Chapter 423: Vol6 Ch11: Lord of Disaster

The scorching flames burnt everything away, whether it was people, trees, structures, the land, or the sky, everything was mercilessly burnt away.

「 Surrender and join the Burning Crusade, this way, you would at least be allowed to continue living 」

An entity over 6 meters in height with black patterns all over his body, a pair of horns that curved into the shape of a laurel crown, and a giant pair of beating wings behind his back were fighting against a so-called Hero. With a light swing of the flaming greatsword in his hand, he easily sent the Hero flying.

However, as the greatsword approached the Hero, the flames on it had automatically pulled back and ensured that its target wasn’t hurt too badly.

“That’s impossible, you damn invaders! You ruined our world, our home…” the Hero loudly declared and once again charged towards the demon.

「 Then I’m sorry… 」Fang Ze sighed.

What seemed like infinite flames burned in his heart as Principles and Ideals drifted around his sword.

「 Focus flames! 」a fire of intense heat erupted out of nowhere.

A thin line of flames suddenly manifested in the middle of the Hero’s body as his entire figure turned into a mass of flames that rushed towards Fang Ze’s body.

After becoming one of the three leaders of the Burning Crusade by offering up his own world, Fang Ze had obtained a large amount of Source Energy that allowed him to quickly nurture his Seed of Truth. His Pathway had already undergone a period of incubation and was now rapidly maturing.

He was already close to finishing this process when they arrived at this world, so after burning this world and obtaining its Source Energy, his Pathway would become even clearer. Perhaps not too long after this, he would successfully manifest his Pathway and truly become a leader in both name and strength.

The only thing that could be said about this was that the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon were truly magnanimous, being so assured with nurturing Fang Ze like this.

Right at this moment, Fang Ze looked up. His pair of crown-like horns seemed to have sensed something and sighed: 「 Wang Yuan… or perhaps, Negary? 」

「 If that’s the case, let me give you a hand 」Fang Ze thought to himself.

The flaming greatsword in his hand was then thrust into the ground beneath his feet, slowly drawing the energy of this world into this body, causing world-class disasters to occur all over the world.

Fang Ze didn’t hold much of a grudge against the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, but he did need to make some preparations for his own plans, and Negary might be a good ally to that end.

Not to mention his faint bit of inexplicable emotions towards that world as well.

As he pulled out the greatsword in his hand from the ground, a portion of this world’s disaster aura was extracted and combined with a bit of Source Energy, then was sent away through a hidden connection.

With his pair of giant wings blocking out the sky, the Progenitor Dragon opened his eyes a tiny bit before closing it again focusing himself on drawing Source Energy from this world. He was able to sense Fang Ze extracting a small portion of the world’s disaster aura, which he had never felt interested in before in the past.

But that didn’t matter, as Fang Ze wouldn’t be able to deplete the world’s disaster aura by himself anyways. The Progenitor Dragon didn’t care at all about that, since both he and the New Deity each had their own secrets, just because they were on the same side didn’t mean they needed to share everything with one another.

After sending away a portion of disaster aura together with Source Energy, Fang Ze stopped and resumed extracting the world’s Source Energy to nurture his Pathway.

…

〖 Tsk tsk 〗while repairing the Disaster world, Negary felt something.

He recognized a bit of power being sent through a certain hidden passage, which stimulated the tattered Disaster world’s response upon reaching it.

〖 You’ve matured quite considerably… Fang Ze 〗after reading the information contained within the bit of power, Negary quickly understood where it originated from.

The Burning Crusade had invaded and destroyed two worlds since they last met, and this was the disaster aura created from the second world being destroyed. It contained the aura of many disasters that could only manifest at the end of the world, perfectly mixed with a bit of Source Energy.

For all intents and purposes, this was a decent treasure, if this was poured into someone’s body, it was enough to instantly boost someone to the third stage of release, and if they didn’t die from that, they would be able to obtain a Seed of Truth from it as well.

It should be noted that other than obtaining a Seed of Truth from one’s [Origin], every other method of obtaining a Seed of Truth was exceptionally precious.

Of course, aside from these obvious benefits, the thing being contained within them was the real goal of this power transfer: some core data of the Disaster world.

As the Disaster world’s former [Protagonist], Fang Ze had offered up his entire world to the Burning Crusade for a seat among them, so during the process of extracting Source Energy from the world, he was able to use the [Protagonist Aura] to obtain a large number of Principles and Ideals from the world itself. This was the real reason he had been able to mature so rapidly, and now he had sent a portion of the world’s core data to Negary.

With this core data, this destroyed Disaster world would truly open itself up to Negary, which would help Negary’s plan in a crucial manner.

〖 Then let us begin 〗Negary directly infused the Source Energy here into the world itself. This was essentially a grain of sand in the desert, but it was significantly better compared to its previous state of being full of holes.

A normal Sand Realm had its own strict unique characteristic and rules, so unless the world changed itself, it would be very difficult to change this unique characteristic. In a sense, this was the world’s Pathway.

The reason why the SCR world could change so easily was due to its own characteristic of being amoeba-like, capable of imitating and transforming. If this wasn’t the case, changing the world’s characteristics was no different from damaging one’s own foundation.

The Disaster world was originally a psychic world. For the sake of fighting against the Burning Crusade, after the world spirit distributed a portion of its own authorities, it changed its original psychic characteristic into the Disaster characteristic, leading to a severe loss of power. In the end, even the world’s [Protagonist] had betrayed the world.

However, the current Disaster world had no such issue, since its foundations were already destroyed beyond recognition. This was the reason why Negary wanted to work on the Disaster world; it was simply the easiest to transform a world in this state.

〖 An entity that represents disasters itself continuously travels this tattered land. In order for this land to recover, it decides to bring disaster to other worlds… this tattered world will become its shackles, but its destructive capabilities will be irrefutable, the collective power of disasters of this world!! 〗

Upon this tattered, destroyed world, several people clad in an airtight suit of metal unrelentingly prayed and chanted, the aura of Impurity on their bodies flickered as their eyes contained nothing but devout frenzy.

Black fog that represented the disasters of this world was gathering towards the destroyed core of the world, golden lengths of chains were manifesting before being obscured by the black aura, converging the violent power into it.

The members of the Impure Hermit Order who were scattered all around this world, if their minds weren’t firm, were immediately affected as soon as they saw this entity coming into existence; various chaotic disaster information flowed into their minds.

They then undid the heavy and thick metal protection around their body, exposing themselves to the harsh environment of the Disaster world. Despite their lives being forfeit within seconds, their souls began to undergo change within the disasters.

In the end, an entity wearing a tattered suit of armor with a lower body made of black fog, eyes of scorching golden flames, and a body restrained by numerous chains came into existence. Its consciousness was chaotic, filled with nothing but insanity and destruction; if it weren’t for these chains, the entity would have already destroyed everything.

An artificial Evil God, [Disaster], but while these chains still existed, everyone may refer to this entity as——— the Lord of Disaster!
