Chapter 184: Wickedness Abounds
An unknown amount of time later with a plethora of pained growls in between, Hallow Crush finally managed to get rid of the pesky Antimatter Gold that assailed him. However, the cost was plentiful. Where there should be a majestic crimson wing bigger than a mothership, there was the gnashing wound of a missing limb. There, the greyish goo had stopped devouring anything in its path.
"You won't be able to heal for a while, but the laws of Death and Darkness will eventually weaken without a source, then you can replenish yourself" Zekron stated, storing his new creation -which he was immensely proud about- into his own desolate realm.
It had been a great experiment for him to see the capabilities of this poison, without a doubt it would be able to devastate any entity that it fell on, the only problem was that the requirements to prepare it was outrageous.
"…" Crush didn't say anything, still upset and outraged that he had to lower his head in order to save his life. More so, the 'goo' had been effective, so he 'couldn't' go back on his words now. Seeing the Primordial of Destruction's reluctance, Zekron merely chuckled evily, turning around and covering himself in a haze of darkness.
"I will take my leave now, Crush. I hope you don't forget you owe me a favour".
*RUMBLE!!!*
"Tch! I'm a Dragon!" Crush billowed, once again shaking his whole private universe as the wealth of his words was being questioned.
'I would know better than to trust you, Crush... dragon or not' Zekron thought inwardly, smirking and intending to depart.
"Very well, I will let you know what the favour is when the time comes".
It is said in legends of Helius that without a doubt one of the wisest entities in this world aside from Fate, is Death... and rightfully so.

After Zekron's departure, Hong could finally approach Crush only to see the person he addressed as 'big brother' in such a terrible state.
"Big brother… how did that happen?" Hong asked, referring to the Antimatter Gold that had been assailing him. A new feature which so far they didn't know Richter had the power to control.
"I was fighting Ether in Goldstein when all of the sudden the Primordial Gold adopted Antimatter properties and assisted Ether. If I didn't know any better, I'd believe that Richter has descended, but that is not the case, I would be able to sense him" Crush lay back down on his cliff in order to rest, ignoring the gusts of destruction aura that rocked back and forth, for him those were soothing in their own way.
His sharp eyes were fixed on Hong with mysterious intent.
"The Primordial Gold has expanded shamelessly. But once I become the Primordial of Time, I should be able to assist!" Hong was enthusiastic, his life seemed to be making a turn. A former Dragon God for more than two million years, he suddenly found the opportunity to shine... become Primordial of Time and even try to court Destiny for himself. It was not a mystery that the laws of Time were one of the most difficult laws to learn and practice. Stories even say that those unskilled enough would find their consciousness lost in the tendrils of time by a mere mistake in the use of those laws.
Hence why the number of experts that used them was extremely scarce and also... why Destiny had no proper suitors, unlike now.
Not only was it extremely difficult to find an expert with knowledge of time laws, but also... it was even more difficult for a said expert to get his hands on a Primal Spark.
Luckily for Hong, he met both requirements.
"Have you imprinted the time properties in the Primal Spark?" Crush inquired with a glare. As someone who had gone through the process himself, he knew very well what it entailed. The moment a person began fusing themselves with a Primal Spark was the moment their ascension began.
The first phase was to imprint a chosen 'law' into the primal spark. The second phase was to fuse with the Primal Spark of the chosen element, forever becoming a member of 'balance' in the multiverse. It sounds simple, but it wasn't... a person incompatible with the laws they were trying to imprint could end up turning into a disaster.
In this case, Hong had been one of his retainers, an individual whose excellence in time laws showed from his early years in the disruptive realm. There was no way Crush would let go of this chance.
"I have imprinted the time laws in the spark, but I haven't managed to fuse with it yet, big brother, it is difficult, but I will definitely-"
"No need, Hong... now that you have imprinted the time laws in the spark; I no longer have a use for you".
!!!
"B-Big brot-"
*BAAANG!*
It was in a mere instant. A Dragon God like Hong was no match for the peak of the destruction laws, more so in such a vulnerable state, without a single barrier erected. Knowing what the result could be, Crush shrouded him in destruction, erasing his flesh and soul as he even contemplated how he had died.
What remained was a single floating bright white shard, this shard then started floating towards Crush and he took it within his claws. This shard represented his and his realm's future.
"Took him long enough. Unlike you, Richter… I can recognise when I made a mistake… Destruction is my stepping-stone, not my final destination. The words of a dragon, honour? In order to reach the power to take anything from you… I don't mind throwing away my honour. Don't worry, I will give my laws of destruction a good use, one gift that you shall never forget".

Draconic Deus, the Earth.
"So this is your world" Jie Yuan looked around, back and forth, a little confused. There is this place around them that looks like a modern forest with people walking everywhere.
There are tall hand-made trees and buildings. There are... women with cat ears and tails? she didn't even know what she was looking at. It was a fair play though... the citizens of this place looked at the group of odd individuals dressed in tattered kimonos and sashes. They looked like vagrants.
Little did they know each one of those 'vagrants' was a peak Devil God capable of destroying this world with enough power.
"No, it is my mate's world" Richter clarified, looking around to see a city in which he had been only a handful of times. When he sliced through the Z-AXIS to arrive at the dimensional gap, it was desolated... he then sliced through to find the location of Grayfia and arrived in this world.
By his side were Li Suo, Jie Yuan, Ni Jie and a hundred Peak Devil Gods. No doubt a terrifying lineup that could make any god of any pantheon in this world shit themselves
"Father, what is this place?" Ni Jie clung onto Richter's arm, looking left and right while he placed his eyes on someone in particular amidst the Japanese crowd. Two certain maids and a red-haired boy.
"This place is called Japan... it seems the Castle is not floating too far away from here... follow me and don't drag too much attention".
"I think that's impossible, my lord... but if you so desire we can drag less attention".
Jie Fei spoke politely, after the fight against Regalzeva he did anything if not willing to bow down to this peak existence who had also gone as far as to wield their Devil Emperor... something that no other man had ever done before. If necessary, they'd follow him to hell.
That's the reason why in order to not 'drag attention' they immediately became incorporeal and invisible. A counterintuitive endeavour that accomplished the opposite of Richter's wishes.
!!!
"Not only do they do cosplay, but they also do magic as well!"
"Where are they?! they disappeared!"
...
The crowd went insane looking for the hundred-ish people that disappeared from one moment to the other, as for those devil gods, they had just become incorporeal and were following him from behind.
"What an interesting world, master... I'd like to explore it" The Creation Goddess of Life manifested her desire, there were genuine stars in her eyes when she saw the complex creations that the humans in this world were capable of.
"You have my permission, Li Suo" Richter spoke neutrally and kept walking together with Jie Yuan and Ni Jie towards the group of maids in the distance.
"Thank you, master. I will be by your side tonight"
"..."
Richter ignored any innuendo that may be included in Li Suo's sentence and instead, focused on the older maid of the two. When he analysed her body, he smiled with complex feelings.
'It is her, right?' Jie Yuan frowned, placing every single one of her senses in that maid. For the briefest moment, she looked at Grayfia's silver hair and then her own, wondering which is brighter.
'Yes, it is her... remember what I told you'.
'Don't worry, I won't alarm this entity... but I can tell you from the get-go, Richter... this entity of darkness inside her is quite strong. I haven't tried to sense it as it could trigger it, but... I can read its aura'.
'What is it?'
'Abyssal Werecroft... Menace of Helius'.
