Darius Supreme



Darius glanced at Gunner who had already killed more than half of his targets and Luna who was currently choking Sachiko, who was in tears as the headless corpses of Ryoko and Yukiko lay beside Luna's feet. 

Luna eventually snapped her neck and ended her misery while Gunner continued to use one punch to turn all the cultivators around him into bloodmist. Some managed to fight back using special tricks like immortal skills that bound Gunner in place or to teleport away using other skills. 

There were a variety of methods put up on display, but as they always said, before absolute strength, all manner of plots were useless. Just because Gunner had some difficulty with the merged fighter earlier did not mean that these small fry with stat points below 500 could match him. 

Darius then removed his attention from this one sided 'battle' and then focused on his quests tab that had been updated.

There were more than a few quests that had been added as a result of his moving to Pan. It made sense since it was likely, especially in the case of Local Quests, that they would be mirrored per each continent he focused on. 

The new quests were not too difficult and many of them could be achieved in due time or in quick succession. Anyway, time was something Darius had in abundance since he and everyone he cared for had extensive lifespans. 

Once he raised his head, he noticed that Gunner had killed the last Immortal Emperor, and Darius couldn't help but smile. A huge upheaval to the world order had occurred here and Pan would soon be in unbridled chaos. 

Meanwhile, Houto would likely be no better after having half of their top powerhouses gone. With such a power vacuum, things would not be as simple as just saying one word and occupying such slots. 

There would be wars, bloodshed and tragedy, the perfect recipe for endless chaos. 

Darius nodded with satisfaction and had the maidbots come and clean up the various corpses. All of them were good materials for study and if anything, he could revive them using deaths call and preserve their full power and ability without suffering a loss. 

You'd probably ask, why kill them if you were going to revive them as is? 

Why for experience and drops of course! Not only did you get that for killing them you could revive them and have them be eternally loyal undead with their abilities intact, which was basically getting both sides of the deal for yourself! 

Who could say not to that? 

Darius then glanced at the relieved experience for all the kills which amounted to about 5%. It was not much, but every little bit added to the whole anyway. 

There was also the completed event which paid out a total of 1880 AP and 1790 SP each. 3 Onmyoji paid out 150 AP and 90 SP in total, 1 Samurai paid out 40 AP and 20 SP, 3 Shrine Maidens paid out 300 AP and 300 SP in total, 2 Ninjas paid out 40 AP and 30 SP in total, 25 Immortal Kings paid out 750 AP and 750 SP in total and 12 Immortal Emperors paid out 600 AP and 600 SP. 

Hm, what a clean and tidy profit. As usual, Darius let the stats stack and remain in waiting. He would not use them until it was time to assault other planes where he would need every ounce of strength possible. 

Faust as it was right now was underleveled for him, like a level 30 player in a level 5-10 zone. However, it was his foundation and a special planet created for him to grow on, so he couldn't just wrap things up and go elsewhere. 

Darius did not appease the itinerant cultivators who were shivering as they had witnessed horrific events unfold right before their eyes. He allowed them to leave and spread this information, for if people did not know, how would chaos form? 

Now all he had to do was wait patiently for the world to work on his behalf and in the meantime, he could continue what he was doing. 

Darius and his group withdrew into the inner sect and no itinerant cultivator saw their faces again fro a long time after that. The outer sect functioned as usual and even became more lively due to the assurance of safety and fairness in business. 

Sales were made daily, loans were taken and indenture contracts were signed. Many cultivators achieve rapid breakthroughs replying on the abundant spiritual energy here, and they felt their confidence grow. 

However one thing that never wavered was their fear and respect of the sect itself and this extended to all factions on the continent. All of them began fighting with each other brutally, but none ever extended their battle anywhere near the area of the Pan Suppression Sect. 

Houto too erupted in warfare, but it was not as chaotic as Pan which no longer had any Grandmasters, so the numerous Master stage factions reared their ugly heads and began biting crazily for a chunk of flesh. 

However, how could that fit Darius' plan? This was where the itinerant cultivators he had indentured through the loans came in, as they were all dispatched strategically to Houto to cause trouble covertly. None of their lives were wasted doing suicidal things, only entering the are and causing the already tense situation to erupt. 

They also constantly supplied weaker factions with elite goods sent from the Pan Suppression Sect which could allow them to turn the tables against the superior faction and extend the duration of the conflict. 

Of course, some of the fellows died while on missions. If their corpses could be recovered, someone else would be dispatched to receive them. The returned corpse would be brought back to life as undead and made a permanent slave with no hope of freedom, a price to pay for failure plus the remaining debt. 

If the corpse could not be recovered, the HoloBrace on their wrist would detonate with such force that an area of 1 kilometer around the corpse would be thoroughly destroyed, leaving no remains for any enemy faction to deduce their identity or purpose there, not to mention that the one who took their life would either be dead or on the verge of it. 

Those who survived and completed their missions though, would have their debt lowered, but their credit threshold would increase. So in order to get stronger, they were invited to take bigger loans which would extend their reduced debt and force them to do more difficult missions to payback. 

If they failed their missions and survived, then they would incur penalties without the benefits of more loans. So you'd still have to work more, and now your debt had increased for failure as well as the loan,  you'd quickly feel full of regret and despair.
