Beast Evolution System: Devourer of Heaven-Chapter 319: The Red Prince Sought Kingdom

In six regions of the void, six beings so large they could dwarf entire galaxies slumbered, each one surrounded by 72 thousand angels and 72 thousand demons.

Each being was bound by 72 chains constructed of laws. A thousand demons held the chains down to the heart of hell.

The 72 thousand angels played music and hummed songs so divine they echoed through the deepest chambers of the celestial realm.

Behind them were 100 thousand Gods each holding a pillar large enough to pierce stars, the pillars formed a hundreds thousand cornered barrier.

All of these powerful beings gave it their all to keep the six terrifying beings in slumber but they still could not stop their power from leaking.

These six beings were the six Nameless ones. Their creations tried their best to awaken them.

However the army of demons, angels and Gods kept them at bay in a constant war that had lasted for billions of years.

Just like that they maintained a fragile balance but it was about to break for the Nameless were about to awaken from their slumber.

The creation of the Nameless had grown restless, they attacked like maniacs causing so much commotion their masters shifted in their slumber.

When they did the Void shook, their power spilled into the heavens causing remnants of the already dead universes to crumble into nothingness.

They were about to wake up, all at once as if scheduled, the heavens army knew if they woke up, death and destruction would follow.

Before they did however the heavens waged war on them, the three armies led by their rulers marched into the void itself.

Their power alerted the creatures of the void, the creation of the Nameless as well the void beasts.

Void beasts lunged at them like mindless creatures, behind them came the vermin of the Nameless.

The strongest of them with enough power to threaten Gods but they hit a brick wall, the three armies of heaven cut through them like harvesters in a wheat field.

They stood around the bounds of creation and blocked the path of the void creatures. The weaker void creatures were allowed through as per the orders of the lady of origin.

The two armies faced each other, now occupied the armies of the Nameless could no longer awaken their masters.

The angels sang once more sending the Nameless back to slumber with their celestial voices.

The demons grabbed the chains and bound them to the heart of hell. The balance was maintained once more.

At the edge of all that is, war waged as the heavenly army faced the void army. The silence of the endless darkness was shattered.

The three rulers of the three realms sat on their thrones and watched. Alongside them were the strongest members of their armies.

Lucifer of pride was surrounded by the six demons of the other sins. Satan of Wrath, Beelzebub of gluttony.

Mormon of green, Lilith of lust, Asmodeus of Envy, Leviathan of sloth. Each one sat on their thrones.

Their presence causing those around them to feel like they're suffocating.

Michael of humility was surrounded by the other six Seraphim of the seven virtues. Gabriel of patience.

Uriel of chastity, Raphael of Charity, Azrael of diligence, Ramiel of Temperance and Kammiel of Generosity.

Longmu was surrounded by the seven high gods representing the seven elements of nature.

Salamander of fire, Undine of water, Sylph of wind, Gnome of earth, Druid of wood, Leo of Light and Caligo of darkness.

All of them took positions and guarded the path to the mortal realm, sitting on their thrones like rulers waiting to pass judgement.

Back on Earth.

The herald felt his lord about to awaken and he was overjoyed, then he felt her return to slumber once more shattering his hope.

His emotions fluctuated, deep in his soul a flame ignited, small and unnoticed. Naledi did not care about his emotional state.

She was still trying to kill him but his immortality made that impossible. She was frustrated.

However she did not let him go and continued destroying his body over and over again.

This combined with his already unstable emotional state finally broke the herald's mind or at the very least.

The part of his consciousness that was still here. When that happened the tiny flame inside him blazed like a bonfire.

' How is this possible?'

the herald asked but a voice laughed in his head.

' You think I didn't expect you to try and take over my body? How foolish do you think I am?

However I have to admit I might've underestimated you, I thought facing the two monsters.

Seeing how helpless you are against them would break your mind, you're much stronger than I gave you credit for.

As expected of an old monster such as yourself. If it wasn't for whatever made your emotions unstable.

I might never have regained control of my body.' the voice of Vermilion laughed again angering the herald even more.

But the angrier he got the easier it was for Vermilion to take over, by the time he noticed it was already too late.

' One day you'll pay for this little worm.' the herald threatened but Vermilion just laughed.

' I'm looking forward to it, oh before you go, thank you for the new power.' he laughed mockingly and consumed the soul fragment of the herald.

He opened his eyes and saw Naledi attacking, his body ignited into flames and disappeared.

Unlike the herald he didn't dare take Naledi's attack heard on, the herald could survive it because of his connection to his real body.

He didn't have that, while killing him would be hard now, disintegrating him ice particles would certainly do the trick.

He appeared in a underground layer, his subordinates were already waiting. After the destruction of the other layer.

Sbonga had survived by hiding in his coffin and the witch of a hundred faces was merely a clone so she was never in real danger.

They came here, " Where's two?" He asked and they shrugged. " Leave her, is the gate ready?"

A man came forward and nodded, he led Vermilion deeper underground and there was a swirling portal floating above ground.

" This will lead us to a weaker world, it strongest ruler is a projection realm my lord." The man said.

Vermilion nodded, " Let go." His people went through the portal, he was the last to go, before he did he turned and looked at his world once more.

His eyes piercing through the layers of earth into the surface. " Till next time." He stepped through.

Vermilion was gone from earth to a new world.
