Chapter 1111: The Awakening (15)
Klaus wanted to use space law and his understanding of the void to shift the beams fired by the Neburian. However, before he could make a move, the doomsday cauldron appeared and enlarged, filling the space.
It opened, and a powerful suction force took hold of the beams, sucking them all in.
Everyone was stunned.
Klaus, who wasn’t expecting things, became alarmed. However, with how his brain works, he knew what had to be done.
Of course, to determine whether his thoughts would be validated, he first had to handle the gun wielders and then learn more about what this unexpected cauldron could do.
“I will be right back,” Klaus said to Queenie before taking to the sky.
A sword appeared in his hand, and when he was close to the Neburians who fired the beam, he lifted his left hand and muttered…
“Heaven’s Engine.”
A three-layered ring appeared, and at once, all 450 Neburians who fired the beam crashed from the air and slammed hard on the ground.
Klaus moved, and within seconds, 450 heads came off clean, leaving only headless bodies on the ground. As to where these heads went, nobody had the time to ask, for they were too stunned by how easy Klaus killed the Neburians.
Klaus rose to the air and spoke in a commanding yet mischievous tone…
“Although we are enemies and I will probably kill all of you, if anyone dares fire one of these cannons again, I will personally handle you.”
He smirked. “Do I make myself clear?”
Obviously, nobody minded him, but he didn’t care. After all, the people he had just killed were all domain stage warriors, every last one of them.
“I know you are strong, but I wasn’t expecting this,” Asmodeus said when Klaus landed back on the sword. Lord Trench nodded to Asmodeus’s words, and even Aloy couldn’t help nodding to that.
Klaus didn’t mind him. His focus turned to the doomsday cauldron.
It flew, shrank, and then landed on Klaus’s palm…
“So you are awake now,” Klaus asked, and a cute little male voice entered his ears.
“Yes, big brother.”
“Great. Now, can you tell me who you are and what you can do now that you are awake?” The mysteries of the doomsday cauldron are ones that even he doesn’t know. The senior was the one who made him aware of the true nature of the cauldron.
Of course, even he wasn’t sure, so now that it could talk for itself, he could only ask and hope for the best.
“I don’t have a name like humans, but I was called many years ago using the name ‘Doomsday Cauldron.’ However, I don’t know if it is a good name or not.”
Klaus smiled, happy the senior was right and that this cauldron was indeed the doomsday cauldron. However, he is now left with what it can do…
But first, he must give it a human name to humanize it…
“How about I give you a human name? Do you want that?” Klaus asked, and the cauldron was more than happy to get a name…
“Then I will call you Shen from now onwards. The owner of that name was a good friend of mine back in the day.”
“Doomsday Cauldron is Shen from now onwards.”
“Great,” Klaus smiled, and then his focus turned back to what it could do.
“What can you do?”
“Shen has a very big world in Shen’s body. Shen can then devour the bad guys and lock them away in his world. Shen can also take away their life force, but Shen doesn’t eat their bodies… nasty.
Shen can also turn his body hard and strike the bad guys with it. Shen can also create space rifts, causing the bad guys to fall and disappear forever. However, Shen is not sure if the good guys won’t fall in.
Shen can also control the gravity and make the bad guys suffer.”
“Well… damn,” Klaus smiled, feeling like he had just won the lottery.
Klaus pointed at a domain-stage Neburian and asked, “How many of them can you devour, and how weak would they become when you devour them?”
“The moment Shen devours them, they will be unable to do anything unless Shen releases them. Also, Shen can devour about 6,000 of them before Shen runs out of energy.”
“Wonderful.”
Klaus turned and looked at the domain-stage warriors emerging from the crack. An idea formed in his mind, causing him to grin…
‘This could work. Using their own men against them is the ideal way to show them what kind of danger they have stepped into.’
“One last question. If you devour me, too, would I also lose my power?”
“No. Shen can decide who loses his power and who doesn’t.”
“You’re the best, Shen,” Klaus said.
“Shen, I want you to devour 1,500 domain-stage warriors, then come and devour me. After I am done with them, you can release us and then devour 1,500 more.”
“Okay, big brother. But Shen can do that only four times.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just handle what you can and let me handle the rest.”
“Okay, big brother.”
Shen flew away, expanded to the size of a mini car, and started sucking in the Neburians and Kathorians. In fact, the mercenaries were not being spared either…
Klaus chuckled, feeling his mood lighten. ‘6,000 domain-stage warriors under my command—what then can go wrong?’
Three minutes later, the dampener Klaus was working on was complete, and he took it out and handed it to Princess Eshira. “Put it to good use.”
She nodded, holding the phone-like device in her hand. She still doesn’t understand how a forge could create technology like this.
‘I need to get my hands on their C-Class cannon, examine it, create a better schematic, and have him mass-produce it. This war, we must win at all costs.’
Her inventor class is not for fun. She had already made plans to create a powerful weapon, the kind that would shake the very foundation of an army when unleashed on a battlefield.
“What are you planning with these people?” Aloy asked, watching as Shen continued to devour the domain-stage warriors.
“You know, the usual.”
“What is the usual?” Aloy asked, and Klaus grinned. Asmodeus also looked at the Heavens Guardian and smiled.
“You will see.”
They both said the same thing, making Aloy wish he hadn’t asked…
After ten minutes of devouring, Shen had devoured enough and came back to devour Klaus.
“Asmodeus, handle the field while I am gone.”
Klaus then jumped, and he was devoured by the cauldron. The next second, he appeared in a beautiful world featuring only plants. There was not even a mountain.
However, because of its natural greenery, the place was very beautiful.
Naturally, it was only meant to be plants; however, now there were 1,500 domain-stage Kathorians, Neburians, and mercenaries.
When he appeared, hostile gazes turned toward him, causing the smile on his face to widen…
“Now, now. We wouldn’t want to start this amazing new relationship on the wrong foot, would we?” Their expressions turned even uglier…
They knew it was the end for them. However, knowing the enemy had no intention of letting them go, they all felt like dying. However, they are mere mortals who can’t do anything at all.
Of course, even in death, they would still serve their purpose.
Klaus grinned and transformed into his elf form…
