[Three hundred years into the present ]Al'ravee opened his eyes with a calm expression, the aura of loneliness still lingering."Nothing has changed though. No one is truly my friend, and neither is anyone truly my enemy. I've gathered chess pieces before and I'll gather them again. The most important thing is still myself"If anything, his last five hundred-plus years had taught him to always put his own goals first. They were to be achieved by any means necessary.Ever since the fight with Nordeline which ended in a draw, he became somewhat aware of his situation. The fight was brutally analyzed and he concluded that his fight had been rigged.The Concepts of Space and Time. No matter how one thought of it, those concepts weren't a joke, not to mention that during the fight, he could sense how she had way more power than him. In other words, Nordeline had been nerfed to give him a chance.And who else could have the ability to nerf Nordeline? Basically every other God he currently
"Huh?" Al'ravee was taken aback. He felt his insides turn and suddenly had a strong nauseating feeling."What's wrong?" Ozia turned his chair to face his two passengers."Nothing, just felt a bit uncomfortable." Al'ravee turned to see Nordeline also rooted to her chair. Her face didn't reveal any discomfort but he was sure that she also felt the same way.*VOOM!*Al'ravee immediately infused some concept energy into his concept of organic body. The effect was obvious as he no longer felt that discomforting feeling."Also, I've been meaning to ask?...""Ask away Al'ravee," Lately, most conversations between Al'ravee and Ozia were that of question and answer."You know how there's this rule in physics that states, an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. External forces like gravity, wind, and other things.""Yes," Ozia confirmed.Nordeline was confused. Her starting planet had been too backward for her to understand what they were saying now. She
"Nordeline, since you're idle now, why don't I show you around the Golden Eye? You're going to be on this ship for some time, it's best if you know your way around sooner."As it was that they would be spending a lot of time on the vessel, Ozia opted to be a tourist of his own home. "I'd be delighted" Nordeline and Ozia stood up."I'm coming too" Alravee stood up from his chair."What? I didn't get to see the whole thing last time." Al'ravee's dignified face quickly changed into a more casual one, accompanied by a goofy smile.He stretched his arms wide and walked towards them, acting like a completely different person.Nordeline was a bit curious about this sudden minuscule change in behavior but she didn't find it strange. After all, she was just like him. She also did not have an in-built personality.The way Al'ravee behaved was purely due to preference. If he always looked calm, that was because he preferred it, not because he was like that naturally.This was the same for her, K
A piece of metal that had broken off from the tube lay by the side silently. And imprinted on this metal plate was the word:Gender: MaleLevel: 15Talent: Pyromancy.Ozia didn't bother to hide the frown on his face. His red eyes stared at the human who was slowly stirring awake.'How could his hand have slipped?' Nordeline wondered. "I'm really sorry." Al'ravee voiced out.No matter how one looked at it, it looked more like he had intentionally dragged this tube down."It's okay," Ozia said and finally relaxed a bit. He was very much aware of what happened, he just didn't feel like taking it past a certain level. This was something Al’ravee was confident on.The naked man suddenly opened his eyes.Boom!Orange and blue flames burst out from the naked man's body as he stood up. The surrounding temperature increased and Al'ravee felt it the most as he stood right next to him.The red flames licked his body and the white kaftan but they remained unharmed.Instead, Al'ravee looked amused
"These are all manifestations of different concepts with the sword concepts as the main focus. " Ozia said, his red eyes flashing mysteriously.Al'ravee stared at the holograms in amusement."Enough about that, you'll understand better as time goes by." Ozia cut the conversation short.But it didn't matter, Al'ravee was already hooked.With a wave of his hand, the chainsaw arm and holograms were lost to sight.The assembly was simply too large, large enough to fit multiple towns in it.It would obviously be a waste of time to walk through the entire place, even if they could. Each of them still had things to do before the journey concluded. So with the help of an in-built sayytrain which Ozia manipulated to run by, they got to their destination in a few hours.They ultimately arrived at Ozia's workspace and just like before, Ozia never failed to amuse them.Behind a transparent, blue, shimmering wall, gizmos of various types pilled up to form small hills.The workspace alone was more
"No." Ozia shook his head. “Although already in level 90, these souls are all new, meaning I can subordinate them with little resistance and worry that they will rebel and just wait for them to mature"Ozia was very confident in his creation. "Although they can think, they don't have any body part that allows them to feel any emotions for now.No greed, no anger, no love, no excitement. Regulating them with some concepts would eliminate most concerns...""I'd like to have one." Al'ravee suddenly interrupted Ozia."Pardon." Ozia was puzzled."I said I'd like to have one. Is it for sale?" Al'ravee asked with a blank expression.From the moment Ozia mentioned that the soul was new and was capable of being easily controlled, he knew he had to get one.That, with their abilities, would make things easier for him wherever he went.He was a bit skeptical before but now that there was a way to control it, why not?"But you don't have the Subordination Concept," Ozia stated with a frown."Is th
[Al'ravee's in-ship dwelling.]The hovercraft was parked outside, at least Al'ravee didn't need to worry about someone stealing it in the Golden Eye.All the items he had gotten from Ozia had already been placed in a storage room next to his residence before he arrived. Right now, he was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the living room. All the pieces of furniture from before had been moved away and the only other appliance from before was the flat-screen television fixed into the wall.Apart from that, the wide room had some electronic appliances that he was familiar with from Planet Green Cloud.A smartphone, two speakers, a CPU, an extension socket, and a nice laptop that was turned on. All were placed under the television.Held in his hand was the dormant soul of the level 90 mortal and placed before him on the floorwas the artificial womb.The chord at the bottom of the womb was connected to the extension socket in the center of the room which was also connected by a cable to
‘So.Gods… They are conscious entities who are an important part of the universe they are naturally born in. Each is blessed with control over concepts, the building blocks of the universe.This effectively puts them at the top of an unchangeable food chain among all known existence.’ A'lravee meditated on the information from Krene's guide."The state of senselessness is simply caused by a temporary instability in the soul manifest which is caused by the input of too many concepts too complex to comprehend for that particular god at that given time.This state is hard to enter intentionally unless enlightenment over a concept is had.""Concept of Concept energy, how can it be a concept yet also be a source of energy for other concepts?”He automatically comprehended more and more and started piecing everything together."Concept energy is a manifestation of the Concept of Concept Energy. All concepts require concept energy to function including the concept it originates from.Anything
“Priya! What was that?” Clancy came over with worry for Priya.She had previously left Priya alone because Galgamuth was present, but when she heard that loud noise, she became very worried.Luckily, from what she was seeing, no harm was done.“Galgamuth is down there,” Priya said while frowning. She faced the direction from whence the being came from.Clancy looked over. Because of the wall, she couldn't see who was there but she could see traces of a red glow she recognized too well, and a foreign green glow.“Priya, let's go.” Clancy said as she saw the intensity of this glow fluctuating.They both knew Galgamuth had encountered someone who was keeping him occupied for now.Anyone who could keep Galgamuth busy for so long was definitely not an ordinary person.And if this was to break into a fight…“Priya, we have to go now!” Clancy repeated, this time raising her voice to allow Priya to register the alarm in her tone.If this was indeed going to break into a fight, they had better
Meanwhile,Priya sat on the balcony as usual, this time accompanied by Galgamuth only.Galgamuth had his hands on the railings as he anxiously clenched down on them.“No need to be worked up, I have a feeling that things will go well,” Priya said while putting on a gentle smile.Hearing this, Galgamuth breathed heavily, “Did you get a vision?” He asked, his eyes filled with a longing for hope.Priya shook her head, “Unfortunately, no.”Galgamuth sighed helplessly.“But you shouldn't be worrying, even if something was going to happen, I'm sure a miracle will put everything in order,” Priya stated.Galgamuth turned to look at Priya with a strange look, “Miracle?” He scoffed, “I never took you as one who believes in taking chances.”Priya smiled at this, “Indeed, I don't believe in taking chances, that doesn't mean miracles can't happen.”“Miracle or not, that doesn't change things much. You're starting to sound just like Talliu.” Galgamuth said this with an awful expression.“Although h
The sudden transformation into a large two-tailed fire fox startled the enemy combatants.Rijinna, in her fox form, lunged at the nearest person to her, which was a non-human.She jumped over ten meters to sink her teeth into the neck of the non-human.“Aaaaaargh!”The green-skinned man shouted frantically as those needlepoint teeth pierced into his soft neck.For a brief moment, the rain of bullets on Rijinna stopped as the shooters hesitated to shoot their comrade, but that hesitation would cost them.Not stopping to check if her victim was dead, the fire fox went after the next person closest to her, bringing all her intent to massacre along with her.At this point, Darius and the others arrived at the edge of the bowl-shaped crater.Everyone quickly ran out of their land rovers with their firearms. Among them, a few of the combatants had gone to the trunks to take their surprisingly large guns. Darius was one of these few.His rifle was almost two meters long, sharing height with
Meanwhile.The twenty-nine landrovers all sped up after seeing the explosion. The black land rover on the other hand slowed down until the last vehicle behind it overtook it.The twenty-nine dirt brown land rovers continued onward.The black vehicle eventually slowed down. The driver opened the door casually and stepped out.*CRANK!*It was like the land rover had been suffering from having to carry a heavy burden. The noise coming from it after the driver alighted would raise questions anywhere.The driver himself had an appearance that didn't lose out to Rijinna.Standing more than six feet tall with a bald head and a stony gaze, his entire body seemed to be a statue… literally.He looked like a work of art that was carved out of magnificent grey stone. His muscles seemed well moulded and his jawline was as sharp as a cliff.Every movement of his was accompanied by a grating sound, like a stone rubbing against another stone.“Zillis, do your thing.” From the radio in the car, Darius
One beautiful moon hung in the sky of planet Tavron. The light reflecting from the Daystar conveniently bounced off the moon, allowing the moonlight to shine on the still-recovering wasteland continent.The atmosphere seemed so peaceful and pretty, if only this silence could last till the end of time. Alas…A convoy of makeshift land rovers, thirty to be exact, rode fiercely on the dry wasteland like dirty mechanical beasts.All of them were armored, while ten of them had guns mounted on the top with someone manning them.A swarm of one hundred-odd bikes rode around this convoy, with two geared-up humans sitting on each bike.The combined roars of their engines scared away all low-level life forms while forcing the bold ones to remain rooted in place until they passed.Large centipedes and other nocturnal creatures could be seen scurrying into their burrows.Out of the thirty armored land rovers, the twenty-ninth on the line seemed a bit different from the rest. Not only was its mount
Ozia nodded his head, “Then what about your name? You need to add more to your name, your mother might have named you but that doesn't mean you can't add to it.”Al'ravee nodded back at the machine-based god, “Yes” He said, “I can feel the annoying vain calls of mortals, it needs to be extended. I never planned on leaving it just the way it is anyway.”As Al'ravee said this he looked down at his hand, the perfect grey color reminded him of someone.Al'ravee opened his mouth to name himself. “My name shall be, Al'ravee Divera Murreleous Randolez Takuti Weada Balcin…”Al'ravee listed a total of twenty-two words for his full name. Some names came from his reference to certain people or places.Space seemed to want to flow and break at the mention of that full name. From now on, unless someone knew and called Al’ravee’s full name, he would never notice.As though to prove a point, the calls that had been in his head for some time immediately disappeared. No longer was he annoyed by the na
“To think this mortal was able to derive an approximate time for our arrival, she has even seen your rough image, that's impressive,” Ozia said, his voice was laced with genuine praises.Currently, Al'ravee, Iyah, Norderline, and Ozia stood on the outer surface of the Golden Eye spaceship.“Who?” Al'ravee asked as he stared at the magnificent and humongous planet thousands of kilometers ahead.“There's a mortal who possesses the Oracle Talent in the same environment as your Darius descendant. She already knows we are here.” Ozia said, his glowing red eyes focused on one point in particular on one of the continents.Al'ravee looked at Ozia and then followed his eyes to the continent he was looking at. His two eyes immediately turned into two mirror balls as he manifested his concept of sight.He locked on to a wide stretch of wastelands, looking further, his eyes found a black fortress that seemed to have a lot of people gathering near its gate.On further inspection, he saw an old lad
Priya and Clancy walked side by side, with Clancy's hand resting on the former’s right shoulder.“Darius has successfully integrated himself into our society as an inexpensive asset.” Clancy began, her voice echoing across the long spacious hallway.“Yes, he has,” Priya replied, undisturbed by the sudden words.The walls in the hallway were a smooth light grey, as though they had been sculpted into existence, rather than being built brick by brick.“We watched him rise over the past ten years, right under our noses…” Clancy continued. “Yes, we did,” Priya said.“His accomplice, Talliu, is peacefully placing both hope and doubts in the hearts of the commune's members, hope that goes against what we stand for, doubt over the very purpose of what we stand for.”“I know.”“We could have stopped it, but you told us some years back after your injury that they would be beneficial to our cause.”“Yes, I did…” They reached the end of the hallway, taking a turn down the spiral staircase before
“Omega Vitamin?” One of the figureheads said with a grave expression. He had a short stature and had bushy black beards on his face.Darius placed his hands on the table, allowing his weight to rest on them. He breathed in and out slowly, his mind engaged in deep thoughts.“Yes, Omega Vitamin,” Galgamuth said. For some reason, everyone seemed to hover between the thin line of joy and sorrow, not knowing how they should feel.“From the letter, this Omega Vitamin is being sent here from their headquarters. How they managed to lay their hands on it is unknown, what is of concern to us is that they are sending it right into the arms of the Vaderian Cult base.”“Being concerned is one thing, doing something about it is another.” said another blonde-haired man at the table who wore black-rimmed glasses.“If this is the case what do you suggest we do?” Another woman asked.Subconsciously, they all turned to look at Priya who still had her eyes closed. “I already tried, I can't see any outco
