Odyssey of the Blind God
Chapter 615 Sphere Of Chaos And Destruction

Nial had a few clues why he believed the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique to be similar to the armored serpentine beast, but the reasons he had in mind were not that important.

It was more important to help the helpless serpentine beast in order to replace out more about the similarity between the beast and the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique.

After all, he could travel a vast distance with the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique. If the armored serpentine beast was just a tiny bit related to the creation of the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique, it was certainly worth replaceing out more about it. Maybe, it helped him get a few steps closer to a solution on how to travel across the Meteorfield without potentially encountering the Origin Leviathan or some other terrific existence that could tear him apart without even trying.

Following behind the Space Piranhas was not really a problem. Using the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique once he appeared in the midst of them while wielding a humongous scepter in his hand.

"Sphere of Darkness and Chaos, let's go!" Nial shouted out loudly while using the entire dark energy inside his body, reinforced by a tremendous amount of the Essence of Darkness, the Power of Chaos, and the crimson moonlight inside the black scepter. The scepter began to glow brightly as the hundreds of tiny, miniature runic constellations across the scepter's shaft and the head-sized Onyx crystal began to activate at the same time.

The entire scepter was covered by a single compound of various runic constellations. At least thirty Intermediate energy storage runic constellations had been engraved on the scepter, in the form of miniature runic constellations that were connected, overlapping, and filled to the brim.

The scepter was a Forgotten Broken Tier-3 Runic Armament that had been reinforced with the knowledge he procured from his research of the weapons and devices used by the Demihumans. Furthermore, he got the help of one of the best blacksmiths who could deal with the valuable and frail materials he brought back from the Meteorfield. These materials were highly affine toward Darkness and Destruction, which made them even more valuable for Nial.

His power could be drastically amplified as long as these materials were utilized properly, after all. Nonetheless, nobody would willingly help him create the magnificent-looking scepter if they knew that it would be turned into a one-time use time.

Of course, Nial couldn't care less about that. As long as something was of use, it didn't really matter how expensive it was. The efficiency was more important than the value of the items.

That was what lingered on Nial's mind as he unleashed the only function of the black scepter; the manifestation of the Sphere of Darkness and Chaos.

When the energy stored within the scepter was unleashed, an explosion in the midst of the Space Piranhas occurred. The event in space could only be considered catastrophic and of unparalleled magnitude, at least when looking at the things Nial had achieved until today.

It began with a sudden, intense burst of reinforced dark energy that came from the depth of the scepter. The dark energy wave rippled through the void of space, engulfing everything in its path. As it expanded with terrific speed, easily reaching every single Space Piranha, even those who were several kilometers away from Nial, it seemed like the explosion was able to tear apart the fabric of the universe itself. For a moment, it seemed that the explosion could create massive rifts and fractures in the universe.

That was even unexpected to Nial, whose memories felt as if something very familiar was happening to him. He was not sure if it were his memories or the memories of the Late God of Darkness recalled something about the fissures that emerged in front of him for a second or two, but it didn't actually matter. The fissures disappeared before he could actually focus on them.

As the explosion continued to grow, the dark energy was released in vast amounts, slowly shaping a sphere that was mostly black in color. The dark energy swirled violently, forming massive clouds that obscure the stars in their path. The clouds seemed to pulse and write, as if alive and aware.

As the explosion reached its peak, it unleashed a final, devastating burst of energy that obliterated anything it had engulfed, no matter if they were the thousand or more Space Piranhas, or the few meteorites that had been in the explosion's way.

The resulting shockwave expanded outwards, destroying several meteors and smashing the already severely injured armored serpentine beast against a planet it had been about to avoid. It was smashed into the planet and remained on the ground unmoving, unable to do anything.

After being hunted for a very long time, much longer than the beast wanted to acknowledge, it was finally out of energy. However, at the same time, its pursuers had disappeared. That meant it was fine to rest a little bit…right?

In the aftermath of the explosion, the affected area of space was left a barren wasteland, devoid of any signs of living, except Nial of course.

He was unaffected by the dark energy explosion, surrounded by empty space and remnants of dark energy that were slowly dispersing in the open space.

The one-beautiful view of the surrounding area had been reduced to nothing more than a gaping, empty void.

'I didn't even use that much of my Chaos, let alone the dark energy within the Heart of Darkness…and that's the result?' Nial asked himself rhetorically. He knew damn well that his experimental Runic Armament had resulted in a success, a great success at that!

Unfortunately, none of the Space Piranhas left behind their valuable bodies. That meant, the Sphere of Chaos and Destruction destroyed everything in its way, literally. It also indicated that the scepter was not a product that was supposed to make up its cost with the destruction it caused but that it was merely a means of destruction.

But that was its whole purpose, in the first place.

As for now, Nial was mostly focused on the armored serpentine beast that was resting on the ground, bleeding like a pig that had been pierced a few times too often.

'What am I doing with you now?'
