Chapter 190: Obliterated (2/2), Emissaries of Higher Cosmos and Top 25 Warlords
Naturally, Aleron didn't waste time just observing the ongoing battle. He was also digging deeper into the mastery of space and time while occasionally giving support to his side on the battlefield.
Instead of comprehending a second Concept, he had decided to reach 2nd level in the Astral Reaver concept first because the difference between 1st level Concept and 2nd level concept was massive, to say the least.
The major benefit of a 2nd level Concept was a reduction of soul energy when utilizing the Concept's power. The reduction was massive 90% in the 2nd level, not to mention the increased potency of the skills that utilized a 2nd level Concept.
'Graystar was 23rd rank, and he didn't have a 2nd level concept, but I have to assume that the top 20 must have a 2nd level concept.'
Aleron thought as he looked at the battle. 'Even with my unlimited Magilore, I might struggle to defeat Warlords who have a 2nd level concept, and it's highly likely that they also have two or more Concepts.
[Astral: Heh, I am the most powerful Concept, master. We shall defeat everyone in our way.] [Gachapi: Well, the Concept that manipulates the flow of Space and Time is indeed the cream of the crop even among the myriad of possible Concepts.]
Aleron chuckled, 'Can't deny that. I am feeling like a God with its power.'
Aleron was weaving space and time attributes in new ways and his attention was drawn to the battle between Elysia and Davin as it seemed to near the end after five minutes.
Their confrontation seemed intense at first, but then Davin gradually started feeling suppressed.
Moreover, the panicking and troubled voices of the Warlords who were getting dominated by Aleron's summons filled the soul network as well, distressing Davin.
"Bitch, didn't you want to kill that kid? And why the fuck are his subordinates so powerful?" Davin cursed as he desperately unleashed a powerful attack, pushing back Elysia.
Elysia icily smiled as she successfully defended.
"You are an insect, Davin. One that only knows how to leech," Elysia waved her hand, conjuring five spears made of golden flame with black patterns that flickered onto the outward aura.
"So, just die like an insect."
Davin's expression was as ugly as it could be, with desperation flooding his eyes.
Within five minutes, 29 Warlords were already dead and the rest were desperately working together to fight off against Enorin and others.

"Tsk, that's why we shouldn't include the trashes above the top 10 in ranking-They are unreliable," a beautiful woman with long black hair and red eyes with long eyelashes clicked her tongue-7th ranked Warlord, Renia Nyxwist.
"I would have to agree with Renia."
"Well, this was our first official meeting after the emissaries arranged this, but it's already spoiled."
The dark blond-haired woman at the table raised her hand, "Silence."
Afterward, the silky brown-haired man beside her opened his mouth while smiling, "Even if we are lacking a member, we will begin the meeting. The reason you all are facing us right now is simple-we require you to summon this cosmos will with a method."
"The method is tricky because the will of this cosmos is like a juvenile with some in-build responsibility to ascend Warlords to a higher cosmos. It doesn't take a form or is active even." "You can say that the will of this cosmos is half-asleep as it just let the system of Cosmic Ascension Competition it built run automatically."
The brown-haired man stopped speaking while the 3rd person at the table continued with a wave of his hand, showing all Warlords a mystical orb with strange flowing particles that
changed colors constantly.
"Cosmos Core. The location of this core is nigh impossible to find unless a Paragon-rank lifeform makes a scan here, but that's also impossible because Paragons cannot descend to the lower cosmos and make such a scan. This is the rule of the Cosmos Realm."
"As such, we will first have to awaken the Cosmos Will fully and have it manifest itself before
us."
"The aim of this meeting is to decide on a way to wake it up-An event that demands its attention and...such events can only be achieved with very few means."
...
"So, it's time, eh?" Elysia smiled as she looked at Hell.
"It's time," Aleron nodded. "And I might join you for a bit soon because I am going to enact
judgment on myself for what happened at the start of my arrival."
"Well, the good thing is that you sped up the time in Hell, so although people inside would take full punishment, you can benefit from them faster," Elysia cheekily grinned. "Indeed," Aleron chuckled. "And, I also want people who repent to begin their new life soon in the real world," he added.
