Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 83: 83: Discord

Jin sighed hearing Caleb's question. "Captain is stronger than me, no doubt. The mastery of five powers isn't just one plus one equals two. It's not as simple as that. It brought a qualitative leap in his strength, making him have the power to go toe-to-toe with most Tier 9 1st Variation Apokalips... And even 2nd Variation as long as it's not speed type, captain could escape."

"Then who is stronger? Captain or Tamasai?" Caleb continued, genuinely curious.

"I don't know... That guy had never shown his real strength to us. However, he might be a Manifestor like you, but he has the physique-enhancing ability. Of course, that's just my theory. I don't have enough proof.

'Manifestor? Me? Well, I might be the fake and he must be the real one between us.' A wary smile made its way on his face as his thoughts lingered on the fact that the misunderstanding about him being a Manifestor was going strong.

Tamasai, on the other hand, might be really a Manifestor in this world and that would explain his strength. Unlike him, who was just conveniently riding their misunderstanding to avoid further questions and suspicions.

"I think his stronger than me... The only way I became the captain was the fact that he wasn't interested in the position." Fushigiro said with a bitter smile. Then he looked at Tamasai. "That guy... I think he can kill all of us if he wants to."

Jin and Caleb were stupefied. Not expecting their captain to have such a high opinion of Tamasai.

"No, I'm not overestimating him." A chuckle escaped Fushigiro's mouth as he saw the look of suspicion on the faces of the two. "My basis is, he can move faster than me even if I use Deka Step. I've witnessed his movements. Unlike me, he's not using any technique. It's just his raw physical strength. If don't believe me, now you'll see!"

...

Tamasai stared at the Golems, which started to take their steps, walking towards him. Each step caused the ground to tremble. It was a scene to behold as their sizes towered.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The ground shook, but Tamasai remained motionless. His eyes didn't change even when the six golems had surrounded him. He looked up at Golem expressionlessly, as if he hadn't put them in his eyes.

One of the golems brazenly eyed Tamasai with its yellow toad eyes. There was a mocking glint of light on its pupils.

'These Apokalips have some semblance of wisdom.' Tamasai looked thoughtful, not disturbed by a giant rocky fist coming on his way.

As the stone knuckles were about to reach Tamasai, his figure disappeared. Then he was already on top of the head of the golem that attacked him.

The golem looked at the spot where Tamasai vanished with an apparent look of confusion. What it didn't expect was one of his kind to punch him in the head.

BOOM!

The golem felt a strong force as the fist of his kind buried itself in him. He was pushed away and half of his face crumbled to pieces of debris.

It couldn't help but glare at his kind in anger mixed with confusion. Why did his kind punch him!?

"HHAHAHA! What a stupid golem!" Fatty burst out laughing as he witnessed the scene. The other golem punched the other due to Tamasai standing on its head. However, it didn't know this.

Just like that, Tamasai kept changing places, from one head to another, discording chaos and confusion amongst the golem guardians. An internal strife occurred... The golems began to ignore Tamasai and fought each other with vigor.

"What a brilliant ploy. Well played, good game." Caleb couldn't help but comment.

The golems began to fight each other. However, it didn't last long as the golems eventually stopped. When they did so, they already had a degree of damage to their bodies. Yet, the hunting party was helpless as the broken parts on their bodies mended themselves and they returned to their peak state after a minute.

Jin, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face. He shook his head in disappointment when he saw Tamasai already on his way to them. It was as if he was disappointed that Tamasai came back in one piece.

"At least, we now know the two abilities of golems. Tier 9 Apokalips can only possess two abilities at most, according to my observation in these past few days. But my theory isn't well founded yet. I need more data."

Caleb was startled when Tamasai appeared in their hiding place. He scanned the guy up and down. Except for some dirt and scratches, he was perfectly unharmed.

"My task is done. What's next?"

Tamasai said in a neutral tone.

Fushigiro didn't wait for Jin's response.

"Well done. Now, just help us take care of at least two of them once the fight starts."

Tamasai just nodded, but didn't say a thing. He just remained still and quietly looked in the air like a professional salted fish.

"How do we fight those big rocks, though? They would just keep regenerating their parts no matter how much damage we cause to them. Not to mention the gravity. Could we even move within their range?"

"What do you think? Do you think we can move just fine near those golems?" Fushigiro turned his head at Tamasai.

Tamasai tilted his head, his eyes deep and ponderous. "Maybe... I can't even feel it, so I don't know."

'Damn! Just how strong is this guy, really!?'

It was a low-key flex and a benchmark of the difference in strength between Tamasai and the rest of the members.

'Can I reach this kind of level of strength once I became a Grade 2?'

It was a question worth pondering.

Fushigiro clapped his palms to get the attention of the members. The four teenagers, as always, excluded themselves from the conversation. They didn't dare to breathe, afraid of being tasked to face the group of golems. Their only fate was to get crushed to death if that really happened.

Caleb held back his laugh, seeing the nervousness of the four.

"Well, first thing first. I don't want anyone to act out of their roles. We need to be mobile and connected if we want to survive this ordeal!"
