The Ultimate Devourer Getting to work on controlling four mid-size cities
After I finished settling things and dominating the whole Snake Hunters tribe, I was ready to hit the dusty desert road once again to make my way through this continent and reach the next city.Gurkug had to stay here to protect the city from possible Orc invaders, and I didn't want to lose the city so soon, so I had to let him stay since he was the strongest combatant in the city at the moment.I transmitted a message to the small orc village that I captured that they could come to the city and settle there as they were also controlled by me, the path I had taken was already pretty bare of desert monsters, so they could take that path and arrive at the city in one piece to reinforce its guards.The village orcs weren't that strong, but there was always strength in numbers for the orcs.I left the city behind me as I took one more glance back at it before my body disappeared into the sandstorm that just started revving up in the distance.The sandstorm was quite strong as the wind att
The Ultimate Devourer Tavern Fight
The Orc's combat power was rather high as he was able to use basic swordsmanship, combined with the bodily strength of an Orc gave him quite a confidence boost against me. He was throwing small slashes all over the place, which gave me a hard time dodging in the closed space which was the tavern, the other Orcs started shouting and laughing as they continued drinking and cheering the fight on, enjoying the show.The Orc looked me up and down as he tightened the grip on his hook sword and said:"What are you? You are no Orc, fair pinkish skin, and a good-looking face."The Orc let the tip of his tongue come out as he licked his lips and said:"I will enjoy cutting that face open and eating the skin."The Orc's words attracted more cheering from the crowd behind me as I shook my head and unsheathed my blade before we met in the middle, sword against sword.The material my sword was made from was of high quality, while his sword was already rusting, so it was obvious what was going to ha
The Ultimate Devourer The history of hell
"You are trying to help me?"My question made the wraith snort as he responded:"Help you? No, I'm trying to help myself here. The demon will take me back after the mission is finished, and I don't want to get back to hell! Even if I'm bound to you, at least I can experience the living plane instead of being tortured in hell.""Ok, so what's the plan, how do I escape the demon's clutches?"It was obvious from the wraith's tone of voice that he still hated the demons even though he had made a 'fair' contract with them."For starters, the demons don't have eyes everywhere because the living and the gods are still denying them power. However, if you go with the plan that your friend has put in motion, soon the balance between the gods, demons, and devils will break apart, and the demons would be able to arrive from hell to the living plane!"The wraith continued as some anger seeped into his tone once again:"And that damn piece of shit demon is not to be trusted. I'm pretty sure that th
The Ultimate Devourer Rectifying plans
First things first, I contacted Ludeus using the bond between us, soon enough, I heard his voice appearing in my head and asking: "Minato? Why are you contacting me? Did something go wrong?" I responded as quickly as possible while I moved according to the wraith's instructions, trying to find the demonic gate in the Duramato continent. "Yes, there are huge problems, here is the gist of it." After I gave him a lengthy explanation about the problems that we would face if we did kill everyone and turned them into undead, Ludeus stood silent for more than a few minutes before a response came: "That's troublesome, I wanted the human continent for myself, and that's how the contract I made with those three liches stipulates, but I guess once the contract is finished the demons can swarm the living realm and take everything inside it, I don't want that, but I also want to turn these damned people into undead, this is a problem." "The demons cannot be trusted in any circumstances. They
The Ultimate Devourer Gaining a new pet
After I took one more glance at the demonic gate, the wraith stopped the connection between my vision and his, making me unable to see the gate anymore.I shook my head and consulted my map before making my way to the next city. I had already captured two of them, and there were two left before I could reach the one that contained a war chief.The desert was like always, arid during the day and cold during the night, infested with scorpions, vultures, and snakes, all poisonous to boot, even the vultures.But the further I got towards the middle of the continent, the more I felt the heat increase, bearing down on my body and making me have to shed my upper armor as the metal conducted the heat from the sun to cook my body.Now I understood why the orcs usually didn't have anything on their upper body and only wore light leather pants or only a thong.The heat was pretty strong at the beginning of the continent too, and for those Orcs who could be considered rather weak, the heat should
The Ultimate Devourer Getting closer to the warchief
Flying on the drake was way faster compared to trudging through the sand, the heat that was beating on my body lowered my speed somewhat, and the desert was especially big, making it quite hard to travel compared to the other continents, so it was quite hard to arrive from city to city in a few days, but with the drake, it was very easy to do so.I could even see the silhouette of the next city from the top of the drake as I made him stop and wait for me at that location before I dropped down from it, using some wind energy to slow my fall and create a slight sand cloud as I arrived on the ground.I shook my body to clear off the sand, and I started to slowly make my way toward the city, bidding my time for the darkness to arrive.Night slowly came as I arrived at the city and I scaled the walls, making my way to the archer's towers, where I added them to my army.Surprisingly, the composition of the Orc army was somewhat systematical as every city had archer towers to observe any pos
The Ultimate Devourer One city away
The memories flowing through my brain were fast-paced as they came from the Orcs' POV.I could feel the desert wind brushing towards my face in the memories of the Orc as they became mine, suddenly, a small alarm tingled my brain, making shivers go down my spine, and having me move my head to the side, dodging a thick arrow with a very sharp arrowhead that almost impaled me in the eye.I analyzed the memory and that small alarm that came from the Orc's brain gave me a slight idea of how they had refined their instincts to the point they worked automatically in their favor.It was a combination of muscle memory and sharpened senses that went to the point of reaching such high levels that even if I enhanced my senses with energy, I would barely be able to reach the same level as the Orc I just killed. Unfortunately for him, the senses were almost like a toxin in situations where you could sense what was going to happen, but you were unable to cope with it due to the lack of strength/spe
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 '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
