I.. Am God?

Chapter 207 Owychws



"It's impressive that you have survived their assaults for two centuries. You really are desperate to live, aren't you?"

"Two centuries?" Samyaza gasped faintly. Paimon turned around and invited Andre over. "What do you need me for?" Andre asked.

"Do you want to try killing them?" Paimon asked. Thinking for a moment, Andre nodded and walked to the four.

He first faced Sathariel, the leader of the demons. He curled up his hand into a fist and went in for a punch.

Ting!

Andre's eyebrows lifted up with shock. He was currently in his Demon Prince Form and it could be said that his raw muscle power already exceeds that of his former self by a couple thousand times. That having no effect on the body of the demon made him terrified and imagine what other monstrous beings the universe outside could have.

"My prince, that is one of the tricky parts." Behind him, Paimon laughed when he saw the stupefied look on his Prince's face, "A being frozen in time will be immune to physical attacks. Paired with their similarly monstrous durability, even being hit by a primordial star or even being thrown in the middle of it would have no effect on its body."

"Primordial star?" Andre turned his head in confusion. "It's a Neutron Star, according to human knowledge." Paimon clarified.

"That powerful?!" Andre was amazed. "Such bodies.. Their bodies would be great for crafting armor."

"Pshh.." Paimon scoffed, "Their bodies being crafted into armor is a waste." He said.

"Try again, my prince." Paimon invited him to go once more.

"Considering that they have an impossible impenetrability.." He muttered and raised his hands. Runes of all shapes and sizes, from Solomon's book and other knowledge, appeared around him.

A sliver of his consciousness separated from him and entered Sathariel's temple. Paimon's eyes widened as he looked at him, "He's brave, doing that without knowing anything." He muttered.

Andre's intention was to fight with the demon inside its consciousness. Considering that the being was unquestionably impenetrable, the only way to defeat it is by killing its soul.

When Andre's consciousness came into touch with the demon's, he suddenly had the urge to kill. His eyes turned red, his demonic form turned even more demonic, with sharp and bloody fangs starting to protrude from his gums.

Fortunately, he took the opportunity to immediately sever his consciousness from the spirit. "What was that?" He asked while panting.

"You see, Owychws are also known in hell due to an ability that they have; Terrorising bloodlust." Paimon replied, "The bloodlust within them is known to be greater than any of the demons in the Abyss. It is said that even just their bloodlust could make anyone, even gods, go mad."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner!?" Andre yelled in frustration. "It could also count as a test. Considering that you have escaped the maddening bloodlust, then your mental capabilities passed that of our standards." Paimon replied with a smile.

Andre just snorted as a reply, "I thought I was your master." He muttered. "You would." Paimon responded.

"You would have to earn it though." Paimon added before walking towards the demons, "Being our prince doesn't mean you would immediately get our respect. You would have to be powerful enough to control the domain under your hands."

"Well, enough of this chatter and please excuse me, I would now take care of this." Paimon slammed his hand on the demon's head and began to suck the demon's soul out of its body.

"I suggest you go far away, my prince." Paimon said with difficulty, "Although they're frozen in time, their bloodlust could still spread out. Knowing what it feels like to almost be consumed by it, going away should be your first priority." Andre nodded and grabbed Samyaza by the nape before jumping back, returning to the gate.

Now that Andre has gone back, Paimon proceeded to extract the soul out of the demon's body. As soon as an inch of the soul came out from it, it immediately started to release a huge amount of bloodlust aura around. To make sure that no one would be affected by it, Andre immediately erected a magic wall that prevents or even just lessens the effect of such negative energy that he learned from the library inside Solomon's book.

Speaking of which, Solomon came out from Andre and said, "That Demon Duke over there, he's leagues above us."

"Compared to your main body?" Andre asked curiously. "Definitely not." Solomon immediately shook his head.

"My main body's power is already unfettered by this universe to the point of being able to alter timelines and realities." Solomon added with pride. "Compared to him, it would take about 60 of him to even be worthy of being defeated by my main body."

"Pshh. Show-off." Andre scoffed. "Just help me with this." He said to Solomon.

"On it." Solomon nodded and immediately raised his hand, not to add power or defenses, but to improve the strength of the wall by engraving runes with the energy of the wall itself.

Time goes by, and an hour has already passed. Paimon had to carefully extract the soul out of the body without disturbing the timespace of the demons, because one little disturbance would cause them to be freed from the time freeze and result in chaos. Paimon already had half of the soul taken out, and it would take roughly about another one and a half hours for the extraction to be completed.

That time passed, and finally.. Weng!

A huge shockwave erupted as the last sliver that was connecting the soul to the body was finally severed. Paimon heaved a sigh of relief before doing the unthinkable.

He immediately opened his mouth wide open and swallowed the soul down to its last bit. "What the hell?" Andre gawked.

"Deliciously divine." Paimon muttered elegantly as he took out a towel and wiped his mouth. "What is it that you said, My prince?" He asked Andre.

"I thought you said that this Owychws has tremendous bloodlust in it that has the ability to make someone plunge deep into madness?!"

"Yes? And?" Paimon tilted his head to the side.

"Then why did you eat it, heck, in one go even?" Andre yelled angrily.

"Oh." Paimon chuckled as he continued, "If one doesn't know the twists and turns and nooks and crannies of an Owychws, then one would really be warranted to being succumbed to madness. But, if one knows how to deal with it, especially a demonic lifeform, then ingesting one could guarantee the person having an immediate climb in his or her power. It goes with different levels of power from a small goblin to even that of a Demon Lord."

"I wanted to give it to you, but considering you being 'new' to these kinds of things, I wouldn't want to risk immediately losing my newly found prince to madness." Paimon jested.

"Anyways, just give me time to absorb the Owychw soul and then I'll proceed to harvesting the others." After saying that, Paimon sat cross-legged on the ground as he directed the energy that was being erupted inside him into different parts of his body. Solomon, on the other hand, watched with them while the demon was doing what he was doing.

It took Paimon about ten minutes to do so, and he stood up after. Andre immediately noticed how Paimon's aura changed and the repressed power inside the Demon Duke surged like crazy. Andre was shocked and amazed by the degree of change in Paimon's power, and he anticipates eating one in the future.

"Now, shall I continue?" Paimon patted his clothes clean and raised his hand to continue 'harvesting souls'.

It took him a little more than five hours to harvest the other three. "You're good at this, Paimon. Do you do this every time?" Andre asked.

"Eh." Paimon shrugged, "Just when I see a being that's soul is worthy to harvest will I do this thing. And considering that Owychws are incredibly rare and powerful, I don't really expect dealing with such souls even just once a decade. We're already lucky that we've encountered an infant one, because adult ones are a pain in the ass and could also be a pain that can sever my neck." Paimon chuckled and unfroze the bodies of the demons, causing them to fall down lifelessly.

He then picked the bodies up and stored them in a small pouch on his waist that sucked the bodies that were n times larger than its size. Andre widened his eyes with what he saw, but considering that he also has a personal space that can store items, he wasn't that shocked. Paimon, after confirming that nothing was left, walked towards Andre. He extended his right palm to Andre, who became curious as to what it was. On his palm was a small teardrop-shaped bead that shone like a polished diamond.
