Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

A few minutes ago, in the underworld.

A man wearing a gray robe was walking in an underground tunnel with a fire torch in his hand, illuminating the narrow path forward.

His footsteps were becoming faster and faster with every passing second; seemingly, he was in a hurry.

After basically running for about a minute, the cave ended, and the man reached an underground chamber that was made from pearls and jewels.

The moment the light from the fire torch flashed on the first pearl, it reflected the light and lit up the entire chamber. In the middle of the chamber, strange sigils were carved, which also glowed with the pearls and jewels.

At the end of the chamber, there was a throne placed just half a meter away from the wall it was facing towards.

"Tell me it is good news," a voice echoed in the chamber.

"Yes, it is my God. We just got a message from the driver that they abducted twenty kids," the man replied calmly.

"Only twenty-three?!" the God shouted. "How is that good news?! I don't want any less than five thousand sacrifices by today before the full moon!"

"My God, your followers have gathered across the world and are ready for the full moon to sacrifice the blood of five thousand innocents. But…"

"But? There is always a but, huh?!"

"We still need 69 more sacrifices, my God."

"Then order my pawns to find more!"

"I have, my God. I have."

"Listen carefully, you useless lump of meat. Today is the night of millennia. If I fail today, I will have to wait for the next millennia!"

"What do you plan to achieve from the sacrifices, my God? You are already the most powerful being in existence. Why do you need anything anymore? If you wish to, you can rule over the entire universe, and no one would be able to challenge— let alone stand before you."

"That is why… I need sacrifices. So far, there have been five hundred thousand sacrifices. And I only need five thousand more to complete my grand plan."

"Meaning, my God?"

"Why should I tell you, who is nothing but a worthless burden to this world."

A few minutes later, the man gulped down in fear and uttered, "Another report just arrived, my God."

"Tell me it is good news."

"It is… not, my God. Smodong— the driver, was getting rid of the dead bodies of the men who turned against the team. But when he returned and inspected the area, he found that all the kids had escaped."

Fear was evident in the man's voice. After all, his life was on the line. If God didn't like the news, his head would be rolling on the floor.

"Escaped? How can a bunch of kids escape from armed men? Is this supposed to be a joke, Knodong?" God asked angrily as the in the chamber shivered.

"The men were found missing their body parts. Smodong said that it seemed to be the work of a trained sword user or a monster."

"Monster?" God scoffed out loud. "There are no monsters in the human world, Knodong. They are all humans."

"But… a town named 'Hel' in this world is the rendezvous point of the portals and gates to the other world. Would beings of other races not come to this world?"

"They would, but it's not as simple. There needs to be a time and place to open the gates and portals. I have been here for over a year, and the only portal opening I sensed was of the vampire world a few months ago."

"Then the warehouse incident could have been caused by a vampire," Knodong immediately stated.

"...it is possible. But the vampires are no threat to me. Not only are they one of the weakest races— just slightly more powerful than the humans, but they can be easily killed.

I am the God of the second reality, and vampires were an extinct race there. In this third reality, I will make sure they go extinct.

A race's strength is not decided by how powerful they are; it's determined by how few weaknesses they have. And the vampires have too many weaknesses to be even considered different from humans.

You could say vampires are even weaker than humans. They can't even stand under the sun. Even a simple silver dagger can kill them. They are indeed quite strong at night, but their weakness doesn't change.

I can simply create a sun, and they will turn into ashes. I can rain silver and impale their bodies. It's a shame that I cannot use their remains as decoration since they turn into ashes after death. Once the sacrifices have been completed, I will go to the vampire world and annihilate their entire world.

Also, where is the Lord this reality was supposed to have? Is the Lord not supposed to protect this world? I wonder if they will come out once I ultimately annihilate a race from existence.

I can't wait to meet the so-called Lord. No… instead, I should say… I can't wait to kill the Lord and steal the power they contain. I doubt it will be useful to me, who has already mastered all the Dao there is in existence.

The strongest being in the human world was Helm Lubel Ark, and I have already defeated her. I destroyed her very core, and she is as good as dead."

"But… my God…" Knodong's lips trembled as he spoke, "She and her army are artificial humans. They are not born; they are created. And the things that are not born can't be killed. Even if you have destroyed her core, she can transfer her data to another body and revive herself."

"I know! What do you think I am? Why do You think I am sitting in this chamber for a year? I have been compressing the data of Lubel Ark! I have cast my domain in the underworld. If I leave my domain for over a minute, Lubel Ark will manage to revive herself.

And I cannot let that happen! However, that is only for a few hours now! Once the sacrifices have been made, I no longer have to sit here!

I… am Asura. I am immortal. I am the Daoist! I am the epitome of the power itself! I am the King Blue Moon! I am the God of second reality! I… am eternity! And I will destroy this entire universe and recreate it according to my will… to become the God of the third reality too!"
