My Living Shadow System Devours To Make Me Stronger

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Unknown’s Promise

He took a step back, then another, before jumping off the dragon’s back towards the direction of the ground, or rather, the Underworld. He opened his hand, and black flames filled his palms.

From below, a large entity that looked like a dying tree raised its hand to grab him. Clearly, this being was a lesser god, but with Aetherus dead, they were even weaker.

Its whole body burst into flames, and Damon smashed through it, turning into a shadow and then teleporting a short distance before the space shattered due to the unstable nature of the world.

Ashergon unleashed a torrent of dragon fire indiscriminately, even towards Damon, while Leona unleashed lightning. As soon as Damon entered, he felt the rune on his forehead light up as the red energy began to invade him.

He gritted his teeth and whispered,

"Gravity Dominate."

He made his body heavier and fell through them as fast as he could, accumulating wounds from every attack. He broke free and fell into the Underworld at the speed of a beam of light, while chaotic flames and lightning followed him. Ashergon and Leona followed him in.

Damon was lucky, so he didn’t encounter a chaotic time stream, but even so, when he looked around, most of the people he had brought with him were dead. It was evident that they had been fighting something for a long time.

Even Matia was now covered in injuries, and so was Ashcroft. The area around them was destroyed, and from the sky, Damon could see what they were fighting on. It was against a club the colour of blood-covered earth.

"A giant club?"

Their battle had revealed the Pillar of Conflict.

"The Pillar of Conflict," he whispered.

As soon as he said that, as soon as he saw it, he heard a system chime.

[Quest]

[Path to Conflict]

[Completed]

[Quest II]

One of the Pillars of the Omniverse is in your sight. Long have many dreamed of this, and long have you awaited this great power beyond any mortal’s reach. Obtain the Pillar of Conflict and grasp all conflict in the Omniverse.

Reward: ????

Damon had finally completed this quest after so many years. Then he looked at Matia and whispered softly, knowing she would hear him.

"Ruin Fairy, I order you to crush the displacement stone."

When he said that, Matia’s eyes flashed. When his voice entered her mind, she gazed at Ashcroft, full of anger and a desire to kill him.

However, her hand moved on its own. Her anger meant nothing against the will of her lord. Not even the Pillar could stop that. After all, it was the Unknown God who had made her a shadow of Damon Grey.

Even so, she tried to resist, but it meant nothing, and her hands crushed the displacement stone.

As soon as she did, Damon replaced her. Just as Ashcroft stabbed towards him, he blocked the attack with his elbow and kicked him back.

Ashcroft slid back a few meters. However, Damon raised a wall of shadows just as his rune was beginning to reach its limit. He could feel rage and hatred gathering in his heart, but he ripped whatever was left of the landmass and then took out the Book of Shadows.

As soon as he did, Xander rushed out and slammed his hand on the ground. He roared as gravity spread out, lifting the massive remains of the landmass into the air. A vibrant red light spread across it, visible only to Damon and those who could see it.

Evangeline’s body lit up with a golden glow that illuminated the world in light.

Lilith, who was on the outskirts, looked at the golden light. Her rune was already at its limits, and her hands and chest were covered in blood. She was cradling a broken and bleeding Renata as she looked up with tears and hope in her eyes.

"Please work."

Damon placed the book on the giant Pillar while also creating a shadow in its shape.

He was unsure what would work, so he tried everything.

As soon as the book touched the Pillar of Conflict, Damon felt as if infinite power was flowing into its infinite pages. However, it was not because Damon had the power to take the Pillar.

The Pillar was simply acting of its own accord, entering the Book of Shadows.

All the red energy flowed into the pages in a single instant. It was as if time had stopped.

Then Damon heard a chime.

[You have obtained the Pillar of Conflict]

It was easier than he thought. He looked around him. Everything consumed by the red energy was now normal, even him.

He looked at the book in his hand and at the gazes of everyone still alive, even Ashcroft, who wasn’t far from him.

Damon was about to speak when the book began to shake, and the next moment, it began to leak red energy, slowly seeping into his hands.

Out where Doom was battling the Unknown, the Unknown God glanced at the Goddess, who was in pristine condition while he was ripped into pieces. The pieces began to gather, then he glanced at her and said,

"Like I said earlier, I have won."

Doom’s expression tightened, then she sneered.

"Why should I respect rules that have no power over me?"

The Unknown, who was still in Ranar’s body, was quiet.

"It would be troublesome if you did, but I would have no reason to respect any rules as well."

"We would rather not have that now, would we... Doom?"

The Goddess became quiet.

The Unknown god had won, as she had expected.

This was the outcome she had been hoping for.

"Now that you have your Pillar, you will promise to stay out of all my affairs, and I will respect your victory over me today."

The Unknown god did not understand why, but a win was a win. He would never go back on a promise, so to make sure she didn’t do anything that would ruin his plan, he said,

"I promise to stay out of your affairs completely after I gain my Pillar."

Then he paused, looking at her for a moment.

’Was this your true objective Minerva?’
