Chapter 504 Absolute Control of Reality
Crackle!
Sizzle!
The sky was dark, looking like covered in a strange black smudge. The dark lightning raged above the dark clouds. There wasn't a moon or stars hanging above. Instead, it was dark, without any source of light.
The shadows, darkness, and dead wastelands covered the whole realm.
Underlord slowly woke up and saw the dark sky hovering above him. The weather was cold and soulless.
He was lying on the ground, which was hard but also sticky. Surrounding him was the enormous wasteland with a dark ground.
However, Underlord felt surprisingly at ease. It was like he'd finally arrived at his home after a long vacation.
Sizzle…
CRACKLE!
The dark lightning, with rage, struck the ground.
Underlord looked towards the lightning that struck the ground only a kilometer from him.
"…" He stood up from the sticky and hard ground. After standing up, he could see a structure that resembled a temple looming in the distance. It seemed to be the only structure in this dead wasteland.
He briskly stepped forth and continued walking until he finally reached the temple's front steps.
The temple was dark. It was like the shadows got sucked inside the pillars that held the ceiling up.
Underlord walked up the stairs and entered the temple. There were ten shadowy figures praying in front of the altar.
''Lord Erebus…''
''Lord Erebus…''
''Lord Erebus…''
''Lord Erebus…''
Underlord knelt on the ground and clasped his hands. Then, he started muttering the same name as others. It lasted close to ten minutes until the ground shook.
Tremble!
Underlord snapped his head towards the left. He could see a massive creature stomping towards the temple. It was enormous—its head touching the clouds while its hundred legs destroyed the wasteland under its mighty stomps.
"Kraah, kraah!" The shadowy figures ran out of the temple and ran in the opposite direction from the creature. They looked to be frightened.
Underlord also left the temple and followed the shadowy figures. However, his legs felt heavy, like he was trying to move across quicksand.
"Eh?" He dropped his gaze and saw that the sticky ground was slowing him down.
BOOM!
One of the hundred legs struck the ground only ten meters from him. Underlord gulped and slowly turned around. He saw the shadowy creature looking down at him with dark and soulless eyes.
The creature slowly opened its rotten mouth. A spark appeared on its throat that suddenly filled up its entire mouth. It looked like it was about to unleash a beam.
"GRAH!" The shadowy beam left the mouth.
Underlord looked towards the sky and saw how the shadowy beam looked like it covered the entire sky. The whole surrounding area became pitch dark.
Underlord's eyes shook, and he quickly slammed his palms on the sticky ground, "Shadow Ruler!"
The shadows engulfed him, and he disappeared into the ground.
With the help of shadows, he moved several kilometers away from the massive creature.
Behind him, the shadowy beam struck the ground and destroyed everything it touched.
After five kilometers, Underlord jumped out of the shadows and looked towards the shadowy creature that still looked massive with its head touching the clouds.
"That was strange…" He thought while looking at his hands. While doing Shadow Ruler, his power level seemed off the charts. Usually, he could only travel a kilometer before exhausting himself.
Now, he traveled five kilometers and felt fine!
The shadowy creature slowly turned its head to the left. It could see Underlord's small figure in the distance.
'How dare you enter Lord Erebus' territory?'
"Eh?" Underlord could hear a voice inside his mind. The voice was terrifying and unpleasant.
He looked towards the shadowy creature and saw that its mouth was again open!
Another shadowy beam left its mouth that covered the entire sky in pure darkness.
As the shadowy beam traveled across the sky, it corrupted everything, including the skies!
However, this time, Underlord felt relaxed and not fearful. He continued looking at his hands and slowly touched his thumb with his middle finger.
After the two fingers touched, he calmly snapped his fingers.
Snap!
WHOOSH!
The shadowy beam disappeared, replaced by million butterflies!
The dark sky disappeared, and the dark clouds vanished. A bright blue sky appeared alongside white clouds and a yellowish sphere.
"RKRUGHEIUGVHUYTGH!" The shadowy creature cried in agony as its innards got wrapped in strange energy. After a long agony-filled minute, the shadowy creature disappeared.
The dark wasteland changed into a flourishing grassland with beautiful wildflowers sprouting.
Underlord sat down on the soft grass and moved his hand around. He felt like he could hold a planet on top of his palm.
"What is this..?" This kind of power made Underlord feel overwhelmed and slightly drunk. He felt like he could do anything.
'This is the power of Reality!' Another voice appeared inside his mind. Then, a transparent figure appeared from thin air, resembling a wise old man.
"Power of Reality?" Underlord asked hesitantly. He slowly knelt on the ground and lowered his head as a sign of respect.
"It is my power…" Erebus showed his palm, which showed an image of the World of White, "Absolute control of Reality."
"Absolute control of Reality…" Underlord clenched his fist with a fearful gulp. It sounded like omnipotent power.
"Your test has officially concluded. This place corrupts the mind of the weak, and only people with a powerful mind can wield my power."
Underlord looked surprised, and then notifications rang in his mind.
DING! DING!
[Legacy Received!]
[Erebus, The Primordial God of Darkness, wants you to be his Legacy Carrier!]
[Legacy: Primordial God of Darkness]
[Legacy Rank: Divine]
[Class: God of Reality]
[Accept/Reject]
Underlord raised his hand and pressed accept with a shaky finger. The omnipotence was only a finger's touch away, and he felt like his heart was slowly stopping.
After pressing, Underlord's body underwent a strange transformation. He suddenly felt like he was weaker than a moment ago. Now, he couldn't change the weather as he pleased. However, that was as expected.
For several minutes, he reached the unfathomable level of 900, but now his level got reduced back to 500.
His face slowly showed a smile. However, almost immediately, his face turned blank, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Hihi." Erebus walked next to him with a giggle, "A new pawn… Very nice."
