Chapter 976: Lord of All Things Demonic (1/2)
After witnessing someone as powerful as Ossora being wiped out in basically a single moment, the others shuddered from the chill and immediately retreated. Even staying for a single second longer meant risking being taken out by Han Shuo.
The overlap of the six avatars of death, destruction, lightning, darkness, wind and water hovered in the air like a towering titan. Its divinity domain was a huge storm of six energies blending and melding together.
”Father, they're getting away!” Han Hao cried. But contrary to his expectations, Han Shuo didn't give chase at all. The gigantic figure in the air didn't move at all as it looked down on the single person that remained: Judas.
It wasn't that Han Shuo didn't want to pursue them. Instead, the six-energy avatar congregate had to be actively maneuvered by his consciousness and couldn't be willed to move around as he pleased. There were also lots of unknowns remaining about it, chief of which was why the lightning, darkness, wind and water avatars didn't have a telepathic link with him.
After barely being able to launch a strike to wipe Ossora out, the congregate avatar was about to break apart, especially when the aforementioned four energies spiraled out of control. He knew that if Dhaka and the rest didn't leave on their own accord, he might not have been able to take them out easily once these four energies completely de-harmonized.
Han Shuo was still rather unfamiliar with the powers of his avatars of death and destruction. He also barely had any knowledge about other eleven avatars coalesced from tens of thousands of demon generals.
What he had to do first was familiarize himself with the thirteen new avatars. Only after he figured out their strengths and quirks and integrated them into his consciousness could he bring out their full power. Before that, all he could do was overlay them in a brute-force manner without proper integration, which seemed to be rather dangerous.
Han Hao didn't seem to be aware of this, however. Seeing the new avatars wipe Ossora out in a single strike, he immediately believed that Han Shuo was now untouchable, so he shouldn't have let the rest go so easily.
”Bryan, you truly are breathtaking. I really didn't think you'd make another breakthrough so soon,” said Judas, the only Hegemon remaining. He still had an amiable smile on his face.
At the same time, Han Shuo's consciousness zoned out as odd sights began to surface in his mind. He saw many fleeting ancient writing with all sorts of colors. It cleansed his mind and soul, putting his whole being into a serene state.
'I am the lord of all things demonic!'
This epiphany had suddenly occurred to him. Perhaps being the lord of the House of Han for so long or worrying about the Five Elite Zombies and Han Hao gradually made him responsible for leading them. Not only did he have to do everything for them, he also had to consider how to keep them safe.
'The demon reigns supreme, I reign supreme, I am the demon that reigns supreme!' These words rang out loud in his still and calm sea of consciousness, causing waves to rise within it. Instantly, the sea of consciousness seemed boundless like it would overflow and spill into the skies above with nothing being able to stop it.
'All is demonic, all is me. I am demonic, I am all...'
The arcane thoughts continued to surface in him, causing all sorts of changes in his sea of consciousness. The bright stars in the sky seemed to travel along their circular paths without ever changing. Now, his sea of consciousness seemed to have morphed into a micro universe. It was as if he had fused with the universe itself.
Judas watched Han Shuo with shock. Nobody knew what he was thinking as he stood there unmoving, not attacking Han Shuo nor in a hurry to leave. After some time, Han Shuo gradually reawakened.
Suddenly, he realized that his consciousness was now at the Diablo Realm. However, the power in his body still hadn't gathered enough to the point that his body would transform and achieve the Diablo Realm like his mind did.
Looking down, he saw that his injured body had recovered mostly. While he was not at his peak, he had recovered more than half of his demonic yuan. Being able to heal up to this extent in such a short time shocked even him.
