Chapter 290: <ERASE> PART 8

’To think a month would pass in a blink on Erok after my arrival.’

Viktor sat on the edge of a cliff beside an ocean, enjoying the cold wind as he looked at the fat cat ’Radium circling him around.

*MASTER, Lord Ifrit has finally taken the seat after reaching the 5th divine stage. The system has finally synchronised with his territory. *

"Oh? That was rather.. quick."

"It was obvious that Ifrit was in charge of taking care of that realm where the secret guardian realm is situated. He was supposed to take the seat 4000 years after he arrived in Helsia, but I think he got bored and wanted to take his revenge soon. That universe won’t shrink anymore; it has finally found its saviour. I bet those stupid guardians will be shocked to hear their new god is an evil one. Hehehe..’

Viktor chuckled and looked at the galaxy through his system.

Radium asked, *MASTER, is something that matters.*

"No, everything is fine, going the way I wanted to. Earth is saved, as well as the other words too. Now, we just have to think about our quest in hell, and erase the tower from heaven."

*Shall we begin the <ERASE> process? This might take a year or two.*

"Year or two, hum.. Okay. Start the process."

*Project <ERASE> has been confirmed. Tower will be erased in 390:23:59:59 days. Please wait. *

Viktor looked at the red screen with a year countdown. He now had only a little more than a year to walk around Erok before all the system reboots and the tower is erased. But he had a different motive in his mind.

’Heavenly Tower is the masterpiece created by Raphael when she was a nameless god. It took her almost a million years to create it. It’s a very complex system that connects heaven and the mortal world through the system. In some worlds, dungeons are the main centre of their life. If I happen to take away the system, this will interrupt many lives, and also cause great destruction.

I can’t simply erase it from existence. So, I have made a plan to bring it inside my dimension. Also, it’ll be a great object for me to learn more about it.’

Viktor nodded slightly before standing up.

"Yes.. I have made up my mind."

Viktor suddenly teleported into the realm of demons where Azazel was staying, acting as their demon lord from the saint’s prediction. He looked around and found himself in a much more advanced world than the human realm of Erok. He whistled and raised his eyebrow.

*Fuww... * ’It’s a cyber city.

He then sent a telepathic message to Azazel.

*Child, where are you...*

*My lord?*

*Yes. I just came to your city. It’s really cool here. Flying skyspeers huh? They have antiG. rocks.*

*My lord. I shall come to you right now.*

Viktor stood near the waterfall connecting to a huge figure of water right below the floating city and began to appreciate how beautifully it was made. The night sky was bringing its real beauty when it emitted its rays of neon lights.

After a few minutes, Azazel came and bowed to him.

"All hail to the god of records."

"So, you knew I’ve become a god huh?"

"I’m connected with nature, my lord. Your presence is something I can’t ignore."

Viktor smiled and patted his head before telling him to stand up.

"So.. how’s life going? And about the mission I gave you?"

Azazel nodded. "My lord. I have successfully found out what they are all hiding and I have gained access to it as well. It’s indeed a dangerous object that humans can misuse without any doubt."

Viktor raised an eyebrow. "Hum? An object that humans will misuse? I am curious.."

Viktor looked into his record and was surprised; he didn’t expect that item to be exciting in any mortal realm. It was a small heavenly stone that had its own ego. It grants an infinite lifespan, infinite energy and more. It holds the power to rule a planet for eternity and also holds the power to run a whole planet forever.

"My lord..is something that matters?"

"Oh..no, I was a little taken aback by seeing what the hidden object was."

"So you’ve figured it out, my lord.. as expected of the god of records."

"Hahaha.." Viktor again patted his head. "Azazel. Since I’m here, I shall sit back and enjoy the drama before leaving."

"Understood, master. Please come this way. I shall prepare your room for your comfort."

"Hai..hai..lead the way."

Viktor put his hands into the pocket and began to mumble under his breath. ’That thing is really dangerous to stay in the mortal world. It holds a potential threat to alter the natural flow of mortal life. As a god, it’s my responsibility to remove it. But this is my territory now. Right after I became the new owner of the heavenly system, all the territory under The god of dungeon became mine.

In that case, I am allowed to do anything in my territory as long as I’m not directly connected to it.

Some universes are somehow connected to the god of sloths but I’ll leave it alone and will do something about it later when he wakes up.

Right now, my goal is to reach Helsia, wait for the system to transfer the heavenly tower in my newly made dimension and head to hell to collect my final ingredient to make the Divine Qi potion.

After that, I’ll probably have to face Elesis, my dear elder brother who’s under Name’s protection. Or should I say, under his surveillance?

...

Akira’s POV:::

After searching for Scarlet by following so many leads, he and Liz finally arrived at the place where the war between Elves and Humans took place. There was a small hut of straw near the crystal clear lake filled with white Lily.

There, a woman with long white hair was sitting in a small garden of roses, enjoying her tea in solitude.

Akira approached the woman and spoke.

"Finally..I found you."

Scarlet looked at him and put down her teacup. With her charming look, she looked back and smiled. "Long time no see, big brother.."

"Scarlet..."

"Why are you here...do you want something from me? Perhaps..you want me to fight again?"

"N...no.. we came here to find someone."

"Who..."

"It’s..it’s our professor...he died 10 years ago..but.. a few weeks ago, we saw him coming out of a portal. But.."

Scarlet stood up.

"Big brother...you’re as naive as ever.."

Akira got angry upon hearing her. "Naive? What do you mean by that?"

She chuckled and began to walk towards the lake.

"We..are Naive ... .Let’s discuss this whole matter in a few minutes. For example, why did this war take place? Why did the king summon the heroes if there were no demons? What is the king aiming for?

And about the system, why doesn’t it reply to your command?

And about the man Viktor E. North..who is he.. why is he connected to this whole matter but not directly? Don’t you feel we are all being played by someone?"

Akira was silent, Liz too.

Scarlet added, "About your professor, I think it’s best not to annoy him any further... my senses are telling me another war is very soon."

Akira got angry. "War? Another War? And the way you’re speaking about our professor feels like he didn’t die."

"Correct... Viktor E. North didn’t die. He is alive. And he’s back to Erok."

Akira stepped back in disbelief. "A..alive? He died right before me, right before all of us. How could that be possible.."

"Dear brother...there are things in this world that can’t be explained in a few words... Viktor E. North is the same. And my respect for him shall never change."

After that, Akira finally realised Scarlet wasn’t his friend. She was indeed someone set up by Viktor E. North. He played a part in this war that he couldn’t believe, and now, Viktor E. North, as well as Scarlet, was in the team of Damons. And the demon realm truly existed.

His respect for his professor, his trust, everything disappeared in a matter of seconds.

He realised he was played by the hands of his own enemy, forgetting the fact that everything was set by the system.

After an argument, Scarlet left the human realm and entered the demon realm with the help of Azazel, the acting demon lord who was currently ruling the demon realm and met Viktor, slacking off in Azazel’s room.

....

Viktor’s POV:

"Ah..Scarlet is here.." munching on a grape, Viktor looked at her.

Azazel looked at her, as well as Raphael who recently came to the demon’s realm after walking around for a month and got bored.

Raphael stood up and went to her. "Hi!! I’m Raphael V. North, it’s nice to meet you, mortal.."

Scarlet felt odd, hearing the word mortal from an unknown small small-looking girl. Hearing her name, she asked,

"A..are you.. My lord’s sister?"

"No...Viktor is my father.."

She was shocked to hear Viktor already had a daughter.

Viktor said, "Raphael...don’t bully Scarlet.."

"I’m not bullying, dad!!"

"Sigh..Scarlet..welcome to the demon’s realm. It’s really wonderful, right?"

"Yes, my lord.. it is indeed, different from the human realm. But I didn’t know my lord was married."

"You’re wrong. I’m single and that greeny is my adopted child. She’s 100 years old..and will turn 101 in 10 months."
