"Congratulations, all of you, for participating in this great competition for the inheritance of planet Earth! I can see that humans, Ashuras, and demons have already landed on this planet. We are thrilled that three of our clan leaders' generations are present here.
I must inform you that this planet will ultimately belong to humans, demons, and Ashuras. Other clans should be alert, as they will not be protected and will have to fight for survival. Don't get too happy, human, demon, and Ashura clans, for only those with the strongest soul power will stand a chance. The one with the strongest soul power will become the clan leader.
Note that in every test, humans have emerged as the champions, but don't worry, other clans have also had their moments of ruling. However, humans have been the majority rulers, and the reason I'm emphasizing humans is that they are the only ones who, instead of creating a new name for their clan, were gifted a name by God Himself. This shows God's preference for them.
Oh, I see something unique! A human-demon child! Who could have thought that the two strongest clans of ancients would produce an offspring?"
"Let's begin the competition! Don't worry, your child will be protected, and the soul pressure on him will be no amount "
Suddenly, a wind started to pick up, but there was nothing visible in the air. However, some Ashuras were lifted off the ground and vanished into thin air, as if swept away by an invisible tornado. Similarly, many demons and Ashuras disappeared, leaving behind an eerie silence.
The voice spoke again, "Another wind wave is coming. Be prepared; it will be 10 times stronger than the first." However, when the second wave arrived, it felt more like a gentle breeze, with some participants barely lifted off the ground.
The voice announced, "The second wave has finished. The third wind wave will be 100 times stronger." As the third wave hit, I felt something stirring within me. My soul, which had always been strong and resilient, was finally affected. I realized that my deep connection to my soul form, a result of the curse, had made me unaware of my soul's true strength.
This time, however, my soul was impacted, and I felt a slight movement within me. The wave eventually subsided, leaving me wondering what would come next.
I glanced around, shocked to see that only three others remained: my brother, Shura, Adhiraj, and myself. The voice announced, "The fourth wave is coming. Only one demon, two humans, one Ashura, and one clan member remain. This wind will be 1000 times stronger than the previous one."
As the voice finished speaking, a massive wave hit, and I felt myself being pulled toward an invisible vortex. A tornado formed around me, threatening to suck something out of me. I realized that if this continued, I would lose everything.
Desperate, I asked the system, "Is there a way to increase my soul power?"
The system replied, "Yes, but you need more points. Achieve something, and I'll help you get it."
Enraged but determined, I knew I had to act fast. I opened my dress, revealing my chest, and suddenly, the wave subsided.
As I looked back, I saw that Shura and Adhiraj still stood, but my brother was nowhere to be seen. I felt a pang of worry and guilt for using my body to survive.
The voice spoke again, "The fourth wave has finished. Only three remain. Prepare for the final wave, which will determine the ultimate champion."
I steeled myself, ready to face whatever came next.
System message: "Your bold move earned you 1000 points. Your soul power has increased by 10%. Use this boost wisely."
Unfortunately, Shura saw me in that state, and his face turned bright red. I also felt a flush rise to my cheeks. Adhiraj, however, reacted like a true friend, closing my dress and saying, "That's not right." Though he seemed a bit flustered, his actions showed he only wanted to protect me from any discomfort or harm.
I recalled a similar incident where I had helped Adhiraj adjust his pallu, which some people had misinterpreted as a sign of romantic feelings. But we knew the truth - we were just good friends.
Just then, two voices echoed in my mind. The first one announced, "Your soul power has increased." I could feel it too, as my ability to sense the surrounding pure and impure energy had risen, along with many other capabilities.
The second voice declared, "The fifth wave is coming. Only three of you remain, so don't worry - one of you will become the main leader, and the other two will have equal power, except for one difference: the main leader will have veto power over your decisions if they feel it's necessary."
I steeled myself for the final challenge, ready to face whatever lay ahead.
The voice finally stopped, and I felt a mix of relief and irritation. But my respite was short-lived, as a new wave arrived, initially feeling like the previous ones. However, it slowly intensified, and a crushing pressure built up in my head, making me feel like I was bearing the weight of a mountain.
Just as suddenly, everything stopped, leaving me confused. I looked around, but I was alone. The space around me seemed to shift, and I felt an inexplicable pull. When my vision cleared, I found myself in a completely white room with nothing in it.
Suddenly, a blue screen materialized in front of me, and a girl emerged from it like a ghost in a movie. She introduced herself as Adrika, an advanced AI containing knowledge from all multiverses, aspects, and histories.
Adrika told me that I had been chosen as the heir to this vast knowledge, and that my recent surge in soul power indicated that I had great potential. However, she emphasized that I still had a long way to go, being currently at a low level.
"You've only just reached the starting point," Adrika said. "The path ahead is long and challenging. You must train and become stronger to reach the peak."
