The Ultimate Devourer Moving onto the war chief
My arrival to the next city went undetected, just like the previous one. I left the drake a few kilometers away from the city and infiltrated it with no problems.The city structures were very similar compared to each other, so it was easy to find the locations where I could hide in the shadows and dominate the passing by Orcs who seemed to be tired from what I supposed was a war that happened some time ago.Most Orcs had some dried-out blood on their bodies and leather clothes, showing that they had fought a war some days ago, it was quite strange they still felt so tired even though a few days had passed considering the stamina and recovery capabilities that their tough bodies were having.I scratched my head as I thought about this strange sign, but I couldn't come up with anything, for the time being, so I continued to dominate the Orcs until I found the location of the strongest Orc in this city.I was able to take him by surprise when I dropped from a building while he was sharp
The Ultimate Devourer The strength of a war chief
The surroundings started to shake as the Orcs looked at the lake with scared expressions on their faces. They tried to get away from me as they tiptoed to the back, ignoring the drake that was over them, being quite a bit more scared of the war chief that was just making their way out of the water.The water from the oasis slowly parted as a head became visible.Surprisingly it was a rather womanly face that had quite a few scars on it and the normal features of an Orc, green skin, a rather big nose, and sharp teeth. But it was obvious from her features that she was a female Orc.The body that came out of the water had cuts, bruises, and scars on it. The muscles were glistening from the water as they contracted and shook while her aura increased even further as she saw me and said:"You are the pink skin that the Orgumak clan had warned me about."The female war chief stretched her body, revealing all of her pure muscles as popping sounds were heard coming from her sturdy bones that c
The Ultimate Devourer Intense close-combat fighting
Our fists crossed once again as I tried to grab her by the shoulders and throw her down below into the cave.I could see that there was an underground river in this cave, so I did my best to throw her away from it so she wouldn't get any cushion from falling into the water.My attempts failed as I was unable to throw her because she snaked her way out of my grasp using flexibility that shouldn't belong to her bulky body before she headbutted me in the face, breaking my nose and making me fall into the water with her.I intensified the lightning energy that came from my body as I hoped it would transmit through the water and numb her a bit.However, she was completely immune to the lightning as we jumped out of the water and continued our fight.A right hook from her slid down my sword as I tried to cut her hand off, only for my slash to miss as she took one step backward at the exact moment I tried to do my slash, only getting a slight nick on the back of her hand that closed up immed
The Ultimate Devourer The power of sharpened instincts
It was time to start round two, and we started with a thunderous clash that made the whole surroundings shake, evaporating some of the underground rivers behind us as we clashed our fists together, using everything we got.My body started to actively use the instincts that I have slowly tempered during my stay in the desert, slowly adapting to the War Chief's chaotic fighting style.Everything felt automatic to me, I didn't have to put any thoughts into moving my feet or legs as they would do it on their own, leaving my brain free to think about anything else while my body was doing all of the heavy loadings.It was a pretty surreal experience, almost as if someone else was controlling me, but I could feel that if I wanted to, I could still go against my instincts and move differently.However, my instincts told me that this was the best way to combat the War Chief, so I let them take over while I concentrated on hastening the energy flow through my body to continue fueling the multip
The Ultimate Devourer Mission complete
I decided to help her up as I injected some blood energy into her heart, making it pump at a regular speed and somewhat fixing what I had broken before.However, the blood energy I injected into her heart was also a warning and a binding as I would not let her go so quickly, it was dumb to believe her without leaving anything in place to coerce her into not betraying me at the first chance she got.The blood energy I injected into her heart acted like a time bomb, if she did something that I would find less than good against me, I would then explode her heart and kill her instantly.This was my leverage against her.Mandaia understood what happened, so she nodded and said:"Atleast you are not foolish enough to not put a restricting leash on me, let's go."We jumped out of the underground cave that we created and arrived back at the location that was previously an oasis.Now all that was left back there was a huge hole and some trees at the edges that were slowly dying out due to the
The Ultimate Devourer Searching for the Orgumak clan
To find that certain thing that made the continent special, I would need help and some insider information that I couldn't get my hands on so easily, so I sent a telepathic message at long-range to all of the Orcs that I have dominated so they could start an information search about the Orgumak clan.The Orgumak clan was an underground local here that seemed to contain a lot of intelligent Orcs, and whoever controlled them most likely did it so he could search for the special thing that the continent held. And they most likely thought that I was their competitor since I started to control Orcs as they did.At first, I came for the mission that the demon had given me, but now I was going to become their competitor...I wasn't sure why they had stopped sending assassins for me, but I guessed they most likely realized that the Orcs wouldn't be able to kill me with their meek strength, so they were most likely trying to dominate war chiefs or build up their strength to get rid of me once
The Ultimate Devourer Orgumak clan ambush
The number of Orcs that were waiting for me down on the ground wasn't little.They stretched a little bit into the horizon as they all wielded a variety of weapons, waiting for the order from their boss to swarm me.I made the drake fly away as I didn't want to lose this mount for nothing and cracked my knuckles in preparation for the battle that was to come.Out of the wave of Orcs came one that had green glowing eyes as a double-layered voice came out of his mouth, indicating that whoever was controlling these Orcs was the one talking to me right now:"If you know what's good for you, you should leave the Duramato continent as soon as possible, I will not pursue the fact that you have dominated quite a bit of Orcs, but you cannot stay on this continent one minute longer if you want to live!"I looked at this particular Orc before asking:"Oh, and why is that so? What is this continent hiding that you would go to such great lengths of ambushing me with your army?"The Orc snorted as
The Ultimate Devourer The secrets of the desert
To travel underground, I slightly punched the sand, creating a hole where I and the shadowy being dropped directly inside.When we reached a stop, I would punch again, creating another hole that led us forward into the underground, making our way farther and farther until I got to a place that I could not break using my whole strength.That's where I started to move to the side, trying to find a location I could break and then drop into that underground pocket where I couldn't break the soil.Slowly I reached a place where I could break while not getting too far away from that position where I was unable to move further.That's where I and the shadowy being fell into an underground cavern that was very dimly illuminated.The location was very dark, and I could barely make out a temple that stretched out in front of us even with my superior eyesight, meaning that whatever was around here was messing with my senses.The shadowy being was silent up till now, but after they were able to c

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
