As he watched the huge Black Lightning Bomb descend to the ground while the crowd of demons ran for their lives, a mysterious feeling rippled through Longwei's heart. Surprise instantly emerged on his face.
How many years has it been since he last felt this way?
Due to losing the memories of his previous past life, Longwei had developed many personalities. On Earth, he was dispirited with no ambition whatsoever, which was why he had spent most of his time playing video games.
However, he was always an aloof and solitary person and through all the different video games he played, he never associated himself with any other person. The number of people he had killed while playing video games was much larger than he could ever imagine. Even after he started to build his own empire in different games and became emperor of his own domain, he was always ruthless and enjoyed killing his enemies, although he tried to spare the innocent. He might sometimes kill ten or twenty by mistake, but not a lot.
He had never feared any other power and was not afraid to offend anyone. There was not a single thing he was afraid to do in games. Playing video games was the only time he could be true to himself. He used to think that he was a psycho for enjoying those things because the only times he felt alive was when the adrenaline coursed through his veins by killing and doing unthinkable things. However, because he was living on Earth, which was bound with so many laws and moral codes, he had to bury those feelings deep within his heart. Even after he reincarnated into the sacred mainland, which was a lawless land where the strong ruled, he was still bound by some of the shackles of the laws of Earth and its moral code.
However, after he had truly awakened the Gamer's Godship and was able to participate in the Universe's Ruler Selection Death Game, he finally regained the memories of his past life before Earth. Unlike the demons, human beings are able to reincarnate multiple times because their soul simply resides in their flesh, rather than being united with it. To his surprise, Longwei had found that he was not a good person in his life before Earth and the way he usually felt while killing players in the video games and ruling over others was his true self. The feelings he had while playing video games, the adrenaline that rushed through his veins while battling an army overlaps with his past personality.
Right now, as he looked at the terror on the demons' faces while running for their lives, as he saw the frightened looks of the human saints as well as the demon commanders, Longwei felt like he finally broke through the shackles of Earth. He started to revert to his true self, a lone ruthless cultivator that once stood at the peak of the Divine Realm.
While Longwei enjoyed the miraculous feeling of being free from his shackles, the demons were facing their apocalypse.
They were all brave demons warriors, and they were the ones who usually bathed in the enemies blood. They were considered among the most vicious and powerful races in this land, yet they ran away from a pesky human youth. Not even in their wildest imaginations did they think something like that would ever happen. They all thought that they were going to meet their end in the Demon continent or the continent that the Giants have occupied in battle, yet they were going to meet their demise on a nameless island at the hands of a nameless human youth. One can imagine the frustration in the hearts of brave and ruthless warriors like them.
'Damn, I should have gone to the Giant battlefield instead of coming here to this damn place to meet such an end,' thought most of them as they watched the Black Lightning Bomb approach. The dazzling Black Lightning Bomb gave off a sensation of being as heavy as a mountain and contained the power to devour and destroy everything or anything.
BOOM!
Before most of the demon soldiers could even get away, the Black Lightning Bomb landed on the ground.
A thunderous sound resonated throughout the whole forest as the Black Lightning Bomb blasted into the ground which caused the ground to cave in and the earth to tremble from the impact. The violent impact of the Black Lightning Bomb channeled from the geomagnetic core of the world generated an earthquake that rocked the whole Island.
As the Black Lightning Bomb landed on the ground, it did not explode but shattered like broken glass or a bag full of water. Countless lightning bolts billowed outwards, spreading and filling the entire area where the demons were. It was like a flood, but instead of water, it was a cascade of a large number of black lightning bolts. The ones that were at the epicenter of the Black Lightning Bomb turned into nothing but ashes and dust. Not even their bones remained.
Roar!
Ahhhahhhh!!!!!!!
Roars and yells of despair and rages echoed throughout the vast plain as the demons were running away from the flood of black lightning that continued to spread and destroy everything that stood in its way. Plants and living creatures were destroyed indiscriminately. The fear in their hearts darkened like the low clouds as they continued to run away or fly away.
As they watched the demons behind or next to them vanish into puffs of smoke, as if they were nothing, their griefs, and their fears grew stronger and flowed like the flood as the black lightning bolts were rising, twisting, spreading with the raw power of destruction.
While the demons were facing their worst nightmare, Longwei stood in the sky like an emperor, watching and listening to the hoarse howls of the demons. As he watched them rush away, followed by the sudden devastation caused by the black bolts of lightning, a strange demonic smile appeared on his face.
At this moment Scarlet and Sylvia had already taken care of the two Kougala demon beasts. They both flew next to Longwei while they were in their true form. Sylvia ended on the right, with Scarlet on the left and Longwei in the middle.
Atop the battlefield, high in the sky, Longwei stood upright, peering into the heavens and projecting the aura of an absolute ruler that even made the demon generals want to fall to their knees.
With both his dragons by his side, Longwei felt as though the days of him regaining his past glory were near, the days of him ruling over this piece of land were near, the days of him returning to the Divine realm were near, the days of him standing at the top of this universe weren't just a pipe dream.
As for the human Saints on the ground, Longwei seemed like a supreme and unrivaled emperor, staring up at the heavens and looking down at the masses. As for the demons, he was like a god of destruction, a god of calamities, and their worst nightmare.
After the flood of black lightning stopped its destruction, all the once beautiful green lands of the earth had become nothing but ashes and charcoal. The air was heavy with the smell of burnt flesh from the demons. The area stood like a skeleton, nothing but barren wastelands wherever the black lightning passed. There was this silence and stillness in the air while an oppressive heat rained down like the breath of hell as Longwei's body emanated a dark bluish energy. Whether it was the demon commanders, or their army, or the human Saints, none of them dared to utter a single word as they looked at the figure in the sky. The deadly silence hung in the air like the moment before a falling glass shatters on the ground.
"BZZZZ."
A massive wind kicked up as Longwei's dark bluish energy continued to grow stronger and gushed forth, surrounding him. Spacetime began to crack like glass shattering. At this moment, Longwei imperiously gazed towards the surviving demons. Not even one of the demons below dared to match his gaze despite their hatred.
"On this island, I am the supreme ruler whether it is magical beasts or human. They are all my subjects and under my protection. You demons dared trespass onto my territory to cause trouble. For your punishment, you can either come forth and worship me as your Master or be turned into ashes."
Longwei's voice echoed out with the ring of command as it was combined with his Absolute Ruler's Domain. The sound waves of his voice drifted into the distance, as most of the lowly demons prostrated themselves in deeper reverence.
The law of the jungle was something the demons, as well as magical beasts, deeply believed in. The strong would be the leader no matter how stupid he may be. Unlike the humans, the world of the demons was even more barbaric. The law of survival where the strong were respected had always been carried out within their bones. The person with the biggest fist was the one who was the boss.
They were always more straightforward than humans. They believed in their fists and strength and possess an adoration and fanaticism that others were unable to understand towards the strong. Unlike the humans, demons have no camaraderie with their fellow demons. Even though each of their abilities might be outstanding, they don't like to cooperate with each other. They only rule over others by their ranking in their powers. All those reasons caused almost all the surviving demons to prostrate themselves on the ground after hearing Longwei's words except for the three commanders.
As Longwei looked at the demons that prostrated themselves below him, he slowly descended to the ground in front of the two demon commanders.
"Submit or die," said Longwei as he stared at the three demons with his cold and murderous eyes.
