The Ultimate Devourer The legacy's true meaning
After settling things between me and Skeral, we were finally getting on the road once again. Skeral created another spatial passage which we boarded before we made our way through, scanning the desert for more legacy pieces. Soon enough, we were able to find some, but we found that they were fragmented compared to all of the other complete legacies we found, which meant that we couldn't read or make use of the legacy until we got all of the pieces. But it didn't look like it fragmented during its long stay underground, but that it was fragmented in the first place, which meant that Alliron did this on purpose. What was he playing at? Scattering so many places with his experimentation sites, then doing something like this where he broke the information he left behind into more pieces intentionally. Was he trying to make the people who were finding his legacy fight amongst themselves? What was his intention? I and Skeral had to argue about our previous promise that I would give hi
The Ultimate Devourer The truth about the Gods and Demons
Seeing how I was interested in his words made Alliron smile as he said:"So you don't buy the myths about hell and heavens as well, am I right?"I couldn't say I truly didn't since I never interacted with someone who could reinforce my disbelief, but I had my thoughts regarding this matter which were coincidentally in line with Alliron's thinking.Seeing how I didn't respond made Alliron chuckle as he told me:"You think that hell would be in its current situation if those Gods didn't interfere to do something?"I cocked my head to the side, so hell's matter wasn't an inside job where the current demons revolted against the special torture that was supposed to be inflicted on their bodies and mutated?"For starters, hell was always only a place where the dead of this planet would go to reincarnate, sins didn't matter much as there were no tortures or the like, sinful people were just given shittier and lowlier lives compared to what they had previously, some of them would even be rein
The Ultimate Devourer Incomplete legacy (For the time being)
The surroundings around me cracked and broke as I woke up near Skeral, who was looking at my blank expression before saying:"You ok? You have stood there like that for three seconds even though I called you."I nodded before ripping a piece of the golden ball and handing it over to Skeral, making him grab it quickly as he jumped a few meters away from me before asking:"What did the scroll entail?"I looked down at my hands where the scroll previously was before shaking my head and saying:"It's some more special experiments and soul techniques that Alliron did, but they were meant only for one person to claim due to the fragile old paper, and the way Alliron ripped it to pieces made it quite weak."Skeral was skeptical towards my words, but I ignored him as I opened the map of the desert that Alliron gave me in my mind before I drew Xs over the places that we already visited and took the legacies from there, leaving behind only the areas that supposedly still had legacies, if they w
The Ultimate Devourer The pieces of the puzzle align
Finding the other legacy parts wasn't very hard, considering I had a detailed map of where I could get them, but in the end, I was only able to get seven of the legacy parts, while three were held by the Orcs.The two books made one part, and the soul forging and soul gold made two parts, even though it was incomplete, I still had my half of the gold after I gave Skeral the promised amount.The clock made the third part, and the shovel made the fourth part.The fifth part consisted of a special pencil made out of stone which contained the legacy of soul writing, with his experiments Alliron had been able to learn how to use his soul to write messages hidden by the normal sight of mortal beings, but the technique itself was very useless in most situations unless you had someone strong enough as an ally to help you after they saw your soul message.The sixth part was what I had been looking for a little bit of time since I had to get rid of Shuria.It was a small golden fork that contai
The Ultimate Devourer Skeral's obvious betrayal
My soul improvements were massive, making me understand things that I previously was unable to.Of course, the understanding didn't run very deep, but it still showed that my progress was affecting me on a deep level that was starting to shift my talent in the right direction!I couldn't help but become a little bit happy as the embers of Shuria's soul tried to curse at me while I devoured him wholly.However, no sound could come out of his soul as the top side had already been wolfed down into my soul.My laugh started to echo into my mindscape as I opened my eyes to the real world and glanced at Skeral, who was just putting the finishing touches on his broken horn, finally fixing it and recovering his previous powers.I dusted my armor as I got up and glanced at Skeral's changing body.His previously red skin was getting white tints on it as a tattoo-like branch started to spread and cover the top of his body, hugging his chest and giving him a strange look.His left horn started to
The Ultimate Devourer The limits of the soul consuming technique
I could feel Skeral's consciousness fragment as I slowly broke him using the soul-consuming technique. Still, those intrusive thoughts from his consciousness were slowly melding into mine as he didn't lose his individuality yet.I could feel those thoughts that I separated from his main soul and devoured them, they were all trying to wrest control of my own soul, but they were easily being crushed under the overwhelming difference of my newly strengthened soul that just finished the integration with Shuria.My eyes glowed brightly as I felt Skeral trying to fight back using his soul.As a demon, his soul was quite strong, and previously I haven't trained my soul at all, if I didn't devour Shuria first, who was a particularly old and strong soul, I would have had a hard time fighting Skeral's soul counterattacks.But now, I was able to easily parry them as I continued to devour the whole being that made Skeral up.My soul was slowly strengthening under the constant addition of the mass
The Ultimate Devourer The attention of a sinful demon
Darnioz's strange interference made me think heavily about the strength and abilities of the demons that even Skeral was unable to learn about in his brief life in the 13th layer.He was able to grow quickly through treachery and his innate talent, soon enough, the memories that couldn't affect me very much started to seep into my soul after Skeral lost control of everything that made him up, thus leading to the full consumption of his soul.He had lost everything, and his everything had become mine now.The other memories contained his inherited techniques as a demon along with the way he had grown to his current strength.He had betrayed and made contracts with low-level humans at small intervals, getting his way to the 13th layer of hell where he started, and failed a coup against Darnioz.However, the techniques that he contained were mostly unusable to me, at least the ones that had to do with the demonic lineage as I was unable to create the contracts and binds that demons could
The Ultimate Devourer Convenient travelling ability
The soul was very disoriented as it shifted through all of the experiences that it consumed, but I was able to endure the pain as I sat down and rested with closed eyes.The new conditions to let Alliron go free had already been created, and hopefully, he will accept them without complaint...They weren't anything out of Alliron's scope of being able to do, I was just a little bit paranoid and I wanted some guarantee that he won't betray me the moment he broke free of his chains...The man was a genius who experimented with lives for more than a few years, so his words and promises could be questionable at best.I sighed as I still needed to raid the Lighting Chasers' fortress and reach the inner place where they stored the artifacts containing Alliron's legacy.Only with the 10 pieces of the legacy would I be able to enter the Night Elves' forest undetected before going to the locations that Alliron gave me to retrieve the remaining 5 legacy parts.The Night Elves gave me a strange s

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
