Void Evolution System



'Huu…it's fun to see how that works every once in a while.' Damien thought to himself as he looked down at the destruction.

Every expert was capable of attacks like this, but firstly they rarely had the time to actually charge up such attacks in battle, and secondly using one's entire mana capacity in a single attack was never a good idea.

Unless one had an absolute advantage and was carrying out a true extermination, it was simply impractical to ever do so.

However, every practitioner wondered what it would be like if they exploded out all of their power in a single instant.

Some would even traverse the starry sky to find an empty location to test just that.

Nevertheless, as it was a rare thing to witness, both Damien and Hedrick took a moment to appreciate it.

But it wasn't more than a moment.

'Spacetime Reversal.'

Damien rapidly recovered his mana and once again fully emptied the tank.

Under his coercion, the world shifted and recovered to its past appearance, not to before the Black Dragon base was destroyed, but before it was even created.

'If only this was possible on living beings.' Damien sighed wistfully.

He could do something similar by affecting an enemy's lifeforce, but the actual process and result were entirely different.

Nevertheless, now wasn't the time to be thinking about it.

"Hey, drop the dumb face and prepare yourself. We're going to confront a far stronger enemy right now, and considering Beast Emperor Star's current forces, you're the only one who can take on that Supreme." Damien said as he nudged Hedrick and brought him back to reality.

Though, Hedrick couldn't be blamed for losing track of the situation. What Damien had just done was truly magisterial, even for an expert at his level.

But now that he'd been brought back, he wasn't going to ignore his responsibility.

Right, as long as his eldest brother was away, he was the strongest fighting force in the world. If he didn't do his job properly and let the Black Dragons reach the Emperor, the battle would truly be impossible to win!

"Worry not. I am prepared to lay down my life to hold the Supreme back," he stated confidently.

"Well, you don't have to go that far," Damien said.

"Nonsense. I am still at the 8th revolution. I cannot fight back a Supreme."

"Hmm, we'll see about that."

Damien smiled slyly and refused to elaborate, instead grabbing Hedrick's arm tightly.

"Fair warning; the first time is always rough."

"Wha—"

Wap!

The duo immediately disappeared, traveling several tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant.

The two of them moved as fast as they could, however, it was a given that the enemy who left before them…

Arrived before them as well.

***

When Elena arrived at the Inner Estate, it was already in disarray.

Disorder and lawlessness ran rampant as the flames of war enveloped the entire area. Bloody battles were taking place every few tens of meters, and the beings in this area were dying at an astonishing rate.

It was an all-out melee. It seemed these dragons didn't care one bit for tactics, completely subverting the thought that dragons were creatures who craved knowledge.

Of course, dragons like that existed, but these specific dragons were belligerent.

They didn't care about strategy, only about strength.

While it was inefficient, it had one benefit: the strong didn't oppress the weak.

Those who were strong fought against others who were strong, and those who were weak were left to deal with the rest. It was a type of respect that only those who respected strength as the highest authority conveyed.

'The battlefield is being led by the royal children. The 3rd prince and 1st princess are the strongest, they should at least be High Commanders. The 2nd princess is holding her own well since she's still on the weaker side. The 4th and 5th princes, as well as the 3rd and 4th princesses are…all dead. At this rate, it'll be impossible to stop the stronger enemies from breaching the defense line.'

No, in fact, it had already happened.

It was lucky that the Imperial Guard was made up of experts who were able to rapidly deal with those who made it past.

'The best place for me to help is…there.'

'Lightspeed.'

Elena turned into a beam of light as she shot forward with impossible speed, whizzing past the 1st princess and slashing her sword.

Shing!

A group of 20 1st revolution masters were cut into tiny pieces. Elena stood on the earth and scanned the battlefield, summoning her remaining Valhalla Souls to aid the situation wherever they were needed.

"I don't know who you are, but I appreciate the help!" The 1st princess shouted out.

"My name is Elena, and don't worry about it. I'm getting paid for this!" Elena responded with a smirk.

"Haha, I like the way you think! You can call me Liza!" 1st princess laughed and responded as she cut through another enemy.

"Good! The main army will be here within the minute! We just need to hold on until then!"

"Hahahaha! That's the second good news I've heard all day!"

"And the first?"

"I heard my little sister is back!"

"How touching."

Elena smiled as she pressed forward and joined the battle. The current outlook was positive, far more positive than the situation seemed when it first erupted.

As long as it continued that way…

But of course it would never continue that way.

Even with the support of Fate, disrupting such tightly woven plans required more than just a bit of effort.

WHOOSH!

The winds whipped fiercely, throwing back the stronger beings and shredding some weaker ones into pieces.

"So this is it?"

A voice echoed through the air, freezing the atmosphere.

A young man with the dull, hazy eyes of a corpse appeared in the air, indifferently looking down at the palace.

"Y-yes sir. He should be here." The Executioner next to him stammered submissively.

"Good. I've been waiting to meet him."

The Supreme gracefully descended to the ground and walked forward. The path before him cleared naturally as his mere aura made people instinctually revere him.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!"

The 3rd Prince rushed to interrupt his path, raising his sword.

"Wait, Johannes, sto—!!"

The 1st Princess, Elizabeth's warning was far too late.

Bang!

The 3rd Prince's body burst apart unprovoked, showering the surrounding few meters in blood.

However, even this blood parted when the Supreme passed over it.

"Lord Garvy, you've arrived! Please lead us to victory!"

A Black Dragon Executioner knelt down before the Supreme, his actions followed by the remaining Black Dragons…

Bang!

…however, his fate was no better than the 3rd Prince.

"Pests."

The Supreme spoke a single word before continuing his calm walk through the Inner Estate.

As the Black Dragon Execurioner's blood rained down to the earth, the battlefield truly froze.

Both enemies and allies were mere pests to be crushed…?

Just…what was this ideology?

While the Golden Dragons merely saw it as a terrifying enemy exerting his power, the Black Dragons knew better.

This attitude…

Was entirely different from the usual behavior of the Supreme known as Lord Garvy!
