Chapter 1594 Catch [4]
?VOOOOOOOOOOOM!
It was an endless drone.
It was inaudible in most places. The majority of the world's population would be unaffected by it until the day it died down.
But if anyone got close to it, they would hear that drone in their ears, never letting them forget that it existed.
Not that anyone could forget in the first place, since it was accompanied by a huge blue star that was continuously colliding with the planet's surface.
Damien stood in front of it with cold eyes.
BOOOOOOM!
A wave of energy forced itself against the Existence barrier in front of him and splashed to the sides.
There were many bursts in many places, but none of them were as concentrated or powerful as this.
It wasn't alone either.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Over and over again in the same spot. After the first three, it was hard to keep thinking it was coincidence.
And if anyone managed to maintain that delusion after the fact…
BANG!
"DAMIEN VOID!"
A bloody fist slammed against the Existence barrier. The charred form of a man appeared on the other side like something out of a nightmare, staring into Damien's soul.
"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT AND FIGHT ME, DAMIEN VOID!"
Split and drool splashed from Grand Duke Maveth's mouth as he screamed like a feral beast, only for it to be evaporated by the surrounding energy.
His fists were only half-present in their complete forms. The bottom of his right hand and the middle of his left were just bones, reinforced by malakh to stay together.
Damien had been coming here every so often since he flawlessly got rid of the three Grand Dukes. At first, it was just to look at the explosion, but around three months after the events transpired…
BOOM!
Grand Duke Maveth appeared for the first time.
Damien thought he was dead. There was no logical way for him to survive.
However, he was somehow managing to preserve his life in there.
His body was broken. His head was a skull dyed in blue and black. Seeing how his flesh shifted between nonexistent, charcoal, and normal was harrowing.
The proud appearance of a Grand Duke was no longer with him. The explosion ate his sanity just as much as it ate his life.
But he refused to die.
He used force control to keep the chaotic energy away from him, just barely managing to survive. He had to keep his ability active at all times or he'd be shredded.
The injuries on his body were the result of his many attempts to try and take a break. The moment he realized it was impossible, he went insane.
Now, he had devolved to this.
And Damien had come to visit him once a week to see how he was doing.
Maveth's willpower was definitely impressive. Damien didn't particularly enjoy watching the man suffer like this, but it had to be done.
He came here not for pleasure, but for the memories contained within that man's existence.
Maveth and Famas always stood above Klaus and Lance. None of them had direct contact with the Dark God, but the two of them were aware of his location.
Famas had long since died.
As for Maveth…
'Even though he looks like this, he's still too dangerous.'
Wasn't the fact that he'd been constantly expending copious amounts of mana for months and showed no signs of fatigue?
He was injured, but his vitality didn't decrease unless he relaxed his energy barrier, an action he was now refusing to take.
'He's getting more feral too. I don't want to find out what he can do with his power when he doesn't have rationality holding him back.'
Damien was waiting patiently for Grand Duke Maveth to become no more than prey waiting to be killed.
Until then, he had better things to do.
He was turning the True Void World into a sight completely different from its appearance a bit ago.
Technology boomed.
Well, that wasn't necessarily true. Damien brought a lot of technology over and brought even more experts who could develop and create such devices. With them, he was able to mimic a technological revolution.
It would take a long time for the denizens to learn the ways of such a society, but Damien was hoping that introducing them to these concepts beforehand would accelerate their growth.
His main focus was the environment itself.
He could directly influence it, and he could do so in a short period of time, so he put more of his attention towards this.
Grass was now a prominent thing. Crops could grow where they couldn't grow before, and new ecosystems almost immediately started developing.
The True Void World resembled the Heavenly World more and more by the day. Elena's Valhalla army was surprisingly efficient, so the societal development was turning out nicely as well.
His family already knew about what he was doing at this point.
Elena hsd communicated with them just as she'd promised, and they'd provided as much aid as they could without completely understanding what he was doing.
Nevertheless, as Damien continued to develop the True Void World and visit Maveth.
No, he secured the True Void World. It was more than just the world's growth. He made sure that nothing would be able to challenge its stability.
And as he drowned himself in work, that time came.
The last remaining Grand Duke's vitality hit an all-time low.
And Damien made his move.
He entered the Existence barrier to see Maveth on the ground, sprawled out as best he could with the remainder of his body.
He saw Damien approaching, and his aura instinctively flared in response. He tried to growl and hiss, but he no longer had the facilities to make sounds or express his emotions in any way.
Damien looked at him without any expression on his face.
This man made him suffer more than anyone else in the entire Heavenly World. As a result, his life was ending in suffering.
"Karma's a bitch."
Damien knelt down and put his hand on Maveth's head.
"Now, give me what I want."
From the start, he only had one purpose.
There was one man he wanted to meet.
And as Maveth's memories turned into essence that filled Damien's mind, he got the answer he wanted.
His eyes went up to the sky.
He snapped his fingers, and the Existence barrier shrunk over and over again until the entire remaining explosion was contained in a small ball.
Damien grabbed that ball in his hand. Pulling his arm back to gather power, he shot it into the sky at extreme speeds.
It broke past the True Void World. It broke past the extents of the star cluster where this world stayed. It broke past everything else in this cosmos and arrived at an isolated black hole that not a single person had seen with their own eyes.
That was where it decided to explode.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
The blue energy that ripped apart Grand Dukes like loose-leaf paper barely got to show its power for half a second before it was completely extinguished.
Damien never meant it as an attack, though.
No, to a being of that level, the explosion was nothing more than a greeting.
It was his way of clearing displaying that he recognized that man's presence.
The man in the center of the black hole opened his eyes slightly. His vision spread past the bounds of perception and located the man who called out for him.
They stood so many light-years away that it wasn't worth trying to measure the distance, but the two of them stared into each other's eyes without a hint of deviation.
Damien and the Dark God.
Wasn't it time for them to finally meet face-to-face?
