Tremors

At the Scorpion Demon God’s command, a hundred elite scorpions charged forward menacingly. Just then, hundreds of Dragon Souls flew out of the spatial rift, roaring as they tore the scorpions to pieces.

That was not all. With a bang, Veronica descended from the sky and blocked Skye’s path.

Tony said arrogantly, "Little girl, Brother Tony is here to protect you."

"Shouldn’t it be Uncle Tony? Uncle, you already have a kid. Stop trying to fool little girls."

Skye mocked, "Also, do you believe I’ll tell Ms. Pepper what you just said? Then you’ll have to call the police again."

"Bert told me that men were boys until the day they died. Besides, I’ve never called the police."

Tony rolled his eyes, grabbed Skye, and flew toward the spatial rift in the sky. There were too many enemies. Staying here meant certain death—they had to escape.

"Stay right there."

The Scorpion Demon God snorted. Its scorpion tail crossed space and instantly pierced Veronica’s back armor before flinging her violently toward the ground.

"Good thing the back armor’s thick enough."

Tony’s expression changed slightly. He hurled Skye toward the spatial rift. He might not have been a reliable man, but he was indeed a Super Hero. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would protect others.

Seeing this, the Scorpion Demon God’s eyes lit up as it prepared to knock Skye down. To its astonishment, however, Skye did not take the chance to flee. Instead, she dropped like a falling weight and landed firmly on the ground.

Tony, who had smashed a huge crater into the earth, asked in bewilderment, "Skye, why didn’t you run?"

"Why should I? This dimension isn’t large, and this scorpion isn’t strong. It’s perfect for using my trump card."

Skye said, "I haven’t really tried it before, but I should be able to do it. I can feel the dimension breathing, feel the dimension trembling."

The Scorpion Demon God laughed in fury. "Little girl, are you looking down on me?"

"That’s right, I am looking down on you. Uncle Tony, protect yourself."

Holding King’s Glory, Skye spoke. Tony climbed to his feet and said unhappily, "It’s Brother Tony. Also, what do you mean, protect myself?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

Skye drew King’s Glory. Her long hair and clothes began to flutter without wind. Then, a dazzling halo appeared beneath her feet, while stirring music echoed around them.

"Huh?"

The Scorpion Demon God was dumbfounded. What did this mean? It could not help asking, "Are you putting on a show? To be honest, it looks pretty good."

"No, I’m just activating cheats."

Skye smiled slightly and activated King’s Glory’s ability. A phantom image of the Dragon World suddenly appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterward, hundreds of giant dragons flew into the Dragon World’s phantom. Then, vast power from the Dragon World poured into Skye, and her aura surged without limit.

The immense power nearly burst Skye’s body apart. She roared, and a Dragon Soul Shadow suddenly appeared behind her, absorbing enormous amounts of Dragon World power for her.

"Kill her."

Sensing that something was wrong, the Scorpion Demon God suddenly swelled to the size of a small mountain. Then, its enormous tail crossed space and stabbed toward Skye.

Hearing the Demon God’s command, the scorpion army charged at Skye in unison, their killing intent nearly freezing the entire space solid.

Tony’s expression changed, and just as he was about to act, terrifying vibrational power suddenly erupted from Skye, sweeping in all directions.

The Scorpion Demon God’s tail, Veronica, the countless scorpion soldiers, even the air and soil, were all blasted away. The surroundings instantly became a vacuum, leaving only Skye floating in the air like a goddess.

And that was only the beginning. Next, the ground began to shake violently, rapidly spreading throughout the entire land.

That was right—the entire land. Tony finally understood what Skye meant and hurriedly flew into the sky.

Looking at Skye, who resembled a goddess, Tony broke out in a cold sweat. Were little girls these days really this powerful? Better not mess with her. Better not mess with her.

The Scorpion Demon God’s expression changed drastically. She roared and drew upon the dimension’s power. Her tail came crashing down toward Skye with world-destroying force, like a collapsing pillar of heaven.

"It’s useless, because I can sense every tremor in this entire world."

Skye stretched out her left hand. The space around the tail suddenly shattered, and the Scorpion Demon God let out a miserable scream as her entire tail was ripped apart by space.

"I am Skye, disciple of the Blood God, Quake, Queen of the Inhumans, and Planet Ender, Dimension Destroyer."

Skye shouted, and the entire dimension began to tremble violently—the entire dimension, including the earth, space, and everything within it.

Boom, boom, boom! The land was torn open by one massive chasm after another, and countless scorpions fell into the cracks and died miserably.

Then, vast amounts of magma surged from the chasms. Even the planet’s core had begun to tremble.

That was still not all. Pitch-black spatial rifts appeared one after another in the sky. Tony was scared out of his wits and hurriedly dodged in every direction. He could not afford to touch even a single one of those rifts.

"She really can destroy this dimension. Damn it, I can’t beat Bert now, and I can’t even beat his disciple. What meaning is there in living?"

Tony was both shocked and furious. The title of Earth’s Most Handsome Guy was slipping farther and farther away from him.

"My dimension, my people."

The Scorpion Demon God wore a horrified expression. Thinking of something, she returned to her normal size and flew before Skye. Then, she lowered her Demon God head and begged, "Please, spare my world. Spare my people."

Skye ignored her and continued activating her power. She liked this feeling—the feeling of controlling everything. At that moment, she felt like a god, a god who could destroy everything.

She had forgotten not only the Scorpion Demon God, but even Tony’s life and death.

Seeing that Skye did not respond, the Scorpion Demon God opened her mouth and spat out the origin of her soul. She begged, "Spare my world. I am willing to become your servant and obey your commands."

Whoever controlled the soul origin controlled the Scorpion Demon God’s life and death. This Scorpion Demon God truly loved her world.

Skye still ignored her. At that moment, Skye’s vision blurred, and the Scorpion Dimension turned into a garden. Then, someone struck the back of her head hard from behind.

Skye flew into a rage. Which bastard dared hit the beautiful back of this goddess’s head? She turned and glared angrily, only to see a familiar handsome face. She froze for a moment before saying excitedly, "Master, you’re here."

Wang Bert sneered. "If I hadn’t come, how could I have witnessed Goddess Skye’s grandeur?"

Remembering how she had felt earlier, Skye was a little embarrassed. She said, "Master, I don’t know what happened just now. I suddenly got carried away and started floating."

"This is a heart demon caused by a sudden surge in power."

Wang Bert said, "If you keep this mindset, then you will become a god."

Skye asked in confusion, "Become a god? Shouldn’t having a heart demon mean going mad?"

"You would become the Vibration God. At that point, your humanity would be erased by the divine position, leaving only divinity."

Wang Bert said, "In other words, you would no longer be Skye. You would be the Vibration God."

"Vibration God? That sounds even worse than Quake."

Skye complained. "Master, could I change it to God of Planet Ending?"

"Sure. You can decide for yourself."

Wang Bert turned to leave, but Skye hurriedly grabbed him. "Master, I was joking. I won’t become a god. I want to be a person, like you and Hulk."

Wang Bert asked, "As a god, you could live forever and possess immense power. Wouldn’t you regret it?"

"Why would I regret it? So what if they’re gods? Wouldn’t they still kneel before me?"

Skye said disdainfully, "Besides, I’ve barely even dated. Why would I become a god?"

Wang Bert mocked, "It’s not that you’ve never dated. It’s just that your boyfriends either died or went to prison."

Skye pouted unhappily. "Master!"

"Whether you become a god or remain human is your choice. Your master is merely giving you the right to choose."

Wang Bert shook his head. The surroundings rapidly faded away, and Skye’s consciousness returned outside.

So Master arranged this battle.

Skye understood. At that moment, she saw Tony struggling desperately in the air and hurriedly stopped the tremors.

Then, Skye spread her hand, and the Scorpion Demon God’s soul origin flew into her palm. She put it away.

Skye asked loudly, "Scorpion Demon God, from now on, you are the guardian beast of the Inhuman Empire. You will fight for the Inhuman Empire. Any objections?"

When the tremors around her stopped, the Scorpion Demon God let out a huge sigh of relief and said respectfully, "No objections."

"Very good."

Skye nodded in satisfaction. She returned King’s Glory to its sheath, and the Dragon World projection, halo, windless fluttering, music, and Dragon Soul all vanished.

At the same time, no new rifts appeared in the sky. Tony sighed in relief. That had been close—he had nearly died.

After his relief came deep humiliation. He had nearly died from his niece’s attack—not even a direct hit, merely the aftermath. How could someone as proud as him accept that? Tony clenched his fists once more. Increasing his strength was imperative. Within a year, he had to gain the power to slaughter gods.

Skye looked around and saw spatial rifts covering the sky. At the same time, magma flowed across the ground like rivers. The scorpion army that had survived the disaster huddled, trembling, on a few safe patches of open ground.

There had previously been over a hundred thousand scorpion soldiers. Now, only a little over ten thousand remained.

"Did I really do this? I can actually do something like this?"

Skye looked at her hands, her expression complicated. She felt shock and unease, but even more than that, pride and confidence.

So I, Skye, really can destroy a planet. A dimension.

With this confidence, it was only a matter of time before Skye broke through to the God-Devil Level.

Skye had always possessed such potential. Previously, her vision had merely limited her. Among the Inhumans, only she and Black Bolt were the strongest. That was why they could become rulers.

Tony flew before Skye and frowned. "Can that scorpion be trusted?"

"Her life and death are completely in my hands. Besides, if she dares betray me, I’ll destroy this dimension."

Skye said confidently. The Scorpion Demon God shuddered all over, lowered her head, and said, "I would never dare betray you."

"Good. Uncle Tony, let’s go back. The Scorpion Demon God is God-Devil Level. She can deal with divine souls."

Skye said impatiently. She was very worried that her Blood God would be destroyed.

"Fine."

Tony did not waste any more words. Together with Skye and the Scorpion Demon God, who had transformed into a tiny scorpion resting on Skye’s shoulder, he flew toward the spatial rift.

After emerging from the rift, Skye hurriedly looked toward the Blood God. Seeing that it was on fire and billowing smoke but had not fallen, she immediately sighed in relief.

"Let’s go. I’m going to make that damned Puppet Demon God pay."

Skye cursed through gritted teeth and rapidly flew toward the Blood God with Tony.

The Puppet Demon God, who was fighting Frank, Ivan, and Jarvis, sharply noticed Skye and the others. Its eyes narrowed. That little girl had not died and had even brought back a Dimensional Demon God? The Scorpion Demon God was not especially powerful, and if that garment were still around, the Puppet Demon God would have been confident of dealing with it. The problem was that the garment was gone. Furthermore, the Scorpion Demon God was not alone—neither Jarvis nor Skye would be easy to handle.

Unwilling to accept this, the Puppet Demon God asked the Scorpion Demon God through telepathy, "Why are you helping humans? Join me, and we can plunder vast numbers of souls together."

The Scorpion Demon God’s life and death were in Skye’s hands. How could she dare agree? She snorted coldly. "I am the guardian god of the Inhuman Empire. I will not Wallow in the Mire with you."

"Damn it."

The Puppet Demon God cursed and directly ordered the Blood God to self-destruct. Then, it opened a portal in a concealed cabin and fled.

Knowing when to advance and when to retreat was the Puppet Demon God’s greatest reliance for surviving until now.

Although Jarvis discovered the portal, there was something wrong with the Blood God, so he could only save the ship first.

Skye and Tony were too late as well. By the time they reached the Blood God, the portal had long since closed.

"Damn it, he got off easy."

Tony and Skye both cursed. They did not know that the Puppet Demon God had failed to escape, because someone was waiting for it.

The Blood God’s Projection looked at the Puppet Demon God emerging from the portal and sneered. "You bullied my disciple and still want to run? Aren’t you dreaming a little too beautifully?"

The Puppet Demon God identified Wang Bert from his aura and was greatly shocked. "You’re the one who defeated Gabriel and Michael?"

"You can die now."

Wang Bert could not be bothered to waste words. He spread his right hand, which transformed into countless blood-red chains that shot toward the Puppet Demon God.

The Puppet Demon God was alarmed and tried to flee, only to discover that space had completely frozen.

"I’ll fight you to the end."

Naturally, the Puppet Demon God would not submit to death willingly. It roared, unleashing all of its soul power. Countless Magic Arrays appeared densely across the sky, containing lightning, fire, wind, ice… every kind of element.

Then, infinite lightning, ice, fire, gale-force winds, and more merged into an Elemental Torrent that crashed toward Wang Bert with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, even space was destroyed.

This was the Puppet Demon God’s strongest killer move.

"Interesting."

Wang Bert’s expression remained completely calm. He recalled the blood-red chains, and a dazzling crimson glow lit up around him.

Then, instead of retreating, Wang Bert charged into the Elemental Torrent like a spear. He smashed his way forward, crushing everything in his path and forcibly punching through the torrent.

There were no tricks, only overwhelming strength.

The Puppet Demon God’s jaw nearly dropped. It knew Wang Bert was strong, but it had not known he was this strong.

Soon, Wang Bert reached the Magic Arrays and threw a punch. Every Magic Array shattered into points of light.

Then, Wang Bert spread his hand, and the Puppet Demon God flew toward his palm.

"I surrender! I can offer you my origin, serve you, even call you Master!"

The Puppet Demon God shouted without the slightest dignity. Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and directly collected the Puppet Demon God into his palm, suppressing it within the Blood River.

Wang Bert could turn every enemy into a puppet. Why would he keep a scheming dog around? The Puppet Demon God was finished.
