" Dad? "
Rudra looked at Kartikeya's body reforming itself as he regained consciousness and sighed in relief.
His son had been on the verge of death and had he been even a few seconds late to arrive at the scene, or had Kartikeya not used his instincts and avoided the worst part of Modal's attack, he would have undoubtedly died on the spot.
It was only when the seed of life saved Kartikeya's life and he regained consciousness that Rudra took a look around his immediate surroundings as he realised that in his haste to save Kartikeya, he had levelled everything in a two mile radius.
The strength required to destroy a tier10 barrier was not something a tier8 being was capable of producing and Rudra could only achieve the feat by using several tier10 seeds at once to create a power that triumphed even the strength of the barrier.
At that moment, Rudra did not dare hold-back or think about his immediate surroundings, however, as a result of his desperation the shockwave that resulted from the tier10 barrier breaking apart destroyed everything within a two mile radius.
Emperor Cervantez and Augustus Won Knight were severely injured but were the only ones left standing as Neatwit and Patricia Won Knight were left coughing blood on the floor.
Jake, who was banging his fists against the barrier took the brunt of the impact as well as he was knocked out unconscious with his HP bar tethering at a dangerously low 2%.
However, while the god's survived the blast, the mortals did not.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators that had gathered to watch the tri-state tournament finals were all reduced to ashes, with the only survivors being the other tier6 or higher gods in the surroundings, with the casuality list not being limited to just commoners as it also involved one Kremeth Rajput.
The poor boy had suffered the most unfortunate and gruesome death as his body had been separated from the hips as he was broken into two pieces.
" NO, NO, NO, NO, NO " Rudra screamed in panic as he rushed towards the boy and used the power of the seed of life to attempt regeneration as he ordered the queen to create a soul barrier in the surroundings and try to preserve his leaking life energy.
Only the seed of life could perform ' Perfect Regeneration ' however, for the seed of life to perform a perfect regeneration a soul barrier needed to trap the remnants of a dead body's soul in full to prevent any complications.
Such soul barriers were the whole premise behind ' Safe ' and ' Battle ' zones in Sigma which Rudra had abolished after coming to power.
Not even 10 seconds had passed since his death and through quick intervention and help by the queen, Rudra was able to save his nephew by regenerating him, however, it wasn't a perfect regeneration.
The re-born Kremeth had significantly reduced stats at the same level, with his intelligent stat taking the biggest hit as despite being a tier4 warrior his intelligence stat rivalled one of a tier1 individual.
A status evaluation by the queen suggested that the regeneration had been 99.5% successful, however, there was a small bit of his soul that dissipated in the 10 seconds that Rudra took to save him and as a result, junior's brain like that of a four year old, forgetting many of the nuances and experiences he once knew about.
As Rudra read this report, a steady stream of tears began forming in his eyes as his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He loved Kremeth Jr almost as much as he loved Kartikeya!
He had not intended to hurt the poor child in this way, however, as a result of his single minded attempt at saving Kartikeya's life, he had accidentally ended that of his nephew and hundreds of thousands of others.
The mental state that he had stabilised through a lot of conscious positive effort began to destabilise at this moment as the thoughts of barging into the celestial realm and tearing the perfect warrior apart gripped Rudra's heart.
He wanted to inflict as much pain as possible to the ultimate existence and his destructive thoughts were only amplified by the seeds in his body.
He could no longer control his killing aura, as although just a sliver of it leaked, the poor Kremeth Jr who had just reincarnated and had the brain of a four year old, began crying and peeing himself in his presence as he could not handle the pressure that Rudra exuded.
Looking at his sorry state, Rudra wondered as to how he could ever apologise to Asiva and Max about this mistake that he committed as for the first time in his life he felt ashamed and afraid of facing the consequences of his own actions.
' You are a monster! ' The seed of chaos whispered in Rudra's mind.
' You are not fit to live in this universe, it's time for you to ascend ' The seed of space whispered.
' Are you sure you did not do this willingly? Are you sure it wasn't what you actually wanted to do at the back of your mind? " The seed of knowledge said as it planted a doubt in Rudra's mind.
' HAHAHA, I TOLD YOU IT'S THE BEST POLICY TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! ' the seed of darkness whispered in his mind as Rudra felt like the world was spinning at his feet.
" Supreme Lord, are you okay? Do you know who is behind these dastardly attacks? " Patricia asked Rudra, however, Rudra reflexively flinched away from her as he stepped away from both Patricia and junior.
" I'm sorry-, I'm sorry " Rudra mumbled as he teleported out of the destroyed arena, leaving the mess he created behind as he fled away like a coward.
Never in his life had he ever fled a battle scene, it was his second home, a place he often stood tall, however, for the first time in his entire life, he fled it when he was the undisputed strongest warrior in the universe.
