Chapter 191 Cheryl's Chronicles - Surprise, SURPRISE!!
But one thing was for sure, each of them had a presence that was too powerful for mere Ancient Deities. Though not at the level of a Demigods, it was still something around that level.
Each and every one of them, making that tens of them, as they appeared within major Continents of the Central Cardinal. Especially places that had the Armies of the Empires, resources or even places of important and powerful races.
But that was not all, within the Castles of each Empire, tens of similarly clothed beings appeared, but this time, they wore white cloaks and held Swords within their hands.
Under their robes, one could see maniacal smiles plastered upon their lips. They did not have any aura around themselves, but their swords instead, had red mist drifting over the blade.
Each sword now giving out the presence of a terrifying beast, strong enough to devour beings at a higher level of existence than ordinary semi-<Higher Existence>.
They appeared, and floated above the Castles for a while, seemingly waiting for something. And that something occurred, as one of the Swordsman suddenly laughed out without restraint.
"Kya...kakakakaka!!!"
Following it\'s outburst of laughter, that was definitely not humane, or anything of that nature, the other swordsmen followed along, as if performing a unique ritual of sorts.
" " " Kekekekeke!!! " " "
" " " KIKIKIKI!!! " " "
" " " KakakAKAKAkaka!!! " " "
Just a single one of them laughing was already bone-chilling, let alone when an entire chorus of them joined along. It was out of this world, and headache inducing.
Even Gods would feel creeped out!!
"KAKAKAKA!!!" The first white cloaked being suddenly laughed even louder, as they held the sword more tightly, and casually swung it towards the Continent below them.
ZING~
Not even giving the innumerable Deities within the Continent the chance to fly up and perceive them, that single sword slash... directly bisected the entire Continent in half!!
An entire Continent.
A place containing thousands of Regions.
Regions being individual Planetary bodies.
BOOOM!!!
And such a large body was easily bisected in half. But... who said only one swing of the sword was enough? Why not two? Why not three? Why not more?!
The other white cloaked beings also took up their Swords and one by one, swung them towards the divided Continent. The first white cloaked being swinging for the second time.
And as if they were just NPCs, the other white cloaked beings did not wait for the Swords Beams to reach the Continent before swinging their Swords for the second time, in accordance to the leader.
The boisterous and bone-chilling laughter still ringing aloud like some sort of twisted melody of the Devils themselves!!!
BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!! BOOM!!
The Rubrum Castle, was ruthlessly bisected who knew how many times, before a loud and valiant voice rang out in rage and sadness. But most importantly, rage.
"WHO DARES?!" Following the rageful voice, not even seconds later, a Domain was silently manifested, as the tens of white cloaked beings were seen within a Void that contained almost a thousand Universes.
A clear demonstration of a being still within the initial levels of being a Demigod. But it was still a terrifying power nonetheless!!
"Kakakakaka!!!"
The white cloaked being, who seemed to be the leader only laughed out in response at the face of almost a thousand Universes. No hint of fear, or hesitation within their tone.
Only boundless excitement!!!
"You dare!!!" The angry tone roared out, as the almost a thousand Universes broke down in particles and were absorbed into a valiant and mighty figure of a stout middle-aged man, with a nice goatee on his face.
"Kakaka...KAKAKAKA!!!" The white cloaked leader only laughed out even more boisterously than before, allowing the white cloak covering their body to set aflame into white flames.
Whoosh~
The flames covered even the sword within their hands, then spreading out into a ball of flames that resembled the flames on a burning candle.
"Oh no you don\'t!!" The now Universal sized angry being stretched out his hand towards the transforming white cloaked being, opting to act at the most optimum chance!!!
Unfortunately, he was too... weak. And too slow!!
WOOSH~
A Sword Beam flashed.
Silence.
The giant hand capable of using thousands of Galactic clusters as toys, suddenly froze.
The Domain itself froze.
The Void within the Domain, froze.
Even the white flames burning the white cloaked being froze. Everything seemed to have frozen for just an instant. Only an instant. As right after that...
"...."
The giganctic hand of a Universal sized being, suddenly separated from their entire being, slightly below the shoulders. And at the exact same time, the white flames covering the white cloaked being were pushed away by a mighty force.
"KAKAKAKAKA!!!" With their true form released, the white cloaked leader suddenly laughed out loud, as it\'s slightly hunched back figure slowly licked its lips excitedly.
A metallic humanoid body, with two pure red blades extended out from its lower arms, and legs that resembled long needles, sharp enough to tear through space itself, appeared before the flabbergasted Demigod.
"What on Terra... are you?" His words were filled up with shock as he questioned. But the white cloaked, no, the devilish creature before him only laughed at him and burst forth at Instantaneous speed!!
...!!!
Even someone who had the Speed worth almost a thousand Universal light years per hour, which was tens of billions of light years per second, failed to merely follow!!
But right at that moment—
「How strange. Why is a Sword Fiend, one of these treacherous and perverted creatures located here? Weren\'t they supposed to be locked up within the Nine Purgatories?」
Suddenly, an old voice that carried ancient solemnness vibrated throughout the whole domain. Just the sound waves alone traveling faster than the thing he considered a Sword Fiend, and halting time for a moment.
「It does not matter. I have promised a certain misfortunate child that I will protect his Empire, and that I shall do. So forgive my bluntness, but please... perish」
Though the person speaking was niether here, nor was their tone hurried, their voice was still faster than time itself. And their power... it was truly devastating!!!
Tyrannical!!
And Majestic!!!
Breaching through the Domain of yet another being, Killing off not one, but tens of Demigod-level existence, with just words alone!!
What was not Tyrannical, if not that?
「Haaah~」
The voice echoed out for the last time, as with this sigh, time moved once again, and the Demigod... was left flabbergasted within his Domain.
"...."
He could only cancel out his Domain manifestion, as his body reappeared above the sinking Rubrum Castle.
The pain causing through his severed hand being ignored at the moment. His gaze staring more intently at an Oldman, who floated serenely and calmly above the sinking Rubrum Empire.
His gaze was vacant. And besides him, was a certain nephew of his he knew very well as a talented future King, along with his personal guard, Albert.
Everything happened so fast, and so unexpected that he did not know what was actually going on. And as he looked at the innumerable Continents within their Domain...
Some of them were experiencing devastating damage, no different from that of the Rubrum Castle. His gaze slowly turning solemn, as he wondered...
Which stupid rival Empire was behind this.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that, these were the same thoughts that the other rival Empires had. And most of them, did not have saving graces such as the old man.
They... were not as fortunate.
Rubrum Empire
Mother Sanctuary
Within the Mother Sanctuary, above the clouds, where a certain True Goddess resided with her two healthy and beautiful daughters.
~~~
Cheryl ordered the gathering of all powerhouses that were under her name. Specifically, the six Peak leaders, and Almeida herself. The ten initial Angels were also here.
The six sisters who used to be nothing but Nuns a decade back, were now full fledged Deity Lords equivalent, with multiple Stars circulating within their Inner Zones.
While the more terrifying Almeida was a Deity King equivalent, in the midst of nurturing her fortieth Nebulous Galaxy, and was aiming to to start nurturing a single one into a Nebulous Galactic Cluster.
Their power decreased from being pseudo-Immortals when they truly consolidated their Spirit Qi into Immortal Qi, abd genuinely became Immortals.
The Archangels did not fall back either, as they were also currently Deity Lords as well, having multiple Stars within their Inner Realm as well.
And Cheryl herself, was a High True God, with Deity King prowess. If at full power, she could match even Ancient Deities to a stand still, for a period of time.
This, was what the Slump Area had turned into. A small world of its own, with powerful Deities at the peak. Even she, herself, was impressed in all the changes.
And these changes, were for special occasions such as the current one. Occasions where they could shine brightly at times of danger and apocalypse.
And gather more believers!!
