The Ultimate Devourer The reason of the Orcs' movements
My attacks were slow while my injuries were healing and I was growing my second heart back. The Orc shaman that ambushed us was pretty surprised to see me get up and fight him without a heart, but he quickly understood that I must have another one as he focused on deflecting my and Skeral's combined attacks. Skeral was ready to unsheath his long sword as he took a drawing stance, making the Orc narrow his eyes as he unleashed a magic barrier that was cut into two the moment it came into existence. I could feel my second heart coming back into being as I attacked the Orc from behind, but he was able to catch my foot and throw me into Skeral, who disappeared into the void to avoid the collision before drawing out his sword once more thus making the Orc shaman bleed for the first time since we encountered each other. There was a shallow cut on the Orcs' neck that slowly closed and then he said: "I was wondering when the other continents would send people to this place to investigate o
The Ultimate Devourer Another evolution
Skeral was nursing his wounds as he looked at me from the corner of his eyes.He could feel the bitter taste of failure in his mouth as he spat on the ground and gritted his teeth at the failure of getting his hands on the medallion.Skeral and I thought that we would be able to defeat Korgumo and use the shamans to our advantage to get whatever was getting unearthed there, but we didn't know such a powerful explosion would come with the unearthing of the medallion.Our lack of information was the first step to our failure in this situation.My body continued to throb as I clutched my head, due to the lack of a full body and the destruction of cells, I was only able to scavenge ten years of memories from the ashes that I inhaled, not the full twenty-five even though we were both cannibals and I should be able to get one hundred percent of everything he had. Unfortunately, it was like eating only a part of the body and not all of it.I ignored the pain of my wrecked body as I focused o
The Ultimate Devourer Sense of urgency
While I was resting, Skeral felt something arrive in his right horn, he clutched it for a few seconds before his eyes widened, and he looked at me before saying:"It looks like Greed and Gluttony are allying."I cocked my head to the side before asking:"Demon of Gluttony and Greed? Allying? What is there to be scared of? It isn't their time to come to the surface yet, I already talked with my ally on the human continent and I'm sure he will do his best to delay their plan as much as possible." Skeral shook his head seeing how laidback I was before mentioning:"The problem of their alliance is that it shows that they are confident enough that they will ascend sooner rather than later.""In general, demons on the 13th layer won't make alliances unless they prepare for something big! The last time an alliance was made, I got my left horn broken and I was thrown out of the 13th layer!"I looked at Skeral up and down before asking:"Which sin were you?"Skeral laughed and shook his head
The Ultimate Devourer The tricky marauder tribe easily killed
I observed something while I tried to help Skeral with the toxins in his body. The agents that they were made from were very thorough and plant-based, most likely hand-picked from the Night Elves' forest at its borders, but the main ingredient that was used to create the toxin came from a very old serpent that most likely lived at the bottom of the desert.This was a very deadly combination that I was only barely to withstand due to my tempered body and my continuous usage of poison in my training.Skeral was having a hard time not keeling over and dying right now, but as a demon, it would be quite awkward for him to die due to poison.The problem was that he was a little bit weakened on the surface compared to the time he was back in hell. The air in the living realm was completely different from the one in hell, and his constitution didn't seem to be able to adapt to the surroundings in the living realm.Combined with the toxins that were running through his veins right now, it made
The Ultimate Devourer Alliron's puzzle
After I made sure there was no one spying on us from the trees, I floated to the top of the lake and looked at the waterfall in front of me.Skeral recovered somewhat as we both thought about any way to breach the waterfall barrier and get inside. We also needed to do it quickly, or else we would have visitors from the Marauder tribe who would be wondering what had happened to their scouts.Since Alliron was doing soul experimentation during his stay on the Duramato continent, then the puzzle's answer had to do something with souls. It was only logical.But what should we do with our souls to enter the place behind the waterfall?I looked at Skeral and thought for a few seconds more before I told him my idea:"Since Demons are made out of pure soul energy that is corrupted by sins, do you think you can shed your physical body and return to the pure state where you are only a soul? If my guess is correct, I think only soul bodies should be able to pass this waterfall."Skeral glanced a
The Ultimate Devourer The Lightning Chasers' plans (Part 1)
My speed had increased to the maximum as I tried to stop the Orc from retrieving whatever was inside his satchel, my speed increase surprised the Night Elves who were wondering what I was doing, but when they saw my urgency and the fact that the strongest Orc was trying to take something out of his drake-skin satchel, they quickly connected the dots.My speed was high enough, so I was able to slap the Orc's hand away from his satchel before he could open it. Then I tried to take it away from him by ripping the cord that was used to tie the satchel around his shoulder.However, the cord was surprisingly tough and flexible, making me unable to rip it apart quickly enough as I jumped backward to avoid the rusty sword that the Orc had swung at me after I had slapped his hand away from the satchel.Even though there were no runs on the sword, I could feel a powerful presence residing in it, which made me not want to get slashed regardless of how dull and rusty it seemed to be on the surfac
The Ultimate Devourer The Lightning Chasers' plans (Part 2)
I could barely resist the insane magic waves coming from the carved totem, and I knew that I needed to destroy it before things got worse.But my body wasn't responding to my commands as I could barely move.I felt my blood clotting in my body as I realized that my limbs started decaying, making my eyes widen as stage two of the totem activated after absorbing enough mental energy from the Orcs and Night Elves.I created a small fire arrow as I pointed towards the fallen totem on the ground and shot it, but all that did was push the totem backward, making me recover somewhat as I evaded out of its range.The totem didn't have any scratches on it as it started shaking slightly, making the earth below me start shaking as well, creating a mini earthquake that could only be felt in the immediate surroundings.I recovered my wits before activating all of my boosting techniques instinctively, the blood armor, blood doping, lightning, haste...I took two steps backward as I launched five mor
The Ultimate Devourer The Night Elve's heritage
I started with the Orcs since I was already used to their taste, they were a little bit cooked due to the explosion from the totem, but they still tasted rather horrendous.After finishing the remains, I moved toward the Night Elves, but out of the corner of my eyes I could see that one of the female elves was still breathing very shallowly, the fingers on her right hand moved slightly as she opened her eyes and started screaming like a madwoman.The effects of the insanity aura were still there, so I put her out of her misery before going ahead and eating the elves.My body exploded with a waterfall of energy that was seemingly endless after I finished eating all of the mixed remains from the Orcs and the Night Elves.The combination of Orcish and Elven energy gave me a rush as my body made cracking sounds to adapt to the elven energy, changing my skeleton slightly while creating a balance with the Orcish energy to move towards the 'perfect body type'. However, at this point, it wasn

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
