Henry shouted loudly at this point, "Enough! You two, are you even listening to me?"
Not just him, the demon residing in the boy's body, who was being treated as a meal, also couldn't help but feel angry.
He was Trigon's most capable demon, and now he was actually being treated as a small fry that could be easily extinguished?
Could this be tolerated?
"You're the ones who are truly enough! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
The demon roared, and balls of Hellfire filled with terrifying energy surged, their immense heat and power knocking Henry away.
Seeing this, Dawn quickly created an energy wave, attempting to block the flames. However, she had only recently acquired her powers and was unfamiliar with her abilities.
After only a few seconds of resistance, the fragile shield was on the verge of collapse.
However, just then, Aaron placed one hand on Raven and lightly tapped with the other, a red glow entering the boy's body, accompanied by a terrified scream. A red demonic phantom was struck out by the light, and under the influence of some invisible force, it was forcibly compressed into a red crystal. It was somewhat similar to the ruby on Raven's forehead.
This was the Dark Seal, a power from Raven.
"So… so strong." Dawn murmured to herself.
Her object of admiration had originally been Henry, but at this moment, it was quietly replaced by another figure.
Aaron picked up the ruby and handed it to Raven, who examined it carefully, realizing more and more how familiar it felt.
Just like… the gem on her forehead.
"I've fulfilled your request, you know. It's time for you to fulfill mine." Aaron chuckled.
Raven suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
She tried to change the subject, "What kind of power does this ruby have? It's somewhat similar to a magic seal, why does it look so…"
Aaron said, "Familiar? It should be familiar, this is the magic you know. I understood the general principle just by looking at it. What do you think of my move?"
"Very good, I mean, even more skilled and powerful than me."
Raven did not hold back her praise, she was speaking truthfully. Although she inherited many abilities from Trigon, she was not proficient in them at the moment. The power she had currently unearthed was not even half of its full potential.
If she could unearth all of it, even if she couldn't defeat Trigon, it would be enough to resist his invasion of Earth.
Adding to that, they shared the same origin. If handled correctly, she might even be able to permanently seal Trigon.
Raven breathed a sigh of relief, Aaron had finally been distracted.
However, just as she thought this, she saw Aaron take out his phone and start operating it.
Raven had a bad premonition. "What are you doing?"
"Looking for a hotel, of course."
Aaron said matter-of-factly, "While the woods are nice, it's even better if we can find a suitable hotel."
!!!
Raven fell silent.
Seeing Aaron's determined expression, she was a bit dumbfounded.
Although if the object was Aaron, there would be no loss.
But…
Raven emphasized, "Let's be clear, we're just…"
Aaron quickly replied, "I know, I'll just rub. I definitely won't go in."
Raven opened her mouth, wasn't it agreed that it was limited to touching? How did it escalate to rubbing?
"I say… who exactly are you two?!"
Henry stumbled out of the shattered ruins, his face clouded as he looked at Aaron and Raven.
These two guys are too much!
They're looking down on me!
Aaron still didn't spare him a glance, while Raven's eyes glowed a faint red, shimmering with an eerie light.
Henry immediately became alert.
Raven, as if scanning their auras, shook her head coldly and said, "They have nothing to do with him. It seems it was just a coincidence."
"However, they contain another kind of external power. Perhaps it's a special entity?"
Aaron didn't even lift his head and said, "They are the two great magical entities, Lord of Order and Lord of Chaos. Dawn is the spokesperson for Order, representing Order, and is a member of the friendly faction. Henry is the spokesperson for Chaos and needs a little attention, because Chaos, you know."
Raven nodded upon hearing this. "I'll keep an eye on him."
"Damn it!"
Henry was shaking with anger at their words and actions. Ignoring Dawn's attempts to stop him, he strode over to stand in front of them.
"You two guys... I am me, not some damn Chaos!"
"Don't think that just because you dealt with a tiny demon that you're all that. This city belongs to us, and you're not welcome here."
"Hall, they are not enemies!"
Dawn tried to stop him, but Henry flung her arm away. "Enough, you rookie! Whose side are you on, speaking up for them?!"
"Don't forget, you're still in your probationary period. Don't lecture me, you're not qualified, understand?"
"If it happens again, go back home to your mommy. Don't drag me down!"
Henry was already very displeased with Dawn. The Dove in his mind was still his younger brother, Donald. Even though Dawn had gained the same power as his brother and received divine recognition, that didn't mean he was willing to acknowledge her.
He had always been reckless and irritable. Previously, his brother could restrain him, but now that his brother was dead, he not only didn't improve but became even worse.
The power of the Lord of Chaos is not so easy to control.
Dawn's face alternated between green and pale. She just wanted to fight crime, why did it turn out like this?
Aaron paused slightly, looked up and glanced at the two, then let out a scoff.
"You, are you mocking me?" Henry's sharp gaze came over.
"What kind of look is that? Are you looking at trash?"
Aaron nodded. "Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
"Shit, you f*cking..."
Henry reached out to give the other party a piece of his mind.
However, Aaron made no other movement. Clusters of black shadowy tentacles suddenly surged from behind him, forming a gaping dark abyss. Before Henry could react, it swallowed him whole.
Henry's last conscious moment was utter darkness, and then...
[Chaos Magic Remnant: You have acquired some powers of the Lord of Chaos.]
[Chaos Magic (Wanda Chaos Magic + Entropy Power + Chthon's Power...): You have mastered Chaos Magic, the concept of Chaos. You can destroy everything, including the Multiverse itself.]
Excellent, Chaos Magic has grown stronger again.
It's just a pity that the DC Lord of Chaos was merely a representative of Chaos who had acquired some power from the Upside-Down Man—their status was not particularly high.
However, Aaron successfully broke through the Multiverse barrier in one fell swoop, becoming a Super-Cosmic level deity. His Chaos Magic was elevated to Super-Cosmic level first, but his actual combat strength far exceeded the limits of this level.
Aaron could sense the vast, destructive power of Chaos within him.
The entropy of the entire world was celebrating the birth of the new king, manifesting in reality as countless bizarre earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
And in the distant starry sky, many stars in a state of extinction died, or transformed into black holes, devouring everything around them.
Supernova explosions were prematurely triggered one by one.
The probability of star collisions greatly increased.
It seemed as if the entire universe was moving from order towards destruction.
Even the rules of this universe had been broken by Chaos, showing signs of heading towards a doomsday fate.
After the initial surge in Chaos Magic, Aaron realized that this power was too vast, and even the power balance within his body was subtly disrupted.
However, he could still control this power. His physique was strong enough, and his other powers were not insignificant, still able to contend with the suddenly increasing Chaos Magic.
"What's wrong with you?"
Raven snapped back to reality. She felt no aversion to Aaron killing Henry, but rather sensed the terrifying dark aura that instantly surged from within Aaron.
That was an ultimate terror, surpassing Trigon, surpassing everything.
"It's nothing, I just need a little help from Miss Dawn."
Aaron looked at the still dazed Dawn, then suddenly appeared beside her, taking a strand of her hair and devouring it.
[Order Magic Remnant: You have acquired some powers of the Lord of Order.]
[Order Power (Order Magic + Negative-Entropy Power + God of Magic...): You have mastered the concept of Order, the cornerstone of cosmic stability. The more stable the world, the greater its quantity.]
As the Power of Order strengthened, the Chaos and Order within Aaron's body barely regained balance.
In fact, the Power of Order Aaron wielded was not as strong as Chaos Magic, because Chaos Magic had integrated a top-tier Marvel power—Chaos Magic.
This power created a huge chasm between the two.
However, Aaron's other powers could now easily support the Power of Order, allowing the two to achieve balance.
The most significant contributor among them was the inconspicuous Galactus's Power.
The incomplete version of Galactus's Power Aaron obtained from Galacta, though not in its complete form, represented the cosmic rule of balance and was a type of Balance Power.
If Order was strong, then it would automatically shift to Devouring to maintain balance.
If Chaos was strong, it would, in turn, transform into Order to maintain justice and peace.
This is also why Galactus always dies in various major events.
Balance Power always made him appear at the necessary moment, attempting to turn the tide.
But as for the outcome... those who know, know.
While Galactus always appears when needed, many times he's just a sacrificial lamb.
Although this power was incomplete, combined with Devouring Power and Creator's Power, it could easily make Chaos Magic behave.
As balance was restored, Negative-Entropy Power began to subtly act upon the entire universe.
The world, which was originally heading towards its end, was once again twisted back onto its normal path.
The active entropy quickly settled down, and even showed signs of decreasing.
The rapidly expanding, scorching universe was as if doused with cold water, and also calmed down.
The light of the stars became even more dazzling and the complex, chaotic stars returned to their original orbits, each performing its own function.
The various natural disasters that had suddenly become active on Earth also quickly subsided, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Even the crime rates in various countries and major cities decreased.
Especially in crime-ridden cities like Gotham, the crime rate first surged, and various villains temporarily decided to cause a big commotion.
But as soon as they stepped out, they saw Batman sweep by, and they quickly calmed down, deciding to sleep on it first.
The surging crime rate plummeted, as if everyone had entered sage mode tonight.
The fluctuations of Chaos Magic and Order Power even affected Trigon, the extra-dimensional demon lord located outside reality.
"What?! Ten sacrificial rituals failed almost simultaneously? What happened? Weren't they just saying things were going well and the situation was flourishing?"
Trigon angrily picked up a small demon, his four large red eyes spewing scorching flames.
Just a moment ago, his pawns, left on Earth long ago, had all simultaneously begun sacrificial rituals.
And the feedback was very smooth. His demon subordinates were already on the verge of stepping into the real world through the portal opened by the ritual.
He was close to having them bring Raven back to him, and then conquer Earth. However, this situation lasted for less than a minute. The previously smooth rituals were almost simultaneously interrupted by various problems.
Either they were crushed by divine retribution from above, or distracted by beautiful women leading to power supply interruptions and failure, or heart palpitations or sudden cardiac arrest caused the ritual leader to faint.
Even those demons of his who had one foot in the portal lost their legs or half their bodies due to the ritual's interruption.
All of this seemed like the Goddess of Fate was playing a little joke on him.
First giving him hope, and then cruelly trampling that hope underfoot.
"My Lord, I don't know!"
The bull-headed "little demon" being held trembled.
However, before he could finish speaking, Trigon easily crushed his head like a watermelon.
"Goddesses of Fate, it must be you bitches. Once I dominate the far reaches of reality, I will definitely do you a hundred times."
