The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 429 - 365: Our Child

"Is the Shadow Plane this dangerous during this era?"

The Shadow Plane has never been a paradise for mortals.

This is the convergence point of negative energy, the origin of the Shadow Demon Net, and the place where Chloe once fell.

Yet, even Chloe herself was witnessing such a perilous Shadow Plane for the first time.

Fufu said helplessly, "Isn't this your fault?"

The Shadow Plane was originally dangerous, but not to this extent.

In the World in the Painting, the Shadow Plane is filled with twisted gray storms.

Where the storm passes, even space trembles.

The source of the storm is none other than Chloe herself.

Or rather, it is the aura left by the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch when Chloe transformed years ago.

Even though the power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch has been sealed by Abigail and Annie working together, the land scorched by his Black Sun still retains a power that instills fear in living things.

As a result, Chloe now finds herself somewhat restricted as she attempts to advance into the depths of the Shadow Plane.

"It seems your power doesn't quite listen to you."

Fufu looked up and saw that in the area swept by the gray storm ahead, a twisted shadow giant was climbing up from the ground.

This was an eerie existence, polluted by the power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch and fused with the remnants of a Titan.

One could say they resemble more a life form spawned from the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch, rather than a natural life form.

And now, they intend to undertake a grand betrayal against their Creator.

With a thunderous boom,

Chloe punched out into the twisted whirlwind, colliding with the gray giant.

The giant, which had been roaring, seemed to regain a sliver of reason after the attack.

It lifted its head to look at the person in front of it, suddenly stopped its actions, and gave a rigid smile.

Chloe said nothing, merely shattered its body into dust with a single punch.

"Feeling upset?"

"No, just a bit frustrated," Chloe said after a moment of silence. "The power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch is too uncontrollable. These gray giants were destined to never recover human reason from the moment they were born, so putting them out of their misery is best."

This kind of symbiotic life form is significantly influenced by the originating being.

If Chloe back then could perfectly control his power and not perish, perhaps these gray giants would have become the first race he created.

But reality holds no "if."

The power of the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch was too uncontrollable.

Even he then, completely transformed into a Filthy Sun that would destroy everything.

The gray giants, inheriting the characteristics of the Filthy Sun, were inevitably influenced.

—They would unconditionally destroy everything before them.

Their brief response to Chloe was merely a last moment recognition of their Creator.

However, that recognition hardly qualified as reason, but rather as instinct.

"Kill them all, and let's go see our children."

The current Filthy Sun giants indiscriminately oppose any creature attempting to approach them, regardless of sex or age.

Nonetheless, Chloe, who is gradually reclaiming the Creator's authority, can always cause these Filthy Sun giants to hesitate briefly.

In that brief moment of hesitation, it is enough for two battle-hardened warriors to take them down.

Soon, Chloe detected the familiar filthy aura surrounding him.

It was the debris that had been stripped from the Filthy Sun Demon Monarch.

Only later, from the scant words of Abigail, Annie, and Fufu, did he learn of what had happened at the time.

After his death, the Pride Uniqueness separated and returned to The Stars, searching for a new host, while the legacy of the King of Pride he left behind, due to its inherently chaotic-evil nature, fused with the highly concentrated negative energy source from Shire's divine format and divine power, becoming sealed in the Shadow Plane.

This segment of power was later inherited by the firstborn, giving rise to the tale of the Destruction Black Sun.

Meanwhile, the Dark Night Uniqueness, representing Shire's root power, split into two, carried away through reincarnation by him and Fufu via information transfer.

During the process, the World Will leveraged the God of Glory and Justice to aid them in the reincarnation process.

As for the fragment of the Storm Uniqueness, besides The Stars' Will, nobody knows where it was taken.

His main power, however, was sealed under the World Tree, handled by Abigail and Annie for transformation in the 'Simulated Hero,' where, if unprepared, accepting this power would turn him directly into the rampaging Filthy Moon Demon King of that age.

Chloe had heard these tales countless times but never expected that the power sealed within the Shadow Plane would manifest in such a way.

...

"It almost feels like a small abyss. I remember during your Filthy Moon Demon King period, your power wasn't this polluted, was it?"

Fufu looked at the Black Sun hovering in the sky, her gaze towards Chloe growing more nuanced.

"Who knows? Uniqueness intrinsically carries the inclination of the World Will. The fusion of negative energy in the Shadow Plane with the chaotic evil power of the Abyss into such a twisted and terrifying form indeed surpasses my understanding."

In his understanding, both negative energy and chaotic evil power are fundamentally more tameable forces.

If it were merely a singular type of pollution, for Chloe, it would be as if it wasn't even there.

Fufu sensed Chloe's train of thought and could only say helplessly, "Isn't there a chance the issue lies not with these powers but with you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"According to what you said, in Rephya's simulation, you once became the most perfect vessel. Do you know what that means?"

"It's just a bunch of old geezers eager to take advantage of a new body."

"Really?"

"...At most, it just means my adaptability to various powers is slightly higher than the average person."

"More like super high!" Fufu helplessly said, "Your most unique trait is your high adaptability to almost all powers. You probably should have guessed; all powers have inherent traits, but your uniqueness lets you ignore those traits and use them directly."

"..."

Chloe was left speechless.

The so-called perfect vessel, isn't it a body where any kind of power can be highly effective?

Under normal circumstances, a body that can contain Divine Power should not be able to contain Negative Energy, much less absorb Evil Power.

But Chloe is different.

He can use it directly.

Not only use it, but wield it with immense strength.

"Luckily, I still have a trump card left."

Chloe waved his hand, and the newly forged Thunderous Battle Halberd fell into his grasp.

Although the power was restricted, the new Divine Artifact bearing Filthy Thunder's power wasn't limited.

With just this weapon, he could wield Demigod Power.

In the next second, brilliant black thunder swept across, carving a path deep within.

There, Chloe saw a young man deeply eroded by corrupting forces.

The power of the Destruction Black Sun kept flowing into his body, but Chloe felt his essence was being torn apart.

He had never faced his own power from a lower stance before.

Looking back at the Destruction Black Sun now, it truly had a will to devour everything.

"It seems I've left the child with something hard to deal with."

Seeing the man sleeping within the Black Sun, he suddenly sighed.

He seemed to sense someone approaching around, as the sound of Iron Riders approaching began to echo.

Soon, an army was upon their location.

"Stop where you are."

Chloe glanced over and suddenly burst into laughter.

The ones coming to stop them were the Dark Crow Guards.

But when the leading demigod-class Dark Crow Guardian rushed forward, he suddenly halted, staring dumbfounded at the man before him.

The next moment, he roared in anger: "You bastard, how dare you impersonate him!"

After speaking, he raised a mountain and smashed it down hard.

Yet, the rising Filthy Thunder tore the mountain completely asunder, and in the thundering light, Chloe looked at the stunned Guardian and said:

"We haven't seen each other for many years; your strength has indeed grown quite a bit."

After he said that, he scrutinized the Dark Crow Guardian once more.

"But that foul temper, why hasn't it changed?"

The Dark Crow Guardian shivered suddenly as he watched the permeating Filthy Thunder.

"It can't be, absolutely can't be, he's already dead, what are you exactly?"

"Do you want to see who your grandpa really is?"

Chloe, in a huff, gripped his Thunderous Battle Halberd and struck out.

He didn't use too much force.

Even among demigods, there are differences.

He didn't intend to kill his former subordinate.

But even so, with just one strike, he instantly woke the other up.

"I've seen the Empire's Sun… er, will calling you that be a problem now?"

The Guardian hesitated a bit.

Chloe gave him a glance and said: "Step aside, we're going to check on that foolish son."

The Guardian shivered, suddenly realizing something and turned to look at the woman accompanying Chloe.

As he looked on, he could see something was off.

[Is it truly the Empress and the Prince?]

"Apologies, Majesty is currently at a critical moment, I can't let anyone disturb him."

"Not even me?"

"Yes, not even you."

"But you can't stop me, can you?"

Chloe waved his hand, and the pervasive Filthy Thunder fused into the Destruction Black Sun.

The anxious Guardian prepared to take action but then heard a weary voice from within the Black Sun:

"Don't mind them."

The speaker was Chloe's eldest son.

The Guardian awoke from his daze and halted his attack.

Only then did he apologize to Chloe and his companion: "Sorry, Your Majesty, Your Highness, it's my duty, I had to stop you."

Chloe waved a hand: "Step aside, don't get in my way, trying to digest my power isn't that easy, having no method at all, it still has to be me."

Then Chloe was hit by Fufu.

Confused, he turned to look at Fufu, seemingly puzzled as to why she hit him.

"Enough, showing off even in front of your own child." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Chloe sheepishly smiled: "I wasn't showing off, wasn't I just helping him?"

"Don't you dare scold my Augustus."

"Alright alright, I won't scold, but I wasn't even scolding him in the first place."

"Hmph."

Fufu didn't say anything more.

Chloe finally focused all his attention on his eldest son.
