The Ultimate Devourer The way back (Part 2)
Our showcases of the last vanguards didn't deter any of the enemies that were around us.I could still feel their gazes linger on my and Shira's bodies, hoping to see any weaknesses or feel the amount of energy that we had drained against the Fire God when we fought him.These outsiders weren't dumb, they knew that our strength was relatively high if we were able to invade and kill a Fire God avatar.But they were also greedy. They wanted a pass onto our planet so they could get their hands on the treasures that existed on it.I knew that there were quite a lot of ingredients and items that could be useful for training, but I never needed them due to my special circumstances.However, for others, these items could be like life-giving elixirs that would make their power soar to new levels.I didn't care about these outsiders and their goals, but their actions would bring the evolution of our planet down since they would most likely try to get what they wanted through violence, not trad
The Ultimate Devourer Barred from entry
Our movement forward lasted for a bit of time before we were attacked again, but the new enemies didn't even last for a few seconds before they entered my belly.I shook my head slightly as I thought that I would get some entertainment from these weaklings.They were only here to probe the strength of the planet's top dogs so their higher-ups could decide whether to attack or not.We were slowly getting near the planet as the world tree's crown was getting bigger and bigger in our view, and so were the planet's ocean and the four continents.The closer we got to the planet, the faster my two hearts started beating, making men narrow my eyes as I patted Shira's head and told her to stop.I looked around using my strengthened soul-searching ability before I realized that there was nothing out of the ordinary, no ambushes left either.The vanguard had already scouted out whatever they needed to learn from me and Shira, so there was no reason to thin their numbers more than they already h
The Ultimate Devourer Barrier breaking (Part 1)
After a little more chatting with the Druid Guard, I decided to go out and wait for Alliron and Aratas.I shook my head when Shira glanced at me before saying:"Our best bet is waiting for those two to come back, I'm not sure why it takes them so much time. Since we already got rid of our opponent, they should have also killed theirs by now."While I and Shira were waiting, back at the crumbling four elemental heavens...In the conjoined Water and Earth Heaven, Alliron was currently dragging a gigantic body behind him in his right hand, while his left hand held a supple female body that had blue skin and hair, she was wearing a small bikini that only covered her private parts.The hulking body was made out of brown earth, and it had strong chiseled muscles and a nondescript face that had been shattered, along with being completely naked.The female was currently trashing in Alliron's grip, doing her best to get free, but it was a futile attempt at best.Alliron glanced back at her, ma
The Ultimate Devourer Barrier breaking (Part 2)
I could see Alliron and Aratas coming back from the distance, and when I blinked my eyes, they were already closing on us!Alliron had a small smile on his face as he waved to us, while Aratas was serious as he glanced back at something that I and Shira couldn't see.Alliron was the first to arrive as he looked at us up and down before saying:"You two did a great job against the Fire God, good work!"Shira wasn't impressed by Alliron's praise as he looked at Aratas, hoping that he would be the one to praise her.Aratas didn't even bother glancing towards Shira, making her deflate like a ballon since her idol didn't pay her any attention.However, she puffed back up as she said:"Aratas, should we break through the barrier that covers the planet now?"Only after having his name mentioned did Aratas look at her, but he shook his head at Shira's suggestion and then motioned with his hand towards Alliron:"This little guy will tell you what we need to do to the barrier, I need to keep my
The Ultimate Devourer A timely fight
Our time-skip abilities clashed directly, creating purple spatial lightning that started to break the surrounding stars.However, my base strength was quite higher compared to the fat demon, so even though he seemed to have the edge in the time-skip clash, he was the one who ended up being pushed back in the end.The demon's fat trembled slightly after losing the clash. He could feel the shockwaves from the surrounding reverberating in his belly as he glanced at me with serious eyes.He was the guardian of this node, and I was sure the other three must have also found similar endeavors to deal with.Alliron and Aratas should have been done by now considering that the stronger demons were still locked in hell due to the abundant vitality of the living realm.Shira should also be done soon, so I should do my best to get a little bit more experience before devouring this demon, getting everything I could from him.Seeing how my eyes targeted him with somewhat of a serious look, the demon
The Ultimate Devourer The situation on the surface
To my words, Alliron said:"So you are finally ready? Ok then, I guess we can start."Shira couldn't help but comment:"I see you had quite the trouble with your opponent if you didn't respond to our words for such a long time."I declined to say anything to Shira, not like what she thought mattered.Seeing how I remained silent, Shira huffed but didn't continue as Alliron said:"Ok, focus now, we all need to strike at the same time to give the biggest backlash to those pesky demons behind the barrier. We already killed the guards protecting these specific nodes, so there is nothing else to worry about, you should go all out with your strength!"Go all out with my strength?I flexed my muscles slightly as I took a firing pose and the energy inside my body started to gather at my hands and mouth.I slowly gathered enough energy until I felt this should be the best example of my current strength.It took to gather the energy around 1.5 seconds, good enough to do in a fight while keeping
The Ultimate Devourer Arriving in hell
The waves started to move faster and faster as Alliron prepared to dive into the water.He made a gesture with his eyes to tell us that we should follow him immediately.Shira nodded, and I did the same, while Aratas just plopped into the water like a fish!Alliron shook his head as he dropped into the water as well, we followed him behind as we submerged as well.I could feel the water trying to sap my strength as pressure started to mount onto my shoulders, but all I had to do was shake my body a little to disperse any of the negative effects that the water had on me, but it looked like Shira wasn't doing so well as I glanced at her, seeing that her face was scrunched up, annoyed at the conditions that were now being imposed on her body.We could still see the trails of Alliron and Aratas that were left behind, but soon enough they would disperse, so I decided to grab Shira by the waist using my arm and started to follow the duo's trails before they could disappear.The situation in
The Ultimate Devourer Seeing Hell with your own eyes
The darkness that was veiling my eyes continued to remain there for a few minutes, and when I opened them again, there was lava and an apocalyptic environment now surrounding me.Shira, Alliron, and Aratas were missing, and I could see around me a desolate desert that was way emptier than the one in the Duramato Continent.There was something strange in this part of hell, I could recognize it as being the first layer, but there was something strange about it.Usually, imps and the lower-level demons would be running around, trying to kill each other or do some other activities around this desolate desert, but there was nothing around here now.Everything was too silent, and I doubt that the weakest demons would leave hell.They wouldn't be useful. Some of them were even weaker than normal human civilians, they would be safer here.Despite their weaknesses, most of the low-level demons were abnormally smart, so they would know the best to remain here.What were the higher-ups concoctin

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
