Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

...Boom...

The female angel flew back, spanning thousands of mythological units.

"I barely dodged the attack," the female angel thought as she stabilized herself. On her cheek was a long mark that was bleeding.

"Interesting. I'm quite jealous of your light law," Void said as he pulled back his punch.

"But have you forgotten that fire is also explosive?" Void said with a grin. It was too late for the female angel to process what was happening as an explosion occurred.

...Boom...

The fourth layer of space around them shook.

"Come on... Come on. Don't die yet... let's play some more," Void pondered with a sly smile as he looked at the center of the explosion.

"You are not the only one with a secret attack," Void heard a faint voice.

"99 Divine Purifier Slashes," the female angel said as 99 different attacks from space-time fell on Void.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What a surprise," Void thought, unable to react as the strikes landed on him.

"He should be dead or at least seriously injured," the Rank 3 female angel thought with a smile. That attack had used a lot of her strength. She was a bit drained now.

"Well done. That attack actually hurt a bit," a male voice was heard as Void's body came into view.

"Not even a scratch?" the female angel was shocked as she looked at the being in horror.

"We are just beginning, so let's start," Void said with a chuckle.

"How... how strong is your armor?" the female angel asked through gritted teeth.

"Armor? Ha, that's my scale," Void said as the female angel opened her mouth in shock.

"If his scale is that strong, then what if he wears armor? Heck, I can't even break through his scale, and he isn't wearing armor," the female angel thought, looking at her white armor with a frown.

"Hmm, he should have a weakness. No, he must have a weakness," the female angel thought, gripping her sword tightly.

...Boom...

Void appeared in front of her.

"You," the female angel said in shock.

"Shh... what's your name?" Void asked with interest.

"What... why?" the female angel was shocked by this question. They were in a life-and-death battle, and he was asking for her name.

"Your name, Angel," Void pressed with a slight grin.

"I'm... I'm Nix," the female angel said, realizing that, at a particular moment, a sword was at her neck.

"You are quite excited," Void said with a smile.

"Me... no," Nix replied.

"Who's talking about you?" Void suddenly said as a white, wide, giant sword appeared.

"Nice work," Void said, grabbing his wide white sword.

Nix watched this with a frown. "This is the first time I will give someone a decision. You are free to decide. The first option is to die, which I will gladly do, and the second option is to be my slave," Void said with a grin.

(Host, that is a wise decision. Her luck is incredible, the same as her destiny. She will be a fine slave.)

"Yeah, thanks for the heads-up earlier."

(You are welcome, Host.)

Void grinned as Nix thought about this. Earlier, the system had told Void that the angel was special. That's why he asked for her name. Now her decision depended on her—whether she would be a slave or a soul. Both start with an S, so either way, Void gains.

The difference is that one is a short-term goal, and the other is a long-term goal. Void plans for the future now. After all, he is a strong powerhouse; he will wage wars on his own, conquer worlds, and destroy worlds too.

"I..." Nix started talking but paused, looking at Void's face. She saw the grin fading away.

"I don't have all the time in the cosmos, so don't make me wait too long," Void said with a plain expression.

"You... I would rather fight you demons to death than become your slave," Nix said through gritted teeth.

"What's this strange feeling? Why do I feel like I made the worst mistake of my life?" Nix suddenly felt uncomfortable after saying it.

"Well, my slaves always like to be convinced personally by me. This is why I don't like giving living beings the chance to choose. After all, they choose the worst decision there is," Void said with a grin.

"You... what are you saying?" Nix asked in fear.

"Depends on my mood. You will either die or experience pain that will make you wish to die," Void said with a chuckle.

"System, is she at the level of Sun Wukong and the others?" Void asked with a slight smile.

(Host, she is. Keeping her will make you stronger and help in the future. Besides, you can get important information about the angels from her.)

"Hmm, I see... Then she will live, at least until she is worthless," Void grinned.

"Don't die, and don't break," Void said. Before Nix could process what was happening, Void cut her right hand. Her divine sword fell .

"You…" Nix felt a burning, searing pain traveling through her body.

"Argh!" Red blood mixed with divine aura spurted out as agony twisted her expression.

"I'm getting better at using a sword," Void said with a smile, admiring the smooth cut. Find adventures at empire

"Argh… you chaotic… ding—" Just as Nix tried to speak, Void put his sword blade in her mouth.

Traces of blood flowed down as her mouth was cut.

"Do you know what fear is?" Void's crimson red eyes locked onto her golden ones. Fear crept in as her pupils dilated.

Nix shook her head as Void laughed.

"Argh!" Void's fire law coursed through her body, devouring her. Her light law couldn't counteract it, being consumed along with her defenses.

"S-Stop," Nix struggled to say.

"Ah, I haven't even started," Void said with a grin.

************

Days passed, turning into a month. At the fourth layer of space, two beings could be seen. One was a demon standing tall with six inverted black wings; the other, an angel with six white wings, knelt before him.

"Ready?" Void asked. The endurance of a Rank 3 being was remarkable when paired with its regeneration ability. Void relished every moment.

"Yes, master," the kneeling angel replied as Void grinned.

"I should actually have something like the law of torture don't you think system ?," Void joked with a smile.

(Ding… Host has gained the Law of Torture.)

"Wait, are you serious, system?" Void asked in shock, unable to believe it.

(Yes, Host.)

"Hmm, alright. Well, this might be dangerous since we are at the same rank and level, so be prepared," Void said as his blood flowed out.

"Fallen Angel," Void thought.

"I… will be a slave of a demon…" This was Nix's last thought before she lost consciousness.

"Oh… she's sleeping peacefully while the transformation is ongoing," Void thought with a smile.

***********

"Alright, system, show my stats," Void said with a smirk.

(Ding)

{Host: Void | Race: Primordial Demon | Rank: 3}

{Strength: Quasi-Low Level | Speed: Quasi-Low Level | Stamina: Early Level}

{Laws: Fire (Low Level), Torture (Low Level) | Blessing: Son of the Abyss | Souls: 500/1 trillion (only peak Rank 2 souls)}

"Nice… show hers," Void said.

(Ding)

{Host: Nix | Race: Angel (Fallen Angel… currently undergoing transformation) | Rank: 3}

{Strength: Early | Speed: Early | Stamina: Early | Law: Light (Early)}

"This is nice… heheh," Void chuckled.

For Void, thousands of years could pass in what felt like seconds.

*******

Eventually, her transformation was completed . Dark wings, a beautiful face, and a stronger law. Her light law had evolved to a low level. Void turned his gaze toward the remaining Rank 3 beings fighting, filtering out his next targets. This was the perfect time to gather enough souls for his breakthrough.

Boom!

"What?" A Rank 3 demon frowned as its enemy disappeared. A massive soul was now clutched in the hands of a somewhat familiar demon.

"Void?" the early Rank 3 demon questioned.

"That's the name," Void replied, vanishing. Shortly after, the Rank 3 demon saw a blur as Nix followed closely behind him.

"Hmm, I've become stronger," Nix thought, silently following Void.

"Listen, you'll tell me everything about the angels later… understood?" Void said as he killed another angel.

Seeing a member of her race slaughtered yet feeling no remorse, Nix realized she had become something entirely different.

"Yes, master," Nix replied as Void moved on to his next target.

**********

During this period, Void killed ten early Rank 3 angels.

How to kill a Rank 3 being? As fifth-dimensional entities, they must have their body, soul, source, and—most challenging of all—their consciousness destroyed. Their consciousness is linked to the consciousness world. Only by destroying this connection can they truly die, unable to reincarnate.

Void wasn't strong enough to achieve this yet. He could only destroy their source, leaving them to be reborn as weaker beings in the future.

"System, I've destroyed their sources. Are they dead?" Void asked, confused.

(No, Host. They will be reborn in this multiverse or another.)

"So how can I truly kill a Rank 3 being?" Void asked, perplexed.

(You must reach Rank 5 to wield rules.)

"Hmm, I see… a higher power?" Void mused with a grin.

(Yes, rules are a higher power.)

"So even Rank 4 can't fully kill Rank 3 beings?" Void asked with amusement.

(No, Host, but sealing them for eternity is possible.)

"Ha… I see. A method of regulation. Being sealed for eternity doesn't sound pleasant "..., void thought. It was a stark reminder of the gulf of Rank 3 beings and stronger powerhouses.
