The Almighty Ring

ere cold and the slit in his forehead was opening slowly.
Black malice leaked out from it like blood before it enveloped his entire being.
Bison was taken aback with that sudden change and retreated quietly.

Thump.

Even in outer space where air was extremely scarce and there were hardly any particles around to transmit sound, Jiang Fei was still able to create a loud booming thump when he burst out like a cannon toward the nearby Zola Pincher.

The Pincher noticed Jiang Fei’s incoming presence and shrieked as it extended all its tentacles in his direction.

“Die,” Jiang Fei muttered coldly.
A black cloud emerged from his entire being and streaked toward the attacking tentacles.
It was instant; the tentacles that were touched by the cloud were instantly disintegrated.

The Pincher felt the pain and Jiang Fei’s overwhelming killing instinct.
It shrieked again, this time with the intention to run away.

“Die.”

The Umbral Jiang Fei flew across space and punched the immensely large Pincher’s main body.

WHAM!

The Ultralisk was at least half the size of an entire planet and Jiang Fei’s punch pierced through the entire Ultralisk’s body, creating a large see-through hole that was at least several kilometers in diameter.
That was not the end of it.
At the edge of the hole, black mist could be seen latching itself onto it, eating away the beast from the inside.

Ear piercing shrieks were let out when the beast was completely incapacitated.
There was no way it could fight back.

“You and your kind will try to eat me, but none of you will get away alive,” Jiang Fei scoffed.

The black mist constricted every part of the Ultralisk as it corroded and corrupted its body.
It took some time but eventually, the life and energy essence of the beast were consumed by the black mist.
The entire half-a-planet sized Ultralisk was now a small black-colored matter the size of a basketball, radiating with saturated malice.

Jiang Fei held his palm outward and the ball of black malice zoomed toward him.
When the black ball rested on his palm, Jiang Fei closed his hand, absorbing the entire ball into his body.

“GAH… This feels GOOOD!” Jiang Fei blared and smiled, satisfied.
Two seconds later, the eerie, sinister smile was quickly replaced with a stunned expression.

“What the f*ck just happened?! 0541, what did I just do?” Jiang Fei asked.
He remembered being amongst his soldiers, standing next to Bison, and when he came to, he was already far out in space.

“Captain, I strongly suggest that you seek out Master Theon now and consult him about your condition!” 0541 suggested as it replayed what happened earlier in Jiang Fei’s mind.

“How could this happen?” Jiang Fei gasped.
All he remembered was having a little enmity toward a target and the next thing he knew, the target was eliminated and a portion of his memory was gone.
He thought about it a while and realized that the same thing happened during the massacre.
The moment he had a thought to fight, no matter how small or menial it was, the black matter would immediately come out from the slit on his forehead, enveloping him entirely.
The Umbral transformation then granted him an enormous boost of power in exchange for losing his consciousness, turning him into an instrument of death itself.
Until the target died, he would never return back to normal.

“You’re right.
This is dangerous.
Cancel the ship’s route to Earth immediately.
I need to have myself checked before I do anything devastating.” He was afraid.
Returning to Earth was not an option now.
There were people he loved and cared for.

Even though there weren’t any more threats to him besides the Ultralisks, who could promise that there wasn’t something headed his way? If he lost control, and he was on Earth, the Umbral version of him might actually go on a killing spree until a scene of hell was created before him.
He would not want to wake up someday to see that.

“Aye, captain!”

0541 obeyed the order and quickly changed the ship’s course.
