Myriad Devils-Chapter 239: An insignificant moment of delusion

Heavily due to being founded based on strength, within the cosmic space, the very structure of society was fundamentally different in comparison to Earth’s.

So even though Anon’s entire upper body was bare, allowing his wings to spread out without obstruction, rather than being unfit for a grand occasion such as this, it was not something that was given any attention whatsoever.

"We’ve overseen Eldara for multiple cosmic cycles; however, today will be written down as the greatest day in planet Eldara’s history. To be able to welcome and prepare a banquet for humanity’s young lord is our, Eldarians’, greatest source of pride!"

In the lead was an otherworldly warlord who took the likeness of an aged man with white hair and three eyes. His skin was grey, and he was dressed in white robes.

Likely because he ascended with this aged appearance, he opted to keep it.

The aura he exuded gave off an almost wicked energy; however, his face was full of smiles, to the point where even his eyes were smiling.

Anon reciprocated, smiling back at him and those who stood behind him. He casually gazed at the army of thousands in the sky, and under his gaze, no truth could be hidden...

There were indeed some who casually thought of his realm.

After all, in terms of realm, he was only a Cosmos Forger, and though they could not see through his thoughts, it only meant that unfathomable souls could not see through other unfathomable souls.

Anon’s willpower was still only in the first level as well, so he could not compare to his own servant, who stood a half step behind him.

Inwardly, he shook his head and casually thought, ’How did you fellows survive until now? How did you all ascend?’

Under the confused gazes of the planet leaders, the planet sentinel, the army of a hundred thousand, and Leren, he snapped his fingers.

The sound was nurtured by an untraceable, incomprehensible power, causing all otherworldly beings on planet Eldara, and those just above, to hear it.

The black-haired youth and fatty young master were both descending the skies, followed by a group of guards, whilst droves of otherworldly figures flew near and far, all of their destinations being the same, the world of Eldara below.

The sudden sound of a snap momentarily caught them by surprise, leaving a buzzing sound that caused their souls to tremble.

The fatty young master was not the only one who started plummeting to the world below, only catching himself some moments after.

In the capital city, several dozen army members fell unconscious, and by a mysterious force, were pulled towards Anon at an inconceivable speed.

Even the planetary leaders who were Realm Fathers could not react in time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out as their bodies collided against the obsidian earth, causing it to sink like soft dirt under pressure.

Before they could stabilize their souls and resist this mysterious power, and before the others present could react...

"Stop!" A magnetic voice was slightly late.

The bodies of more than ninety otherworldly knights were shattered, their souls annihilated.

Some who sought to be reborn through their past selves in faraway material dimensions only committed futile acts.

Silence befell.

Much less the otherworldly army, even the planetary leaders were too stunned to speak. Leren stood behind him, but did not know how to go about this, especially in front of so many otherworldly creatures.

Only the planetary sentinel felt an inclination to voice his doubts.

"Was that really necessary?" He asked. His figure remained hidden; however, his voice fell from all corners of the capital’s skies.

The otherworldly entities all heard him, even if they could not see him.

Those in the army, to his words, all sighed inwardly, relieved.

In the moments that had gone by, the silence of the planetary leaders, towards the instant obliteration of close to a hundred army members, had left them feeling a strangeness in their hearts.

Even if he was the young lord, was his authority so high that the planetary leaders could not stand against such an injustice?

Thankfully, the planetary sentinel had authority in the Human race, so he did not need to hold as much fear of the young lord, and he was also compassionate to the weak.

This was one who truly had a compassionate nature that could even influence his unfathomable soul.

Commendable and admirable!

"Young Lord, with all due respect, may I ask what is the meaning of this?" The aged planetary leader saw an opportunity, and he also beckoned for reasoning. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He had indeed lost some respect with the otherworldly army, but by riding the coattails of the planetary sentinel, not only could he be somewhat assured that his status would be unaffected, but his stance would also save the face of their group, the planetary leaders, amongst the otherworldly army.

The six other members of the group were secretly pleased by his actions; however, they hid their expressions away from the sight of the otherworldly army and looked at him instead, with an expression of dissatisfaction.

They made sure that the young lord saw how dissatisfied they were with his unadulterated audacity towards someone of such prestige.

Anon clicked his tongue, saying with an unreadable expression, and a voice filled with sarcastic doubt, "Is it because I am merely an otherworldly knight that you do not think highly of me? Or is it that you do not hold my status amongst the Human race in your eyes?"

Initially, he would reveal the thoughts of these individuals, and though this was not enough reason to actually end their lives, so what?

However, now that these people wished to mingle in schemes based on this event, he decided that he would absolutely play along with them.

From his pair of radiant eyes, the supreme aura of a celestial swept over the floating capital.

"I killed them on a whim, but what are you going to do about it?" Anon’s words fell, and the entire capital trembled.

This was not caused by his words themselves, but the rage of the otherworldly army above.

They did not do it on purpose, but it was due to the combined willpower of multiple Level One, Two, and even Level Three wills.

The group of planetary leaders was stunned into silence.

What he said was absolutely correct.

There was no way in any reality, they had the authority to punish him.

This was not a young lord of humanity who attained such a status through some competition, proving to the race his strength and talent, no...

This was the human lord’s son.

One could say that the latter path was less commendable; however, who dared offend the Human Lord in this cosmic space?

Rumor had it, this was a second-world practitioner who succeeded in otherworldly ascension, so in the end, was this not proof enough?

If there were cosmic pinnacle geniuses, then the one before them was above that anyway.

So who could really say that the latter path was less commendable when it was this freak of nature that had walked it?

He would’ve succeeded in the first path as well.

Even if the otherworldly army was watching, the planetary leaders were reluctant to offend him... not for something as insignificant as face.

Sigh~

"On a whim? I dare not be dissatisfied with your actions, oh, young lord; however, for the sake of humanity..."

Seraphis, the planetary sentinel, went as far as to mention humanity.

Even if his status was not comparable to the young lord’s, when given the choice between the human species and the young lord of humanity, all humans would naturally choose the former.

Wasn’t it due to the human species that the young lord of humanity had achieved such a cosmic standing in the first place?

Essentially, he was only an otherworldly knight.

Yes, he achieved otherworldly ascension with a second world cultivation, being one of one in the history of the cosmic space.

But, wasn’t it due to his status as the young lord that he was not currently being tortured and experimented on by the most powerful... no, by the entire cosmic space?

To use the entire human species in this argument was indeed a sign of wisdom, but Anon inwardly scoffed.

He turned toward a particular direction in the sky, and the divine tattoo on his forehead transformed into an eye...

Seraphis instantly perceived the deathly gaze of a soul more complex than his own. This gaze sent chills throughout his body, causing the entirety of his inner world to quake.

One must understand that he was an otherworldly warlord... he was a Realm Father that, with the assistance of the Blue Wave, could battle, and even suppress ordinary Dimension Lords!

But he felt a tinge of fear welling up in his heart, confusing him.

And concepts that caused fear and confusion in the minds of humans often led to even more fear amongst humans.

In a few short moments, the sentinel’s state of mind was so affected that the invisible veil obscuring him momentarily shattered, causing his previously untraceable image to appear before the eyes of otherworldly knights and warlords...

His sharp, yet delicate face was obscured by an expression of bewilderment and panic.

"You are the sentinel of planet Eldara... did I leave those born on planet Eldara without any hope of rebirth?" Anon’s voice was calm, and he spoke casually, "No, I did not pursue their past selves, so you should instead be thanking me, do you not think so?"

Both the power of the Infernal god and the Celestial Supreme were complex, and they could be used in direct combat or in situations like this.
