Infinite Potential System

Chapter 444 Mortal Descent

Before he did anything, William ran away from the city gates and dug a deep hole underground, hoping in vain to avoid the senses of anyone much more powerful than him. He asked Atticus to guard him once more, then used his Mana to descend into Reius.

Descending into the World was much more taxing than simply moving things around with his intent. It cost an incredible amount of Mana, nearly emptying William's Mana Reserves of now almost 32 million at a visible pace.

His main body was sitting completely still with absolutely no change to his stance, but something about the light in his eyes had changed, as if he was devoid of all emotion. At the same time, a double of him condensed in the Mortal Realms, promptly using the Seal Element to heavily restrict himself.

His Mana Reserves started filling up again at a slow rate, indicating that his Descent was complete.

William looked up to the sky, where a few dozen missiles could be seen from his current position. With a flick of his finger and a bit of Wind Magic, William sent the missiles high into the sky, then forcefully detonated them and used his Magic to conceal the blast.

Compared to a Cultivator, nuclear devices were nothing much. Even someone in the Nascent Soul Realm could handle a nuke by themselves.

He teleported to other sections of the World, destroying the nuclear missiles one group at a time until they were completely gone. Immediately following this, he returned to Shimmer City, where he had once lived with his sister and adopted family.

"Will! What are you doing here?" Fria asked with surprise. She was completely kitted up in what appeared to be some sort of high-tech battle uniform in pure white, while a crossbow was slung over her shoulder, a viable weapon for an Ice Magic user.

She had heard just about everything from William regarding his sudden disappearance, so Fria was under the impression that he couldn't return to Reius no matter what.

That said, the truth was right in front of her.

"It's a long story, but in short this World belongs to me now and I have full control over it." William explained as if it was a simple matter.

His sister turned wide-eyed at William's response, but he didn't want to confuse her further by explaining the intricate functions of World Seeds and the like. Instead, he stuck to the situation at hand, "What happened here?"

Fria nodded and did her best to explain the course of the last few months, how Mana suddenly appeared in Reius like William had planned and it spurred the growth of Cultivation.

"So weak." William scoffed at the feeble attempt by likely a Qi Refinement Cultivator to block his entrance. With another simple kick of the same strength, both the Earth Spell and doorway were destroyed in an instant, revealing a room mixed with obese and medium-build individuals that were pale as paper.

"Hi," William said with a smile, "You almost destroyed yourselves, do you know that?"

One of the men shook his head, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about that." William's smile turned cold as he called a hint of Fire Magic to his fingertips. "Answer my question or I'll go around the room with this."

"Ha! That fireball is tiny! How did you get in here with that?" one of the men shouted as he called his own Fire Mana, forming a fireball twice the size of William's in an instant.

It's a stupid one. Oh well, I guess he can go first.

"Didn't your mother tell you that size doesn't matter?" William sent a compressed bullet of fire through the man's head, piercing him through and through and causing his body to lifelessly fall to the floor.

-Killed a human of your own World: +5 PP, -1 Humanity

Damn it, this again. I guess I can't go crazy here. William cursed inwardly.

He released ten percent of his aura, waves of malice and killing intent forcing the remaining men in the room to the floor while some relieved themselves in their pants. When they became accustomed to William's aura a few minutes later, he suddenly doubled down and caused many to pass out.

Among those still conscious, William issued an order. "You will cooperate with the other nations to build a better society. You will focus on maintaining balance and preventing the Magical Beasts from overrunning the World, and you will not try to destroy yourselves at every possible turn.

Do these things, and you will be rewarded. Fail to do these things... and you'll see that my aura is not just for show."

William thought of something, "Also, leave my sister and family alone."
