Chapter 400: The Path to Ascension appears... Part-2.
Alverto waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately understood the signal.
They immediately started to slaughter those hundreds of thousands of demons without hesitation.
Blood splattered all over the ground, and hundreds of demons wailed in panic and fear. The crowd started to try and flee in all directions, but Alverto's subordinates didn't let them leave. Hundreds of low-ranked demons got crushed under the feet of the massive crowd and died on the spot.
The atmosphere became chaotic and gore; if it were someone weak-hearted who had seen this scene, they would have fainted from such a massive-scale massacre.
Thousands of lower-ranked demons were killed, and not a single one was allowed to escape.
Alverto smirked at this horrific scenery and then brought out the orb that had devoured nearly all the 'Luck' out of Fade Crest.
The orb started to float in the air, and the broken organs and innards on the ground started to tremble, and the blood started to float towards the orb.
At that moment, Alverto brought out a small knife, cut his finger a bit, and mixed his own blood along with the rest.
The orb started to rotate at an increasing speed, and the blood, will, soul, lifespan, miasma, chaotic mana-everything started to float toward the orb at an extremely fast speed.
Three glowing orbs of light came out of Alverto's head and merged into that massive vortex of blood and gore.
A gigantic tornado made up of blood and the power of souls started to form, and even the clouds were swept away.
The entire sky turned scarlet red, and the chaotic mana started to get repelled like crazy. Neo frowned at this scene.
'Mana is being repelled away from here, and Miasma has started to take hold?'
It is common knowledge that Mana and Miasma can't stand each other at all; they repel each other like crazy and try to eliminate each other's presence as much as possible.
The Maya continent is filled with massive amounts of chaotic mana.
It's impossible for miasma to take hold of this place unless several SS-rankers work hard to straighten out the mana flow and then repel it with world authorities to purposely let the miasma take hold.
But now, everything's happening on its own without the need for any SS-rankers and without the support of any world authorities.
As if the mana of the world is distancing itself from this place out of its own free will.
The sky couldn't hold it any longer, and a rain of dark red water started to pour all over the area as if the world itself was bleeding at the moment.
Everything became dark and depressing, and even the void started to tremble like crazy. The gigantic vortex moved at a terrifying speed, and massive cracks started to appear that were so big that the entire Maya continent started to break apart into pieces.
The commotions caused by all this were so huge that the entire world was alerted, and the world alliance became active in an instant.
SS-rankers from all over the world gazed in the direction of the Maya Continent at the same time and frowned deeply.
Peak SS-rankers immediately noticed the trembling in the space-time fabric and noticed the chaos in the laws of the world.
They immediately headed in the direction of the Maya Continent at the fastest speed possible. SS-rankers all over the world are not old; they are all below the age of five hundred. The Maya continent incident happened a millennia ago, thus none of them has visited the Maya continent personally.
It will take them a matter of a few seconds to reach the Maya continent, and even the fastest person will need a few milliseconds to react and reach the place.
Alverto had calculated everything from the beginning; he knew that there would be dozens of SS-rankers arriving the moment he started the final stage of his plan.
But instead of getting worried, a wide grin appeared on his face when he sensed so many SS- rankers slowly arriving nearby.
"This is the moment I have been waiting for!! I have waited for this moment for two hundred years!!"
The gigantic vortex stopped rotating abruptly, and the crimson-red color disappeared from it altogether.
A massive key the size of a skyscraper appeared as the giant vortex stopped moving.
All the SS-rankers, along with Ashtel and the other, were shocked when they saw that massive 'Key'.
The Dark Red Key seemed like it was hanging in the sky itself, and its aura alone seemed extremely vast and dense.
Without a doubt, this thing is an artifact that is far stronger than the SS-rank.
This artifact is in its own league altogether; its massive aura suppressed even the SS-rankers, making them stop in their place, and none of them dared to move in front of it.
The grin over Alverto's face widened even further as the key started to rotate and the space- time fabric started to get torn apart by its movements.
Just as the SS-rankers were trying to move forward and stop that unknown thing to make more chaos, a powerful spatial fluctuation spread out in all directions with a massive force.
*BOOM*
The space-time fabric was forcefully torn apart, and a gigantic hole was opened by the rotating key.
As if it were trying to open a door right the concept of existence and null, the key embedded itself into the hole of absolute nothingness and rotated on its own as if it were opening some
kind of 'Lock'.
Even Peak SS-rankers were powerless to do anything against it and stop it on time.
Everything happened so fast and with such momentum that no one had the time to stop it or deploy any countermeasures against it.
Massive amounts of miasma started to spread in all directions, and the sky started to weep tears of blood even faster than before!
Bolts of purple thunder lingered in the sky but dared not come close and stayed away in fright of what had appeared in this place.
The dark red key slowly disappeared into nothingness, and the hole in the space-time fabric widened even further.
Everyone distanced themselves from it for fear of falling into it and getting torn apart into nothingness by the absolute null.
"AHAHAHAH!! YES!!! THIS IS IT!!! IT'S COMING!! THE RED KEY OF FATE HAS WORKED!!"
Alverto laughed like a maniac, and his voice resounded throughout the entire area; it was pointless to reason with him in this state.
Even if you kill him now, it's all too late; he's already under the protection of that floating red key, and it's impossible for even SS-rankers to go near him at this moment.
Only he's the one who stands so close to that expanding hole in the space-time fabric and is
still unaffected by it.
The moment he added his own blood to this, along with three fragments, the 'Key of Fate and Destiny' recognized Alverto as its master.
Alverto glanced at Neo and spoke with a crazy smile on his face.
"One of the three main uses of these fragments is to make the 'Key of Fate and Destiny' appear and make it recognize you as the owner; then you can use the 'Key' to make your own 'Path to Ascension' appear in reality!!"
The moment Alverto said those words, a gigantic tower covered in ancient and mysterious ruin started to appear out of that gigantic hole in the space-time fabric.
"The Key of Fate and Destiny has the power to turn anything into reality and make it easier for a person to ascend beyond the limits of the laws of this world!!" "Ahahaha! I have won! The 'Spire of Absolute Ascension' has appeared!! No one can stop it
now!!"
The Spire of Absolute Ascension is the mysterious-looking tower that appeared out of the hole in the space-time fabric by using the Key of Fate and Destiny as the medium.
Alverto has used millions of souls, massive life spans, and the power of luck that was
extracted from Fade to make it all work by force; otherwise, such a thing would have been
near impossible to accomplish.
Alverto turned null into existence and created a 'Pathway to Ascension' out of absolute
nothingness!
This is something even the so-called 'Demi-Gods', the SS-rankers, can't do; even they don't have this power as they are restricted by the laws of this world.
Only something that is completely out of the restrictions of this world's laws can achieve such
an insane feat!
The gigantic tower landed itself on the ground, and the spatial fluctuations repelled everyone
away from it.
All the SS-rankers who came to see the situation were forcefully teleported away back to their homelands and weren't even allowed a chance to resist that forced teleportation.
"Alas, I can only send them back and can't use this method to cause harm; otherwise, I wouldn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
have thrown them all far away from this solar system from where they could have never
returned..."
Alverto shook his head, and the gigantic tower suddenly glowed with a dark red color.
Alverto and Neo both got teleported inside the tower at that instant.
The thread of destiny trebled as a gigantic eye like that of a demon appeared on the tower and started to observe those threads of fate carefully.
As if it had noticed something, the eye glanced at a few threads and then glanced in a certain
direction before using forced teleportation on the people who those strings of fate were
connected to.
The Spire of Absolute Ascension looked extremely hideous and ominous.
As it got drenched in the dark red rain of blood and under the crackling noises of the purple
thunder.
It seemed even more dangerous than the demon continent, which is known for its harsh
environment.
