Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 276 275: First Tribulation of Hell; Horrified

Time after time again, Corey kept on repeating the same thing.

After his life in a mirror ended, he would close his eyes and remain in a single spot until the last second.

Whenever it seemed like Corey was going to die by the strange power in the tribulation, he would always take a step forward at the last moment.

It almost seemed like the trio were watching a scene that was on repeat, and in this scene, Corey was 'playing' with the power of the tribulation.

It was strange.

Despite whatever thoughts the three beings had, Corey kept on repeating his actions in a calm and precise manner.

Wake up from the world of a mirror, erase all his memories of that world no matter how tempting and sweet it may be, and then take another step forward.

As Corey did all of these, reaching the end of the glass road was meant to be an easy feat.

But, he was always in extreme danger during the process of him using Cognitum Erasure on himself.

He didn't know what was always making his instincts to scream at him to move, but he was frustrated and angry at the source of the danger.

Due to the unseen danger, Corey had to quickly use Cognitum Erasure on his mind after he woke up from the world in a mirror.

It was extremely dangerous and frustrating for Corey because using Cognitum Erasure in a rush was not safe and wise at all.

Cognitum Erasure was not a skill that was meant to be used in a rush, but Corey had no choice but to use it in a rush.

Luckily for him, he had trained with the skill on countless occasions in the second world in the mirror, so his proficiency with the skill was extremely high.

Currently, Corey did not know how many mirrors he had passed or how many worlds he had experienced since he only had memories of the first and second world in a mirror.

Though, if he knew, he would be slightly surprised.

His eyes had just regained its light after looking at the tenth mirror, and his calm gaze surprised a certain being to its core.

"Impossible!"

The serpentine-like creature hissed, its eyes revealing the surprise and shock it felt at the fact that Corey still had a calm expression even after the tenth mirror.

"How is he doing it?"

The serpentine-like creature gazed at the armored figure, but the armored figure just shrugged. Though, its gaze was slightly solemn.

Almost like it had just discovered something.

The serpentine-creature hissed, then it gazed at Corey with a curious glint in its eyes.

'He's clearly not committing suicide in the mirror worlds, so how is his expression and gaze so calm?"

Just as Corey had guessed, the only way to leave a mirror world was by death.

Either Corey died at the hands of an individual, dies a natural death, or commits suicide.

Dying a natural death like dying of old age was usually the best way to leave the mirror world since one would not have any lingering soul injury.

Dying by the hands of another person would not leave any soul injury, but what was to say that a person would not experience trauma from dying at the hands of another person.

Meanwhile, death by suicide was usually the quickest way to leave a mirror world, but one should know the amount of courage, determination, and madness it took for a person to actually kill themselves.

The serpentine-like figure still refused to believe that The Defying Paragon's blood could help a tier 1 survive the tribulation for this long.

It was slightly curious as to how Corey could survive up to ten mirrors as a tier 1. But, that was all, just slight curiosity.

"He might get past the twentieth mirror."

An extremely soft whisper reached the ears of the serpent-like creature, and it looked at the armored figure with squinted eyes.

"Impossible."

The serpent-like creature spat, and the armored figure said nothing.

Even the armored figure did not fully believe the words it spoke.

It was more like a feeling.

(An Unknown Amount of Time Later)

"Impossible!"

A loud voice filled with disbelief resounded in the skies of the glass world of the first tribulation of Hell.

The source of the voice, the serpentine-like creature, had a light of disbelief in its gaze as it saw Corey take the 21st step on the glass path.

And, worst of all, Corey's expression was still calm and sane!

The serpent-like creature was extremely shocked that Corey could pass the twentieth step, and the curiosity in its gaze increased.

The armored figure also had a slightly surprised expression as she saw Corey pass the twentieth mirror. Though, she was much calmer since she had already expected it.

'I'm curious as to how far he'll reach.'

The armored figure thought, with slight anticipation.

All Paragons, whether a full Paragon or a Demi-Paragon could perform feats outside the realm of common sense.

(An Unknown Amount of Time Later)

"This is ridiculous!"

The serpent-like creature hissed with an extremely shocked tone as it saw Corey take the hundredth step!

If somebody had told him that a tier 1 Demi-Paragon would take a hundred steps in the first tribulation, he would definitely dismiss such information as nonsensical and bullshit.

But right in front of his eyes was a tier 1 Demi-Paragon taking his hundredth step!

A tier 1!

Even the armored figure was shocked by the fact that Corey was able to take a hundred steps as a tier 1 mortal.

Despite the thoughts of the two beings, Corey kept on taking step by step with a calm expression.

His experiences in the mirror worlds were becoming more and more impactful on his psyche, and if not for the fact that he had removed the previous memories of his life in the previous mirror worlds, he would have ran mad by now.

He took step after step, and with each step he took, the expressions of the armored figure and the serpent-like figure repeatedly changed.

100 Steps

200 Steps

400 Steps

…..

1000 Steps!

…..

2000 Steps!

...

3500 Steps!

.....

5000 Steps!

"He's reached the middle of the glass path!"

The serpent-like creature exclaimed. It's gaze no longer contained curiosity and shock, but horror!

It was not only the being to be horrified by Corey's performance.

The armored figure was also horrified.

In their eyes, the possibility of Corey becoming another Defying Paragon was no longer impossible.

Corey would not be the person to reach the middle of the glass path as a tier 1. Some tier 1 Paragons have also done such, but only four Demi-Paragons in history had reached the middle of the glass path as tier 1s.

Two of which were dead.

If four Demi-Paragons had reached the middle of the glass path as a tier 1s, why were the two Overseers horrified?

It was because none of the Demi-Paragons had reached the middle of the glass path without breaking a mirror in anger, despair or fear.

Destroying a mirror would cause an untold amount of pain and injury to the physical body and soul of the individual, and Corey had not even destroyed a single mirror.

Only the Paragon Ancestor had done such a thing as a tier 1. Especially with an extremely calm expression.

And, the duo both knew the significance of a new Defying Paragon.

It was a sign a change that had the capability of altering all of existence.

The changes that would be caused could not be measured.

....

7000 Steps!

8000 Steps!

9000 Steps!

9999 Steps!

The instant Corey reached this step, the gazes of the three beings were intense because the step after this was extremely different.

In front of Corey were two things, a golden mirror and a door with a skull at the center.
