Heavenly Opposers

"You would like to join the cosmic games?"

"Yes."

Xiao nodded at the vampire woman, who began to type on the screen in front of her.

"Would you be starting now?"

"No, I want to book my flight vault."

"Okay."

Her response now lost her enthusiasm. Well, it was normal since Xiao said that he wasn't planning on fighting now. He's not that crazy. If he started to fight in the comic games now, he would die without knowing how. Of course, when you lose your game, you won't really die; you will just get a part of your soul cut off.

Which is greater than just dying. Losing a part of your soul means you are losing your talents, and to cultivators, that itself is a death sentence and no one can avoid it. A dweller node combines with one's soul, so there's no going back. What Xiao wants to do now is lay the base for what he will do in the future.

"Are you also joining the Talent ranking?"

"Yes, I am under 100."

"Then please fill in this information."

Saying so, the woman swiped her hand, causing a screen to appear in front of Xiao. He read through each line with care, even having All-Seer look into it.

'All good?'

[Yes.]

Getting the affirmative, he finally placed his soul sign as the contract burst into light, a part of it entering his body while the other part flew to the top, disappearing far ahead.

"Sir, everything is ready. Here is your fighter card. Hope you survive."

The woman then handed Xiao a card he was familiar with. Holding it, a sense of nostalgia flashed, but he didn't let it overwhelm him. Holding the card, he gave a nod to the woman, thanking her as he started to walk away. The card he was holding was different from the one he had, courtesy of the fact that he joined at this city.

'Life is always a competition but now I just have to wait to be contracted.'

Soon, he stored the card in his inventory, with his cultivation level and power he left behind it wouldn't be long before the entire server and all the sectors got heavily shaken up, his current level of power and ability being more than enough for all those organizations to go crazy to have him.

A below 100 years kid with the current cultivation he has shown along with an unchecked talent for World Spirt energy is something many powerful organizations will fight to have, especially at this time, Xiao knows better about the inner workings and factions taking place within the Cosmic Fighter Association.

Xiao waited all this time until right at this time, the information will now go up to all those factions, they will place all their hungry eyes on him, and Xiao would use some of the giants of the Cosmo to boost the position of this current character that he is playing.

One that will play the entire cosmos to his desires.

'All-Seer, have you arranged all my memories?'

[Yes.]

'Then what is the fastest way for me to be rich?'

[I have created a detailed plan. Choose which you like.]

Saying so, a huge list representing different paths appeared in front of Xiao, each with its merit and demerit, how much time it would take, and much more. Reading through it, Xiao was in awe.

'You know, without you, I will be lost.'

[Well, at least you know.]

'Still as cocky as ever.'

[Well, it's better than a pussy.]

'Damn, looks like you learned some words.'

[Well, I had a very nice memory.]

'Looks like it's time I reboot yours.'

[Then it's time I release some extremely hot memories of yours. I have to say you are very flexible with your hands.]

'....'

[.....]

'Truce?'

[Truce.]

Finally getting a response, Xiao started to walk and moved towards a more secluded area, seeing that no one was around him, he ordered,

'Take me to the Blackened disc.'

A moment later, he broke into light particles, and when he opened his eyes, he was in a place that reeked of death. The cultivators here looked more brutal and bloodthirsty, each of them had a trait that was screaming that I am evil. The location also was desolate with a reddish sky with three different colorful suns in the sky.

The building, thankfully, was still modern, the only difference being each person was looking at the other as if they were their targets. Xiao straightened his back as he calmly walked through, and a subtle hint of his killing intent was leaked. This, along with his looks, was more than enough to keep the rest at bay.

Looking at all this, he really felt at home. This was one of the places most 'evil' humans gathered, where true carnage takes place. Well, this was one of the places; the whole Darkness disk is divided into a huge layer that has its power structure, and this was just one small place. Back then, Xiao roamed them, his status made him an outlaw wherever he went. There were only a few places that he didn't have to hide.

With practiced movement, Xiao reached a shop that read,

[Rommys Pawn Shop.]

Entering inside, he could see a guy sitting in a chair, looking bored. Several items were placed around, and as he entered, the man's eyes lit up, and a familiar predatory smile filled his face.

'Still the same.'

Not losing his focus, Xiao walked towards the man, who by now was already sitting up straight with a business smile on his face.

"What can I do for you?"

"I need some money."

As soon as Xiao's words fell, the man's smile widened.

"Oh! That's good. How much would you need?"

"About a million credits."

"And the collateral?"

"There is no collateral."

"Wonderful! Then please sign here."

Saying so, the man Rammy forwarded a contract. Reading it, Xiao's eyes twitched.

'Still as greedy as ever.'

The contract stated that Xiao had to pay back the money within a month, and the interest would be 100%, and it would increase by 100% each day after the payment period if you missed the pay! The fucker was trying to dry him out! Moreover, he needed a Qi contract that many won't use. Well, that only worked on the lighter side, here it was the norm. If he broke the contract, then Xiao would lose his ability to wield Qi, the dweller node he is connected to will make sure of it but then again Xiao is not even connecting through the dweller node.

Quite brutal, but Xiao didn't hesitate as he signed the contract with his soul signature, making the man's smile widen.

"Pleasure doing business with you."

"Likewise."

Xiao said with a calm voice. He didn't stay after that as he left the store, again finding a corner place as he teleported. Now his hands filled with money, a few seconds later he was walking through the streets of Promise and Despair, a designated land belonging to the Nightmare Queen. The majority of the beings here were of the nightmare realm, an S+ ranked realm.

Normally being able to transport here itself would cost a huge amount of money, plus there would be a clear sign indicating that he didn't belong here and the people here would rip him off for it. Anything he buys here will be at triple the cost, just because he wasn't someone of the nightmare realm.

'Still as chilling as ever.'

The nightmare creatures have their own unique look; they are 4 meters tall with bluish and black skin. They didn't have an eye on their face; instead, a tentacle-like eye grew from their back, hanging in front of them, while a small hole acted as a mouth. They didn't have ears as their 'eye' did the same function.

'Wait... All-Seer, can't you just give me money? You know, make them.'

[I can't do that. Each credit has its own designated number. Moreover, me giving you coins will destroy the balance and alert people who shouldn't be messed with.]

'Fine.'

Letting things be, Xiao moved forward with the money in his hand. He could finally start his plan, the plan to make himself filthy rich.
