The Ultimate Devourer The truth about a 6th Church
I could feel my life being shortened just by standing near this being. It was a thing full of death, the personification of death and life at the same time!Undead!The flesh started to drop off from the decayed corpse as black bones covered with runes appeared in my sight, the skeleton moved slightly as it fell to one knee but then glared at me with two eye sockets filled with blue fire as I unconsciously kneeled in front of him as he got up."I can't believe my body weakened so much for not being used, I thought this shouldn't matter when I became an undead..."I stayed down there and avoided eye contact, but the skeleton made a chuckling sound as it looked down at me and said:"Stop being so scared, your arrival broke the barrier that sealed me underground, so I guess I should reward you for that, unfortunately, your talent is so lacking that you wouldn't be able to learn even my simplest technique, and I'm currently as broke as I can be, keep the cracked sword I guess?""Unfortuna
The Ultimate Devourer The enhanced powers of a Death Knight
I left the hole and entered the cave before making my way outside using the path I memorized when I entered.I wasn't sure how much time it took for the death knight changes to affect my body, but I could feel that the aura on the battlefield was getting heavier, which meant that soldiers would soon arrive in this place!However, the dreaded aura that would inspire insanity was slowly receding as the lich below the ground had already become half-free.There was no reason to exert its influence to guide people down there anymore.Maybe I could use this to my advantage...For starters, I decided to find the path that the other Churches would take to arrive on the inner battlefield and make a hiding spot there.It took me a while, but I found the place, it was parallel opposed to the location of the Fire Church base.However, it was hidden between a thick layer of trees and shrubs, and further away I could sense the barrier of one of the other Churches, but my elemental senses weren't so
The Ultimate Devourer Going back to the Church
The journey back to the city was uneventful. The secret path taken to the battlefield was only used by other soldiers from the Fire God Church who returned from the city after their temporary leave.The speed on the path was also accelerated, most likely because of a unique barrier that was constructed along with it, making me arrive at the city in around 6 hours of constant running.With Aratas's help, we took way less time, but this was already pretty good.I arrived at the city and showed the guards my Fire God Church pin before entering and going straight to the mage guild.After entering the guild, I saw the same long-eared lady at the receiving desk. Seeing that it was me again, the woman looked at me and asked, uninterested why have I came back again:"Welcome to the mage guild. What can I help you with today?"I responded curtly:"I want to meet the head doctor once again."She glanced at a small scroll that she took out of her desk before saying:"The head doctor has an appoi
The Ultimate Devourer Necromancer analysis
I would lie if I said that I didn't find Shira attractive. Her body was perfect, her face was nice, but her personality was... well, a zealot.She was indoctrinated since she was a baby to become a weapon in the hands of the Church, and I couldn't do anything to change her view on things. Thus, she was useless to me, at a point in the future, she won't be so easy to manipulate anymore, and the sole reason she was sleeping with me right now was that she wanted to strengthen her will and get some comfort before she went to the battlefield with me tomorrow.Despite her constant training, she had no battlefield experience, and I doubted she killed too many people.She still had that look of pureness in her eyes.Even when she went up and down on me, she was still looking as pure as ever, her eyes directly looking into mine as she smiled at me and continued.As superhumans we had quite the stamina, so we were able to go at it for hours on end. However, we knew that continuing for too much
The Ultimate Devourer The power of a genuine genius
Even though Shira was naive, it wasn't to the point that she didn't understand that I and the necromancer weren't unsheathing our weapons to fight the owner that was oozing darkness from the cave.Her expression crumpled as she glared at the both of us before looking at me and asking:"Have you been bewitched by this necromancer bitch?! Why are you trying to attack me?!"I shook my head. There was no need to explain as she would learn everything the moment the lich would have integrated with her body.I put both of my hands on the handle of the sword as I approached her using the knife footing technique, the necromancer had already summoned a staff with a human skull on it which she pointed at Shira as she chanted:"Darkness coming from the soul, power from the dead, unleash your Grimmy claws and smite this advocate of light!"She couldn't summon undead due to the vow she made, but necromancers were versatile on plagues, curses, and other types of diseases that could weaken people on
The Ultimate Devourer Integration
I looked at her unconscious body as Ludeus started his ritual.It was a pity that we were from two different worlds. She was talented and beautiful, a woman who anyone would appreciate for who she was, but unfortunately, she had been brainwashed by the Fire God Church to become one of their loyal weapons, which was rather sad.In a way, she was just like me. Stripped of her free will because she wasn't strong enough when she was young, becoming someone else's belonging, and unlike me, she was unable to break away from those who captured her.Runes started to leave the black shoulder bones as they rotated around Ludeus while he made an incision with his sharp finger bones on Shira's foreheadAn incantation left his jaw as he kept it wide open, but it was soundless to the point neither the necromancer nor I could hear it.It was a foreign language of the souls that we couldn't hear at our meager strength levels.The wind started to appear around the underground as it was emanated by the
The Ultimate Devourer Death everywhere
We left the cave behind us as Ludeus took a deep breath of the fresh air from the surface. "It has been such a long time since I had seen the sun that I almost forgot how it felt on my skin." They stretched their body as popping sounds came from all over Shira's body, the bones that were previously dislodged, due to the fight and integration popped right back where they were supposed to be as Ludeus looked around before they said: "Follow me, we will get fifty kills, then move out of this battlefield, there is nothing for us here." "Minato, I guess you wonder where we will go after, right? Well, we will go to the fire church and defect before we will make our way to the ruins of the Wind God Church where we will raise our army to prepare for the invasion of the north." "Killing that Mirato will inflict a huge blow to the fire Church, and we will be one step closer to the conquest of this continent." The green light flickered in Shira's eyes as the influence exerted on her body in
The Ultimate Devourer Splitting up
Ludeus's eyes were closed for a few seconds as flames appeared all around his body before he unleashed a ring of fire that covered around 600 meters front, back, and the sides of the plain we were on. It wasn't much, but the heat from the fire was stopping snow from gathering on the ground, and melting the one on the ground at the same time, he created three such rings and sat down on the ground after all the snow melted around us, he then took a meditative position, and all I could do was wait and watch. It took thirty minutes to melt all of the snow without attracting attention. The fire rings continued to stay active as Ludeus got up and looked around before frowning and saying: "There are no ruins, but they shouldn't know about the secret chamber that I left. You guys wait here, I will be back shortly, do notify me if anyone comes through." Ludeus disappeared, leaving me and Maria alone. It was an awkward silence that covered both of us, the snow continued to pour down from th

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
