The Walker Of Voids
chapter-151

The power within the Terraign suddenly shifted as Cthulhu found himself facing against a creature at the same level of strength as him.

The World of Darkness seemed to pulse with malevolent energy.

The air crackled with bright blue lightning, and the ground beneath them trembled as Noah shot forward with so much speed that even Benjamin was struggling to see him.

In an action filled with panic, Cthulhu shot a beam of darkness toward Noah, however, despite his powers having grown, Noah's powers were far stronger than before.

Currently, Noah was strongest than Benjamin, and his commandment was higher too. If he were to take into account the fact that he had the blessing of a legendary figure like Zues, it would be fair to say that Cthulhu wouldn't have stood a chance if not for the Terraign holding him together and allowing him to hold out against the like of Ruben, who was by far the strongest person on the planet.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, Noah was right in front of Cthulhu and had slashed at him, creating a bolt of lightning so powerful that it made the enormous Cthulhu slide back a couple dozen meters.

The realm itself seemed to react to the clash of powers, almost as if it were sentient, trying to quell the upheaval caused by their battle.

Noah's body was enveloped in a radiant aura of dazzling lightning. Bolts of electricity danced across his skin, illuminating the darkness around him and creating an eerie yet majestic spectacle. His movements were lightning-fast, almost too quick for the eye to follow, as he deftly dodged Cthulhu's massive attacks and countered with his own lightning-infused strikes.

Though strengthened by the World of Darkness, Cthulhu was fighting a battle that would eventually go in his favor as long as it was only Noah he had to worry about.

In a way, Cthulhu already understood that he would die. There was no way in hell that he would reach the same power he had all those years ago before he was defeated by unity. Despite being quite old, Ruben was the one he was most scared of...

However, what he was actually afraid of most wasn't a person, but a flame that burned within his chest and threatened to turn him to a crisp.

But for now, that didn't matter. His goal was to hold them off until his plan succeeded; right now, he could already feel it happening far away from where he was currently standing.

"He's stalling..." Noah muttered to himself when he realized that Cthulhu wasn't using his full strength. Someone who was desperate would throw everything at them, even if it meant that his own men would die in the process, but Cthulhu wasn't doing that.

And right now, even though it might not have seemed like it, Cthulhu's stalling nature began making things much harder on Noah.

The moment he had unknowingly accepted the blessing, he felt his body being assaulted by the lighting.

The runes all over him from his lighting-tempered body were beginning to shine in their full glory, trying to stop the damage Zues' lighting was causing to Noah's body. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, it felt like something was making it nearly impossible for them to entirely ward off the blessing's damage.

At the same time, Cthulhu's immense size and otherworldly strength made him a daunting adversary, and his dark energy seemed to warp reality around him. Every time his wounds healed, the realm seemed to shudder with an ominous aura, signifying the dangerous dance they were in.

Noah's blade gleamed with electric arcs as he lunged forward, slashing through the darkness with unmatched precision.

Cthulhu roared in agony as the lightning-infused blade cut into his flesh, causing even the World of Darkness to shiver in response.

The wound was immense, but Cthulhu's regenerative abilities were relentless. With each moment, his power seemed to surge, making the situation even more dire for Noah and the others.

Meanwhile, Benjamin and Ruben were working together, combining their strength to defend against the unending horde of undead creatures that Cthulhu's realm continued to produce. Despite their own weakened states due to the oppressive World of Darkness, they fought valiantly, making use of their commandment abilities to hold the line and buy Noah precious time.

Since Noah's blessed self wasn't affected by the Terraign, they were in, Noah was a lot more powerful than Benjamin.

Even Ruben, who was so much stronger than Noah before the Terraign, was now only a little stronger than Noah.

However, seeing that Noah was doing fine right now, Ruben stepped back and decided to help against the hordes of oncoming monsters. Despite the entire galaxy being at stake if they failed this mission, Ruben's only care was for his master.

Olivia, who had frozen the undead earlier with her Absolute Zero ability, was now focused on maintaining her protective ice barrier around the remaining soldiers and instructors.

The barrier was their last line of defense against the relentless onslaught of the undead. She knew that the soldiers' best hope lay in finding a way to escape this realm before Cthulhu grew too powerful to stop.

Back to the intense confrontation between Noah and Cthulhu, the heavens themselves seemed to quiver with anticipation as Noah gathered an immense amount of Zeus' power.

With a resolute look in his eyes, Noah unleashed a powerful lightning blast so colossal that it illuminated the entire realm in a brilliant display of raw energy.

The bolt struck Cthulhu squarely, causing the gargantuan creature to howl in pain. The dark energy around him wavered and faltered for a brief moment. Seizing the opportunity, Noah pressed forward, slashing and striking with unprecedented ferocity, attempting to find a weak spot in Cthulhu's defenses.

However, the World of Darkness was relentless in its suppression, and Noah could feel its oppressive force starting to take a toll on him, even with Zeus' blessing protecting him. His movements were slightly slower, and his lightning seemed to flicker with uncertainty. Cthulhu, sensing his advantage, roared with renewed vigor, lashing out at Noah with deadly precision.

"Fuck... RUBEN! I NEED YOU'RE HELP! NOW!" Noah roared, yet Ruben was too busy protecting his master from the undying creatures that didn't seem to grow any weaker no matter how many times they died.

Actually, it looked like they were slowly gaining strength... No... That wasn't the right word...

It seemed like they were gaining experience every time they died, because, after their deaths, they would quickly reanimate and become much harder to kill the same way.

Plus, with their hivemind in full strength, these experiences were shared throughout the entire colony, making them much harder to kill every as a group rather than just one or two of them improving at that rate.

'This realm seems to be infinite in nature... The only thing that's not infinite is the sky above us and the ground below, since that's where the true domain ends.' Noah looked back at his wife, who was fighting for her life to keep the monsters back for as long as possible.

'If I push this thing away from here, I'll probably be able to use the full strength of this blessing without having to worry about hurting the others here...' Noah thought to himself before looking at Cthulhu with a slight grin.

Tightening his grip around the Katana, he was holding, suddenly, lightning shot down from the skies, shooting through the Terraign itself and striking Noah.

His body was now instantly covered in blue crackling armor filled withing lightning energy that seemed to have come from Zeus himself.

And then, Noah flickered for a moment, and before Cthulhu could even react to what was about to happen, he felt himself get shrouded in lightning before he eventually disappeared from where he was standing and quickly appeared several miles away in an instant.

"Wha-" Cthulhu's eyes widened as a bearded figure descended from the sky. The figure was illusory and almost as large as Cthulhu himself, having the size to be able to look over entire mountains without even trying.

'Oh no... Is that-'

[Zeus' lightning]

[Olymus Bolt]

And just like that, Cthulhu's vision was blinded by a bright light before an enormous explosion occurred, erasing the ground, sky and sending cracks throughout the entire Terraign.
