Ch 14
The spikes above expanded, stabbing into the ground. Five of them shot into Atatasuki, but they melted on contact.
Atatasuki walked toward Ego. “I don’t have an artifact. What you are witnessing is a glitch. I overheat because my body wasn’t installed with a proper cooling fan. I’ve almost died from a heat-stroke numerous times-I experienced those moments of uncertainty. I have been in a state between life and death more times than years you’ve been alive. In order to surpass my obstacles, I embraced them. I purposely overheat my body to the brink! I willingly drove my body to a state of collapse. I cultured my flaws. Now they define me.”
“How can you be defined by your flaws?” asked Ego.
“Behold, I have turned my glitches into a formidable weapon. You may have years of practice, but I have the burning passion of a defect. My mistakes shall surpass all your training,” said Atatasuki as he melted through the forest of spikes.
