Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Elliot and Thomas Shelby landed right in front of the academy's gates. A moment ago, they were behind nearly everyone. The very next moment, they surpassed everyone and reached the very top. Undoubtedly, neither the teachers nor the Pill Emperor had seen a spectacle like so in their entire life.

They looked at Elliot with gawking expression, wondering why have a being as powerful as he had come here to take the test. Was he serious about becoming someone else's student even though he was at the very top of the world?! Or did he come here with nefarious intentions?

Well, it was something that Elliot's actions will soon clarify anyway.

Thomas was surprised that they were already, and he couldn't stop shouting out in excitement.

After calming down, he stepped towards the gate, intending to push them open.

However, Elliot stopped him.

"What do you want?" Thomas asked.

"I have honored my part of the deal; now it's your turn to honor your words," Elliot said while looking at the treasure on his body.

"Ah! Sorry, I was so excited that I forgot about it for a moment." Thomas said, and with a smile, he took off all the things on his body and gave them to Elliot.

All of them had a lot of things, and Elliot thought that it would be perfect if he could bring them back to the real world. But he knew that this was all an illusion, and nothing here was real, not the people he was interacting with, not the Pill Emperor, nor anything else.

"Why are you still here?" Elliot asked Thomas, who still hadn't tried to open the gate.

"Can I really go first?" Thomas asked.

The deal was that Elliot would let him reach the top of the staircase before others, not let him enter the Academy before himself.

Thus, Thomas Shelby was a bit confused and didn't move from his spot.

Elliot looked at Thomas and then turned around to gaze at the gigantic gate, and after making sure that even ten thousand Thomas wouldn't be enough to even budge it, he said, "Don't worry about nonsensical things. You can go and try first."

"Since you don't mind me going first, I won't hesitate any longer." Thomas Shelby thanked Elliot and tried to push open the gate.

'Huh, why is it not even budging?'

As Elliot thought, Thomas Shelby used all of his strength, physical and spiritual, but still failed to even budge the giant entrance gate.

'Maybe I am not using enough force?'

Thomas Shelby, who was using all his strength already, tried to exert more force.

"THPPTPHTPHPHHPH"

The only thing that came out was a heaven-shaking fart from his arse. It echoed throughout the entire staircase and made Thomas feel so ashamed that he wanted to hide himself in the hole of a rat.

"Move. Let me give it a try," Elliot saw that some super-powerful people were super close to climbing the staircase, so he decided to push open the gate and become the first one to enter the main building of the academy.

"Please do." Thomas Shelby, who was dying from an excess of embarrassment as if it was poison, didn't even waste a second before moving out of Elliot's ways.

The eyes of Pill Emperor and all the core members of the celestial mountain surrounded by clouds turned towards him.

"What do you think? Will he overcome the second challenging as easily as he did the first one?" Pill Emperor asked the Puppet Lord.

"Even though he is unbelievably strong, so much so that even my energy-radiation measurement devices exploded when trying to calculate the total amount of energy in his body, I can confidently say that even he would find opening the gate without turning serious a challenge." The Puppet Lord, who had six combat machines standing behind him, said.

The Pill Emperor's eyebrows raised as he glanced at him and said, "Oh, really, what makes you so confident?"

He didn't participate in preparing for the different challenges placed in various areas of the entrance exam. Puppet Lord, however, was the one who created the second challenge. He knew everything about it. He also knew it was nearly impossible to push the door open with brute force.

"I've used Hell's metal to craft the gate. You know how it becomes sturdier the further away it is from the center of the planet. Since we are thousands of feet above the ground, it is more than a thousand times its original weight. The only way to push it open is to use mana or spiritual energy to detect the various invisible locks on it. One needs control over their energy, and only then can they spread it all over the gate and sense what's wrong with it. It has thousands of them. A person has to feed a certain amount of spiritual energy to unlock them. The first lock only needs a thousand. But the second one needs double that. The third one needs double that of the second one, and it goes on and on until the last lock that needs an astronomical amount of energy to get unlocked." Puppet Lord explained his ingenious creation.

"You! You made this challenge too hard." Sword Lord said.

It was so terrifying and ridiculous that the Pill Emperor and the other six lords thought that not even a single student would pass this test.

"I'm guessing we won't be getting a single new student this year." Lord of Mechanics said.

"Well, good for me," Wine Lord laughed and gulped all of the wine left inside the pot in his hand.

The others looked at him, turned around, and roared out loud.

The thing was, the pot in Wine Lord's hand was a piss pot!

"Why is this wine so bitter?"

Wine Lord was sadly so drunk that he didn't realize that, and he kept on drinking someone else's piss while complaining that the wine was bitter, too bitter, like the bitterness in his hand on losing his lover to another bastard, ah!
