Chapter 291: <ERASE> PART 9

Viktor was resting on the sofa while Raphael was chatting with Scarlet, sharing all of her fun adventures except for the time she had spent inside the dimension. She knew it was not necessary to bring that up. Not to mention, she was not allowed to share any of it.

Despite that, she was enjoying her time with everyone outside of the dimension room.

’She’s really enjoying her time with Scarlet...huh... Meanwhile, Azazel is busy working on his territorial work within his office with the king of the Devildom. He’s such a hardworking fellow.’

Viktor looked at the screen, which was giving him information about the Heavenly Tower. Apparently, the size of the tower was so massive that he had to plan on making a galaxy-sized dimension room. But it was worth it because it was a quick way to enter the lower realms, was the base of a territory in the highest realm of the heavens, could be used as a weapon and it was the final creation of Raphael before he died as a nameless god. It had so much hidden potential.

Viktor sighs and tells Radium to prepare a DNA string from the world tree fruit he got from Lucifer.

^MASTER, I have some information to share.^

Viktor raised his eyebrows.

’What is it?’

^About the Imp. It is showing some signs of hunger.^

’Of course it is. It’s been asleep for a long time, so it’s normal for the imp to feel hungry and discomfort. But it doesn’t mean I need to feed it. The hunger will encourage it to evolve sooner as it is instructed. Leave it be.’

^Yes, MASTER.^

The screen went out and Viktor decided to take a walk outside his room after a week. It was nighttime and the perfect time for him to walk around the castle since everyone was already asleep.

He looked at his record and saw the drastic change in the future after he took the heavenly mana stone from the secret safe. Mankind was after it so he changed it to a trap and used the gem to make some potion out of it.

Viktor frowned a little...

’It’s really interesting to see that the heroes have already found the way to the devildome. It’s been only a month since I came inside the devildome and the system recognised me as the real boss, leading the story to progress faster than before. Well, it was I who was late to show up.

Akira, Liz and his wife are going to be really surprised to see that their professor was the real boss all along. Azazel was just a scapegoat of my whole plan.’

Meanwhile, in the King’s palace, back in human land.

Akira was standing in front of the king wearing a golden knight’s enchanted armour with a holy sword blessed by the previous saint. Liz was also there, holding onto his weapon in a stance in front of the king.

The king had summoned them after the discovery of the demon realm’s only path. The royal knight’s troop was ready to leave for the demon realm after 10 years of the hero’s summoning.

Since Akira was the leader of the hero team, he was given the charm protection from the queen. They had a close relationship since he was summoned. The queen often supported him even after he ran away from the kingdom to avoid getting married into the royal family.

Akira sighed.

’The system is finally activated after we decided to go to the demon realm...hah... I wonder what that traitor is doing in the demon realm. Viktor, Scarlet..to think they were working together. I was too naive to believe in their play. But not anymore..I have trained myself to the fullest in various dungeons. I even raided the poison dungeon to raise my poison resistance. I’m level 120 now. The strongest man living on this planet. Just like Viktor was able to ’one hit and kill’ a monster, I’m able to do that too with my current ability. Just wait and watch, Viktor, I shall give you the taste of betrayal very soon.’

The king declared war against the demons and the hero troop finally began their journey to the demon realm. Meanwhile, in the demon realm, Azazel had already replaced the entrance to the demon realm with a far land in the middle of the ocean to protect the city from any harm. It was a thick jungle with various types of monsters, a swamp which was deeper than any lake.

’Of course, there are some traces of civilisation, too, but they are from the ancient era. Demons used to live there 700 years ago, but now they are occupied by monsters.

"Azazel has an absurd request but I couldn’t refuse it. It was his idea to move the entrances to that area. If the system wasn’t in my control, I couldn’t do it. I guess he was really lucky."

Viktor chuckled and munched on an apple. He was checking on the movements of the Hero as well as the troop of Azazel.

For being an earth elemental user, he was able to build massive structures near the entrance of the demon realm to prepare for war. It looked like a massive chessboard. Meanwhile, Scarlet was praying to the goddess she followed; she prayed for peace for both races and ended the war forever. She was tired of bloody war and was sick of killing people in the name of peace.

Viktor chuckled. ’At least pray to the right one, kiddo. The one you’re praying to doesn’t even exist.’

Viktor then left where Scarlet was praying and began to walk towards the premises of the temple he came to visit to spend some time. He was bored and had nothing to do before the war. Then, an idea sparked his mind.

’Why bother waiting for a whole year? Can’t I just put Radium into a time capsule?’

Viktor then called Uranium to verify if the idea was good or not. Turns out, it was possible and the success rate was much larger than before.

Without wasting a second, he hopped into his dimension room and called Radium to start the time capsule.

"Radium, if you find any error, you have the full right to postpone the ERASE programme."

^ Thank you for the authorisation, MASTER.^

Back in Helsia around the same time.

Kobayashi was amazed to see the growth of Mors and others. Even though they were far from reaching Adonis, in terms of other Gods’ natural growth, they were doing pretty well. It has been only a few years since they came to Helsia but they were on the 3rd stage core. Adonis was rare among the geniuses. His growth was so terrifying that some Gods naturally began to avoid getting into any trouble with him. Not to mention, Vallahal, the god of Necromancer, was favouring him. And Lucifer’s sudden absences also felt strange to Kobayashi. But it was kept secret from everyone.

Kobayashi asked, "Adonis... when’s your Master coming back?"

Adonis put down his fountain pen and replied, "Yir told me he will be coming soon. Maybe a month or two?"

Kobayashi felt a little shy before asking again, "So..what about the quest I gave him?"

Adonis looked at him with a grin.

"You’ll see about that pretty soon."

At that moment, the ground started to shake. It felt like the whole heaven was about to crumble into dust. Not to mention, they all felt a massive amount of mana flowing from one direction to another.

To verify what was going on, everyone went outside to see what was going on and saw the heavenly tower, which was standing like a pillar through the heavenly realm, was disappearing. Some were confused, and some were scared of the sudden change in the heavenly realm.

But Kobayashi felt something priceless. Even though he trusted Viktor that he could do it, he doubted his promise because it was something that not even a king god could remove.

He fell to his knees and started to cry after a long time. Of course, it was a tear of joy.

Adonis stood behind Kobayashi and smiled.

’I knew you could do it, master.’

Adonis called Yir in a silent tone. "Yir...come."

A golden figure appeared behind him while kneeling. "Yes, my lord."

He took out a small box and gave it to him. "Deliver this box to Viktor without meeting him."

"Yes."

Adonis looked at Yir’s shadow disappearing by the time he teleported. For some reason, he stopped complaining about his fondness for Viktor and worked silently. Adonis was curious about his weird change of behaviour.

...

Meanwhile, Viktor was mesmerised by the sparkle oozing out of the cube he was holding onto. It was the heavenly tower in his hands, a whole territory where countless worlds drifted.

Riches, power, fame, it was all in that small cube. The tower system.

"I did it...the system is mine now... success, after a long wait. I wonder what Kobayashi is thinking right now. I bet he must be crying in the mud to get his territory back.
