Poison Cultist: Battle in The Void

A deadly aura emanated from Layla, nearly as potent as Sicu's, but Sicu remained unperturbed, knowing that this was the effect of her creation, the "God's World," which had granted her the courage to execute her plan—kidnap Zenith Sea-Colour with the assistance of 500 Celestial Establishment Realm Heaven Slayers.

*Huaaaaa*

The energy radiating from Layla began to tear rifts in the astral space, a testament to the sheer power she wielded.

"I'll fucking destroy them," Layla declared, shedding her ethereal celestial facade as the visage of a Rising Sun God emerged behind her.

"We will fight to the end," all the celestials in the room, except Sicu, roared in unison.

"Mister, please let me go!" Zenith pleaded, his eyes wide with fear as he stared at the ferocious being before him—a Cerberus with three heads, each representing a different force of nature.

Eyes as cold as the setting moon, three venomous scorpion tails protruding from its back, and razor-sharp teeth that could scare even the bogeyman himself, the Cerberus exuded an aura of menace.

"Mister, please, let me go!" Zenith cried out again, his voice trembling with fear as he found himself in a galaxy-like chamber.

"This is a Star System Creation Chamber. What do you think we need you for, lil' brat?" Chen Lin, the Cerberus, revealed a sinister smile, baring his razor-sharp teeth.

"You... What you want is not me," Zenith asserted, his fear giving way to a spark of defiance.

"Oh, you're smarter than you look," Chen Lin nodded in acknowledgment.

"You want Mother's Tianti Core to stabilize a galaxy?" Zenith heard a seductive feminine voice emanating from the chamber, and his heart sank as he recognized it.

"Aunty Sicu," Zenith whispered, tears welling up in his eyes as he hoped for salvation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Zenith Zenith, don't be naive," Sicu chided, her form adorned in a garment that left little to the imagination, accentuating her curves and cleavage.

"Naive?" Zenith's eyes flashed with anger as he clenched his fists, a sense of betrayal washing over him.

"No... Please..." he pleaded, his voice barely a whisper as Sicu revealed her true intentions.

"Why do you think I, who your mother mistreated from a very young age, will help her? Our races are arch-enemies. The Eight Western Systems Union is a facade comprised of only seven systems. Either way, this is a dog-eat-dog world, and only the law of the jungle prevails. Don't trust anyone," Sicu explained calmly, though a burning rage simmered beneath the surface.

"You see, you are the key to solving different problems—hers and mine alike," Sicu continued, pointing to two beings hovering above Chen Lin.

"Now, witness the complete annihilation of the Zenith."

*Huuuuuuuaaaaaaaa*

Tianti Nengliang tore through a portion of the chamber's spatial field, revealing a void battlefield where 1,100 demi-god and peak mortal warriors clashed, their battle devoid of ties to any solar system or galaxy.

*Thud thud*

It was as if Zenith watched a scene unfold on a massive TV screen, the rare Star System Creation Chamber providing the backdrop for the unfolding chaos.

*Hua hua*

Layla soared into the battlefield, her presence akin to a goddess of war unleashing havoc upon her enemies, raging storms swirling around her as rifts appeared with each step she took.

"How..." Sicu stumbled backward, her eyes widening in disbelief at Layla's power.

"She's bringing her Sea-Colour to the Void Battlefield... What would I expect from her? Bet she already knows of my betrayal," Sicu mused, a smile creeping onto her lips as she regained her composure.

"Storm Creation Magic: Galactic Storm," Layla commanded, directing the tempestuous winds at the Heaven Slayers.

"Your plan ain't gonna work. Gods Magic: System Expand," Layla countered, roots of white energy extending from the storm to bolster her defenses.

"Bring in the Nean. Gods Magic: System Expand," Sicu retaliated, roots of red energy emerging behind the Heaven Slaying Army.

*Xlash clash crash*

The opposing solar roots collided with a deafening roar, the clash of energies reverberating through the chamber.

"Fight!" the two armies roared in unison, charging headlong into battle.

*Ceng ceng boom slash kaboom*

"Asta!" two Zouwu generals of the Heaven Slaying Army descended upon Dreamlord Asta, their attacks fierce and relentless.

*Kaboom*

Elov, wielding a thin white sword and noticing the deadly predicament of Asta , jumped in and faced off against the two Heaven Slaying Zouwu beasts, their admer-like skin proving a formidable defense.

*Huuuuaaaa*

A ring of energy enveloped the Zouwu beasts as they were cleaved in half by Elov's blade.

"I owe you and your family a great favor," Dreamlord Asta grinned, turning to face Elov.

"Now, let me do you a free favor." A dream rune, powerful and intricate, expanded to encompass a 300-kilometer radius, its potent magic capable of inducing eternal slumber.

"Die!" Elov roared as he launched himself at a Heaven Slayer, his sword poised to strike.

"Soul Shattering Magic: Dawn Taker!"

"Sword Spirit Black Lotus Amia!"

The blade, now imbued with a dark energy, connected with the Heaven Slayer's neck, sealing their fate in a deadly dance of destruction.
