69.87% Monarch of Darkness, Arsene / Chapter 919: Distort

章節 919: Distort

After finishing an oddly satisfying and sweet breakfast, Mephisto and I walked towards the empty training courtyard, where he began explaining more about the concept of Illusions and Black Sabbath.

While I didn't need an explanation as the Flames of Hellfire, I mean Flames of the Abyss, had held every conceivable type of Heavenly Dao within its core, I still found myself engraved in his lecture.

Mephisto did not teach by telling me how illusions work but rather how to apply their applications.

"Illusions are a part of life, but if you diverge from what the heavens layout, and dive into the mortal concept of this law, one could theoretically image a solid multiverse like the Origin Realm as an illusion. If the user, in this case, you, were to, let's say, actually believe this was a dream or an illusion, wouldn't you be able to control existence as you see fit? Now I know you just gained some ability that allows you to bend reality to your will, but everything has a limit. Your will has a limit. With the help of the illusionary dao helping think of the possibilities."

Continuing for about thirty minutes, I found my mind expanding at the many things I could potentially do.

Darkness, unlike fire, is intangible and lacks substance like other elements like ice, fire, or lightning. Those elements carry destructive properties, but darkness isn't necessarily a destructive element, more like a passive one. Its primary power comes from its intangibility and devouring properties.

"Darkness. Darkness. Darkness." I hummed seven times over, trying to figure out how to apply illusions into my darkness. Clearly. They go together, but for some reason, I can't think of— Wait!

Mephisto smiled. " You get it now?"

"Illusions are like my Darkness. They are intangible, but they have hundreds more applications than my darkness. If I imagine my darkness as fuel for my illusions, couldn't I create life out of said darkness? I could essentially give my darkness the same application as every single dao instead of piggybacking off them as I did with fire. I could create life."

"Correct. It's with my Illusions I regulated heaven and earth as the Architect. Only two beings are truly 'real,' Arsene. And that is the One and the All. So worry not if what you create is real or not; the difference between creation laws and Illusions are but a flip of the coin. It simply comes down to the question of who decides what's real and what isn't. And the only one who can decide that is—"

"The Father, GOD."

"And he rarely interferes, and even if he does, nothing changes as the question will come down to the eyes of the beholder. Illusions are complex but necessary." He explained as my mind went blank.

"Just how much of creation did you help with?" I asked.

"Most of it, I guess. My Father had a lot of pet projects, but I did quite a bit, so I've got a full grasp of every single Dao and Concept. Although so do other Angels."

"Come again?"

The Trickster smiled. " Relax. It's not as bad as you might think. Angels are born with an innate ability to comprehend just about anything with the help of the Law of Concordance that makes us whole. If we spend a cycle learning a Dao, we can learn said concept quite easily."

"How the hell can I relax when you say it like that? How long have Zantar and Balor been alive!"

"Easy. Ninety-eight percent of Angels and Fallen don't just study dao. If anything, we look down upon it, as we are beings that are technically above the Concepts of Heaven and Earth. While we might be enslaved to them, for example, death, Angels will work more on Mortal Dao and technique."

"Technique?" I repeated.

"We are a race of warriors. Lucifer is an absolute monster in hand-to-hand combat. My 'main' specialty is Arcane Spells. Our goal is to make our techniques rival the concepts; while we are still far on that path, we've come close with the invention of almighty techniques."

"And let me guess. That was your doing?" I said, unable to find myself surprised anymore.

"Not to toot my own horn, but yes. Although I was surprised when Zariel did something similar, creating a new path in battle prowess." snickering, his hand grew poised behind his back as he stared me down. " You've got a nice tool. Tenebrae is one I respect; she is, after all, our aunt. Her power goes far beyond what you can think. Think on it more; I'm going to visit our old friend Belphegor."

Mephisto vanished, leaving behind embers of light that faded away. I watched the nodes flutter about, slowly slipping from my eyes, and my mind began to think of energy and the body.

I opened my palm and spoke. "Rule!"

Darkness swelled within my palm, and an invisible domain suddenly formed, covering me alongside the courtyard.

"Devour," I whispered.

Darkness swelled to life, and in a blink of an eye, everything around me vanished, consumed by the Darkness.

"Long ago, I created a technique that did something similar. I never used it. But it essentially sealed a person's qi alongside elements and laws, which was useless, as everyone was stronger than me at the time. It was a perfect technique but poorly executed. Instead of trying to stop the flow of Qi, why not ensure Divinity has nowhere to go? I can't target the Divinity itself; it's too powerful, but instead, it must be the flow. I need to direct the Divinity to the vast expanse.

Sucking in a large breath, the invisible void around me began to distort as I focused on a single entity. The flow in which Divinity travels. Imagining a world without Qi, or Divinity. The path of Abyssal Night alongside my Divinity of Sin began to hum as I pushed my will out to the darkness.

The Black Estate flared to life as hundreds of runes began to pierce into the skies, alerting everyone of an enemy attack, but I could not stop. Not now.

Holding back the energy slowly building up, my 'Rule' expanded over the entire estate, Granting me all the control; the Abyssal Laws howled as my voice raced into creation.

"Distort."


章節 920: Raziel's Army

Sensing High to Elder God, guards stagger to their knees for a moment. My eyes went wide as the distortion field vanished. And I knew I had just created a trump card. To disrupt the flow of Divinity, if even for a second, was to stop the entire battle.

Pondering how I could amplify such a technique with the Dao of illusion, I couldn't help but smile as hundreds of guards came my way, weapons at the ready as they surrounded me with flushed expressions. I raised my hands to surrender.

"It's just me. I was trying out a new technique. How'd you like it?" I inquired, studying the faces of the various Elder Gods and High Gods. "I'll also take stun silence," I added, noting the gloomy stillness.

Standing awkwardly, unsure what to do, I suddenly paused and narrowed my eyes as I sensed Freya near the gate to the estate. Sensing something wrong, I wasted no time as I shadowed step near the entrance.

I stared at the blood stains on her gown, and my eyes narrowed as she stood still with an icy stare, " What happened? " I asked.

"The Court of Nox is working with Raziel." She said, taking me by surprise.

"Explain."

She spat a slew of blood from her lips, bruised and busted. A well of anger began to take root within my heart, yet my mind remained icy cold. Thoughts ran without the various sins, touching upon my soul.

"Aiza ambushed me alongside a few angels," She explained. " I tried contacting you, but they had this strange device that stopped any outside communication."

Aiza. That twat. Fuck. My past self was a fucking idiot. Jesus, if I could travel back in time, I'd kick that fucker in the head.

"There's more. Aiza. She's a Nephilim now. I don't know what happened, but her power and battle prowess had a massive spike. While I'm sure she's not at your level, genesis equipment puts her on another level."

"Have you contacted the other founders?"

"I wasn't able to get through, but master, most of them were on our side since we entered the abyss. We gave them a massive chance to defend themselves against the Overworld." Said Freya a little frantically.

"Blackwater! You bastard!"

Paying no mind to Valice storming towards me with a furious expression, my eye focused on Freya as I raised my hand. Think of what Mephisto said; the darkness around my hand suddenly swelled into action as a dark violet light began to surge.

Using the darkness as fuel, I watched Freya's injuries fade. The Intent held within the wounds started to fade as the devouring power of darkness withered the Intent away while also healing at a blinding rate.

"If you can't contact them, then something is wrong, and we've been betrayed. But nothing has changed. That was within the well of possibilities. Mimir is, after all, slaughtering their entire organization with the help of a Paragon."

"Have Jinx meet me. I want to know what the hell happened within her clan. Even if devils and demons are running wild, they are off the abyss. It's embarrassing seeing them so pathetically weak."

"Already done, my Lord. " Said Freya sternly. " Jinx is on the way. But it seems like a few paragons aided in the attack. Nevertheless, we've got bigger issues."

"Blackwater, you ass, don't you—"

"Raziel is gathering an army. When I was escaping last night, I ran west and saw a massive league of Angels armed to a T. Things are getting serious. Something is about to happen."

My brow jumped, and my eyes snapped to Valice, " Send your husband a message. Tell him to get his people out of the city. Everyone weaker than high god is at risk. Do it now. And to it silently."

"Freya, your with me," I said, placing my arm around her shoulders. I shadowed step into Ezra's chambers.

"KILL HIM!!!!" A voice bellowed, taking me by surprise as the sounds of gunfire entered my ear, followed by a searing pain in my shoulder as something ran through me. Nevertheless, I dodged the other twelve incoming flashes with a few shadow steps.

Blood spilled out, but I did not attempt to reveal any anguish as my forsaken qi flared with wild abandonment disintegrating every weapon and armor from the small squad waiting for me in Ezra's chamber.

"Eh?" They all said, and heads rolled as my spear began to reap lives without discretion.

"Master, are you alright?" Freya asked, touching my shoulder where I was shot.

"I'm fine," I said, knowing my body was as strong as an elder god. "It's a through and through. I was careless. They seem to have taken into account my Shadow Step ability. It was a good trap." I said as the darkness began to mend my injuries. "Seems I've got to be more careful."

Pushing out my senses, I picked up on the few hundred soldiers rushing to my location; many of them who approached held a tainted Seraphic Qi and a few with demonic qi. Ignoring them for now, my mind began to expand as the darkness became my eyes, and I saw Ezra covered in wounds racing through the city above. By her side was the Chosen of Nox, bleeding a deadly amount of killing Intent.

Leading Ezra and the others, however, was Lilith, free of injuries as I could sense she was using Into The Abyss.

"What do you see, Master?"

"Deadmen," I answered. "Everyone greatly benefited from being in this godless realm. It seems like the Bed of Chaos will rise to fame after this excursion; never would I imagine that, even as a god, a simple gun would be so terrifying."

"Rule," I uttered, lifting my hand as an invisible sphere appeared. I clenched my fist, "Devour." And as if my word was law, everything around me withered away, leaving nothing behind but an empty building connected to the Stadium.

Killing everyone within Ezra's slave stable, I opened my palm and snatched their souls, allowing the pure essence of the soul to become armor for Freya and myself. "This armor should stop us from being shot in the head. But there's a limit so take everything you see seriously."

"Yes, Master."
