He simply located a small unknown world that didn't have any powerful figures and used the beasts they enslaved from the Beast World to do their bidding. These simple actions had resulted in a catastrophic loss of life that many mourned till this day. Yet, Noah was looking at the perpetrator of all of this who was fearfully struggling in front of him now.
The being in front of him seemed so weak, weak enough that he would be able to give him true death in the blink of an eye. It seemed unbelievable that someone of his calibre was responsible for such egregious actions. Noah didn't feel any sort of contentment or happiness from looking at the face of this being that was the root cause of the apocalypse in his world. He only found himself thinking of the past that could not be changed no matter what he did now.
But, even though the past could not be changed, he could make sure that something like it never happens again!
His gaze turned stern as Belial felt his body constrict to the point where his bones almost broke.
OONG
New arrivals neared the position where they were at as Kazuhiko, Steel Mikhail, and other humans from Noah's world raised their weapons at the Demon Legion that Belial commanded. Information had been disseminated long ago on who their targets would be, and the first one they wanted was the one responsible for the death and destruction in their world.
Steel Mikhail had a dark face as his body was lifted into the air by a golden shining shield as he arrived in the skies where Belial was struggling. His thick voice resounded out.
"Please leave him to us."
The voice was firm and strong, filled with extreme anger as Mikhail looked at the weak figure responsible for so much pain. Noah gave a nod as the body of the Demon King fell towards Mikhail who clutched the demon at the neck and floated down towards the throngs of humans.
Noah observed this as well as the movements of the three Mythical Beasts as they targetted Asmodeus who had taken down the Draconic Kingdom, as well as the other Rulers that were present in the Beast World.
The Calamities were acting as support as they took charge to make sure there were no casualties on the Humans' and Beasts' side, their strength being powerful enough to wipe out all the Rulers with the verdict of death if they wished to.
Noah's gaze travelled to one of the very few remaining PHANTASMAL ranked Rulers of the Demon World who was watching all of these events with a pained expression, but did not make a single action against it. He thought about the Ultimate Skill that this being called the Tactician carried as he nodded his head and transferred himself above the castle Agares was on. This being would be a key figure to the plans he had for the Demon World.
"I won't talk to you about unfairness or revenge, only what will happen after this."
His voice only entered Agares's ears as the mentally defeated Ruler continued to use his Ultimate Skill to see the paths of survival in front of him. He was watching beings he had worked with for years be killed in front of his eyes, and he did not have the power to do anything about it. He did not act before, and he would not act now as he saw only one path to survival, their subjugation.
This was something completely foreign to him, a concept he would have never thought his world would ever fall to. Baal had gone across to conquer a few worlds and instil his forces there to obtain a continued source of resources and manpower. Now, their world would be falling under the same predicament. A sigh of defeat escaped Agares as he worked to prevent the obliteration of the entire species of the Demon Race as he replied to the words of the fearsome Hydra.
"How can this old man be of service?"
Large black wings erupted out as the PHANTASMAL ranked Ruler of the Demon World bowed down towards the figure in the skies. This astonishing sight from one of the powerful remaining beings in the Demon World made the beings that Noah uttered the names of despair as every other Ruler looked on with pained expressions.
They understood that they could not stand against the powerful beings invading them, that to defy them would mean the true deaths of many, if not all them.
They felt the same feelings many other worlds had felt when their forces were rampantly spread for the purposes of expansion. They felt the unfairness as they could not even defend themselves. They were observing first hand the process of a Large World being subjugated under the rule of an Invader.
Noah looked to the bowing Agares as his voice travelled through the air yet again.
"Let's talk about the Demon World's Power Jewels."
…
While many events were occurring throughout the large Universe, in a small little corner, a momentous event had occurred.
An entire Large World was brought to its knees.
Chapter 209 - A Threat That Makes a World Tremble!
In the span of a few hours, every single Ruler that had directly or indirectly moved against the Beast World and Noah's homeworld had faced True Death at the hands of the very same beings they had targetted some time ago.
The remaining Rulers underwent a painful experience of watching those they knew and lived with for years call them cowards as they could not even lift a finger to help them, all for the sake of preserving their own livelihood. There were many times where some Rulers were ready to disregard logic and fight along with the targetted Rulers, but Agares's voice would come right after to command them to stand down.
When the dust settled, blood ran through the streets of the Demon Capital.
Anger seemed to be seething from the surroundings as the will of the Demon World was making its boundless rage apparent at the treatment of its powerful forces.
Noah came to a stop as he was about to begin discussing the issue of Power Jewels with Agares when he felt the extreme strength of a world that could do nothing but watch the events unfold. There was a possibility of something huge that he wanted to try out after gaining a particular new skill, and he might have a chance to test it now.
"Hold on."
He looked past Agares and left the forces of the Humans, Beasts, and Calamities as he sent a message, and then his large body dove down towards the ground next to the huge castle. Multiple [Radiation Queen's Swords] appeared and rotated around him rapidly as they aimed towards the ground below. Yet another skill was cast as Noah layered blazing flames that never extinguished on the already poisonous swords by casting [Sundering Hellfire], his figure increasing in speed as he dove down even faster.
BOOM!
An explosive sound resounded as his large body began drilling through the earth of the Demon World.
RUMBLE
It was a shocking turn of events as many had thought events were coming to a close. Noah's figure was moving through the ground at an ever so increasing pace as he had a single goal in mind, the deepest layer of the Demon World where the Planetary Core resided!
This was where the will of the Demon World continued to let out threatening power that it could not use, the centermost location of a world that even its inhabitants never came close to!
VOOM
His pace continued even faster as more and more mana was placed into the rapidly rotating [Radiation Queen's Swords] that were wrapped in destructive PHANTASMAL ranked flames. Minutes seemed to pass as he could feel the seething rage intensify, and he even began to hear the whispers of the wrathful will of the Demon World itself.
His pace continued until he passed through multiple layers of the earth, the temperature around him getting hotter and hotter until the very earth itself took on a deep shade of red. His powerful body that was the Dictatorial Kaiju-Hydra, was not bothered one bit as he spent a few more minutes passing from the Crust and into the Mantle of the Demon World, eventually coming across the much harder and more intense Outer Core layer.
It was a process that took some time as he continued to thunder down even faster, but he eventually broke through from the layer that was the Outer Core and entered the Inner Core of the Demon World!
OONG!
Resplendent light was all that was in front of
him as the rotating blades were met with a suffocating air of extreme heat, but no more earth. Noah had broken into the Inner Core Layer of the Demon World that was actually not a solid collection of dense metal and stone.
Unknown forces were present in the air as extreme heat was coming off from the centermost location of the Inner Core. It was the most beautiful sight that Noah had ever come across as he laid his eyes on the bare form of one of the more unique and powerful forms of life in the Universe.
"You mongrel!"
A piercing voice thundered out from every direction as it bore down towards Noah, who only felt a tiny bit of pressure that he shook off as the World's Will could not have too much direct effect on him.
The voice was coming from the resplendent lights of various colors that formed into a circular formation of something that gave off a terrifying feeling. It looked to be like a constantly pulsating source of energy that continued to let out peculiar forces Noah had not come across before, the only thing close to it being the hexagonal spinning cube he was faced with when his consciousness was brought into an unfamiliar location in his homeworld.
The circular form had tendrils of red light that shone in different intensities as they came off. Noah counted 72 of them in total, and found many of them to be dim or filled with cracks, with a few remaining ones that still shone an intense red color. His eyes shone as he peered into the secrets of the Demon World as he was greedy to know even more.
His body went forward and neared the Planetary Core of the Demon World as the entire area around him continued to tremble from unknown forces and a tremendous amount of essence that felt suffocating. The body of the Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra shone a menacing red light as Noah activated a particular skill to see if he could keep this Demon World in line.
The skill was a subset of the Ultimate Skill that he received from Baal, the [Devouring] ability from the {Seven Deadly Sins- Gluttony}.
[Devouring] :: Filled with endless hunger and thirst, the user can devour their enemies and other entities fully. Devoured entities can be broken down and used to permanently increase the attributes of the user or as fuel for healing and a momentary boost in power. The mana requirement varies depending on what the target is.
Noah always loved to go over the wording of the skills multiple times, as they almost always surprised at him with their ingenuity and all the different ways they could be used. The [Devouring] ability mentioned that enemies and other entities could be devoured, with the mana requirement varying depending on what the target was.
So, how much mana would be required to use this ability on something as stupendous as the Planetary Core that now stood in front of him?
His many eyes shined a brilliant light as he knew he would not be able to do something that outrageous yet, but his goal today was to show this entity a future possibility that could befall it were it to not fall in line.
The Ultimate Skill of Gluttony was fully activated as the menacing red light continued to erupt from Noah's huge body, its target being the resplendent centerpiece of the Demon World.
Chapter 210 - A Threat That Makes the World Tremble! II
A maddening aura was spreading out in the innermost layer of the Demon World as the Planetary Core observed the being in front of it with shock. A familiar aura, a familiar concept that she had designed herself was actually being presented in its best possible form in front of her!
The ability she had created for the possible stupendous use in the future was actually right in front of her, already reaching the stage she had only dreamed of. She felt the activation and maintenance of {Seven Deadly Sin- Gluttony}, as a menacing light erupted from the being in front of her and began enveloping her very core.
Emotions that she had never felt before sprung out as a particular one pervaded throughout, it was fear. Fear and immense confusion sprung out as nothing she was seeing made sense.
How was such a thing possible?!
The ability she created at its pinnacle form would be able to do something like this, but a tremendous amount of energy would be required in order for this being to do what it was doing right now.
So how was it possible? A foreboding feeling could now be felt as the Planetary Core screamed out.
"Stop!"
---
Noah felt a tremendously large flow of mana that he had never felt before as more and more energy went into the ability of [Devouring], an expansive film of light going on to wrap around the resplendent planetary core in front of him.
The film of light became denser and denser as the seconds passed, but so was the tremendous amount of mana that just continued to gush out endlessly. He ignored the shocked screams that were booming all around him as he wanted to see how far he could go. He wanted to know what the actual possibility of doing something like this was.
He felt a new emotion of unending hunger as {Gluttony} continued to be activated, a voracious smile forming on his face. He wanted more. He wanted all of it!
RUMBLE
The entire Demon World was shaking as something occurred in the deepest core of the Large World. The Rulers turned ashen as they heard fearful screams from an entity that they would never expect it from.
In the inner core where a red light continued to expand around the resplendent planetary core, Noah's body that continued to endlessly pour out mana felt a slight tremble as a message quickly entered his head.
[That is the limit, quickly stop.]
The voice shook him out of the reverie of an emotional state that the Ultimate Skill had brought him in as the process of [Devouring] quickly came to a stop. He was surprised as he seemed to have lost himself there for a second. The voice that entered his head was the Planetary Core of his homeworld that was always observing things through Noah's eyes.
It told Noah to stop because for the first time ever, the theory he was testing required a tremendous amount of mana that put a strain on the enormous reserves of two planets!
[We barely count as Middle Worlds as of now, there is not sufficient energy to successfully devour a Large World through you, but I see a way to quickly use this to our advantage.]
Many thoughts from the Planetary Core flowed into Noah's head as the unique skill, {Parallel Thought}, worked to match all the ideas flowing in at a fast speed as a stupendous plan bloomed.
The fearful screams from the will of the Demon World stopped as it felt the threatening film of light wrapping around it slowly retreat, the figure of the three-headed hydra in front of her speaking out in a booming voice.
"That was a threat, if it wasn't clear enough."
A second passed as the resplendent planetary core remembered the foreboding feeling, releasing out words carefully.
"What...do you want?
"I could simply devour you whole and destroy your very being, or I can give you a chance for something bigger."
Noah's large body moved closer to the shining circle of resplendent mass of colors as he weaved out lies. The Demon World was a Large World that he would never be able to devour through the use of {Gluttony}, at this moment in time anyway. The mana required to use the skill varied depending on the target, and the mana reserves of the two Middle Worlds he was connected to would not be able to match the Demon World.
But it wouldn't all have to be for naught, as there existed another pathway where they could still garner great benefits through using the situation that Noah had just made the Will of the Demon World feel!
"The first process that you just saw now, you could not resist against. What I'm about to do next, you can resist against if you wish. If you don't want the option to be devoured, simply don't resist."
His words boomed out as he neared the core of the Demon World closely, and a gorgeous channel of light erupted out from the large chest of the Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra.
The words he just said were actually true. If he had the capability to use {Gluttony} on an entity like the World Core that was restricted by universal laws and could not act against hi
m, they would not be able to resist it. But the latter process he was doing now would need the permission of the target if it were to succeed.
The channel of blue and white light erupted from his chest and struck onto the resplendent Planetary Core as yet another process began to occur.
The core of the Demon World was shocked as it heard the threatening words and then felt this change. The being in front of it was trying to…
"You...What- What are you?!"
It was astounded at the process it felt, not thinking that something like it was even a possibility.
"It's either this or your destruction, do not resist."
Only a cold impassive voice replied as the will of the Demon World hesitated. It felt like the process happening now still had its own levels of danger, but recalling the devouring film of light just moments ago brought back a foreboding fear that steered the core in another direction. The hesitation was slowly lifted as it slowly opened its deepest self and let the channel of blue and white light enter its very center.
OOONG!
The connection of the channel was unstable the moment it struck, but gradually began to settle down as Noah's large body magnificently floated in the air with the planetary core right in front of it.
He was actually facilitating the connection of yet another world, something that the will of his Homeworld had only done with the Beast World some time ago. He was directly connected to both worlds, and now he acted as an Anchor to try and establish yet another connection, and this time it was with a Large World!
Chapter 211 - The Ruler of Demons I
The world rumbled as a powerful force filled the surroundings, showing the arrival of a grandiose event.
The endless channel of white light that Noah was facilitating gradually stabilized as a burst of colors erupted out from the resplendent Planetary Core of the Demon World. A shocked voice erupted right after as the core felt the changes, and the new connection that was just established with it.
