Chapter 471: Nexus Angels

The Emperors and the noble family heads had finally reached their breaking point. They began speaking up, their voices laced with panic and condemnation.

“That is enough, Arclight family! Just because your son has miraculously become a Saint does not mean he can do whatever he wants. This is not the backwater Milky Way Galaxy!”

“That is right. Apologize to the Dragon Monarch immediately. If you lower your head, he might just spare your life considering your status as a Saint, kid,” another Emperor chimed in desperately.

“A tiny bit of talent and suddenly the Arclights think they have grown wings. Lower your head and apologize to the Dragon Monarch! Do you plan on dooming the entire Human Alliance over your foolish pride?”

Every single gaze in the stadium turned toward Grey and the Arclight family, filled with heavy disapproval and fear.

High up in the atmosphere, the Dragon Monarch, now joined by his elite elders, stared down at the pathetic banter with a cold sneer masking his boiling fury. He, the supreme ruler of the dragons, was being blatantly disrespected by a mere kid who was not even eighteen years old. Just because the boy somehow tamed a 7th Rank beast, he actually thought he was invincible.

“This farce ends here. If everyone in this stadium dies today, you have only this arrogant brat to blame,” the Dragon Monarch declared, his voice freezing the very air.

The instant those words echoed, a sickening dread settled into the stomachs of every spectator. It was the primal instinct of impending death!

And that terrifying premonition was not wrong. In the next moment, the brightly lit starry sky tore open. Countless spatial fissures formed in the void. From the cracks, menacingly huge, ancient dragons poured out.

One hundred. One thousand. Ten thousand!

A massive armada of dragons blotted out the stars, and the vast majority of them radiated the suffocating pressure of the 5th and 6th Ranks.

The Grand Arbiter, the Emperors, the Duke heads, the sect leaders, and the billions of spectators instantly went pale.

“How is this possible? Dragon Monarch, we beg you to stop! Why have you summoned the grand dragon army?!”

“It is over,” Anderson whispered, looking up at the sky with a horrified expression. “The dragons… they are here.”

The dragons always moved as an unstoppable pack. When faced with a threat, they united completely for the sake of their prideful race. Now that someone had blatantly disrespected their entire clan, they would not stand still. An entire cosmic army was about to gang up on one singular human teenager.

Angela was shaking uncontrollably, her face drained of all color.

Seeing his mother’s terror, Grey sighed softly. He gestured at the Beast of Finality, which gave a slow, respectful nod. In the following instant, a gentle energy washed over Angela, and she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Grey glanced at Anderson. “Take care of Mom.”

As soon as he said those words, his glowing eyes swept across the Emperors who had been shouting at him just moments ago. The instant his crushing gaze fell upon them, they all immediately averted their eyes in fear. The Dragon Monarch might have the power to threaten him, but these cowardly rulers certainly did not.

Then, his figure flickered and glitched out of reality. In the next millisecond, he reappeared high up in the cold starry sky, directly facing the massive dragon armada.

“As I have said before, I am not afraid to beat up a bunch of overgrown lizards,” Grey laughed loudly, his voice booming across the void. “Where are Melissa and Wang Lin? I will ask you one final time. If you do not give me a clear answer, the Dragon Clan is as good as dead.”

“Have you gone completely insane, you pathetic rat?!” the Dragon Monarch’s face twisted in pure rage. “Do you not see the grand army behind me? YOU ARE DONE! I will kill you, your entire family, and every last trace of your bloodline! Then, I will personally torture Wang Lin and Melissa just for your sake!”

He sneered, revealing his sharp fangs. “Melissa betrayed the Dragon Clan, and Wang Lin is her filthy partner in crime. We have them rotting in custody, and not even the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance will be able to save them!”

Just then, a freezing voice rang out in the void. Directly in front of Grey, Alissa miraculously teleported into the fray.

“Then you will have to kill me first,” Alissa declared, her eyes like shards of ice. Her heart dripped with deep sorrow and burning anger after hearing the Patriarch’s cruel remarks about her family.

The Dragon Monarch’s expression darkened. “You. What is your intention here? Just because you awakened as a True Dragon does not mean you can do whatever you want! Do you understand me? You are nothing but a dirty mongrel tainted with a human bloodline.”

The Dragon Monarch was finally showing his true, repulsive colors.

Grey just sighed. “Hey, you know, things are not really that bad.”

He shook his head, stepped closer to Alissa, and casually patted her on the head. The sudden affection struck her straight into a panic.

“Y-You! Everyone across the starry sky is watching us right now!” Alissa stammered, her cheeks flushing red with deep embarrassment.

“You are embarrassed over a simple head pat, but not about the dramatic words you just shouted a second ago?” Grey asked, completely speechless.

He then lifted his hand and presented it to her. “Come on, hold on tight. Today, we are going to take back Richard and his wife.”

Alissa looked at Grey with wide eyes, not knowing exactly what he was plotting. But reluctantly, she reached out and grasped his hand. She did not know why, but she desperately wanted to hold onto him. His presence felt stronger and more dependable than anything else in this chaotic universe.

The instant she locked her fingers with his, Grey grinned. He slowly shifted his gaze back to the Dragon Monarch and the terrifying armada of dragons blanketing the sky.

“You just called her a mongrel with a human bloodline, right?” Grey chuckled, the sound devoid of all warmth. “What about you, pig? Your own bloodline is even more diluted than hers.”

“But, for now, it is time to end all the useless talking.”

Pure Nexus energy erupted from Grey’s core like a cosmic tidal wave. He exchanged a knowing glance with the Beast of Finality. In the following instant, an ocean of supreme conceptual power poured directly into Grey’s soul.

Boom!

A terrifying, supreme will descended upon the Origin Planet and the endless space surrounding it. For a split second, Grey’s skin glowed with the intricate, glowing circuits of the Nexus Overclock. He was finally unleashing his powers in full, unrestricted motion.

In the next moment, a hellish, soul-grinding screech echoed throughout the entire cold expanse of the starry sky.

SCREEEEEE-KH-KH-KH! SCREEEEEE-KH-KH-KH!

“What is this?!” The ruling Emperors down on the planet unexpectedly began to shiver in uncontrollable fright.

Anderson felt his pupils constrict in pure dread as he stared up at the sky. “This kid… what exactly is he?”

Across the dark void, thousands of hellish portals shattered the very fabric of space-time. Suffocating, peak 5th rank aura erupted from the hell one after another.

Crawling out of the jagged cracks were pitch-black devils. They possessed jagged, shark-like teeth and massive, tri-colored demonic wings that unfurled behind their backs.

100…

1,000….

10,000…..

100,000…

1,000,000…!

One million devils, every single one radiating a terrifying aura near the peak of the 5th Rank, flooded out of the cosmic rifts.

“WHAT IS THIS?!” The billions of spectators watching from the planet simply could not take the mental strain anymore.

The overwhelmingly intense demonic pressure crushed their wills, forcing them to their knees.

The mighty dragons had completely lost their arrogant composure. The Dragon Monarch stared at the impossible, nightmarish scene with wide, trembling eyes.

One million devils lined up in perfect, disciplined formation behind Grey. He stood at the forefront, bathed in the light of his Saintly Halos and the supreme Crown of Finality. Motioning toward the massive Beast of Finality, Grey pulled Alissa along and casually took a seat right on the finality beast’s back, resting his chin on his knuckles in profound boredom.

Sitting next to him, Alissa stared at the endless army of demons in pure shock. Her brain had quite literally short-circuited.

In the following instant, Grey’s Saintly Halos flared with blinding intensity. Under the authority of his Nexus Sainthood, the million devils began to forcefully transform.

[Nexus Transformation]!

A warm, divine golden-purple light washed over the dark void. Once the radiance faded, the entire demonic army had been completely rewritten.

Their pitch-black skin turned into flawless, glowing white armor. Their demonic wings shifted into brilliant white-purple feathered wings. Above every single one of their heads, a glowing purple-golden halo materialized, and a spear of pure, condensed holy light formed in their hands.

But most importantly, their collective auras experienced a massive breakthrough, firmly shattering the 6th Rank threshold!

Grey looked down at the pale Dragon Monarch with absolute indifference. When he spoke, his voice glitched with multiple overlapping frequencies, a direct result of the Nexus Overclock pushing his conceptual limits.

“One million 6th Rank Nexus Angels versus your puny, overgrown lizards. Who do you think will win?”

A thrilling, dangerous smirk spread across Grey’s face.

“Let us give it a proper test, shall we?”

His saintly eyes flared with pure exhilaration.

Reality itself began to buckle and cave in around him. The Beast of Finality roared, rapidly pouring its endless cosmic energy directly into Grey’s Source Core. High above the battlefield, the supreme, intricate symbol of the Nexus materialized across the starry sky for the entire universe to witness.

[DOMAIN EXPANSION]!
