Chapter 212 - The Ruler of Demons II

A few minutes passed as Noah rushed out from the deepest layer of the Demon World and made his way up. The instant his body broke out of the earth, his aura spread out as it returned with something new.

A sense of grandeur that was not there before presented itself, especially so to the Demons as they felt something they had only felt when looking at Baal, and yet it seemed different.

Noah's gaze took in everything that was happening as he looked towards the castle where Agares still stood. The second-ranked Ruler was looking at him stupidly after he rose up, his senses informing him much more what the significance of the aura that had erupted in front of them was.

OONG

His rise into the skies was accompanied by a rumbling of the world itself as the blood-red tattoo on his chest shined out.

The Calamities, Humans, and Beast forces that had taken down the targetted Rulers watched on as these same enemies were shaken while looking towards Noah. Soon, they began to kneel down one by one as a single mental message replayed itself in their minds. It was a shocking message telling them to kneel as they looked at the figure in the skies!

The PHANTASMAL ranked Agares nodded like he finally understood and also kneeled down, followed by every other Ruler as they looked forward stupidly.

"Dude, what the f.u.c.k did you do?"

Words that could only be heard by Noah traveled to his ears as he found the figure of Barbatos appearing in the distance, looking at him in shock.

"I can kneel for you when doing other activities, but I don't like getting a constantly repeating mental message telling me to do that now."

The Necromancer of Chaos had a troubling expression as she found a familiar aura she didn't like on Noah's body as he floated and was cradled in the skies like some important being. Noah saw this and sent a command to the tattoo inscription on his chest as a change was immediately felt by Barbatos. The feeling of wanting to pay respects that was on the minds of every other Demon disappeared in her mind right away.

"Relax, I don't plan to put anyone on a leash, especially someone as cr- err, especially someone like you, I know how much you value your freedom."

"Hmph"

A harrumph was all he heard back as the Necromancer of Chaos looked towards him displeasingly, while every other Demon kneeled down and paid their respects to him. It was a spectacular sight for anyone watching as the invader they should have been spiteful at was the same being they were paying their respects to now.

Under the observation of every single being present in the Demon World, a new Ruler that did not share the biggest perk that other Rulers enjoyed but had a level of command over them was crowned.

The inhabitants of the Demon World were listening to the commands of their world and paying respects to their new Ruler.

The portion of time after that was a long period of adjustment as many things had to be figured out.

Noah's goals were clear in his mind as he continued exchanging messages with the 2nd ranked Ruler, Agares. The plans for the Demon World would not just end here, but he would take the victor's role and reap the rewards that came with subjugating a world and its inhabitants.

For the Demon World, the Power Jewels created from Abyss Magic were the things that would become a major resource that Noah would extract to strengthen the inhabitants of the worlds he was connected to.

The Power Jewels could be used to enhance the skills of anyone using them, giving a boost in power that only increased when the 'Corrupted' skills were later combined. It would serve as another resource to rapidly propel the strength of the beings that used the unique system that the will of Noah's World instituted.

This wasn't to mention the deep troves of treasures that the Demon World had collected for the hundreds of years from the many worlds that its Rulers had been actively moving to and looting.

Days passed as the same things that had occurred when Noah's homeworld and the Beast World had established their connection were happening yet again, with the only difference being a sense of animosity remaning in the air when it came to the Demon World.

With Noah in place, not a single being stepped out of line, they began moving forward together. There were now three worlds connected to him, and they would all be moving towards the same goal of survival from here on out.

He took some time aside for himself as he checked the newest loot from taking down the PHANTASMAL ranked Ruler that held yet another one of the Seven Deadly Sins skills.

The [Imperial Phoenix] from the Beast World had aimed for and ripped apart Asmodeus who was responsible for the destruction of the Draconic Kingdom, in turn gaining a skill from the Seven Deadly Sins series herself, obtaining the Sin of L.u.s.t.

Noah was curious about the continued use of these spectacular skills as he observed the one he obtained himself.

{Seven Deadly Sins- Pride} One of the Seven Deadly Sins unique to the Demon World. Abilities include [Pride Manipulation ], [Pride Embodiment ], [Sun Throw].

[Pride Manipulation ] The user can induce extremely high or low levels of pride in others, causing them to lose contact with reality or overestimate their own abilities. Cannot be applied to oneself.

[Pride Embodiment] :: When meeting foes holding a higher level of strength, the user gains the power of hubris itself. This power can be used to strengthen attacks or defenses. The level of enhancement is dependent on the true pride lying deep in the user's heart, which could be nurtured to grow so large that nothing is allowed to overshadow it!

[Sun Throw] Those that dare to stand against the holder of the Sin of Pride can only be punished by a blazing star.

The skill lived up to its name as yet another killer Ultimate Skill, and Noah could not wait to see all the ways he could put it to use. He was also able to use {Gluttony} on Marbas, being successful in devouring the Ruler and using the spectacular features of [Devouring] and [Library] which allowed him to directly break down the body of the powerful ruler to continue maxing his PHANTASMAL attributes without even absorbing cores, as well as obtain all his memories and the option to choose 2 skills

His aims were completed with the Demon World and he would now continue to move forward as he strove to improve his strength even more while exploring the vast universe that held many spectacular creatures, treasures, and also unknown dangers.

He held a level of confidence as he continued to gain strength while also learning to be even more careful. His gaze was already looking ahead towards the World of Cultivation as he pondered the best way to begin his adventure there. What awaited him in this Prime World which was filled with powerful beings and unknown wonders?
