Chapter 56 - Where Is that Energy Now

"You disrespected what's mine. I couldn't do much because of the responsibilities of running an empire… well, since Seth is back, nothing is holding me back." She said calmly and with cold finality in her voice.

Wasn't she overpowered? Yeah, but she quickly had to return to the Nexus empire before it was too late and the damage became permanent. After all, she wasn't a UR tier talent holder, so of course her powers had some serious drawbacks and limitations, amongst which her immunity was nothing before her Ice's full potential and overwhelming strength when unleashed completely.

She instantly fell to the ground hard, grasping at her heart in severe pain as soon as she returned to safety, coughing up some blood that stained her lips red, but she wasn't sad or anything negative, and instead was grinning widely with satisfaction, for she got the chance to see her true potential in action, although she would have loved a UR tier talent instead, this was okay for now and sufficient.

"I wonder how long this would heal." She said weakly, looking at her reflection in a nearby surface, which had part of her flesh missing entirely, revealing only bones underneath the damaged skin. How could she remain unharmed using such overwhelming power that exceeded her body's limits?

This was simply the drawbacks of it; it was nothing too great or unexpected. Just her being, soul, and so on simply couldn't handle that much power coursing through her, so it froze and damaged itself as a consequence.

"Now, how would I break you?" She said with dark intent, turning towards Stephen with cold eyes filled with malice, who shook in terror and fear, but it was pointless, as his strength was frozen solid and immobilized.

"Your SSS tier ability, sadly, isn't worth keeping you alive, so after breaking you completely and utterly, I shall seal you away in ice of eternal suffering." She said ruthlessly and without mercy or compassion. Seth was her property now and always. Stephen had overstepped far too many times and crossed too many lines… death wasn't something she would be too nice to hand out to him quickly.

So, things happened to Stephen that couldn't be written down in detail or described fully. Let's say that Stephen's dignity as a man was crushed completely and irrevocably, his pride destroyed beyond repair or restoration, his butt hole was destroyed, and he had to welcome many beasts that happily did unspeakable things to him without end. Of course, her Ice helped these beasts ensure Stephen greeted every instant... and by instant, I meant instant.

Such a small amount of time, a time so small that humans can't even comprehend it. In such an extremely small amount of time, Chu Yin had Stephen be able to comprehend and regret every instant of the hell he was going through. I was cruel beyond cruel, an act no human should ever have to go through... but to Chu Yin, it was a warm-up.

Chu Yin was a monster, a demon in human skin and form… it almost suited her perfectly that she looked like the goddess of death, Hela.

But with Stephen away from England and no longer present, trouble began to stir rapidly. After all, Stephen was in a meeting with demons when he suddenly teleported over to deal with Chu Yin before he disappeared entirely from their sight… and now the demons caught on to his disappearance and absence, growing suspicious.

Luckily for England and its people, Seth, who had become its new overlord and ruler, was quickly alerted to the chaos there and teleported over to deal with the demons personally and immediately.

"I would have to apologize, but England is under a new overlord. Mind respectfully returning home?" Seth said politely but firmly, appearing above a demon that was about to eat a little child alive and terrorize the area.

"Oh, whose going to stop us?" The demon grinned evilly and with arrogance and superiority. Stephen, although weak compared to others at the top, had an SSS-tier talent; only another SSS-tier talent could have defeated him in direct combat. The battle should have tired them out significantly and drained their energy, meaning they had the chance of defeating the person who defeated Stephen in his weakened state.

"I will be nice, leave, and I will not invade your galaxy," Seth said with a confident smirk spreading across his face, making the demons all burst into laughter at the absurd threat and display.

"Oh? You really think you can invade our galaxy?" They asked mockingly and dismissively, making Seth smirk even wider with amusement. So, he disappeared in a flash of movement, and the next instant, all of the demons found themselves captured and bound in magical chains that sealed their strength completely and rendered them helpless.

"I will go a step further, I will make you all watch as I invade, loot everything, and leave your galaxy empty of resources… which I don't even need. I'm only doing it because." Seth said with a smirk, and at that moment, the demons' smiles were long gone, replaced instantly with silent, frozen expressions as they knew they had miscalculated their chances of winning

Seth laughed at this, and since none of the demons were laughing or even reacting anymore, he decided it was only fitting that he filled up the silence they left behind rather than let it hang without a response from him.

"You were all laughing moments ago. Where is that energy now?" Seth asked through another laugh since... well, he had to match their energy from before, right?

But he quickly turned his attention to finding the gate to their galaxy. It took only an instant for him to locate it, and the moment he entered the demon galaxy, and wasted no time as he began the looting of the demon galaxy—an entire system that had belonged to demons who had existed for millions of years—without the slightest trace of hesitation.

The demon galaxy had been united under the command of the demon lord, a being who was stronger than the Abyss lord, yet despite that level of strength, he was killed by a single slap from Seth. With the demon lord gone, Seth took everything the galaxy contained that held any use to him, leaving nothing of value behind once he was finished.

"By the way, they dared me to do it." Seth threw the captured demons back to the remaining demons with a mocking smirk plastered across his face, before he turned and returned home through the gate. He left all of the demons standing there, staring at those defeated demons with vast, boundless rage filling their eyes and consuming their thoughts.

Meanwhile, Seth returned home and went on to use the massive collection of resources he had gathered to build his empire further, making sure that everyone under his rule was ready and fully prepared for the coming war between planets that was about to start. 

By the way, there were grades that measured empires and their level of conquest. The Nexus Empire was a grade 0.6 empire, which meant it hadn't even fully conquered its own planet. A grade 1 empire was an empire that had conquered its entire planet, which was a hard task for many civilizations to reach and accomplish.

A grade 2 empire was an empire that had conquered its entire solar system, not just a single planet. This was even harder to achieve than grade 1, as simply traveling around the solar system was already a challenge that required significant resources and time.

A grade 3 empire was an empire that had conquered at least 1 billion solar systems scattered across space. This was another impossible task that could take millions of years to complete. Even the elven galaxy, with all its power and history, only had grade 3 empires at best.

But the Demon galaxy was a grade 4 empire, which was an empire that had conquered an entire galaxy under a single rule.

"Where did you run off to?" Sora asked, flipping through the pages of the book he had gotten from the demon galaxy. The book spoke about the universe and contained the information they had managed to gather over the empire's long lifespan.

"Nothing important," Chu Yin said, looking to the side to avoid Sora seeing the half of her face that was all bones.

"Did you know that it's almost impossible for an Empire to reach beyond its galaxy without an SSS tier talent, and even then, they have to deal with Ur tier talents?" Seth asked softly, sighing as he realized the time to deal with other Ur tier talents was around the corner.

"Yes, but we should focus on reaching grade 1 before anything else and get that reward. But I doubt we are going to break the world record of reaching grade 1, so we should aim for the record of reaching grades 2, 3, and 4 instead," she said softly.

"Yeah… if only I knew what Ur tier talents were like, it would help me plan better," Seth said softly.

"SS tier talents touch upon the conceptual level, SSS tier abilities are normally conceptual in nature, Ur tier talents are considered absolute powers, which act no matter what unless canceled out by another absolute power," she explained, making Seth look up from his book to look at her. He instantly frowned, seeing how she was behaving.
