The path towards the chief's house was easily cleaned by the observing elves, but that didn't mean they went to do whatever they were supposed to after they scattered.

Most of them stayed behind and watched me using their special observation techniques and the like.

They were all wondering what the chief's message contained, as only the very first few sentences were told to them by the chief, the fortune of a person coming out of the death trap that stood below their village, a person that they should simply greet and then lead to him...

I ignored the curious gazes of the night elves that traveled around my body as I followed that one particular female elf that first approached me.

The buildings of their village were quite simple but still looked quite exquisite as they were seemingly made better compared to the ones at the blood elves' village.

Nature blended better in their village, almost as if it was showing its favor towards the night elves, and the structures looked majestic

    The controlled elder put a hand forward and I felt a suction force appear on his palm, but the pressure didn't affect me as it seemed to be attracting something from far away through space!I rose an eyebrow as a small branch filled with a verdant green color that showed its exuberant vitality appear in the chief's hand.The thing seemed quite useless at first glance, but the moment my soul scanned it for a single second, I could feel an immense hunger in my stomach explode, I unconsciously started salivating as I swallowed and asked:"Is that one of your main body's branches?"The chief chuckled as he pointed the small branch at me and said:"Yes, do you feel anything towards it?"I couldn't help but nod as my eyes almost burned a hole through the elder's hand as I stared at it."What an obvious reaction, as the first being that grew on the planet, my body could be considered the best primary treasure for the living beings on this planet to evolve.""Do you want it?"I nodded and ask

    One of the first things that came out of my mouth was:"Do you have any life-saving treasure that you could give me?"The world tree almost couldn't help but laugh as it said: "That's what you want? That's pretty simple to get since my little elves had been gathering these types of things in their spare time." I shook my head as I continued: "I don't want any of those low-level and middle-level life-saving treasures, I want something made personally by you!" The possessed elf chief couldn't help but frown and shake his head as he responded: "I can't do that with my current consciousness level, a life-saving treasure from scratch? Not possible, especially since you want a high-level one." I looked down at my armor and patted it before saying: "Do you think you can reforge my armor and sword to a higher level then?" The sword was made of a special material that even Ludeus didn't mention and the armor was created by Ludeus, so it should be of high enough quality to be reforged b

    The treants' voices started to become buzzes in my ears as my senses were getting dulled by the flames roasting both my body and my soul. I already knew it was gonna come to this. The legacies were only the keys that could be used to open the door that led to Alliron's prison. He had marked the location of the prison inside the legacies. Only the medium plus the incantation that the treants were singing were used to break open the dimensional wall that was between us and the place that kept Alliron locked up. I was the medium because my body was tough enough to withstand the aftereffects of breaking open the gods' prison. But it wasn't that simple considering my body shouldn't be able to withstand the power of such high-level beings. The treants were also bearing the brunt of the damage along with the legacies themselves! I opened my left eye and I was able to see cracks slowly expanding on some of the legacies as they were seemingly groaning in pain due to the immense pressure t

    The closer we got to the warm aura, the more I felt that the treants that were carrying us were weakening.The life force that was contained in their barks was slowly emptying as it reached a critical level after they had used their incantations to keep the dimensional rift open for such a long time.They didn't have much life left in them, and slowly but surely, we had reached the destination, there the treants let us down slowly on the grass that surrounded us before transforming into blisters of wood that sunk into the ground as they died, leaving nothing behind.I and Alliron were left alone at the new location, under the shade of a tall tree.I tried to get up and look at the aura that was supposedly in front of me, but it took me more effort than I thought.The remaining energy from that dimension was eating away at my strength while it existed in my body while also making my regeneration capabilities null.Alliron sighed as he looked at me before saying:"Mother, I know you are

    The teleportation power made me dizzy for a few seconds as I found myself in one of the Night Elves' villages.People were walking around, talking, or doing their other daily activities, which they stopped when they saw me appearing out of mid-air.I looked around for a few seconds to get a grasp of where I was teleported before a small Night Elf came towards me, bowed, and said:"Lord Alliron had mentioned that you will be teleported here sooner or later, and he told me to give you this."It was a parchment of paper with a location written on it, which most likely was where we should meet.I nodded at the tiny elf after I took the paper out of his hands and disappeared, with ever-increasing bodily strength and soul strength, my ability to understand space had increased monumentally, making it way easier for me to slip through the cracks inside it and use it to blink around the continent however I wanted.The coordinates that I have been given were easy to understand, and in three min

    The molding of the heart was getting along nicely as I felt my soul's improvements in real-time.However, soon enough, after I finished molding the heart and applying it to my soul, I felt something was wrong.However, that feeling didn't come from my newly upgraded soul, but from my body!My soul and body were growing in tandem since my soul had gotten those huge improvements due to the legacies.The growth of the body is reflected in the soul and vice-versa.Of course, the improvements wouldn't be too big as that would be too much of a good thing to happen.It wasn't to the point where if my soul gained a certain strength, my body would improve at the same rate, but the changes were noticeable, to say the least.However, even though I could feel that my body and soul had reached a certain balance, my body somehow felt weird, incomplete even, I could feel my stomach growling and shouting inside as if there wasn't something right with it.I clutched my stomach and didn't continue the

    We teleported out of the World Tree's personal space as we arrived at a place full of flowers and trees.Two makeshift graves made out of wood and vines stood tall in front of us.Alliron became nostalgic as he saw the graves and sighed before saying:"Big brother Farrion, and younger brother Smanir."I glanced at the graves and asked:"So they are the ones who used to make up the trio of original elves that the world tree first created."Alliron nodded and said:"They both died while I had been ejected from the atmosphere as they protected mother using their bodies to give her enough time to disperse and seal the great darkness that had been enveloping our planet at that time, anyways, enough about the past, even though they are both dead right now, they still can help both you and me."Alliron dug slightly into the soil as he revealed two crystal coffins in which the seemingly sleeping elves were laying down.They were both beautiful and resembled Alliron greatly, they were just sli

    I could feel my body being revitalized by my new blood, the emptiness I was feeling inside it beforehand was slowly being replaced by a new sensation as the crafted bloodline that Alliron had made was slowly flowing into my hearts, making them start beating quickly.Beforehand they were beating so slowly and once even ten to twenty minutes, but now they sounded like drums that were being constantly beaten as I felt an immense amount of strength exploding from my body.I ripped apart the bindings that were keeping me tied to the operating table as I felt some buzzing in my ears.I shook my head as I tried to recognize who was talking, and slowly, I heard Ludeus's words:"MINA TO!"I responded easily as I checked my internal situation:"Ludeus?"A sigh came out from the other side as our connection strengthened slightly:"You never took this much time to respond before, did something happen?"I told him a little about my 'training' but not too much to not get into details that wouldn't

    (WARNING, VERY LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!) The devil's red eyes were hypnotizingly horrid as they taunted me insidiously. The way he raised his eyebrow as he kept the leaders of the alliance bay e made me know that he was slowly getting his strength back. Sooner or later, he would be able to push both of them back and kill them! His body language told it so, the facts told it so, and the two alliance leaders knew it as well, it was obvious from the perspiration that was flowing down from their foreheads that things weren't as good as they seemed on the surface. Was death that close to me? I could feel blood gurgling in my throat as the devil sent a claw through space to immediately appear in front of my throat and pierce it. However, my instincts were still as sharp as ever, so I was able to barely take a step back before the claw would fully penetrate my throat and tear it out. I glared at the offending appendage that almost ripped my throat out, but a finger snap made the insides of

    Waiting for reinforcements in vain

    The devil didn't have enough time to retrieve all of his fragments, thus stopping at the strength of around 24 mastered laws. However, this amount of strength was still too high for me to deal with. The two alliance leaders nodded at each other before looking at me and saying: "You have done your best, but your incompetent allies dragged you down, you can go now, there is nothing you could do in this type of fight anymore." I wanted to leave since I was given permission, but could I? The devil's red eyes targeted me immediately after he regained his bearings from being hit by the dual uppercut. "You... yes, the fragments told me about you." "You have interfered with me countless times, do you think that I will let you go that easily?!" The devil opened his mouth and started to spit flames at me, his gigantic body immediately shrunk to a smaller human-sized form as he fought back and forth with the two alliance leaders, he knew that he wouldn't be able to recover all of his frag

    Despair

    I could feel my hearts jump into my throat as I looked at the recovering magic circle, I failed?I clutched my chest as I growled at the encircling demons, making them take a few steps back as they understood that they were way over their heads by attempting to attack me, even though I haven't fully recovered my energy after I launched that nuke at the immobile devil fragments, the 17 laws that flowed around my body created an impenetrable shield that not many people would be able to break.The demons may be scared by me, but they were all emboldened by the fact that one of the fragments had survived and melded with the magic circle!I wasn't entirely sure what the circle was supposed to do, but it was certainly nothing good.I wanted to fly towards it and break it apart now that there was no one to protect it, but the demons that were previously scared of me started to create a wall of bodies as they tightened the encirclement around me, the morale of the alliance had already dropped

    The devil makes his move

    The distance between the two black difficulty planets was quite far away, so it took me ten hours of traveling at my quickest speed to reach it.This time around, this new planet was on full defensive mode, the fragment I killed must have told the other nearby awakened pieces about what I had done to him before his death.But at this point, where my strength had reached a whooping 17 laws, 4 of them being a specialization law, how could the flimsy barrier around this planet even withstand my strength?I punched forward, making the barrier crack and break without even having to find its weak spots.The demons that were on standby for defense crumbled along with the barrier from the shockwaves of my initial attack...Most of them were weaklings that didn't even learn one law, it looked like the devil only left behind cannon fodder...There were no ambushes as I dropped down on the planet, the weaklings that were dumb enough to get near me were squashed to death by my aura as I didn't ev

    Organ changes

    The organs of the devil fragment were certainly quite larger compared to the demons or other races that I have encountered up till now.They had a certain heavy weight to them, and I could feel that they were hard to the touch, almost like a rock.They were also in different shapes compared to the average human, or even the average humanoid specie.The heart was in a triangle shape, the lungs were square, and the liver was just like a small ball.The intestines were quite short as they seemed to have evolved for utmost efficiency in energy conversion from the stomach to the whole body.I continued to analyze the shapes of the organs before I couldn't help but be curious about their taste.I took the triangle heart with both hands since it was quite heavy and big, and I started munching on it, splattering some blood on my face.The taste was very bland, toxic even, the organs of the devil were filled with a certain poisonous substance that even bypassed the poison-proof constitution th

    Test running ten laws

    After comforting Shira for a bit, I could feel my hands becoming quite itchy as I felt the need to test my newly gained strength.Even though the seven laws I have plundered could be considered inferior, quantity could still be used to crush the quality opposition when it was in a high enough number.As long as my opponent had eight or below laws, I should be able to easily deal with them, as for nine and above. I had to fight someone at that level to understand my place on the strength scales a little better.I wasn't sure about the powers of the top dogs of the universe, so I had to slowly find out while messing with the devil's plans in passing.A fully awakened devil fragment who was able to get his hands on the seven sins would be equal to a normal being that had learned and mastered seven laws.He would be the perfect test partner.Fortunately, I could easily infer the location of such heavily infected planets through the alliance's medal.I was able to find out about the locati

    Researching the devouring ability

    After we left the vacation planet, we started to attack low-level corrupted planets that had a few law-wielding demons.The experimentation started from there.I started by dissecting the demons and seeing how the laws were embedded in their bodies after they have mastered them.I have attempted to learn from introspection, but I could not properly see all angles inside my body, and some places were obscured for some reason.Now, by dissecting these weaker demons, I was able to infer how the laws would settle in the body, and by extension, I might be able to learn how I could apply the devouring ability to strip them of their laws and make them mine.From what I found out, the first law would settle near the heart in the form of the element that was comprehended.The second would go onto one lung, the third on the other...Atleast that's what I thought it would go like considering that I was only able to slay and dissect demons that wielded up to 2 laws.I was able to somewhat see the

    Concrete theories about the time law

    With the usage of a few bribes and some 'honeyed words' I was able to immediately regain control over the organization.I sat in the control room of the barrier as I made some adjustments to it, slowly incorporating the runes and other features that I have been able to master during the time I have been controlling the Ice Palace's barrier.This place needed an upgrade, and all I had to do was change a few things on the medium to make those changes, no extra materials were needed! Quite convenient.I had to fill my time with something while my underlings were doing their best to find out the things that I inquired about.Surprisingly, this academy had a library with quite a lot of books filled with neat tidbits of information. However, during my time in the academy, I didn't seem to be able to find such a library, even though I had visited most of the corridors and other important rooms of the academy...Quite strange...I even asked Shira if she knew that the academy had a library, b

    Shira's changes

    Shira seemed to be the same, but also quite different at the same time, almost as if she was a familiar person that I haven't seen in a long while that changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable, but I would still know her because of small things, like her voice, her face, etc...Shira took my hand into hers, it was cold, very cold, it looked like she had entirely changed from her previous fire-based nature to an ice one, such a drastic shift... it should have been really painful and deadly for her.And she didn't even come to me even once when she thought about doing such a thing, was she thinking for my sake, or did she think that I would dissuade her from doing such a perilous experiment?I hugged her tightly, and she hugged me back, while her appearance and demeanor had small changes, her personality seemed to be the same.Shira giggled lightly as she broke off the hug and said:"Oww, you were worried about me?"I nodded lightly at her question and asked with a little worr
