Both the old Main Character and the two other Main Characters are around the peak of the Comet's Passage Realm, while that dragon is on the precipice of the realm that comes after the Comet's Passage Realm...
And with the improved combat power of all Main Characters in the equation, I am potentially looking at 4 Half-Step beyond Comet's Passage Realm cultivators aiming to take my life.
After analyzing his situation with a discerning eye, Azmodeus walked away from his ostentatious chair and took slow steps toward the group of heroes.
"..." The leading Hero looked down at their target moving toward them of his own free will, as he never would've assumed he would give up without a fight.
But after feeling the presence of the dragon—a presence that rivaled his own—he understood why it was that the NPC considered giving up.
And although the leading Hero had no idea who that dragon was or why it was rushing toward them like that, if it got in the way of their capture of the bug, he would kill it on the spot.
After all, even though he and the dragon possessed similar strength, there was one thing that set the two of them apart...
"I am the MC. And with that status as someone above you, I have come to inform you that for your crime of going against our Hero Alliance and killing one of our own in cold blood, you will be captured, tortured, and eventually killed after we extract all secrets from you."
The leading Hero stared down at the slowly approaching crimson-eyed man of extraordinary beauty as he clearly thought of himself as the center of the world.
But regardless of his thoughts, the Crimson Devil Lord continued his leisurely steps toward the group of heroes, and along with those steps came a steadily increasing aura.
"There was once a Devil." He started to speak with a voice that seemed to echo out across multiple different points in time.
"???" The Leading Hero didn't understand why the NPC started speaking, but he wasn't given the time to brood over it as Azmodeus continued to speak while his aura increased appropriately with every step he took.
"This Devil met God. And do you know what this Devil said to God?"
"...I don't understand what you're saying, you NPC-!"
Even if he put his all into it and used the cheats from his Void Devouring System, there was absolutely no way he could even hope to put a dent in those existence-splitting attacks!
So that left only one option for him. And the rest of the heroes, along with the dragon, seemed to be thinking in unison as all of them turned tails and... ran!
The universe-size dragon statue had stopped in his tracks the moment he felt a threat to his life, and after twenty more of the same threat appeared, he already scratched the idea of using the human in order to improve his dragon scale.
No one said that boy was such a freak!! How could I have predicted that his strength could increase from the Early Stages of the Comet's Passage Realm all the way to the Meteor Shower Realm in a mere two weeks!?
This level of freakishness surpasses even those monstrous geniuses in the Star Federation Capital!
Following these thoughts, the universe-sized body of the multi-colored dragon statue turned into a bright flash of iridescent light and ran away at the fastest speed he could.
And along with him were the few thousand heroes, all of whom wore horrified expressions on their faces.
"..."
Azmodeus watched all of his loot bags try to get away as he let out a light sigh before uttering, "There's no escape for loot."
Following the announcement of this universal truth, he, along with all of his clones, simultaneously let their Greatswords plummet down to the earth!
RUMBLE!!
First, there was a rumbling, as just the sheer magnitude of these sword strikes was capable of putting immense pressure on the Endless Ocean!
After the rumbling subsided, the level was immediately taken past 11, as the 20+ Crimson Black sword beams over 1 octillion miles in length finally found themselves perpendicular to the infinitely stretching ground below.
And what happened next was apocalyptic...
