?


    Hikaru smiled and said: "Then... drink this..."


    He said as he took out a small test tube containing a blue liquid and gave it to Painko.


    Painko looked a bit confused when he saw the test tube, but he still reached out and received it from Hikaru.


    "This is…" Painko asked in confusion.


    "It''s a medicine…" Hikaru exined: "It can help you be stronger, however, you will need to go through terrible pain."


    "If you can''t make it through the pain, you will… die."


    When Painko heard this he gulped, frowned then clenched his teeth. He did not answer Hikaru but immediately opened the cap of the test tube in his hand, then drank the entire thing.


    Hikaru didn''t stop him but he silently stood and watched him.


    ''If you can ovee this terrible pain, you will be my pawn...''


    Hikaru thought to himself. Through the ''event information'', he learned Painko''s true identity.


    In fact, this fat guy''s real name was Kiin, he was really a useless person, as he only stayed at home and lived off his parents'' allowance.


    Of course, he also had a dream, which is to be the main character in a fantasy novel like in an anime or manga.


    However, reality was cruel, although he obtained extremely powerful super powers, in the end he could only be a stepping stone for the main character.


    Moreover his woman did not love him as she secretly slept with the main character.


    The main character did not feel that there was anything shameful with what his woman did; on the contrary, he felt that Kiin was the one at fault.


    Anyway, that is how a main character usually thinks, anyway Hikaru did not care about who was right or wrong.


    At this moment, he just stared at Kiin, and hoped he could sessfully evolve.


    If he sessfully evolves, then... in the future, Rayze will have an extremely powerful opponent.


    After drinking the evolution potion, Kiin felt like his body was as hot as an ember, no, to be more precise, he felt like he was being cooked.


    "AAA!!!" Kiin screamed, his scream filled with pain and despair.


    Kiin felt like his body was being torn into pieces at this moment, the pain stimted his brain making him cry like a child.


    He writhed for more than 10 minutes, whichsted longer than Hikaru expected.


    Seeing Kiin in pain like this, Hikaru was not surprised. After all, previously, when Hikaru used the evolution medicine, he also felt terrible pain.


    Kiin''s body was even more pathetic than Hikaru''s pre-evolution body. Therefore, the pain that Kiin is enduring will be much greater than the pain that he endured.


    After 10 minutes, Kiiny on the ground, he was relieved that the pain had passed. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just had a trip to hell, then returned to the human world.


    Suddenly, Kiin felt that he was easily breathing. He had never breath this easily before.


    There seemed to be a huge source of energy in his body that made him feel that even if he ran 10 kilometers he would not feel tired.


    It must be known that, before he evolved even walking 1 kilometer would make him so tired that he would faint.


    But now it was different…


    Kiin sat up, and examined his body. He noticed that the fat on his body had disappeared, and was reced by extremely strong muscles.


    Even his big belly has disappeared, reced by the six-pack abs he once dreamed of.


    However, on his body there was ayer of ck mucus like mud, and it was extremely stinky. The smell emnatimg from it was simr to the smell of a dead mouse and rotten eggs, and this made Kiin nauseous.


    "Those are the toxins and excess fat in your body that have been thrown out." Hikaru suddenly spoke: "How does your new body feel?"


    Hearing that, Kiin stood up and tried swinging his fist a few times. Hearing the sound of wind whistling from his fist, Kiin was so happy that it was hard for him to describeit: "Wonderful... so wonderful..."


    Immediately after that, Kiin knelt on the ground: "Thank you, even though I don''t know who you are, you gave me a chance to live again."


    "Even if you tell me to jump into a sea of fire, I will do as you say without any resistance."


    Hikaru nodded and said: "I don''t need you to jump into the sea of fire, I helped you so you can serve me, understand."


    "Understand! I understand." Kiin said quickly.


    After that, Hikaru took out an egg, which was the egg on the rock earlier.


    "This is the egg of the "Burial Catfish", a monster that can control gravity."


    "The person who wanted to kill you just now was Rayze. He knew that in the future, you would possess the ability to control gravity. That''s why he wanted to steal this egg and kill you."


    Kiin was startled when he heard that: "Control gravity... in the future... kill me..."


    He slowlypiled the information he knew,bined with the experiences he had read about in manga, he immediately realized what was going on.


    "Master…" Kiin immediately bowed his head and said: "I know… I am just a useless person, but you have given me the opportunity to change my destiny."


    "That''s why, you are my master. Give me orders, and I will carry out your orders at all costs."


    Hikaru smiled: "Hahaha… you don''t need to carry out any orders for now."


    "First, you must eat this egg to possess that ability. Even though you have evolved, right now, you cannot defeat Rayze."


    "Go to shopping mall D, take charge of the ce, and continue waiting for my next orders."


    Having finished speaking, Hikaru did not wait for Rayze to answer as he turned around to take his leave.


    "Wait!" After Kiin received the egg from Hikaru, he immediately spoke up: "Excuse me… if… may I know your name, master."


    "Just call me Gody."


    Hikaru went to the cave entrance, where there was arge stone ced there by him.


    He ced his hand on the rock, then used a little force to gently push the rock away.


    That rock, like it was made of paper, was pushed away by Hikaru''s hand.


    Kiin was startled when he saw the scene in front of him. However, recalling that this was the person who helped him be stronger, he felt that it was certainly normal for that person to possess god-like power.


    Hikaru disappeared into the snowy night. Kiin sat in the cave, and stared at the torch ced in the middle of the cave, as many thoughts appeared in his heart.


    Kiin no longer felt like he was freezing to death before although the cold still affected him it was still within his tolerance limit.


    "This is amazing …" Kiin said silently: "My strength has increased significantly, as has my endurance. Sigh, maybe I should find a ce to shower first, then…"


    He looked at the egg in his hand, and thought about what Hikaru had said.


    "The superpower to control gravity… I will definitely have that super power."


    "Rayze, in the future, you are my enemy. Although you came back to the past, I also have someone to help me."


    "Rayze… I swear… I will kill you, and make you kneel before me."


    …


    Outside, Hikaru moved through the forest but no one saw him thanks to the Haunted Cloak''s stealth skill.


    Rika suddenly spoke: [Master, why didn''t you eat that egg, why did you give it to Kiin?]


    "Because that egg is useless to me. Besides... after eating that egg, whether I can possess super powers or not is still a mystery."


    "So… I think it makes the most sense to leave it to Kiin. After bing an evolved person, Kiin can more easily receive the super power to control gravity."


    "And of course, he can also develop that superpower faster than his previous self in Rayze''s timeline."


    "It makes the most sense for him and Rayze to fight each other."


    [Ah! That sounds great… but, Master, you have other ns, right?]


    Hikaru heard Rika''s words and smiled coldly: "Yes, I look forward to Kiin''s future."


    [Are you looking for Rayze?]


    "That''s right."


    [Ah! Do you think he''s still alive?]


    "Of course. If he died that easily, he wouldn''t be a main character."


    Hikaru moved through the forest for more than 20 minutes before he Found Rayze lying on the ground.


    At this time, Rayze''s body was covered in snow. Although the explosion was veryrge and terrible, it was still a pressurised explosion, without fire.


    That''s why snow quickly covered the entire ce. But thanks to Hikaru''s infrared sses, he still easily found Rayze.


    [Are you going to kill him?]


    "Hahaha… if I could kill him, I would have done it a long time ago."


    "Even though he is lying motionless in front of me now, however, I think that if I wanted to kill him, something would definitely happen."


    "Besides… I have no intention of killing him."


    After Hikaru finished speaking, he approached Razye and checked his body once.


    "Here you are…"


    He took out from Rayze''s pocket a small hexagonal piece of metal the size of a hand. There were many strange characters engraved on it, but Hikaru didn''t know what they are.


    However, upon seeing this piece of metal, Hikaru smiled with satisfaction.


    He immediately put that piece of metal into the Panara Space, then went deeper into the forest.


    As soon as Hikaru left, the Burial Catfish appeared in the air, where Rayze was lying.


    It looked down at Rayze, opened its mouth again, and a pressure ball appeared in its mouth.


    While Rayze''s life was in danger, something strange happened.


    The burial Catfish seemed to sense something, it turned its head to look into the distance, where there was a sea.


    It stared at the sea for a long time, then flew in that direction, disappearing into the darkness.


    Rayze had no idea that he had once again escaped death thanks to his main character''s aura.


    Hikaru of course didn''t care about that because he knew Rayze would definitely live for some reason.


    At this moment, Hikaru arrived at the center of the explosion, he searched for a long time,then discovered Rayze''s two daggers.


    That''s right, when Rayze''s life was in danger, he threw these two daggers to block the Burial Catfish''s pressure ball.


    Hikaru held those two daggers in his hand, and felt that this weapon was more suitable for him than the axe.


    "Found you… Curse dagger."
