LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 16: Chapter 16
{Bonus Chapter for 400 power stones
"He is just a kid," Vixen said angrily seeing Kid Flash picking himself up from the ground,
"The kid is a fool, he has zero faith in magic yet keeps running his mouth in a field he has no business speaking up in and putting everyone's life in danger. This place holds traps capable of killing even me, although I would just come back to life I rather not die. A small slap is a good tool to teach a kid to shut his mouth." I said calmly, focusing on the feeling of danger I felt.
This was the same feeling that made me unwilling to sleep with Harley. Something told me if I slept with her, it would open up a sea of chaos. I got the same feeling about dying, so I wanted to avoid dying.
"I can't have it so that my first death has to do with a brat who is trying to lose his virginity... god that would be embarrassing," I said with a cringe at the thought,
"Magic doesn't even exist," Kid Flash said in a low voice, causing everyone to give him disapproval looks.
"If you don't believe it, then shut up and let those who do believe take up the leading role. At this rate, you would forever be a virgin and a Side Kick... you're not even as fast as Flash," I said with a look of disdain, although that last part was said in a low voice because I was a nice person.
"You have no right talking to him like that. Yes, he was extremely foolish, but he is our teammate." Someone beat Vixen to defend Kid Flash, it was the emo girl who spoke emotionlessly, although her eyes burned with displeasure.
"But his action put my darling in danger," Harley said angrily, but I waved my hands.
"Let's not fight, fighting isn't always the answer. As a wise man once said, if the demon Trigon would do it, don't do it." I said sagely, confusing everyone at who that demon was, all but the emo girl who shook at my words. I smirked at her reaction, causing her to glare at me.
It took some time to track down why she was so powerful, I mean if this girl snapped, the whole universe could end. Her power was connected to the fact she was a half-demon, and tracking her genetics back led me to hell, where there was a crystal that sealed a powerful demon... and that's how I came to know her father's name.
"We came looking for a spear, and they came on a mission to seek Doctor Fate and ensure they are safe or whatever... I didn't come to fight by the way." I said calmly, and to that, the Lava below us was covered by floorboards. We floated down, but as soon as we touched the ground, the tower shook.
"It scans us now? That's dumb." I said before I was forcefully teleported away, I wasn't alone as the emo girl and the girl with the lasso followed.
"What just happened?" Harley demanded, her voice filled with shock as she struggled to grasp the situation.
"Well, it looks like the Tower sensed something off about them. Broly and Wonder GIrl I can understand. Broly is a being... well who knows what is going on inside him, while Wonder Girl is a demi-god. Raven... I don't know why she was taken away." Slade said calmly,
"For now, let's go on and find Fate," Vixen said to which Slade nodded in agreement...

"Wow, I thought you two would land better or at least float," I said seeing the two girls land face-first into the ground. They quickly got up, throwing unhappy glares at me, before they found that they couldn't fly... but I was flying.
I looked at the vast desert we found ourselves in, a seemingly endless never-ending desert with sand everywhere our eyes could land.
"Where are we?" Wonder Girl asked covering her face, the sun in the sky was... well, it was hot. Raven had to remove her hoodie, realizing that this place's magic wasn't simple.
"We are in a dimension within the tower. It's like this tower acts as a nexus point between all realities and a beacon of magical power. this dimension we are in is endless, we are supposed to wait here until the others finish their missions." I said lightly, shocking the two, having a hard time wrapping their heads around this.
"Shocked? Fate is like an avatar of a being of a higher dimension, this isn't anything special." I said while flicking my finger at such great speed, that space didn't have the time to move out of the way. With such speed, space became a liquid, before turning into a solid which cracked like glass before it shattered... but the space quickly healed.
"Ha, a flick of my finger isn't enough to destroy this dimension, truly powerful," I said with a nod of my head, ignoring the two girls horrified looks.
"What did you do?" Wonder Girl, the step-sister of Wonder Woman, demanded, unable to contain her urgency to know the answer.
"I flicked my finger so fast and with so much power, space became tangible. Well, I can't use any more of my power without risking it spilling out into our dimension. I have no interest in searching for a new universe to call home." I said with an annoyed look,
"Just how powerful are you?" Wonder Girl asked in shock.
"I don't know, I just know I have the power to destroy this universe and everyone in it an infinite number of times over with one attack... still pretty weak seeing this place could kill me," I said with a shrug, and again they were speechless. I mean what were they supposed to say to that, with the proof they just saw?
"Don't worry, I'm lucky, things always turn out in my favor," I said calmly. The two girls blinked while looking at my hand which was quickly rotting away. I blinked for some time, before looking at my hand which was indeed rotting.
"Ha," I said, the slap to the face was truly too sudden and powerful. I needed some time to comprehend what was happening... it was then I realized the tower was not happy with me trying to destroy this dimension.
"The sand of time," I said looking at the small amount of sand flying around me, I had ignored it before, but now that I looked at it, this sand was different from the sand they stood on. It had this unique effect, stealing my time, and leading to the effect of my arm rotting.
"So, where does your luck kick in?" Raven asked, causing me to glare at her. I ignored her and focused my will on adapting. But how can I fully adapt to the element of time, with it held the concept of change, and with it being taken away from me, it took away the concept of growth and development, leaving behind the opposite?
How could I adapt if I didn't have the time to do such a thing? I shot into the air, my key exploding off my body. but even Ki was not immune from the power of time, I madly tried to fight the sand, creating clones to quickly die under the sand effect so I could adapt through their death.
I knew something bad would happen if I died, so I madly tried to live... but it was pointless as the sand ignored my clones, only caring for me. I was caught off guard by Raven and Wonder Girl trying to help, but the Sand stole the time from all of their attempts until I was completely dried up, my body breaking down into nothingness as I disappeared from this world.

"Fuck!" I screamed seeing as I had died, and found myself in chains. I knew something bad would happen, and I wasn't wrong seeing the skeleton in front of me, wearing black robes and standing before me. This skeleton had a silver ankh around her neck, which I couldn't help but size up.
"You're the Grim Reaper... no, more like the end. Where is your scythe?" I asked while removing the chains, shattering them much to the skeleton shock.
"... I don't have flesh before your eyes?" The Skeleton sounded oddly like a woman, it was more shocked by how I saw it than anything else.
"Yeah, and? Is the Grim Reaper supposed to look like a wolf or something? Oh... Wow." I turned off my Fiery Golden Eyes, allowing me to see the skeleton the way she wanted to be seen... and she was a beautiful goth lady, I couldn't control myself but have those words slip out. Wow was all I could say.
"You saw into what I am... and you're not scared?" She asked in slight shock, for my eyes allowed me to see into her true nature. She was death pure and simple... no, she was the end. It went deeper than simply living beings, even something like ideas die thanks to her.
Without her, everything would be ever-lasting, your childhood would last forever, the era would last forever, your thoughts would never die, and no new ones would come. For she wasn't simply death but also life. Without her, nothing new would come, and the old would forever last...
"No, why would I fear something I would break free from? You can't hold me, you would never be able to." I said while slowly fading away, but she held on to me, causing me to suddenly stop fading.
