My Power to Ignore Enemy Abilities Lets Me Rule Another World

On a battlefield where countless lives were extinguished in an instant, the man known by the codename "Horror" let out a piercing laugh.

"Hahahahaha! Feel the boundless, infinite fear, people of the Empire!"

He proudly admired his creation: an absolute, overpowering miasma of wickedness, formed by manifesting "fear" and blending it with copious amounts of excrement.

Horror, true to his name, possessed the power to control the emotion of fear.

This fear-inducing ability could affect all living beings, amplifying their inner fears to an unbearable degree and robbing enemy troops of their will to fight.

Even if someone had no innate sense of fear, Horror could forcibly implant the sensation into their psyche, making immunity to his powers nearly impossible.

While the Empire's divine-level warriors were somewhat resistant to his powers, all other beings suffered greatly under his influence.

Using this miasma cloud to weaken his enemies while Tadokoro Kozo unleashed relentless, overwhelming attacks across the Empire's territory, Horror intended to exhaust the Empire's forces completely.

At least, that had been his plan.

"Speaking of which… Tadokoro's presence suddenly vanished. Could he have been killed? I told him not to go onto the battlefield himself…"

Horror sighed in frustration. His previous teammate had also died due to unnecessary involvement in combat. It seemed Tadokoro Kozo had followed the same path.

"He could've just stayed back and used his skills from afar… Hmm?"

A sharp sensation pierced Horror's mind. He instinctively tried to amplify the fear-inducing effects of the miasma cloud, only to find that he could no longer control it.

To be precise, the miasma cloud had lost its power entirely.

"What the…? Tch, so be it!"

Realizing the situation, Horror immediately drove his finger into his left eye, destroying it to release the "true power of fear" sealed within.

The ruptured eyeball oozed out in a grotesque, twisting motion until it morphed into a thin needle.

This was a fragment of planet-level fear power, obtained by Horror through a blood ritual from Troikas, the god of fear.

Once this weapon was used, not just divine warriors but half the planet's living beings would suffer catastrophic damage.

Their minds would be utterly shattered, leading them to die physical deaths after enduring a cycle of endless agony.

Horror tossed the needle into the air, and it immediately replaced the dissipating miasma cloud, reforming into an even darker, more ominous black miasma sphere.

"You'll experience true fear firsthand."

As the black miasma sphere began to expand rapidly, a golden beam of light surged from the ground into the sky, spreading outward from its center.

The dazzling golden light instantly obliterated Horror's black miasma sphere and enveloped the entirety of the Empire.

"This light… Could it be the Divine Form—?! Argh!"

"—Casually provoking my nation will not end well for you."

Someone appeared behind Horror, tapping him on the shoulder. Simultaneously, a massive scorpion-like tail clawed through Horror's abdomen.

"The… the God's Avenger…?"

The massive tail was withdrawn from Horror's body, its venom instantly destroying his internal organs and senses.

Powerless, Horror could only watch as he plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

A plume of dust rose upon his impact, marking the demise of the invasion army's final general.

With that, the tide of war decisively turned in favor of the Empire.
