The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Conquering Earth – 1
Holy energy surrounded Maria as her presence grew stronger and stronger, her spear held firmly in hand, before her figure burst forward, leaving behind trails of dark holy energy.

Her figure flashed like a white streak of light and struck another figure that was approaching with similar intensity, surrounded in a purplish streak of light.

As soon as they collided, waves of purple and white energy rippled out like shockwaves.

The figure cloaked in purplish energy was sent flying in the direction she had come from, crashing into a stone wall and creating a human-shaped hole upon impact.

“Oh God, that hurts like hell,” Shiru muttered, clutching her back as she breathed heavily.

The purple energy surrounding her faded, her body couldn’t handle any more and gave out, causing her to sink to the floor.

She slowly tried to catch her breath.

“Even though you’ve evolved, you still haven’t leveled up enough or trained enough, so I’m still much stronger than you,” the woman covered in white energy, Maria Augustine, grinned as she watched Shiru.

“As expected, Maria is still stronger than you, Shiru,” Damian muttered, rubbing his chin.

Maria was far stronger than Shiru in terms of power, physical attributes, and energy capacity.

She had already been stronger than Shiru even before they both evolved into High Humans.

When they evolved, their base power and physical capabilities increased significantly, but evolution only strengthens what’s already there, it doesn’t create strength from nothing.

If Shiru wanted to beat Maria, she would have to train a little harder. Maria had a head start because her base strength was already higher.

But for Shiru, it wasn’t impossible to catch up, her talents had evolved significantly.

All she needed was to train a bit more than Maria, and she would soon reach her level.

Damian was certain that the difference between the two in terms of cultivation talent wasn’t that wide.

In fact, with a little extra hard work, Shiru might even surpass Maria.

Maria landed in front of Shiru and helped her to her feet before looking back at their leader, as if waiting to see the impressed expression on the face of their progenitor.

The Progenitor, as the creator of the entire race, brought some unique and special effects to his people.

Damian, as the male human Progenitor, especially triggered some unique effects in the women of his race.

One of those effects, beyond being like gods and goddesses with authority over the concepts of beauty and charm, was that their Progenitor would be the most beautiful, if not the very definition of beauty itself for them.

Another effect was that the females of his race could never find a more suitable or compatible mate than him.

It was in their nature, as females of his race, to feel the instinctual need to procreate with Damian.

They felt this all the time, especially those who spent longer periods near him.

And this wasn’t limited to the human race alone, every female in the universe would find Damian the most compatible being for procreation, as long as the other Progenitors hadn’t yet appeared.

So you could imagine the kind of attraction Shiru, Maria, her seven adopted sisters, Elfie, Yuki Nonaka, Ana Sánchez and even Cara, who already had a husband felt.

Even Cara couldn’t help but feel like she should just leave her partner and give herself to their Progenitor.

This feeling was dangerously strong.

Damian, as the Progenitor of humans, was very well aware of the effects he had on women.

But there was no way in hell he was going to act on them.

Damian had his own preferences when it came to women.

He had his own taste and type.

So far, only a few women had fit his taste: Maria, the common Elfie, and the woman with a gun he fought during the 3rd-place power ranking battles.

Maria… she was out of the question.

She was a nun.

Damian wouldn’t interfere with her beliefs.

And the woman he fought for 3rd place, he hadn’t seen her again after that, so that was also a question mark.

That only left Elfie…

Elfie was a woman with strong willpower, a fiery fighting spirit, and the ability to take care of herself, all that mixed with elven beauty.

Damian really wanted her to become his woman, but he couldn’t force her.

“Well, baby steps… It’s not like she’s going anywhere. After all, she can’t leave my faction as far as the contract goes. Speaking of Elfie, should I also turn her and her brother into High Humans? I should talk to her about it,” Damian wondered in his mind as he observed Maria before standing up from the bleachers.

As soon as he stood up, all of Maria, her seven adopted sisters, and Shiru Holding came forward toward him.

Then, as if responding to the summoning of their progenitor, Noah Ravenfang, Cara Ravenfang, Eric Walcrown, Pietro Grimaldi, David Harris, Yuki Nonaka, and Ana Sánchez appeared.

Standing in front of Damian were all sixteen High Humans, awaiting the orders of the Human Progenitors.

“I hope you guys have gotten used to your newfound powers?” Damian casually asked, and the High Humans nodded in response.

“Well then, shall we start our plan?” Damian grinned before pointing his hand toward them.

A big drop of his blood manifested from his palm and began to separate until seven drops of blood remained.

Damian waved his hand.

Seventy glass vials appeared, and each drop of blood entered into the vials.

With another wave of his hand, ten of the vials went toward Maria, another ten to the couple Noah and Cara, another ten to Eric Walcrown, another ten to Pietro Grimaldi, another ten to David Harris, another ten to Yuki Nonaka, and the final ten to Ana Sánchez, landing in their hands.

“I want you, the eight nuns, to go around the First Tower Realm and make every single human become part of our faction. And of course, as High Humans, you can turn ordinary humans into Superior Humans, so turn every single human into a Superior Human and make sure to have them sign the contract with the conditions I have sent you,” Damian said casually.

“…My lord… D-Do you really want us to turn every single human into Superior Humans…?”

Ana Sánchez, the High Human with short brown hair, obviously a beauty surpassing all ordinary humans, asked with a confused expression on her face.

“Yes… In fact, I’m planning on turning the entire human race on Earth into Superior Humans… So, can you do it? How much do you need to accomplish this?” Damian asked, sweeping his eyes over his High Humans.

The High Humans looked at each other as if silently communicating and in fact, they were.

High Humans have the racial ability of [Telepathy], which grants them two-way communication between High Humans and one-way communication with other beings using their minds.

In the last three days, the High Humans had become very familiar with each other under the suggestion of their progenitor.

After all, they were going to be fighting alongside each other from now on for the will of their progenitor.

The High Humans who were originally from the world of Earth were already pretty familiar with one another.

After all, they were some of the strongest humans on Earth, so naturally, they had heard about each other before.

It wasn’t that hard to become acquainted.

After communicating with each other for a few seconds, the High Humans said,

“Three hours… three hours is enough, my lord.”

Damian could not help but grin before a single command escaped his mouth.

“Do it.”

As soon as the command was issued, the figures of the High Humans disappeared from their spots, leaving just Shiru and Damian behind.

“My king, why didn’t you want me to go with them?” Shiru respectfully asked.

“That’s because I’m taking you to Earth as my companion. I want someone to talk to… and another thing, which I’m sure you’ll understand when you see it yourself,” Damian grinned mischievously, unknowingly making Shiru nervous.

“Let’s go to Earth,” Damian said, as his and Shiru’s figures disappeared and appeared on a lonely planet known as Earth.

Damian and Shiru appeared out of nothingness, standing atop one of the tallest buildings on Earth, looking down at the broken-down buildings and millions of humans going about their lives.

“So this is the world where King was from,” Shiru muttered, looking down.

“Well, I’m pretty sure this is the world I only grew up in, not my own world,” Damian said, rubbing his chin.

“You are not from Earth, my king?” Shiru asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Let’s not talk about that,” Damian said, as his body began to release a bluish aura mixed with a golden energy.

His entire presence shifted, his essence as the progenitor of humans became the most prominent, blending with his presence as the High Demon, High Fallen Angel, and all the other energies inside him.

Even Shiru felt the magnitude of his presence, making her choke, unable to breathe.

Damian waved his finger, and Shiru was levitated a kilometer away from him in a flash.

Damian’s figure lifted from the building and moved toward the center of the city he was in.
