Void Evolution System

That beast, it had a name, and it had a species name as well. Damien had been calling it the dark beast because he didn't really know what it was. It didn't exist in his cosmos, after all.

If he wanted to know what it was, he needed to draw it out and read its existence.

That would have been nice and all, and knowledge about another cosmos was always something interesting, but it could all be pushed back for later.

The dark beast had much more intuitive uses for now.

Damien drew the Existence barrier out, but the dark beast didn't understand what was happening.

In its eyes, it was experiencing something unimaginable.

Somehow, out of nowhere, it had been assaulted and promptly plucked out of the sky, only to be placed in a white room with no bounds.

Time didn't pass in this place. It felt like it was living its life normally just a moment ago, but more than enough time had elapsed for it to ruminate over what happened and try to find a way out.

Naturally, its attempts were unsuccessful, but that was beside the point.

The dark beast was enraged. It was a great being that none dared to offend, something like that cosmos' First Primal Sovereign.

So how would that being react when the white room faded, giving way for a place it had never seen before?

Naturally, it went berserk.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The second the Existence barrier was removed, the dark beast returned to its original size.

Damien teleported very, very far away. Not just to avoid being crushed, but also to avoid being recognized.

The planet they were currently on didn't have a name. Almost nothing in the Sacred Abyss Universe was named. It was the Dark God's way of forcing conformity, making bleakness the norm.

Damien didn't understand why the Dark God treated his cosmos like this. He would definitely benefit more if he properly nourished it.

But that was beside the point.

This planet was huge, as mentioned several times before. The dark beast was planetary, easily three times the size of Earth, but it wasn't anywhere near large enough to dwarf this place.

Rather, it fit within this world's atmosphere. It was massive, sure, but it looked more like the size of a mountain than the size of a planet.

Still, that didn't change how powerful that being was.

And that didn't change its rage.

The dark beast opened its eyes as it adapted to the atmosphere and laws of this new plane. For a moment, it felt excitement at the confirmed discovery of alternate cosmos, and on the other hand…

'Life.'

There was a living being in front of it, and a dying being trapped in a swarm of light to its side. There were countless mortals all across the surface of this world, and as it saw the sky and the vast expanse of stars there, it became excited for the possibilities this new cosmos held.

However, it didn't focus on those possibilities. These kinds of rational thoughts only lasted for a single moment.

Wasn't it said before?

When the beast saw light again, naturally, it went berserk.

It didn't totally understand what was happening, but if it had just been released, then one of the two beings in the vicinity had to be the culprit behind its evident kidnapping.

And it was hard-pressed to believe that the one who was currently half dead was able to capture it.

Its attention focused on Grand Duke Klaus, who wasn't quite sure of what Damien had done.

'It must be a summon.'

He was familiar with Claire's power, so he assumed that her son had followed in her footsteps and created something similar.

That was the mentality he approached this battle with, leaving him none the wiser.

It wasn't wrong to compare the dark beast to Claire's summons. If it had to be put side-by-side with them…

…maybe it could take down the dragon and the tiger?

The beast had to be considerable if it wanted to possess Claire.

It was just that it didn't have a chance to show its power yet.

All of the built up animosity it had was released at once, and the onslaught that was originally meant for Damien was released onto the forces of the Sacred Abyss.

BOOOOOOOOM!

The beast was shaped like a turtle. It moved its gigantic leg just once, and it created a tsunami of earth that destroyed over a million kilometers of land.

Grand Duke Klaus was caught by the air pressure and thrown backward. He summoned his malakh, stabilizing his body.

He was a physical fighter, so compared to others, he had a far easier time withstanding such an attack.

The dark beast glared down at him with its huge eyes. It registered the energy coming off of him as something different from its own, and…

VOOM!

The strange energy it contained, which was similar to chaos in many ways, changed and morphed.

It wasn't being transmuted. It was imitating its surroundings, blending in to the point where even the Sacred Abyss Universe's Heavenly Order couldn't distinguish it from what naturally existed.

Only then could its full aura be felt.

It was still being suppressed by the world before that, after all.

The second the dark beast regained its full strength, it went on the attack.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Massive tendrils extended from the surface of its shell, like massive tree roots that chased their targets to oblivion.

At the same time, massive hexagonal swatches of land ripped off in chunks and threw themselves at the Grand Duke.

Klaus was immediately met with physical attacks to combat his physical attacks.

Both him and the beast could use other means to fight, sure, but this kind of combat was where they felt the most comfortable and where they could kill the easiest.

BOOOOOM!

The dark beast took another step, digging the ground for several million kilometers another several thousand kilometers deeper.

This area, compared to everything around it, was already a gaping chasm, a new natural wonder.

BANG!

The roots that chased him were difficult enough to block. Klaus used his fists to slam them away one by one, and while he was fully capable of deflecting them, the hexagonal disks were different.

Not only were they as heavy as continents, they were infused with chaotic energy that messed with the flow of Klaus' malakh.

Grand Duke Klaus slammed into a wall of the chasm, gritting his teeth as he pushed off of it and shot back towards the beast.

It was able to keep him away, so it was able to corner him, but pushing him into a wall was the wrong move.

Now that everything was in front of him, he could see the path.

One step took him off the wall, and the next bounced him off of a hexagonal disk and propelled him towards the beast.

His every step was calculated, and the enemy's attacks suddenly became cards for him to use to his advantage.

Before long, he was in its face, staring into its eyes that resembled moons.

Grand Duke Klaus raised his fist and pulled it back. He infused it with a gargantuan amount of energy, and…
