"The cosmos is the power you must master in the future. Everything in this world is made of atoms, including flowers, trees, grass, rocks, stars, the Milky Way, and even the universe itself. Everything in the universe was born from the Big Bang and is made of atoms, so the essence of destruction is to smash atoms. The cosmos refers to the potential cosmic energy inside the human body, which is the source of all human power."
In a wide, snow-covered field, a dozen female instructors in black combat uniforms were slowly introducing the fundamental knowledge of the cosmos to the two hundred children in front of them. The children listened to the instructors with serious expressions.
"The power God has bestowed upon us is essentially the path to becoming a god. Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. When you awaken your cosmos, you will break through the limits of the human body and reach the sixth sense, which is beyond the five senses. If you want to awaken your cosmos, you will have to endure the brutal, low-temperature environment of this cruel ice field and use harsh training to temper your body and will, strengthening your physical and mental strength. When both reach their limits, you will realize the essence of power and awaken your cosmos—the power of destruction."
Boom!
The moment the instructor's voice fell, a terrifying force erupted from her body, and dark purple lightning bolts descended from the sky. She suddenly raised her fist and pointed it at the sky. The violent lightning struck her fist, and countless dark purple arcs burst out, sounding like the piercing screech of thousands of birds. Under this surge of power, the ground beneath their feet cracked in a large area, and a gust of wind swept through, blowing away the falling snow and wind and making the children feel like a small boat caught in a storm. They instinctively put their hands up to block their faces. There was no fear in their hearts, only fervent excitement, because they, too, wanted to master this power.
Soon, the raging energy was contained by the female instructor and slowly calmed down. The children looked at her with burning eyes. The other instructors behind her were also watching with the same intensity because they, too, were only one step away from awakening their cosmos. Only a thin layer of dark purple flames was visible on the surface of the instructor, but it contained a terrifying energy that made everyone tremble with fear.
"This is the cosmos. When you awaken it, you will no longer be mortal. Your lifespan and strength will far exceed those of humans. Your punching speed and movements will reach the speed of sound. Your body will become immune to diseases, viruses, radiation, and curses, and you will awaken extraordinary abilities."
After this demonstration, the female instructor contained her cosmos, parted her lips, and her voice carried on the wind and snow to everyone's ears. "Do you yearn for such power?"
"We do!" the children shouted enthusiastically in unison.
The female instructor's beautiful and indifferent face showed a cruel smile. "Very good. Welcome to the gates of hell."
"Why do you want me to tell a story about a devil in hell?"
In their home in a small town, after returning from a three-month family summer camp, Leon looked at the two little ones, who were eagerly waiting for him to tell a story, feeling a little curious. During the summer camp, the two kids had a blast with the family and the two big dogs. As soon as they got home, they rushed to him, begging for stories about hell and devils.
"I heard Perrone talking on the phone for a long time, saying she dreamed about a terrible devil."
Little Lily blinked her big eyes. She and Dean shivered together when she said the last part, and their little faces were filled with fear. However, Leon didn't hesitate to expose them. He poked his index finger on both of their noses. "You just want to scare Perrone, don't you?"
"Hmph! She tried to steal my brother. I saw her kiss my brother!" Lily wrinkled her nose and said matter-of-factly. No one can steal my brother, especially that bad teacher who kissed him!
It just so happened that Teacher Perrone was on the phone, and when she mentioned a devil, she sounded really scared. So why not take the chance to scare her back? The little girl couldn't come up with a good story herself, so she went to her brother for help. But he exposed her right away.
"You're going to scare the teacher? Aren't you afraid she'll get so scared she cries, and then Mom will teach you a lesson?" Leon pointed to his mother, Amy, who was in the kitchen, humming happily and looking younger and younger every day.
This made the two little ones tremble. Dean whistled, put his hands over his head, and pretended he didn't know anything, clearly deciding to give up the prank.
"I'm not afraid. Brother will protect Lily." Even though she was scared, Lily pretended to be calm and threw herself into Leon's arms with a flattering look.
"You two." Leon lovingly rubbed both of their heads. But he did pay a little attention to what his siblings said. During the summer camp, he and Perrone had many close encounters, but there was no "breakthrough." She had only kissed him. Even if he had his own needs, he wouldn't fool around in a family camp.
He had a pretty good impression of Perrone. While not a classic beauty, she was young, had good skin, was youthful and energetic, and was gentle and patient with children. It was human nature to appreciate beauty, in both appearance and character.
From the tone of the two little ones, the "devil" Perrone mentioned on the phone wasn't likely a baseless story. But he wasn't in a hurry. Leon knew that his current power was extremely exaggerated, especially after absorbing Athena's blood. His body and soul were infused with divinity, and the entire town benefited from it. At the very least, dark creatures like devils and demons wouldn't dare to invade the town. As long as the demon wasn't particularly powerful, it would be instantly incinerated by the sacred energy he had left in the area. If it wasn't Perrone who was affected, it was likely her friend or family.
He'd have Melina check it out. Now that he knew about it, it could be handled. This was a small matter that didn't require him to intervene. He had his own things to focus on.
