章 196: Agreement
Reappearing in Aincrad, this time Noah entered with his original body. Aincrad was no longer just a virtual world; it was beginning to form into a real world, albeit still incomplete due to the laws governing it. The NPCs in Aincrad could no longer be distinguished from real living beings. However, because Aincrad was not yet fully complete, their existence was not entirely made of flesh and blood.
If Noah returned to the outside world, he would see that the globe representing the real world of SAO now had an additional small transparent sphere attached to it. This small transparent sphere represented the nascent world of Aincrad that had not yet fully formed.
Noah floated in the sky above Aincrad, observing the world beginning to take shape beneath him before vanishing and reappearing in a separate dimension where a crystal representing The Seed, the core of Aincrad's laws, spun gracefully, emitting an enticing light. However, the presence of Baalram, a demon figure with a goat's head, made the atmosphere tense.
"You are here, Vermilion," Baalram said with a booming voice.
Noah gazed at Baalram with sharp eyes. "So this is your goal, Baalram? I never expected Aincrad to become a young world just beginning to grow with incomplete laws," Noah replied, his voice calm as if unfazed by Baalram's intentions.
Baalram smirked, "Now is the time to claim power over this new world. With incomplete laws, I can create entities and reshape Aincrad's laws to my liking."
Noah sensed energy flowing around Baalram, and his divine power activated automatically. "With me here, don't ever think you can succeed."
Without warning, Baalram launched a wave of darkness, charging toward Noah. "Hoho, don't you desire Aincrad as well? Don't speak as if I'm the only one who wants it."
Noah swiftly dodged the attack, maneuvering to the side.
"I am the Rule of the Sky! Conquering a thousand with a hundred! Conquering ten thousand with a thousand! Conquering tens of thousands with thousands! Oh lightning, oh storm, oh rain! Hear my call, come forth! Destroy the enemies before me!"
Quickly, Noah invoked the authority of the Rule of the Sky, enveloping the dimension in a storm of lightning. The raging storm struck Baalram with tremendous force.
However, Baalram remained unfazed. He raised his hand, absorbing Noah's attack with his dark power.
Baalram launched his next attack—a wave of darkness sweeping everything in its path. Noah quickly dodged, soaring upward before counterattacking with the authority of the Sun.
"For the sake of victory, rush forth before me! Oh Eternal Sun, I implore you to illuminate that stallion. Oh stallion that moves like a god with majestic grace, bring forth your master's halo!" Accompanied by the sound of neighing, a white horse with golden light descended from the sky like a flash of light, striking Baalram alongside the wave of darkness.
Facing this attack, Baalram created multiple layers of dark shields around him. An explosion occurred, shattering the silence of the world.
Baalram staggered but quickly regained his strength.
"Do you think that's enough to take me down?" He grinned, forming a massive dark energy ball in his hands and then launching it toward Noah. The ball immediately split into thousands of small dark orbs filling the sky.
In response to Baalram's assault, lightning in the sky quickly formed thousands of lightning spears that collided with Baalram's attack, creating an explosion that shook the entire dimension. Dark clouds and shining light danced in a destructive display, creating a magnificent and terrifying sight. The ground trembled, and the sky rumbled with an unavoidable roar.
Noah gave no chance for Baalram to recover. He charged forward, unleashing an attack with incredible speed, creating a series of lightning bolts that shot like arrows toward his enemy.
However, Baalram absorbed the energy again, and with an evil grin on his face, he reversed the attack. He let out a bone-shaking roar, creating a wave of fire that flowed like a tsunami toward Noah.
Noah was forced to leap back, dodging the threatening wave of darkness.
"High wave, hear this call,
From the blue ocean, come to us.
With the power of the gods, I summon you,
Great tsunami, rise in time!"
A massive tsunami emerged from the thin air and collided with Baalram's wave of dark fire. The entire dimension immediately transformed into an ocean divided between water and fire.
Their battle continued, making the entire dimension tremble. Every attack, every power, shook the foundations of this developing world. Noah and Baalram exchanged blows, sunlight and darkness clashing, creating stunning and destructive explosions.
Feeling concerned about the impact of their fight, Noah exerted all his abilities to withstand Baalram's assault.
"We can't keep this up, Baalram. If we destroy this world, neither of us will gain anything."
Baalram nodded, realizing that this endless battle would only harm them both. "Then how about we make a deal? We'll use our warriors to determine the winner."
Noah stared at Baalram, considering the offer. "What do you propose?"
"The battleground is the earth. We will use our warriors and let them fight. Whoever wins gets claim over Aincrad," Baalram said, his smile conveying confidence.
"Very well."
Noah nodded slowly and activated the authority of the contract to prevent Baalram from breaking the agreement.
"Vermilion…!" Feeling the binding power, Baalram glared at Noah in anger. With the contract in place, Baalram could only adhere to the rules they had agreed upon.
"Only a fool believes the words of a demon," Noah said with a smirk before sitting down and closing his eyes. Noah's consciousness entered the dimensional vessel and granted Oracle to every warrior of the Vermilion Kingdom.
...
The inhabitants of the Vermilion Kingdom live peaceful and prosperous lives in every world. Each world is filled with natural beauty and diverse cultures, creating a unique harmony. In the kingdom's capital, there are magical gates that connect these worlds, allowing the exchange of knowledge, traditions, and resources among its people.
Supernatural powers also flow throughout the kingdom, influencing daily life. The god Vermilion, the ruler of war, sky, storms, sea, life, and death, protects and guides his people. He has the ability to summon storms, create magnificent ocean waves, and regulate the cycles of life and death.
The Vermilion society is rich in tradition and art, celebrating diversity through vibrant festivals. In every celebration, they express gratitude to God Vermilion for his blessings and protection. In difficult situations, these supernatural powers become decisive, maintaining balance and security.
With a spirit of unity and mutual respect, the inhabitants of the Vermilion Kingdom are committed to preserving peace and beauty in their world. Under the guidance of God Vermilion, they stand ready to face any challenges that may come, ensuring eternal harmony in this grand kingdom.
"Hearken, warriors and loyal followers."
The voice of God Vermilion echoed in the dark sky, breaking the kingdom's peace.
"Another world is now threatened, demons spreading terror,
With courage and strength, we must fight."
"Listen, warriors,
Speak your bravery,
Crush the darkness that threatens!
And uphold justice in this world!"
"With every attack,
With every soul that fights,
Vermilion stands with you,
Let us bring victory!"
"Stand firm, Vermilion warriors,
It is time for war,
Advance, with the spirit and protection of God Vermilion!"
Noah's voice resonated in the ears of every Vermilion warrior. Hearing the war command, the long-silent war machines of the Vermilion Kingdom began operating at high speed. The kingdom's generals started organizing the warriors, preparing for the impending war.
....
Not only the soldiers of the Vermilion Kingdom heard Noah's voice, but also the women. They gathered in the villa located within the dimensional ark, discussing the demons they would face. The most eager among them was Esdeath, who loved battle.
Inside the magnificent villa, in the dimensional ark, the women assembled. Esdeath, with her sharp gaze, stood by the window, looking outside with anticipation. She hadn't fought seriously since her last battle in the God Slayer world. Normally, Esdeath would train with the others, but since they weren't enemies, she couldn't unleash her deadly attacks.
After some discussions, they decided to carry out their respective activities. Euphemia quickly returned to the Vermilion Kingdom in the Code Geass world to lead the soldiers, accompanied by C.C. Meanwhile, Esdeath returned to the Akame ga Kill world to gather her warriors alongside Akame. On the other side, Erica, along with Edelweiss and the others, headed back to the God Slayer world to lead the knights and mages in the Italian and Japanese magic associations.
