Chapter 511 - A Costly Escape
Rudra was in a tough spot with Lucifer , as he knew he needed to have a valid reason for being in the posession of the pages from the Demon's diary and he could not lie his way out of it.
But the valid reason that he had to be in the posession of the pages was that he was a reincarnator and had knowledge about how the pages were a part of the main storyline of Omega.
It was not something that Rudra could explain , as although he indeed had posession of a lot of pages he had no idea about how to use them or what part they served in the main storyline. However considering how Lucifer wanted them soo badly , it was surely not something simple.
Rudra could under no circumstance reveal something like he was a reincarnator , as he had no idea what the consequences would be , from Gaia or from Lucifer. As chose to walk a tightrope as he said " I had a strong gut feeling that told me that these pages were something special. I have no idea about what they do as it was something I only planned to work on once i have the complete book in my hands ".
Lucifer studied Rudra's reaction for a while as he started to laugh ... " Hahahahaha , what a foolish mortal. Cannot even know the worth of the diamond in his hands , good good good , you make things easy for me ! ".
Saying so Lucifer flicked his finger as Rudra restraints dissapeared as he fell to the ground on his knees .
Lucifer kicked Rudra as he stepped on his chest and bent over to look him in the eye.
Rudra could no longer breathe as he could feel the pressure of a mountain on his chest as he struggled under Lucifer's feet .
Lucifer's red devil eyes shone with menace as he said " I know who you are , and i know everything about you. Every detail and every title you hold . So don't try and be a smart a** , once i let you go. Obediently hand over the pages and never speak about this matter.
Should I ever find out that the Church of light is informed about me collecting these pages , and hence run into needless and futile resistance. I will personally descent on the middle world and destroy everything you hold dear ..... And it would not even take me two breaths to do so... Get it? ".
Giving a blatant threat , Lucifer waves his arm as Rudra's soul dissipated from under his feet , as did Rudra's body back in Whitecloud city.
As finally after 18 hours of his death , Rudra finally respawned at the church of light back in Purplehaze city!
Rudra's body disintegrating was a source of massive concern for the elites who were racking their brains about what could have happened . But they breathed a collective breath of releif when news came from Purplehaze city , that the leader had woken up in the church of light.
It was only when Rudra woke up , that he realized how terrified he was , as although there was nothing obstructing his chest anymore , he felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
Rudra was by no means a pious man , as he did not even believe in the real god's much less the AI generated god's of Omega. However at this moment he could not help but get as close to the statue of the goddess of life as he could as he found comfort knowing that he was inside the safe haven of the godess of light.
Such mentality was not something that one would usually see with Rudra , however meeting Lucifer had rattled him to the core , as it took him a good 15 minutes to get his mentality sorted again.
Rudra was a solid man at his core , hence although he was rattled , after calming down he could think clearly again and get back on his feet dusting the fear off.
However the moment Rudra tried to stand up and leave the church he realized that something was majorly wrong with his body.
Rudra checked his stat pannel to realize what it was.

Rudra was stumped to see his stat pannel. Not only was he cursed by Lucifer , all his stats were locked at 100 , as he was basically no different from a level 10 newbie at the moment!
' Great , just great , Flub me sideways ! '. Cursed Rudra , this was blasphemous .... A 90 day crippling ban for using a divine move was too damn much!
So at the moment , Rudra not only had to deal with the scheme of the devil , but also stay idle and do nothing for the next 90 days , as he was simply incapable of it .
It was also a huge reality check for Rudra , as he was reminded that he at tier 3 could not play god and dish out tier 5 moves without consequences.
For his tier 3 weak body to channel such divine power was sure to leave lasting damage and crippling penalties.
He needed to think twice before using it again, as he could not waste 90 days of his time lying around just because a situation forced him to use it once!
However when he asked himself , did he regret using it now that he knew about the consequences of using the move?
The answer would be a big fat NO , as despite everything , that fight against the ten rankers was by far THE best fight of his career . Not only this life but his past life too.
It was a fight he could be proud of, he had truly given it his all in the heat of the battle and forced himself to maneuver through incredible odds that were stacked against him.
In the end he failed , however it was a magnificent failure nonetheless as he could go to bed smiling knowing that he had left it all on the battlefield.
Had he not used Holy Lance , there would forever be a what if in his heart , a question about could things have gone different had i done that?
And being a reincarnator , the last thing Rudra wanted was that question. He would much rather fail and suffer the consequences of failure than ever have the question of , could things have gone different had i done that?
As he regretted nothing , and accepted his penalty with grace.
Rudra was naturally unaware of how the world reacted to his fight and how it had exploded on the news channels and forums all across the globe . If he did he would be shocked at how the world was reacting to the clip.
Rankers were afraid of him , dark faction players hated him while the weaker players declared him to be the number one in the world.
Delusional guys wanted to challenge him and guild leaders wanted to make an ally of him. As one thing was for sure , even though one could dispute about Shakuni being the best player in the game. After this fight everyone agreed on one thing , which was he was ONE of the best , if not the best player playing Omega in the world right now!
Which was a HUGE HUGE achievement in itself !
Naturally at the moment Rudra did not have the leisure to enjoy all the praise that was being showered on him from the common people , as he had some blood merchants who would soon come knocking on his door , and he needed to prepare for them to lift the curse currently ailing him!
