Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

As soon as the black dragon showed itself in the skies, the rest of the Canzers felt its oppressive aura try and repel them from coming forward.

If they were just by themselves, they would have immediately turned around and left the place. Who cared if they were going to inherit a kingdom if they were going to die for it?

However, there were thousands upon thousands of other Specialist-level Canzers here with them. They weren't alone. This gave them the hope that maybe, the black dragon wouldn't be able to kill all of them. And somehow, one of them would be able to penetrate their defenses and kill the humans.

They were hoping that others would get killed, and they would survive long enough to inherit the Kingdom. That was what they were all thinking when they faced the black dragon.

They rallied under the assumption that the black dragon couldn't kill all of them.

But that was faulty from the very beginning. She was a dragon. No matter if there were a million of them in this world, they couldn't hope to defeat a Dragon that had already lost its weakness.

Not only that, they thought that the humans were easy pickings. After all, when the Dragon Queen Malificient announced to the world that anyone could inherit her kingdom, she didn't tell them about Atlan.

So, they thought he was simply just one of the weak humans that were close to dying.

They charged, stomping on each other and the forest trees to try and get to them as fast as possible.

But as soon as they stepped into the dragon's territory, the environment around them suddenly changed. They looked around and saw blackness above their heads. And within this dark heaven were a couple of white spots that twinkled in the distance.

Some Canzers marveled at the scenery. After all, this was outer space! They had never seen this kind of thing before.

For others, they ignored it. They thought it was mere decoration.

But as soon as they tried to dash towards the humans, they suddenly found themselves unable to push their feet to the ground. No matter how much muscle and chitin they used, they couldn't feel the ground underneath their soles.

When they looked down, they were stunned to find out that they were slowly floating up!

The worst thing about it was that they seemed to be unable to do anything about it.

No matter how much they tried to move their body to jump or fall, they couldn't move their body the way that they wanted to.

These Canzers had never experienced zero gravity before, meaning they didn't know how to move or even balance themselves in the air.

A lot of them ended up rotating around themselves, making them nauseous. And there were some who were unlucky and ended up far too high above the ground, unable to move themselves down.

They struggled and struggled, but there seemed to be a strange force that pushed them further up and into the stars.

As they got higher and higher up in the atmosphere, they realized that they were leaving the ground faster and faster than before. It was as if they were accelerating at a constant rate!

It only takes a few minutes for those unfortunate Canzers to find themselves shot off the planet, and onto the endless chasm of outer space. And no matter how much they screamed, they couldn't seem to utter any sound out of their bodies.

It didn't even matter if they had multiple clones beside them. They all fell into the deepest depths of outer space regardless of how many clones they could create.

The black dragon smiled as she watched this. No matter how much the little Canzers struggled, they could not escape from her Domain.

This whole place was her territory. There was nothing that they could do.

Of course, some Canzers seemed to be able to find a balance within themselves. Some also had a fortunate physiology that allowed them to propel themselves in a zero-gravity environment, making traversing the domain easier than before.

But that was only limited to movement. As for defense or attack, they were useless.

Thousands upon thousands of Specialist-level Canzers were flailing around in the air, trying desperately to move towards the humans.

The Enchanted Queen then looked at Atlan with a smile.

'Here. I served them up to you in a nice platter,' she said.

Atlan looked at her, confused as to what she was implying.

'Fufu…don't you get stronger with every kill you get? This is the perfect opportunity for you to improve your strength a lot more.

There are about a thousand Specialist-level Canzers out there waiting to be killed and harvested for power. Why do you think I created this domain? I could have just decimated them all with a fraction of my power, but I didn't. I wanted to give that honor to you as a way to atone for my tardiness earlier.'

Atlan couldn't believe the Queen's words. She treated Specialist-level Canzers as if they were mere easy pickings.

But Atlan couldn't help but agree with her words. This was the perfect time for him to gather more power and more experience.

Now that the Canzers were floating in the air, they were easy to target with his Cherubic Retribution.

As long as Atlan created double the amount of clones than the current number of Specialist-level Canzers, then he could make sure that two clones would target one Canzer, dealing enough damage to kill the beast.

"This…this could be really good," Atlan uttered to himself.

Perhaps the rewards he would get with these Canzers would be greater than what he got from killing the Dragon Queen Malificient.

Atlan closed his eyes and manifested the giant needle and giant ball of yarn. It started to stitch a very accurate clone of himself.

After a second, this clone used its own giant ball of yarn and needle to create its own clone.

This continued onward, with Atlan's clones increasing at an exponential rate.
