The Ultimate Devourer The calm before the storm
My soul sense analyzed the whole fortress, but I found some strange locations that I would need to approach further if I wanted to see what was happening inside.However, I knew that doing such a thing would most likely ring an alarm, and that wasn't something that I would like.Alarming them of the incoming army wasn't a good idea as that would give them more time to prepare.For now, I decided to try and analyze the condition and makings of the barrier to find a chance where I could break it.It looked perfect on the surface, but maybe this perfection was just an illusion meant to deter those who tried to break it.Now how would I go and get a crack at it without making a ruckus?It should take at least two days before my troops would arrive, and considering the long-range observation abilities that the Lightning Chasers have, they should be able to identify the gathering army quite easily as none of them had the spatial knowledge that I have now gained.I was able to observe them f
The Ultimate Devourer Unable to infiltrate silently
I and Mandaia were making our way around the fortress in the underground, trying to find any location that we could use to enter the place undetected.Unfortunately, no matter how we tried to look through around, we were unable to find another weak spot beside the one that would attract the attention of every living being in the fortress, which was against my original plan.I sighed and looked at Mandaia, who was unable to keep herself calm as she wanted to go and fight with her people.But considering she was going to fight someone very strong with me soon enough, she decided to keep her wits and wait.I tried to find any place that I could use to enter the fortress, but this place did not have any cave or underground system that I could use, every tunnel that we were using right now was created right at this moment by me using earth elemental energy.Unfortunately, the castle was covered by the barrier in a perfect loop, so I couldn't break it from below or above.That was a problem
The Ultimate Devourer 10 Legacies
The two books, the golden ball, the small rusted knife, the clock, the golden fork, the shovel, the medallion, the stone pencil, and lastly, the silver coin.These were the ten pieces of the legacy that I now had in the storage spatial dimension.My soul burned with the addition of the three new pieces as they created a symbiosis with the seven legacies that I previously held.The golden ball's soul-forging knowledge had already been seared into my brain beforehand, but now, two more legacies were being sent to my soul.The medallion contained the legacy of soul-splitting. It was like creating a clone to help your soul survive if it would ever be destroyed.The split soul would then grow onto its own, regaining the memories of the main soul if it perished.Normally when someone died, their soul was sent to hell, but with the creation of a soul-attracting altar where you would put the piece of your soul, that wasn't the case anymore.This was a good way to revive since the soul would r

It felt like a pair of eyes was always on my body, never fading. The slimy feeling that I was constantly being watched made me almost want to hurl on the spot. I gritted my teeth as I realized what that blood arrow did to me. After it had dissolved into my bloodstream it created a resonation with the elder that I ran away from, basically giving him a radar that could detect me at any time, regardless of where I was hiding! The arrow dissolved too quickly, or else I would have cut off my left leg before it could spread... I couldn't help but gnash my teeth in anger as I controlled the coordinates of the spatial tunnel that I just entered to make my way toward the Night Elves forest. This was the sole location that the three Orcs couldn't enter with their vast amount of strength, so them knowing that I was inside the forest wouldn't help them one bit! However, I wasn't in the forest yet, and even with the spatial traveling, it would take me at least one or two minutes to arrive at
The Ultimate Devourer The Elven Forest's Wonders
I could feel myself falling slowly as I realized that my consciousness had gone to sleep.My body was unresponsive as it needed time to heal, and this made me very uncomfortable.While I have escaped the pursuit of those Orcs, that didn't mean I was safe in any circumstance!I wasn't sure if the gathering of the ten legacies will shield me from the Night Elves passively or if I would need to activate all of them together.That was a problem that made me mutter to myself as I looked at the darkness that surrounded me.Was this my mindscape?Every time I entered this type of realm I would use Shuria's mindscape, so I was never in my own until now because I didn't have time to enter such a deep meditative trance that was almost like sleep.But in this situation, it was truly sleeping.My body needed the extra healing factor from sleeping as it used too much energy to keep itself alive after I severed my own neck.As I looked around the place started to light up, showing memories, techniq
The Ultimate Devourer The 11th Legacy
After stomping onto my desire to taste Night Elf flesh once again, then I looked in the opposite direction, where the patrol went.The location of the 11th legacy wasn't very close, but Alliron did his best to put the legacies far apart from each other while being within the boundaries of the elven forest at the same time.This was most likely so his fellow elves couldn't get their hands on his legacies, meaning that he wasn't on good terms with them.I scratched my chin as I traveled forward into the forest, everywhere around me were trees, trees, and more trees.They were all vibrant and full of life, and the leaves were a green so beautiful that it would take your attention for quite a bit of time.The flowers were blooming, and the fruits that hung from the branches of some trees were plump and looked quite delicious.It was a paradise on earth.But even though it looked like paradise, that didn't mean it was one.I could sense multiple beings with hostile intent roaming these woo
The Ultimate Devourer The 12th legacy
Being annoyed was my last worry as I waited for the squirrel to start moving once again.However, the little annoying thing didn't want to budge in any shape or form!It was moving so slowly that it made me want to break out of my meditation and snatch it, but I knew that I would fall for its trap if I did that.It wanted me to break my meditation so it could run back into the withered tree trunk.But I knew that it was forced to move as long as I was meditating!I sat under the withered tree, and time passed slowly, I checked my internal clock from time to time as the sun that shined above the elven forest cast down and night came.Crickets started to sing as they could be heard almost everywhere in the forest, boosting my concentration and improving my meditation, making the squirrel's small nose twitch in annoyance.I knew that the closer the squirrel got into my range, the slower it made itself to extend its lifespan, but I continued to wait.Time passed once again, and the sun re
The Ultimate Devourer The unspoken past
The lava pool below was creating toxic fumes that made my nose twitch as the smell of sulfur intensified in my nose.I couldn't help but let out a slight cough as I slowly descended along the earthen path to reach the twinkling down below.As I made my way down, I used the wall near the path to support my body as I felt that it was getting weaker and weaker the more I was descending, this place was robbing me of my oxygen!Normally I wouldn't need oxygen to breathe, but that was only because my body was absorbing and storing it inside, meaning that I could have oxygen for a long amount of time, combined with my body's lower needs for oxygen made me able to almost ignored the need of oxygen in most circumstances, but that didn't mean I didn't need it anymore!I still needed oxygen to live, but this damned place was robbing me of the one I saved!My danger senses were never wrong...What I needed to do now was quickly get the legacy and get the hell out of here before I lost the moistur

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
