Chapter 186: Go Forth! Conquer!

......

Yang Hua recalled a memory from dozens of years ago (outside time).

It was a memory that involved Azmodeus declaring war on the Single-Leafed Thousand Lotus Sect simply because he didn't like the way they mocked the women of the Heaven Exploding Faction under their breath.

She knew that he didn't do it because he loved them, but there was a naive part of her that believed a piece of his existence felt the same way about her as she did about him.

But in the end, such emotions were likely just her way of coping with the reality that her feelings would always be a one-way street...

Even so, nothing would stand in her way of happiness!

Furthermore, this was the same for all the other girls, for even if it took millions or billions of years, they would keep on persevering in their goal of becoming capable enough to break Azmodeus away from his 'curse'.

Even if they lost their emotions or even their lives in pursuit of this goal, they would strive forward with the sole objective of getting the emotionless man to reciprocate their nigh suffocating levels of love.

Azmodeus was no fool and understood what went through the heads of these women. But in the end, all his emotions were fabricated by a portion of his Traits. None of them were any indication of what he truly felt in any given situation.

Most of the time, this worked toward his advantage, as no one knew his next move. But when it came to the hearts of those close to him, there was nothing else he could do but attempt to emulate what it was they wanted.

After the 800-year mark, he even allowed their sexual advances to go through to him, which they were initially overjoyed about. However, upon seeing the lack of response deep within his gaze, all of them discarded the idea of sleeping with him.

Instead of instant gratification, they worked toward becoming stronger—strong enough that no amount of indifference could ever hope to stop them from getting through to his heart.

They didn't care how long it took or how long they had to wait, for they would wait an eternity if it meant they could see the same overwhelming affection within his eyes while staring at them.

They wanted the same affection that suffocated them every time he passed them by...

Following his thoughts, Azmodeus led his troops into the barrier between worlds, letting them cause chaos and destruction in all the Squares!

All of which opened their doors for the craziest and most power hungry being to ever come to be...!!

...

With the passing of time, a season could change or your neighbor next door could get married. However, for one man who didn't care if he was termed a devil, the passing of time was nothing more than a cause for due process.

It had been over 10 years since the conquest of the Astral Plane commenced, and so far, not a single Square Ruler stood a chance against even the weakest of Azmodeus's Mirror Mirage's.

It didn't take long after the deaths of the various Square Rulers for the rest of the territories to fall apart. After all, no one held a candle to the overpowering army consisting of millions of Platinum Rank Experts and even a few hundred Adamantine Master's.

The number was staggering, and their strength was even greater, resulting in the defeat of not only single-leaf factions but also double-leaf factions!

Everywhere the Crimson Emperor and his savage army passed by, death was the only thing left behind...

Even surrendering wasn't enough for you to escape the attacks of the 'Crimson Battalion', as countless quadrillions of lives died at the hands of the Mirror Mirage's.

Speaking of the Mirror Mirages, they finished off any and all enemies using a special 'split method', effectively taking advantage of loopholes in the Infinite Evolution System.

Nevertheless, through the mysterious methods of Azmodeus, millions of Square's fell under his advance, and 1% of that amount was in the Double Leafed category.

Which was all to say that Azmodeus acquired immeasurable amounts of Physical Existence Points!

However, with the help of the system and exponential spikes in 'value per point' as one scaled the unit indicators of mathematics, these figures were converted into a manageable format.

An example of said format was presented before Azmodeus as he hovered in the skies while watching the earth for billions of miles light ablaze in great conflagrations of dazzling fire and blinding streaks of lightning.
