Cross cracked his knuckles and said "Tell me, this Great Brahma moron... Is he strong?" one of the men sneered and said "Stronger than you can possibly Imagine!" Cross chuckled and he asked "One more thing... Will he sit at my table?" the two men were confused and Cross appeared behind them like a ghost, the two eye holes glowed a vicious red light as he said in a tone colder than the depths of hell "Because, I'm missing a good opponent."
He smashed his fists on the back of the two men's heads. Sending them flying out of the realm into space.
Cross licked his lips and broke the speed barrier, chasing after them.
The people inside his inner world were watching from a screen Aurora made. The kids trembled in awe and Luna said "Wow..." Qianye Ying'er hummed happily "Someone brave enough to sit at the table.." she licked her lips and said "I can't wait~"
Jasmine watched carefully, Feng Xue'er was cheering, and Jie Yuan smiled at his figure. Yuanyuan clapped "Daddy's so strong!" Jie Yuan kissed her cheeks and said "Yes he is." Yuanyuan cheered happily.
Lily waved her fist and shouted "Carl! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you like dad! Come here!" Carl, who was in his human form now, trembled and ran away saying "Little demon go play with the other beasts!" Lily flew after him shouting "No! I'm gonna beat you silly!" Carl shouted "Why me!?"
Outside~
Cross chased after the two and decided to kill one first. He flashed over the weaker one and made a claw before punching through his chest, ripping out his heart and crushing it over his head, staining his armor red.
He formed a swirl over his hand and slapped the heartless man's chest, destroying his body to nothing. He took the ring off his finger before it got destroyed and threw it into the inner world. He snapped his head to the other man and chuckled before shooting forward, thrusting his, now Dark Purple, horns at him.
The man chanted and fire accumulated around him, shooting towards Cross. Nobody told him this Elf was so fierce! Cross roared and morphed into his Void Beast form.
He looked like the tattoo on his back but he was clad in black armor. Cross stomped on the air and roared, the entire God Realm trembled and a black whirlpool appeared in front of him, sucking in all the fire and crushing it.
Cross growled as he stalked towards the man, his 6 wings coated in black, the only thing of color was his glowing red eyes. The man was scared shitless and turned to run, Cross bared his teeth, lunging at the man and biting into his body, ripping out an arm along with half his torso.
Cross' red eye glowed a cruel light as he clawed the man's legs off and bit him in half.
He stepped on the man and opened his mouth in front of the man's face. A black ball appeared before a pillar of black light bursted out and obliterated the man's head. Cross looked at the man's clothes and noticed a flame pattern, he looked up and saw a soul he jumped forward and devoured the soul.
The man's ring was sent into the inner world and Cross narrowed his beast eyes at the information he got. Cross reverted to normal and the armor returned to his necklace, he stood there for a moment before saying seriously "It's time to go."
He stepped and disappeared.
Cross appeared in front of Yun Che and said "I need to talk to you." Yun Che lost his smile and nodded, the duo both disappeared.
Cross and Yun Che were standing in the Palace and Cross said "I have to go." Yun Che said "Already?" Cross nodded and said "Yes. The Tree..." his eyes narrowed "It's in trouble." Yun Che frowned and said "Alright. I'll take over then." Cross nodded and said "Jie Yuan is coming with me, have Wuyao take over the Devils and Law Enforcement."
Yun Che patted his shoulder and smiled "Don't worry. I got this." Cross smiled and hugged him saying "I'll miss you bro." Yun Che sniffed and patted his back before pushing him away saying "You're getting soft on me?" Cross laughed and said "Not a chance!" Yun Che grinned and left the Palace to go tell the rest.
The duo's smiles slowly disappeared and their eyes watered. Spending 27 years together, they developed a close bond. Now they were separating for who knows how long. It wasn't a good feeling.
Cross didn't waste any time and went straight to Xiao Lie's, stocked up on a ton of Wine before telling him that he's leaving and to tell the rest. He locked the Inner world and teleported to the Void Sect.
Cross hovered above the Void Sect, it was bustling with disciples. In the middle of the Sect there was a statue of himself, Ling Jie built it for him when he was making the sect despite Cross telling him not to. Ling Jie said that he had to honor his Master if not then he wouldn't care about the sect.
Good Disciple, Bad Sect Master.
Cross sighed and pointed at the Statue. A golden Light enveloped it and sank into the statue, making it look alive, there was even a bit of pressure coming off it. Cross put a formation in it along with a spell, if the sect was even threatened the statue would come to life and slaughter the enemy with the strength of an Ancestral God.
So fierce!
He waved his hand and a golden mist appeared in the entire Sect. The disciples were confused but felt amazing as their cultivations, talents, comprehension, and bodies, became better. Ling Jie knew exactly what it was and looked up in the sky to see Cross looking at him. He smiled and waved, Ling Jie teared up and Cross disappeared.
Ling Jie sat on his chair and covered his face as he cried, stunning the disciples, who went to go get Xuanyuan Yufeng. Only his personal disciples knew Yufeng was his mother, they treated her with great respect even though she was just in the Divine Soul Realm.
Yufeng dismissed the disciples and hugged Ling Jie after they left saying "What's wrong, baby." Ling Jie choked out "Master... He.. He's gone!" Yufeng sighed and rubbed his back saying "It's okay, baby. He left you a task, no? Do your best, when he comes back he'll be proud of you." Ling Jie cried and Yufeng consoled him, silently thanking Cross in her heart.
She helped her entire family so much, he truly treated Ling Jie very well. In this life and probably the next, she was indebted to him.
Cross appeared in the air and he stretched his hand out before clawing at the space in front of him. He ripped a hole in it and narrowed his eyes before going inside. The space behind him fixed itself and disappeared, like nothing had ever happened.
Cross traveled through space, ignoring the space blades that were coming towards him as he floated in infinite darkness and void. He felt right at home funnily enough. He was studying the abyss that was around him and increasing his control over the Law of Nothingness.
He floated through the abyss before coming across a world, he looked inside and saw a brown haired kid shouting "Boost" over and over again. He frowned and muttered "Annoying." before throwing a blackhole at the world and obliterating the annoying child as well as everyone else in the world.
That world was gone forever never to return again. Not even the gods could save it. It was completely finished.
He kept moving along and came across another world, he looked in this one but he was immediately disgusted. There was a kid who had 50 something wives and apparently didn't understand what sex was. He heard someone calling the boy 'Vahn', anyway he was disgusted my this kid and annihilated the world.
A large black hole devoured the world and ripped the kid at the molecular level very slowly as painfully as possible. He even got to see all of the girls he unfortunately never satisfied turn to dust in front of his eyes. A white light came out of him and said "Thank god, see you never Vahn." before popping out of existence.
The entire world crumbled and was destroyed, fortunately never disgusting anyone ever again!
Cross continued floating past worlds and saw a world with a swordsman and a woman. He was currently in a world with soul monsters. The swordsman looked up at Cross, who stared back at him with interest. The woman next to him said "Leo, what is it?" Leo said "I feel like someone's looking at me..."
Cross smirked and pointed down, a sword fell from the sky and stuck itself in the ground in front of the boy named Leo. The sword was a pitch black katana with a monkey figure on the end of the hilt. A letter flew down and landed in Leo's hands "A gift from a friend~"
Leo smiled and took the sword, folding the paper and putting it in his pocket. The woman smiled and they left.
Cross moved on and came across another world, it was Earth! But it was different! It seemed to be the past and there were other things that changed. Cross looked in and saw a young Tom Riddle! Cross was stunned he saw the boy talking with a bald lady, who looked very kind. He frowned looking at Tom but then noticed his soul was different!
Cross was confused and the bald lady looked up before grabbing Tom and knocking him out. Her soul appeared in front of Cross and said "Who are you?" Cross frowned and said "Who are you? Why are you helping Tom Riddle?"
The woman was stunned and said "You know Tom?" Cross said seriously "Of course! I killed him! He's young now, but he becomes a Dark Lord in the future. Him and that Dumbledore fellow." The bald woman slapped her forehead and said "Oh! Nono, you see this is an alternate Earth. You came from a different one. This is a completely different Tom Riddle."
Cross muttered "That's why his soul looks different I guess..." the woman said "So you are?" Cross said "Cross. Nice to meet you..." the woman said "They call me Ancient One." Cross nodded and said "I see. Well, if Mr. Riddle ever acts up to destroy the world you can count on me for support. Just crush this, and I'll be there as fast as I can." as he handed her a jade monkey on a string necklace.
Ancient One took it with a smile and said "Thanks! I'll keep him on the right path. By the way, there's a world eater not far from here. I suggest you be careful." Cross smiled and said "No problem and Thank you!" before leaving, Ancient One went back, happy to have made a new friend.
Cross avoided the 'World Eater' which could possibly be himself and passed yet another world, he looked in and saw the same world that Leo fellow was in but there was a 7'8ft guy inside with a green bracelet. Cross was startled at the sheer size of this guy, he was bigger than Yuanba!
The guy looked up and narrowed his eyes, feeling fierce fighting intent. Cross chuckled and flicked him away before throwing him a jade bracelet with a monkey carved into it and floating away. The big guy got up and scratched his head looking at the bracelet in his hands.
A woman with golden hair and bones covering the bottom of her face to her nipples appeared next to him and said "Are you okay, Ren?" The guy stood up and smiled "Yeah." as he played with the bracelet in his hand.
Cross floated off and he was suddenly dragged by an unstoppable force. He appeared in front of a giant Azure Dragon. Cross looked up and said "Wow. You're huge!" The Azure Dragon said "Yeah, not the first time I've heard it believe it or not. I'm giving you a choice kid. Stay with your women, or go alone."
Cross frowned and the Dragon's eyes flashed, all the woman and kids came out and the dragon said "Make a choice, it's extremely dangerous here for you. I have talked to the Tree, she told me to send you somewhere but she didn't say where to send the girls."
Cross looked at the girls and frowned, thinking extremely hard.
A while later
He finally opened his mouth and said...
