Chapter 32: Playing God
In the battlefield, King Rudas denied the existence of a mutated soul, and Armand received a direct order from his holy land. He was sure that there was a mutated soul in this place because he never doubted the orders of his elders from the holy land. Also, in a way, Armand is right; the mutated soul his elders found was Azkar, and that's why they are here. So, technically, they are here for Azkar, and they'll soon see him.
"So you choose to witness the destruction of your empire, where every human becomes a slave and a food source for my race. I expected more from you, King Rudas. You still decide to save that child," Armand said with a slightly angry face because he thought that this would be easy if he threatened him.
"How many times do I have to tell you, our kingdom did not have a child as you describe? But for everything you did to my empire, you'll pay the price," King Rudas said.
He began to prepare for the kamikaze move for his people. His body heated, and his aura changed from red to completely white gold, emitting a fiery glow. This was the same attack he had tried to use on the dragon.
"Fire of Casualty," King Rudas said, and his whole body started burning with white flame. Not only that, but his lifespan also began to burn.
"You..." Armand wanted to say something, but before he could, King Rudas attacked him, and his body and soul also began to burn. However, being a Domain rank expert, he used his Domain to save his life.
"Domain expansion," as he said this, the whole battlefield began to change into a sea because he has a unique Domain, a [Domain of Water]. Inside his domain, he survived the attack of King Rudas, but he still sustained serious injuries. he was stunned; he did not expect this attack to be so powerful.
All the people in the battlefield, no matter who they are, demonic beasts or humans, all of them are trapped inside a long cube-type space filled with water. They began to lose consciousness due to a lack of oxygen. All of the water came from the river near the battlefield, and inside the water domain, soldiers began to pray to their gods.
One particular soldier, about to die, said something shocking about God,
"Like I always believed that there's no god in this world. They are just hypocrites pretending to be gods. I'm sorry, my daughter. I'll never see your face again," the middle-aged soldier cried after remembering his daughter. He was about to die from suffocating, but he saw something extraordinary—a divine being floating outside of the domain. Since the water is clear, he could see outside.
A soldier witnessed a mysterious figure donned in an all-encompassing black robe adorned with celestial infinity symbols. This enigmatic person wore a white full-face mask, revealing eyes of divine beauty; one eye gleamed red, the other a captivating blue. His long, flowing white hair magnified his divine aura, while a large black halo spun gracefully behind him, causing time and space to behave differently in his presence. The calm confidence exuded by this individual manifested a sense of omnipotence.
"God," the middle-aged soldier could only say so much as he was dying from suffocation.
Azkar, floating in the sky and pretending to be a god, observes everyone dying in the cube-like domain of water from suffocation.
"Evaporate," he says with a gentle voice, as if his words have the power to shape reality itself.
BOOOM!
Crack! Crack!
The whole domain completely shattered, and every single particle of water evaporated in just a fraction of a second.
Every person in the battlefield saw the divine being floating in the sky. Everything slowed down in his very presence, as if time had no value.
"God has come to help us," soldiers and hunters from the empire shared the same thoughts, as no one in the presence of the being could speak.
Every individual, whether human or beast, was on their knees, witnessing the divine being in the sky. Only some of them could think about the situation in the presence of the unknown entity.
King Rudas, familiar with all the gods worshipped in his empire, has never seen any god like this entity. Meanwhile, Armand's whole body is soaked in blood as his domain was destroyed with just a single word, and he knows nothing about this mysterious entity.
"The time has come to end this worthless war. There will be no more violence from this very moment," a calming, melodic voice declares, carrying a sense of authority and reassurance.
Azkar observes demonic beasts attempting to resist his pressure, prompting him to decide to conclude his play as soon as possible.
"Disappear," Azkar utters the word, and upon hearing it, every single demonic beast in the battlefield begins to vanish, as if their very existence has been denied by reality itself.

"..."
Glorious Loot!
Azkar, observing his loot in the prompt, thought about the [Loot Collector] ability. A blue Panel appears in front of his eyes.
>Loot Collector [Passive] :: A law-altering ability that allows the user to directly collect all the loot into the [Loot Space]. The incoming loot will also be quantified and expressed in an itemized order before the user's eyes.
Azkar observed the detail of his skill, but others on the battlefield were in shock due to the countless demonic beasts that perished from a single uttered word.
Everyone grasped that this entity tolerated no resistance before him, realizing their life is not in their control . They all misunderstood him ; Azkar's sole purpose was to play the role of a mysterious god, saving the day and collecting loot to the fullest extent possible.
Azkar wanted to check his new types of loot, but right now, he's playing god; he has to behave like one. He noticed everyone looking at him as if pleading for mercy.
"What the hell? How come I'm here to help them, and they're looking at me like I'm here to kill them? I killed all the demonic beasts; is this not enough to prove that I'm here to help?" Azkar observed, looking at the people on the battlefield and then saw Armand.
"Do you have anything to say?" Azkar wanted to kill that Domain rank expert and see what loot he'd gain from it, but he decided to play along with his god-like character, asking Armand, who is bathed in his own blood.
Armand observed the entity questioning him as if it already knew everything, compelling him to confess his sins. Despite numerous attempts, he struggled to speak, only finding his voice when granted permission.
"I... I'm Armand, from the Vampire Empire. Please don't kill me." He intended to finish his sentence but hesitated.
"You've taken many innocent lives; you don't know your sins," Azkar spoke with a voice resonating profound wisdom and the suffering of mortality. He thought, "Oh, this feeling. Hahaha, it seems I have to use this god-like character more; it's fun.
"If you kill me, our holy land will destroy this planet." Armand, devoid of reasoning, resorted to blackmailing the entity.
"You poor soul..." Azkar thought, deciding to collect his loot as soon as possible before the Vampire Lord succumbs to his injuries.
"Everything is an illusion; wake up," Azkar said in a calming, melodic voice that carried a sense of authority and reassurance. He thought, "Damm, I have to work on the speech part.
The Vampire Lord died within a fraction of a second; his existence disappeared like an illusion.

"Killing a Domain Rank powerhouse really gives me pretty good loot. I have to kill more of these Domain Rank experts in the future," Azkar thought.
