Chapter 192: Catching the Light
I floated calmly amidst the burning celestial wreckage of the central warship. The dark broken sky rained heavy white marble heavily down upon the city streets. I had just snapped a divine dreadnought entirely in half using pure kinetic velocity.
Down in the massive Velkrath plaza the situation escalated instantly. Nyssa had successfully forcefully overridden the entire underground dimensional foundry.
The single skyscraper sized Void Steel Railgun reached absolute maximum magnetic capacity. Nyssa stood in her blazing hot underground factory and forcefully powerfully pulled the heavy iron firing lever.
The resulting sound was not a simple loud mechanical explosion. It was the absolute violent tearing of physical space.
A colossal hyper dense black slug shot aggressively out of the massive iron barrel. It moved with such sheer terrifying velocity that it completely bypassed the fundamental concept of atmospheric friction.
The thick black projectile sniped a second colossal marble warship directly straight out of the cold night sky. The hyper dense metal perfectly ignored the thick overlapping divine shields.
The holy dreadnought instantly violently crumpled inward and detonated in a massive blinding golden fireball. Burning holy debris crashed heavily into the distant jagged mountains.
The mortal industrial engineers had just officially killed a God.
The destruction of two massive celestial flagships triggered an absolute elite divine response. The cold freezing air around my floating starmetal body violently abruptly warped.
Blinding intense flashes of pure holy energy materialized directly in the dark sky.
Three towering celestial entities teleported directly out of the burning white wreckage to completely surround my floating position.
The golden System interface flickered aggressively in front of my glowing red visor.
DING!
[System Alert: Level 215 Archangel Triad engaged.]
They were not simple winged foot soldiers. They were elite heavenly commanders. They possessed twelve massive glowing wings and thick pristine platinum armor.
They did not wield standard physical iron swords. They held massive terrifying halberds forged entirely from pure condensed sunlight.
The sheer intense heat radiating continuously from their divine weapons threatened to instantly completely boil the surrounding clouds.
"You have committed the ultimate unforgivable mortal sin," the lead Archangel declared loudly. His booming arrogant voice echoed with heavy intimidating divine thunder.
"You hold stolen planetary Godly Authority. You wear forbidden ancient draconic metal. Surrender your stolen biological core immediately mortal. Submit quietly to the high heavens and we shall generously grant your filthy industrial city a swift painless execution."
I looked coldly at the glowing arrogant triad. They truly blindly believed they were the absolute arbiters of universal justice. They viewed my sprawling beautiful empire as an ugly biological mistake.
"I do not submit to arrogant cosmic parasites," I growled deeply. My heavy metallic voice vibrated with absolute crushing resonance.
"I absolutely exterminate them."
I did not give them a single second to recover their arrogant holy composure. The three Archangels roared in total unison. They swung their massive sunlight halberds with absolute precise lethal intent.
They attacked at literal blinding light speed.
To a standard mortal biological observer they simply vanished completely and reappeared directly beside my neck. The divine strikes were specifically perfectly designed to completely vaporize my physical form instantly.
But my highly evolved Sovereign brain was entirely totally unbound.
The Absolute Kinetic Perception buff completely utterly took over my biological processing. My mental calculation speed entirely flawlessly transcended standard physical reality.
The terrifying light speed divine strikes slowed down to a pathetic incredibly sluggish crawl.
I peacefully calmly watched the glowing condensed sunlight blades inch slowly toward my thick starmetal armor in perfect flawless slow motion.
I effortlessly automatically calculated their exact physical trajectory down to the absolute smallest atomic level.
I did not even bother trying to frantically dodge. I boldly confidently raised my bare heavy starmetal hands.
I caught the condensed sunlight halberds perfectly firmly in my thick open palms.
The resulting kinetic shockwave was completely apocalyptic. The loud concussive blast completely shattered the atmospheric sound barrier dozens of times simultaneously.
But my heavy Level 200 Dragon-Mech armor did not yield a single tiny microscopic inch. I held the light speed weapons perfectly still.
"Impossible!" the lead Archangel shrieked loudly in pure terrifying absolute horror. His perfect glowing eyes widened drastically.
"Your holy light is completely pathetic," I whispered coldly firmly.
I forcefully aggressively crushed my thick starmetal fingers together. The pristine condensed sunlight weapons violently completely shattered into harmless floating golden sparks.
I fired my heavy jet thrusters and stepped incredibly deep into the open wide guard of the lead Archangel. I powerfully drove my heavy right brass fist completely straight through his thick platinum chest plate.
I forcefully grabbed his glowing celestial spine and ripped it entirely violently out of his back. The Archangel disintegrated instantly completely into falling golden ash before he could even form a single scream.
The remaining two Archangels panicked completely totally. They lost all precise divine discipline. They lunged at me desperately frantically with bare glowing holy hands.
I ignited my ancient draconic reactor to absolute maximum burning capacity. I heavily channeled the pitch black Flame of Death entirely around my thick brass knuckles.
I closed the short physical distance instantly. I reached out and violently brutally grabbed both of their glowing delicate throats.
"The high heavens belong entirely to the Forge," I roared loudly with absolute total dominance.
I crushed their celestial necks simultaneously forcefully. Their beautiful flawless bodies instantly turned into falling thick golden ash.
I aggressively eagerly ripped the three massive glowing celestial cores directly from the collapsing thick dust clouds.
I forcefully violently crushed them all securely in my heavy starmetal palms and absorbed the immense pure concentrated cosmic energy.
DING!
[System Alert: Three Level 215 Archangel Cores successfully entirely consumed.]
[Sovereign Core efficiency violently exponentially increased. You are now Level 220.]
The absolute overwhelming cosmic power surge was completely physically terrifying. My dark green heavily scarred skin felt infinitely denser than collapsed dark stars.
My rapidly evolving mental processing speed instantly effortlessly expanded to peacefully observe the entire massive solar system. I stood at the absolute supreme pinnacle of biological physical evolution.
But the brutal cosmic war was definitely absolutely not over.
The golden System interface flickered wildly aggressively with highly unstable chaotic digital energy.
DING!
[Warning: Supreme Celestial Attention Acquired.]
The remaining massive marble warships floating high above the capital suddenly abruptly stopped firing their heavy orbital cannons.
The screaming lesser angels actively battling the pregnant Queens on the lower palace balconies froze completely rigidly in place.
Every single celestial entity in the entire dark sky slowly respectfully dropped to their knees in midair. They entirely dropped their heavy golden weapons.
They bowed their glowing heads directly straight toward the highest distant point of the shattered atmosphere.
The dark heavy cosmic rift above the planet began to violently rapidly expand outward. The distant stars themselves seemed to instantly utterly dim in pure terror.
A singular blinding terrifying presence began to slowly quietly descend from the absolute dark deep void.
The Supreme Creator was coming.
