A Core Ship From The Start

Is this… death?

Yes, this is death.

Standing on the ground, watching Morag’s pitiful state, Duanmu Huai revealed a cold smile. He had guessed what Morag would do. In fact, almost all monsters with immortality enjoyed courting death. After all, for them, death was not destruction, just a part of it.

But what the Destroyer Warrior brought to them was absolute destruction and death. It was precisely because Duanmu Huai was very sure that Morag would not guess this, that he would take the initiative to provoke hatred. As long as Morag gave him a chance to kill himself, he would truly die.

The only downside was that this could only be used once. After all, it is not easy to find these idiots like Morag.

Duanmu Huai could feel the various gazes projected from the Obliteration Domain towards this place. Surprised, terrified, shocked, excited, annoyed — after all, for the Demon Gods, they were witnessing for the first time an existence that could completely kill them. Regardless of Duanmu Huai’s identity, it was clear that these Demon Gods had developed a strong fear of him. At least until they figured out his abilities, these Demon Gods should not dare to bother him.

But now, what Duanmu Huai cares about is the system prompt that appears in front of him.

[Morag Baal is dead!]

[Activating the Destroyer Warrior Ability – Gain Strength +10, Physical Attribute +10, Perception +10, Charm -30… Charm Value is locked, cannot be modified]

What the hell is Charm -30? Although this thing is indeed ugly.

Duanmu Huai spat at the sight of Morag, who had fallen to the ground and had completely turned into a broken stone statue.

Thanks to his locked charm value, he might not even know what he would have turned into.

[Obtained Demon God’s Heart]

[Player has obtained Divine Power – Weak Divine Power]

Weak Divine Power…Well, it’s not surprising.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai’s eyes twitched slightly. In Star Ocean Online, divine powers are divided into strong divine power, medium divine power, weak divine power, and faint divine power.

The representative of strong divine power is the Chaos Evil God, the boss of the whole Milky Way. Medium divine power is already able to spread beliefs across the universe. Weak divine power is basically an indigenous god of a planet.

Faint divine power… it’s basically just some indigenous people who became gods.

Morag, as an indigenous god, is just at this level.

[Random Deific Domain – Locked Domain of Fear]

[Believer Effect – All believers will receive an Intimidation +1 reward]

Ah, this is good.

“If we’re going to die, let’s die together.”

Despite his many grievances towards the Deific Domain of fear, Duanmu Huai was in high spirits.

Indeed, everyone dying together is more comforting than dying alone.

Next up is…….

Thinking about this, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes, looking at the Demon God’s Heart in his hand.

“Sir Knight, what is this?”

By that time, everyone had gathered around Duanmu Huai, curious as to what he was holding. After Morag Baal’s death, the demons scattered and vanished without any trace. Therefore, everyone ended up coming over to Duanmu Huai.

“This is a Demon God’s Heart. By employing it, we can remake this Obliteration Domain and thereby turn me into a Demon God.”

“Eh? Sir Knight, you intend to become a Demon God?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai, Ann was slightly surprised, to which Duanmu Huai simply shrugged.

“Although it sounds like a Demon God, it’s not as grand as it sounds. Just think of it as becoming a more powerful mage with his own similar world domain.”

“Like that……how do we do it?”

“Watch carefully.”

Duanmu Huai was well-versed in remaking Divine Realms, having plenty of experience from the game where any player above the mid-level had their Divine Realms. Duanmu Huai was no exception. New players might be hesitant, but for Duanmu Huai, he just had to copy the blueprint from the game.

Of course, due to the scope of the deity, some adjustments had to be made.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai started to recall the Divine Realm he had created before. Then, he clenched his fist and squeezed forcefully.

“—————————!!!”

The next moment, everyone saw that everything around them seemed to collapse completely. Sands were shifting, the ground was cracking, and the sky was shattering. For a moment, all seemed to vanish completely—————however, at the next moment, the former raging sands disappeared instantly, replaced by an impressively magical scene unfolding before everyone’s eyes.

Gazing around, the original barren land and sky had vanished, replaced by a boundless Milky Way galaxy. A huge star was slowly burning not far away, and the floor beneath their feet had turned into steel flooring and framework.

A majestic Gothic Cathedral Space Station floated in the universe, with three long corridors leading to three smaller space stations in three different directions. Each space station was still the size of a city, and standing there, simply witnessing this spectacle was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

“Well, for now, this should be good.”

Duanmu Huai brushed his hands together and nodded in satisfaction. His planning for the Divine Realm was simple. It started with a main temple and was divided into Alien, Heretic, and Demon, constituting the three Tribunals. Unlike other Demon Gods’ Divine Realms, Duanmu Huai’s was not big. On one hand, his strength was not sufficient to occupy such a large area, and on the other hand, Duanmu Huai did not necessarily need a big Divine Realm.

For Duanmu Huai, the Divine Realm was just a transit point. With this transit point, he had a place for souls to rest. After training here, they could join Duanmu Huai’s Tribunal Legion, wandering and fighting in the Star Ocean.

Simply put, that’s the process.

First, Duanmu Huai would establish a Tribunal faith centered on himself on this continent, then recruit a large number of believers. After the believers died, their souls would go to this “Tribunal Palace” for tempering. Only after their faith was strong enough would they be able to fuse with the Power Armor in spirit form, becoming a member of Duanmu Huai’s Tribunal Legion.

In this way, he won’t have to beg other Demon Gods for cooperation like before, he can handle everything himself!

Yes, Stendar, I’m talking about you! You look down on me, I don’t have to waste my time on you anymore!

Obviously, matters are far from settled.

Even though Morag is dead, as a deity of control and slavery of mortals, his domain naturally has many souls. For now, Duanmu Huai was summoning these enslaved souls that were previously under Morag’s control in batches, asking them about their future plans. The Tribunal needed stalwart, pure believers, not these wretches that Duanmu Huai had no intention of keeping.

So those who wished to leave were directly sent through a portal to other Demon gods or deities. Those who committed heinous acts were thrown into the constant-burning star.

Most of the enslaved souls were overjoyed to find their own deities to worship. Of course, some souls recognized Duanmu Huai’s Tribunal idea and system and actively stayed to serve him.

Among them were, of course, the vampires.

That’s right! After killing Morag, Duanmu Huai naturally got hold of the souls of the enslaved vampires. He had them meet Bambi. The Vampire Queen was naturally shocked and excited to see Bambi. After learning about what had happened from Bambi, the Queen expressed her willingness to stay here and serve the Tribunal on behalf of her clan.

After all, vampires originally had no faith. Even if they leave here, they have nowhere else to go. They could only become wandering spirits.

As for Duanmu Huai, he already had a Divine Realm, the next step was to make a name for it, and then recruit believers and staff.

Fittingly, he already had a target in mind.
