Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System Chapter 495 - Clap!

"What?"
Aurelia questioned, her tone laced with irritation and fury rather than mere shock. The secret persona of Asaemon was no mystery to her anymore.
In truth, she had forged the essence and
being of Abomination through the sacrifice of her Seed of Earth; moreover, she had selected Asaemon for that role.
Everything stemmed from solid motives, yet now it all felt like it was crumbling away from her grasp.
"I shouldn't have sealed away all my memories." She grumbled under tight control of her anger, shutting her eyes in a futile bid to soothe her nerves.
"What drove him to that decision?" Aurelia wondered, "Asaemon isn't an idiot, regardless of his laid-back nature. He understood that trading his Soul was the gravest mistake possible. Then why?"
{No choice.} Sky replied in a relaxed drawl, {At the very least, Lilith's Firstborn ensured no alternatives were offered to him. Had Asmodeus been present, things might have unfolded otherwise. The First Son of Sin understood his Soulbeast's cravings and desires better than anyone.}
"Where's Asaemon's personal Soulbeast?"
{Held by Lilith's Firstborn, naturally. Are you unaware, or are your recollections still hazy, Earth? Have you overlooked the aim of Lilith's Firstborn?}
"Jog my memory." Aurelia exhaled wearily, "I've forsaken my duties for countless ages. And remember, I'm not fully restored yet. Forgetting details is inevitable for me."
Sky paused for a moment before resuming in a steady, lowering tone,
{The Firstborn yearns to become complete again. And the sole path to completeness is...}
"To unite the two offspring of Sin into a single entity rather than separate ones." Aurelia finished, her eyes widening in realization.
{Exactly. Asmodeus and Asaemon represent opposite facets of the identical token. They started as twins. Or more accurately, they were meant to be.}
Aurelia lifted her hand to rub her temple, a fierce migraine building up. Events were piling on rapidly; occurrences that were never destined to transpire.
Her newly roused consciousness found it all too much to bear.
And in the midst of this chaos...
"Noah," Aurelia whispered, her gaze sharpening, "Where's Noah?" {Spirit World.}
Her eyebrows knitted together, her expression twisting in deep concern,
"Still there?" Her tone dripped with disbelief, "How-!"
{Mother drew him into some kind of scheme. He's confronting an entity...I'd prefer not to reveal. That's beyond your concern now.}
"How much longer before his return?" She inquired, "You can at least share that with me?"
{The Prince's Path eludes our sight and foresight these days. Yet his return draws near.}
Finally, a veiled reverence colored Sky's voice.
{Chaos reigns in the Primus Universe. Numerous concealed betrayers and alien entities snoop about without restraint, while the locals remain oblivious to their presence. His entry will be a breath of fresh air.}
"Will he be prepared?"
{You understand that better than anyone, right?} Sky's inflection grew tense abruptly, {Otherwise, you wouldn't have woven your Existence threads among the
three of you.}
{Honestly, what crossed your mind, Earth?}
Aurelia responded with a mere grin, "You know the one thing I've pursued from the start. Something beyond your power to provide."
Sky's tone carried scorn, {A family. One rivaling the stature of the Four Ruling Races. You're chasing illusions. It's unattainable, exceptional as The Prince may be.}
"Time will tell."
{But why those two?}
Aurelia offered the slightest shrug in reply, her eyes drifting shut,
"Why not?"
...
Meanwhile, within her domain, Gaia gazed upon the Spirit World, her mouth forming a broad, triumphant grin.
"He actually pulled it off." Heboric's voice resounded everywhere, tinged with
a hint of astonishment.
"Didn't I say so?" Gaia's conceited reply grated on Heboric in an unusual way, "My boy always twists every circumstance to serve him." "There's a term for that behavior." Heboric scoffed, "Shall I spell it out for you, Gaia?"
"Bottle up your opinions, Heboric." She dismissed him with a flick of her wrist, "and allow me to concentrate on-!"
Gaia suddenly went quiet, her eyes bulging wide, her chin
nearly hitting the floor.
Heboric's confusion hung in the air, invisible yet palpable.
He shifted his gaze to where Gaia stared and spotted the Pale Lady and Noah emerging from the consciousness realm.
Noah's features held a stunning allure, adorned with a sly smirk.
Clearly, trouble was brewing from him.
Yet Gaia's attention wasn't on him. She fixed her stare on the Pale Lady,
specifically her finger.
That's when Heboric caught on.
"LOGOS's blessing..." he swore, a chill racing through his
shriveled core, "...this can't be real? Gaia...this can't be real...?"
Gaia offered no response. Her thoughts remained locked on the sight and its potential consequences if accurate.
"I fixed one issue..." Gaia murmured, squeezing her eyes shut to
keep from losing her sanity over her own offspring, "...and he's gone and spawned a new headache for me."
Her statement hit Heboric, confirming the reality at last.
"I knew it." He muttered, heaving a sigh, "Kids bring nothing but chaos. My smartest choice ever was vowing to steer clear of having any."
For the first time after endless years...
"You're spot on there."
...Gaia concurred with Heboric.
She collapsed to the floor, bracing for the imminent touch from the
Pale Lady.
'Ah...Raj...'
"Hahahahah!"
Noah let out a hearty guffaw upon materializing in the Principality's heavens,
Diatah beside him, her tattoo radiating light.
Her aura swiftly blanketed the entire Principality, sending shivers across the flesh of everyone within.
Not a second was squandered.
"Time to start, darling!" Noah shouted, and then...
CLAP-!
Diatah brought her palms together with a thunderous smack that echoed across the realm.
With that sound, Noah vanished, reappearing before his wives. They gazed at him in bewilderment.
"Missed me?" He grinned, then seized the shattered crimson Tower of Light
and Love,
"Hold on just a bit longer while I wrap things up in the Tree of Ashes." He
declared, syncing his clap with Diatah's,
CLAP-!
His wives vanished into the Tree of Ashes, as did he again; only this time, he emerged in a domain of flames and
obscurity.
His sudden presence forced Idalia Marigold and Shadow to freeze their battle, their eyes locked on Noah positioned recklessly amid them. Both females bore severe injuries, breaths coming in gasps,
forms oozing blood from every angle.
Noah scanned the area, bypassing them, quickly locating Shadow's fractured Tower.
It lurked within that foggy cluster of Shadow.
Without delay, Noah stood before her, his blessing halting time entirely. His arm lashed out, plunging straight
into Shadow.
The Soul Ruler let out a sharp intake of breath.
Clutching the damaged Tower, Noah yanked it free from her grasp, drawing a pained cry from the Soul Ruler's lips.
"You-!"
"Light hit the mark." Noah remarked, his brows lifting as he eyed
Shadow, "You remind me of Elira. Most peculiar."
"Elira?" Shadow faltered, "Where-!"
Her speech cut off as ash-forged chains burst from the fabric of existence, binding both the swearing Idalia and Shadow.
"No chatting now, miss." He stated, then clapped in flawless harmony with
Taraji.
CLAP-!
The pair of women shifted to the Tree of Ashes' interior. Noah, on the other hand, blinked out and reappeared in the skies next to Diatah, the shards of the ruined Tower hovering before
him.
"Planning to claim the authority with these?" Taraji queried, her palms frozen in clap form.
"Indeed." Noah affirmed, "Though the Origin Will might intervene if I try the ritual like this. Thus, as discussed, I require you to obliterate the whole Principality!" He shot her a look and a grin, "Merely to distract it while I complete my task."
Taraji gave a slight dip of her head, staring ahead, "You'd best hurry then."
She flashed a icy smile, her palms igniting with a fierce ghostly glow, "This strike will outpace the last."
Noah echoed her grin, "I'm set, darling."
"Alright then..."
Diatah's eyes flared brighter. Noah's mouth opened,
"Here we g―!" CLAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP—!
In a terrifying flash, the entire Principality burst into ashes.
