Profane Prince of Domination Chapter 573 Birth of the Almighty Sovereign

From the moment Konrad appeared, the Evil and Neutral Bodies knew they weren't his match. They put on that desperate struggle, all so that they could cheat the main body into thinking they tried their hardest. Meanwhile, they planned their rebellion. With the Evil Body outwardly powerless, when the time came for Regretless to surrender to Celestial Slaughter, the Neutral Body would keep his attention, thereby making him forget about the fallen Evil one.
At the critical instant, the two would strike, overwhelm Regretless, destroy his soul, and seize the body! Afterward, becoming a True Almighty was only natural. They could then dispose of all their enemies. Never did they expect that Celestial Slaughter would provide them with such a golden opportunity, and without hesitation, they jumped on it!
Alas, it was all a ploy! From the very moment he pushed Regretless into using the Three Corpses Refining Incantation, Celestial Slaughter planned this end. Based on his understanding of Regretless and their past clashes, he knew very well that the Evil and Neutral Bodies would never surrender to destruction.
The Neutral Body out of pure survival instinct, and the Evil Body due to its hatred-bred, relentless thirst for absolute power! As long as he gave them the opportunity, they would strike back, overwhelm Regretless and form a new Almighty. In that instant, Shadow would assault them, thereby forcing them to commit suicide to bring the world down with them!
And they did!
Shadow was right. Celestial Slaughter had been toying with his foes from the start. Since his return, he already was a step away from becoming Almighty. The only reason why he faked lacking insight was because he knew...that so long as Shadow existed, whoever took that step was doomed to face destruction. He couldn't live in apprehension. Therefore, he first set the stage to have Konrad awake Shadow and have Regretless destroy him!
Now the dark hand was gone, bringing down with it the last of Celestial Slaughter's concerns!
"Haaa, freedom does carry that soothing melody that lifts the mind into new realms of enlightenment. Shadow, don't blame me but if I don't screw over the highest existence, how could I call myself...the Supreme Conqueror?"
Celestial Slaughter sighed in an oh so Talroth tone.
He then glanced toward the spot where Regretless met his end.
"Child, I really did you wrong. But don't worry, your sacrifice now allows the world to witness the eternal splendor of the True Almighty. I'd send you postcards in the afterlife, but you're not even there."
Celestial Slaughter again gave that false downcast sigh, spun, and stretched out his hands, lifting them like a maestro as he crushed his petty shackles. The Chthonian Devil Forces gathered fast enough to witness Sublime Infiniteness Insight blossom within Celestial Slaughter's Supreme Will, transforming it from a High Supreme will into...an Almighty Will!
As the will congealed, Celestial Slaughter's fingers moved like a maestro driving his musicians, rising, curving and descending in mesmerizing arcs. Blinding white light akin to heavenly luminescence erupted from his form, and as the Firmament's collapse ended, Celestial Slaughter took the final step—becoming an Almighty Supreme!
Without the Firmament to suppress it, the blinding light dazzled all worlds, filling them with the splendor of the new monarch. Supreme Conqueror, One True God, Eternal Sovereign, call him however you will, but throughout the multitude of the omniverse, none could ever challenge his omnipotent will!
But even as Celestial Slaughter's rise reached its acme, a just as shocking scene grabbed the onlookers' attention:
*CRACK*
The end of the Firmament released one cracking sound that echoed in the minds of all living things! Alongside that sound, starting with the worlds closest to the Firmament, the omniverse began...crumbling!
Right, the very omniverse was on the verge of following Shadow and the Firmament to the grave, thereby returning all things to nothingness! And while faraway worlds surrendered to warning earthquakes - awaiting their doom - following brief calculations, the experts on the scene all came to the same conclusion:
"30 minutes."
Right, half-an-hour was all it would take for the omniverse to return to Nothingness! Supremes aside, none could survive that apocalypse! But still, Celestial Slaughter spun. As he did, the Omniverse's rules changed, and sound now freely circulated in space!
"As the saying goes, before creation comes ruin. My children, have no fear, once the omniverse is gone, I shall build it all anew - make my Almighty Will support it all - and forever bar the road to Supremacy.
My conquests thus end for I - only I - can say the three words I am Supreme."
Celestial Slaughter's spinning ended, his falsely delighted figure underwent a drastic change, and with deadpan eyes, he nailed Konrad.
"Unfortunately, I still feel no gratifications. But now I can just create an emotionally complete self. The possibilities are endless. As for you, Konrad, do you still wish to challenge me? I give you one last chance to bend the knee and acknowledge your defeat.
Surrender and I shall forgive all your transgressions."
Celestial Slaughter offered with a tone laced in generosity. Again, curiosity drove him. He wondered if the sight of Konrad kneeling in voluntary surrender could trigger something in his cold heart. He ought to experiment with it. Alas, Konrad again disappointed him. His eyes shifted toward the Heavenly Demon Tablet, he beckoned, and the tablet rose to hover beside him.
As if readying for battle, Konrad stretched out his hand, summoning the God Executing Immortal Sword.
Seeing this, Celestial Slaughter sighed.
"Konrad, please give your old man more credit, will you?"
The words had barely left his lips that Celestial Slaughter plunged his right hand into his chest. But instead of flesh and blood, it passed through a strange dimension to pull out the Nirvana Dust Crown.
"You want to use 90 locks of negation powers and your Monarch Will to rob this from me, combine the Supreme Artifacts into one, and produce a True Almighty weapon. However…"
*CRACK*
Celestial Slaughter's palms closed around the Nirvana Dust Crown, squashing it into nothingness.
"...I am not that silly."
While his 100,000 men strong army regained their free will, Celestial Slaughter sobbed at the lack of esteem given to his peerless brain. On the scene many indeed believed that this was Konrad's final card. And seeing the Nirvana Dust Crown collapse, their hearts skipped many beats.
As if he too felt cheated, Konrad's eyes widened in a show of disbelief. Disbelief then made way for a smirk while the Heavenly Demon Tablet merged with the God Executing Immortal sword, thereby making it a High Supreme Artifact.
"You're right, I give you a C+."
Konrad replied and stepped forward. The screeches of the God Executing Immortal sword tore through the collapsing space as the acme of Konrad's devil forces, bloodline strength, physique abilities, and Insights erupted in one go.
"Old man, let's settle this once and for all."
Konrad declared as his form and obsidian blade bent in a final battle-stance. In that fight, only he mattered. Anyone else was superfluous.
But hearing those words, Celestial Slaughter shook his head.
"You live in denial. I don't mind awakening you. But if I do, I must slaughter the entirety of your faction to the last baby. That's just my style."
The new Almighty didn't bother with fighting stances, he merely released the might of his Omnipotence, letting the dazzling light tell the world tales of his invincibility. His eyes looked beyond Konrad, locking on a figure by his side.
"Sons indeed can't be trusted. A monarch's true delight lies in siring a princess. Fortunately, I made preparations long ago. Little girl, why don't you return by father's side?"
Celestial Slaughter asked as his slit, golden eyes stared at Yvonne.
