Vs All (5)

"First opponent is the two-faced demoness of the Third Floor... Nimue!" In the bluish clouds, with a bag of popcorn in hand, a red-skinned humanoid commented on the scenes playing out millions of miles away.

"Among Golden Immortals, she isn't known to be among the stronger ones but, with her unparalleled beauty, her ability to affect one's mental state is to such a high degree that it is the single reason why she hasn't become someone's toy."

Taking a sip of his drink, he commented with a relaxed expression. His eyes perceived the current situation Saber found himself in as they suddenly gleamed with a mysterious light.

"Oh, these Golden Immortals are truly greedy. But, thanks to this greediness, it's going to be an even more interesting show. Well, not really. He is either going to somehow survive which will truly be interesting or, fall. The latter's obviously more likely..."

The reason for his words was quickly answered as if one were present, they'd see the sight of tens of flying ships with unimaginable sizes. Each of these objects was at the very least a couple of miles or even larger.

And without exception, each of these objects released a mysterious aura very distinct from the other but there was one thing in common which was, the incredibly deep and forceful pressure that surrounded these flying ships.

...

...

'This... It feels like something's trying to forcefully control my body but...' Nimue's tender lips had sealed his own as he played along, even fighting for domination with his tongue while acting as if he hadn't perceived her little trickery.

'The thing is, mind control is not something that can work on someone like me, someone whose whole body is their mind while not their mind at the same time.'

'Each of those small stars in my body is a cell and each of these cells can be identified as my mind... Can this woman control 100 minds, or 1,000 minds, or 1 Million minds? Much less, 60 Trillion...!'

'With my strength rising continuously, the energy contained in those minds equates to a single Profound Immortal of my level.'

'My body may be at the Level 9 Profound Immortal but, my body is 60 Trillion Level 9 Profound Immortals. This is why I'm invincible in the same realm and it's also why to control my mind is akin to controlling 60 Trillion Immortal cultivators...'

'This is the sole reason why Goldy said that True Lifeforms are unaffected by mind control.' Saber smirked internally as his thoughts churned at speeds not possible for common people.

He had Leviathan to thank for this, after all, it was due to devouring him that he was able to gain such an improved thought process and calculation time.

'Anyway, her motives don't make sense... If I were a Golden Immortal, wouldn't I forcefully take the Heavenly Treasure from a mere Pseudo Golden Immortal...?'

'Why is she even trying to control me, or is it that Heavenly Treasures would no...! If that was the case, it'd have become useless after I killed spear god but this hasn't happened.'

'There must be another reason why...' As his thoughts reached this point, a trail of saliva formed from the lips of the duo.

Nimue's appearance then slowly changed from a golden-haired angel to crimson red hair and her eyes became crimson while a pair of purple pupils formed. On her back were two blood-red demonic-looking wings as her skin tone became a light shade of pink!

An evil aura permeated the air as demonic markings etched themselves on her forehead. Saber felt his heart beat faster seeing this... 'It seems that her mind control ability is growing!' Even though he thought this, he wasn't worried.

A mysterious force tried to control Saber's body. 'Huh? Oh, is this her ability? Well, I'm curious about her purpose so I'll let it take over.' With this, Saber suddenly bowed toward Nimue with a fawning look in his eyes.

"Master...?"

Saber's voice resounded in his surroundings. Immediately, Saber cringed inside. 'Tch! I'll make this bitch pay for this...' Saber thought.

'I'm already giving you face by going along with the play, and you think you can make me your servant, hehe, your body will be used as payment for this embarrassment.'

"Kekeke... wasn't this a little too easy." Nimue curled her lips and burst into a peal of laughter. Her seductive twin peaks shook up and down as she let out.

"With you, hehe, Golden Immortals? Haha, I'll be able to ascend to the Second Floor... The home of Prime Immortals! But, the best part is, the rewards don't stop there."

"After being baptized by Hell's Tower's consciousness, I'll have the potential to become a being that has surpassed not just Prime Immortals but even True Immortals. I'll be able to experience True Demonic Ascension..!"

Her beautiful and seductive voice seemed to resonate with her surroundings. As she said these words, the clouds above them darkened, as if reacting to her thoughts. It was as if, with her words, even the world itself was showing support for her dark desires.

But, upon this happening, Nimue's face contorted into a frown. Her eyes looked to the skies, hundreds of thousands of miles away, toward the massive flying ships making their way toward her current location.

"Damn..!"

Seeing these ships, the dark and vile aura surrounding her intensified. Immediately, she grabbed Saber's shoulder before...

Run!

She turned her back to these ships and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In an instant, a couple of million miles were crossed. Such a thing, shocked Saber...

'Even for me, this is a little exaggerated. I would only be able to do such an act only after bursting forth with all my strength.'

Yet, Nimue did it casually. Each of her next steps covered more and more distance. Going from 2 million to 7 million, 20 million, 50 million...

But, the world suddenly turned upside down. The sun and moon disappeared and the surroundings became an infinitely dark and endless space.

{Open... Realm of Endless Void Space}

Suddenly, a deep and seemingly infinitely powerful voice resounded throughout. Saber's body trembled under the pressure as Nimue's face contorted into an even deeper frown. For the first time, she showed traces of fear!

"Y-You! Darcel, how dare you!" Nimue's body came to a sudden halt, shocking Saber's body, causing him to re-awake from the force of the voice that sent him neigh unconscious.

"How dare I...? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk... Isn't it more like, how dare you try to steal my prey? This is the first time that the Hell's Rulers have asked us Golden Immortals to exterminate a newly ascended brat and they even offered such enticing rewards. Obviously, I can't sit by and watch from the sidelines."

Though the space was dark. A truly endless world of the void, Nimue and even Saber could see the figure that just appeared. A figure shaped like a humanoid being but tens of miles tall. His skin was grey and he had two heads, each with only one eye.

"Come on now Darcel, the little thing is not your prey. Do you think that you are the one who'd be able to survive and then acquire this ticket to ascension? Do you think you can defeat me...?"

As this voice landed...

{Open... Realm of Soul Ending Flames}

Suddenly, the endless void space brightened and a flaming sun appeared. It was a bluish sun with an unbelievably large size, radiating endless waves of heat.
