Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner
Chapter 531 The Destruction Priest- Doom Cow!
"Report!" The President of the Nak State ordered.
"Yes, Mr. President". A female Nak Colonel replied.
A virtual screen appeared in the middle of this chamber showing different battlefields where the beasts tyrannically caused chaos and destruction for the rescue of their companions.
"Multiple battle reports have been made across 40% of the planets in our jurisdiction and our stationed navy posts are being overwhelmed".
"Like the self-proclaimed Beast King said, most of their targets are some of the most famous beast consortiums around".
"Most of them already lost all their assets in just a few hours".
"Apart from the beast consortiums, the beasts are unhinged like expected, they are also attacking civilian planets and causing a lot of destruction".
"It seems the ambition of their so-called king goes more than just beasts".
"His end goal seems to be retrieving all animals in the Minerva Star System".
Spreading her hand, this Colonel focused on a footage. "As you can see, this is a civilian planet yet they are already ravaging it to the ground".
"They're taking all beasts, including all domestic animals that have been turned into pets by the residents of this civilian planet".
"Clearly, it's not just beast slavery, they also don't want their companions to serve as pets and is why they're doing all this".
"At the time of speaking, over a dozen planets have already been lost".
"No life can be detected in them and all beasts are gone".
The Colonel looked at everyone present. "Like you would expect, alone, the beasts do not have the capability to do this, the Beast Priests is their greatest help".
"Those Grade A beasts causing havoc?" The President asked.
"Yes, Mr. President".
"Like the Beast King insinuated in his speech, clearly they are his best help and they are the main reason why we were caught so off-guard today".
"9 of these Beast Priests has appeared in our territory today and a further 8 have been reported by the Ackermanns to have appeared in their territory".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Of the 9 in our territory, 7 of them are normal Grade A Beasts like the Crocodile Priest and the others that our Admirals killed decades ago".
"The 8th one is far more specialized, it's a World Camel and he calls himself the Shelter Priest. As big as 2 B29 planets combined and with a space world on it's back, it has enough capacity to carry all the rescued beasts".
The eyes of most of the higher-ups that were present today narrowed when they heard that, they kept on listening.
"All these Beast Priests though are a level lower than the 9th Beast Priest; he calls himself the Destruction Priest!"
"He is a Doom Cow!"
This word made a lot of them frown as the President asked again. "I thought that species became extinct during the cleansing 2 centuries ago?"
"Mr. President, that is what we all saw, all statistics points that he may perhaps be the last survivor of the Doom Cows".
The scene on the screen finally changed again.
This time, it depicted a cow, a cow ripped from head to toe with muscles.
Like most of the other Beast Priests that already made an appearance, this fearsome beast could stand on his 2 feet. He had 2 golden horns that seemed to draw upon the energy of the universe.
Every deep breath from this beast brought out fire from his nose.
His eyes glowed a golden color but it didn't look majestic, it rather looked dangerous, like the perfect depiction of everything known as destruction.
He wore a gold chain round his neck with a glowing golden emblem laying on his chest that seemed to amplify his power with every breath.
He had white and dark blue skin and even his skin color seemed to resonate with his breathing, giving birth to the power of his affinity that passively caused destruction. Yes, literal destruction.
Just standing still, a fierce force field was around this beast that actively destroyed everything around it, annihilating every sign of life.
The unusual energy affinity of this beast annihilated all matter around itself, enabling it to generate even more energy to power himself up.
Most of the higher ups were confused by this strange phenomenon but one of them that attended this meeting through a virtual projection shot up.
Admiral Zhao's eyes widened in shock. "Antimatter energy!"
"This beast actually awakened antimatter energy?!" His voice reeked of pure shock, attracting the attention of everyone present.
The President's eyes narrowed. "What is antimatter energy?"
"Antimatter substance is composed of subatomic particles that have the mass, electric charge, and magnetic moment of the electrons, protons, and neutrons of ordinary matter but for which the electric charge and magnetic moment are opposite in sign".
"One of my greatest research in trying to break my current limits is trying to harness the power of antimatter as an energy source".
"Antimatter energy is the annihilation of matter and antimatter releases energy".
"Speak in simpler terms".
"Yes, Mr. President". Admiral Zhao's eyes narrowed as he looked at this Doom Cow. "When combined with super energy, theoretically, this Doom Cow is what can be seen as an embodiment of destruction".
"He has the ability to destroy all forms of matter around him while paying a great price for it, but antimatter releases energy which replenishes his energy".
"This means that in theory, this beast can keep on destroying forever".
"…!" The higher-ups in attendance shuddered.
"It cannot be stopped?"
"No normal Grade A Super can stop this beast in battle". Admiral Zhao's eyes narrowed even further. "Not even an army of Grade A Supers can theoretically defeat him, his power is a cheat and he is inexhaustible".
"The only way to beat him is either by creating a specific machine that counters his energy affinity or by requesting the help of a Grade S Super!"
"…"
Silence dominated this meeting room.
Like Admiral Zhao said, they confirmed it with their own eyes the next moment as from passive destruction, the Doom Cow finally started active destruction, leaving a wave of total annihilation in his wake.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Mini explosions of black energy erupted from this Doom Cow and they engulfed any matter in the surroundings.
Both grass, sand, flesh, metal, anything called matter in the surroundings was engulfed, turning them into nothingness in a display of total destruction!
"I am Duhkha's rod of war!" The beast roared.
"You all shall bow before the power of destruction!"
The Doom Cow was not just causing chaos like the other Beast Priests. As soon as he appeared, he targeted the regional most powerful outpost of the Nak Navy that was stationed in Planet Cloudy Gaze.
Barging into this planet, all the planetary defense measures of this planet were rendered void as he forced his away through all the defenses.
All the missiles that were launched turned to nothingness as soon as they came into contact with the tyrannical energy oozing out of this Cow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was a literal force of destruction!
Barging his way into the planet, he spread his hands everywhere as mini antimatter bombs were launched everywhere, this Nak outpost saw hell!
BOOM! BOOM!
Every explosion reaped lives and resources from this universe.
The prey didn't even know how they died, they simply faded into nothingness, this scene reminded a certain warrior who was watching of a certain supervillain of his previous life.
Legolas was wide-eyed. 'It's been so long in my previous life when I saw the Destruction Priest but this High Priest still gives Thanos vibes'.
All the higher-ups of the Nak State were gripped by fear for the first time since the speech of the Beast King simply seeing the Destruction Priest in action.
"What are we waiting for? Force all those consortiums to release their beasts! We can't endanger the whole Minerva Star System for them!" One of the higher-ups exploded as he became consumed by his fear.
"Yes, we can't sacrifice the minority for the majority". Another higher-up supported as he looked at the virtual screen with fearful eyes. "It's clear that they are the targets, if possible, let's just give them all to the beasts".
"How are we expected to fight a beast like this?"
As all the higher-ups gave different fearful verdicts, the already stressed Nak President looked at a certain Admiral of his.
Admiral Zhao nodded. "I advise against taking any rash decisions".
"The speech of the Beast King was our first-time hearing from him, he was passionate but terrorists are always passionate. It may be that he lied, it may be that he is after something else entirely".
"In my opinion, let's weather the weight of this first attack to thoroughly understand our opponents before making the right step".
"We'll correlate our experiences with those suffered by the Ackermanns, see if trying to negotiate with the Beast Priest is possible".
"If nothing works, then…" He took a deep breath. "Then we may take the extreme path to end these beasts".
The Nak President nodded. "Do what you want".
He stood up. "I don't want that so-called Priest flexing so much power in my territory". He looked at Admiral Zhao. "Do something about it".
The Admiral saluted. "Understood, Mr. President".
Admiral Zhao looked around. "Admiral Ling, Admiral Kong, Admiral Cheng, Admiral Li, Admiral Gu, follow me, we have a beast to subdue".
The meeting came to an end and they moved instantly.
Bzzz!
6 Nak Admirals arrived in Planet Cloudy Gaze.
