Calamity Upon This World

Chapter 3: CH-3 Showing Off In Front Of Mother

Once inside, William was greeted by a very spacious white room where the walls and floor were covered in white padding and the ceiling was covered in black padding.

Inside the room were 12 scarecrow-like training dummies; a little further along the walls were six golems, which seemed immobile, seemingly awaiting instructions to move.

Upon entering inside, William couldn't help but think, 'It's been 3 whole days since Mother last saw me; it wouldn't be fair to her if I didn't show off a little'as he removed a seemingly plain grey ring from his left index finger, which was suppressing his mana so he could play with his friends.Once removed, William's body emitted a violent crimson aura.

Before it was quickly suppressed, however, just that brief pressure was enough to tell anyone how much power was contained inside that small child.

"Mother, since I'm going to show off, I'll show you something new," said William with barely contained excitement.

Once he was done saying that he manifested a giant horizontal bow made up of pure wind, the bow was around 200 cm, which was easily bigger than William.

In the centre of the bow was a giant arrow made up of wind, seeing which William smiled as he pulled back his arm, and as if following him, the string of the bow was also pulled back.

"Mother, take notes, as what I'm about to show you is something only a genius like me can show you," William said playfully.

The next moment, a flame was added to the tip of the arrow, which quickly engulfed the whole arrow, making it a flaming arrow.

"Hey, this is just the fiery arrow you showed me last week," Myra said with a seemingly confused expression.

"True, but who said I was done?" William playfully shot back.

The next moment, tendrils of lightning were added to the bow.

"Tri-triple elemental fusion," Myra said in a state of disbelief.

However, she quickly recovered from her shock, as she said.

"That's very impressive; however, it's very naive of you to think that your enemies will just stand still waiting for you to cast your spells," Myra said, now seemingly composed.

As if waiting for her command, the six golems on the wall started moving.

The Golems were made entirely of grain stone, except for a red orb in the middle of their faces.

They all varied in size and shape, ranging from 5'0 to 8'0 feet, ranging from bulky to small and agile.

They all started running towards William to stop him from casting his spell."Thanks, Mother, I was waiting for you to do something like this,"

William said, completely composed, as if the six gigantic golems running towards him didn't faze him in the slightest.

The very next moment, thick tendrils of pure darkness shot forward from the golem's shadow, completely immobilising them.

"W-what?" Myra was completely confused as she recognised the spell but wasn't sure how her son, despite not having a shadow element, was able to use shadow bind.

Paying no mind to his mother's confusion, William just smiled playfully as he manifested six ice spears above his head, each around 20 inches long, and covered them in lightning.

The next moment, the spears shot forward at a speed inconceivable to the human eye towards the six golems, who were still trapped by their own shadow.

The spears precisely impaled the red orbs of the golems, leaving them with no choice but to crumble helplessly.

"Well, now that that's taken care of, let's get this over with," said William as he released his hand.

On his command, the wind arrow, reinforced by both flame and lightning elements, shot forward at a speed even faster than the spears before them, towards the helpless training dummy.

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Just like that, with an ear-deafening explosion, there were no more training dummies or broken pieces of the golems.

"So, mother, are you satisfied with your son's progress in the last 3 days?"  asked William with a playful expression.

"H-how? " That was all Myra could utter, seeing the impossible-to-believe sight before her."

Triple elemental fusion, dual casting, and infusing both spells with elements—a whole new shadow element—destroying dummies capable of withstanding an attack of 1000 BF—all destroyed by an 8-year-old,"

Myra said, still in shock at what she just witnessed.

'How did you two even birth such a monster?'

A serene voice echoed inside Myra's head, asking this question.

"I have no idea," Myra mumbled in a tone inaudible to William.

"Hah, what can I say, Mother? I guess I'm just a genius, and I also ascended to the 2nd ascension while you were gone,"

William said in a tone as if he didn't care about his narcissistic words.

I was just gone for 3 days." Myra said in a tone, expressing how confused she was."Wait, so you awakened the shadow element for your ascension?" asked Myra, expressing her curiosity.

"Shadow and darkness element manipulations," William replied.

"What you got two elemental manipulations for just one ascension?" asked Myra, appearing confused.

However, she quickly composed herself and said,"As expected of a divine aspect, it really is different." Myra said, appearing composed.

"Wait, what's your BF like now?" asked Myra, appearing curious.

Hearing her question, William uttered,

"Status."

------------------------------------------------------------"Oh, my BF is just a humble 1146," William said calmly, although his eyes still had a hint of mischief.

"WHATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! " Myra was completely shocked by what she just heard.

"Bu-but you're just 8," asked Myra, still unable to contain her shock.

"True, but mother, you're forgetting something. I'm a genius,"

said William as if just stating a fact.

"That may be true, but this is too absurd," said Myra, still not convinced.

"Mother, I'm the second ever Divine Aspect user in existence; I'm hailed as a peerless talent throughout the continent; I'm the same boy who awakened the moment he was born; I'm a progenitor of an element; I think it might be a bit too late for you to start getting shocked by me possessing more BF than most D grade adventurers despite only being 8," said William, not even caring about his own narcissistic words.

While saying this, William was looking at his own aspect being displayed on a screen in front of him.

------------------------------------------------------------Looking at his own aspect William couldn't help but smile and acknowledge why Tier V aspects are called divine.

"Bu-" Myra was flabbergasted by hearing her son list his own achievements.

However, before she could even say anything,~knock ~knock~She was interrupted by a knock on the door, while Myra was still a bit shaken.

William ran past her, shouting "Father!!!! ".
