Chapter 201: Only One Fate Awaits Them
.....
*Ding!* *Would you like to roll for a Physique or Racial Trait of the being you just killed?*
"Yes, keep on rolling until I acquire that Physique he was using to better connect with the Law of Poison on a much deeper level than I'm capable of."
Following this request, and after a few dozen rolls, the physique Azmodeus wanted finally appeared.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have obtained the Half-Step Dwarf Star Transformation Rank 'Poison Resonance' Physique.*
*Ding!* *Would you like to keep it or keep on rolling?*
"Keep it."
*Ding!* *You have fully obtained the Poison Resonance Physique!*
*Ding!* *Your Singularity Physique has taken one more step toward the absolute peak of the Planet Forger Rank!*
*Ding!* *Your overall Battle Power has moderately improved!*
After all of the system notifications finished ringing out, Azmodeus turned his gaze toward his next target.
It was someone who went by the alias of Heavenbreaker, and also someone who stood near the very peak of the Sunsmite Empire's hierarchy!
There was a faint feeling Azmodeus could sense within the air—a feeling that told him the Heavenbreaker knew of what he had done to one of his direct subordinates.
And through that sensation, a deeply rooted killing intent could be felt…
"You wish to make an enemy of me…?" Azmodeus's gaze frosted over as he responded in full, unleashing a killing intent capable of traversing any amount of distance.
OOOM!
Their intangible killing intents seemed to battle one another in mid-air. Subsequently, numerous animals and organisms in the vicinity dropped dead like flies.
It wasn't until the killing intent of the Heavenbreaker was overwhelmed by Azmodeus's far more lethal killing intent that the deaths finally stopped occurring.
"..."
The one who won this small bout didn't appear to be too happy about what had just transpired.
He could feel that something was wrong...
Something isn't right… Why does the Heavenbreaker possess such a lackluster killing intent…? Is mine simply superior? Or is there something wrong on his side…?
He pondered the matter while having already morphed back into his 2-meter-tall human form.
After a few seconds of hyper-contemplating the subject, a conclusion was eventually reached. Or rather, two different conclusions were brought to the table.
He's either in the process of breaking through…
Or someone... or something is distracting him from interfering with the deaths of his Regional Overlords…
Azmodeus was inclined to believe that it was the latter option. After all, breaking through into a rank that even the Emperor had not broken through was highly unlikely.
If that's truly the case, then my… my loot…
His eyes turned a deep shade of crimson as he grew blood-red bat wings from his back, all while his focus never left the fluctuating killing intent originating from a far-off location of the Sunsmite Empire.
"Someone actually dares to try and take my loot before I can get to it!?" He roared with a voice oozing intense hatred, exhibiting a level of emotion previously thought to be impossible for the aloof devil.
WAAAA!
His aura intensified a billionfold as the skies turned into a blood-red sea!
Even the ground caved in under the immense pressure being emitted from his blurry, demon-like figure!
"This is unacceptable…!!"
Following a soul-wrenching shout that bypassed what little remained of his emotions, his immeasurably long demon wings flapped as he blazed into the skies at a speed beyond insanity.
"Truly Unacceptable!!!"
Azmodeus's enraged shouts could be heard over every inch of land he passed above as his demonic figure sped through the skies at exponentially increasing speeds. For those below, it looked like he transformed his existence into something akin to a flaming Phoenix!
As he blazed through the skies at speeds surpassing any known limiters, the land and beings below his direct line of sight were eviscerated to bones and ash. In turn, they transformed into the fuel that would allow the Azmodeus to go even faster!
Furthermore, with the immediate order to improve the killing efficiency of all clones, the amount of strength he gathered by the millisecond rendered the person he was at the very last instant nothing more than weak trash!
With every passing second, he passed his previous self, and with every parsec he beamed over, the rate at which he exceeded his previous limits grew beyond belief!
He utterly refused to allow what should've been his loot to die before he got to it first!!
There was no way in hell anyone would take what was rightfully his!!
"This is a sin punishable by death!!"
His emotions spiraled out of control as the obsession over loot took control of his critical thinking, transforming him into an absolute killing machine!
No matter if it were a human, a beast, or even those of other races, nothing was able to escape his thirst for power and loot.
In the Boundless Void, in the Astral Plane, in the Single Layered Planes of Infinity, there was absolutely nothing capable of averting the eventual fate that awaited them all—death and assimilation.
It was through this action that, in the span of half an hour, the degree to which Azmodeus efficiently farmed loot increased countless fold!
With results coming in massive amounts, all the clones and members of the Heaven Exploding Sect spread out and murdered with even greater fervor.
"For those who wish to stand in my way…"
Azmodeus's apathetic voice echoed out across time and space as he slipped through a tunnel in space and arrived in an area that looked as if an intense battle had just concluded.
His venomous gaze scanned over the various corpses and craters as he eventually found what he was looking for.
It was only after confirming it with his own crimson-colored eyes that he fell to the ground next to a half-mauled corpse that wore shiny golden armor.
"For those who wish to stand in my way… Only one fate awaits them…" His devil-like eyes hardened to an unbelievable degree as he pulled out his crimson-red katana and looked in the direction of a slight fluctuation in space.
