Speed Is King

"Hmmmm?" The God of Greed, Maruk frowned lightly as he felt a strangely refreshing infusion of power. "Some gods are feeling extremely greedy. I wonder who? Judging by this power infusion… These are truly some powerful gods."

He was curious over what those gods found, but alas there was absolutely no way he could trace the power infusions he just received.

He could only enjoy the boost and resume his greedy daily activities of enjoying his millions of lives as the richest beings in various universes.

Baltamiros gulped as he thought of the implications Elliot's wild idea had on him.

"There is a limit, of course. I can't actually make an endless amount of this Universe of Runes thing. Space itself can't contain so much energy. But to reach the capacity of Space… I can make at least ten, no, fifteen Universe of Runes on top of each other!!" Baltamiros was completely shocked at the audacity and the sheer greediness of Elliot's latest creative idea.

And as ideas went, it was spectacular.

Baltamiros shivered lightly in anticipation of what he was about to do.

His liquefied power was already a complete monstrosity compared to the little kittens that were all the other gods.

If he were to manipulate his power according to the Ultimate Universe of Runes…

Baltamiros shivered once more in deep seated excitement, and immediately went to work.

And once more, the days passed by serenely and very peacefully.

Even before they completed what they set out to do, both of them had reached extreme levels of power in their respective benchmarks, Baltamiros as a god, and Elliot as a being of the higher planes.

But peaceful days weren't meant to last, especially not in that particular situation with a pissed off Ganruk still lurking about.

"Hmmm. It's Elliot's game master from before? Sneaky bastard. He guessed correctly that I am a god, and he is lurking just outside the maximum range of a normal god's range." Baltamiros thought to himself as his senses picked up a familiar scent. "Too bad for him I am not anywhere close to being normal!"

Baltamiros paused for a moment to consider if he should lay waste to that bastard, but he quickly decided against it as he thought of a better way to make use of him and his buddies.

"He has brought some friends along with him too. Let's see. Hoo… An apostle? Of which god, I wonder. Judging by his attire, probably some pompous god of Light. To think he actually got an apostle to try and drive me away. He really wants to secure Elliot huh?

And not just an apostle, he even brought a Grade Six Summoner and Grade Five Elementalist!"

He glanced at Elliot who had successfully completed two full Universe of Runes within his body, and was about to start on his third.

"The Grade Six Summoner would be doable. But the Grade Five Elementalist is still slightly too difficult for him to overcome. Perfect. If he can't even fight slightly above his level, he has no business being a candidate for my Apostleship." Baltamiros grinned to himself. "The apostle of that god of Light is probably going to be pretty much untouchable. I guess I have to hold him in place while Elliot is fighting."

Baltamiros did not even put Ganruk into any form of consideration, so low was his power level compared to Elliot!

If Ganruk were to know of Baltamiros and his train of thought, he would probably puke blood. It wasn't too long ago that he was able to squash Elliot like squashing a bug.

In such a short period of time, he had transformed from untouchable to unworthy!

"Hey. Don't start on your third Universe of Runes yet. There's a bunch of people nearby which you're probably very interested in. Why don't you go and say hi." Baltamiros said to Elliot and pointed right at where Ganruk and his buddies were hiding.

"Hmmm? That Ganruk bastard is back with friends?" Elliot raised his eyebrow and smiled with pleasure.

He stirred his energy across his Twin Universes and felt a vast flood of soul infused energy rush through his body, far, far more powerful and potent than he could ever imagined.

Compared to the peak strength that he had before his rebirth, it was like the engine of a massive rocket compared to a small birthday candle.

It truly was a satsifying moment for Elliot.

But he remembered the sense of invincibility that Ganruk gave off when he first interacted with him, and Elliot suddenly felt a spark of bloodlust ignite in his heart.

Voooooshhh!!!!

A frightful killing intent developed around Elliot and caused vast amounts of normal life forms to shrivel and die. Plants withered on the spot as soon as they came into contact with the sheer power that Elliot was exuding.

"Good." Baltamiros grunted in approval. He effortlessly produced a clone and got it to leap ahead towards Ganruk. "My clone will hold down the apostle which is way above your paygrade. You deal with the other two."

"Get your clone to stand down." Elliot said lazily as he sent his own clone to leap forward after Baltamiros'. "You're referring to the four of them hiding right beyond that tiny blue planet right? I can handle all of them by myself."

Baltamiros glanced at Elliot in surprise.

"He can sense the four of them? Does that mean that he is at the level of a god?" Baltamiros checked Elliot's power, and confirmed that he was still a huge distance away.

"You can sense them?" Baltamiros asked Elliot curiously.

"I can't." Elliot said simply. "But he can."

Space shimmered slightly from around Elliot, and revealed a huge bunch of slim but powerful looking beasts led by a handsome, darkhaired Specter Wolf.

His eyes were glowing gold, and a thin smile was upon his face.

"Greetings, God of Ages. My name is Kai, Elliot's Chaos Apostle." Kai said with a deep bow.

"Suppp God of Ages!"

"Hello! You look really strong! Nice to meet you!"

"Greetings."

"God of Ages, how strong are you?"

"I know a dude like you once. He died really young. Are you his spirit-turned-god?"

A chorus of greetings exploded from all of them.
