Becoming God Of A Dystopian Worldchapter 65: the hellish performance

The egos of the Empera's were focused on watching the drum show that was taking place in Zhao Luo's mind.

They were rather enjoying it as when will they get the chance to enjoy times like these anymore.

In Zhao Luo's dark space.

The second apparition was standing in front of the first drum.

He started beating it as hard as he could.

This apparition had two goals in his mind.

First, he wanted to beat the record of the other apparition.

Second, he wanted to beat the drum hard enough such that it produces so many echoes that the other apparitions after him don't beat his record.

Thus he started beating the drum with all his might.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't surpass the record of the last apparition as every time he beat the drum, the sound of the 'boom' would echo as many times as it did when the apparition before him would beat the drum.

'Heh, good. Keep on doing your best.'

Zhao Luo thought as he looked at his apparition who was beating the drums that were lined up one after another without stopping like he was an animal.

Zhao Luo walked towards his apparition that had fallen after taking the attack that had the power of more than 100 echoes in it.

That apparition was already standing as if he was never hit by such an attack.

Looking at his master walking towards him made him a little nervous.

'Should I absorb him right away?'

Zhao Luo thought as he looked at the nervous-looking apparition.

This method that Zhao Lup was using was basically for doing two things.

First, he would be mastering controlling his strength so when he beats the drums, only three echoes are produced.

The other was to increase his endurance against the sudden impacts of the attack by the drum.

But this first batch of apparitions started with the mindset of winning against each other by getting the most echoes to reverberate.

This way he wouldn't be able to achieve the first thing that was to control his strength in the three rows but his endurance would increase. It may even increase by a lot.

So Zhao Luo without further ado placed his hand on his apparitions head and absorbed him.

After the experience of this upgraded apparition was assimilated into his body, Zhao Luo could feel a little bit stronger. But it was a very little increase so little that he could barely feel it.

"Hmm, not bad. I have all the time now to increase my strength little by little like this."

Zhao Luo said as he turned around to look at his second apparition who was finishing the third row.

'He will be finishing soon.'

Zhao Luo thought as he looked at the second apparition who was bow standing in front of the first drum of the fourth row.

This apparition looked very serious as he was here to equal the score or take revenge for some old grudge.

'Sad!'

Zhao Luo noticed the look on his apparition who was ready to beat this drum and go to the second drum of the fourth row.

It was sad because even though the 'base form' of the summoned apparition was a 'different thought' for every one of them but their power was equal. So if the first apparition fell at this drum then this second apparition will fall after facing the attack of the drum.

Zhao Luo watched the apparition as the drumsticks in the apparition's hand made contact with the drumhead.

'BOOM.'

A loud sound was released as a result of their collision in the dark space as everyone looked at the apparition.

'Boom, Boom.' The echoes started reverberating after the sound died down.

While echoes were resounding in the dark space, the apparition came flying at Zhao Luo.

It was the result of the attack from the drum which contained the power of more than 100 echoes.

'Thud.'

The apparition was caught by Zhao Luo.

As the second apparition was not on the ring anymore the third apparition climbed the ring as he marched towards the first drum.

'Let's take this one too.'

Zhao Luo said as he touched the chest of his apparition which soon turned into a dark shadow before being absorbed by Zhao Luo.

After another assimilation, Zhao Luo could feel that something was swelling in his body.

It was like a bowl that would fill up a little bit when he would assimilate with his upgraded apparition.

Thus Zhao Luo's strength had increased once again but just by a little. Even if it was just by a little margin if this kept on going, he would eventually reach his target.

"Everyone get on it."

Zhao Luo said to his other six apparitions.

The third one was at the second drum of the first row as the first drum was empty so Zhao Luo wanted them to end this fast.

Thus telling them to beat the drum together.

So the fourth apparition went up and beat the first drum as he moved to the second drum the fifth apparition moved to the first drum.

Just like this, all the seven apparitions were beating the drums together.

One apparition would move onto the next one, the other apparitions would follow behind him.

"Boom, Bom, Booom, Boom, BOOM, BOOM

M, bo-boOM,"

The whole space was filled with drum noises.

The rhythm was as Sh*t as it could, even Zhao Luo felt that.

'It's training, not a show.'

Zhao Luo thought as not caring about the rhythm.

Sometimes the drum's beat noise would overlap each other's while other times it would be consecutive sound falling in his ear.

While the apparitions were beating the drums, Zhao Luo thought of another idea.

"Hmm, what if I can make another ring?"

Zhao Luo thought.

If he could do that then he could divide the apparitions into two teams.

One would focus on beating the drum with their maximum force and face the most powerful attack of the drum directly.

The second team would focus on controlling the strength in all three rows and try to get it hard enough to get only three echoes.

'This way I will achieve both endurance and strength.'

Thus Zhao Luo thought of another ring with drums on it.

The conditions on the rows of drums and characteristics of the drums were based on his memory of the Drums of Bellum, just like before.

Everything happened in an instant as another square ring with rows of drums on it appeared in front of Zhao Luo.

'Hmm.'

Zhao Luo wondered as he could feel a heavy pressure on his mind but it was still bearable.

Zhao Luo didn't sweat it as he summoned two new apparitions.

His other seven which were on the other ring platform came flying after being hit by the attack of the drum on the fourth row.

One by one they fell between Zhao Luo and the two new apparitions.

After a short break, they started standing up as they looked at Zhao Luo who was ready to say something to them.

All the apparitions were lined. Seven of them were upgraded apparitions and two of them were summoned by Zhao Luo just recently.

The two ring platforms with the drums on them were on right and left of Zhao Luo as Zhao Luo stood in front of his apparitions.

"Five of you will keep on repeating what you have been doing on that ring."

Zhao Luo said as he pointed at the ring on the left which he had created first.

The apparitions that Zhao Luo gave this to were the same five apparitions who had just been sent flying by the attack from the first drum of the fourth row.

"We will be attacking it at full force?"

One of the apparitions asked Zhao Luo as he was already over the idea of winning against the other apparitions.

"Isn't that what you all like?"

Zhao Luo questioned that apparition with a smile but he was looking at all five of them.

The five apparitions had no answer to that question as before they were overtaken by their instinct.

"Clap, Clap. Let's move now."

Zhao Luo said to them as the five apparitions moved to that ring and started beating the drum as they were doing before.

"You four will go to this ring. Remember to control your strength. Whoever gets less or more than three echoes on any drum will run a hundred laps around the two rings."

Zhao Luo told them as he had an evil smile on his face. They freaked out.

Zhao Luo had finally divided the two tasks.

This was a better way.

The apparitions can keep ln doing their task again and again before he decides to assimilate them rather than assimilating the apparitions after it has done its task once.

Thus the two groups of apparitions went over to their gove site and started doing as they were tasked.

The sound of drum beating kept on resounding in the dark space without any break.

'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.....'

One after another sounds kept on echoing in the dark space.

If others could witness this then they would have surely named this the number one performance of the New Era.

Sadly no one from the new world could watch this.

'I should try to train on controlling the strength too.'

Zhao Luo who was now free also joined the four apparitions at the ring on the right.

Just like that the hellish performance started.
