Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: The Queen

"h.e.l.lo, Themarians it is time to fight you without tricks and politics."

There were probably only about 5 themarians floating in front of Riley; all of them, just staring at Riley and looking at him from head to toe. But after a few seconds, one of them floated forward with his hands behind his back.

"Leave, Outsider," the man said; his voice filled with authority, "We have received tales about you due to the wide broadcast that was sent from the less developed parts of the universe we do not care about your rampage, it matters not to us. We are not interested in it-Leave."

"Hm," Riley just shrugged before leaning his head to the side so he could get a better look at Theran. The man, however, floated to the side to block Riley's view of it. And so, Riley could really only turn his focus back on them,

"The last time I was here, I was welcomed by much younger themarians - and they did not bother to say anything and just started to kill me. I actually much prefer that response."

"And you will get that if you do not leave," the man gestured to Riley to just fly away, "So, leave. Or we will be forced to-"

"Please." And before the man could finish his words, Riley appeared right in front of him with his eyes glowing red while grabbing the man's head. And of course, the 4 other themarians have also instantly surrounded him as he did so; their eyes also glowing. Riley did not care at all, however, as he just suddenly forced his fingers into the themarians mouth and pried open his jaw before lasering it. But as he did so, however, the man was able to close his mouth, completely biting off Riley's fingers.

"So..." Riley, however, just smiled as his fingers already regenerated. He did not even leave or fly away and just remained floating there even when surrounded, "...Use force."

And with those words, the themarians finally did as Riley said and just released the violent beams raging in their eyes; the beams, all meeting in one single point and creating a raging torrent that completely distorted the very expanse of s.p.a.ce itself.

And after a few seconds, the themarians all calmed down; their eyebrows, however, well all completely lowered as they saw that their beams had no effect at all.

Riley was still just floating there; his eyes closed and with a smile on his face.

"Truly," Riley whispered out, "The only way I could truly use all of my abilities are against all of you, and so shall we all dance?"

Riley then hugged himself, before just stretching out his limbs and creating some sort of shockwave that almost looked like it caused the darkness to ripple away - and perhaps it did, as the themarians found themselves being blown away.

And as they all separated, Riley quickly rushed toward one of them; kicking them straight on the chin the themarian, however, barely even moved his head as he just stared at Riley.

"You-" But as soon as the man spoke, Riley once again smiled as his leg just moved again. The themarian did not take heed of this at all... that is, until, his skin suddenly started to shred. It was too late, however, as Riley's foot just suddenly sliced-no, mangled his flesh and bones; it was almost as if his own head was moving on its own and being sucked into it.

The other themarians just watched with curious gazes as the upper half of their colleague's head separated from the rest of his body.

As for Riley, he just quickly grabbed the dismembered upper head, which was already regenerating another body, and threw it hard toward one of the other themarians. But of course, it was obvious that they would be able to dodge that, so Riley just quickly flew and chased the head, making sure the head would hit someone right in the face - and it did.

And since the dismembered head was on its way to recover, their two bodies began to just meld with each other; their flesh merging and mixing - creating some sort of... homunculus. "The rest of the universe seemed to have woken up a monster." Even then, however, the themarian whose body was currently being invaded by another was still extremely calm. He ripped apart the parts and flesh that had grown into him; making sure he was not damaging his colleague's head before throwing it to the other themarians,

"But here, child, you are nothing."

"I have forgotten the arrogance of the themarians," Riley smiled while covering his forehead, "Granted, you have the strength to be so - but none of you are at Esme's level at all."

"You know of-"

"Shall we take this to Theran, then?"

"!!!" And finally, the themarians all shared a collective gasp; their eyes widening as they all saw Riley just disappear, and appear from afar. They did not even see him move, at all. They all know he wasn't an evaniel since they could detect energy signatures, and even evaniels leaves some sort of trail when they run... but Riley did not leave any at all.

"Teleportation? No," even teleportation leaves some sort of trace, a b.u.mp in energy - but Riley just instantly moved. They all then looked at each other, all of them nodding in agreement that the person they just fought...

...was indeed a threat.

And so, they all rushed to chase him; flying at their full speed - the distance between them, however, did not decrease at all as they just saw Riley enter their planet's atmosphere at the same speed they were going.

"Well then..." Riley landed on an empty field at full speed. Even then, however, the ground only quaked and not cracked, "...How about a change of scenery to make myself feel at home?"

"Die, Outsider! You-"

"Pavoom."

And right as the themarian group reached him, Riley stretched his arms to the side and released a pavoom that rippled in a sphere - deleting everything in its path with ease, even Theran's almost invulnerable ground and materials. At this point, however, it was nothing to

Riley.

The ground of the Domain of the G.o.ds was harder, to the point that even someone like Esme would not be able to destroy everything with a single attack.

"Hm..." Riley then just let out a small sigh as the themarians' organs, their hardest parts, started raining from above as pavoom was not able to delete them completely. Riley did not

do anything to the organs and just let them regenerate, however.

He was already expecting it, but he truly was a lot stronger than before. But this is not

enough, not enough at all.

And so, Riley once again stretched his arms to the side and created some sort of telekinetic net that surrounded the entire planet.

[Queen Adel, Esme, and anyone else who deems themselves to be the strongest in their nation...] Riley then let his voice travel across the entire planet,

[...Find me and fight me all at once- if not, your already dying civilization will die toda-]

And before Riley could finish his words, someone suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet; punching him right in the face and causing him to fly up in an instant. And without even letting him get the chance to look at anything, a leg swung down toward his spine and returned him to the ground.

"...Rude." The sound of Riley's bones snapping back in place cracked and whispered in the air as he stood up; his head, completely twisted to the back. But of course, he just calmly twisted it in place with his hand as he looked at the person who attacked him,

"And here I thought you were one of the greatest warriors of Hel... Queen Adel."

"You seem to know a lot about me," Queen Adel just calmly stood there; her thick and

extremely long hair just curled on the ground as she stared Riley directly in the eyes, "Just one

tiny mistake, insect. I am not one of the greatest warriors of Hel...

...I am the greatest warrior of Theran."
