Chapter 381: What 100+ Godforce looks like, Half-step Demon Overlord Realm
After what felt like both an instant and an eternity, Cassius flickered out of the space between higher dimensions. Upon reappearing in the outside world, he was immediately hit in the face with several overpowering auras.
"Well, shit," Cassius muttered as he saw a group of Heavenly Court Officials confronting Yimin, Exisia, and the others. "There are even Godlike Entities among them, and yet that silly old man couldn't assist me a little? Haiz…"
"Do you know who Yimin's Mashter is!?" Yimin fiercely growled, her tail defensively sticking up on end. "If you knew, Yimin bets da shits would fly out your ashholes in da fright!!"
"Commander, sir, do you understand what this Angelic Dragonoid Female is saying?" a Half-step Godlike Angelic Officer whispered to an Angel with eight wings and an intimidating aura.
"No," replied the Angel Commander of the Heavenly Court's 3rd Division. "But as a six-winged Angel, she should know better than to go this high up. It's clearly stated in Rule 4570 of the Rules of Heaven that any who fly this close to the Heavenly Father's abode are to be banished out of Heaven."
"And as such," he continued while flipping his stern gaze between Yimin and the other girls, "all of you are to be banished to HELL, effective immediately! Just like the first fallen son, you shall know the wrath of the Heavenly Father—"
"Yo, buddy, you mind moving out of the way?"
"!?!"
Instinctively striking out behind him, the Angel Commander just barely missed Cassius's head.
"Who are you!?" he shouted. "Are you planning to interfere with official Heavenly Court business!?? Wait… Why in the hell are you up here as well!?? Another rule-breaker!! You're banished too, then!"
Cassius pensively stared at the eight-winged Angel spitting all over the place. "You're going to need to chill out, my guy. The only thing I want is safe passage out of the 6th Arch of Heaven, as well as the Arches below it. But if you insist on banishing us against our will, then I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of the Big Man upstairs."
The Angel Commander's square-shaped face spasmed, his grip tightening on his golden spear. "Are… are you courting death!??"
WAAA!
Cassius's long raven-black hair wildly fluttered. The Angel Commander's aura was absurdly strong, even exceeding Zaraphina's, who revealed a small frown at this 'brazen bird,' as she internally named him.
"Say, friend," Cassius said with a friendly smile, his head tilting slightly to the right, "do you know what it means to truly move fast? I mean, really make use of one's speed to transcend common sense?"
"What are you talking about, rule-breaker!?" The Angel Commander got into a thrusting position, his face twisting in anger. "If you refuse to surrender and come with us right this instant, then I'll be forced to use more extreme measures to take you in! Your punishment will then be far worse than a mere banishment—"
*Tap*
"!!!!"
A tap came to the back of the Angel Commander's neck, but before he could turn around and slash out with overwhelming force, his vision dimmed. His eyelashes flickered, gradually coming to a close.
"Y-You damn rule-brea…."
Cassius chuckled a little at the last words of the Angel Commander before lugging him over his right shoulder. "That's what speed with over 1000 Unity and 100 Godforce looks like. Quite impressive, isn't it?"
"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"
Some time ago, while he and the others were traveling through the Heavenly Kingdom, he remembered his AP. Spending all of it, his Godforce soared, utterly shattering the 10 Godforce barrier.
That was around when Cassius realized that he was close to breaking through the Overlord Demon King Rank, the same rank as the Three Great Demon Kings. And though he couldn't officially break through such a grand stage just yet, he achieved somewhat of a Half-step stage between the Demon Lord and Demon Overlord Ranks.
Achieving this halfway point brought his Godforce from around 30 to the 100+ range!
"Hmm," mused Cassius, ignoring the trembling fingers the other Angelic Soldiers were using to point at him. "It only just passed my scrambled mind, but I just exceeded 1000 Unity. That means I can finally upgrade my Origin Village to Tier 5, which is definitely something I should do later."
"H-Hey, you…" One of the Angelic Soldiers finally found the courage to speak up, aiming his shaky sword in Cassius's direction. "Th-This is the territory of the Heavenly Court, a-and as such, you should know that you just committed a serious cr… crim…"
"A serious what now?" asked Cassius, his eyes glowing red like a vampire's. "If you have something you wish to say, then you should speak up."
"I- I… I…"
The Angelic Soldier, no longer able to handle the pressure Cassius unconsciously emitted, collapsed. His sword fell out of his sweaty palms, his expression drenched in fear.
"Anybody else have a problem with me?"
Cassius's terrifying demonic face and his distorted, inhuman voice scared the crap out of the gathered Angelic Soldiers.
Even genuine high-rank Demons were not as horrifying as this member of their own kind!
"That's good to hear," said Cassius, tossing the Angelic Commander at the ashen-faced Angels. "Here, you can have this one back. And hopefully, for your sakes, we never meet again."
"Master…"
It would appear that the palms and foreheads of the Angelic Soldiers weren't the only things drenched, for Yimin, Maxy, Zara, and even Exisia were sensually rubbing their thighs together. They got so lost in thought that it took them a second to register the fact that Cassius had already disappeared into the distance with Nyxvoldar and Raijin, the two true heroines.
"W-Wait for us, Master…!"
Then there were the Angelic Soldiers, all of whom were still staring at the departing demonic-holy silhouette…
"That man…" An Angel Supervisor mumbled listlessly. "He incapacitated the Commander, who has already achieved the Godlike Rank, in an instant… Just… just what sort of monster has sprouted up among our kind…?"
He and all the other Angelic Soldiers stood there, staring off into the distance.
For a while, they remained that way.
