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 h.e.l.lfire], 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 pa.s.s 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 pa.s.sed 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 pa.s.sing 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 ent.i.ties fully. Devoured ent.i.ties 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 ent.i.ties 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 s.h.i.+ned 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 ent.i.ty 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.
