Chapter 172: Unspeakable Levels Of Farming, Destruction Of Prometheus
It had been ages since last Duke Doxing was so infuriated over a man, and especially for one of such a high standing within Noble Society—a status gained not from lineage but of pure battle merits in the war with the Vermillion Phoenix Providence.
He respected the young Marquis for that fact, but he abhorred him and his face far more than he appreciated his accolades!
Just wait until I catch you, Amonroth… I will make sure to give you a fate far worse than death!!
His Peak-Diamond Rank Aura fluctuated a little as he nearly let his rage consume him.
But before he reached such a point, he saw the giddy look on his daughter\'s face. And after seeing the infatuated expressions of all his other daughters as well, that rage was instantly replaced with depression.
He got to my other daughter\'s as well… But how?? I kept them inside their rooms for the gathering so that this wouldn\'t happen, and yet…
Duke Doxing was beginning to think that life wasn\'t worth living anymore...
He dejectedly walked away from the ballroom and headed in the direction of his private chambers, looking to fall onto his bed in a deep morass of sadness.
My baby girl\'s… To that Devil… All because he decided to show up and whisk away my daughter\'s with his fox-like grasp…

Meanwhile, as the Duke went through the seven stages of grief, Azmodeus spun around in the middle of a dimly lit ballroom dance floor. He and the gorgeous Jia Lei weaved in and out of the he spotlight, making for a truly sophisticated display.
A light and fuzzy-feeling melody played in the background as a number of professional violinists and pianists played their hearts out in order to set the mood for their lady.
Azmodeus wasn\'t too sure how he had gotten to this point in time. But with the other Duke\'s Daughter\'s expectantly waiting for their dance to conclude so they could go next, he was sure that the night would be a long one…
"Hey, Amonroth… You\'re not of this world, are you?"
"???"
Jia Lei took him out of his thoughts with a question that she whispered out of the blue.
Although he was puzzled by her question, it wasn\'t one too uncommon among those of Azura. Many people were either descended from cultivators that came from outside of the Astral Plane or were outlanders themselves—the term in which they were called.
Regardless of how abrupt the question was, Azmodeus stared into the sparkling yellow eyes of the 5\'7 blonde woman as he replied, "Yes, I come from beyond the Astral Plane-"
"I\'m not talking about that, silly. I\'m referring to the other-other world—Earth!" Jia Lei interrupted his response with a discovery that left Azmodeus in a state of shock.
To know about Earth… She\'s a hero…
At this realization, his eyes widened a bit, as this was the first time he had met a hero since coming to the Astral Plane.
He had originally assumed that they were either extremely good at hiding or they were absurdly rare, and it turned out that it was a little bit of both.
But to meet a hero here… And after exterminating them to extinction in Prometheus… Is the world chasing after me…?
As soon as that thought entered Azmodeus\'s mind, his thoughts started to spiral.
At least, that was until he realized that the time dates didn\'t match up, considering that the Duke\'s Eldest Daughter was 1000 years old, while he was a little over 300 years old.
If it\'s not the pursuit of Prometheus after I razed it to the ground with a blast of |infinite heat|...
Is it possible that it\'s somehow related to the repercussions taken against me for massacring a few other Low-Mortal Realms with attacks capable of inflicting Endless Single Layered Infinity damage…?
The Crimson Devil Lord, or Evil God as people called him, had been doing unspeakable levels of farming inside Prometheus as of late.
He eventually reached a point where he wasn\'t receiving enough Evolution Essence from \'regular\' massacres. And with the Infinite Evolution System informing him of the \'Depletion of the world\'s Infinity Essence\', resulting in a steep drop of Evolution Essence, a drastic decision had to be made…
It was decided by all the Primordial Essence Clones that they should increase the degree to which they encroached upon their morals, so Prometheus as a whole was put on the chopping board.
But then again, Azmodeus wasn\'t cruel enough to kill innocents without regard for the excruciating pain that would follow. So after creating an attack with enough potency to erase a Single Layered Infinity Construct in one blow, Prometheus was erased the day of.
Of course, there was no pain involved for any existences in said construct, so the impact of Karma was severely reduced. This made it so that he could further limit all Karma with the \'Karma Severing\' technique that he developed a few dozen years ago.
The result of these actions was the complete destruction of Prometheus, with all strength being transmitted to the one who caused it.
However, with the acquisition of an insane amount of Evolution Essence, there came a bottomless void in the spot where Prometheus used to be located.
Along with that void was no more Evolution Essence for the Loot Goblin…
So in response to this travesty to all creation, the widely feared Evil God and every single one of his clones moved outside of the space where the Single Layered Infinity Low-Mortal World used to be.
After traveling around the infinite, boundless void of a higher degree of infinity than a single layered cosmic construct, the Evil God found his next target—the Realm of Acropolis.
It was a Single Layered Infinity World, and though it took countless years of Void travel to reach it, everything was worth it in the end. It was immediately understood that this realm would be just the place to begin anew and scope out the extent of its \'loot value\'.
The world itself was infinitely stretching and had giant land masses with boundless water surrounding them, just like Prometheus. But other than that, there was nothing worthy of notice besides a few unique Physique users.
So after understanding that the \'loot value\' was around that of Prometheus, the Evil God evaporated the world with a slash of his |Endless Slashes| technique.
Of course, |Endless Slashes| was adapted to the \'Infinite Series\' in order to be capable of imbuing Single Layered Infinity destroying qualities. Furthermore, the same result could be obtained with every stroke of the blade!
