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.
"You- You crazy bastards!"
Tremendous shock was all the will of the Demon World felt as it fully realized what this connection signified. It felt the connection towards two worlds a vast distance away, but even more so was the connection with the being that was just threatening it.
Over the vast distances of the Universe, Noah's Homeworld and the Beast World were undergoing yet another change as the abundant amount of essence from the much larger world began flowing towards them.
The density of essence in the atmosphere began to rapidly increase as any beings that could sense the energy felt the conditions around them improve significantly. The Demon World had stopped trembling and stabilized as a few changes occurred in it as well, they just were not noticeable to the general public.
"You're betting the lives of billions of creatures on the shoulders of one being?! No, even before that, how were you even able to achieve such a rule shattering feat?!"
A bombardment of questions was all that came out from the will of the Demon World as it gained an understanding of just what had occurred. A cheated feeling came out as it realized the being in front of it, Noah, was not able to devour anything at this level with the power he currently held.
The connection that was established was also not one where it held the reigns of control, even though the core of the Demon World held much more reserves of essence that matched the large world. As the one under threat who did not resist the establishment of the connection, it was actually in a lesser position even while being more powerful than both the two Worlds it was connected to.
It was cheated and now connected to a bunch of crazed entities who actually undertook such crazy risks!
"We're all tied together now, and I am actually curious about the ability you created for the Rulers that allowed them to escape True Death from normal means so that the issue of billions of lives doesn't weigh too heavily on me."
Noah released the form of the Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra, as he appeared in his still Atlantean form with shining golden hair. He felt a burst of pride from being able to achieve a smooth connection to a Large World, effectively advancing their power by a whole other level.
What made it even better was the fact that the world they had connected to had the unique ability that allowed those it chose to not be able to experience True Death from normal means. If there was a possibility for Noah to obtain that for himself…
He was hopeful, but a part of him knew it might not even be a possibility. There was a period of silence as the will of the Demon World continued to receive feedback of information from the new connection that just formed, gaining further understanding and calming down.
After spending a few minutes absorbing all the new information, an intense feeling of power and greed slowly began to fill the core of the Demon World as it finally understood the significance of the actions those two worlds had taken with the being they were connected to.
The resplendent core turned all of its attention towards Noah as many thoughts bloomed.
'With this being...with this absurd disregard of universal laws...haha!'
Euphoria erupted as the will of the Demon Word put the pieces together and saw all the grand possibilities. The euphoria slowly died down as it answered the question asked just before.
"Granting you anything close to that will be nearly impossible."
Along with the ridiculous boost that this one being could access, there also came the downside that the fall of any one of them, but more specifically the human in front of it, would be catastrophic for all of them. If it was possible to give the privilege that the Rulers of the Demons World enjoyed to him…
But alas, laws existed that would prevent such a ridiculous situation from being born!
"You already succeeded in breaking universal laws when you established the first channel, trying to break even more laws to erase the restriction placed after the breaking of the first law will be even harder."
Yes! The fact that Noah's death meant the death of the world he was connected to was the huge price, the huge demerit to pay for the creation of a channel that allowed him to tap into the endless reserves of an entire planet.
"These 72 lines you see are my own attempt to bypass the many universal restrictions, and many of them are dim and broken as you have been busy killing off the beings I raised with them"
The impassive tone Noah had been used to from the wills of Worlds came out as the core of the Demon World reigned in its emotions.
"The restriction I faced was that I could not create any more than 72, and I could not reestablish them if any of the beings actually faced True Death. So in your case, it would not be possible either. But…"
Shocking words came out of the now stabilized core of the Demon World as it continued.
"But, if you can break such major laws already, what's breaking a few more?"
Noah's eyes shined with light as he thought of this possibility. He reveled in the new reality as he realized the huge enemy that was the Demon World had been brought under his heel and was now even connected to him as yet another endless reserve of mana to tap into, this one especially huge as it was a Large World. There also existed a possibility of gaining the perk that all Rulers had…
"I don't know how long it will take as this will be something completely different, with you being especially unique in this regard. Don't have any high hopes and continue to be vigilant though, as your death would now affect three Worlds."
The invisible pressure that was always pressing down was made more apparent as the words from the enemy core turned into an ally continued.
"About that, you should head back up and stabilize things on the surface. Those...responsible for past mistakes have already faced true death. Any more destruction now and you would actually be reducing your own forces that you can use in the future."
A reminder came from the Demon World as Noah was still relishing the new changes. Yet another one was occurring now as something unique was occurring with the successful establishment of the connection with the Demon World.
"Something that I can easily do now is this, allowing you a level of command over the remaining Rulers."
A brilliant red light erupted from Noah's chest as something was being etched deep into his skin. Like an ink wrapping around his chest, it pervaded throughout as a menacingly gorgeous tattoo was etched onto his body.
OONG!
When it was complete, a red light pulsed out as the coronation of a being that could not be considered a Ruler yet held the power over them began.
