The First Store System

Chapter 62: Memory

"What should I do with them?" Aakesh then murmured, looking at the kings lying down there in the throne room.

He couldn't just let them go as they knew about his power level. If people came to know about his power level, they would think that there must be a treasure in Kakot that's why a Tao Palace expert is living here. He didn't want that as he wasn't all-powerful. He could defeat every Tao palace expert in the Primal dimension, but if the rumor brought an Immortal to the Bisan Kingdom, he would be in trouble.

"Let's change their memories," He whispered and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a white light engulfed everybody present in the throne room. A new memory started emerging in everybody's head.

It was the most simple use of the element of illusion. As a result of leveling according to the system's method, Aakesh gained equal proficiency in every element present in the Multiverse.

The memory he added to everyone's mind was they suddenly got an SOS signal from the king of the Bisan Kingdom. When they reached the royal palace, they found Pinto, Barry, and Johnny dead in the throne room and one unconscious person. When they checked the identity of the unconscious man, it was someone stranger to everybody.

They asked Punta about it, but even he didn't know the identity. It was Aakesh who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"You're finally here," The next moment, a voice echoed from their behind. The Kings turned around and saw a being engulfed in the dark.

"Who are you, and why did you kill my son?" Punta growled, seeing the stranger appearing in the throne room.

The stranger didn't respond and instead made a move against Punta. Punta knew he couldn't defeat, so he asked for help from the other kings, but they refused as they didn't want to involve against someone so powerful like this. Pinto had already died, so what he had offered them for helping him, they would never get.

Punta had to pay double of what Pinto had offered the other kings to help him, and they got ready to help him. Then there was a tragic fight between the kings and the stranger being. They were able to defeat him in the end, but they also had severe injuries.

The stranger, after getting defeated, instead of telling them his identity self destructed. The kings then lost consciousness due to numerous injuries.

Aakesh told Lily to create severe injuries on the kings and create destruction from the blast. The next moment, he disappeared from the throne room. There were several plot holes in the story, but Aakesh didn't care as only an Immortal proficient in the element of illusion could break these memories down and bring the truth out.

He also did this as an Immortal helping these kings would only happen in the rare of rare chances. After disappearing from the throne room, he appeared right in the center of the Schiller's family head place.

He could see a grim silence all over the place, as only yesterday they had lost hundreds of their best guards and one Void Condensation expert.

"Hey, who are you, and what are you doing here?" A voice angrily asked Aakesh.

Aakesh slightly turned around and saw a guard angrily looking at him. Aakesh ignored the guard and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, as if it was raining, the fabric of space started shrinking and breaking down. It engulfed every person present on a radius of several kilometers around the main palace of the Schiller family.

It was shocking to see the fabric of space rain down on people, but it didn't last long for the people because the void engulfed everyone in it. There were several people who didn't belong to the Schiller family, but Aakesh didn't care and let them die. While everything outside the range of destruction was normal for people, they didn't even know while thousands of people died.

In only a few seconds, the second strongest family of the Bisan Kingdom went extinct, and nobody knew the reason behind it. The extinction of the Schiller family was blamed on the stranger other kings fought. It became one of the mysterious circumstances of the Anga continent, despite the passing of countless years.

After doing the deed, Aakesh reappeared in the throne room and fell down, acting unconsciously. The next moment, every king unconscious in the throne room started waking up one by one. They groaned and clutched their head in pain.

"Don't forget your promise, Punta. The battle turned out to be worse than expected," One of the kings complained, seeing half of his hands missing.

"Ugh, Don't worry, you would get what I offered you," Punta said while groaning and clutching his head.

The kings were this courteous to Punta because of his family. If Punta refused to give them their share, they could only curse and complain. They couldn't even think of harming him.

"I am leaving, Punta. Our challenge is null from now on," Punta's brother suddenly said as any animosity he had disappeared after fighting a life and death battle with him against the stranger.

"Hmm, tell father, I would come to meet him," Punta nodded as, without his brother, they wouldn't have been able to defeat the stranger. His brother was the strongest person in their group.

"We would leave too! Don't forget your promise," The kings also started leaving one by one after reminding him not to forget their share.

"Thank you for helping me!" Punta nodded and thanked every king before they left.

After every king left, a tragic expression appeared on his face as he frantically searched for his son's body, but he only found one body, and that too was off the stranger lying weirdly at one corner of the throne room.

He then saw a slight movement in the stranger's body as the stranger started waking up.

"Ugh," The stranger groaned after regaining consciousness. He then, with a lot of struggle, stood up and confusedly searched around him. Suddenly his face turned pale as the memory started coming back; the stranger with a pale face then directly stared into the eyes of Punta.

A/N: What did you think of this chapter? Should I add some situations like this, where he had to act smartly and couldn't just directly force the problem away, using his power, or do you, only want to see an OP MC who doesn't need to think and destroy the problem right away?
