Chapter 24 - The Rumbling

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

———————————

My avatar appeared in the modern world inside the home of the summoner. Walking outside, I took a deep breath. "Hear me, people of this world! Those of you who have received my blood will be taken somewhere special, while those who have not… I am sorry." I had brought every person who had received my blood to the paths and spoke to those who had prayed to me simultaneously.

The ones who had received my blood had been stored in the system, while those who hadn't would get what was coming to them. I bit my hand hard enough to draw blood, and crimson-yellowish lightning surrounded my body.

*CCCHHHRRRRIIII*

A massive lightning bolt struck the ground with a crimson-yellowish color attached to it. The strike was so powerful that even when the blast hit the earth, it spread outward along the ground like a wave. Instantly, a giant humanoid appeared with its spine bent backward, and its arms stretched out.

"Hahhh." A sigh of relief escaped my Titan as I kneeled to the ground. "ROOOAAAHHHH!" Thousands of bolts of lightning hit the ground all at once. What appeared from the strikes were thousands of colossal 60-meter Titans.

"Walk," I spoke to the mindless colossal titans, and walk they did. The thousands of Titans walked forward, and upon moving from their spawning spot, again, thousands of lightning bolts struck the ground, spawning more mindless colossal Titans

"To those who can hear me, the Titans have begun their march. They will not stop until every life on this planet is flattened beneath their feet." I told those who had prayed to me, but it did not matter as my founding titan stood up and began walking forward with the first line of colossal Titans.

The Titans would start at Japan and go outward in a circle, slowly traveling the entire world. My Founding Titan's stride was way faster than the colossal Titan's walking speed, so I spoke once more.

"Sprint." The colossal Titans began to sprint forward. The ground shook even harder from their weight and how unified their steps were. As more spread out, the spawning of colossal titans was still happening. The thousands became tens of thousands, and the tens of thousands became hundreds of thousands.

The heat of the Titans was enough to set an average person aflame. The people below were either crushed, set ablaze, or killed themselves to escape. My soul count quickly rose as each death caused by any of my Titans would get their soul put into the system. "The rumbling has begun," I whispered into the ears of all who had prayed to me.

It was only when I had crushed a million lives that the first response from the military arrived. I wasn't like Eren Yeager in the fact that I wouldn't let my enemies keep their powers to take my freedom. Allowing those who stand against you to keep their strength to oppose you, even if they are your friends, is stupid.

The first few jets came in and fired at me, only to leave not even a scratch. The modern military might have been weakened due to the influx of a new, inbuilt power, but it didn't matter. Tanks, jets, helicopters, and even missiles were ineffective due to them not being able to aim for the nape because of the steam. Even if they did hit my nape, I could harden, regenerate, or dodge.

I had killed another couple million people as I looked into the sky and saw it. A singular plane was flying above me and seemed to be dropping something. I knew this was their ace in the hole, the nuclear bomb. I made a long chain with Warhammer Titan hardening and spun it around. The chain, once at a good enough speed, was whiplashed into the air directly in the direction of the bomb.

The chain was over a thousand meters long and twenty meters wide. The chain made contact with the bomb and…

*VRRBBBMMMM*

The bomb had exploded, but when nuclear bombs explode in the air, their damage is lessened, but the radiation is spread further. The shockwave did burn, but it was nothing a bit of healing couldn't fix. With their best weapon ineffective, the rest of the world should fall as easily.

'I remember watching on YouTube about who would win, Eren with Founder or the modern world, and they always said the modern world would win, but it seemed they were lying.' I thought with an internal smile. The screams of those buried under my foot rang out, and I couldn't care less as I just kept walking.

'Men, women, and children, every last one!' I thought with a frown on my face. 'So many times you could have instantly ended the conflict, yet you continued to prance around even when you knew what would happen years before it became a reality!' I continued thinking about how stupid Eren was for allowing all that happened to continue while he had the power to see the future. The future only occurs because the one who sees it does nothing to change it!

With the millions of souls I just got, I used a couple to make an ability.

Prince of Chaos: As long as the concept of chaos exists, you shall never be erased. Death doesn't mean anything in the face of you, as even if you die, you'll resurrect as long as chaos exists.

The rumbling didn't even need me walking with it, and because of that, I turned on my avatar autopilot and allowed Karasu and Anos to see through my avatar's vision through a TV screen.

Once Japan was gone, all the Titans going in my direction, including me, swam to China. The Chinese government really did try to defend, but it wasn't meant to be, as we crushed every weapon on the ground under our feet. The earth we left behind was a barren wasteland of massive footprints. Not even the environment was spared from this walk, and in the end, it would be the end of this planet.

The reason I had chosen this world was because no god was defending this universe. Think of universes as computers and their creator as the owner. The apps are life, planets, and stars, while viruses are eldritch creatures. Of course, the universe has a natural defense against us, but what if one of the people in this universe shuts down the firewall and allows one creature in?

You have allowed a virus into the computer, and now it will corrupt the entire thing until nothing is left. Well, I don't even know if this universe has life besides Earth, as the god who created this could be dead. Gods usually defend against creatures like myself 24/7, and they never have time for themselves.

In the Pokémon world, people always try to summon Arceus, yet they never understand that he's probably battling to protect his universe from external threats. The life of a true creator god is never easy, and because of that, the most powerful ones have my respect.

Because they had allowed me in despite dropping three nukes on me, I was still continuing my rampage through China. My soul count had reached a billion as all my colossal Titans spread worldwide. Only around seven billion more till I can leave this planet.

———————————————————

Almost everything is gone beneath the footsteps of the rumbling. I did see helicopters and planes flying over, but they can only take so many people compared to the billions I'm trampling. Only around 20 percent of the planet remains, and with my millions of colossals quickly closing in from every direction, they won't live long.

Soon, there will be nothing left but endless footsteps littering this planet. I should start making abilities to counteract my lack of stats versus the higher-tier beings in case I do meet someone stronger than me.

Domain Expansion: Infinite Crimson Expanse: Infinite Crimson Expanse, also known as Infinite Crimson, makes whoever gets hit by the domain experience infinite reincarnations and fills the soul with these experiences. The enemy in the domain is stuck in place due to experiencing an unlimited amount of lives simultaneously. The domain starts as nothing but a white void as if nothing exists yet, but slowly, over time, becomes crimson the more reincarnations are experienced. The soul will shatter if given too many experiences or can turn into a "Spawn of Crimson," an eldritch chaos spawn that listens only to The Crimson Prince. The spawn loses all of its original personality and becomes a mindless creature that only has the drive to obey The Crimson Prince. (Slowly, The Scarlet King on a throne with seven chains appears behind The Crimson Prince. What causes the shattering of the soul is The Scarlet King appearing in their reincarnation and erasing a portion of their soul the longer they reincarnate. Eventually, making it so they exist nowhere.)

' If Unlimited Void is an everything that allows you to get nothing. Then Infinite Crimson Expanse is a nothing that gives you everything.' I thought with satisfaction at this first ability created.

I was only going to use three billion souls to create "hax" abilities instead of trying for stat points.

Eldritch Parallel Thought Processing, Me and You, Concept of Crimson, Body and Soul, Fate Manipulation Resistance, Reality Manipulation Resistance, Existence Erasure Nullification, Soul Manipulation Resistance, Mind Manipulation Immunity, Calamity Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Space Manipulation, I Am Crimson, Inner Universe, Instant Death Immunity, Atomic Breath, Radiation Manipulation, Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, Understanding Resistance, Respawn, Paradoxical Entity, Revive, Undying, Second Wind, Regenerative Immortality, Commands of Power, Imagine Breaker Resistance, Fiction Resistance, Perception Manipulation, Neutron Star Collapse, Fission Reaction Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Higher Dimensional, Above Mortal Existence, Storm Manipulation.

These are the abilities I decided to get with those souls. Most of them are defense-based, and some even have the same kind of effects, but that doesn't matter.

The rumbling could be considered done as I stepped on the last bit of land not touched. The making of these abilities took a lot of time to think out what I really needed. With the rumbling done, all the colossal Titans started turning into steam.

I removed myself from my Titan and used my ability to teleport back to Nyarla's house. The markings of leaving the Titan still on my face, I walked upstairs and went back to gaming with Nyarla.

Hours later, I had just finished conversing with Nyarla when I remembered. "Damn! I can't believe I forgot!" I screamed out. "What did you forget?" Nyarla said to me while I was getting up. "Oh, I just forgot to turn on the song I made, "Stuck To You" I knew I wanted to listen to it." It was a song I remade due to my love of the artist who made it.

"Wait! That's not what I forgot! I'll be right back." I exclaimed again.

————————————————————

Back in my actual body, I was out on the sand as this creation would be enormous. I had gotten about 4.7 billion souls from the modern world that I didn't use. I was going to use four billion on this one creation!

I spent one million human souls and the 57 lesser eldritch souls Anos had gotten to form a soul with a specific ego and size. The body had six legs with three golden claws and some more golden bone-like structures around the ankles. The primary colors of the body are gray, black, and red. More of the golden bone lines the creature's neck, with three on each side and some more on the creature's head.

The short tail and wings that look to be made of shadow show that this isn't a regular creation. The wings have three red spikes on them, and they complement it well with the deep red eyes that almost seem crimson.

"I shall name you Giratina." The dragon woke up as I finished speaking. It stood up to its maximum height of 31 feet and kneeled before me.

Loaded Materials: None

Talent: Dragon God Origin

Explanation: Giratina is one of the three of the creation trio, and because of this grand status, she also has an Origin Form. When Giratina enters its Origin Form, all stats grow by 300 percent, restoring Giratina to perfect health. (SN: Giratina unleashed its true strength!)

Talent 2: Sin of Wrath

Explanation: A title given to her by her creator. As long as she is wrathful about anything she does, her abilities grow by 50 percent. (The title bonuses will increase the longer she has it.)

Talent 3: The Distortion World

Explanation: Giratina has its own dimension that acts like hell, with Giratina as its Satan. Giratina can appear anywhere by going into and then leaving the distortion world. In this world, Giratina is akin to a true creator god, and all laws bend to her will.

I have made a true masterpiece! Giratina was probably almost as strong or maybe as strong as the original. The satisfaction I have cannot even be explained. With four billion souls used, Giratina's abilities were so powerful that comparing her shadow manipulation to even a shadow god was like comparing a rock to a planet.

She was a being equivalent to Lucifer, and with her power, she could cast whole solar systems into darkness even without her Origin Form.

I even gave her a humanoid form based on Helltaker Lucifer and the reason Giratina was a she was due to my subordinates not having enough gender variety. 'I love hanging out with the boys as much as the next guy, but I'm not into this whole thing being a sausage party 24/7. I now understand why being surrounded by female subordinates is a dream of many men.' I thought to myself with a frown. Even with all this power, Giratina was nowhere close to the level of an Outer God.

I had placed all my Titan shifters into my inner world and told them that an "evil Outer God" was going to destroy their planet and that the reason I spread my blood around was to save them. The suckers actually believed me with all their heart! It was so funny I could laugh!

I made the inner world the perfect paradise for them and even set up houses and essential modern equipment so that they could get on their feet. My inner world was 15 times bigger than Earth, so they should be able to have billions of people without worry.

With them all worshiping me, I felt the chains holding me back snap as I felt freer than in any way I had before. I had progressed to a Higher Spawn and now could upgrade my stats even more. To go up the power system, I needed worshipers, and that was why I had gotten a couple million humans.

The price to upgrade my stats had doubled, though, and because of the upgrade, the quality of my stats had gone up. It was like compressing my stats and allowing for more power while the number didn't go stupidly high.

If before it was 5, now it is 2.5. The price per stat upgrade should be 400 human souls. I immediately used 24 million human souls to max out all my stats.

Talent Ability 1: Eldritch Spawn

Explanation: Being an eldritch spawn, you can do a lot of things, but the basics are seeing souls, being able to travel to The Outside, Understanding resistance, and many other minor effects.

Talent Ability 2: Eldritch Blood

Explanation: The eldritch are a race of chaos and destruction, and it is very easy for them to destroy their surroundings just by their presence. Eldritch Blood gives you a better affinity with disorder, death, and destruction.

Talent Ability 3: Chaos Addiction

Explanation: The eldritch are bringers of chaos, disorder, and depravity. The eldritch are attracted to chaos so much to the point that they actively seek it.

Talent Ability 4: Crimson Prince

Explanation: As the crowned prince of The Scarlet King, you are not without identity, and the crown on your head shows that! The crown boosts all stats and abilities by 50 times and will continue to increase as you age!

Talent Ability 5: Blind Idiot Son

Explanation: As the child of Azathoth, all his pantheon shall recognize you and treat you as one of their own! Those of higher power might not make a move on you if they are connected to Azathoth, thus treating you as if you were their equal or higher, even though you may not be on the same tier of power!

Items: None

Evaluation: You are a growing monster among monsters. If nothing gets in your way, you shall rise to the top of the omniverse and destroy anything in your way!

I felt I could instantly rise to the next level but decided to hold off on that as I currently didn't have enough souls to make another creation I wanted. I would instead boost my abilities and subordinates than sink millions of souls into my stats that get increasingly more expensive. Growing my subordinate's powers was cheaper than developing my own.

I was probably- no, I was definitely the strongest at this tier of power. Anyone at my level would fold before my power quicker than a flower in the desert. I would have to bring up my subordinate's stats to try and get closer to Giratina, as that is my new baseline level of strength.

'Look at me shooting for a power almost halfway to an Outer God while still at this low tier of power.' I thought with a smile on my face.

———————————————————-

This chapter is over 3,000 words, but I had to keep it pushing! I told you that you would want another chapter for this entire thing!

This is my new longest chapter, and I hope you enjoyed it. I played The Isle for six hours and died to Mixpackers, so this came out later than it should have.

Helltaker Giratina has arrived! Who knew Satan was so hot?!
