The Ultimate Devourer Seeing Hell with your own eyes
The darkness that was veiling my eyes continued to remain there for a few minutes, and when I opened them again, there was lava and an apocalyptic environment now surrounding me.Shira, Alliron, and Aratas were missing, and I could see around me a desolate desert that was way emptier than the one in the Duramato Continent.There was something strange in this part of hell, I could recognize it as being the first layer, but there was something strange about it.Usually, imps and the lower-level demons would be running around, trying to kill each other or do some other activities around this desolate desert, but there was nothing around here now.Everything was too silent, and I doubt that the weakest demons would leave hell.They wouldn't be useful. Some of them were even weaker than normal human civilians, they would be safer here.Despite their weaknesses, most of the low-level demons were abnormally smart, so they would know the best to remain here.What were the higher-ups concoctin
The Ultimate Devourer 2nd Layer of Hell
Finally, after so much walking without seeing anyone in sight, I spotted 3 figures huddled around the entrance toward the 2nd layer of hell.Who else could they be but my three companions? Shira, Alliron, and Aratas.My approach was slightly slow as I felt the violent emotions in my soul stir and increase the closer I was getting to the entrance of the 2nd hell.But they weren't to the level that they would take over my soul and make me become a mindless beast. Atleast not yet.My arrival almost went unnoticed as the other three were currently focusing on something, maybe quelling their violent emotions.After a little bit of time, Alliron opened his eyes to see me, he showed me a strained smile as he said:"Finally here, huh?"I nodded slightly as I glanced towards the other two, Aratas was having it the hardest, he was clenching his teeth, sweat was dripping down his forehead, and he didn't even look at us as he might lose control and attack.He continued to look at the grey sands b
The Ultimate Devourer Conflicting emotions (R-18 chapter)
(SOME EXPLICIT SEXUAL SCENES WILL APPEAR DURING THIS CHAPTER, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"The raging emotions in my mind were accentuated by the illusions plaguing me. The 2nd hell was doing its best to make me repent, but it wasn't easy to make me do something I didn't want to.My willpower clashed with the emotions and illusions constantly bombarding my soul, while Shira looked at my trembling body with slight worry.I was still moving forward, but my pace had slowed to a snail's crawl.The problem was that the 2nd hell was getting angrier and angrier at my resilience. But its attempts to make me repent were also speeding up the process of sin-cleaning.Of course, if the soul didn't repent, it would be pretty useless to reincarnate it as it would lead it to the same path.Hell usually wanted to create a cycle where the same path wasn't repeated, regardless if it was good or evil, if I was evil, I should become good or neutral, and vice-versa for the others.Of course, hell would be way m
The Ultimate Devourer 3rd layer and 4th layer
Even though holding hands didn't mean much to me, Shira was still quite happy that I didn't refuse her request.She sent me a sweet smile as she started to drag me forward into the distance.We still had to meet with Alliron and Aratas in the middle of the 2nd layer.The surroundings were no different compared to the first layer. There were red cloud-lead skies that looked like doomsday had come, grey sand along with a lava pool that was deep below which influenced the surrounding oxygen to become as toxic as possible.Now that I didn't have to fight for my body to go berserk and rampage in more ways than one. I was finally able to scan everything around us.The further we went into the 2nd layer, the more I felt an invisible pressure starting to appear on my shoulders, starting to push me into the sand, leaving deeper footprints in it.I scratched my chin using my free hand as we arrived in the middle of the 2nd layer, meeting with Alliro and Aratas.Alliron looked the same, nothing
The Ultimate Devourer 5th layer and 6th layer
The toxins in the 4th layer were something that was quite above what I experienced in the living world.Even the most venomous creatures I encountered couldn't compare to a simple whiff of the atmosphere in the 4th layer of hell.Combined with the pressure and the other tortures, the stress started to accumulate in both body and soul.Especially since we were experiencing twice the pain and torture since this environment was meant only for souls.I looked towards Shira who was cleansing her green complexion using the fiery phoenix flames that were generated from her hands, while I could also sense that her soul wasn't too affected by the fire.It looks like the phoenix was a majestic creature that could endure quite a lot using its cleansing flames.The 4th layer was quite bigger compared to the previous three, there was also the fact we couldn't fly, so we had to move through the lava rivers on foot forcefully.I and Shira started to walk ahead to the first obstacle, the lava river t
The Ultimate Devourer 7th layer
The 6th layer was meant to stop you and torture your sense of being with the stopped time.You could look around and see, but you couldn't say anything, do anything, or hear anything.There was also the fact that your body's built-in time clock would be thrown in disarray from the stopped time in this layer.I could feel that this could be considered a relatively high level of mental torture.It started slowly initially, but the more you stood there, waiting for something to happen, the more maddening it would be.Imagine standing still, unable to move, but, still being perceptive of your surroundings, watching them be immobile for an unknown amount of time.The torture would turn anyone insane.Fortunately, even though my movements were remarkably restrained, I was still able to move through the stopped-time environment as I had an expanding amount of knowledge about the time law that was governing this hell layer.The more I moved through the restricted area, the more I understood..
The Ultimate Devourer 8th layer = Warzone
The worm-like creature was very deferential to me, but I knew it was most likely thinking about a plan to escape or injure me somehow. It couldn't hide its intentions through its slimy eyes.I grasped the creature by its neck as I didn't have the time nor the mood to interrogate it.I decided to go with a direct approach, immediately dominating its lesser will and transforming it into a slave, where I could get an immediate reading of his memories.The being's memories weren't very long, and they didn't contain much information, but they did contain the current situation of the 8th layer.This area was one of the 2 battlefields on which the sins were fighting to ascend to the surface.The 9th and 8th battlefields contained the sins and their armies who were currently fighting the combined tortures and they had the full focus of the law enforcers that hell had created.They were the law-based beings that had two missions, make sure that the tortures were applied properly, and make sure
The Ultimate Devourer Sin peculiarity
My target didn't know that I was stalking him from the shadows.I kept my aura hidden to the maximum, making me not much different from a simple tree or a rock in the senses of others.The shadow soldiers scattered around the battlefield dissipated immediately as they returned to my side, transforming into energy that seeped back into my body discreetly. I couldn't hold back anything against the sin-bearing demons. Their strength was high enough to hold back Alliron and Aratas, even though it was a 4v2, it was still impressive!I closed my eyes for a brief second as 5 seconds passed, and the hooded demon attacked Alliron once again, injuring him by piercing the side of his chest and taking out a few ribs.The second that he tried to get back to his allies' sides, I appeared behind him, appearing there directly by moving through the shadow, achieving teleportation!My eyes were peering directly into the demon's, making it widen behind the hood.A dagger made from wood that was encased

The 'Heroes' of the universe fall? (Finale)
(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
