Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 1657: First Floor cleared

Chapter 1657: First Floor cleared

Once the left shoulder of the police man was gone, the rest became easy.

Sam just bombarded the opponent with dozens of bullets and managed to defeat him. The police officer looked at Sam with the same anger.

For some reason, Sam felt that this anger is actually not similar to the anger of other creatures that he fought, whether they are humans or not, most of their rage is instinctual. Their anger is not sane or controlled.

It is pure resentment that they had towards Sam. But in case of this policeman, he appeared a lot more sane. A bit clearheaded. This is also a bit confusing to him.

Sam didn't know what is going on with it, but he looked forward to digging deeper and know the reason behind it.

He aimed the gun at the police man's head and spoke.

"I don't know where we came across. I certainly don't remember ever killing you. But I do hope that I know why I killed you. Your skills are impressive."

Muttering to himself, he pulled the trigger.

*BOOM*

The corruption energy entered Sam and all of a sudden, the whole area started glowing. The glow pa.s.sed away pretty quickly though. Now the black energy in the whole area went down. The area became a bit normal and natural in color and aura.

Sam was also s.h.i.+fted to the pillar without any prompt whatsoever. He could feel the corrupt energy get into his whole body.

He didn't suppress it now, instead he put his hand on the pillar and the black corrupt energy started spreading into the pillar. Even the energy sphere that formed in his abdomen also did the same.

At least that is what he thought, but the next moment he noticed something else. The energy is not completely going into the pillar. Only the corruption part of it and the sin part of it is going there. It is as if the remaining energy is filtered from the corruption and sin.

The filtered energy is being absorbed by Sam's body pa.s.sively without him doing anything at all.

The groove on the pillar started raising a bit.

While this is happening in Sam's body, something else happened in his mind, which he wouldn't have predicted in a thousand years.

He started seeing the memories of the people and the creatures he just finished off. Not all of their memories before they died, rather just the memory of their resentment toward him.

Most of the time, Sam was not surprised with the memories that flashed in his head.

What he looked forward to and what surprised him were the memories of the animals. The answer was simple though, the resentment from the chickens came because, Sam killed them. To eat. The resentment from the rats is because of the lab experiments he has conducted on them.

Which is also kind of justifiable.

As for their extreme powers, Sam got sort of 'answer' from the h.e.l.l when he thought about it with his hand against the pillar. It is just an external thought that popped in his mind.

The powers of the dead creatures that appear in these h.e.l.l towers, depend on how they died and what the final thoughts they had in their minds, when they died.

The powers of those rats are because of some mutations they went through when Sam tested them in different ways, the powers of the middle-aged s.e.xual predator couple are from the poison they ingested through their mouths.

The powers of the chickens are the funniest ones. They got those powers, because they wished that they could fly away when they were being caught and they wished they could slice the people up just like how they were being sliced. The combination led to the creation of these wind blades.

He couldn't help but chuckle at this.

He knew that this is a serious issue and he can imagine what other weird powers these creatures are going to get, but he couldn't help himself.

Finally, his thoughts landed on one person he is curious about.

The Police officer.

As soon as he noticed those thoughts, he was shocked. Now he finally recognized who this police officer is.

He never saw his face in the past life, but he is one police officer that Sam had his hopes when he was being trafficked out of India. He has never seen his face and he barely remembered his name. But he was famous at that time.

He had a reputation of not letting any bad practice go on within his jurisdiction and Sam with great difficulty sent a message to this person when he was just eight years old.

Right when he was being sold out by his art teacher to people from the organization he was part of.

And the cause of this resentment baffled him.

The police officer held such resentment against Sam because, the one complaint Sam gave ruined his life. It turned it upside down.

Because of the secret hidden complaint, the police officer apparently went on to investigate the traffickers, but the organization is way too big and way too powerful for one officer to do anything.

His superiors who were on the payroll of the traffickers ratted him out. His family died, he was framed and then he was taken out by his own peers. All the gun shot wounds came from his colleagues only.

In this whole process, he wished that he never got that complaint. He resented the person that gave him that complaint and of course that is Sam.

Sam couldn't wrap his head around this logic. He was just an eight year old boy. All he did was write a letter and send it to the police station, in hopes that he would be saved.

But the police officer started resenting that very boy who he should have saved when things went too far against his family.

The worst part is, the officer who was daring and bold, didn't even have guts to hate the perpetrators themselves by the time they were done with him.

Sam was disappointed to say the least. Of course, there is also confusion and bewilderment along with it.

But disappointment was what clouded him for a short while.

After he shook those feelings off for a moment, he finally started contemplating. He officially cleared the first floor after almost a week of efforts. Now, he needs to absorb all the information he could get here and move to the next floor with prepared mindset.

Some things, he is completely sure of, like with every pa.s.sing floor, he is going to get stronger, which is the most obvious one.

There is no fixed pattern for the people and creatures that he might encounter in each floor. They are not coming chronologically. Because there are some people that he encountered on the first that belonged to the time when he became a teenage a.s.sa.s.sin, there are also some people that he came across when became much older.

So, the amount of suffering they have gone through might be one of the factors that decided what floor they would be on. But he cannot fathom a chicken suffering the same level as the police officer who was emotionally and physically tortured before being killed.

Then came his third speculation and this is something that he is not really sure of.

He can explain this in two ways. First one is that there is a range of suffering within which the first floor falls under and within that range, the lowest will gain smaller power and the highest will gain larger power.

The second method is that there is a possibility that the animals that he has eaten or experimented on, might be cl.u.s.tered together and placed here based on the collective suffering. Of course even in this case the range exists.

He needs to check more floors before he can come to any conclusion of course.

There are a few more things, Sam started thinking about and one of them is the strength of the creatures.

No matter, whether they are people or rats and chickens, they are unbelievably strong. They are way too strong to the point that Sam would have to constantly unleash his full-powered attacks if he has to get rid of them by himself without using any of his inventions.

Even in the case of the other players who are his peers, he cannot imagine them being able to defeat their counterparts without using Blood arts.

And even if the first floor is that difficult, he cannot imagine how drastic the change would be when he goes to the second floor.

Then he finally started noting down something regarding the corruption. Within this first floor, he went through quite a few phases with the corruption affecting his body. One phase is being within a completely controllable limit.

Then it became uncontrollable, making him experience extreme pain, then the suppressed state, and finally the relieved state. Based on this, he made quite a few observations.
