'Just who is Damien Void?'
BOOOOOOM!
Sir Theon's thought was instantly proceeded by the sound of a muffled explosion.
He stood up, his eyes narrowing. He looked past the bounds of his residence to see…
A golden palace hovered in the sky. Behind it, a golden ring of mana formed like a halo. Currently, this golden ring was emitting furious light that transformed into a rain of swords that plunged into the earth below, absolutely demolishing the Lesser Nox pit in its totality.
With a single explosion, several hundred thousand Lesser Nox were incinerated to the point of no return. And even as the Supreme watched, the palace started charging for a second attack.
"Presumptuous!"
He slammed his hand down on the table, and without him needing to speak again, the High Commanders in the room moved.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air exploded as several powerful auras flared into the atmosphere. The High Commanders shot through the air and reached the golden palace in an instant.
"Who is so brave to charge into our camp!"
"Hmph! Who cares? Destroy this atrocious structure!"
The High Commanders galvanized their mana, causing a black tide to form in the air and crash down on the palace, enveloping it entirely.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Within the murky black waters, several deadly attacks were hidden. The palace found itself barraged by countless profound Nox Laws, the scent of death corroding its surface.
"Break for me!"
A High Commander shouted as he pushed his mana. He formed a strange shape with his hands, forcing his mana to follow.
"Death Spiral!"
A cyclone shot from his body and charged at the palace. While it looked like a simple attack that even a 2nd class could pull off, it actually hid a profound mystery of death, the concept of vicissitude, within.
This concept was especially useful for structural damage, as it spread corrosion on a more intrinsic level and even damaged the lifespan of materials, making them brittle and easily broken.
BOOOOM!
The spiral collided with the palace wall, pushing into its surface like a massive black drill. Sparks flew in all directions and a smoke cloud formed, bringing color to the darkness.
This ferocious attack was one of many. At least 10 attacks with the same level of force struck the palace in unison, bombarding it and forcing it into a state of inaction.
It was a domineering scene with no witnesses.
However, when the black tide cleared away, the palace stood unblemished.
"What…?!" a High Commander exclaimed.
Hearing it, a small grin spread on the face of a certain purple-eyed genius.
"Since your assault was unsuccessful, it's my turn now!"
The palace's golden light shined once again, sending a flurry of attacks back at the High Commanders and the earth below.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Each golden sword projection was terrifyingly sharp and powerful, forcing the High Commanders to acknowledge them.
And while they were stuck dealing with the attacks, the rest of the sword rain went unhindered as it crashed into the earth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOM!
"Who dares?!"
A roar resounded through the air. It was followed by the appearance of several hundred Higher Nox at the extreme peak of the 4th class who swarmed the ground below and shielded the camp from the sword rain.
Within the golden palace, Damien's grin only widened.
"Good, good! Send as many as you can, and then send your Supreme as the cherry on top! Hahahaha!"
His borderline maniacal laughter alarmed those who could hear him, specifically, the crowd of three women who resided in the palace with him.
That's right, the number of females in Damien's party increased by two in the time it took to find and reach the Nox base camp. Though, only one of them was corporeal.
Nevertheless, the three women had varying expressions on their faces. Alice maintained an attitude of curiosity when she woke up in such a mystical environment with an unfamiliar man. Alexandra was far warier, and especially in the current situation, she was panicking for her life.
As for Xinyue, she showed no expression at all. After leaving the Sanctuary, it was like she became a blank slate.
Damien didn't pay any mind to these women. How could they hold any importance when he was currently controlling a badass star weapon?!
'This is every man's dream!' He exclaimed inwardly as he stared into the various holographic screens that showed him the outside world.
'This is ducking awesome!'
He slammed his hand down on a certain formation node. The structure of the palace went through a subtle change as a row of cannons unveiled themselves from the multiple spires of the structure.
"Fire!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A rain of cannon fire joined the rain of swords. Despite the number of High Commanders increasing, the effect of their existence didn't increase at all.
They were forced down by the palace's weaponry, unable to even focus on protecting the camp below them.
Explosions became so commonplace that the air felt strange without ash in it. The hellish landscape became a true hell as the Nox who couldn't defend themselves were removed from the reincarnation cycle.
Damien's eyes twinkled.
The palace was showing its true greatness at this very moment.
What he was pulling now, perhaps even a Supreme couldn't do.
The amount of damage he was doing to the Nox's experts was negligible, but the rest of their army…?
It was impossible for those several tens of millions of troops to survive if the palace was allowed to continue its tyranny.
This was the product of God Rank defense. Even a Supreme would fall under the strikes of another Supreme.
The palace, however…
BOOOOOOOOM!
A world-crushing aura surfaced on the horizon. Sir Theon's figure stood in front of the sun and, despite his size, he seemed to eclipse it entirely.
"Bold fool who dares to attack my camp, face the consequences of your actions!"
Sir Theon slammed his hands together and moved his mana.
"Demonic Needle!"
Above his head, a needle materialized. It was several hundred kilometers in length, but its very tip was sharp to a microscopic degree.
As Sir Theon threw his arm forward, the needle moved at impossible speeds. It appeared before the castle in an instant and drilled into its surface.
Bzzzzzzt!
The sparks that flew from the collision sparked flames that burned even the atmosphere itself, the mere shockwaves were enough to plunge the earth below into chaos.
In fact, Sir Theon's attack likely killed more Nox than any single one of Damien's.
"We're dead! We're really dead this time!" Alexandra exclaimed.
"Big brother, are we going to die?!" Alice exclaimed.
"Who's your big brother, you damn hag?! You're thousands of years older than me!" Damien scoffed.
He couldn't fault the women for being scared, but…
The needle finally dissipated after causing immense environmental damage and even sweeping away several extreme peak Nox masters.
The dust cloud and sparks settled, revealing the palace's condition.
Sir Theon's eyes widened.
Anyone who could see it could only stare at it in bafflement.
In the place where the needle struck…
There was only a small chip in the palace's defense.
