Chapter 255: Preparing To Become A God...?
...…
After perusing his revamped system interface, Azmodeus moved without hesitation as he took out the Core of a 2nd Layered Plane of Infinity.
WAAAA!
Its resplendence was blinding, far brighter than all the Cores that came before. However, considering that this was the Core of the Astral Plane, such a level of resplendence made a lot of sense.
But this mesmerizing view was not allowed to be out in the world for long as Azmodeus moved it toward the miniature Spiritual Island.
OOOM!
A similar phenomenon to the previous ones occurred as the iridescent sphere vanished from sight, assimilating with the Spiritual Island.
It took no longer than an instant for the aura of the Spiritual Island to spike up, as its inner size also increased. However, instead of the size being measured in units of meters, it went straight to miles.
100,000 miles…
Azmodeus declared the size of the island inside his head as he wondered just how big this thing could become.
He thought about it for a moment before zorping into the Spiritual Island, seeing just what had changed with the most recent upgrade.
The first and foremost thing he noticed was the fact that there were now monkeys, turtles, dolphins, and other animals living in the various biomes. Of which, there was the Forest Biome, Beach Biome, and the… Ocean Biome!
The Ocean Biome was where all of the sea mammals lived. Although there weren't yet organisms like sharks or whales, it was close to reaching that point.
As for the water itself, its depths extend downward for tens of thousands of meters. It even reached a part where there was nothing but pitch-black darkness and the unknown…
Azmodeus looked forward to seeing just what that 'unknown' would end up being. But for now, he shot back to the surface, looking like a more majestic version of Aquaman as he zoomed toward the next biome. Or rather, the hints that would help him better understand what the next Biome would be.
He saw dolphins, seals, and large tuna leap out of the water on his way over. And when he finally reached his destination, he was greeted with the sight of small hints of magma situated next to the end of the world.
This magma was small in quantity and actively leaked over into the Spiritual Island from a different reality.
"I wonder how it's possible for this all to be happening… What exactly is this place?"
No matter how Azmodeus contemplated the matter, he just couldn't understand how the system was doing all this…
He had long since realized its nigh omnipotence, but why would it go through so much trouble to create a progressively evolving ecosystem?
That was when a curious thought passed through his frontal lobe, and for the first time since he got here, he unleashed all of his strength!
WAAAA!
His immensely regal, crimson-colored aura enveloped the entirety of the island's periphery. But contrary to what he thought would happen with the release of such a suffocating aura, not even a single blade of grass swayed. It was almost like his existence was deemed invalid…
"It's like I'm watching over this place from a bird's-eye view, omniscient and omnipresent… Like a… God." Azmodeus's voice trailed off toward the end as he focused on observing a location.
After honing in on a leaf falling from a large tree in the Forest Biome, he realized that he could see every microscopic part of the leaf. Furthermore, he could do so without using his cultivation...
On top of that, he was even capable of flying without any energy present in his body!
How is this possible…? How can I do any of these things without the presence of any form of energy?
Azmodeus observed the creases in his palm as he figured he'd try something else on this long line of experiments.
His hands stretched out in front of him as he conveyed his intent to a small wave in the vast ocean below him. The moment this intent was fully activated, something truly miraculous occurred.
WHOOSH!
The once-foot-long wave transformed into something over 10 miles in height as it towered over his body like an insurmountable wall of serenity!
This beautiful yet dangerous thing had a number of sea creatures swimming around inside it, and the dolphins even had the nerve to occasionally leap out.
It was a phenomenon that could only be described as a thorned rose, and it was this wondrous thing that aimed to devour everything whole…
It wanted to wash all of existence into its currents…
But just as suddenly as it came, it dispersed just as easily, all done with a simple wave of a crimson-haired man's hand.
"Eeek! Eeek!"
Azmodeus watched as the monkeys on the mainland fled through the tree canopies and ran away, never looking back!
"..."
On the other hand, the one who started and stopped the end of the world looked at his body with an intrigued gleam in his blood-red gaze.
"It's almost like the system is preparing me to become a… God…" Azmodeus softly murmured this while thinking about just what the system had in mind for him.
However, after a moment of getting nowhere inside his own mind, he used his sourceless powers in order to create a floating castle of water.
He had this castle situate itself a few miles in the air, decorating and furnishing it with everything he wanted.
FWIP!
With its creation accomplished to perfection, Azmodeus blurred into its interior and took a look at all the intricately carved furniture. He also marveled at the spiraling pillars, adorned with seashells and pearls, all of which held the place together.
As for how the water was made solid, well, that was just one of the perks of becoming a god-like existence within a small area. Anything and absolutely everything was put under his control, and with such control, he created his own artificial laws. He, of course, used his own comprehension of similar laws, but still, it was quite an achievement in and of itself.
After all, it was considered nearly impossible to replicate the laws of existence, even at the lowest possible level…
