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

"What?"

Aurelia demanded, her voice dripping with irritation and rage far more than any shock. She had long been aware of Asaemon's concealed true nature.

In the end, it was she who had forged the core purpose and

being of Abomination through the sacrifice of her own Seed of Earth; she had also selected Asaemon to embody it.

All for solid motives, naturally, yet now it felt like control was crumbling away from her grasp.

"I shouldn't have sealed away all those memories." She grumbled under tight control, shutting her eyes in a futile bid to steady her nerves.

"What drove him to that decision?" Aurelia questioned, "Asaemon isn't stupid, regardless of his laid-back ways. He understood that trading his Soul was the gravest mistake possible. So what pushed him?"

{No options left.} Sky replied in a relaxed drawl, {Lilith's Firstborn ensured no alternatives were offered. If Asmodeus had shown up, things might've shifted. The First Son of Sin grasps the cravings and drives of his Soulbeast better than anyone.}

"Where's Asaemon's personal Soulbeast?"

{Held by Lilith's Firstborn, naturally. Haven't you realized, or are your recollections still blurred, Earth? Have you overlooked Lilith's Firstborn's ultimate aim?}

"Jog my memory." Aurelia exhaled wearily, "I stepped away from my duties ages ago. And remember, I'm not fully restored yet. Forgetting details is inevitable."

Sky paused for a moment before resuming in a steady, lowering tone,

{The Firstborn craves wholeness again. And the sole path to that wholeness is...}

"By merging the two offspring of Sin into a single entity rather than letting them remain divided." Aurelia finished, her pupils widening sharply.

{Exactly. Asmodeus and Asaemon represent opposite faces of the identical token. They started as twins, after all. Or at least, that was the original intent.}

Aurelia lifted her hand to rub her temples, a fierce migraine building up. Events were piling on too rapidly; developments that were never meant to unfold.

Her freshly roused thoughts were starting to buckle under the strain.

And right in the midst of this chaos...

"Noah," Aurelia whispered, her gaze sharpening, "Where's Noah?" {Spirit World.}

Her eyebrows knit together, her expression twisting in deep concern,

"Still there?" Her tone carried disbelief, "How in the world-!"

{Mother drew him into some scheme. He's handling an entity... best left unspoken. That's beyond your duties now.}

"How much longer before he returns?" She pressed, "You can at least share that much?"

{The Prince's Path eludes our sight and foresight these days. Still, his return draws near.}

Sky's words finally carried a veiled sense of wonder.

{The Primus Universe grows chaotic. Countless secret betrayers and outsider entities lurk about with no caution, while the locals remain too oblivious to notice. His entrance will be a relief.}

"Will he be prepared?"

{You understand that better than most, right?} Sky's inflection grew tense, {Otherwise, you wouldn't have woven your Existence threads among the three of you.}

{Honestly, what ran through your mind, Earth?}

Aurelia merely offered a faint smile in response, "You know my lifelong pursuit from the start. Something you couldn't provide."

Sky's tone turned scornful, {A family. A lineage rivaling the Four Ruling Races. You're chasing illusions. It's unattainable, no matter The Prince's remarkable gifts.}

"Time will tell."

{But why those two?}

Aurelia responded with the slightest shrug, her eyelids fluttering 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 unexpected astonishment.

"What did I say?" Gaia's conceited reply grated on Heboric unusually, "My boy always flips every scenario in his favor."

"There's a term for that behavior." Heboric scoffed, "Care to hear it from me, Gaia?"

"Bottle up your opinions, Heboric." She dismissed with a casual gesture, "and allow me to concentrate on-!"

Gaia's words cut off sharply, her eyes bulging wide, her chin nearly hitting the floor.

Heboric's confusion hung in the air, visible or not.

He shifted his attention to where Gaia stared and spotted the Pale Lady and Noah emerging from the awareness realm.

Noah's features held a stunning allure, accented by a sly grin that hinted at impending mischief.

Yet Gaia's focus 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 muttered, a chill piercing his decayed core, "...this can't be real? Gaia... tell me it's not...?"

Gaia offered no reply. Her thoughts locked in shock over the sight and its potential consequences if accurate.

"I fixed one issue..." Gaia murmured, squeezing her eyes shut to fend off total frenzy toward her own child, "...only for him to spawn a fresh headache."

With her statement, Heboric grasped the reality at last.

"I knew it." He breathed, letting out a sigh, "Kids bring nothing but headaches. My smartest choice ever was vowing to stay childless."

For the first time in endless ages...

"You're spot on there."

...Gaia found herself aligning with Heboric.

She dropped to the ground, bracing for the imminent approach of the

Pale Lady.

'Ah...Raj...'

"Hahahahah!"

Noah let out a sharp laugh as he materialized in the Principality's skies,

Diatah beside him, her marking still radiating light.

Her aura swiftly blanketed the entire Principality, sending shivers across everyone's skin within.

No delays occurred.

"Time to start, darling!" Noah shouted, and then...

CLAP-!

Diatah's hands came together with a boom that echoed across the realm.

Noah vanished at the sound, reappearing before his wives. They gazed at him in stunned silence.

"Did you miss me?" He grinned, then seized the shattered red Tower of Light

and Love,

"Hold on just a bit longer while I wrap things up inside the Tree of Ashes." He

instructed, syncing his clap with Diatah's,

CLAP-!

His wives vanished, pulled into the Tree of Ashes, as he blinked away again; this time into a domain of flames and

darkness.

His sudden entry halted the clash between Idalia Marigold and Shadow in its tracks, both women eyeing Noah as he positioned himself between them without a care. They bore severe injuries, breaths coming in harsh gasps,

forms leaking blood from countless wounds.

Noah scanned the area, bypassing them, quickly locating Shadow's fractured Tower.

It rested within that foggy swirl of Shadow.

In a flash, Noah stood before her, his blessing freezing time entirely. His arm lashed out, plunging straight

into Shadow.

The Soul Ruler let out a sharp intake.

Clutching the damaged Tower, Noah yanked it free, drawing a pained cry from the Soul Ruler's lips.

"You-!"

"Light had it correct." Noah stated, his brows lifting as he examined

Shadow, "You remind me of Elira. Quite the oddity."

"Elira?" Shadow faltered, "Where-!"

Her sentence halted as ash-formed chains burst from the fabric of existence, binding both the swearing Idalia and Shadow.

"No room for chatting, miss." He remarked, then clapped in flawless harmony with

Taraji.

CLAP-!

The pair of women shifted into the Tree of Ashes. Noah, on the other hand, reappeared in the heavens next to Diatah, the pieces of the ruined Tower hovering before

him.

"You'll channel this to claim the authority?" Taraji inquired, her palms still posed from the clap.

"Indeed." Noah affirmed, "Yet the Origin Will might block me if I try the ritual like this. As we discussed, I require you to obliterate the whole Principality!" He shot her a quick look and a grin, "Merely to distract it while I complete the task."

Taraji gave a slight nod, her face aimed ahead, "You'd better hurry then."

She flashed a icy smile, her palms igniting with a fierce pale glow, "This strike will outpace the last."

Noah echoed her grin, "I'm set, darling."

"Alright then..."

Diatah's eyes flared brighter. And Noah's mouth opened,

"Here we g―!" CLAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP—!

In a single terrifying moment, the entire Principality burst into ashes.
