Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 202: XVI The Second Big Bang

Meating in the conference room in the fourth floor with Zaid, Elijah set the course back to Peah while he set free the elves in the ship. The travel would take a month in the highest speed but he already asked for a scout unit composed of sixth realm mortal cultivators and a ninth realm captain to patrol the planet and send him reports regularly.

"Zaid, are you sure Ava and Evelynne are not in the planet?" Elijah asked as he ate his snacks. It was not like he needed to eat or sleep anymore but the taste was too good to stop eating. 

"Sure. They left the planet three years ago in a small battleship Ava's family prepared. I was invited to go with them, but I refused." He didn't had to explain why because Elijah already knew and he turned to his old friend and spoke seriously

"I understand, but sometimes the best way to forget a past relationship is to start a new one like you always said to me. Go play in the second floor, there are many elves in this ship. I won't interfere and you will be on you own.  Maybe you can succeed in courting at least one of them before the ship arrives in Peuh. Ah, and don't be held back by females, I heard the male elves are pretty too and like hardcore play." After sending his friend away. Elijah entered self contemplation. He had too many skills and it was starting to be a problem.

"With the Time War approaching I will have to face a lot of celestial true bodies at the same time. I must breakthrough  before that. Orion, there is a red star close to dying in this starsector?"

"Spreading the sensors. Two stars in a similar state were found, one is being compressed by something and it is predicted to become a singularity in the next decades. The other is 300 light years from here, the energy reading are off the charts with a probability of supernova at 98%."

"We should go to the later. It is better to absorb and refine all this energy than letting it blow. With this energy reading I could even breakthrough in one go." One of the secrets Elijah had that made him  refine so much trinity force was because of this. He searched for dying stars and another anomalies in space and feed on their energy like a vampire. Elijah only did it on small stars closing to death, this was the first he would try a big red. If the small could bring his about one to two thousand drops, this one could be refined into at least five thousand.

"Everyone, I must tell the ship is going to stop for a moment. A red star closing to dying is near and I must feed on it to advance in cultivation." Elijah transmitted his voice throughout the ship before stepping outside. The big red illuminated his face from far away as he stared at it. It was not because he could breathe in space and look directly at star that others could, this was the protection of the trinity force, origins and many other factors. Cassie could only fight because she inherited her mother's eternal void blood, so she could easily breath in outer space.

Standing still for a moment,  he prepared for what he was going to do and in a sudden burst of speed Elijah shot himself like a bullet straight into the star's heart. Heat, more than anything else he ever felt burned his body, a intense amount of radiation attacked his body only to be absorbed by a this rune on his neck while a few others appeared all over his body

46: Eugnas, supreme origin of blood. 34: Ardai, supreme origin of radiation. 31: Delhis, supreme origin of protection. 30: Thurisaz, supreme origin of strength and vitality. 10: Ened Ventus Ifrit Aqua, Supreme Origin of Primal Elements. 

With all those origins working together Elijah felt nothing as a montruous amount of energy entered his body and circulated his energy paths as he refined into countless drops of trinity force adding to the two thousand  he already had. two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five thousand... eight thousand, nine thousand, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. When it hit 9999, it was like a invisible wall appeared out of nowhere that blocked him from advancing.

From those who looked outside it was like Elijah turned  into a massive black hole that devoured everyone before it slowed down. Realizing he would not break this wall so soon, Elijah could not accept and forced even more. The speed it devoured increased absurdly as even far away stars were attracted toward him. Smaller planets without any life were all devoured into Elijah's and it didn't stop increasing to the point the entire galaxy could be refined by him.

"AAAAHHHH!" Three runes appeared on his forehead, body, soul and energy. Those three runes together formed a strange synergy and mysterious force but this was not enough for him to condense the last one drop

"I'm so close, this chance won't be wasted. Ahhh! I don't care anymore, release all origins!" Without thinking, Elijah had lost rationality as he was blocked just one drop away and released everything.  ninety-nine runes appeared all over his body. Together his entire body was covered in runes as four pairs of golden-red wings spread out from his back. The trinity clock released a power thousands of times bigger than before as a giant rabbit with a similar pair of four golden-red wings appeared together with a three-headed horned dog.

The entire space vibrated as a energy above any celestial surged out of nowhere. In the center of the universe, a crystal heart radiated a light blue glow as it trembled with fear. It wanted to stop Elijah but it was too late. All the ninety nine runes melted into a single symbol () before light expanded and everything blew up in a big bang.
