GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS
Chapter 45 - 45: The Cry for Help

England

A castle of ancient design stood at a very secret location in the western areas of England. From the archaic appearance, one can easily deduce that this building had been structured at this location for centuries. And if the building delineates ancient times, we can only reasonably assume the same for the family that owns this property.

They had existed for centuries, creating and amassing wealth from all corners of the planet.

In a spacious throne room, over ten people, each radiating auras like ten S ranks and above, stood attentively and respectfully as they seemed to be waiting for someone. Sitting on the throne hidden in the darkness, as was the person or individual sitting on it, a being of sheer size and demeanor breathed loudly, the being's breath heavy enough to reflect off the ground beneath him.

"PuNy PaThEtIc mOrTaL HuMaNs!" A loud and demonic, hoarse voice sounded as a massive wave of demonic aura swept through the throne room. The overwhelming demonic mana caused the group of thirteen humans with overwhelming auras to be pushed back from their steady stances.

The humans were all male, but all resembled someone who had lived for centuries. Their faces dried up, and their eyes were completely dark and sunken in. If one didn't know any better, one would likely assume the thirteen individuals were demonic creatures.

Suddenly, from among the thirteen people, a man of unknown age stepped forward as he approached the being on the throne.

Noticing the man, the creature in the dark scoffed and smirked, its smile frightening and dreadful, as its teeth were pitch black and within its mouth was entirely dark red. The creature leaned on its left fist as if giving the man its attention. It then spoke, but this time, in a recognizable voice, it was the voice of Damon Rothchild, the golden-haired prodigy.

"Ah, the Rothschild kid, the most ambitious of them all and the most devoted of my pawns, giving me the body of your great-great-great grandchild centuries before his existence. I'm still not over the fact that one of his clones was thrashed publicly by that unknown person, who is still a hindrance to my plans.

And now you mean to tell me the five thousand peasants you sent after him were wiped out? So, tell me, Rothschild boy, what exactly do you have to say in defense of your failed plan?"

Hearing the creature, the man, now identified as the ancient ancestor of the Rothchild family, stood calm and unreactive as he awaited permission to speak.

"SpEaK, mOrTaL," As if a completely different person, the creature spoke, its voice hoarse and demonic again.

"Demon God, we are all aware of your ultimate quest: to resurrect your soul from the captivities of the Nether Realm. -

"YoU hAvE QuItE tHe NeRvE tO sPeAk Of mY ExIsTeNcE wItHoUt AuThOrItY. ShOuLd I PErHaPs TaKe tHiS aS YoUr iNfOrMaL ReQuEsT To ErAsE yOUr eNtIrE FaMiLy?"

The demonic creature immediately interrupted the Rothschild's ancient ancestor, his words followed by another wave of demonic aura exploding in the chamber, the aura instantly blasting off the Rothschild ancestor's legs and causing him to fall on his knees.

But despite the horrific situation, the Rothschild's ancestor didn't make a fuss or hint of being angry. On the contrary, he remained kneeling as he continued his sentence, his legs making revolting sounds as they began regenerating at a steady pace, bones and all.

"Pardon my statement, Demon God, for I mean no disrespect. I had merely wanted to make the insignificant suggestion that since humans are currently being killed by unknown means, and at a global scale at that, why not have Demon God command your trillions of beasts and demons within the Gates to force Gates to overload worldwide?

I'm certain that, with your powerful might, achieving world dominance against mere mortals with some abilities wouldn't even be a matter worth thinking about. With your wisdom, I believe such plans were already within your calculation, Demon God." The Rothschild ancestor finished speaking as he bowed his head even lower, as if not wanting to offend the demon god.

"Hmm… you are indeed the most ambitious and ruthless of them all. But do you truly believe your mere four centuries' worth of insidiousness can escape my perception? Playing at my ego to help you execute your plan called 'the great reset' all while also throwing in a bone about freeing my soul from the Nether Realm or whatnot.

You truly impress me for a human, Rothschild boy. Nonetheless, fine, why not? Even though that other god is likely to intervene, her powers are too weak compared to mine. She poses little to no trouble at all.

VeRy wElL ThEn, LeT's SeE jUsT wHaT MaKeS This pLaNet So SpEcIaL!"

The Demon God spoke as his words were followed by a loud finger snap.

....

Simultaneously, at a secret location within the United States, Area 51, An old man, resembling someone in his late fifties, was busy experimenting on several corpses of some alien demonic life forms, which can be abundantly found in Gates. The man was gowned in a lab coat and safety equipment.

"Man! These S-rank demons are quite tough; even cutting through a shred of their skins alone takes a huge toll on my mana. We have been experimenting for almost a decade now, but we are still unable to split open the thoraxes of these creatures."

The old scientist grumbled in a German accent as he continued his experiment.

But while the man was busy doing his work, one of the bodies of the creatures twitched when it suddenly opened its eyes. The demonic creature's eyes were completely red.

The scientist suddenly noticed a growling noise as he paused. With him awakened, the scientist instantly and instinctively felt a nasty and overwhelming, dreadful demonic aura within the massive experimenting chamber.

Like a prey that has been caught and has lost its instinctual nature of running, the man stood in a frozen state as he side-glanced. He then slowly turned as he was met with a demonic creature standing ten- feet -tall, towering over him. Steadily raising his head up to the creature, the man trembled in horror as he dropped the blade and Iris scissors.

But before he could scream, the demon merely slashed its massive claws, cleaving the man into diagonal halves.

....

Simultaneously at another gate site, the earth began trembling as the awakened warriors at the site who were about to enter felt uneasy.

"Huh! What the hell is happening? Why is the ground shaking?!"

The warriors voiced their concerns as they executed countermeasures to escape the trembling earth. But as if the trembling earth wasn't concerning enough, the warriors witnessed as the portal shields, which usually prevent the creatures from exiting the gates, assumed numerous cracks.

Then, a demonic creature's claws stretched from within the gate as it grabbed the portal shield-like grabbing fabric and sucked it into the gate.

Seeing this scene left the onlookers with dreadful expressions as their minds ransacked countless excuses to rationalize what the fuck was currently happening, their minds doing everything but avoiding the reasonable belief that a Gate overload was about to occur.

History has given them the worst possible scenario if a gate overload ever occurs. An era of apocalypse and absolute chaos.

....

Similar scenes like this were happening all over the planet, in different regions and nations, but all facing the same crisis of gate overloads.

The world instantly descended into chaos, as within a few minutes of some Gate overloads, cities were instantly wiped out and nations were on the brink of extinction.

News stations didn't even have the privilege of reporting the news to the public, as their buildings were either destroyed before they could publish anything, or they were the ones that were dying of mysterious head explosions before the Gate overload began.

....

In the planet's atmosphere, Patrick and Athena still hovered as they watched everything below. Neither expressing any emotions of sympathy or empathy, seeing the countless nations being wiped out in seconds.

"An insignificant insect calling itself "Demon God" wants to conquer the planet in my presence; how comical," Patrick said as the void trembled, simultaneously bringing the Demon God beneath him and Athena.

The Demon God couldn't see Patrick and Athena; as to him, he was in his throne room relishing his self-boasted powers, not aware that his existence was a hair's width away from extinction if any of the couple willed it.

"Indeed, the perspective of an ignorant pebble is laughable. A mere stage-three Half-Immortal who is a foot soldier in the Nether Realm is here boasting of conquering planets with a mere snap of a finger; now that's quite peremptory." Athena said as she ordered several black holes the size of golf balls to form around the Demon God.

"Or you can also make him eat himself to death; that would be quite amusing to witness," Patrick said as a duplicated reality appeared where the Demon God was in a perpetual state of eating himself as he bellowed in utter agony. The scene was quite grotesque and revolting, as the Demon God was even vigorously munching his brain like a ravenous dog.

"OH, BEINGS OF HIGHER EXISTENCE, I SEEK THY MAGNIMINITY, PLEASE GRANT MY UNWORTHY SELF WITH THY PRESENCE!"

Suddenly, a loud, childlike voice called out of the void to Patrick and Athena. The voice sounded desperate and in agony as it cried for help.

Patrick and his wife remained indifferent and unreactive as the voice called out again.

"IF THY GRANTS ME PERMISSION, LET THY BE ABSORBED INTO MY HUMBLE DOMAIN."

The voice said this as the void opened and swallowed Patrick and Athena. Neither of the omni beings reacted in the least, allowing themselves to be drawn into the void.

....

Patrick and Athena were sucked into the void and they found themselves standing in an infinite white space. Patrick stood with his hands behind him as he stared straight into the distance as if looking at someone. Athena levitated in a sitting position with crossed legs.

"A domain made of white holes is not bad. The perfect repellant against almost anything." Patrick said, commenting about the domain made entirely of white holes, which is the opposite of black holes, which devour everything in their wake.

"THY PRAISE GRANTS ME SATISFACTION, OH HIGHER EXISTENCE!"

The child-like voice sounded again as a child-shaped person made entirely of verdant energy materialized from the white void and bowed before Patrick and Athena.

Seeing the child-like figure, the couple remained unreactive. Patrick nodded as the little girl's energy-like figure levitated and hovered mid-air.

"PLEASE MEET YE. I AM THE SOUL CORE OF EARTH 001, SEILIA. I PRESENT MYSELF TO HER MAJESTY, GODDESS ATHENA, AND THY BEING BEYOND COMPREHENSION."
