The Strongest Conquest System

Chapter 522: Armageddon Approaches

...…

Young Master Peng revealed his identity not long after Crystalline won a competition known as the 'Heir's Ascension', as it turned out that he was not the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Hidden Lotus Syndicate…

As he was instead the third disciple of the Man Beyond the Stars!

However, to Crystalline, he was the man she loved more than anything in the world…

On that note, Amond in his base form as this Essence Clone, experienced the pleasures of Yin and Yang for many days after this was revealed…

Nonetheless, this wasn't the only version of Azmond that was getting all hot and steamy, as Morningstar was having the time of his life with Azure, Sapphire, Marina, Margarete, Esra, Nadia, Aya, and Thalia.

And then there were the rest of the women scattered throughout the world, primarily joining the 'Ice Queen's Glory'.

All of which required the constant catering to by all versions of Azmond.

They took turns going in rotation with all of the women, as the number of Dual Cultivation Experience Points added to storage from Lemon, Ember, Medusa, Clover, and the rest of the Two Hundred Ice Lilies had already surpassed an unbelievable amount!

But regardless of which version of the same exact existence was having fun with the women, there was one thing in common no matter what.

That thing being that all of the Essence Clones used their 'base appearance', namely, the one at the very core of their existence.

This 'base appearance' was what Azmond considered his devilishly handsome look to be termed, and this was what was always used when under the act of dual cultivation.

If it wasn't used, then it sort of felt like cheating, which was a big no no.

After all, he didn't much want to kill himself due to his own yandere tendencies, so in the end, all existence frequencies had to match up.

All in all, every version of him was identically cloned down to the last personality quark, follicle of hair, and even the very atoms that made up his existence!

Azmond tolerated no cheating, and that was true even for himself!

So the only way he could bypass this principle while giving every girl the same amount of attention was to…

OCD the hell out of his Essence Soul Clones!

And it was during this OCD session that he decided to make them all automated, which resulted in them turning off the ability of constantly transmitting memories and such back to the main body.

This is what led to the main bodies confusion when he found himself going through the end of some sort of temporal anomaly while on his way back to Asterion.

Azmond assumed it was some sort of invisible black hole that hid in between layers of space, but none of that really mattered right now, as there was a lot of catching up to do…

The Assimilation of Essence Clones made this whole acclimation process a lot easier, but he would still like to check up on everything with his main body.

So that's exactly what he did as he started traveling the world, visiting every single person he has met since coming to Asterion.

Of which, included Percival Moonweaver, Ayalah, Spiritflame, Eldric and his wife Ariana, Branchmaster Adrian, his disciple, Elara, Calista, Clawdia and all of the other women he now called his lovers…

…

A few weeks passed by as the day of Armageddon was inching ever closer for the people of Asterion.

"Have you heard the news?"

"What news??"

"You know! The one involving the Heaven Exploding Faction's mysterious fourth member coming back from beyond the Starry Expanse! The one who has been missing for the last four years, Azmond!"

"Really!? How have I not heard about this yet!?"

"Probably because you literally live under a damn rock! Haha!"

"Psshh, you're an a*shole, but regardless, what is so special about this Azmond character? I've been in seclusion for the last two hundred years and am still acclimating to the fact that this 'Heaven Exploding Faction' took over the world in such a short span of time."

"That's old news, brother! You just need to know that the Heaven Exploding Faction is planning big things for Asterion's Armageddon, and Azmond's reappearance was just the key that was needed to set everything in motion!"

"Oh yeah… The World Eating Worms, huh…?"

"Eh? Hell no! The World Eating Worms are old news, as the Man Beyond the Stars took care of them all a few months ago! How were you not awake when monsters larger than planets were hovering above Asterion with their billions of razor sharp teeth!?"

"Once again… I was cultivating, you idiot…"

"Well, you should stop cultivating and keep up with the times! If not, then the Heaven Exploding Faction might just swoop up the entire rock that you cultivate in while you're sleeping!"

Conversations like this one were occurring all over Asterion as there was a grand occasion approaching! Namely, the time of Armageddon! The time in which Void Kindren the size of solar systems would come down from beyond the stars and attempt to deny the authority of the Heaven Exploding Faction!

And it was on this fateful day that trillions upon trillions of mortals and cultivators alike waited outside their homes, looking up at the Starry night skies with rapt attention.

"When will they be here…?" A villager of the Village of Kuro in the kingdom of AquaRing inquired.

"It should be any second now…" A different villager responded with his eyes glued to the star-spackled dark blanket that enveloped the world in its embrace.

And then out of nowhere, something changed within Asterion's atmosphere, as a splendiferous phenomenon occurred in the space outside the outermost layer of the world!

FWAAZOOP!

An unusual sound echoed out across Asterion and all its surrounding space!

A grandiose mantis-like monster of unbelievable proportions warped in from an enormous wormhole that fluctuated in the void a few tens of billions of miles away from the small blue marble floating around in space…
