The world came to an absolute stillness. Aside from the individuals who are trying to snuff out my life using their combined might, which formed a Creator-level attack, the others are frozen. Be it concepts or living beings, none could escape its influence.
Though, I might be feeling too good right now.
"Mn..."
Just like before, chills are sent in my entire body, making me feel so damn good. My breathing became a bit haggard, and well, a faint blush appeared on my cheeks. Fortunately, it soon subsided to a controllable level.
"As expected, it really did calm down after everything "I" have done so far. It no longer rejects me, huh."
In the past, I used this power a 'couple' of times to get out of predicaments. For some unknown reasons, I kept encountering this so-called "xianxia b*llsh*t" that "I" have discovered during "my" time of searching anime and light novels. Though, it's the best phrase to describe my early life since... I fought against Grand Realms as an Aura Knight, Gods as a Demigod, and a Creator God as a Main God.
It was only until I killed the very last of my opponents' lineage did the assaults stop. Of course, there are also many that I spared due to some circumstances.
Anyways, the drawbacks of using this is none other than the bloodlust that it generates in me. It blinds my rationality to the point that I'll get affected even as a Creator back in the days.
Right now, everything is going as "I" have planned.
An invisible attack is sent right in front of me. It is filled with the Creator-level powers that they had temporarily converged through the several Partial Creator attributes.
Alas, this is their limits as inhabitants whose very beings are flawed.
All of the seven sword fragments in my back proceeded to form a circle in front of me and blocked it. The power came in direct contact with them, but the former couldn't even scratch the latter. They formed golden sparks as they clashed, but that's it.
This attack lasted for 10 seconds before the attack dissipated.
"Thanks for giving me the time." I softly murmured before I held the [Tail Caliburn] in front of me.
With it now being in its [Unlimited Mode], I sensed the power that I previously gathered in that entire minute manifest. It got absorbed into the blade, causing it to become ablaze with various flames and concepts.
The images of the clocks in my eyes started ticking furiously as I manipulated the space where the civilizations of these Incubators are present to align in a single line. I sensed some confused emotions, but none of them are expressing their fear.
"War."
What I am about to do right now reminded me of the most chaotic point of my life. That time when the lives that fell down from my blades are countless—when I didn't care about my enemies as I fought to fulfill my self-interests. Surely, I must've killed innocents at that time, but I didn't regret it.
Just like in my student's case, she regretted everything that she'd done and formed the highest-level [Heart Demon] instead.
Enough of this.
I raised my [Tail Caliburn] above my head. The power present in it had surpassed most of what my Creator-level self could do. Hence, to these entities who didn't have a single Creator God in them, they're done for.
All of them tried to claim my life through their "connection"; this will be their end.
"Break Release. Ultimate Mode." I chanted the required syntaxes for the attack to work. "Final... Blazer!"
The moment I swung down my sword, a flame pillar with infinite length appeared and ran through until the end of this cosmos. The power behind this attack is magnified with the [Unlimited Mode], compressing a hundred slashes in one slash.
Heat of unbearable levels is being emitted by it, giving form a new kind of energy that the universe can usurp.
While Creator Gods can affect reality to a certain extent and create new worlds, the ones that had far surpassed it is no longer bound to such rules. The "Law of Conservation of Matter" didn't work at my attack, thus "creating" matter itself.
"It's starting."
The Incubators gathered around me are only the first ones to be affected. Soon, the black and white flames scorched everything it passed by. When the cores of the planets, stars, and suns got affected by its sheer aura alone, they entered a supernova state, indirectly killing countless numbers of people.
From their "connection", I sensed the life signatures dwindling in an extremely fast rate. Five seconds later, all that's left is a single one, Kyuubey.
[You have killed 987,200,999 entities below the God-level Realm. Extract?]
[You have killed 991,999,333 entities below the God-level Realm. Extract?]
[You have killed 801,920,225,000 entities below the God-level Realm. Extract?]
you have killed 12,300,919 entities at Ascendant God Realm. Extract?]
[You have...]
"Tsk, tsk. If I had this before, I would've ascended to the realm in a span of a year, just like the other "me". Power systems are nothing but trash if one has an assistant such as this...
I kind of feel sorry to those poor fellows who lock themselves up for millions of years when a single treasure from [The Root] is enough to slap them in their faces.
No doubt, they would die out of shock, humiliation, anger, self-pity, and so on.
Do I even need to do quests at this point?
[To answer Master's inquiry: Soul Points will still be rewarded from quests, but the other rewards will be more abundant. A would be opened once the designated system upgrades start. It will also help with the suppression against the .]
How much is needed for that upgrade?
[Answer: Version 5.0 is required for the function along with the others. A total of 80% of the below God-Realm entities are needed for the upgrade. You can also choose to sacrifice 20% of the Ascendant God, 10% of the Main God, or 2% of the Ancient God entities as alternatives.]
No thanks, go use the 80% ones.
[Affirmative. The upgrades will now start in the background.]
After dealing with the assistant's matter briefly, I turned to look at Kyuubey, who didn't have a single hint of fear in his eyes. Though, confusion can be seen oozing from it.
"Why did you spare me?"
"Well, I've wanted to have a small talk with someone like you."
"Me?"
Kyuubey became more bewildered as a result. This is the reason why their "higher-level civilizations" couldn't understand humans...
"Are you aware of your difference with humans?"
"Them? Very so."
"Oh, care to share your thoughts?"
"Alright. First of all, while we're both rational beings, it seems that we lack something that they have. Emotions."
"I" share the same sentiment as him after our first meeting. Homu-Homu explained their behaviors to me as well, in which they're very confused as to why Magical Girls are angry at them for turning them into Magical Girls.
To put it like this:
Why are they mad? We fulfilled their wishes at our own cost. If they are surprised at something, it's because they didn't ask for it. If they did, we wouldn't have hidden it from them...
Kyuubey continued speaking.
"We couldn't understand their reactions, emotions, and decisions. They are truly surprising. This might also be the reason why we couldn't generate energy the same as them."
"Fair point."
I nodded before signaling him with my own eyes to elaborate further.
"Back when the first discovery of humans happened, plans regarding the advancements of our civilization immediately formed in our minds. As a rational being, our instincts urge us to transcend all limitations. This universe, while still alive, will die at some point. What we aim is for our civilizations to withstand the universe-ending scenario and prosper beyond it."
"I" got this thing right. They truly moved for their own interests, not for the greater good of this universe. After all, they're dealing with young children, hence flowery words are used to deceive them.
"Of course, none of us expected that your arrival will signify the end of our civilizations. With your power, it is a fair conclusion, I must say."
"You accepted your defeat?"
"It is only the logical conclusion that any one of us could've reached."
"I see..."
If anyone views this from another perspective, their existence can be said to be pitiful. They understand, yet cannot understand. They are rational, but has no emotions. They have desires, yet it is not truly a desire.
It can be said that they moved based on their own instincts instead. They didn't live their own lives fully and instead kept on doing something that they didn't really want to.
"What a sad lot."
"...We are."
"Any last words?"
"None. Complete extermination of the enemy is a must in the war. It is deemed logical."
Wordlessly, I slashed at this white fox. Blood splattered in the vacuum, making it float in place with all the flesh and innards present.
[Elimination—Kyuubey has been completed. 150,000 Points will be awarded after the conclusion of this mission.]
[You have eliminated 1 Ancient God level entity. Extract?]
It came from the Chat Group, something that [The Root] must've created for something. As for its purpose, I don't care.
It's simply "like that" anyways.
I looked back at Earth, only to see the insane amounts of miracles about to finish its job. Roman and future Homu-Homu's ability could only slow it down like this, I see.
I have to thank my current state for making our conversation an instant.
The remaining 90% of the erupted when I completely removed the restrictions that I placed few seconds ago. Even with all that cosmos-destroying attacks, I decided to only use 10% of it to imbue my attacks with the beyond-creator attribute, which made it impossible for them to block nor prevent the destruction that those flame pillars can cause.
The tinges of white hair that I have turned into black like an ink being absorbed by a canvas. My eyes turned blood-red, the same pair of eyes that I used to have. Lastly, the attribute manifested in itself as a pair of black canine ears appeared with a "poof!"
Grasping the [Tail Caliburn] in my hand, I returned back to Earth with a kill count of innumerable amounts of living beings.
The world came to an absolute stillness. Aside from the individuals who are trying to snuff out my life using their combined might, which formed a Creator-level attack, the others are frozen. Be it concepts or living beings, none could escape its influence.
