The Omnipotent System

Chapter 80: The Ten Commandments 2

"Well, this just got interesting," Jack remarked, his voice laced with amusement. He released his grip on the celestial, who immediately staggered back, relieved to be free of Jack's terrifying presence. But Jack was far from done.

With a casual stride, Jack began walking toward Gareth, a smirk playing on his lips as he sized up the newcomer. To him, Gareth was just another fool, another challenger who dared to test the might of the Primordial Chaos Sect. As Jack approached, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression shifting from amusement to a more focused intensity.

"And who do you think you are?" Jack asked, his tone dripping with disdain. The question hung in the air, a challenge in itself, as Jack prepared to make it clear that no one, not even a figure as imposing as Gareth, could stand against them.

Gareth strode past Jack without a second glance, his eyes fixed ahead as if Jack were nothing more than an afterthought. The blatant disregard sent a flash of anger through Jack, his usual easygoing demeanor evaporating in an instant. His hand clenched around the staff he summoned, the weapon appearing with a crackle of energy as he swiftly turned to strike.

But as Jack spun around, his anger was abruptly replaced with surprise, and then, oddly, amusement. The sight that greeted him was not what he expected.

Gareth, the imposing figure who had so boldly entered the arena, was now bowing deeply before Adams. The powerful aura that had marked Gareth as a threat was now one of reverence, his head lowered in submission.

Jack chuckled, lowering his staff slightly as he observed the scene. "Well, I'll be damned," he muttered under his breath, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. The tension that had filled the air moments ago seemed to dissipate, replaced by a curious mixture of respect and humor as Jack watched this unexpected turn of events unfold.

"You asked for my name, didn't you, monkey?" Gareth's voice cut through the silence as he turned to face Jack. The casual insult hit its mark, and Jack's expression shifted from surprise to irritation, his jaw tightening as he bristled at the term.

He swallowed hard, the weight of Gareth's scrutinizing stare making it difficult to breathe. "Please," he continued, his tone pleading, "I didn't mean to offend or challenge your strength. I was just trying to protect myself. If you value your own safety and your sect's well-being, you should reconsider your actions."

The arena was silent, the air thick with tension as the celestial's words echoed through the space. Every disciple held their breath, watching intently to see how Gareth would respond to the celestial's desperate plea.

Gareth's expression remained stern, though his eyes held a glint of amusement. "You think invoking the Ten Commandments will save you now?" he asked, his tone cold. "If you were truly aware of their power, you would understand that their name holds no sway here.."

"Hey, I'm getting really fed up with everyone ignoring me!" Jack's frustration was palpable as he shouted across the arena. "I asked who the hell these Ten Commandments are that gives this guy the nerve to threaten us!"

His outburst was abruptly cut off when Linda descended from her position and, with a swift motion, delivered a heavy knock to Jack's head. The force of the blow made Jack wince, and he turned to face Linda with a mix of surprise and irritation.

"Calm down, brat," Linda scolded him, her voice firm and unyielding. "I've told you countless times that you're a Valley Master now. Start acting like one and show some decorum."

This caused Janice who was not far away from her mother to chuckle at her brother's predicament causing Jack to glared at her.

"The Ten Commandments, or more simply, the Ten Law Enforcements of the Ruler of the Ethereal Sovereignty Realm."
