Chapter 369: Tribulation Of The Gods (1/2)

BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Crackling with enough power to shatter worlds simply by its buzzing, a powerful cloak of darkness hovered like a mist around my body, protecting me from unnecessary danger.

Sitri, Levithan, Baphomet, Yemashelitl, Ezra, and lastly, Eithan were now all within my tribulation bring to a level of unknown proportion. I did not know what the upper limit of divine tribulations was or if there ever was one. But the skies were gone, the air stale with the Dao of Destruction, leaving only a sea of Azure death.

”Adrienne,” I gently called, knowing Sitri was far too busy battling in subspace to bother. Appearing from my very shadow, she smiled with an ashen expression.

Frowning at her pale grimace, I wearily spoke, ”Will it be too much?”

”I would not have shone if it was my prince.” she weakly pronounced, looking bearly able to stand, ”This level of power cannot hurt us. But you... you will be dead simply by the shockwaves. You may not be able to sense it, but this tribulation is absorbing divinity.”

”It's curious, is it not? Such a power that could decimate entire worlds could not harm you, but whatever occurred in your castle was able to.” I probed, knowing it was not the time.

”I can neglect the force damage but, the rest you will have to do.” She cunningly muttered, closing her eyes. ”Also, if you must know, Lilith is with me... I got the spikes out but”

Arching my lips, I grinned, ”Oh, I know, that was why I blasted her off the island. I needed Sitri's full attention on me and my spear so that you could grab her.”

”You knew!” she shouted, snapping her gaze toward me. ”

”But of course.” I jokingly stated, sending a measured stare towards the devil and angel standing idly. It was sad, but these things could not even think for themselves, unlike my faceless. There were simply droids. ”Why else would I strick my wife? Who could nearly show ten percent of her strength? Any way hold these two down. I will handle the rest.

”You truly think so?” The all-powerful voice of Aldrich resounded, sending shivers down those that heard his mighty voice. ”You think it will be that easy?”

Licking my lips, the nine suns within my Dantian shone with power, absorbing Qi till another resounding echo took off. Rippling through my body, the path of Abyssal Night started to refine the excess Qi while distributing each strain of qi equal into my nine suns.

Feeling my power rinsing more and more, I could hear my very bones beginning to crack before reforming.

”Aldrich,” I softly muttered, oddly calm this time around. Maybe it was due to the Path of Abyssal Darkness flowing endlessly around me, refining both my body and Qi; I did not feel that anger from before. ”Are you here for Sitri or me?”

”Both,” he surprisingly replied. ”A single strike and the Path of World will be at your hand, but I am sure you already know this.”

Pondering the limitless power growing out of hand, I remained still, turning to the spear within my palm; I held a grin, ”Aldrich, did you know I would be the next prince of Noctem?”

”Yes and No. He—”

”You mean my brother,” I correct, knowing Aldrich was simply trying to push me deeper into a whole by wasting time.
