The Faceless One
I inadvertently caused this. I allowed Valerie Tepes space and time to grow strong as I teleported all vampires into the underworld and as the highest ranking dhampir she took control of Romania.
Stole and used all the special blood to grow in strength then used the Graal to remove her weaknesses as a vampire such as aversion to light, resistance to light and holy magics. She even found a way to give herself demonic energy without turning into a devil.
Now she has resurrected God.
What a weird domino effect. I really did not see this coming. But it's a welcome surprise and it shows me that my future sight isn't as perfect as I assume it to be.
All these thoughts were going through my head at light speed in the same time it took me arrive at the Gates of the first heaven only to meet it empty. Normally two high class angels will be there watching over it but they aren't there.
"They must be excited for the return of their father." I mused to myself as I could truly understand. I was nearby when he died. That was how I stole his principality of creation after all.
But it seems he has regained it. I no longer have his divinity over creation as when he resurrected it immediately got reabsorbed back into him. Not that I need it anymore. I just used it as a reference and a slight boost to my own divinity of creation.
I guess I can hang around for a few hours while they celebrate. They need this truthfully. The angels were coming close to being absorbed by devils into their faction because of their dwindling strength but with this… well those curs better watch their steps.
Soleil
Two weeks after the return of Yahweh
[Name: Soleil Strider.]
[Level: 300]
[Level: Ultimate]
[Race: Enlightened High Human, Mage,Cursed Sorcerer, Devil form, Angel form, Cursed Spirit form, Dragon Form, Heroic Spirit.]
[User has reached Ultimate Class]
[Changes in system activating]
Wait…. no no no. What's going on. Is the system leaving or something. Why didn't Faceless tell me. Fuck is Ultimate Class the limit of what we can gain from the system?
[Query: The system is a form of training wheels for humans until they get to Ultimate Class then from there they have to blaze their own path like everyone else in the world. You will still have a status panel to see your stat and progress but you no longer get exp for killing.]
[You are still eligible for the yearly power rankings where the top 100 humans can get a new trait, power boost,weapons or knowledge.]
[As a final gift from the system you get a gift that the Faceless One gives to all as their parting gift.]
[An Asasuchi: a blank zanpakto.]
"What about humans that were already in Ultimate Class and above?" I asked although miffed abit by what happened I still needed that information.
[They receive boosts to their mana reserves, access to both chakra and cursed energy. They also receive their traits and are evolved into a high human.]
So that is why Father Strada was so fucking strong. That trait he received must have been overpowered.
"Do we still receive rewards from Gates?" I asked just to be sure cause if not then we would be hard nerfed to the ground.
[Yes. You still receive dungeon rewards like other humans and can receive World Announcements.]
[Goodluck and stay strong,Soleil. VOTW out.]
[99% of system functions are now disabled. Leaving only a status tracker.]
I could feel the difference immediately. As I crossed into Ultimate Class my power skyrocketed to the max. A flare of energy shot to the sky no doubt alerting others to my position. The system helped everyone keep a tight lead on our power. Like a crutch. Now without it I have to do it myself and learn to control my energy better.
With the devils converging on my position now seems to be the time to put my plan in action. Luckily I was already in the wastes and angel and devil bodies are around. I immediately covered us in a very dense spacial barrier and burrowed deep in the ground.
I then changed my race to my devil form and laid down while hypnotising myself to fall asleep and slightly hungover. This act needs to work for me to get into this society. I then let my demonic energy fully erupt causing cracks in the barrier and making more energy leak making it easier for them to pinpoint my location.
Now we wait.
Alistair Mamon (Heir to Clan Mamon)
Wind whistled in my ears as I flew at great speeds at the direction of the disruption in my lands. Well future lands but who cares.
I was just pounding Selene, my rook into the fucking bed when I felt it. The amount reminded me of my father. An Ultimate Class devil is in my lands and his energy is flaring which is normally an invitation for the rulers to come.
Normally I wouldn't give a shit about who is in my lands but Ultimate class devil is different. They are the true spine of the devils. Sure there are Satan Class devils and Ajuka amd Sirzechs but wars are won and lost by how strong or many your Ultimates are.
Father once told me three ultimate class beings with good plans and strength can defeat or capture a Satan Class or was that what he said. Probably remembering wrong but I do know he said there is a fundamental difference between high and ultimate class something about finding your path to power.
Regardless a top hitter in the devil society is in my lands well the outskirts but still. Hundreds of other devils flew behind me some high class but most are low class guards. Providing back up not that it would matter in the face of the one we are approaching.
I reached the Abyssal Wates a place teeming with miasma and thousands of high class and ultimate class demon beasts as well as one of the sites of the Great War scorched beyond repair. A testament to the true power of Michael the Archangel as even after hundreds of years it shows no sign of repair no matter what we did.
"My lord, there it is." said Anton one of the guards as he pointed me in the direction of the Ultimate. Only to find not a person but a barrier leaking with huge amount of energy. Surprisingly it wasn't a force field but a spacial barrier but it was evidently being strained as there were multiple cracks growing even holes being created and allowing more leaks.
Someone or something was trapped there and is evidently about to be free.
"Damn this is going to be a headache. I just know it."
As if on cue an explosion happened shattering the barrier and the impact spread sending all of us spiralling and falling to the ground.
I could hear moans from my guards as I picked myself back up. I needed to know what caused this. A weapon, an angel or a devil? What was strong enough that it's awakening almost took me out indirectly.
I walked to the edge of the crater and looked down only to see a devil in black leather trousers and a white shirt holding on to a black blade that seemed to suck the light around it sitting cross legged in the middle of the crater. Near him were about twelve angel and fallen corpses. Did a battle happen here without my knowledge. Regardless I should introduce myself.
"My name is Alistair Mamon,heir to Clan Mamon. You are causing a stir in my domain,sir…"
He stirred slowly and looked at me with a coldness I have only felt when The Great King disciplined his heir in front of everyone in his faction after we found out he had a hand in the Nekoshou Massacre.
"My name is Zahad. I am one of the new generation of devils created by Lady Lilith slightly before the start of the War on Heaven. I was kept a secret as I developed a clan trait naturally instead of the one she crafted."
"I was sent by her to help reinforce Lord Leviathan as we received news that he was being pushed back by Uriel and Azazel. On route I was ambushed by six angels and fallen. Something about a seer saw me turning the tides in a battle and they wanted me off the board before that."
"Truthfully I should have died but I developed a spacial technique that traps me and others in a powerful barrier. I don't remember much of what happened during and after but I know there was a skirmish,Lord. Looking at myself now that I have grown to Ultimate Class instead of high class I believe some time should have passed. Maybe a few days or weeks."
"Regardless, more strength is a boon. I am ready to rejoin the War efforts,my lord. Point me in the direction of the battlefield so I can kill some more dove scum."
What the fuck!!!
He still thinks the Great War is going on. Spacial technique. He has a Space Clan trait similar to the Agares with Time. He is old very old if he still remembers Lilith.
"I am sorry but the Great War has been over for over a thousand years now."
His eyes opened very wide and truthfully a bit comically. I almost would laugh of this situation wasn't so serious.
"Huuuuuuuhhhhhhh." he screamed in shock. Yes, that is what I would expect if I just found out I have been asleep for a thousand years.
