CHAPTER 1703: DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIGHT? (PART 2)

Captulo 1703: Chapter 118: Do You Believe in Light? (Part 2)

Finally, that beam of light became clear.

Jason and the old man both saw this change.

Joy appeared on the old man’s face.

Unconsciously, he quickened his pace.

Then…

He fell.

The steps that were originally filled with iron nails and scorching heat unexpectedly turned into a slope, covered in ice.

"No!”

The old man shouted loudly as he swiftly slid down.

A second or two later, the old man disappeared.

And Jason?

His whole body was firmly pressed against the slope,

Then, moving upward inch by inch.

The higher he went, the steeper the slope became.

The higher he went, the harder it was to find leverage.

The scars on his body increased, while the temperature below him grew colder.

However, Jason didn’t mind at all.

An iron will stronger than steel supported him to continue forward.

As for retreat?

He wouldn’t.

He didn’t want to experience that helpless choice again.

He didn’t want to be the person offered choices by others.

He wanted to take the initiative.

He wanted to become someone who could choose freely.

"Ah!”

Jason let out a low roar, raised his hand, and pressed it firmly against the slope above his head. Letting his bloodied hand and the cold slope freeze together, he increased the friction, then lifted his other frozen hand and pressed it further up. ꭆÃ₦ƟＢĚṨ

Rip!

The frozen flesh was torn apart.

Again and again.

By the end, there was no flesh left on Jason’s palms.

Just bare bones and ice shards.

But Jason continued.

He still had elbows, he still had knees to use.

Step by step.

Jason kept moving forward.

Meanwhile, the voices of mockery and ridicule in his ears grew louder.

"What are you still persisting for?”

"It’s clearly endless!”

"Yes!”

"Give up!”

"You’ve already done enough!”

"You’ve created a miracle!”

"If you stop now, who could say anything against you?”

…

Jason narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look around.

In the darkness, he couldn’t see anyone speaking.

All that existed was deep darkness.

And those thorns.

Hoo!

Jason took a deep breath.

Then, shouted word by word—

"Shut up, if you make another sound, I’ll eat you!”

Jason’s expression was serious, clearly not joking.

And with that shout, the mocking and ridiculing voices ceased.

Jason could move forward with peace of mind.

Even if large rocks occasionally fell from above, the slope’s temperature dropped lower, and his torso risked freezing, it was the same.

Finally, the moment Jason lifted his hand again, he touched emptiness.

No!

To be precise, he touched a platform.

Jason looked up.

He saw that beam of light.

A light close at hand!

Jason flipped himself onto the platform.

That beam of light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

The injuries on Jason’s body visibly healed.

He stood up.

A voice came from within the beam of light—

"Do you believe in the light?”

Jason shook his head.

"No!”

"I believe in myself!”

"Because…”

Jason answered seriously.

But before Jason could finish, the beam of light began to tremble rapidly and started to collapse inward.

The voices of ridicule and mockery arose once again.

"Wrong answer!”

"Wrong answer!”

"So what if you reached the top?”

"Aren’t you still a failure?”

…

Jason coldly glanced at the voices he couldn’t pin down, his gaze returning to the ‘light’ about to extinguish, and with an unprecedented solemn tone, he continued—

"I am my own ‘light’!”

The impending extinction of light was halted.

Suddenly, it brightened swiftly.

In an instant…

Brilliance!

[Consume 1000 Satiety Points, 100 Excitement of Feast Points, 20 Pleasure of Feast Points, 1 Satisfaction of Feast Point to elevate Flash Technique to Transcendent level!]

[Determining the uniqueness of ‘Flash Technique’, the assessment begins…]

[Assessment passed!]

[Flash Technique upgraded!]

[Flash Technique has advanced to Transcendent! Unique attributes initiated!]

[Flash Technique ascended to unique: Possessor of Light!]

[Possessor of Light: You are the ‘light’ of this world, and you will possess all of light. Simultaneously, you are unique, and you have initiated your myth! Effects: 1) Career Creation; 2) Career Feedback; 3) Subordination.]

[Career Creation: You can create a ‘career’ that completely aligns with your own desires and the definition of ‘light.’]

[Career Feedback: Upon completing ‘career’ creation, it attains ‘immortality’, giving birth to 77 initial ‘professionals’, each of whom can become a source of your strength. When they die, the strength they possess is fed back to you (including but not limited to knowledge, skills, etc.).]

[Subordination: When a ‘professional’ reaches the seventh tier in your created ‘career’, you can, with their consent, make them your subordinate. When they become your subordinate, your created ‘career’ will exhibit traits such as ‘deepening’ and ‘transformation’, taking up the position of ‘professionals’ you possess.]

…

[Yes/No, create your own ‘career’?]

Jason looked at the choice, not offering an immediate answer.

He squinted his eyes, feeling his body at this moment.

Unprecedented wellness!

Though his attributes hadn’t changed at all, when [Possessor of Light] appeared, Jason could distinctly feel the world’s light in complete submission to him.

He could transform into light.

And control light.

The simplest way was—

Boom!

The ‘Shepherd’, firmly absorbed by the [Dark Behemoth], struggled desperately to break free from the monster.

Yet, as time went on.

The suction grew increasingly stronger.

But he had a backup plan.

Just as he prepared to use it, he suddenly spotted a flash of light.

A light that flickered and vanished.

Then, when he came to, he noticed his massive body had been sliced open.

Including that ripple alongside.

The entire sky enveloped in ripples appeared to be split in two by a light sword.

What happened?

The ‘Shepherd’ was utterly shocked; he then watched, terrified, at a figure formed of ‘light’ standing before him.

Yes, it was Jason.

"You, you…”

"Found the source point!”

"How is this possible!”

The ‘Shepherd’ roared incredulously.

He had arranged for so many years—all for the ‘source point,’ wasn’t it?

Yet, each attempt ended in failure.

Either blocked by someone or due to bad luck.

Still, this didn’t dishearten the ‘Shepherd.’

Because he knew, failure is the mother of success. As long as he persisted, he would eventually triumph.

However, no matter what, he couldn’t fathom.

Jason actually succeeded!

On what grounds?

Why?

Despite countless attempts, he failedwhy did someone he merely regarded as a pawn succeed?

Moreover, succeeded at the first attempt!

Jason gazed at the incredulous ‘Shepherd,’ sighing softly.

"Don’t you understand yet?”

His understated words sent a shiver down the ‘Shepherd’s’ spine.

Evidently, as astute as the opponent was, he instantly guessed something.

Yet guessing was guessing.

The ‘Shepherd’ was unwilling to accept such a conjecture.

"Lies!”

"You’re deceiving me!”

The ‘Shepherd’ roared with fury, about to launch another attack,

Jason shook his head.

You can never wake someone pretending to be asleep.

Moreover, the relationship between them made him even less obligated.

Jason raised his hand.

Light glimmered.

Already split in two, the ‘Shepherd’ was immediately sliced into millions of fragments. Pinching a fingertip-sized piece of flesh, Jason let the rest be devoured by the Dark Behemoth.

[Devour the Fragment of the Beast of Deficient Desires]

[Physical strength, stamina, and injuries excessively recovered!]

[Satiety +10000]

[Satiety: 54781]

[Excitement of Feast +100]

[Excitement of Feast: 1980]

[All attributes +1]

…

The Dark Behemoth was inherently a part of him.

Anything consumed was naturally equivalent to being eaten by him.

After devouring [Fragment of the Beast of Deficient Desires], the Dark Behemoth roared with satisfaction, then disappeared from where it stood.

With a flick, Jason returned to the ground.

The crowd stood in stunned silence; Taniel struggled to rise, asking tentatively,

"Did we win?”

Jason nodded, assuredly replied—

"We won!”
