MC POV

After I managed to sever the abomination's tail and infect it with the Ruination, which was now wreaking havoc in its body, essentially destroying it from the inside, which was just playing into my cards.

Technically speaking, if not for the Arcane Crest that I managed to create, the Imperial of End and Ruin, there would be no way that I would be capable of controlling even the smallest bits of the Ruination Energy.

Not like I would dare to do so because even controlling the Ruination without proper precautions was essentially suicidal thoughts.

I heard about mighty Tier 13 experts and even some Tier 14 that were killed by it because they were not careful enough.

I could sense that soon after I managed to wound the creature grievously, Hela was attempting to send me a message through telepathy, as I felt my mental shields being tickled a bit before I allowed the message to pass.

'I have ordered the fleet to retreat as far as possible from the Great Serpent you are fighting in case it decides to self-destruct.'

The Great Serpent was indeed a fitting name for the creature, but the second part of the message was highly disturbing because it was talking about self-destructing, which would be disastrous for the entire Astral Boundary Universe and our forces.

Not only the damage it would cause, but there was another aspect.

The second this creature decided to self-explode, then that strong explosion would lure here the Hivemind, which was currently playing around with the remnants of the Divine Star Region, before it would turn its attention elsewhere.

Not wanting to experience such an outcome, I summoned my Arcane Crest once more; this time, I was using the other aspect of the Arcane Crest Imperial of End and Ruin, the aspect of the End, which was based on my Path.

In a split of a second, an enormous wave of the End rushed out from the Arcane Crest, directly at the Great Serpent, which already struggled a lot with the Ruination, which was decomposing and destroying its body from the inside.

[Tremendous amount of pure energy has been devoured through the usage of the End from the Arcane Crest Imperial of End and Ruin.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,5.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,2.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,3.]

Just from using The End aspect of my Arcane Crest on the struggling Great Serpent, I managed to increase my Demonic-God Force coefficient by 1,2 raising it from the previous 2,3 to the current 3,5 and there were no signs of stopping.

With this coefficient, it meant that my energy reserves were 3,5 times of that of an average peak Tier 12 expert, which was terrifying on its own.

Normally the Tier 12 were powerful enough to destroy even Grade 1 Plane if they went all out, and destroying the Grade 1 Plane was a feat on its own.

Not only because its size was technically comparable to the Universe of my past life, but it also had some sort of protective regeneration barrier around it, which made it even harder to destroy.

What was surprising was that even my Control over the Laws themselves was evolving with the process of Devouring the Great Serpent.

While the Ruination was spreading through the entire body of the Great Serpent, as I controlled it partially, but it was better than nothing because I was directing the Ruination at the brain of the abomination.

That way, I would be able to kill the creature as soon as possible before it could detonate itself, and at the same time, I was continuously using Arcane Crest to Devour as much existence of the Great Serpent as possible.

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

[The Demonic-God Force has been increased by 0,1.]

Once again, my Demonic-God Force has increased, this time already reaching the number of 4,0. However, the most significant thing that happened was that I subconsciously increased my Control over the Law of Devour into the Origin Control.

Getting the Origin Control of the Law was something that was widely considered much harder than ascending into Tier 13 because that one was mainly a matter of luck.

Even though there were some aspects like talent and hard work in increasing the Control over the Laws, many experts would say that luck was the essential aspect of the entire equation.

Also, this continuous Devouring had some effect on my Godhood as I felt that the contracts on it were getting weaker and weaker and that I was very close in reaching the Annuled State.

Meaning the moment I reached Annuled, I could start forging the path toward Tier 13 and then even further.

Becoming a real powerhouse on the chessboard of the Endless Void.

But before that, I had a snake to eat.

The Great Serpent apparently noticed that I was coordinating the attacks purposely, as it decided that it would take me down together with it.

Something that was not acceptable, so I used the second aspect of my Arcane Crest and injected even more Ruination into its struggling body before I started unleashing The End as much as I could.

After several seconds I coughed a mouthful of blood because this had been taking a heavy strain on me.

Overusing the Arcane Crest could typically lead to severe consequences, but right now, it was the least of my concerns.

'Architect, the amount of devoured energy is too high; redirect 50% of it towards the Planar Core of the Baator.'

I commanded Architect because right now, as I increased the tempo of the Devouring, I was oversaturated with the energy I got from the Great Serpent.

I was not keeping up with it, considering that my assimilation tempo was much slower than the devouring tempo.
