The villainess shall be mine

Chapter 103 Darkmatter



"The most important fact that we need to take into consideration is our speed of attack," I said, as we continued to move forward, readying ourselves for the next battle. "We can't waste the effect of surprise. After all, we can't let the ship get damaged, otherwise, all of this would be a waste of time."

"I understand. I will watch your back," Blanca said and I was a bit surprised.

'Did her impression of me change?' I thought. 'Well, that's a good thing I guess. This battle will help me to determine what kind of person she is.'

"Yeah, make sure that the tentacles don't hit the ship while I take care of the main body," I said. "These things are disgusting, but more importantly, their movements are unpredictable, making it a little bit troublesome."

"Are you sure that you can deal with the main body alone though? That red liquid looked like it was dangerous." Blanca said, looking like she wondered where my confidence came from. She didn't know about the antimatter after all.

"Don't worry, I am invincible," I said, trying to make it look like I was joking. I was trying to lighten up the mood because we were about to fight a giant monster with alien-like disgusting tentacles, but it looked like I sucked at making jokes.

"I see. If it was someone else word's, then I would have doubted it, but coming from…" Blanca said, looking extremely serious.

"I was half-joking, don't take it seriously," I said, and Blanca looked worried, so I reassured her again. "Still, there's nothing to worry about apart from the ship. That monster is already as good as dead."

"You are weird sometimes," she said, "and that must be way, Liu… Well, whatever."

"What?" I said, but Blanca looked like she was preparing mentally so I didn't ask any further.

"Okay, let's do this," I said, as we approached the entrance of the hidden area, and then, I noticed that the disgusting substances on the wall got thicker, looking like enormous veins with pores. "It's better to not step on those things."

From the look of it, these things were somehow connected to the monster so It was better to avoid touching them.

"Who would want to touch such a thing?" Blanca said, looking extremely disgusted by what she saw. "I wouldn't even come here if it wasn't for our goal."

"Okay, that's the entrance. Let's stop talking for now." I said as Cristal approached us and turned into a helmet.

We need to look through the thick tentacles blocking us from entering the area, and the x-ray vision was really useful at times like that.

"Can you see what I see?" I asked.

"Yeah, this area looks bigger than I expected. To think that there would be such a place underground." Blanca said through the helmet; "however, this monster is just too big."

"You are right," I said, "this thing will be a pain to deal with, but this is a risk worth taking as we can't build a spaceship from the scratch."

Blanca and I didn't feel scared by what we saw, and I realized that Blanca had more battle experience than I was.

"There are a lot of zombies too," Blanca said, looking at the hordes of walking dead within the area.

"As soon as we enter the area, make sure to watch out for those smaller tentacles while you deal with the zombies," I said, looking at the monster who hanged on the ceiling of what looked like a confined space. It was big and eight enormous tentacles grew out of its body and reached the ground and then continued to spread around the room like veins. "I will deal with the enormous ones."

Thousands of smaller tentacles enveloped the pillar-like ones but these were similar to the ones that could detect sounds and movement. Even though I said they were smaller, it was only because the pillar-like ones were too big.

This place is big enough to put ten ships that could transport a couple of thousands of people, but there was only one inside.

'Really, humans are despicable and selfish sometimes,' I thought as I looked at the zombies who were certainly the nobles and influential people of this country along with their families.

"I will leave that helmet so Cristal can assist you during the fight," I said.

"Didn't you say that you need this when you fight?" Blanca asked.

"Yeah, but this time, things are different, so I will take a different approach," I said, thinking about the things I needed to try out.

"How many secrets do you have? I feel like you always have something up your sleeves. Seriously, it's scary with that personality of yours." Blanca said, and I didn't quite understand what she said about my personality. I knew that I changed somehow, after what happened, but I believe that it was for the better. "Well, it's quite reassuring to have your around at times like this. It makes me feel that we will be to do something about this monster," she added.

"Well, if you say so," I said, feeling like it was not really the time for a long discussion, but I knew that at least, we were not feeling too much pressure that might hinder our performance, so in a way, it was also a good thing. "Like before, I will count until three, and we go all out."

"Okay."

We approached the entrance and my helmet turned into a plasma that I floated next to me.

I raised my hand, in a way that allowed Blanca to see my fingers, then counted until three.

'One, two, three.'

"Now!" I shouted and the plasma sword that floated next to me cut down the tentacles that blocked the path.

"Kreeeee!"

As soon as I cut down the thick tentacle, the monster immediately noticed our presence and the thousands of tentacles with mouths turned in our direction.

Not only the tentacles, but the zombies had also noticed our presence and started running at us at full speed.

Crack! Crack!

Sounds of cracking echoed throughout the rooms as the zombies didn't feel pain and just dashed forward at full strength.

Along with the zombies, the tentacles also headed toward us, and since my power of neutralization couldn't stop them all because they were too big, so even though we could avoid the zombies by flying, the tentacles were more difficult to deal with.

"Kreek!"

Fortunately, Blanca was good at controlling her power and her reflexes were sharp, so she didn't have any difficulty avoiding the tentacles.

However, their numbers were a problem, and the only way to deal with them all at once was to deal with the main body.

Swoosh! Shoowh!

The tentacles were trying to eat me alive as I rushed towards the huge disgusting thing that hung on the ceiling.

However, the black cape was superior to any kind of floating vehicle when it comes to speed and if it wasn't for the girls, I would have traveled to the main continent alone. Consequently, as long as my reflexes were sharp enough, the black cape would follow my body movements.

"Kreek! Psss! Psss!"

The tentacles began to shoot red liquids from their mouth as I approached the main body.

After that, avoiding the tentacles while avoiding the liquid that they shot at me was a little bit trickier.

"These things are huge," I said to myself, looking at the four cores that looked bigger than a car. "And if that red liquid drops on the ship, then it would be bad."

At that moment, I stopped in mid and opened my palms, then, two black spheres appeared on my hand, and soon, dozens of these spheres appeared around me.

These black spheres were made of new matter that I had to create by duplicating the new atoms from my dissolved fingers and with the help of what I called my astral body. I called it the Darkmatter.

Before I changed the name of my power from spiritual body to astral body, because the former was a little bit lame, I never thought I would be able to do the things that I managed to do.

With my astral form, I control the atoms that constituted my body, and since the black cubes could duplicate, I thought it was an interesting idea if I could create more black cubes, but with Cristal's help, I came up with something extremely fantastic.

To put it simply, I could only create antimatter from atoms that were part of my body, but when I thought about it, my power of neutralization could cover a certain area. In other words, it was a domain that was directly connected to my body.

The problem was that when I tried to generate antimatter, the range of my power was greatly reduced even though it was unstoppable.

That was when I looked at my plasma sword and thought about something. The blade had a part of my finger in them, so there were atoms from my body mixed in, thus, I could generate antimatter from them, but how exactly?

I finally found the answer. My astral body wasn't actually what I thought it was because when I created that ability, I brought a matter from a completely different dimension to this world.

This matter had various interesting properties, but it was the its capacity to duplicate atoms by converting them that interested me this time.

Every time I activated my plasma blade, my astral body converted the other particles in the surroundings and turned them into a combination of neutral particles and antimatter.

In summary, what I gained when I created this new ability was the fact that my body was now made of completely different matters and that I could control with my thought.

The dark matters looked like some kind metal, but the cool thing about it was that I could control them with my thought, changing their shapes and their size, and at the same time, they were as destructive as the antimatter.

"Sorry, but we need this ship you disgusting thing," I said.
