Global Descent: I Alone Can See Hidden Evolution Paths

Chapter 56: Demon overload vs min jae

The white holographic schematic of the Celestial Compass Grid whirred softly, casting cold turquoise light over the white marble architecture. Major General Shin Ye-rin’s fingers blurred across the glowing command glass, isolating the tracking beam sent by the enemy overlord.

"Min-jae, the translation code is stable," Ye-rin reported, her short black bob shifting as she turned her head. Her voice was steady, completely formal. "I’ve hijacked the leftover scrap files from Fleet Admiral Malgath’s flagship. By running his command data through the new Sub-Divine Celestial Anvil, I’ve unlocked a structural modification patch for our frontline units."

[System Alert: Sub-Divine Scrap Modification Success!]

[Twelve ’Void-Ember Dread-Mechs’ have completed structural adaptation!]

[New Matrix Unlocked: ’Abyssal Gravity Anchors’ — The mechs can now forcefully project localized gravity wells that pin enemy capital ships down by 40%, trapping them inside Min-jae’s active solar field dimensions.]

Min-jae casually nodded, his hands remaining inside the pocket segments of his True Vajra Sub-Divine God-Armor. He looked across the lounge, noting the automated mechanical frames outside the viewing glass humming with heavy dark energy. "Keep their engines idling, Ye-rin. We drop the moment the coordinates solidify."

"Understood. Give me five minutes to balance the spatial pressure," Ye-rin replied, turning back to her data lines.

The core team dispersed across the deck to run their final armament checks. The lounge fell into a quiet, heavy calm. Min-jae walked over to the open-air edge of the platform, his bottomless black eyes tracking the swirling violet starlight clouds of the fifth layer.

A sudden, crisp scent of fresh winter frost drifted through the warm air behind his shoulder.

Min-jae didn’t turn around immediately, but his armor registered a subtle drop in the local humidity. Gu Bylai stepped up directly beside his flank, her long silk train sweeping across the floorboards. The staggeringly beautiful Ice Goddess looked exceptionally sexy, the white silk combat gown clinging tantalizingly to her voluptuous frame. Her full, heavy chest heaved with a quiet, shaky breath, her exotic icy-blue eyes fixed entirely onto his handsome profile.

"The dimensional transit code is heavy," Gu Bylai said softly, her voice sounding like a low, seductive chime of glass. She reached out, her slender, pale fingers hesitantly brushing against the dark plates of his gauntlet. Her face instantly flushed a beautiful, deep crimson as she felt the intense, suffocating heat radiating from his solar armor. "Min-jae... the demon overlord’s sector is a brutal graveyard. He has crushed countless pantheons before our timeline. Are you truly unbothered by what lies at the bottom of that beam?"

Min-jae slowly turned his head, his deadpan black eyes looking straight into her panicking gaze. A sudden, unexpected wave of shyness hit his chest as his eyes traced the smooth line of her bare shoulders and the pouty violet curve of her lips. A faint flush crept up his neck beneath his dark collar, his fingers awkwardly shifting inside his pockets before he cleared his throat.

"I don’t look at the size of the army, Bylai," Min-jae said, his voice dropping into a low, slightly flustered baritone that sent a deep shiver straight into her core. "I look at the return on investment. If he wants to use a tracking laser to disturb my palace, he is simply offering me his entire territory on a silver platter."

Hearing his deep voice crack ever so slightly with standard human embarrassment, Gu Bylai let out a soft, breathless laugh. The divine terror that had gripped her soul for centuries completely vanished, replaced by an intoxicating wave of warmth. She stepped closer, entirely overriding her own pride as she leaned her soft curves directly against his armored shoulder, her emerald-tinged icy eyes looking up at him with an absolute, fanatical devotion.

"Then I will stand firmly behind your throne," she whispered, her fingers locking tightly around his hand. "My ice, my domain... and my future belong entirely to your ledger."

Crack!.

Before the intimate, romantic warmth could linger any further, the tactical console cut through the air with a piercing alert. The tracking beam from the demon sector had reached maximum density, tearing a massive, bleeding crimson rift directly over the palace spire.

"Spatial anchors stabilized!" Ye-rin shouted, her steel-gray eyes flashing. "Min-jae! The drop path is open! We are dropping straight onto their central coordinates!"

The shyness vanished from Min-jae’s face in an instant, replaced by a cold, predatory focus. He gripped the heavy hilt of the space-cutting claymore on his shoulder, his eyes flashing with a commanding golden light.

"Vanguard line, position!" Min-jae commanded flatly.

Yoo Ji-a sprinted to his right flank, her long ponytail swaying as her newly upgraded Sub-Divine Twilight Calamity Piercer spear hissed with white-hot solar friction. Kang Chae-yeon roared as her Asura Absolute Domain multiplied her raw muscle mass, her claymore crackling with pure destructive force. Han Seo-yoon, Lady Crimson, and the Vance sisters locked their positions behind him, while Gu Bylai stood tightly pressed against his chest flank.

"Spatial Void Phase," Min-jae murmured.

Voom.!

Space across the entire 123-story Imperial Haven completely fractured like brittle glass. In a fraction of a millisecond, the air imploded with a massive vacuum pop, and the fortress vanished from the Fifth Sky, dropping straight down the tracking beam into the pitch-black core of the Abyssal Demon Sector.

They materialized directly inside the stratosphere of a dying, ash-covered planet. Surrounding their drop coordinates was a colossal planetary armada of over sixty thousand demonic battleships, their massive iron hulls lining the horizon like a black wall. Sitting atop a floating mountain of jagged world-iron in the center of the armada was The Supreme Demon Overlord (Level 55 World Boss), his twelve burning crimson eyes locking straight onto the sudden spatial intrusion.

"Mortal scum!" the Overlord’s voice boomed across the vacuum, tearing the tectonic rifts below. "You dare to breach my home ?!"

"Ye-rin, drop the shields and release the mechs," Min-jae commanded coolly, stepping to the edge of the viewing platform with his hands inside his pockets, his Solar Zenith Domain igniting the entire dark atmosphere into a burning mass of white primordial fire. "Let’s see if their master’s throne can survive a single basic reflection loop."

Outside the reinforced viewing deck, the endless armada of sixty thousand demonic battleships formed a dense, overlapping mesh of black iron hulls across the horizon, their primary forward turrets locking their intercontinental targeting rays straight onto the skyscraper’s structural core.

Floating at the center of the mechanical blockade was the Supreme Demon Overlord (Level 55 World Boss). His mountainous, twenty-foot-tall frame was constructed out of raw, jagged obsidian plates that actively bled thick streams of cold shadow ink. Twelve burning crimson optical lenses flared inside his heavy horned helm, his massive, void-forged executioner blade crackling with high-tier conceptual disintegration electricity.

"Mortal scum!" the Overlord’s voice boomed through the vacuum, the sheer acoustic frequency causing the tectonic plates of the dying planet below to fracture violently. "You drop your petty human fortress straight into my central star sector? You think a single invulnerable mirror can withstand the full weight of a mobilized world pantheon?"

Min-jae walked calmly onto the forward viewing deck, his hands casually stuffed inside the pocket segments of his True Vajra Sub-Divine God-Armor. His expression remained entirely flat, his bottomless black eyes reflecting the blinding red target matrixes lining his dark chest plate.

Behind his flank, his core team stood in an ironclad, highly synchronized vanguard line. Yoo Ji-a’s long, midnight-black ponytail swayed in the vacuum wind as she tightly gripped the dark-alloy shaft of her newly upgraded Sub-Divine Twilight Calamity Piercer. Gu Bylai stood directly beside his left shoulder, the sleeveless white silk combat gown highlighting her exceptionally voluptuous hourglass figure and full chest as her icy-blue eyes locked onto the enemy fleet with an unshakeable, fanatical devotion.

"Ye-rin, drop the external security shields completely," Min-jae commanded flatly, his voice a low, seductive baritone that sent an immediate thrill of anticipation through his team. "Let the mechs anchor their coordinates."

"Shields dropping to absolute zero, Monarch," Major General Shin Ye-rin executed instantly, her fingers blurring across the terminal as the twelve automated Void-Ember Dread-Mechs activated their newly installed gravity wells, pinning the enemy capital ships inside their operational sectors.

"Arrogant cockroach! You drop your own walls?!" the Overlord roared, his twelve crimson lenses flaring with intense, aristocratic disgust. He raised his heavy black blade, channeling the entire mana reserves of the sixty thousand ships into a single, world-ending conceptual point. "All units, execute the Abyssal Core Disintegration! Dissolve their souls down to the baseline data pixels!"

The command tore reality apart. Sixty thousand demonic battleships and the Level 55 World Boss opened fire in a single, simultaneous multi-directional barrage. A colossal, miles-wide pillar of dark matter plasma, high-voltage void-fission lasers, and conceptual soul-disintegration arrays converged directly onto Min-jae’s single, stationary frame. The sheer mass of the incoming cataclysm damage was enough to cleanly slice a planetary sector out of the cosmic map, completely swallowing the upper half of the tower in a blinding, pitch-black explosion of raw elemental destruction.

To the demon empire, it looked as though the mortal heretics had been molecularly deleted from the universal ledger.

But inside the heart of the world-ending blast zone, the reality-breaking calculations of his sub-divine armor trait, Cosmic Indifference, fired off at supersonic velocity.

[Ding! Received 4,800,000 points of High-Tier Soul Disintegration and Abyssal Magic Damage from World Boss.]

[Sub-Divine Trait Active: ’Vajra Ward’ converts 4.8 Million Magic Damage into Physical Impact... Successful.b]

[SSS-Rank Talent Active: ’Eternal Vajra Deity Body’ triggered! Total Damage Negated. Health Pool: 100/100.]

[Sub-Divine Passive Active: ’Vajra Retribution’ triggers 250% True Damage solar amplification!]

[Reflecting 12,000,000 points of True Damage permanently imbued with ’Solar Fracture’!]

A catastrophic, blinding white-hot counter-blast erupted from Min-jae’s skin like an absolute cosmic supernova. The 12,000,000 points of True Damage didn’t travel like a standard projectile; it manifested as an instantaneous, conceptual space-fracture that locked directly onto the soul cores of the sixty thousand battleships through the dark matter trajectories.

What followed was an absolute, instantaneous planetary mass-suicide.

The 12 million points of True Damage completely ignored their heavy iron plates, deep abyssal shields, and high-tier level-based damage reduction metrics. In less than a fraction of a millisecond, the sixty thousand demonic battleships violently exploded outward from the inside out in a gruesome display of fracturing steel and collapsing engines. The entire multi-directional armada was completely, flawlessly dismantled into a clean cloud of white experience particles before a single piece of scrap could touch the ground.

The Supreme Demon Overlord let out a choked, deafening mechanical shriek as his twenty-foot obsidian frame began to crack open from the inside out. The Solar Fracture trait instantly ignited his underlying life-force, burning away his divine mana pool by 5% every single millisecond.

"g-gahhhh! What kind of monstrous immunity is this?!"

The Overlord fell heavily to his knees onto his crumbling mountain of world-iron, his twelve crimson lenses flickering wildly as his massive life bar hit absolute zero, turning him into a giant pile of premium system gold and high-tier world loot chests right before Min-jae’s boots.

The entire massive Abyssal Demon Sector fleet had been completely, molecularly erased from the multiverse ledger in less than three seconds without scratching a single window of the palace.

Voom!.

Han Chae-won ran out to the edge of the viewing platform, her face flushed with an absolute, fanatical exhilaration as she raised her small hands toward the ash sky. "The supreme demon treasury is officially ours, boss! Global Spatial Devour!"

A colossal, sweeping wave of purple spatial energy rippled outward from her petite body, cleanly vacuuming up the millions of gold coins, sixty thousand shattered flagship cores, fifty high-tier divine skill books, and the massive, glowing World Overlord Core floating over the crater straight into her infinite stasis storage, leaving the entire sector pristine and spotless.

[Ding! You have eliminated the Level 55 Supreme Demon Overlord! Gained 500,000 exp!]

[Global Announcement Triggered: Player ’Min-jae’ has permanently purged the Abyssal Demon Sector on Day 1! The Multiverse Portal to the Higher Heavens is now permanently unsealed!]

[You have leveled up! You are now Level 24!]

Min-jae stood amidst the cascading golden experience notifications, his armor completely clean, his hands remaining casually inside his pocket segments. He turned his deadpan obsidian eyes back toward his seven stunning queens and their new ally, Gu Bylai, all of whom were standing in an absolute, breathless silence, their minds completely short-circuited by the casual deletion of a Level 55 World Boss.

"The cleanup is finished," Min-jae murmured, his voice a low thunderclap that echoed through the empty dark sector. He looked back toward the inner sanctuary where Liu Xiao’s nature cocoon was pulsing gently under his palace shields. "Ye-rin, set the coordinates back to our private sector coordinates. The team is entering temporary downtime. We prep our individual parameters before we breach the Higher Heavens."
