Just when Jason was raising the level of [Flash Technique], these words suddenly came to his ears.
And the next moment, the scenery in front of him changed.
The surroundings became dark and deep.
He raised his hand, completely unable to see his fingers.
Jason frowned, and at this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared above his head.
Along with it appeared a series of upward stairs.
Jason stepped forward.
puff!
When the soles of his feet reached the first step, a sudden pain came from the soles of his feet. When Jason lowered his head, he saw an iron nail piercing the sole of his foot.
Complete penetration.
It was dripping with blood, with a trace of flesh and blood.
as well as……
pain!
I don't know how long it had been, but Jason hadn't felt pain so clearly.
He wasn't ignoring the pain.
It's not like I'm numb.
I'm just getting used to all kinds of pain.
And now?
It's like that habit disappeared all of a sudden.
The pain instinct made Jason want to pull his foot back, but in fact, he also stepped up with the other foot.
puff!
The other foot was also punctured.
"Hahaha, I succeeded!"
"I succeeded too!"
"We all made it!"
Cheers suddenly rang out from all around him. Jason looked to the left and right. At some point, many people appeared. Like him, their feet were pierced by long iron nails, but they raised their hands high and enjoyed the cheers.
Flowers bloomed all around them.
The praises are endless.
"Have they all gained 'supernatural powers'?"
"yes!"
"After experiencing the 'baptism of the mysterious side', they are already different!"
"They're big shots!"
"They are beyond our reach!"
Amidst the praise, these people became more and more proud.
Some people feel arrogantly that they are not ordinary people.
Some appear indifferent, but in fact they are pretentious.
Either way, they start to feel superior.
They used this 'baptism' to get what they wanted, even if their feet were dripping with blood.
After Jason glanced at these people, he continued upward.
Even if these people kept calling him from behind.
"bring it on!"
“Let’s enjoy it together!”
"This is what you deserve!"
Faced with such words, Jason simply ignored them.
enjoy?
How does he qualify to enjoy it?
He has just gained a little bit of self-protection power, is he about to enjoy it?
That would definitely be the worst outcome.
He didn't want to face that outcome.
So, Jason moved on.
Poof, poof!
With every step he took, the soles of his feet would be pierced by iron nails, and soon, Jason's soles became riddled with holes.
However, Jason is not alone.
There were three other people beside him.
A young man.
A middle-aged man.
An old man.
Young people, full of energy.
Middle-aged, steady and down-to-earth.
Old people are tireless.
"[Flash Technique] must have some secret. Others have not discovered it, but they are too stupid, but I am different! With my outstanding talent, I will definitely be able to discover the secret!"
The young man said this.
“Keep moving forward and you’ll always find something to discover!”
"Maybe it's better to stop now, but exploring the unknown is even more fascinating!"
Middle-aged people cheer themselves up.
Elderly people?
Didn't say anything, just smiled.
Compared to Jason, a young and middle-aged man, his body is weaker and he needs to save energy every moment.
Only in this way can we go further.
The four of them walked forward together.
One step, two steps.
After only walking ten steps, Jason felt the soles of his feet feel hot.
There is no flame.
However, Jason felt that the soles of his feet were being burned.
The blood on the soles of the feet, which were dripping with blood and riddled with holes, immediately rose into mist, and the aroma of barbecue came straight from it.
"Ahhh!"
"It burned me to death!"
"I'm not going forward!"
“It’s so hard!”
"Many of those who experienced the 'mysterious baptism' with me and were originally inferior to me have already surpassed me. I can no longer waste energy on such things. I have to catch up with them, otherwise... I
Nothing will be accomplished!”
The young man kept crying out in pain, making excuses for himself, and stayed where he was.
"Ignore the words and the ridicule."
"They are useless!"
Middle-aged people encourage young people and hope that young people will join them.
However, the young man shook his head and refused.
The middle-aged man could only sigh and continue walking upward.
Gradually, Jason felt pain on his skin.
Around the dark stairs, thorns appeared at some point. They were scattered all over the entire stairs. Each one was extremely sharp and each one was as long as a little finger. Whenever someone walked by, there would be thorns on their body.
Strips of flesh and blood were scraped off.
Jason, a middle-aged and elderly man, seemed to be suffering the torture of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
After a while, the three people's bodies had dozens of scars that were deep enough to show the bones.
"Ahhh!"
"I can not stand it any more!"
"This is all useless work!"
The middle-aged man who had been persuading the young people just now also stopped.
Moreover, he also kindly persuaded Jason and the elderly.
"Don't go up!"
"That beam of light has always been hazy, and I can't see clearly at all!"
"Maybe it's an illusion!"
Jason and the old man turned a deaf ear and continued to move forward.
Punctures and burning at the feet.
The body was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
The dissuasion and ridicule that came from time to time did not hinder the two people's progress.
Finally, the light became clear.
Jason and the seniors alike have seen the change.
Joy appeared on the old man's face.
Involuntarily, he increased his speed.
Then……
He fell.
The steps, which were originally covered with iron nails and filled with scorching heat, turned into a slope covered with ice.
"No!"
The old man shouted loudly and slipped away so quickly.
After a second or two, the old man disappeared.
And Jason?
The whole body clings to the slope,
Then, it moved upward bit by bit.
The further up you go, the steeper the slope becomes.
The higher you go, the harder it is to borrow power.
There are more and more scars on the body, and the temperature under the body is getting colder and colder.
But Jason didn't care.
A will stronger than steel supported him to move forward.
As for retreating?
He won't.
He didn't want to feel that incompetent choice again.
He no longer wants to be the one given a choice by others.
He needs to take the initiative.
He wants to become a person who can make free choices.
"ah!"
Jason let out a low roar, raised his hand and pressed it hard on the slope above his head, letting the bloody palm and the low-temperature slope freeze, increasing the friction resistance, and then raised the other frozen palm and pressed towards
Higher up.
Stab!
Frozen flesh and blood was torn apart.
again and again.
Later, there was no flesh and blood left on Jason's palm.
It's just bones and ice.
But Jason continued.
He still has elbows and knees that can be used.
Step by step.
Jason moved on.
And the ridicule and sarcasm in his ears became even louder.
"What are you still insisting on?"
"Obviously there is no end!"
"yes!"
"give up!"
"You've done well enough now!"
"You have performed a miracle!"
"Stop now, who can say anything to you?"
…
Jason's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head and looked to both sides.
In the darkness, no one could be seen speaking.
What there is is just deep darkness.
And those thorns.
call!
Jason took a deep breath.
Then, he shouted word for word——
"Shut up, if you make any more noise, I'll eat you!"
Jason looked serious, obviously not joking.
And after shouting like this, the ridicule and sarcasm suddenly disappeared.
Jason can step forward with peace of mind.
It would be the same even if there were huge rocks falling from the top, the temperature of the slope was getting lower and lower, and his torso would be frozen.
Finally, when Jason raised his hand again, he came up empty.
No!
To be precise, I touched a platform.
Jason looked up.
He saw the light.
The light is so close!
Jason turned over and arrived on the stage.
That beam of light dispersed the surrounding darkness.
Jason's injuries are recovering visibly.
He stood up.
A voice came from the beam——
"Do you believe in light?"
Jason shook his head.
"No!"
"I believe in myself!"
"because……"
Jason answered seriously.
But before Jason could finish speaking, the light beam in front of him began to shake rapidly and began to collapse inward.
The surrounding jeers and jeers sounded again.
"Wrong answer!"
"Wrong answer!"
"So what if we reach the top?"
"Not a loser yet?"
…
Jason glanced coldly at the voice that he could not lock, and his eyes returned to the 'light' that was about to go out again, and continued with an unprecedented solemn taste -
"I am my own 'light'!"
The dying light stopped.
Immediately afterwards, it quickly became brighter.
In an instant...
Brilliant!
[Consume 1000 points of satiety, 100 points of excitement from eating, 20 points of pleasure from eating, and 1 point of satisfaction from eating to upgrade the Flash Technique to an extraordinary level!]
[The existence of ‘Flash Technique’ is unique, the judgment begins...]
【Judgment passed!】
['Flash Technique' promotion!]
[The Flash Technique is promoted to Extraordinary! The only attribute begins!]
[The only one promoted by the flash technique: the owner of light!]
[Owner of Light: You are the 'light' of this world, and you will own everything in light! At the same time, you are also the only one, and you have opened up your own myth! Effects: 1. Career creation; 2. Career feedback; 3.

…
【Yes/No Create your own 'career'?】
Jason looked at this option and didn't give an answer right away.
He squinted his eyes slightly, feeling his body at this moment.
Better than ever!
Although his attributes did not change at all, when the [Owner of Light] appeared, Jason could clearly feel that the light in this world was obeying his orders.
He can turn into light.
Light can also be controlled.
The simplest thing is-
boom!
The 'Shepherd', who has been sucked tightly by the [Black Behemoth], is trying his best to get rid of this monster.
However, as time goes by.
The suction force is getting stronger and stronger.
However, he still has a backup plan.
Just when he was about to use this backhand, he suddenly saw a flash of light.
A fleeting light.
Then, when he came back to his senses, he suddenly discovered that his huge body had been cut open.
Along with the ripples.
The entire sky shrouded in ripples seemed to be divided into two by a lightsaber.
what happened?
The 'shepherd' was shocked, and then he looked at the person made of 'light' in front of him in horror.
Yes, Jason.
"you you……"
"The source point was found!"
"How can this be!"
'Shepherd' roared in disbelief.
Isn’t he planning for so many years just for the ‘source point’?
But every time, the success falls short.
Either someone blocked me or I was just unlucky.
However, this did not discourage the 'shepherd'.
Because he knows that failure is the mother of success, and as long as he continues, he will succeed one day.
However, he couldn't think of it anyway.
Jason actually succeeded!
Why?
Why?
He tried countless times without success, so why did a person who was just a pawn by him succeed?
Moreover, it was a success right the first time!
Jason looked at the incredulous 'shepherd' and sighed slightly.
"Don't you understand yet?"
The understatement made the 'shepherd' tremble all over.
Obviously, a person as smart as the other party guessed something in an instant.
However, I guessed it.
The ‘shepherd’ was unwilling to believe such speculation.
"Liar!"
"You're lying to me!"
The 'Shepherd' roared angrily and was about to attack again.
Jason shook his head.
You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
What's more, the relationship between the two parties means that he has no such obligation.
Jason raised his hand.
The brilliance flashes.
The 'Shepherd', which was already divided into two, was immediately cut into millions of parts. After pinching a fingertip-sized piece of meat, Jason was still devoured by the black giant beast with the remaining parts.
[The beast that eats incomplete desires (fragments)]
[Excessive recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Satiety +10000]
【Satiety: 54781】
[Excitement of eating +100]
【The Excitement of Food:1980】
[All attributes +1]
…
The dark giant beast and him are two sides of the same coin.
Whatever he eats is naturally equivalent to being eaten by him.
After swallowing the [Beast of Incomplete Desire (Fragment)], the dark giant roared with satisfaction and disappeared.
Jason dodged back to the ground.
Everyone was stunned, Tanier managed to stand up and asked tentatively.
