Falling into a routine (Part 2)
last update2023-03-23 00:16:13

Before I could start relaxing and decorating the top room, a short figure appeared before the base doors.

The clean-shaved face, the serious attitude, and the clean suit that he wore, who else could it be but the academy's principal?

His visit was surprising but not unexpected, I opened the doors and let him in as I teleported to the main room for receiving guests.

There was no furniture yet, so the dwarf stood there as we eyed each other, there was a certain pressure around this man that made me almost gulp instinctively, but I restrained that impulse as I asked respectfully:

"What a pleasure for the principal to visit our humble base, but could I ask why? I didn't break any rules of the academy, yes?"

The dwarf chuckled lightly as he looked up at me and said:

"You haven't broken any unwritten rules, it's just that I'm quite interested in ambitious youths like yourself, the academy is full of talents, but most of them lack ambition, and those who have ambition play too low-key for my

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Ice God Avatar

    After a small tussle between each other, I and Shira made up with a hug and a kiss before we made our way inside of the academy. The moment we stepped through its doors, we were immediately teleported to the principal's office, he was currently signing some paperwork as he took off his eyes from what he was writing before he looked at the two of us: "Oh, it's you two? Not surprising that you have already reached the graduation requirements." He nodded at me as he took something out of the drawer of his desk before handing it to us: "These are the academy badges that will evolve your academy account into a Regulator's Alliance account along with any of the remaining points that you have got in the student account." I took off one badge and Shira did the same, we injected some energy into them, just like instructed by the principal, and a small light screen was projected from the medal's base that said: "Minato, age 23, Academy graduate, 0 real missions done, 2,202 simulated missi

  • The Ultimate Devourer   A little vacation and thoughtful talks

    Shira smiled seeing my expression change as she felt that teasing me was fun.I couldn't help but shake my head seeing her smile, the more I lived with her, the more I understood emotions. However, my expression turned neutral. I did enjoy her company, but I didn't forget my goal...We both had already dropped onto the planet, the surroundings were quite primal, filled with nothing but high grasses and gigantic trees, we had arrived near a small river that was running down a creek, surprisingly there were no natives near this fresh source of water.I and Shira sat near the river's left bank as we watched a few ancient fishes eat each other inside, biting into each other with their oversized sharp teeth, somewhat dirtying the clear river water with blood.We were 'blissfully unaware' of our surroundings as we watched the fish fight for a few minutes before we moved on from this place to another one.We moved through jungles, forests, tall grass areas, and a few underground caves, we ev

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Taking on missions for advancement

    After clearing my mental state with Shira's help, I immediately opened the light screen from the alliance membership badge before browsing the available missions there.Unlike those at the academy that were simulated, these were graded differently:It ranged from Green Color to, Yellow, Orange, Dark Orange, Red, Dark Red, and Black.Green Color meant that the failure of the inhabitants to stop hell's descent was relatively fresh, meaning that the demons that resided on the planet weren't particularly strong.Yellow meant that some time had passed since the inhabitants had been defeated and transformed into the demon's slaves, so more sinful thoughts and actions had been enacted, leading to the strength of the demons being higher.Orange meant that the planet was now fully populated by demons as even the enslaved inhabitants had given up on their humanity, slowly being morphed into the malevolent beings that have tormented them for a long amount of time, boosting the power of all the d

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Missions, missions, missions! (Part 1)

    The yellow-rated mission was situated in the northern part of the galaxy, while we were currently in the western part. It was quite a long journey to take, even with our current speeds, it would take at least 2 weeks of non-stop traveling. Unfortunately, green color missions were easy to do even for the most basic Alliance member, so the majority of people would take them the moment they were posted, resulting in a shortage of green-rated missions. I guess I could consider myself quite lucky that I have even been able to snatch one green-rated mission. Well, it wasn't like I could improve my soul if I just destroyed planets from above the atmosphere... The green difficulty planets were easy to destroy, but that meant no improvement in the soul department for me. I'm pretty sure those demons at the Yellow difficulty and above should have created some type of barrier or they should have created something else to protect their planet from outer attacks that would end up destroying th

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Missions, missions, missions! (Part 2)

    I kept my senses alert and open to any dimensional attacks from The Devil, now that I was on his territory, I needed to keep my guard up 100% of the time.Seeing how I was becoming serious made the green-skinned demon slowly lose his drunken stupor as the bones he used to pin my wrists and legs became sharper and tried to dig into my flesh.But the moment that happened, clanging sounds came from the contact between my metalized flesh and the bones that were attempting to dig into my body.I smiled at his attempt to injure me as I drew the sword out of my armor's storage space.I enhanced the blade with a golden sheen as I slashed forward, sending a flying slash directly toward the green demon who bent his back backward as if he had no bones in his body, barely dodging the flying slash as it flew ahead and cut into the other demons who were fighting with Shira and were unable to get out of the way in time, transforming them into mincemeat.Shira glanced back at me as I shrugged my shou

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Missions, missions, missions! (Part 3)

    After the destruction of the first yellow-difficulty planet, we started to travel towards the second one, which wasn't that far from the first one. Shira and I dropped directly through the barrier, creating a crater on the surface of the planet. We looked around as we were immediately encircled by demons, this time around it was just like I thought it would be. Even the 7 sin wielders came forward and started to fight us, using their annoying abilities to keep us in check while the lower-ranked demons tried to exhaust and bleed us out. Unfortunately for them, we weren't dumb enough to come to this place without a plan, plus our strength was quite higher compared to theirs, so it was easy to make them think they were winning at first before dealing them a thunderous blow that made them stagger and lose all of their strength. The encirclement was broken as we killed four of the seven sin wielders, the other three capitulated and said they wanted to become our subordinates, but we h

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Missions, missions, missions! (Part 4)

    Shira didn't say anything as we slowly started to float into the air. After we bombed the planet into smithereens, and we found no fragment of a world item once again we slowly began to fly towards the last yellow-mission planet. Shira didn't even look in my direction as she flew slightly farther away, keeping a distance between us. it was obvious she was extremely upset with my words and actions, which would affect her future battle capabilities, and the increasing difficulty of the missions meant that she might become a burden. I did love her, but that didn't mean that I would let her skulk around for the wellbeing of some nobodies that she wanted to save. I knew that Shira's opinion was important to her, but I was unable to accept it, especially since it made her do such useless things. She had gone through such dangerous situations, she backstabbed, and her father wanted to take over her body to complete his power since she has been conceived, and yet, she was still quite pur

  • The Ultimate Devourer   Missions, missions, missions! (Part 5)

    Well, the natives could wait until we got rid of the demons in front of us.The canon fodder had already been mostly taken care of, leaving us to deal with the seven sin wielders and the 3 peculiar law users.The sin wielders were easy to guess since we had prior experience with the type of abilities they wielded, the problem was dealing with these 3 new law users.I and Shira nodded at each other in unison, we had to blitz the sin users to lower the difficulty of the fight ahead.I and Shira appeared directly in front of the wrath sin user, hitting him directly in the head with a combination attack.My metalized hands broke his face in while Shira's fiery fists burnt it into cinders, removing his head from his shoulders and killing the demon instantly.One sin down, six to go.Our movements were too quick, but the demons weren't dumb and they understood that we started to get rid of the weaker party to pave our way to victory.So the demons started to pair up, standing back to back.

  • 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
