The Almighty Ring

.

 Jiang Fei had absolutely no idea how to get out from this space.
And although learning how to control and manipulate the strings might not help him with escaping, it was the only lead he had right now.

 After countless tests, the many parts of Jiang Fei’s body had transformed and reverted again and again.
One time, a nail on his finger become shiny with a metallic gleam, and another time, he turned his foot into a puddle of water.
But thankfully, every time he retracted his consciousness from the strings, the transformation would cease and return his body back to its original form.
Although this was an excruciating process, Jiang Fei believed his pain to be worth it.

 “F*ck! I can’t figure this out! I keep trying and trying, but I’m getting nowhere!”

 After an inconceivable number of tries, frustration finally got to Jiang Fei.
His curiosity had kept him engrossed with his experiments in the beginning, but worry crept in and eventually made him restless.

 Jiang Fei remembered that he and the people he cared about were all being held captive aboard Braveheart and at Akatziris’ mercy.
But now that he’s in this godforsaken place, what about his parents and the girls? Their lives were still in Akatziris’ hands.
And knowing the crazy android, there will be no mercy in how she would treat them!

 If Jiang Fei made it back there just to find his family members dead, then what was the use of learning this new ability? If the people he cared about were gone, then him returning after mastering such an obscenely powerful ability was for naught.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Fei no longer had the same patience he had to slowly investigate and experiment with the strings and was desperate to get back to his loved ones.

 Regardless of his understanding of how the strings worked and his proficiency at using them, this ability to petrify anyone was the power he needed to give him the upper hand when he confronts Akatziris later.
So what he urgently needed right now was a way out from this space so he can unleash his wrath upon the one enemy that was threatening the safety of his loved ones right now.

 Jiang Fei did not know how long it had been since he entered this space as there was nothing he could refer to there to measure the amount of time that had passed.
The flow of time seemed to be nonexistent in the vastness of the void, and that made him anxious about what was happening or what had already happened on the outside.

 “F*ck it, let’s just go all in on this!”

 In his desperation, Jiang Fei finally decided to risk his body and put all of his hopes on the strings.
He had been experimenting with them non-stop for a while, but had exercised caution and carefully probed the strings with his consciousness a little at a time, and stopped every time a part of his body parts changed.
But now, he was preparing himself for one huge leap of faith.

 “Now, vibrate for me!” Jiang Fei gathered all of his consciousness and slammed it hard against the strings, causing all of them to vibrate immediately!

 HUMMM…

 The strings started vibrating at different frequencies all at once, and although the changes in their vibrations seemed completely random and chaotic, the resulting vibrations achieved some form of mysterious resonance and order.

 SWISH!

 As he did that, back in the holding cell that had been detached from Braveheart, Jiang Fei’s body suddenly vanished right in front of Bella and the others’ very eyes!

 “What just happened?” Nina turned and asked Ariel, the one who understood the most about spatial-related powers among the girls.

 “I don’t know, but that’s not teleportation! We know that dearie can’t teleport by himself, and there was no spatial ripple when he disappeared.” Ariel was also confused.

 “If it’s not teleportation, then what is it?” Sylphy asked.

 “To suddenly disappear without a trace like that… Is it…” A thought suddenly crossed Ariel’s mind and horror flashed across her face.

“No… That’s impossible!” Bella’s eyes widened as she came to the same devastating conclusion as Ariel did.

 “Is this… Obliteration?” Nina herself could not believe it when she uttered the dreadful answer that everyone was thinking about.

 Only through total obliteration could someone or something suddenly disappear like that without leaving as much as an atom behind!

 “Is hubby… dead?”
