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 Ultimate Devourer 13th legacy
After securing the 12th legacy, it was time to move on to the 13th. Its location was getting increasingly closer to the radius where the world tree's presence could be felt quite strongly, which gave me some doubts about the ability of the illusory shield that surrounded me. Would it be able to withstand the world tree's influence?The World Tree's strength was something that I couldn't fathom with my current senses, however, from what I could see right now, its consciousness was hibernating.Atleast I couldn't feel the eyes of an overwhelmingly powerful being trying to scan the area for me. After all, I was still near a historical site that should be considered a shame for the world tree and its subordinates.However, besides the wisps of the forest, there was no extra surveillance put in this location, maybe the wisps themselves were good enough, so they didn't bother adding more?Well, that was good, since they put their best surveillance in this 'important' area, which meant tha
The Ultimate Devourer 14th Legacy (Part 1)
After getting my hands on the 14th legacy, I could feel my hands itch as I realized that the items that held the legacy pieces were passively helping me to increase my soul strength.Before the 13th piece, the passive increase wasn't noticeable because it was extremely small, but after gaining the 13th legacy, the passive increase had skyrocketed up to 100x more than the minuscule amount from before!Of course, a small amount increased by 100x still couldn't be considered too high, but since it became noticeable, then it meant that the progress was extremely high, considering that my current soul strength was inching closer and closer to entering balance with my bodily strength.This was another benefit from the legacy that made me glad I hunted for it and even offended these three Orcs for it!It doesn't matter that they hate me now, because, in the end, I would be the last one standing!I charged out of the cave after I analyzed and searched through every nook and cranny, making sur
The Ultimate Devourer 14th Legacy (Part 2)
I tried to confirm my theory and closed my eyes as a purple aura started to engulf my body. I could feel my surroundings stop to a standstill as the whole area around me started to crack.I took one step forward and the cracks exploded into pieces, then I looked at my surroundings, and I noticed that nothing changed.It was hard to understand how skipping time worked, this was a theory beyond my understanding with the current soul power I possessed, but I think I was able to use the technique successfully.There was no one around me to confirm that I had skipped time, and it was hard to notice how the movements were changing by myself.I tried to do another experiment as I closed my eyes for a brief second as everything around me entered a standstill once more, I extracted energy from my body and inserted it into my eyes as I concentrated on combining my physical sight and soul sight to catch a glimpse of a speedy figure moving through the air.That speedy figure was colored blood red
The Ultimate Devourer 14th Legacy (Part 3)
To get the 14th legacy, I had to employ some extreme methods. I couldn't help but look down at my limp body, which still had its eyes open as I shook my head and closed my soul's eyes.Slowly, the purple aura came to life around my soul as everything around me stood at a standstill. The red feathery tail became visible in my soul's senses as I was finally able to catch a glimpse of the bird's whole body.It was a red parrot!The parrot was moving around haphazardly in circles inside the house we were in, there was nothing that could be seen in its dull green eyes, and it felt like all he was doing was on autopilot.There was nothing to be said as I lounged towards him in my soul form, grabbing the feathery tail as the time around me started to move once again, my soul body started to move in circles with the parrot as the speed was so high that I could feel cracks appearing on my soul, but as soon as the cracks appeared, they mended by themselves.The parrot continued to move for a fe
The Ultimate Devourer The 15th legacy (Part 1)
I looked down at my soul body and shook my head. I needed to return as quickly as possible. Who knew what would happen to my body when it lacked a soul?I concentrated on the same sensation I felt before as I repeated the steps inside my soul, creating a burst of energy that propelled me back toward the location of my body.Thankfully I still had quite a lot of energy left inside my soul from my physical body's reserves, or else I wouldn't have been able to do the soul acceleration technique a second time.I opened my eyes as I left the indent of my body in the tree I previously stood on, the tree itself fell to the ground as it was destroyed by the impact of my soul entering my body and pushing it backward.I could feel blood dripping from my forehead as it got cut slightly, but the cut quickly closed as I looked around and then dug underground before covering my tracks.That tree going down should have alerted some of the patrols that made their way around here.I could feel footste
The Ultimate Devourer The 15th Legacy (Part 2)
The oil lamp sat there quietly as I tried to touch it, but before I could do so, the vile green and goey oil that now was spilled on the floor started to move on its own and grabbed at my hand! The oil moved on like a snake as it tried to coil around my arm, but with my reflexes and instincts, would the oil be able to move onto my hand if I didn't want it to? I could sense no danger from it, so I let it coil around my hand, transforming itself into a snake tattoo as I could feel an immense amount of soul energy go towards my newly created second brain! The brain slowly took its fill until it reached its maximum capacity, reaching the same level of strength as the original brain! The soul energy stopped when both of my brains were filled to the brim with soul energy, the snake tattoo remained on my right hand as it slithered through the armor's gaps into the metal gloves before imprinting itself on my hand. I could feel my connection to the bronze lamp and all that soul energy that
The Ultimate Devourer A conversation with a being older than civilization
The path towards the chief's house was easily cleaned by the observing elves, but that didn't mean they went to do whatever they were supposed to after they scattered. Most of them stayed behind and watched me using their special observation techniques and the like. They were all wondering what the chief's message contained, as only the very first few sentences were told to them by the chief, the fortune of a person coming out of the death trap that stood below their village, a person that they should simply greet and then lead to him... I ignored the curious gazes of the night elves that traveled around my body as I followed that one particular female elf that first approached me. The buildings of their village were quite simple but still looked quite exquisite as they were seemingly made better compared to the ones at the blood elves' village. Nature blended better in their village, almost as if it was showing its favor towards the night elves, and the structures looked majestic

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
