Chapter 177 - This System Is Mine!
-----
The internal fight of God against Noah continued as it intensified even more.
Iris emerged within this black space, quickly realizing that the enemy they needed to defeat or fend off was this enormous white hand emerging from the boundaries of Noah\'s soul.
This was an invader that was trying to take away a floating, blue-colored cube. If Noah was trying to protect this so much, it was indeed something important.
Even more, as she realized that it had a faint feeling of something, as if it made her think about something, but she couldn\'t easily connect the dots as fast as Noah could.
Alongside her Soul Beast, which emerged within this black space when she infused her soul inside of Noah\'s body, which resembled a large quadruped monster with large and thin claws and made completely out of dark blue phantom and nether cold flames, the Soul beasts of everyone else had also appeared.
Arthur\'s Soul Beast was the giant twisting worm covered on a sticky and slimy poisonous substance with a spiraling mouth possessing many razor-sharp teeth.
The worm began to entangle the hand and it used its corrosive soul poison to melt away a speck of the white hand\'s ethereal energy while using the sharp teeth to grind and bite through the incredibly hard exterior. Arthur continued to infuse more corrosive poison, while constantly unleashing large amounts of it from the worm\'s grotesque mouth.
Timassa\'s Soul Beast was the giant falcon made of black thunder, which flapped its long and thundering wings and attacked the large hand with its sharp talons and powerful beak attacks, alongside strong thunder shocks generated by the falcon\'s screeches.
Jon\'s Soul Beast was the large mass of eyes and tentacles, which charged powerful beams from its various eyes, these beams dealt strong curse effects for a few seconds, but the beast continued to attack relentlessly, slowly damaging an area of the large hand and arm!
Adamantine\'s Soul Beast was the one that was rampaging the most, resembling a giant wolf made of abyssal shadows with two glowing crimson eyes and long claws, the beast howled angrily as it used its gigantic maw to ravage and bite the large enemy!
Clementina\'s Soul Beast was the beautiful and gigantic unicorn made of ice, galloping through the darkness and reaching the large, white-colored arm made of light, as it used its long spear-shaped horn to pierce through the arm and the hand!
Alongside this, the souls of all the Robots were like small humanoid figures, jumping over the hand and slowly biting it! Although it wasn\'t much, they were helping a bit!
Sakura, Sugar, and Noire souls were yet to develop into the ones such as Iris and the rest, but they combined their strengths and did great amounts of damage!
Any damage they could do, even if it were to be the smallest of wounds was crucial! Noah needed as much help as possible.
However, it wasn\'t as if Noah would let his subordinates do all the work!
Fueled by the energy and mana he regained by drinking ridiculous amounts of blood, his soul felt slightly revitalized, and it began to extend its long tentacles, as large jaws opened from them, biting the large hand!
"Soul Devour!"
Noah used the only Skill that could actually work in this situation, Soul Devour!
Soul Devour gave Noah the power to break souls, and also eat them to gain power from them!
Now that there was such a juicy piece of divine soul right in front of him, he was not going to miss the opportunity to take a bite on God himself!
His Soul Tentacles kept extending all around God\'s hand, breaking apart the hard light skin, and cracking it! Slowly, cracks began to emerge around everywhere he touched, the large arm made of God\'s Divine Power was being slowly cracked and about to shatter like glass!
Crack… crack!
God\'s hive-minds roared in pain and anger, as they were being stopped by a mere mortal!
They couldn\'t believe how weak they were to be reduced to such a point, they had really spent most of their power-saving the world from being completely consumed by the Miasma Wave, and they lacked enough power to directly kill Noah or something, they were already doing a lot by taking away the System from him.
Unless they wanted to waste more energy unnecessarily and end up blasting away an entire Sector filled with strong and innocent people, they wouldn\'t be able to descend!
Noah kept biting the hand of the divine creator, monstrously like a mad dog!
God and his minds were shaken!
"Stop at once you mortal!"
"How dare you fight against us like this?!"
"We want to protect this world from your menace, yet you dare oppose us?!"
"We are God! You can\'t oppose God!"
"I told you that we shouldn\'t have done this!"
"He is someone that could help us, yet you try to take away his powers, of course, he would try to defend himself!"
"Idiots, fools, stop this at once if you don\'t want to receive even more damage than before!
"B-But Excalibur!"
"Forget about that stupid sword no one cares about!"
"RAAARRGH!"
God\'s minds became complete chaos!
Some began to change their minds and wanted to back down after getting attacked so much, while others only grew more furious!
Noah, however, kept attacking the large light hand alongside his subordinates, using all the power they could muster!
Crack, crack…!
The hand began to crack, as large pieces of it started to fall over the floor of this black space, being quickly eaten by Noah, who distributed the power to the rest!
Like this, they began to slowly use the power of God against it, even if it was but a mere hand made by a speck of their divine soul!
However, as if furious, the hand continue pushing forward, until it touched the System Cube!
"Nnnnggh…!" groaned Noah, as he felt a sharp pain across his entire being!
The Gods hive-mind laughed, as they managed to reach their goal!
"Hahaha! You fool!"
"Grab his power, quickly!"
"Leave him without anything!"
"And then we\'ll do the same with all of his subordinates!"
"Know the wrath of God!"
Noah, however, smiled!
"Fools... Did you really think I wouldn\'t prepare something? …The Cube was just floating there, who would even expose such a glaring weakness like that without having something prepared?" said Noah, as they suddenly realized that the cube quickly turned… completely red!
God was shaken once more!
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"What… is this?!"
"His Status Cube… it has become completely corrupted?!"
"This System is mine!" laughed Noah, by using his soul and the power he got from eating tiny bits of God, he managed to take over the System Cube! In fact, he was spending most of his power on doing that, and asked his allies to distract god while doing so!
It wasn\'t anything complicated, and that Noah managed to completely corrupt it was all thanks to God himself, who revealed the exact ubication of the System Cube to Noah!
It was as easy as doing the same thing he did with Excalibur, and infected the cube with his soul, parasitizing it and eating it from the inside out!
The Blood Core glowed brightly, as it took over the System Cube, but it kept greedily and voraciously eating away… suddenly, even God\'s hand began to slowly turn crimson red!
And this was the second time that God screamed in agony.
