The Witch Hunter System
chapter-719

Great Ratholos Empire, Imperial Capital

As Vaan hunted high-ranking vampires with noble and royal bloodlines, he reaffirmed how strong he had become. At his level, everyone below Rank 6 Divine Being was simply ants in front of the power of his laws.

As for those at Rank 6 Divine Being?

Well, he had yet to put his strength to the test against such beings. Even so, he wasn't blind enough to just charge into Gehenna to look for one and challenge them.

The heavenly tribulation wasn't to be underestimated.

After all, it had killed his past reincarnations so many times. That said, Vaan also couldn't help but feel that the heavenly tribulations would no longer threaten him like they did in the past.

His talent was from the fourth-dimensional world, something that was beyond the heavens.

Thus, what right did the heavens have to judge him?

Nevertheless, his tribulation was coming. The Great Devil Abaddon also intended to descend. It was impossible that the two were unrelated.

However, ordinary Rank 6 Divine Beings shouldn't be a threat to him either. Thus, Great Devil Abaddon must be truly powerful—at the very least, he should be stronger than Pangea's current understanding.

As such, in order to prepare for the worst, he had to assume Great Devil Abaddon was a Rank 7 Divine Being instead of a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being.

That way, he wouldn't be caught off guard if the information turned out to be inaccurate.

Vaan hunted down no more than forty members from Abaddon's Night Parade within the past three hours. Moreover, they were among the top half of the hundred rankings.

The remaining members were either engaged in battle or fleeing back to Gehenna.

In other words, the threat posed by the vampires had been reduced to a controllable level. Vaan took that chance to study the crimson light domain, searching for a method to cut the connection between Gehenna and Pangea.

However, he soon realized he did not have the power to undo the connection; the crimson light domain was just like the dimensional crack in the north of the seven witch kingdoms – his Nihility Law could not break the connection.

Instead, the Nihility Law accelerated the crimson light domain's expansion.

After further observation and study, Vaan finally understood the situation – the crimson light domain was no different from the dimensional crack and should be treated as such.

In other words, the crimson light domain's expansion was a permanent, irreversible process.

Trying to undo it was the same as trying to overpower the law of an Origin Creator.

Furthermore, it wasn't just any Origin Creator but the Prime Originator, the first and most powerful Origin Creator in the history of Chaos, the Allfather of Chaos, father of the Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies and the Lord of Chaos.

Although such an almighty being seemed to have disappeared, the Prime Originator's laws continued to govern Chaos. At the same time, they were supervised by the current Lord of Chaos.

'The Prime Originator founded Chaos to preserve the life of every dying chaosverse. Thus, the Prime Originator must have created laws to prevent the destruction of worlds during the assimilation process,' Vaan mused.

An entire chaosverse was infinitely vast and boundless.

To move such a large celestial body into Chaos, the clashes between planets and stars here and there would be unavoidable.

In normal cases, such cosmic clashes would result in the destruction of the smaller celestial body or even both simultaneously. However, such an event did not happen to Pangea and Gehenna. Instead, the two worlds were superimposing to become a single greater world.

This was definitely under the power and influence of the Prime Originator's founding laws.

'To think Great Devil Abaddon found a way to speed up this fusion process,' Vaan thought.

However, he didn't think Great Devil Abaddon's divine power was so great that he could control the laws of an Origin Creator. Instead, he would rather believe Great Devil Abaddon used a loophole in the laws to hasten the process.

'Did the huge, instant loss of lives trigger the Prime Originator's laws to preserve life and, thus, result in the hastened fusion?' Vaan guessed.

Whatever the case was, it would not change the fact that the vampires would continue to threaten the Great Ratholos Empire for a long time. The war against Gehenna had begun and wouldn't end any time soon.

'If other Great Devils used this connection point to invade Pangea, it'd be difficult for Pangea to resist…' Vaan frowned, and wouldn't end any time soon.

'If other Great Devils used this connection point to invade immediately realizing the problem.

However, the heavens wouldn't cut off all paths to life; there had to be a way to overcome the situation.

After a moment, Vaan shifted his attention to the Vampiric Demon Bats.

Although he had awakened the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura, he had not tested the extent of its power.

As Vaan released his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura, countless Vampiric Demon Bats gave up preying on humans and flocked towards him. Within mere moments, several hundred thousand black bats had already gathered around him, and their numbers were still soaring.

They were only lesser creatures of darkness and positioned at the bottom of the vampirical hierarchy. However, their incredible numbers made them a force that couldn't be ignored.

The black bats flapped their wings and circled Vaan in laps with excitement and curiosity, kicking a great storm that looked no different from a black tornado.

The chaotic winds pulled and pushed everything around them.

At the same time, the dragons and wyverns subconsciously wanted to abandon their battles and fly over right away, as if they were answering a summoning. It was part of their instincts.

However, their intelligence allowed them to resist the sudden attraction. Only weak wyverns and wild birds of lesser intelligence followed the force of attraction.

Nevertheless, as multiple other flying species joined the black tornado formation, there was an unreal sense of harmony and coordination. They did not conflict with each other, regardless of whether they were sky predators or prey.

"What's going on over there? What kind of situation is that? I've never seen such a bizarre sight before."

"Me neither. I'm sure something like this has never happened in history. Just how are these sky creatures all getting along?"

Astonishment quickly spread throughout the chaotic city as an increasing number of people noticed the unnatural phenomenon in the sky.
