I Am A Villain

As Zero stood in front of the star, he carefully studied Jiang Feng's domains, their range, restrictions, while also measuring his traveling speed, and in the meantime studying the portal he used to travel to this world using magic.

Jiang Feng stood there watching the star, as if he could feel that it wasn't a natural one he carefully looked at Zero.

Jiang Feng: "You created it didn't you?"

Zero: "Maybe yes, maybe no… does it really matter in the end?"

Jiang Feng: "Tell me your name."

Zero: "How about I don't and we see if you can kill me before you run out of time."

Jiang Feng: "Run out of time? I think you might be confused, I clearly have the upper hand."

Zero simply smiled at that. Jiang Feng couldn't see it through the helmet, but he could feel Zero's amus.e.m.e.nt.

Zero: "Starting from this moment… you and your empire have 33 minutes left to live. Tick Tock Cultivator."

Jiang Feng's mood suddenly dropped as he felt a bad premonition.

Jiang Feng: "What have you done?!"

Zero: "It's not what I've done, but what I'm doing, you have 32 minutes to kill me or else everything you have achieved will become space dust."

As Zero spoke he launched himself towards the nearest planet, utilizing his bioelectricity to stimulate the biomass even further.

As they both landed they launched towards each other, Jiang Feng having the upper hand in power, but Zero constantly dodging his strikes and returning some back. It didn't hold the cultivator for long though as he recuperated quickly.

Zero's next move surprised the cultivator as Zero grabbed his hand and put him in an armlock. While not powerful enough to subdue him he could still hold him in place for about a minute each time. Slowly time passed and Jiang Feng's attacks were getting more and more erratic and uncalculated, just like a kid smashing buttons on a controller.

'It should be enough.'

Zero: "Five minutes left to live. Tick Tock Cultivator."

As he said that Zero teleported away once more before creating a supernova on the star he left behind.

'It's not enough to kill him, but it takes away his protective treasures and that is enough.'

As Zero appeared in a new location, Jiang Feng was not far behind, but this time he looked far more beaten up, with ragged clothes and a furious expression on his face. After arriving though, his eyes widened as he looked behind Zero.

Zero: "As expected from a Cultivator, you could still find me… well, it won't matter in the end."

Behind Zero a sun 3'000 times the sun of the sun and almost 60 times the size of his previous self created star was floating.

Zero: "I really couldn't have accomplished it without your help, the amount of power required to keep a star like this fully functional is ridiculous."

Jiang Feng: "The planet!!!"

Zero: "Indeed, did you think I lead you into it by mistake? There is a giant array on its core, continuously draining both my and your energy while we were fighting, and considering how excited you were I would say your domain's powers fell by quite a bit."

'Even so, I lost so much biomass, the number of souls spent to predict the d.e.s.i.r.ed outcome and telos Karam working at full power for the entire confrontation… I couldn't execute my domination above him because of those pesky domains intervening, the same with my soul ability… really annoying. I have a lot of knowledge but not enough powers.'

Jiang Feng: "Impressive, but do you think you can kill me with that. You shouldn't have much energy left and I still have a way to escape."

Zero: "As it is… No, not really, but here is where science, a concept lost to cultivators in their pursuit of absolute strength, comes in."

As Zero spoke he activated his domain inside the giant sun.

'Once the Coulomb Force is gone, all that is left is the nuclear force that draws the atoms together, the result is the astronomical phenomenon that only occurs during the gravitational collapse of supermassive stars. A hypernova capable of destroying stars dozens of light-years away. It has a temperature of fifty billion degrees Celcius, rivaling the dawn of creation.'

[A.N: Brought to you by No Game No Life.]

'That would be the result if earth's core was used as the catalyst but on this case, a catalyst 3000 times the size of the earth's sun is being used.'

Zero: "No matter what you are, who you are, everyone and everything has a limit. You and your empire just reached yours. Watch as your life's work… is gone in a flash."

As he said that Zero snapped his fingers, and a giant oval gate appeared behind Zero and in front of the star, within which an imperial city could be seen.

Jiang Feng: "NO!!!" – the cultivator screamed as he ran towards the gate.

As Zero's body was disintegrating due to the amount of mana he was channeling to keep the star functional, he immediately threw Excalibur on the Jiang Feng's back, making him stumble to deflect it and continue in his way…

But it was already too late, the star was going hypernova and Zero quickly used what was left of his body to channel another enormous amount of energy and move away from the location.

Zero: "Inter-dimensional Relocation!"

As Zero saw the star going hypernova he felt it interfering with the magic and also damaging his soul, he could also clearly see the desperate expression on the cultivator's face as he tried to reach his home and that brought a smile in Zero's face.

'The price for angering me…is higher than what you are willing to pay.' – Zero thought as his body was destroyed and his soul was relocated.

[A.N: Don't ask about whether he lost his powers, he didn't and it will be explained in the next chapter.]
