Absolute Strength

"He... he's right there, the Devil Aerion Targaryen!" An elder announced.

Aerion smiled as he looked at the many figures in the sky. The Moon God Emperor, the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, Brahma Monarch Goddess, three Brahma Kings and Honorable Tai Yu. Six tenth-stage Divine Masters had gathered, among many more Divine Masters!

The Brahma Monarch God Realm is truly superior to the rest.

"I do not sense a single thread of Devil profound energy from him." The Moon God Emperor stated.

"The Devil?" Aerion laughed.

The Emperor.

"You surely don't mean that, right? I defeated the Star God Emperor and then the other Star Gods attacked me, so I had to kill them all in self-defence. I never used Devil profound energy, but you already know that. This was just an excuse for you to defend your Star God Realm by pitting everyone else against me. Am I correct, Star God elder?"

"I..."

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor frowned at the elder. "You dared to lie about such a matter?"

"Well, yes, I did. The Star Gods were losing so I thought that they needed assistance." The elder replied, looking regretful. "I understand that this was not wise now."

The Moon God Emperor shook his head. "Disgraceful. The Heavenly Genius would never taint himself with anything close to that of Devil profound energy, it seems that this gathering has been a waste."

Honourable Tai Yu stroked his beard. "So you beat the Star God Emperor and killed nine other Star Gods in the same day?"

Aerion nodded. "I am capable of such things."

"That is hard to believe but here we stand." Honourable Tai Yu sighed. "No wonder why you said that the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm was unnecessary."

"The Star God Realm only has three Star Gods remaining but its leader is someone equivalent to ten Star Gods. An interesting exchange, if I do say so myself." The Moon God Emperor smiled. "If you need any type of assistance, please do inform me. The Star and Moon God Realms may be able to forge a better relationship with you as God-Emperor of the Star God Realm."

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor smiled. "Now my son-in-law is a God-Emperor, how brilliant!"

Aerion sighed as he looked at the Star God Wheel. "I've been given a broken Star God Realm, to say the least, but it'll do. I'd like you all to leave as this Dragon Emperor needs to consolidate his power, I believe you all can understand that."

"Yes, we will be on our way."

Aerion sighed. "Nevermind, that would be no fun."

The people leaving stopped in their tracks.

Rotias, give me your strength.

"Taking out all the big shots all at once, eh? Great idea." Rotias agreed.

"What do you mean by that, Aerion Targaryen?" The Moon God Emperor replied.

Aerion put on his helmet and activated Phase 4 along with Silver Calamity. Rotias' power fused with his own once more which resulted in his hair turning black once more.

"I do, indeed, possess Devil profound energy. What are you all going to do about it, hmm?"

Aerion released his tyrannical aura and confidently smirked.

"So, it's true." The Moon God Emperor sighed. "Why lie in the first place?"

"I wanted to see if I could get away with it. Turns out, I could have. However, if I kill all of you now, the Eastern Divine Region's greatest pillars will fall and this Dragon Emperor's conquest will be ever so swift."

"So, I'll allow all of you to bend the knee and become my bannermen. If you don't, then this Dragon Emperor will just have to slaughter you. It's as simple as that."

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor was conflicted, but, in the end, he decided to stand against Aerion Targaryen. "In the end, the Heavenly Genius is no more than a devil. A shame."

"Ah, and I was planning to spare you, what a shame, indeed!" Aerion laughed as his Rinnegan glowed with killing intent. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, not even Ying'er will be able to save you now."

Devil profound energy was pretty much the biggest taboo in the God Realm. In all of Primal Chaos, only the Northern Divine Region accepted it as it was the home of the devils. In the other three Divine Regions, even a possessor of Devil profound energy would be killed on sight.

Aerion's current form was equivalent to a half-step Divine Extinction Realm cultivator which meant that this gathering of Divine Masters was comparable to a group of harmless ants running into his feet, begging to get stomped.

Aerion was naturally obliged to fulfil their demands.

"I see that no one is willing to kneel, that is unfortunate, but do know that your cultivation strength will be put to good use in the end!"

Star God's Broken Shadow.

Pierce.

The Moon God Emperor's heart was pierced by Blackfyre's blade before he could take another breath or even react.

"!?" Every single person present was left astounded by how swiftly a God Emperor of the Eastern Divine Region had fallen. Aerion kicked down the Moon God Emperor's body and cleaned his sword with Crimson Ghost Flames.

"Why did you all stop? I thought the Devil Aerion Targaryen had to be killed at all costs yet you all seem to be shaking in your boots, unable to take a single step forward." Aerion mocked the Divine Masters. "No matter, you were all given a chance and you, too, threw it in the wind just like those Star Gods over there."

"S-son-in-law, surely this is not necessary? We did not understand how strong you truly were..."

"Do not speak again, you piece of trash." Aerion narrowed his eyes at the Brahma Heaven God Emperor.

"..."

A Thousand Cuts.

BOOM.

Every single Divine Master Realm cultivator fell from the sky, excluding the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, Brahma Monarch Goddess, Caizhi and Jasmine.

"As I said previous, I was thinking of sparing you previously if you stood on my side. But you did not, Qianye Fantian."

"..."

Aerion flew closer to the Brahma Heaven God Emperor and pointed his sword to his heart.

"No, you must not harm my royal father!" Qianye Ying'er moved away Blackfyre's blade from her father's heart.

Aerion shook his head. "I can and I will. Now step aside."

Shinra Tensei.

She was sent flying into the ground below. Then Aerion used the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon to freeze her until further notice.

"My daughter... at the very least, you'll have to promise to take care of her if you slay me here." The Brahma Heaven God Emperor stated.

"Oh? I don't remember asking you to speak. Did you protect the Royal Spirits when they asked for the Brahma Monarch God Realm's protection? Hmm, I do not think so. Because of you, He Lin only has one relative remaining, his sister. He had to live without a father or a mother ever since he was eight years old. You're no better than a certain Lannister I know and his frozen head now lays on a spike for all to see."

"..."

"Hmph, but I understand your concern. In that case, I promise to you that Ying'er will be fine as long as she stands beside me."

Aerion drove Blackfyre through the Brahma Heaven God Emperor and killed him. With the newly inherited Heavenly Dragon Star God divine power in addition to Rotias' darkness, his heart had far less space for kindness than before.

Why did you have to stand against me? Devil profound energy was all it took for everyone to turn against me apart from Jasmine and Caizhi.

Aerion sighed as he took the Brahma Heaven God Emperor's cultivation strength with the Heaven Absorbing Silver Claw and added to his own. Then he harvested the Moon God Emperor's, Honourable Tai Yu's and the rest of the Divine Master Realm cultivator's cultivation strength. He kept the leftover divine inheritances within himself to grow his forces.

The second stage of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Divine Masters are useless to me at this point, I'll have to depend on the Seventh Heaven Pearl for further breakthroughs.

Aerion thought of the outer path as he placed the Brahma Heaven and Moon God Emperor's bodies inside of the Kamui dimension. Once he was done, the silence of his surroundings came to him. Not a single breath could be heard even though countless Star God Realm residents looked upon him with absolute fear. They did not dear to speak in the case that Aerion would turn to them.

"Hmph. Jasmine, Caizhi, I want you two to stay here while I make a quick trip to the Snow Song Realm. Take care of Ying'er as well."

Aerion used Izanagi and three tomoes disappeared from his left Rinnegan eye. He had come to realise that once his four uses of Izanagi are used up, the Rinnegan only loses his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities so he's not completely blind. However, the use of Izanagi-No-Okami still blinds both eyes for quite some time as usual.

He sealed Rotias' power once more before leaving.

World Teleportation Portal, the Snow Song Realm.

Aerion took off his helmet as snow began to fall on his silver hair. This moment of peace gave him time to think about everything that had just happened.

About the Heavenly Dragon Star God's divine power, has it changed my personality?

"It certainly has," Rotias replied. "And I dare say it's for the better!"

Aerion did not want to explain the current situation to his Master as it was rather complicated and he did not know how to approach her.

I killed Two God-Emperors, nine Star Gods, three Brahma Gods, Honourable Tai Yu along with countless other Divine Masters. Oh and I crippled the Star God Emperor while also freezing the Brahma Monarch Goddess in place.

Aerion chuckled.

I find it hard to believe I achieved so much in so little time. The Eastern Divine Region's greatest pillars have shattered in the matter of a single day. Only one other God-Emperor remains and he is inside of the Eternal Heaven Pearl for another two years and two months.

Aerion walked over two the place where the Sacred Seven and his family resided which happened to be in the core of the Ice Phoenix City. Using his concealment, he passed by everyone like a ghost. Mu Bingyun was rather accepting as she had to take in Aerion's company.

"Sacred Seven, this Dragon Emperor requires your presence," Aerion spoke with great authority, as usual.

The Sacred Seven gathered rather swiftly, along with everyone else which was slightly troublesome.

"Royal father, where did you get that armour? It looks awe-inspiring!"

"I asked for the Sacred Seven, no one else," Aerion stated as he glanced at Aurion. "Hmph, but since you're here, I might as well gift you with some power."

Aerion gave him a minute portion of the cultivation strength which was Aurion's limit.

"Wow, the Divine Tribulation Realm just like that." Aurion chuckled as silver scales formed on his chest. "Thanks, royal father. My cultivation strength is a little bit unstable so I'll go and sort that out."

Aurion returned to his room.

He can absorb this much? The silver scales... ah, I see. Did he inherit the crimson scales as well?

Aerion wondered.

"Dae Chun, Cai Rong, Fen Juecheng, Sun Lin, Tai Shu, Wei Ling, Mo Yi and Xia Qingyue, you are all going to be granted divine inheritances upon joining me in the Star God Realm. I'll be spending some time assisting you all in consolidating your new-found strength and, when we're ready, I will declare the Dragon Conquest of the Eastern Divine Region."

"I do not wish to drag my wives and children into a conquest so you are to stay here, under the protection of my Master." Aerion looked at his wives and Daeron. "I'll be back soon as this shouldn't take too long."

Aerion used Izanagi once more to recover the World Teleportation Portal.

Now, back to the Star God Realm.
