Chapter 477 - Outclassed

Pride decided to give Rudra a shot , just a slither of a chance to survive. Spreading his hands wide , he said " Come , attack me with THE BEST move you have in your arsenal , and if you can inflict even slightest of damage to me , i will let you leave with your life intact.

Pride had decided that Rudra was someone who was a worthy opponent. Hence decided that his opponent should be given a chance to survive.

However never in his wildest dreams would pride have thought that , Rudra would counter his proposal .... As Rudra said " What if i give you a better deal , if you are a REAL man , you and i will fight and if I can inflict 20% damage on you , i get to take away the human prisoner of yours ".

Pride thought he had heard wrong for a second , after which he bursted laughing , the situation was hilarious for him , however the line of if he were a real man instigated the sin inside him.

Although Lucifer's orders were absolute , he could not bring himself to refuse it and accept that he was not a real man.

As pride instead through gritted teeth said " Fine , I THE SIN OF PRIDE AM A REAL MAN! , Soo now come ".

Rudra wasted no time as he knew that with his petty power level , trying to face this guy head on he would not even last a single breath , as he activated the shadow Doppleganger move replicating into 9 identical illusions , while the real one had long used blink to reach the high sky , exactly above pride.

The illusions all circled in towards pride , as he just looked at them all in contempt , raising a single finger to reduce them all to dust , as he patiently waited for Rudra to do his best.

Rudra who was in the air , knew that there was no sun inside hell , hence the charge he had left in the sun god's bracelet was IT.

Barely enough for 2 solar beams , the only peak tier 4 move in his arsenal , something that Rudra betted on to damage pride.

Wearing the stabilizer arm made by the dwarves , Rudra took his best shot mid air , as a devastating solar beam headed towards pride at blinding speeds.

'" GOTCHA ! " Exclaimed Rudra , he was sure it would connect , as from the distance he shooted it at , there was no time for pride to evade.

However everything came to a still stop for Rudra as Pride calmly looked into his eyes , as he stopped Solar Beam with a single finger.

One arm around his back , pride was holding down Rudra's TOP move , with one finger as there was not even a sign of exertion on his face , his eyes mocking Rudra at the futility of his abilities. It was only now that Rudra realized that should he have taken the first offer by pride he would have been dead by now. There was no fighting this monster at his power level .... He was absolutely done for.

Pride casually flicked his finger in the end , assmall portion of the solar beam was redirected towards the sky , seemingly dissapearing as a streak of bright light.

Rudra crashed onto the ground , as he stumbled to his knees as Pride looked down on him , asking " Is that the best you have got? ".

Pride was annoyed now , he hated people like Rudra the most , who were all talk and no show. As he contemplated the sorry end of Rudra Rajput's gaming career for once and for all.

( Meanwhile in the cuber corporation HQ)

There was an emergency meeting in the headquarters and it was one of the rare ones not caused by the absurd phenomenon called Rudra Rajput .

It was caused because the fifth human had crossed into the cultivator ranks . 4 breakthroughs had taken place over all the continents in a span of 26 hours and the cuber officials were rushing to different parts of the real world to contain the knowledge of cultivation.

Official one said " This is the fifth one , the progress of the players is much faster than we expected . We may need to start phase 5 early ... "

Official two said " We definitely need to start phase five , if the world comes to realize that we are not alone , that the earth is not what it seems to be , it will be Pandemonium ".

Official three said " But it's just too early , the fighting instincts suppressed by 300 years of peace and 600 years of society has made the warrior mentality run cold in the corporate man , people need more time to adapt! ".

Official two countered " BUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE AWAKENING , what happens when the secret leaks out? "

Bickering ensued in the hall , as grown men fought over the fate of humanity. Finally the leader of the cuber corporation said " Silence! Now ! "

The hall quietened down , as the leader rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

He said " Gaia , how much time does earth have as a planet ".

Gaia replied " Estimated time left 4 years 6 months 7 days ".

The leader asked again " When was the ideal time to enact phase five "

Gaia replied " initial estimates had phase 5 planned from 1 year 6 months and 7 daysfrom now ".

The room was drowned in silence , as everyone understood the peril of the situation they were in . Things beyond their means were happening , and the only way to silence the noise was to cut it from the root , but the cuber corporation did not want to kill humanity's brightest.

Hence after thinking for hard and long the leader said " Gaia , make them all sign a non disclosure in game or threaten to erase their character. Those that sign the NDA can live , those that do not will have to die for the peace of humanity.

Also Gaia re-schedule the date for phase five one year seven days from now , bringing it back by 6 months , as I assume that we should get 100 cultivators by the end of this year ....
