Chapter 350 - Fear

Yet another eerie silence took over the battlefield as many beings could be seen deserting it, while a single shimmering figure smoothly crossed the lands and skies while swinging down a golden blade of light.

Flames of furious anger erupted from the Devouring Winged Serpent who was being cornered by Athena, its aura bubbling forth as it found its forces were decimated and those that were remaining were running away in fear.

It's gaze looked at the figure of Noah who's golden robe now held a bloody sheen, the rivers of blood erupting from the bodies of the numerous serpents that he had just cut up wrapping around him and diminishing the shine of his regal robe.

It was a terrible contrast to see- Gold tinged with red while the gaze of this terrible being continued to chase down the disordered and broken forces of the Order of the Black Serpent while also striking down the bodies of Cultivators devoid of souls that they had obtained over their months-long project in the World of Cultivation.

The reality that he had just simply killed two Soul Rank beings not even seem to register in the mind of the winged Crixus as he wielded his blade and continued the bloodbath. One could occasionally see the appearance of resplendent Blades of Liberation pierce through the skies as they went on to smash onto the ranks of the Order of the Black Serpent and cause even more destruction!

The devouring black serpent looked at all of this with unbelievable hopelessness as her numerous heads roared forth in anger while her voice resounded out yet again

"Hypocrisy! Unfairness!"

BOOM!

Its roars were only met with one of its heads falling, Being severed from one of Athena's attacks as a blade of liberation had descended down and cleanly cut through one of the heads!

An exciting look was on Athena's face as she continued to attack this being an entire realm above her. The trembling tens of thousands of fate lines in her body continuing to thrum strongly as they reduced the energy she required to cast all her skills while at the same time providing horrendous boosts to her speed and damage.

In the corner for eyes. She simply observed the figure of Crixus continuing to move across a battlefield as a river of blood began forming in the ground from the numerous serpents that continued to have their lives diminished. It had now turned into a simple scene of a massacre as even those watching from the numerous Prime Worlds looked on with fearful and somber eyes!

The image of this winged being dr.a.p.ed in a golden robe that shone with the brilliant terrifying color of blood was etching itself into the recesses of their memories.

"Hypocrisy!!!"

The shouts of the Devouring Winged Serpent rang out again, but nobody paid any attention to them. The only things running through their minds as they watched this unbelievable scene of beings at a much lower realm decimate tens of thousands of beings and even those that stood above them playing out clearly were- So what? What if it was hypocrisy? What if it was unfair?

In the face of beings like this, in the face of a single Void Realm Celestial being able to decimate two Soul Forging experts while continuing to rain down destruction endlessly, what could they do? 

The many beings watching from the numerous Prime Worlds were reminded once again about those they knew to be looking over the Light Expanse. They were reminded once again of the terrible power of beings that studied the Supreme Law of Fate!

As they watched Noah's figure weave in and out of tens of thousands of magi in the Magus World, they were reminded once again of the power of Celestials!

Those hiding in the dark and those who considered themselves powerful or had simply forgotten the sway of the Celestials etched this lesson into their hearts as it looked like the massacre in the Magus World was ending, the peak Soul Forging Devouring Winged Serpent bellowing forth as her aura began shooting up unstably.

Noah was chasing down running Magi a few miles away when he felt this change, his impassive gaze looking towards Athena's direction as he disappeared and quickly reappeared near their location.

"Yaa!"

The valiant War Princess did not even spare a glance to him as her figure continued to land horrendous attacks to the rapidly changing and convulsing body of the Devouring Winged Serpent, its bellowing screams not landing in here ears one bit as she dodged attacks with a hair's breadth and continued to damage the origin of this being an entire realm above her with attacks that dealt heavy Soul Damage.

"Since my death is coming anyways, I'll be sure to bring you all down with me! Oh, Great World Devouring Serpent Ancestor! Descend! Wreak havoc! Eradicate these hypocrites in front of m-"

RUMBLE!

Noah watched as this Devouring Winged Serpent was trying to undergo yet another transformation and call down a very powerful force by the meaning of the words she spoke, so he didn't bother letting her finish her words nor her transformation as he cast the singular skill capable of immense damage while also disrupting the essence of a being to the point of destruction.

[Sever].

ZIING!

"GAH!"

A ray of destructive Aether pierced through the chest of the Devouring Winged Serpent as its aura was about to bubble forth half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm, whatever technique it was calling forth failing from Noah's intrusion as Athena moved forward Valiantly.

[Smite of Liberation]! [Judgment]!

A combination of skills was called forth by her as the unstable converging essence around the body of the Devouring Winged Serpent was bathed with gold, numerous spears coming into existence as they dug into her body, a Blade of Liberation descending down as it even further dealt horrid injuries.

SPULCH!

Noah's mind rapidly moved as he joined in the last moment when he saw the Devouring Winged Serpent was still hanging on with signs of life, joining Athena in her last attacks as he wanted to kill steal this powerful being and gain a few more Soul Rank [Skill Book]s.

BOOM!

Resplendent skills smashed onto the convulsing body of this powerful being as she was ganged up on, not given any respite as her calls for unfairness and hypocrisy were only met with a single verdict- Death!

Her body exploded in a shower of blood as Athena's figure breathed heavily, having withstood the power of the peak Soul Forging Devouring Winged Serpent the longest as she didn't hold even a single scratch of damage, her golden armor and wings bathed with blood.

It was a terrifying and yet an enticing scene to watch this resplendent figure, Noah turning his gaze as he used [Fate Discernment] yet again after the death of the head of the Order of the Black Serpent.

He found that his goal was actually nearing completion, with the war against the World of Cultivation completely evaded and an enormous amount of chaos reduced, but it still was not enough!

It did not achieve the same level of effect as the destruction of the entire Magus World would have yet, so his body turned into a streak of light once more as he moved to track and kill all those remaining in the central lands of the Magus World that held the auras of chaos.

The heads of the leaders were cut off, and now he had to take down all those that followed in their actions as he continued to achieve the factor of Fear to all those watching. They all had ingrained in their minds that what they were observing now could happen to any of them, and that the only way to prevent this was to not do actions similar to this Magus World!

What Noah didn't know was that fear had already completely crept into the hearts of those watching the ridiculous strength of two Void Realm disciples decimate an entire army of a Prime World.

[Fate Discernment] didn't show this yet as time simply had to be given in order for this fear to spread and reduce chaos even more as many forces would turn careful with their future actions!
