Chapter 375 The Final Explosion, Godless Demon Transformation
Chapter 375 The Final Explosion, Godless Demon Transformation
Fwish!
Stark threw the last [Heaven's Spear] he had in stock.
No more cooldown gem or tricks anymore.
It truly was the end.
It didn't take more than half a second for the spear to reach the ground, Aphex and Follower understanding perfectly how fucked they were.
"..." Aphex actually simply gave up, looking up with a neutral expression, "Well..." he mumbled, "As long as Lord Godless descends, we'll all be back anyway, this is but a goodbye."
Follower, on the other hand, struggled against his instincts to flee, panic overtaking his confidence.
He was given tasks by the godless demon, that was true, and from them he had gained immense power, but why the hell did this kid have so many world-breaking skills?!
"Godless Demon Transformation!" he mumbled in a last ditch effort, using the perk he never used before.
And then it hit.
The earth trembled violently, cracks spider-webbing out from the impact site.
A blinding light, white-gold mixed with crimson, expanded outward, obliterating everything in its path.
For a moment, it felt as though the world itself would split apart.
But this time, Stark had planned for it.
And to be honest, it was already the fourth time if you counted the one [Father Hugo] cast.
The angel summoned by his spear had listened to his request, reducing the blast's radius by half.
The power was still devastating, but those at the edges of Termina, Sora and Lilith, remained safe.
Even Stark, who was still inside of the crater was also saved since it was just too deep.
When the light finally dimmed and the ground stopped shaking, silence blanketed the battlefield.
The only sound was Stark's labored breathing as he began to climb out of the crater.
He used some of his newly acquired [Crimson Balls] to keep going up and up, and eventually, he was able to get out.
"Sigh..." he looked around, his vision clouded by the mist from the explosion.
"CHOSEN! CHOSEN!"
"LET'S GOOO!"
"HE'S BACK!"
People outside the trial were all celebrating Stark's survival, but as he didn't even know he was being watched, he simply kept looking, his aura still flaring around him.
[You have slain "Aphex, The Lord of the Moon" and gained 100,000,000 experience points!]
That was the confirmation he needed.
He had won!
Ding!
[The boss of the trial has been slain by Chosen.]
[The Third Domination Trial has ended.]
"Phew..." Stark smirked.
With that, only he, Sora and Lilith survived that hell
15 at the start, 3 at the end, it was a good ratio considering this trial was from the [Death] difficulty.
Your journey continues on empire
Ding!
[All alive participants have been healed.]
[All effects have been removed.]
[All skill cooldowns have been reset.]
This meant that it truly was the end of the trial.
Termina was destroyed, all the commanders were dead and the moon apostle was defeated.
"Hopefully that's the last one," he groaned, unsure what could possibly be worse than what they went through.
[This trial had been broadcasted to the entire world, say "Hello" :)!]
A screen appeared before Stark, showing himself from the point of view of an invisible camera in front of his face.
"..."
[Say "Hello"! They've been watching you since the beginning!]
"..."
[You... don't want to greet them :)?]
Stark's pupils were shaking, the vortex of aura in his eyes intensifying.
Whoever controlled this trial just told him that all this hardship had been recorded and transfered for the whole world to see?
Every death of his, every skill he displayed... were shown?
But he knew he couldn't do anything about it, no.
And so he did the only thing he thought at that moment.
While winking, closing one of his eyes, the second emitting a powerful and intimidating crimson trial, he smiled:
"Did you have fun watching us?"
That's all he said before reaching for the invisible camera, punching it and cutting off the transmission.
Outside the trial, everyone was left in shock.
Stark's gaze and aura at that moment sent chills down the spine of millions, and his eyes made it look like he could actually see them through their screens.
"..."
"..."
No one dared to say anything, even the most powerful of classifiers sweating a bit.
Lilith and Sora, at the edge of Termina, began waking up thanks to the [Status Effect Removal], both of their bodies fully healed, looking at one another.
They had been asleep since the very first heaven's spear was thrown in the square, meaning they had no idea what happened.
All they knew was the panel indicating their victory has appeared.
Which meant... Stark had actually done it!
"Or maybe Chosen's dead and someone else finished the job," Lilith joked, though that was unlikely.
The moment she uttered that joke though, Sora lost her composure, grabbing Lilith by the collar, "Never said that again, you idiot."
It was the first time in her life she got mad, she didn't know why herself, she just didn't want to imagine that Stark was dead.
"W-Well, let's go back to the center and see..." Lilith mumbled.
"No need," Sora went back to her emotionless self, "Look".
She pointed at a massive panel that appeared in the sky, visible to all.
[Sending you back to reality in one minute, you will all be teleported to the same spot :)]
"To the same spot?"
Usually when faced with a Domination Trial, you would reappear where your body previously was.
What changed this time?
Back to Stark, he was still surrounded by the mist of the aftermath of the spear throw, observing his experience gains from killing Aphex.
100,000,000 experience points were no joke after all!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[Your level has increased to level 132, granting you five skill points and a boost in stats.]
[Your level has increased to level 133, granting you five skill points and a boost in stats.]
.
[Your level has increased to level 135, granting you five skill points and a boost in stats.]
A four level increase at this stage was phenomenal for a [Domination] class user, and Stark wasn't about to complain.
He then noticed the giant panel in the sky.
[30 seconds left before transfer to reality.]
[Reminder: all alive participants will be teleported to the same place.]
"..."
Stark didn't feel like questioning anything at this point, it was already bad enough as it is.
[20 seconds...]
If everyone watched, then does it mean the entire domination trial thing was revealed to the world?
[10 seconds...]
Does it mean Lana, her family, Sora's family and his own family all watched what was happening?
[5...]
What could the Domination Association do now that the secret is out? Will they reveal themselves as the protector of Earth all these years?
[4...]
They will surely get millions of fans.
[3...]
People will wonder how to get the domination class.
[2...]
Those who have it will bask in fame.
But to be honest, why did none of the domination users reveal their powers even until now? Why did nobody try to flex?
[1...]
In the end, though it did matter, Stark just sighed.
[Teleporting all participants, congratulations on your victory!]
But the panel that appeared in front of him shattered all of that relief.
[Winners: Sora, Lilith, Chosen and... Follower.]
He was alive.
