Kill the Sun - Chapter 749

The three Heroes quickly escorted Nick to the Containment Unit.

"Open it!" Nick ordered aggressively.

The CEO of the company quickly complied, activating the procedure.

"Faster!" Nick shouted.

"It can't go any faster!" the CEO shouted nervously. "There's a safety mechanism! It takes five minutes to open!"

"You think I'm stupid?!" Nick shouted. "You think I don't know about Aegis?! You just want to waste time so that Aegis arrives!"

BANG!

Nick punched the CEO through a wall and destroyed half of his Zephyx!

"If Aegis arrives, I will kill you before they can kill me!" Nick shouted. "Don't fuck with me!"

"It really doesn't go faster!" the Governor shouted, carefully walking closer to Nick like he was trying to calm him down.

Nick threw a hate-filled glance at the Governor.

"You're dead if you mess with me!"

It had been over a century since the Governor had been this scared.

"I swear! I'm not!" he shouted.

Naturally, the Governor had called for help, but after he realized the gravity of the situation, he rescinded the call for help.

He wasn't about to sacrifice his life so that Aegis could capture a random Specter!

For several tense minutes, everyone waited in front of the Containment Unit.

Finally, it opened, and Nick saw the Specter.

'A Force Specter, just as expected,' Nick thought as he looked at the cloud of aphrodisiac.

As soon as the doors opened, the faces of all the Heroes turned red, and they started to breathe heavily.

"New orders from Lord Lust," Nick transmitted to the Specter.

The Specter was just about to run wild in the city when it heard Nick's transmission.

As a Force Specter, it wasn't very intelligent, and the fear that Lust had put into the Specter made it compliant with Nick's orders.

"Gotta find a way to deal with this," Nick grumbled with hatred.

Then, he turned to the Heroes. "You're lucky you complied. You get to live another day."

Nick didn't wait for their answer and immediately shot out of the building.

Intimidated by the name of Lord Lust, the Force Specter followed.

Within seconds, the city lost all sight of the two Specters.

Everyone was still in shock.

One of their Heroes had been killed, and the strongest Specter of their city was taken away.

The Heroes looked at each other.

It was impossible to keep this secret.

They had to come clean with Aegis and hope that they only had to do guard duty for a couple of years.

If they didn't say anything, they would definitely be killed.

Meanwhile, Nick flew to an isolated location with the Specter.

Despite his immense power, he still didn't have a good way to deal with a Force Specter.

Force Specters were Nick's weakness.

"Wait here," Nick ordered the Force Specter with a voice transmission before leaving.

The Force Specter did just that, and Nick entered the closest stronghold again.

He contacted Aegis and told them to pick the Specter up.

Then, he opened the Specter Cage and pulled the tentacle-filled Specter out.

Since the Specter was still surrounded by Zephyx Suppressors, it was helpless.

Nick threw the Specter over the high walls into the crimson light.

Some seconds later, Nick heard a splash, and a wave of dense Zephyx washed over him.

On the other side of the wall was an enormous body of crimson liquid.

The surface of the liquid was covered in eyes, long hands, and screaming ghosts.

Naturally, this was the Crimson Sea.

It had become quite a bit more powerful within the last decades.

By now, it had become a Late Demon.

'That's dealt with,' Nick thought as he walked out of the room.

Only when the gate closed did Nick's nervousness calm down.

The Crimson Sea was still terrifying, and Nick might have died if he actually looked at it.

Luckily, it was safely contained in its gigantic Containment Chamber.

Its growth was also no longer an issue since the Technician could just dig deeper into the ground below it to expand its Containment Unit.

While the Crimson Sea was only about three kilometers wide, it was already over ten kilometers deep.

It would be more appropriate to call this thing a well instead of a sea at this point.

Next, Nick went back to the contained Adversary for another six months of learning.

This pattern repeated for another two years.

Nick was now 82 years old, and he had just advanced to becoming an Early Demon.

'Took me about eight years this time,' Nick thought. 'However, that's still extremely fast.'

'The suffering I am causing is also helping me advance.'

Naturally,while Nick essentially helped the people in Lust's cities in the long term, his involvement caused immense suffering in the short term.

The economy of the cities was turned on its head, and many policy changes took place, spreading a lot of fear and nervousness about the future.

Nick quickly searched for another city, and when the terrifying Specter made a fifth appearance, he knew that phase two of his plan was complete.

Nick knew that because the Heroes of this city basically didn't even resist.

While they didn't greet him with open arms, it was clear that they knew about him.

The terrifying Specter had gotten a reputation, and different cities knew about it.

Whenever it appeared, the city just needed to hand Lust's servant over, and everyone would be allowed to continue living.

Naturally, this reputation put the humans who were secretly working with Lust on edge.

When this Specter appeared, the city's collaboration with Lust would be exposed, and there was basically no way to hide anymore.

While Nick had only dealt with five cities, the reputation of the terrifying Specter caused many difficulties in several cities.

What if the Specter came to their city?

If that happened, the people working with Lust would die to Aegis!

Lust found it much harder to gain human followers, and it knew exactly why that was.

It was that angry Specter!

This single Demon was destabilizing its entire empire!

It had to deal with that Specter!
