Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 553 Second Act - Her Power

The moment we face off, Aria's smirk vanished.

She leaped back, raising her bow, which pulsed with a burning orange glow, as if it had been pulled out from a burning furnace.

SWOOOSH!

Aria fired, and the arrow shot past me, exploding on the vines and scattering flames in a wild spray.

I could tell from that first shot that she had intentionally missed, a display of her dominance.

'Are gods usually this arrogant?'

It was a funny question, considering I was the perfect example of someone who started power-tripping after gaining abilities.@@@@

That's why I didn't hate what the creator did all that much.

It was all too powerful, so it began playing pranks out of boredom.

I was pretty sure I would've done worst thing if I'd had live that long.

Regardless, now that the creator had messed with me, I was determined to teach it a lesson in the future.

SWOOOSH!

Another arrow followed, then another, each bursting like a mini explosion around me.

The flames spread, leaving patches of red-hot sand and smoke. But I didn't mind.

I wanted this fight to stretch out. I craved the power flowing back into my muscles, my senses sharpening, eager to see how I stacked up against the so-called gods in this place.

I let her fire, dodging and running just out of reach of each blast.

Aria narrowed her eyes, recognizing that I wasn't backing down—and that I hadn't launched a single attack.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" she called over the crackling flames.

"Not at all. I enjoyed fucking your pussy way more," I teased, watching annoyance flicker across her face.

"Take this seriously, or else..."

"Or else what? You gonna blow me... away?"

"On second thought, I don't mind that. How about this: if I win, you'll become my slave, and if you win, I'll be your boy toy? Either way, it works for me."

"I just imagined it."

"That's a lie! Chaos Flames are one of the rarest types of flames Even I—" She paused, realizing her own insecurities creeping in.

"I'm super talented, like really, really talented," I chuckled, enjoying her reaction.

This was what it was supposed to be—to earn respect, to hold my ground, to be feared. Pride swelled in me; even here, I was still overpowered.

'This place isn't so bad after all; at least it's not boring. It would be one thing if there were no women, but I can just pick up goddesses and build my harem from scratch while I figure out a way out.'

"What are you thinking ?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm just wondering what the ratio of gods to goddesses is in this place. Don't get me wrong—I enjoy messing with you, but I like to taste different flavors from time to time."

"You're infuriating," she shot back.

"It comes with being super strong and handsome," I replied with a grin, basking in the moment.

"I'll teach you a lesson!," she declared, taking a deep breath.

Her aura surged, glowing blue lines tracing intricate patterns across her skin, radiating power.

Her bow transformed into a futuristic design, the same glowing lines weaving along its surface.

Behind her, twelve blue metallic halos expanded, glowing with bright blue intensity.

"I'm warning you... Dodge this if you don't want to die!"

SWOOOOSH!

SWOOOOSH! Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

SWOOOOSH!

Countless arrows shot toward me, traveling at almost undodgeable speeds.

But I had a plan. I concentrated, creating barrier after barrier. Each shattered like glass upon impact, but they bought me precious seconds to dodge the attack.

As the arrows crashed into the vines, they obliterated everything in their path.

'Yeah, she's really a goddess,' I chuckled, finding her display of power amusing me. I wasn't the only one holding back.

'Guess I'll have to take this more seriously.'
