I created my own system

"Did I really kill him?" That question repeated inside his head when all he could see was a pile of dust and an abandoned weapon on the ground.

[Creator]

"Yes?"

[You didn't kill him but you destroyed his body]

"Explain" he commanded while the artifact Nero used was sealed inside the inventory.

[Nero couldn't handle your skill and immediately succumbed to it without even fighting back. It seems he doesn't know what attacked him, which is why he wasn't able to respond. However, when his body was consumed by the skill I didn't detect his soul, it wasn't in his body or even went to the cycle]

"Were you able to trace where his soul went?"

[I did]

"Good, give it to me"

Then he threw another attack and immediately pulverized the magical beast named Nepheline.

"Hmmm?"

The soul of the magical wolf disappears as if something actually swallowed it.

"Jeremiah"

[It went the same way as Nero's soul]

"Why are those insects so hard to kill?" the boy whines while holding the back of his head.

[I think it's best to destroy them now; I just received some more detailed reports from the spies we sent to the enemy's side. The disturbance you made caused some bases to be abandoned while the members fled]

"I see, well we should probably use that info to tip the archduke, I am certain he would make a move immediately"

[I will prepare the materials and send it right away]

"Now we should continue our little chase"

He teleported yet again, but this time, he found himself right in the middle of hundreds of celestial-rank wolf beasts.

[Her pack is here]

However, in the midst of these, a familiar mana immediately attracted Apollo's attention.

"Hmm... The wolf from the island is also here"

The ivory wolf, strangely to Apollo's surprise that she-wolf was already at the celestial level. It was a speed that even Apollo took some time to achieve, and it was with the help of the system.

"This is a very interesting anomaly," he said faintly as he summoned the very power that scared the wits out of the self-proclaimed gods.

"Jeremiah use the authority of time, I want time to flow slowly"

[I will Creator]

Black, deadly smoke emerged from his body and quickly corrupted the surroundings; the weaker wolves began to die one by one until the upper-rank wolves remained.

"Quite strong." he then flicked his finger, and the skill Disintegrate activated and killed every single wolf.

"Sigh, in the end, I still have no idea what her grudge is against me," Apollo said as he walked past the ivory wolf's decaying corpse.

"Jeremiah, let the time flow normally again"

[I will do as you say, Creator]

Time only went for a second, and suddenly, the army of predators disappeared and was replaced by dust.

"Where is that wolf and that bastard"

[They teleported again, and it seems they used an artifact to hide themselves but don't worry the authorities help me locate them]

"Good, we are good to go"

The demon's figure disappeared and landed on an unknown land.

"Now, where are we?" he said to himself while walking along the barren land.

[Please head straight to the canyon, Nero and the wolf are together, they are fleeing with more members of the church]

"They really create scattered bases for this damn church, now I don't even know if the record we have is all the remaining ones"

[Do you have any plans then]

"Sigh, I'll think about it later for now I will deal with Nero"

A sword manifested in his hand, followed by a gust of magic that scanned the enemies he had to face; then he disappeared to face the people he needed to eliminate.

Without any warning, he appeared in the darkness and gave a pressure that made their bodies feel heavy with each passing second. An oppressor has arrived, dulling their senses, and their thinking before the fight even began.

"Finally found you, Nero"

His voice was cold and very chilling, though the deadly atmosphere varnishes when Nero drew his sword and blocked the surprise attack of Apollo.

"Wake up everyone!" He shouted waking the other powerful magical beasts with him.

[Creator I would recommend deploying more of yourself here, the opponents here are more powerful than the ones you are currently handling in Delvira]

"We can't, I am outnumbered, 500 overpowered magical beasts with godlike powers, at least be merciful my mechanical golems are already being repeatedly destroyed as we speak"

[Then how do you plan to kill these 20 enemies which also fall on the overly powerful enemies you described a while ago]

"That is simple, I have doomsday with me"

[They are immune to heat and explosion]

"Ice?"

[Just use an authority, these 20 are very much immune to elements and Nero is on par with you when it comes to sword fighting]

"Then I will use Disintegrate"

Apollo activated the skill, and immediately, a blue halo emerged and absorbed the attack. Find exclusive stories on empire

"What the!?"

[They have skills the same way as you do; mind you, Creator, their skills are actually the bane of yours; they also have a lightning element that can bypass your defense; you are a demon, after all; that element is your weakness. As for Light of Aegis one of the beasts here can manipulate the surrounding mana so that skill is disabled]

"You are just saying these now?"

[I did tell you to ask for backup, right?]

Jeremiah's sarcasm is making Apollo annoyed, though he knows he was right, but that just made him more annoyed. However, indeed, his hands were already tied; he was too outnumbered.

"Ah, right numbers"

He mumbles as he takes the chance to recast the spell Clonis and create a massive army of him.

"Now let's see who is outnumbered"

Nero was suddenly taken aback as soon as a spell was cast without being canceled by one of his allies.

However, he wasn't particularly worried.

"Azur do it"

With his instructions, one of the people beside him took a mirror and reflected them; just like that, the numbers were down to 20 against one.

"How creative, Jeremiah. You can cancel that skill, right?"

[Yes I can]

"Proceed to cancel the skill"

In the blink of an eye, the reflective skill was neutralized, and the mirror broke into pieces. Apollo followed that with a spell that was immediately broken with Nero's sword attack.

"Damn it, that spell just now. Does this mean this thing is a master caster," Nero thinks so as he closes the distance to keep Apollo from casting any more spells. However, as he gets closer, a fortified spell clashes with his aura.

"What this?" It was a spell he had never seen before, and before he knew it, his body had already crashed into the ground. He was a bit confused about why it happened.

As soon as Nero hits the ground, the magical beast that calls themselves gods assumes their true form. The Grand Canyon was attacked by twenty ferocious energy. And this turns the beautiful canyons into a wasteland covered in raging flames and burning wind. Nero's side is outnumbered; however, it doesn't last long, with backup landing on their side.

"They sure have plenty of members to join the party"

[Indeed, you haven't killed even half of them]

"Well, how many powerful enemies do I have right now?"

[If we add the ones you are fighting against in Delvira, in total that would be 1500]

"And how many am I right now?"

[500, with two not participating in the battle at the moment]

"Yes, so please give me some time to eliminate them, okay?"

[Yes Creator I will just wait for your orders]

Back to the battle, nineteen magical beasts and a single human, Nero, formed a tight circle around Apollo. Their master, Nero wielded a sword and cloaked himself in a mantle of shifting chaotic energy. Despite his falling to the ground, he merely stood behind the beasts, acting as if he were the person in control.

[That sword Creator has Nirvana's flesh] warned by Jeremiah, though Apollo already noticed when he first used his spell against him.

"Don't worry my new arsenal can handle him.

The beasts roared in unison, and the battle began.

The first wave of magical beasts charged, their spells lighting up the battlefield. Fireballs, ice shards, and lightning bolts rained down on Apollo, forcing him to cast a spell.

[Creator Nero's sword can absorb spells, you must change your move]

Apollo pays heed to his words and instead mimics a technique he got from a certain someone.

It was a type of technique that creates a strong pressure similar to gravity. Apollo's counter distorted the space, pulling all the incoming attacks to a certain point, where they collided in an explosive detonation.

However, three beasts broke through unscathed. A massive lava hound snarled, its molten body immune to Apollo's Gravity technique, as the intense heat disrupted the gravity. Beside it, a crystalline dragon stomped forward, its humongous body impervious to magic entirely. Finally, a shadow panther flickered in and out of visibility, dodging Apollo's area-of-effect spells with ease.

Apollo frowned, finally recalling Jeremiah's warning about the immune beast.

"Now how should I handle these pests"

He ponders as he sends some bombs to prompt the immunity of the rest of them.

"Let's see, my new arsenal of spells has something for these beasts," he thought so as he began analyzing what spell was appropriate to use.
