Galaxy Fall: All My Skills Are Maxed-Chapter 173: Devil Manifestation
[Inside the Void Domain.]
The absolute sensory deprivation of the Void Domain pressed against Mirabella, a space where the World energy was completely choked out. Yet, standing in the pitch-black isolation, Mirabella tilted her head to the side, her expression an unbreakable mask of indifference.
"You don’t need to know that." She raised her hand, her movements smooth and unbothered by the crushing pressure, and pointed one slender finger directly at the Tenth Lord:
"All you need to know is this; I need the infinite god stone, and you will help me get it. If you refuse, I will single-handedly destroy your devil cult headquarters and retrieve it from the ashes. Now... Decide."
"....??"
The Tenth Lord was entirely speechless. His advanced cognitive processors stalled, unable to compute the sheer audacity before him. He was a Lv500 Android, a marvel of biomechanical engineering who possessed the terrifying power to use All-Bloodlines, and had lived for centuries in the shadows of Galaxy Fall. Now, a kid who wasn’t even 30 years old—a mere blink in his lifespan—was casually threatening to wipe his ancient faction off the map.
"You are so arrogant, human!! Today!! I will show you my powers!! Today, you will die!" He snapped one mechanical finger, the sound echoing unnaturally in the void. Instantly, the dark energy condensed, and ten humanoid, deformed demons—grotesque chimeras standing ten feet tall, their bodies heavily armored with dark metal—appeared behind him, all holding huge, jagged weapons that radiated death.
"You’re in my domain!!! Everything here is under my control!" He yelled, his voice modulating into a demonic roar.
Mirabella lightly shook her head, pitying his reliance on a mere spatial lock.
"Good, this is a very good time I can test the skill I gained when I passed Lv300."
Mirabella raised her hand with deliberate grace, and placed two fingers lightly on her forehead, tapping directly into her expanded spirit core.
"First stage... Spectral Gaze."
BOOOOM!!!!
The whole indestructible domain trembled violently, its spatial fabric tearing. A huge, ethereal gate, standing 10 meters tall and forged from ancient, groaning bone, materialized from nothingness behind her. The heavy, double doors slowly creaked open, revealing a massive, terrifyingly realistic red bleeding eyeball that stared out into the darkness.
"What is this?!" Lord tenth was stunned, his optical sensors glitching as they tried to analyze the divine-tier construct.
"Judgment."
With Mirabella’s cold, absolute word, a devastating red sonic wave shot out from the bleeding eyeball, spreading out all over the place in a blinding flash. It bypassed physical armor entirely. It violently smashed into Lord Tenth, short-circuiting his synthetic soul and pushing his heavy frame some steps back, while it instantly shattered all the towering demons behind him into fine, grey particles without them even landing a strike.
CRACK!!!
The absolute Void Domain cracked under the sheer, concentrated spiritual pressure, and violently shattered into millions of glass-like pieces, returning them to the dusty air of the Anaconda Path and entirely stunning the already shocked Android.
"What... What sort of skill is that?!" He stammered, his internal systems failing to regulate his spiking core temperature.
{Spectral Gaze: Summon the gate of souls, which revealed the eye of the slumber souls.}
{First stage: Send a wave of soul attack in all directions which bypasses all defenses, and attack the soul directly, dealing 100% of user magical attack.}
{Second stage: Send a wave of soul attack in all directions which bypasses all defenses and instantly shattered the soul, and give a permanent debuff on any survivors it gazed at. Debuff; Lose 1,000 health points per second.}
{Third stage: Send a wave of soul attack in all directions which bypasses all defenses and instantly shattered the soul, and give a permanent debuff on any survivors it gazed at. Debuff; Lose 1,000 health points per second. It also absorbs the souls of the victims and use it to power up the User, granting them immunity to soul attack.}
{God grade skill.}
{200,000 spirit energy per use.}
’This is a skill personally given to me by the system... Even before all my AoE attacks, this one is the best. This Lord tenth survived the first stage mainly because he’s an android, but he can never survive the other stages.’ Mirabella stared at the trembling Tenth Lord, analyzing his HP, as the horrifying gate behind her vanished into a wisp of dark smoke.
’Not only that, I can use the whole three stages, thanks to the imperial Bloodline.’
Ordinary users would be drained entirely by the 200,000 spirit energy cost, their bodies breaking under a God-grade strain, but her Imperial Bloodline and Adira granted her an abyssal spirit energy capacity and bodily regeneration that scoffed at such limits.
Yakima and the exhausted surviving group watched in stunned, breathless silence, lowering their weapons as Mirabella and the terrifying enemy abruptly reappeared before them.
"You?!! Who really are you?!!" Lord tenth asked in sheer horror. He was one of the ten legendary leaders of the Cult, and he had rarely ever felt any emotion due to his programming as an android, but now, his synthetic mind was flooded with a very human, bone-chilling fear.
"What do you say about my offer?" Mirabella asked, ignoring his existential crisis entirely.
"What fucking offer?!! You’ll never get your hand on the infinite god stone!! That’s a promise!!" He yelled as thick, oppressive killing intent spread out from him, rising rapidly into the turbulent air and suffocating the nearby Guild members.
"I will rather die than give our precious treasure to you!!!"
Mirabella sighed. ’I need that stone, it’s very important for my future plans, if I don’t have it, it’ll greatly slow down my progress.’
To her, the Cult’s most sacred relic was merely a missing material on her roadmap to absolute supremacy.
She moved her gaze around the blood-soaked monster zone, completely dismissing the Lv500 boss. ’It seems I will just have to use this zone for now.’
Seeing Mirabella was completely ignoring him—treating a centuries-old terror like a minor roadblock—Lord tenth’s expression warped into complete, irrational rage. Boiling red smoke hissed violently out from the exhaust ports of his metallic arms.
"Hahahaha!!! Today! I will kill you!!"
BOOOOM!!!
His massive killing intent joined together with the atmospheric spirit energy, and the clouds parted violently as a gigantic, demonic palm appeared high in the sky. Its five decaying claws and sheer apocalyptic size instantly blocked out the sunlight, casting the entire gorge into a terrifying shadow.
"This is the true skill of the devil claw!! This is the second stage!! Devil Palm!! It’s also a god grade skill just like yours!! Do you think you can survive it?!!" He yelled with a wide, desperate, sinister smirk, betting everything on this final strike.
"The devil claw is a god rank skill passed down in the devil cult, only the best of the best are given this skill... It’s even better than the fog Lord skill." Mirabella said, staring up at the descending apocalypse with utter, chilling calmness. She was merely reciting a textbook definition.
’Why is she so calm?!?’
Lord Tenth, and the entirely horrified group pinned to the ground by the pressure, thought simultaneously, staring at Mirabella’s unmoving silhouette against the darkness.
"That’s why you gave it to your second in command... But you forgot one thing." Mirabella’s voice easily cut through the roaring winds of the descending palm.
"What is that??!!"
"This isn’t the highest stage!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Of course I know that!! But this is sufficient to kill you!!" Lord Tenth screamed at her, his vocal synthesizers tearing.
"Fool, let me show you what true strength is... Devil manifestation." Mirabella stated, tapping into the very skill she had copied and perfectly evolved just moments ago.
"WHAT?!!!!!"
