The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

The Dark Prince Hell Art was a technique steeped in a curse. In fact, the entire technique was a curse. The being who bestowed it upon Karsha was a true maniac, one who found entertainment in the suffering of others.

Over the years, countless innocents have fallen prey to this ploy. They sought powerful techniques, only to encounter a sadist who thrived on their misery.

The Dark Prince himself was a powerful entity who rose to prominence hundreds of thousands of years ago. Emerging from the ashes of a ruined world, he ascended to the pinnacle of power.

Rumor had it that during his peak, a Demon King offered him the position of Demon Lord. Surprisingly, the Dark Prince declined—a position that could have cemented him as an unchallengeable powerhouse. But despite rejecting such a potent offer, no one dared to come after him or plot against him.

He was that powerful, and much of his formidable reputation stemmed from his go-to technique—the Dark Prince Hell Art. This technique, which comprised nine levels, was a heaven-splitting attack that no one in their right mind would dare confront.

It was said that during the Dark Invasion, the Dark Prince single-handedly cleared a Tier 14 gate while he was just at the Expert stage (Tier 12). Yes, he killed a Tier 14 Terror World Boss while being merely an Expert stage cultivator.

Though others had achieved similar feats, they had to use all their might to accomplish it. The Dark Prince, however, became legendary because of the manner in which he did it. He killed a Tier 14 Terror World Boss, a significant achievement in itself, but the true shock came from those brave enough to witness the battle.

Many said it was a hard-fought battle, while others claimed he was holding back.

Truth be told, those who witnessed the battle reported that the Dark Prince only activated up to the seventh level of the Dark Prince Hell Art. No one saw the eighth or ninth levels, which were rumored to have the power to shatter an entire world. The fact that he only used the first seven levels was both mind-shattering and mind-numbing.

However, shortly after that invasion, the Dark Prince vanished, leaving everyone wondering where he had gone and when he would return. After years of waiting with no news of the maniac, people eventually gave up searching for him.

Then, about 100,000 years ago, individuals randomly started acquiring the technique coveted by many powerhouses: the first two levels of the Dark Prince Hell Art. This triggered another wave of rumors about the long-lost Dark Prince.

As more people began obtaining the technique, the rumors subsided. However, it was then that many of these individuals started disappearing, never to be heard from again. All who received the technique initially rose to prominence, only to vanish mysteriously, one after the other.

Years passed, and the number of people acquiring the technique dwindled until it completely stopped 10,000 years ago. Since then, no one had gotten lucky—or unlucky—until Karsha broke that deadlock.

He broke 10,000 years of deadlock and became the sole holder of the Dark Prince Hell Art, and perhaps, he would be the last.

However, what no one, not even the Dark Prince, could have anticipated was that the last person to receive the technique had an entirely different plan for how to comprehend and utilize it.

==============

The first level of the Dark Prince Hell Art, known as "Sword Pool," involves creating a pool filled with swords and summoning them based on the wielder's mastery level. In Karsha's case, his current level of mastery allows him to summon only 10 swords. This may seem laughable, but since he has never utilized the skill before, his mastery remains at the F level.

Despite this apparent limitation, Karsha had already devised a plan to master the Dark Prince Hell Art. Traditionally, mastering the skill would depend significantly on his mental and soul strength. While summoning swords might seem straightforward, maintaining the Pool's opening and managing each summoned sword would place a substantial strain on his mental strength.

Undeterred, Karsha was ready to implement his strategy to master the technique. He knew that this journey would be challenging, but he was determined to rise above and unlock the full potential of the Dark Prince Hell Art.

If his mental strength is low, he would essentially be wasting a perfect technique that shook the world years ago.

However, who is Karsha? He possesses both robust soul and mental strength, far exceeding that of the average cultivator. Mastering the skill would be a breeze for him.

But Karsha wasn't one to walk the easy path. No, he intended to wield the strongest version of the technique, even more powerful than its original form.

Karsha had awakened eight powerful elements. Out of these, seven could potentially transform the technique into something extremely formidable.

Take the Yin-Yang Lightning, for example. If he could integrate this lightning into the technique, he would elevate the damage output to the next level. So, what would happen when all elements were added?

Karsha knew he had encountered a rare opportunity, and for the first time and many weeks, he wanted to do things his way and see the outcome. If he manages to incorporate all his elements, then even the first two levels will be enough for him to shake the entire world.

"This will be challenging, but I must do it if I want to rise to the top," Karsha sighed. The path he was about to embark on was perilous and arduous. He didn't know how the original owner of the technique would react to his decision. Deviating from the intended path would undoubtedly infuriate any being, regardless of their might.

However, after careful consideration, Karsha arrived at a singular conclusion.

"Fuck the Dark Prince. He fucked me first, so I'll fuck him back. If he doesn't like it, he can go cry to his mama for all I care."

Karsha stood tall, his shoulders held high. Within a year, he had accomplished something that would take many hundreds of years for others. His growth was explosive, securing his place in the universe as a genius.

From his appearance to his recent connection to the elements, he had indeed come a long way. Once he dealt with the Overlords, he would seek out the remaining levels of the Dark Prince's Hell Art. Once all nine levels were unlocked, Karsha knew he would become one of the prodigies destined to rise to the apex.

"Alright, Mr. Clone, time to get back to business," he commanded. The clone, whose sole purpose was to demonstrate the power and perfection of Karsha's skills, sprang into action.

Instantly, the area within 200 meters of the clone began to darken. The entire space, which only the SSE attack had previously been able to disturb, started to tremble as darkness enveloped the surroundings.

Then it appeared. A large head with a bone crown perfectly set on it began to emerge from the darkness. The head rose, soon followed by its neck, upper body, and finally, its lower body, until it stood imposingly.

The being stood nearly 200 meters tall, its body as dark as obsidian, creating a terrifying overall appearance. The aura emanating from the creature was dense and thick, causing Karsha to break into a cold sweat as he gazed upon the Avatar of the Dark One.

As if that weren't enough, a purple formation appeared above the dark figure, opening into a swirling pool of darkness devoid of any emotion or feeling—a deep, dark vortex.

Suddenly, hundreds of swords began emerging from the swirling pool. Each sword was unique, varying in shape and appearance, but all were long swords.

Karsha watched this unfold with a calm expression. He was analyzing the technique, seeking to understand how he might incorporate the elements into it.

As the swords rained from the pool, the Dark One raised its hand exerting some kind of unknown might into the swords. Within seconds, a crater was created, large enough to swallow two Titanic ships and still leave enough room for ten more cargo planes.

Surprisingly, the clone had used only a C-level mastery of the skill. But that was enough for Karsha to conduct his survey.

"So that's it, huh," Karsha smiled as he finally devised a plan to incorporate the elements into his technique.

"Hahahaha!" He laughed, exhilaration coursing through him. The day of reckoning was nigh as Karsha prepared to transform his already dangerous technique into something even more formidable.
