Chapter 602: The Devouring King's Gaze! Doomsday Returns!
Edolas. The parallel world to this one, Earth Land. Acnologia had only become stronger by fusing with the foundation of an entire world. He certainly didn't have the ability to devour it himself. There was another mastermind.
Erza and Sylvia looked at Ren, who was talking to himself, with confusion.
He grinned. "The mastermind still doesn't want to come out?" He stretched out a hand, and space tore open. A person was thrown heavily to the ground. The person climbed up in terror, trying to escape but unable to move.
Sylvia didn't react much, but Erza's expression froze when she saw him. A man with sky-blue hair and a tattoo on his left eye. He felt very familiar.
"Jellal? Is that you?"
The man she called Jellal moved slightly, showing a gentle expression. "Erza, are you well?"
"…" Erza lowered her head, her expression hidden. Clang! The next moment, her greatsword pointed at his head. "Who are you?! Answer me!"
"You… what are you talking about? I'm Jellal," he explained nervously. But her eyes filled with even more killing intent.
"Alright, stop pretending," Ren couldn't stand it. "You're the Devourer, right? You devoured Edolas and wanted to use Acnologia to devour two worlds."
Hearing Ren state his identity, the man's pupils constricted. "Who are you?!"
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is who is behind you." Ren's gaze fixed on "Jellal's" eyes, not only reading his memories but tracing the source of his power.
"Uh ah ah ah!" Erza hadn't reacted yet when he suddenly let out a mournful scream. Bang!!! His head exploded. Blood splattered everywhere.
As he exploded, Acnologia's dragon eyes widened. He let out a terrified cry. "No!!!" Bang!!! The next second, his body also exploded, and the magic power within him erupted. Fortunately, Ren directly swallowed it.
"This…" Erza looked bewildered.
Ren's brows furrowed then relaxed. "Don't get excited. He's not the Jellal you know. Or rather, the Jellal from this world was a disaster from birth, an Abnormal Doomsday factor."
He seemed to have caused a little trouble. Just now, he had not only read the memories but had also traced the source of the power. And then… he discovered an existence similar to the Time Calamity King.
Sylvia suddenly realized. "No wonder the group chat said the doomsday was over."
[Ding! Detected that the future doomsday factor Acnologia has been eliminated. Doom Companion ends!]
[Ding! Detected that the Abnormal Doomsday factor Devourer Jellal has been eliminated. Doom Companion ends!]
[Ding! Ren gains 7 million doomsday points, Erza gains 1 million doomsday points, Sylvia gains 500,000 doomsday points!]
But this wasn't the end. New notifications appeared.
[Ding! Detected that group member Ren has touched one of the Abnormal Doomsday's roots, the Devouring King! The Devouring King casts his gaze, doomsday returns!]
[Ding! Doomsday has returned to this world, estimated to be a 9-Star doomsday! Group members, please prepare!]
[Nami: Did something strange appear?!]
[Ch'en: Doomsday returns? Can it come back after being resolved?]
[Rory Takakura: And it's 9-stars!]
[Ainz: Ren, big shot, what happened?]
[Ren: Tsk, I wanted to find the root of the Devourer from this Devourer....]
[Esdeath: So you've found the guy named Devouring King?]
[Ren: That's right. I might have provoked him.]
[Shiroyasha: Hoh? Is this guy strong? Straight to a 9-star Doomsday?]
[Ren: How should I put it... In March 7th's world, I encountered the existence behind the Time-Thief, the Time Calamity King. They should be equivalent.]
[March 7th: Eh? When did that happen!]
[Shiroyasha: Did you fight? How was his strength?]
[Ren: ...I don't know. I only know I gave my all to resist the hand that came casually across countless Great Worlds and universes. That universe almost shattered, and it only left a momentary, self-healing mark on his palm.]
[Sakata Gintoki: ???]
[Mikoto Suoh: ???]
...Endless question marks appeared.
[March 7th: Wow! Am I hallucinating? Our universe almost disappeared???]
[Shiroyasha: Crossing countless Great Worlds... You mean Great Worlds that contain countless universes?] She immediately grasped the key point.
[Ren: Yes. In the end, his hand was repelled by the power of those Great Worlds. Otherwise, you might not have seen your revered Administrator.]
