The Ultimate Devourer Slowly mastering laws
Shira's head moved slightly as she opened her eyes and glanced at me before smiling, giving me a peace sign as she said cutely:"Success!"I nodded at her, then I sat near her as the somewhat weakened and slightly injured Lisar and Malaria sat opposite of us on the meditating mats.Professor Fufflesnake made his way toward us, standing slightly farther from the center of the half-circle we made.He looked down at our sitting forms and coughed a bit to regulate his voice, then he started to explain using a raspy tone:"The metal and poison laws interact quietly through fusion, but instead of going directly to the relationship between these two, I shall start with the easier law."Using his pale skinny fingers, he drew a grey-colored shield made out of energy into the air.He then started to dissect the shield slowly as he explained:"The metal law is made of 3 big segments, sturdiness, sharpness, and malleability.""Sturdiness is how hard you can make your metal be or how hard you can
The Ultimate Devourer Discovering the law limits (Part 1)
This time around, instead of needles being inserted in our brains, Fufflesnake changed the way he imparted the law to us.We were all sitting on the meditation mat, just like before, our eyes were wide open as we concentrated on Fufflesnake's figure.The teacher in question was currently sweating a little bit as he created a small green powder cloud before he opened his mouth to say:"Before I impart you this knowledge and experiences, I will first explain to you about the poison law."He glanced toward Shira as he continued:"Some people can comprehend the poison law from either encountering too many poisons, getting afflicted by them or simply due to the specialty of their bloodline. Even though I have encountered quite a lot of poisons during my life, I belong to the latter category, just like my name indicates, I have a snake bloodline.""I won't go into details about the bloodline, but all I can say is that it helped me greatly to learn and master the poison law."He then glanced
The Ultimate Devourer Discovering the law limit (Part 2)
My train of thought was broken by a quick slashing attack that almost cut through my sides with its sharpness. I had reinforced that part preventively using the metal law's hardness, but it wasn't enough considering how far Fufflesnake was ahead of me regarding the metal law. His appliances were pretty smart as well, which made me copy them and attack him in the same way, slowly adapting to his fighting style while learning more and more about the metal law. Unfortunately, the more I learned, the harder it became to master it. I was slowly touching upon the limits of the laws. They couldn't be mastered immediately in quick bursts, there needed to be delays between them, it was just like muscles and other aspects of the body. Training too much without any rest would lead to the muscles breaking. Any sudden and constant changes would need to be adapted, and it seemed like this applied to the laws as well. The moment I reached 60% mastery, I realized that I couldn't take any more
The Ultimate Devourer Enjoying a leisure academy life (Part 1)
After the door closed behind us, Shira and I entered the room.The walls were bare, and there wasn't much in the room besides a bed and a desk, but it was pretty spacious as there was an empty training area to the side where you could meditate or learn some offensive techniques...After I finished looking around, I turned my gaze toward Shira, who had already dropped off all her clothes and revealed her naked body to me.She gave me a natural look and said:"Well, now we have to consume our marriage, right?"I nodded toward her and took off my clothes before directly pouncing on her, pushing her onto the bed...The sound of clapping and Shira's moans could be heard echoing in the room, but nothing else could be heard from the outside as the room was soundproof.After a few hours passed, I and Shira were staying down on the bed. Her head was on my chest as we looked at the ceiling of the dorm room.Her forehead was filled with sweat which stuck some of her blood-red hair to it.Shira's
The Ultimate Devourer Enjoying a leisure academy life (Part 2)
Soon enough, the lecture had ended, making the students in the classroom rummage over the words that the teacher had said.They even started to put new or refreshed knowledge to use, trying to comprehend and master the art of barriers.I looked at their attempts with some interest as most of them failed to create a barrier like I and Shira did in the previous classroom.However, I could see that they added more runes in their pentagrams, which could be the reason for their constant failures.From what I could see, the runes were way more complicated and denser, and the energy they required to be drawn was way higher than the normal runes that you would learn in the basic class.I could see some of them being written on the blackboard with a few descriptions below them."Automatic Defense" "Energy absorption from the surroundings" "Teleportation"Automatic Defense was a rune that would add a backlash to those who attacked the barrier, being a level higher than deflection, energy absorp

I looked at Shira's concentrated expression and I found it to be rather cute. I almost couldn't help but want to boop her nose, but I stopped myself considering she was in the middle of comprehending the double-layer barrier pentagram, and my actions would most likely make her fail and begin once again from the start. I stood near her as I meditated, musing upon the combinations and powers of barriers, along with recalling any powerful auras from the classrooms that I visited that I could recruit into my future faction. I didn't need them to be as strong as me or Shira, but I couldn't take any stray weakling by my side either. As long as they were peaked out in their energy/bodily strength departments, they would be good enough to recruit. From the expressions and tones of the teachers I interacted with, my and Shira's progress was extremely quick, meaning that we should be able to rally some people under our 'budding faction' as long we revealed ourselves properly. I scratched m
The Ultimate Devourer Recruiting 'efforts'
While Lisar was quite bored, he wasn't so out of it that he wouldn't sense my gaze.After the beating I gave him, he seemed to have upped his training if the blisters on his hands and the fact that his aura had darkened even further meant anything.He wasn't sure why I was alone, and I was looking at him, but he seemed to have learned his lesson so he didn't antagonize me, he just waved weakly as he wasn't sure what I wanted.I waved back at him with a small polite smile as I got up from my desk and approached his desk.Lisar wasn't sure what to do as he saw me approach him, so he got up from his desk and asked warily:"What do you want?"His wary gaze made me look at him with a new light, even though his previous actions could be considered foolish at best, it looked like he learned his place rather quickly.I shook my head and put my hand forward as I said:"I'm sorry about what happened before, you just pushed my buttons a little wrong, I hope you can forgive me for my 'extreme' ac
The Ultimate Devourer Simulated missions (Part 1)
The production rune was certainly quite peculiar, and the great difficulty of learning it was pretty offputting, but its ability to create life from pure energy was certainly something that could be of use to create resources and living places.Not only that, I would most likely be able to influence the creation of the planet/Heaven and make it my weapon.Having a planet as a weapon was certainly quite tempting, unfortunately, I was unable to grasp the power of the production rune yet, I was, unfortunately, lacking the full knowledge of a mastered law that was most likely needed to insert in some points of the rune to make it work.Fufflesnake was able to shine some light on my previous guesses, so I gave him a small nod which he reciprocated before he looked at his other students."Well, what do you two want to learn today?"I started to zone out as the knowledge he was going to give them wasn't necessarily useful for me anymore.I would wait here until the lesson ended so I could go

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
