Book 6: Chapter 55

All Across the Universe

No matter where someone is in the universe, every last being feels the effects of the battle of the gods. All the way down to the smallest of insects as waves of power soar across every last world, leading to the worlds atmospheres and weather cycles being affected in the process.DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

But little to none of them know what exactly is happening. Unlike those on Earth and Tartarus, where every last demon and human holds their breath whenever they look up at the massive screens floating above their heads.

The battle itself goes on for entire months, and during this time, life on Earth and Tartarus slowly begins to return to what it used to be now that the void creatures themselves are gone. However, despite this, no one relaxes. No one feels safe.

And everyone spends at least a few hours every day watching the battle.

Because this battle will determine the survival of the universe at large.

Even the fae and other spirits residing within their realms in the void keep watch on the battle. None of them daring to get anywhere near it, but also not wanting to miss a second of it.

Out of the spectators, a small group of them stands out.

The Demon King repeatedly taps his foot on the balcony of his palace as he stares up at the screen directly above him. High in the sky.

As the other Demon Lords – except for the Blood Calamity – all gather around him on the balcony alongside the leaders of each Noble Clan, looking up as well.

Some of them feel anxiety. Others fear. Both directed towards their own princess and the Voided Overlord itself.

And some even feel reverence, or even awe.

At the same time, on Earth, all of the Knights of Humanity gather atop White’s tower in the middle of the ocean. Just staring up at the sky with the Blood Calamity standing next to the White Knight of Humanity.

The two holding each other close as they watch their daughter fight for both her own life and the lives of every other being in the universe. Each feeling proud of her, and, consequently, ignoring the look of glee she has on her face and replacing it in their imaginations with a serious expression fitting a savior.

And far away from her tower, on the other side of Earth, where the Silver Association base is, Allen and Cynthia can be seen standing on the roof of their building watching the battle in silence. Merely worrying about their adopted daughter as Belle and Arthur stand not too far away from them holding each other as well. Their wedding having been delayed due to the battle.

Or, at least, I thought it was.

My opinion changes as I find myself gaping at the creature just seconds later.

As the Voided Overlord’s gaze suddenly narrows at me with absolute rage in it and the creature suddenly deforms itself. Turning into nothing but void energy.

The same as how I often turn into blood.

I watch the void energy turn into a large swirling mass in space, just straight up devouring the Red Plague I had inside of it. Then it slowly forms a single shape.

That same humanoid shape I saw earlier on in the battle.

My eyes narrow at the Voided Overlord, only for it to open its mouth unnaturally wide and let out a powerful screech.

I lower the sensitivity of my ears before deciding to follow suit and transforming into my own humanoid form, with my usual outfit on.

Then the two of us find each other facing off once more.

Except this time, I feel it.

The Voided Overlord is on its last legs.

But at the same time, it’s as strong as it can possibly be right now magic-wise.

I glance at Earth and Tartarus for a second before refocusing on the Voided Overlord, ignoring my own exhaustion in the process as my grin slowly morphs into a serious expression.

Let’s finish this.
