Odyssey of the Blind God - Chapter 730: Conquest (2)

Nial was much stronger now than ever before. He had digested the energy remnants of the golden flower, and his Cursed Divinity was constantly digesting the millions of corpses he had devoured.

Over the course of one year – when he had been asleep and inside the Witness State – the Heart of Gluttony finished digesting the bodies of the Divine God, the Ancient Gods, and the ordinary Gods.

Thus, his current combat prowess was incomparable to before.

He was even in possession of two Familiars, who increased his strength as well!

Nonetheless, Nial’s current expression was bad, like really bad.

He was frustrated that everyone always jibed at him for defending himself. It was fine that they called him Dark Successor because he actually felt as if he was the Late God of Darkness’ successor.

But accepting being called Dark Successor and getting attacked because of that was something he couldn’t understand. Everyone made him seem like a tyrant, a piece of shit, someone who had to die, by all means. It was truly frustrating.

However, being a whimsy loser was not exactly helpful.

Nial knew that he had to stand up for himself and his people. That was the most important.

With that in mind, Nial began to demonstrate his power and the might of the Devil Army.

Others may frown at him and consider him vile and wicked, but it was not as if they weren’t already doing exactly that.

He would be fine.

The ten Infernal Devils, not restricted by the omnipotent power of the Origin Will, had already spread out. Eight Infernal Devils had split up to conquer one planet each, while the remaining two Infernal Devils swept through the entire stellar system to collect the Heligav Gods.

The two Infernal Devils also used their powers to restrict the usage of teleportation circles, spatial abilities, and the use of world bridges. Nobody could escape their master’s wrath and it was impossible to call for reinforcement.

Even if they called for reinforcement, there was no use. They would only reach the stellar system of the Heligav when everyone was already dead and the planets plundered.

Nial didn’t have to join the battle as he could observe his Devils’ actions, but he was not the type of person who remained idle.

He was already enraged. Why should he remain idle when he wanted nothing more but to ram his claws deep inside the Heligav Gods’ flesh?

Nial desired to pierce their heart, twist it in his hands and pull it out while visualizing their desperate and wrath-filled expression as their body grows weaker until the life in their eyes ceased.

The mere thought was already more than enough for Nial to feel happiness. After everything the Heligav did to him and the people he loved, it was about time to show them what kind of mistake they made by enraging the wrong person.

Did they actually expect that some Divine Gods or the Primordials would protect them? Were they stupid?

Nial was pretty sure that the latter was actually the case. The Heligav race was basically filled with muscle heads, but that was quite advantageous. If not for their idiotic attack on the Orion Shelter, and the assassination attempts, Nial might have actually forgotten about their past actions.

Fortunately, he recalled them once again.

Nial didn’t avoid fighting on the front lines. He used Shadow to travel to one of the biggest cities on the planet he had emerged first and released his reinforced dark energy through the ground.

No Heligav could tell what was going on. They only sensed an odd, very uncomfortable presence weighing down on them. The darkness spreading through the surface of the city couldn’t be detected at first.

It was in the middle of the night and most Heligav were forcefully woken from their sweet dreams.

Only when it was already way too late did the first quick-witted Heligav understand that something was terribly wrong. By then, millions of tentacles had shot out of the ground, piercing through the walls of countless buildings.

The darkness tentacles shot out of the ground, attacked the living beings all over the planet’s capital, and coiled around their limbs and neck.

Shocked to the core, most Heligavs were not even able to open their mouth, forgetting about attempting to escape the tight grasp of the darkness tentacles.

The following seconds felt like an eternity as their bodies were lifted out of their beds and pulled outside.

Nial visualized each of the millions of Heligav, who had no idea what was going on. They had been sleeping and were suddenly mid-air, held up by darkness tentacles.

Their movements were restrained and heavy pressure weighed down on them.

However, they were not yet dead.

“Do you guys know why this is happening to you?” Nial asked loud enough for everyone in the surroundings to hear.

He didn’t think that anyone would answer him, so he continued to speak.

“Most of you might be innocent, unaware of your superiors’ actions. That is also why you might think it’s unfair that I release my wrath toward you guys. But the exact same happened the other way around less than a month ago. Your people attacked the Orion Shelter with the intention to kill me. Forget about me, millions of innocent people from all kinds of races had been living in the Orion Shelter.

Others might say that I shouldn’t lower myself to the same level as my opponents and that I should act gracefully, and use my powers according to the responsibilities I’ve been given. But…why should I?” Nial’s voice grew colder the more words escaped his lips.

The air around him felt chilly and the force applied by the darkness tentacles increased slowly.

“Why would I care about that? Everyone already thinks of me as dangerous. So I might as well become the being they fear. That way, only those strong enough to actually face me head-on will be daring enough to attack…and not small beast-like pests such as you guys.

Who the hell was stupid enough to think that an idiotic brain-dead race such as the Heligav would be strong enough to kill me? I am strong enough to wipe out the Heligav even while sleeping!”

Nial figured that his words didn’t make sense to most present Heligav. They were innocent and had been sleeping soundly. However, he didn’t intend to leave anyone alive, not anymore.

The Heligav caused him trouble too many times, and it was time to give the Universe and clear example about what he would do to those who attacked him.

It wouldn’t end with the Heligav. Each of the dozen races who attacked the Orion shelter while he had been entrapped by the golden flower would face the exact same fate.

Nial was not afraid of the aftermath. He knew that it was necessary to make sure that he wouldn’t be seen as a pushover.

Nobody should even dare to think that they could take him lightly.

He wanted all races across the Universe to believe that his revenge was cruel, that he would obliterate the races of those who attacked him and his people.

His attack was not random in the slightest. Nial used their attack on the Orion Shelter as justification.

With that in mind, he snapped his fingers.

The darkness tentacles tightened around the Heligavs necks and the sound of millions of necks breaking rang throughout the entire city.

‘This is just the beginning!’
