Chapter 89

Esdeath looked up at the god who came to tear apart the space, and listened to the other person's words. The target was still her.

Although she didn't know why, she didn't need to know why.

Esdeath hugged her body with both hands. She could not control her body from shaking at this moment, as if she were an ordinary person facing a volcanic eruption or a world-destroying tsunami. But she could feel the fire in her heart, fight, fight! Fight with this unimaginably powerful 'god'. Satisfy the unsatisfied emptiness inside.

"Hehehe, so strong, so powerful, so scared, but so excited..."

Esdeath was roaring in her heart and said with excitement on her face: "Using the laws of nature? Although I don't know what it means, the target is me. Since it is me, there is no need to talk nonsense! Let me see how big the gap between me and the gods is!"

The moment she shouted these words, her trembling body jumped crazily, and the ice power in her body was instantly released with all its strength.

"Drink!"

The arm holding the sword waved towards the 'god' in the sky. Blue light instantly bloomed in the space ahead.

*Click click click*

Accompanied by the harsh sound of glaciers moving rapidly and eating the earth, icebergs thousands of meters high rose from the ground in the blink of an eye and stabbed towards the 'gods' in the sky.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble*

Icebergs hundreds of meters long appeared at a speed beyond ordinary human reaction. In an instant, where there was once grassland, there was now a glacier stretching for dozens of miles. The temperature dropped by two hundred degrees instantly, approaching absolute zero.

Asmodeus raised her hand indifferently, and a red space cube appeared on her palm. This was the condensed state of the space laws. It was the 'master' who possessed 100% authority over the law, not the 'control' of ordinary demons over the law.

"Snort!"

She snorted coldly. The space where Esdeath was instantly froze, as if enclosed in a piece of transparent glass.

Esdeath's body, mid-jump, became immobile for an instant, but she didn't care because her attack had already reached the 'god.' Her ice-blue eyes were full of madness.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble*

Hundreds of iceberg spikes bombarded Asmodeus, and for an instant, the sky for several kilometers was occupied by huge inverted pyramid-shaped icebergs. However, the iceberg did not last more than two seconds before it was shattered by countless crimson space cubes.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble*

No, it wasn't bursting, but rather it was swallowed. In the blink of an eye, the iceberg several kilometers high was consumed by countless red cubes like a torrent. The cubes then formed a dozen massive serpentine shapes that rushed towards Esdeath, who was imprisoned in space.

Esdeath's ice-blue eyes reflected the 'god' who remained unscathed, not even a single hair out of place.

"What?! With all my strength, I couldn't even make a scratch!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

It was as if the strength she poured into her attack had broken her limits, and Esdeath screamed, attempting to break through the blockade. Her body emitted a blue light even brighter than before.

*Click click click*

Under the blue light, time seemed to slow down and was about to be frozen at absolute zero. But before she could shake the confined space, she was overwhelmed by a giant serpent composed of more than a dozen space cubes.

Thousands of cubes instantly shrank, with Esdeath at the center, leaving only a golden cube in the end. The golden cube appeared in Asmodeus's hand in the blink of an eye.

"Controlling nearly complete rules, but not condensing them into authority?"

Asmodeus looked at the golden cube with Esdeath sealed inside, her gaze indifferent. She did not even glance at the million soldiers, whose faces twisted in fear. A huge tear opened in the space behind her. After Asmodeus entered, the spatial gap healed quickly.

All that was left were the dozens of kilometers of glaciers from the battle and the million-strong army, still in shock and barely beginning to recover from the fear.

After the earth-shattering pressure dissipated, the first to recover was Esdeath's direct subordinate, the 'Three Beasts.' The old gentleman Liva regained some composure, his face filled with fear and his mouth trembling: "General Esdeath, the general... was killed, killed by a god!"

Niu looked down at her soaked trousers, trembling: "In an instant... General Esdeath was defeated (crushed)... This is a god!"

At that moment, the minds of the million-strong army were still blank. Most of them were paralyzed with fear. The horses beneath them had rolled their eyes, appearing as if they had been frightened to death.

Just moments before, Esdeath had been resolute in challenging the gods, but in the blink of an eye, she had been subdued. If one did not respect the gods, would they be noticed and punished by them?

A noncommissioned officer came to his senses, tears and snot running down his face. He wasn't crying because Esdeath was killed but because of the sheer terror of witnessing divine power.

"The general was killed by a god! Hurry, send the message back to the capital!"

While the million-strong army was in chaos, Asmodeus had returned to Sky Island. After walking out of the 'Gate of the World,' she faced Takumi, who sat on the throne, watching her with his cheek resting on his hand. She lowered her head and said respectfully, "Master, the mission is complete."

After saying that, she presented the golden cube on her palm.

Takumi picked up the golden cube in Asmodeus's hand with his fingers and praised, "Well done, you are indeed my most capable subordinate at present."

Despite the praise, Asmodeus's expression remained cold, though her golden eyes softened slightly. It was evident that she was pleased by the compliment. This made Takumi click his tongue inwardly. Fanes had been a qualified master—just a few words of praise made the child happy. The child didn't want any substantial reward, just a few words of acknowledgment, which Fanes could hardly bring himself to say.

Takumi threw the golden cube at his feet, and it instantly expanded to two meters, revealing Esdeath frozen inside. The block disappeared, and Esdeath appeared at his feet, kneeling on her knees.

Takumi held his cheek in his hand, looking at Esdeath with interest. She wore a white military uniform, resembling that of a lieutenant colonel, but the uniform could barely contain her chest, with two buttons undone. Her long ice-blue hair fell to the ground due to her kneeling posture.

"I'm not dead?"

Esdeath felt very dizzy, but her consciousness was clear. Since she wasn't dead, she knew she had been captured by the 'gods,' and she wasn't restrained like a prisoner now. Perhaps it was because there was no need for mortals to imprison prisoners in front of gods.

Esdeath raised her head, and what came into view was the 'young man' sitting casually on a magnificent throne close to her. The god who captured her stood beside him, assuming the posture of a servant.

As she looked into his golden eyes, she was instantly stunned, as if her soul had frozen. The supreme aura rushed towards her, overwhelming her, making her incapable of resisting, and even unable to think of any form of attack against him.

In his eyes, she seemed to see the rise and fall of civilizations, the end of time, the creation of worlds, and the ultimate destruction.

He spoke, and his voice brought her back to consciousness.

"Esdeath, from now on, you are my property. You... have no objection."
