Neurolink System in the Modern World

The heat emanating from his body soared higher as I braced myself, summoning Aegis Projections to shield against the attack. The air around us shimmered with intense heat waves as his flame descended.

"You're going to pay for what you did to her!" His eyes were filled with hatred, glowing like the flames around him. It seemed that his flames grew stronger the more emotional he was.

Well, it would be weirder if he didn't react after his beloved girlfriend exploded like a balloon. I mean, that scene must have left some serious trauma. Talk about a relationship that went bust, literally.

I smirked back, flames reflecting in my eyes too.

"Pay? Oh, I only take things. 'Paying' isn't even in my vocabulary," I said, injecting a bit of humor into my insult.

It was quite satisfying to see him suffer, especially after realizing that his attack wasn't even enough to stop me from making fun of him. That's just how wide the gap between us was.

He was like a toddler in front of me, especially when I felt the urge to be mean and petty.

He raised his other fist, flames leaving a trail as he punched my Aegis Projection again and again.

"BOOOOM!"

"BOOOOM!"

"BOOOOM!"

I started making sound effects, perfectly timed with his attacks, just for the fun of it. .net

"Bastard! Stop mocking me!" he spat in anger.

I remained silent, offering him only an insulting smile that spoke volumes of how small he was in my eyes.

"You killed her! Now, I will kill you!" he bellowed, the rage making the flames even wilder and more erratic.

"Revenge is a luxury. And sorry, you don't have the ability to do that" I shook my head.

"And now you're going to die because you're weak. This must be what you're talking about, right? When you mention inferior people? Well, in this case, you and you're dumb girlfriend are the inferior ones," I started grinning as I watched him desperately trying to destroy my shield.

But I have more Mind Power than him, so he would have to stop sooner or later.

And just as expected, the flames around him started to dim.

Seeing this, he jumped backward, trying to stabilize his breathing.

After using a lot of Mind Power in that attack, he looked genuinely shocked to see my Aegis Projection still standing. The impression was sinking in that my shield might be unbreakable.

"Is this the best you've got?" I continued taunting, a smirk playing on my face. "I thought I'd be facing someone powerful by all that shouting, not someone who burns out after a little firework show."

His face contorted in a mix of anger and frustration.

"Well, considering you couldn't even scratch my shield, your power is like a joke. A bad one, but still a joke."

His eyes glowed again. "I'll show you real power!" he yelled, flames reigniting around him.

I rolled my eyes. "Sure, go ahead. Try not to burn yourself out again." The mockery in my tone only fueled his anger.

But it was futile; he started attacking me again, but the quality of his attacks became worse and worse. Forget about breaking my shield; his attacks could now be stopped by my Telekinesis alone.

"Boring, you're boring," I yawned after getting bored playing with him.

"My father will kill you!" he threatened.

"Your father? You mean the leader of the Nexus Legion?" I touched my chin in contemplation. I knew it; this guy was too weak to lead a group.

"Leader? My father is only the second in command. You're not worthy to face my grandfather," he sneered in contempt. Now, this guy was just a sore loser. He went from a cool-looking character to a cliche noble young master.

"Oh, so now you're pulling the powerful family card?" I asked with raised eyebrows. "What an idiot ," I shook my head in disappointment.

"I'm bored with you, it's time to die," I said, my tone carrying a hint of boredom. For those who take pride in themselves, the best way to hit where it hurts was by shattering their ego.

Then, my Aegis Projection finally revealed its true form. I didn't make it too big, but it became more solid. The six arms alone, each holding different types of weapons, were enough to intimidate anyone.

Sensing the danger, he tried to turn away and run, but how could he do that in front of me?

I restricted his movements with ease. Normally, he would have some power to fight back, but right now, he had already exhausted his gas tank.

"You will regret this. My father will hunt you down," he threatened again. It seemed this guy really thought that his family would be able to save him. He was talking like this because I was holding my powers back. If I really fought him for real, he wouldn't even survive 10 seconds.

"Don't worry. Your father doesn't need to hunt me down because I'm coming for them. I'll kill every single one of your family members. Your father, your mother, your grandfather, your grandmother, your sister, your brother. Every one of them will die in my hands." I paused, so he could process my words more clearly.

"And before I kill them, I'll make sure to let them know that all of this happened because their good-for-nothing son messed with the wrong person," I grinned creepily, tightening my grip on his body. I wasn't sure if he had all those relatives, so I just listed off every person I could think of.

"Y-You.." He was stunned by my sadistic words. He did not expect that I was crazier than he had expected.

"Oh, did I sound too evil?" I asked, my voice turning lower as if I felt guilty about my words.

"Alright, I will spare your mother and sister and make them my women instead. Don't worry, I'll take care of them every night," I added, injecting a mocking tone into my response.

"CRAZY BASTARD!" He roared in anger.

"Bye now," my words echoed in his ears, and then slowly, I gripped his body like a sponge. The blood started flowing upward in his head, his ears and nose started bleeding from the pressure.

Then, with a sickening pop, his eyeballs burst. His head swelled violently, veins pulsating beneath the skin until it couldn't take the pressure. It exploded, blood and fragments scattering in all directions.

It was a horrifying end for him.
