Chapter 322  321: I'd Have It No Other Way

Corey had learnt a few things from Chucky, the spirit of the Perceptual Nexus Repository. One of them was about the uses of the stars in the Perceptual Nexus Repository.

The stars had other uses asides from being used as clones in the virtual reality room and as energy sources for the entire Perceptual Nexus Repository.

One of them was that the stars could help Corey multitask.

Before his baptism under the Eye of God, Corey was always able to perform two or more tasks at the same time with his mind.

Corey was obviously not the only person to be able to multitask with his or her mind. It was in fact, a very common feat as one's intelligence stat increased.

But, even though beings with a high intelligence stat could multitask, there was usually a strain on the mind of the individual.

The mental strain was dependent on the number of tasks issued to the mind, type of the tasks issued to the mind and the intelligence stat of the individual.

Corey previously experienced this discomfort whenever he multitasked on more than ten things.

But now…

Corey experienced no such thing.

The stars in the Perceptual Nexus Repository were like Corey's mind and Corey could use them to analyze and think on certain problems or thoughts of his.

Corey called them The Stars of Consciousness.

Corey had so many stars and this meant Corey could use that many stars to act as his mind and think on whatever thought that came to his mind.

Imagine being able to have thousands of thoughts simultaneously and independently at the same time. It was an ability that could even rival the mental capability of immortals, gods, and demons alike.

Corey was already using some stars to ponder on certain issues, concerns and thoughts he had. And one of the issues was related to his Ears of Omniscience.

Corey had to use a whole five stars to receive, process and filter out the information he was getting from his Ears of Omniscience at every second.

One would think that the information he would get just from being able to hear almost everything would be small and somewhat insignificant.

But, it was a lot.

A freaking lot.

At first, Corey used only a single star to receive, process and filter out the information he was getting from his Ears of Omniscience.

But, the star almost exploded from the amount of information it received in the first ten seconds.

When the star almost exploded, Corey felt a life threatening danger and he quickly transferred the information to three stars.

Even with three stars, Corey knew the stars were a little bit strained. Although there was no risk of explosion, Corey did not want to take the risk, so he gave the tasks to two more stars.

It was after he did this that Corey no longer felt any sort of strain and he remembered how relived he was then.

The danger he felt when one of his stars was about to explode was immense, and Corey knew he had to be immensely careful with his Ears of Omniscience.

He did not even want to imagine what would happen to him if he had not unlocked the Perceptual Nexus Repository before getting his Ears of Omniscience.

Knowing too much was not good for him since he was still weak and a mortal. Maybe when he got stronger, he would not have to be so cautious about using his Eyes of Omniscience and Ears of Omniscience.

"I don't know why you're hiding your abilities nor do I care."

Dante's calm voice reverberated in the surroundings and the air subtly became warmer. He unsheathed the red sword from the scabbard and the air instantly became heavy and hotter.

"All I know is that you'll fall by my sword today."

Dante calmly said and Corey shifted his gaze from the red sword in Dante's hand to Dante.

A bright smile appeared on Corey's face, and a few seconds later, a dense amount of fog appeared from his body.

"Nice sword you got there."

Dante's brows furrowed and he looked around him, only to see a dense fog surround him and Corey.

"So you want to fight a cowardly battle."

Dante tightened his grip on his sword as he spoke. His gaze remained unblinking as he looked at Corey who chuckled at his words.

"I'm a tier 2. What do you expect?"

Corey chuckled and a second later, his eyes turned completely white.

"Besides…" Corey paused.

'I'm not using fog because I want to fight a cowardly battle… I want to hide my abilities.'

Corey thought, then he twisted his neck with a smile.

"It's been a while since I fought using my abilities. Don't be like the other weakling please."

Corey said, then two black battle axes appeared in his hand.

"Also... I think your blood would surely make my axes advance."

These were the last words Dante heard before the fog completely covered a white eyed Corey.

Dante tried to locate Corey but he could not no matter how hard he tried. The fog was so dense to the point that it limited Dante's vision to only a meter ahead.

Dante exhaled softly, then his eyes changed.

His bright red pupils were no longer circular but was now in a sword shape. The shape was extremely similar to the sword in his hand which released a slight vibration.

'Don't think the fog can hide you from me.'

The instant Dante had this thought, he looked to his left and right, but he saw nothing. The sword released a vibration and without wasting a single second, he fluidly moved his sword to his back.

Clang!

A sound of metal hitting metal reverberated in the surroundings and a surprised sound escaped Corey's lips.

"What a smart sword you have there. Now I really want it."

Corey nonchalantly said, then he quickly jumped backwards.

Slash!

The wind whistled as a red sword cut through Corey's previous position.

Dante tightened his grip on the sword, changed his stance, and with a cold tone, he said:

"Over my dead body."

Corey raised his brows and chuckled.

"I'd have it no other way."

Corey said, then he ran towards Dante with a wide smile.
