Chapter 1430 The Crown Of Dominion.

He may be a fugitive demon king, but he is not weaker than he ought to be. In fact, the opposite is true, thanks to the crown of domination.

A demon king with a plane in the abyss and the support of the abyss will become a fugitive if they encounter him. They will pick up their things and run without any thought of relying on their plane for safety.

He is stronger than ever before because he sacrificed all his crowns to the crown of domination. He even sacrificed all the Authority of the Celestial Supreme that Legion had amassed to it.

Those were supposed to be sold for soul stones, but Legion doesn't need them anymore, so he could use them for power. And what a power it is! The crown of domination accepted everything powerful he could throw at it, regardless of its origin, and gave him power in return.

This power is in the form of Authority. Authority is important to everyone on the three paths. Gods get bestowed Authority through faith, demons get theirs from the abyss and by killing gods, and those on the path of perfection gain it through the comprehension of laws and the creation of concepts.

Authority comes from many different sources, unique to the three paths of power. Those sources are not interchangeable across the different paths, so a demon can't gain power from faith or concepts. But through the crown of domination, this is possible for him. He became a competitor with Legion-7 for the consumption of concepts because of the crown.

The crown of domination is all anyone needs as their source of Authority. What's more, there is no limit to the amount of Authority it grants its bearer. It will take on every source of Authority to empower its bearer. So Aeternus is far beyond Level 10 Authority.

At this point, he might be on Level 34. All it took was the sacrifice of a lot of powerful items. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to get him to the next stage of evolution. Authority, no matter its source, can't compare to a Supreme Law.

They were courageous when he was stuck and couldn't do anything to them. But they cowered when he gave them his full attention. It is not their fault, really. The weight of his undivided attention is not a blessing. It is as heavy as the sky.

Aeternus has changed. He has grown because of his sacrifice. He is no longer the 1.7-meter-tall demon king that some made fun of. He is now over a hundred meters tall.

He is nowhere close to the 10-kilometer form of other demon kings, but no demon king can match his power. Even the most ignorant person can tell that much. So despite being smaller than what is expected of a demon king, the gods are quaking in fear before him.

He has four arms now and four eyes. His skin is red, and his horns are golden. He doesn't have wings, but he has grown a long, muscular tail. All of this is encapsulated in a black armor of gleaming metal.

The white crown on his head is out of place for his form, but it served to make his demonic form more sinister. After all, there is nothing more sinister than an angel-like demon.

He ignored all of them and focused on the Celestial Supreme. He stretched forth his hand at her to possess her. A formless yet powerful soul force came out of him like a tide. It gripped her and brought her to him.

She tried to resist, but she was outmatched. She was like a toy in his hands. If not for the fact that she has something that he wants, he won't even consider her worthy of his attention.
