The Holy Chronicles of Baator

[Trafford]

'It's unlikely that they'll mount a massive invasion, so I'll need to take precautions against elite squads and ambushes. It is highly possible that some of the smarter Gods would put two and two together, and instead of fighting head-on, they would choose subterfuge and sabotage instead.'


Leylin knew that sooner or later, this would become the best way for the Gods from the Mainland to sabotage the growth of the Holy Nāga Empire. Through sabotage and subterfuge, they would be able to achieve high results.


Naturally, if carried out correctly...


Yet that was for a later date, of course, though he was already devising plans on how to counter such an operation. He was aware that such things could be dangerous and hinder the progress of the Holy Nāga Empire by a great degree.


'Another important aspect is the agriculture. I can't ignore it until after I become a True God, with my own Divine Realm and a strong foundation. Then I can open the Crystal Sphere now, letting my True Body in along with many more Magi of laws.'


During the last war between the Magi and Gods, one of the most crucial mistakes that the Magi made was that they didn't have a foundation when they were attacking the World of Gods, or base or they didn't even target the mortals that were worshipping the Gods.


For that, the Holy Nāga Empire and his foundation in the Baator could and would become the headquarters of the Magi Invasion Force into the World of Gods and it was something on which Leylin could capitalize greatly.


Godhood was an enormous threshold to cross in the World of Gods. True gods were the darlings of the world and obtained everlasting life and immortality. Even upon death, they could revive themselves as long as worshippers still believed in them, emerging once more from the river of space and time.


Even the most formidable Gods had to pay a great price to breach a Divine Realm, granting all True Gods an extremely powerful defense and offensive capabilities because when they used their Divine Kingdom, they could tremendously boost up their combat prowess.


Yet the most significant flaw of the God Path was the dependence on the worshippers because once they started losing them, then the Gods could fall and perish easier than being killed.


'Right now, I already have my Godfire ignited, lot of Divine Force, my Divinity of this Path is already set in stone and the sole thing that is remaining is Divine Realm. The amount of worshippers and Faith that they are producing should be enough to support a few Intermediate Gods without a problem; I only right now, need only some time...'


Leylin had met all of the conditions to ascend to the True God Stage of the God Path of the World of Gods long ago, but he was waiting for the right opportunity. And that opportunity would soon enough arrive when Gu Long returned.


He planned to use the presence of the Dragon Prince as a countermeasure when someone decided to attack him during his Apotheosis Ceremony and ascendance to the True God Ranks.


The most vulnerable time was during the period when the Demigod was ascending to the True Godhood.


That was the single window of opportunity to assassinate the Demigod, and it was a common tactic that was employed by other Demigods or even Gods that didn't wish for other contenders to encroach on their Divine Domains.


Either that, or just shortly after the Apotheosis was complete, because there was also a small part where the newly ascended Gods were weakened enough for a successful assassination and Leylin knew that somebody would for sure try to kill him too.


'My domain will be in Massacres. Cyric and Malar are huge problems, yes, but I've already offended them greatly. What's the harm in enraging them further? The crucial point is still the power of Faith…'


The ascension of Gods in the World of Gods was peculiar as was the entire Path of Godhood in this world. A new member of the pantheon only needed an echo of Origin Power with a certain foundation of believers to easily ascend to become a True God.


However, these sorts of Gods would always be extremely weak. They could only be Lesser Gods, of very weak and low Divine Ranks, combat prowess almost non-existent and they needed to depend on the more powerful for their continual survival.


Without asylum from more powerful Gods, they would be killed for sure by other Gods for their Divinity, Divine Spark and practically everything other.


After all, with the slow development of this world's civilization, asking the populace to accept something new would be a bit too forceful. These sorts of Gods would need hundreds or thousands of years to develop.


The advantage was that they would not be in conflict with the other Gods, and they had rather good potential for development.


With Leylin's knowledge and experience, he had thought of several Divine Domains that the World of Gods did not currently possess, with excellent potential for development.


It was a shame that he had rejected all of them.


His reason for rejecting them was relatively simple and straightforward, as the would require too much time to cultivate and even with his current capabilities and resources, it would not be suitable.


On the contrary, it may be counterproductive to his current situation.


Becoming a God of Massacres would eliminate these limitations. This Divinity would greatly aid his combat strength and it also met his requirements for power. It could also develop rather well later, at the very least making him a Greater god.


And it was also compatible with the Law Godhood of his True Body, which was the most essential aspect of his own choosing, but there were always problems in the paradise, and it was no different with the Domain of Massacress for his Clone Body.


The catch was that there were already several Gods in the Domain of Massacres, at least a whole bunch of them. Leylin's ascension would be encumbered by the conflict with these Gods, and to advance further, he would need to collect these Domains to strengthen his own.

[Trafford]

The Divine Domains within the World of Gods were like that. Image, having one Domain being represented with the 100%, these 100% represented the complete Divine Domain.


If there was a God that took up for example, 15% of the Divine Domain, then the overall completion of the Divine Domain that was available freely in the wild would be lowered to the 85%.


Once the percentage reached 0%, then the only method for the Demigod or God to obtain the already said Divine Domain was to take it from another God. That was the reason why the Demigods and Gods hated any other being who wanted to ascend into Godhood in a peculiar Divine Domain.


It was like the system of Law Comprehension, but where in the Law Comprehension, countless beings could Comprehend a single Law entirely, within the World of Gods, one Law could be enjoyed only by a single entity.


'For that, I only need to gather more Faith and usurp the complete Domain of Massacres from the other Gods; with a few ambushes, it would be an easy thing to do... Maybe, now that I can employ more powerful methods, I can turn some of the most trusted into higher Ranks with the different power systems.'


The one that Leylin was thinking about was Isabel, who was a woman who really loved him and at the same time, she was also fanatically loyal to his cause. So, he didn't really fear that she would react badly upon hearing some of the crucial information.


Due to his long-term plans with the Holy Nāga Empire, he needed a few people to know about his true nature in advance to prepare the masses and the situation for the inevitable invasion from the Magus World.


***


Magus World, Subterranean World.


Deep within the Magus World, under the Seventh Layer of the Subterranean World. A sphere of red flames pulsed like a heart in the endless darkness, and a pair of chrome-yellow eyes appeared.


"We meet again, Lord Leylin. Your speed of advancement really puts me to shame."


Leylin heard the voice of Mother Core, one of the oldest and most powerful Magi within the Magus World that remained till this day.


"Mighty Mother Core, before one such as you, a near-immortal being, I'm wholly insignificant…"


Although he was now a Rank 7 Warlock, near the peak of the Magus World in power, Leylin still appeared humble before the person in front of him. Now that he had reached Rank 7, even with his Law Godhood, he was not a match for her.


Her existence greatly surpassed Leylin's, and even the A.I. Chip couldn't probe her or to use his own senses to sense her power. She was a mighty existence, one who'd refined her Laws to forge her own Path!


Although this form was different from the one she'd shown before, the power of a being that had comprehended Laws still lay before him, took a glimpse at her own Path, and was near Rank 9, the long-lasting wish of all Magi.


On the contrary, with his newfound power, Leylin was able to feel her strength even more clearly, and he could tell that her raw power would probably be even much higher than many peak Rank 8 Magi.


'With everything that is radiating from her, he strength would be considered a top-notch expert even within the hegemon like the Chthonian Empire.'


Leylin thought as he observed Mother Core for a bit before he returned to reality.


"Lord Leylin is truly far too humble. After all, your Majesty's Law of Devouring is an exceptional power, its battle might and regenerative abilities absolutely incomparable. It is equivalent to the sum of several weaker paths of Laws… not to mention, your raw power is still leaking from your body a bit... and..."


Mother Core squinted her eyes a bit as she scrutinized Leylin a bit, while two invisible auras clashed in the air, and her eyes shined a bit as Ignox, who was standing next to Mother Core, trembled from the might that two of them were releasing.


Even though Leylin's aura was evidently much weaker, just the fact that he was able to resist for some time someone as powerful as Mother Core only supplemented the idea that he was far more powerful than he was showing on the outside.


"I assume you've come here to ask to absorb the World Origin Force?"


She asked Leylin as the auras completely dispersed into nothingness and everything returned to normal, like nothing happened in the first place.


"That's right. I want to use the power I've accumulated to comprehend laws and absorb World Origin Force."


Leylin said gravely.


The Magus World and the World of Gods were two extremely powerful worlds that had a massive source of origin force. This Origin Force provided untold benefits to those who grasped the Laws.


The World Will of the Magus World lay dormant at its core, allowing the lowest level of the Subterranean World to possess a share of power.


This place even emitted the essence of World Origin Force.


The opportunity to absorb the Magus World's Origin Force was a great one, and it only came every hundred years for those who had comprehended Laws.


Leylin heard from the members of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden that such fundamental forces were of tremendous power and if one continued to absorb them continuously, then he would obtain tremendous power.


For example, within the Kadath Universe, which was ruled by the Father of All Devils, only a selected few were allowed to absorb the Source Origin Force, which was the fundamental aspect of the Universe.


And if someone was allowed such honor, then he could skyrocket from initial Tier 9 to peak Tier 10 in a few seasons.


Though naturally, the rulers of the mighty worlds that were producing the Origin Force significant enough were not really keen on allowing other people to absorb it and use it in their "cultivation".


"You've long since signed the contract and are a native of the Magus World. Of course, you have permission!"


Mother Core looked at Leylin for some time before she emitted a soul conscient, and a large gate swung open to expose a surging sea of Origin Force.


"Many thanks, my Lady, my Lord!"


Leylin bowed slightly and entered the gate…


Once he left and the black door closed, the atmosphere turned silent once more.

[Trafford]

"Mother Core, I feel that you are too lenient towards him. Even if he advanced to Rank 7, you needn't go out of your way for him."


Ignox spoke his doubts because he didn't think that Leylin, as someone who had just advanced to Rank 7, should have such high preferential treatment, not to mention there was also a certain degree of jealousy over his achievements.


Only he knew what a terrifying existence a peak Rank 8 Beings of Law like Mother Core was.


Even in ancient times, she'd been an overlord amongst the Magi, not to mention she was one of the few Rank 8 Beings of Law on their side, who managed to survive the Final War against the World of Gods.


Mother Core had survived the Final War against the World of Gods. She was much stronger than the Nightmare King or Distorted Shadow, who were already considered as peak Rank 8 Magi with peerless power and were legends of the legends.


Someone with her vaunted existence did not need to pay much heed to a new Rank 7 Warlock. Yet, for some reason, she was and it was something that was making many Magi very curious about his existence.


"You have sensed his aura, did you?"


Mother Core turned to Ignox, who almost shrunk down in his place, not daring to meet her gaze, as he remembered the power that the newly advanced Rank 7 Warlock showcased...


Even though he didn't want to admit it, Ignox knew that one hit from Leylin would obliterate his existence and, second, would destroy or devour his very own soul.


And that was just right after the advancement.


"And aside from his personal power... I spoke with the Wisdom Tree not long ago, in the river of time and space…"


After seeing the Ignox shivering under her gaze, Mother Core continued, not really caring about the servant that much. She knew that Leylin Farlier was someone who had terrifying power dwelling inside him and could be a strong ally.


"Wisdom Tree? The existence which had enlightened many Ancient Magi?"


Ignox could not ignore the famed vision of the Wisdom Tree.


"Didn't it disappear into legend a long time ago?"


According to the legends, the Wisdom Tree disappeared not long after the end of the Final War between the Magus World and the World of Gods.


Nobody knew where it went or what happened to it, but many started considering the Wisdom Tree as either dead or as something that never existed in the first place... as mere myth and legend.


"It gave up on eternal life, walking a different path…"


Mother Core did not elaborate, but the few words she said painted the image of a terrifying existence. The Wisdom Tree, since then, has reached power that was far more eclipsing that of her own; she sensed that it was probably even above the mythical Rank 9 Being of Law.


"It gave me a prophecy. The Final War is coming for us once more and after that, an inevitable change will take in the Universe that will forever reshape its past, present and future..."


Mother Core spoke gravely; she herself was, in the end, a really small player in the great scheme of all things to know the true and real meaning behind the words that were spoken and passed to her.


"What?!" Even Ignox, a rank 7 Magus who was near indestructible with hundreds of thousands of years of existence, was surprised by this alarming news.


The Final War had already pushed the World Wills of the two strongest worlds in the Astral Plane into a deep slumber. Many powerful existences had perished, and it had ended the golden era of the ancient Magi.


That war was about to repeat and probably even on a larger scale and with graver consequences?


"But this…But…"


However, he couldn't doubt the Wisdom Tree and Mother Core. The dark mist around Ignox rolled around in the air; he had been truly shocked to the depths of his soul.


"The Final War will demolish all Laws and obliterate a world…"


The meaning of Mother Core's words were obscure, yet there was an underlying tinge of excitement.


"In ancient times, the war between the Magi and the Gods could not be avoided. Only the victor would discover the path to eternity… However, both parties suffered heavy casualties at the end. As for the upcoming war, it will be even more harsh and brutal than before. Many elites lost in the last one will surface once again, returning to the limelight!"


Ignox didn't know what to say anymore. He could only continue to listen. Once he heard everything and understood it, he realized that the war erupting once more was very likely.


Ignox was merely a Rank 7 Magus; while he was certainly powerful compared to the other Magi, only those who reached the Rank 8 could be considered elites and had some voice in the Magus community.


The resurrection of a large group of peak Rank 8 Beings of Law was a scary thought because it would change the entire political structure of the Magus World with the influx of countless Rank 8 Magi, from which many would be at the peak of Rank 8.


After all, the resurrection would not only happen in the Magus world.


The World of Gods, too, would traverse planes to the River of Space and Time, once again reclaiming their Divine Seats!


In such a brutal battle and such chaotic times, even the Rank 7 Magi could perish and be killed for all eternity.


Permanent death was scary, though, for those who had already gotten used to eternal life.


In truth, in this case, Ignox wasn't the only one who would think this because for countless other Rank 7 and even probably some Rank 8 Magi who had already gotten up on the dreams of advancement, such news would be a literal nightmare.


"What does this have to do with Leylin?"


Ignox asked with a hoarse voice.


"We need to treat anyone rising up just before the Final War with great importance and someone as powerful as him... would be extremely frightening opponent on the battlefield, he would be one of the pioneers in the Final War."


Mother Core's voice was still as steady as before.

[Trafford]

"And it is not just him... I've sent my other clones into other worlds like Purgatory and the Icy World, looking for powerful Magi with the strength to lead us into war!"


Mother Core said with authority that this was all part of her plans. Through her clones, she has been searching for the talents that would lead the forces of the Magus World to victory against the World of Gods.


As someone who has lived through the Final War, she knew that the Magi made a lot of mistakes, a mistake that cost them, technically speaking, losing the war, falling, many killed or imprisoned, and many other dire consequences.


This time, it couldn't happen again.


This time, they needed to win the war.


"We're making preparations for the second war? I understand!"


Ignox nodded his head vigorously, wanting to return and start his preparations.


He wasn't a coward, but the war was just too terrifying, and in the end, he would have preferred if such a thing had never really happened. Beings of Law were, technically speaking, ageless beings that would live for eternity and they had all the time they needed to advance to the next Rank.


In the end, Ignox, like many other Magi, grew to contend with the current situation as it wasn't that bad in the first place. Something so dangerous, like the Final War between the World of Gods and Magus World, would, once again, bring an unprecedented number of killed Rank 7 and Rank 8 Magi.


A Rank 7 was mere collateral damage in a battle between peak Rank 8s, and he was now in danger of death. He wouldn't even know how he'd died if he participated in such a ranking battle between such powerhouses.


Yet, at the same time, it was also a place of opportunity because the Magi could absorb God's comprehension of Laws and grow stronger quickly. In such a way, there was even a possibility of Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus reaching the peak Rank 8 if he was lucky enough.


That was also the reason why the Final War erupted for the first time.


Greed for more and more power.


***


Misty green origin force surged in a boundless sea, containing absolute strength as it swelled and roared. This energy represented the Magus World itself, the power of its Origin.


In front of these waves that were emitted by the Magus World itself, Leylin, with his meager power, seemed like a mere ant.


In front of the powerful Origin Force, everyone seemed little, as they were standing against the very own essence of the Magus World itself.


As a powerful Being of Law, a Law God, Leylin had already assimilated this aura into his Soul once he advanced to Rank 7 and achieved the Law Godhood. The Origin Force didn't reject him, instead enveloping him gently and replenishing his powers.


"Almighty and pure, as expected of the Magus World. Only the origin force of the World of Gods could be of similar quality…"


With his time spent within the World of Gods and abilities to analyze things, he was able to identify the differences very quickly.


'It's not entirely impossible to reach peak Rank 8 or even Rank 9 if I could fully master this origin force…'


Leylin's eyes held a trace of longing, but it was only a dream for now.


Through his acute senses, he felt that this roaring sea of origin force had an extremely powerful conscient sleeping within, with numerous broken Laws seeping out.


One could absorb some of the Origin Force, but if they wanted to monopolize it they would only be courting death. Even existences such as Mother Core were not able to do as they wished.


'Still, the only way to reach that Rank would be as Father of All Devils told, but that method is too restraining and I would never be able to leave the Magus World unless the Magus World is directly connected to another World during the World Assimilation Process.'


Leylin heard about certain methods that one could achieve even Rank 9 from the Zeoticus Lucifer, the Father of All Devils, through the assimilation of the Origin Force. While he had to admit that the shortcut was certainly tempting, it was not really something worth it.


He knew that with the special method, he could achieve Rank 9 through assimilation of the Origin Force into his body, refining his control over the Laws and comprehending the new Laws, obtaining his Path and even ascending to the Rank 9.


Not only would he become Rank 9 Law God, but he would also become a very powerful Rank 9 Law God at that.


Yet, there was balance in everything.


The price was steep, and anyone who used this method would become something equal to the Regent Guardian of the Magus World's Will. He wouldn't be able to leave the Magus World at all, and he also wouldn't be able to intervene in anything that was taking place within the Magus World.


Aside from that, he would be required to stay within this place for all eternity and guard the Magus World's Will all the time.


He would also be required to regularly clean up the Magus World from any potential dangers to the World and kill any Magi or lifeforms that were causing damage to the Magus World; this went without exception.


And there was also the responsibility of guarding the Magus World against the invaders that would potentially want to invade the Magus World.


So, long short story, it was not worth it for someone like Leylin, who had far grander plans than to be reduced to the position of glorified guardian. While with that method, one could obtain tremendous power, but also, at an equally tremendous cost.


'Even with Baator's Origin Force I can only wield the power my authority gives me. Ultimately, it isn't mine and can be taken away at any time.'


Leylin sighed, but for now, he knew that it was impossible to have such a world at his command. He saw that in the Kadath Universe, there existed a sort of people that were collectively termed as World Lords.


Each of them had ultimate control over some World and were able to absorb as much Origin Force as they wanted; thus, they were able to achieve frightening levels of power.


[Beep! Host is absorbing the Magus World's Origin Force, statistics rising…]


Leylin smiled after looking at the indicator on the A.I. Chip.

[Trafford]

Leylin relinquished control of his body, absorbing a large amount of Origin Force; he noticed that the Magus World's Will was rather generous to him, allowing him to absorb a far larger amount of the Origin Force than he initially anticipated.


That was because he introduced a new Path to the Magus World, or rather two Paths; one of them was the Godhood Method, and another was the Law Godhood. This caused the Magus World's Will itself to analyze them and increase its own strength.


Leylin's introduction of the new things to the Magus World made the Magus World stronger, so the World's Will was basically rewarding him for his hard work.


After converting it using the Law Godhood of Devour, he turned this strength into his own.


His mind and soul were focused on comprehending the Law Godhood that he had and planting the seeds of the ones that he would in the future obtain.


The exposure to the Laws of the world was a good thing for Leylin. With his ascending to the Law Godhood, his understanding of the Laws was elevated to a terrifying degree because he obtained great comprehension capabilities.


The World of Gods was simply a paradise for a Magus who wielded laws, the power of worship aiding their understanding of the world. As long as their worshippers continued to pray, Magus would continue to grow in their understanding of their Domains.


It would aid them in their comprehension of Laws, but at the same time, it would also corrupt them with the concept of Faith and the image that his worshippers had in their minds of the worshipped being.


[Beep! Time has ended!]


Leylin recollected his senses with the A.I. Chip's voice. Just as the voice sounded, the large doors appeared once again; as he crossed over the doors, he disappeared back to where he came from and then returned back to the Dalaran.


***


Floating City Dalaran, Headquarters of Kirin Tor.


'A.I. Chip, display stats.'


Leylin commanded inwardly.


[Leylin Farlier


Divine Name: Nāgarāja, the Heavenly Serpent God of Devouring, Bloodlines and Serpents


Race: Law God (Nāga Bloodline - Rank 7)


Rank: Rank 7 - Law God (Rank 7 Magus / Lesser God)


Law Godhood: Devouring (100%), Slaughter (60%), Bloodlines (3%), Serpents (4%)


Godhood Index: 1,459


Strength: 34


Agility: 30


Vitality: 34


Spiritual Force: 40


Origin Force Saturation Level: 80%


State of the Soul: Law Godhood Soul


Innate Talent: Nāga Supremacy, Nightmare Absorption


Law Godhood Abilities: All Devour]


'Mm, it looks like I can absorb it again. I'm not fully saturated with World Origin Force,'


Leylin had a satisfied look on his face at the increase of stats; with just a bit of the Magus World's Origin Force, he managed to increase his physical parameters tremendously because every single point in stands was a huge growth in strength.


Compared to those Magi of Laws, who mostly needed thousands upon thousands of years to advance, his speed was indeed frightening to everyone around him.


'With my current strength, I should be far stronger than countless Lesser Gods within the World of Gods and Rank 7 Magi of Laws; once I go all out with the All Devour and Nāga Supremacy, I can threaten pseudo-Rank 8 beings...'


Leylin thought as he made calculations over his power because right now, he had a lot of things that he needed to attend to personally.


He needed to ensure that his Lineage was developing properly, though he seriously doubted that anyone would be able to step on the Law Godhood Path as he was...


Still, he would be greatly satisfied if they managed to reach Rank 7 with the Law Path as they were, even though that would be a good achievement and would tremendously increase the power of the Ouroboros Clan and Kirin Tor.


Now that he had reached the Rank 7 Law Godhood, it was time to use the Law Crystals that he got from the Father of All Devils on the people with no future that couldn't progress or reach the Rank 7 under any circumstances.


Next would be a trip to Dreamscape.


The Nightmare Absorbing Physique was a mystery, and the quality of Dreamforce was changing. However, he had to find answers as to why the power of Dreamforce fluctuated, so, after all, it was of utmost importance to his growth.


Leylin was using the Dreamforce as the binding element between the two Path; it was the thing that helped merge the Law Path and Godhood Path perfectly into one sole entity without any flaws.


So, for him to reach the higher Ranks, especially the Rank 10 in the far future, he needed to obtain the source of the Dreamforce and fully incorporate it into his Law Godhood so that the Dreamforce would become part of the Law Godhood.


This was also connected with the final requirement for the peak Rank 8 Magus to reach Rank 9, the Path needed to accommodate the Spacetime.


Something that wasn't really needed at the Law Path of the Kadath Universe, but that was due to the differences between the Universes and the Paths themselves.


For the proper accommodation of Spacetime, one needed to have a good foundation that could endure that power, and choosing the wrong type of force would prove fatal to him.


This stringent condition had stumped countless ancient Magi.


Leylin, too, had suspected that Mother Core was in this position; hence, she could not advance another step. He'd never heard of someone being able to change their Path after starting on it.


'Dreamforce is currently in a weak phase...and the dangers are minimal. Right now is the most appropriate time to explore it a bit and find the Dreamforce Source. Then I only need to wait for Gu Long to return and we can start the final parts of the plan. Starting with meeting Snake Dowager and fulfilling the contract.'


Although the Snake Dowager had sent Leylin a message when he advanced to Rank 7, Leylin had no intentions of carrying out his obligation immediately.


Not to mention, he was waiting for the appropriate time to increase his power and only afterward he would fulfill the contract.


Even though the Snake Dowager had canceled all their previous enmities by laughing it off, Leylin didn't trust the Mother of All Snakes even a bit. That would be certainly a foolish notion to do so...

[Trafford]

Leylin then returned to the core of the Ouroboros Clan, the inner city of the Kirin Tor on the Floating City Dalaran. This Inner City was reserved only for the high-ranking members of the Ouroboros Clan, Kirin Tor and the Farlier Family.


Nobody else really had free access to the Inner City of the Dalaran.


"Father!"


A group of Warlocks was waiting for him there, led by two handsome young men who resembled Leylin closely and three young women who, on the other hand, greatly resembled their mothers.


Of course, Leylin looked young himself, but his eyes revealed his extensive experience and maturity. The Magi that reached Rank 7 could basically have their own appearance as they wished; that was the reason why some looked like old fossils while others looked like young children.


Standing side by side, the three looked like brothers and not father and children.


Each of these children inherited something else from his and his aspects of power, yet all of them bore the most powerful variants of the Nāga Bloodline and he knew that with their talent, reaching Being of Law would require only some effort and time.


His eldest son, Leto Farlier, was born to his first wife Freya, had inherited a strong affinity for the Law of Devour in addition to the Dreamforce affinity. He was also gifted with a more powerful combat instinct than the rest of his siblings and was practically a genius at whatever required combat or killing.


He looked very similar to Leylin, just with the exception that his hair was much shorter than that of Leylin's and he had a stern expression written over his face and posture like a military commander.


That was also because he was in charge of Dalaran's Military as he was peak Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus, who was only one step away from comprehending the Laws and he would soon cross the Law Baptism Stage.


On top of that, he also walked on the Path of Law Godhood because he chose the hardest Path available to him. Yet his talent only supplemented the idea, so maybe it wasn't a wrong choice.


In fact, his other children were also trying their luck with the Path of Law Godhood because of the power it would give them. Not to mention, they were all born after Leylin ascended to the Law Godhood, so they had some basic predestination for that Path.


His other son, Syre Farlier, was born to his second wife, Aegnis Farlier, formerly Stuard from the Purgatory Word.


Leylin had four wives within the Magus World, namely Freya and then the three snake ladies that he brought from the Purgatory World, Aegnis, Belinda and Sophia.


With his fledgling Law Godhood of Serpents and his Nāga Bloodline, he was able to tremendously icnreae their power and Bloodline strength.


Contrary to Leto, Syre inherited the affinity for the Magic itself and various types, and he also inherited the part of his Law Godhood related to the Serpents and Bloodlines.


Which wasn't that surprising, considering the fact that his mother Aegnis has evolved into Heaven-Swallowing Python. Similarly to his elder brother, Syre also reached the peak of the Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus and was now silently eyeing the breakthrough to the Rank 7 Law Godhood.


After his sons, he had three daughters who were, in fact, his joy as he quite enjoyed spoiling them. Even when they were little, they were always so cute and obedient, contrary to Leto and Syre, who were rather mischievous and causing problems here and there.


Maybe that was even the reason why none of his daughters were married yet, but when he thought it over, that was only good because there was nobody who could match them in status, strength, power, talent and backround.


His eldest daughter, whom he had with Freya, was named Irulan Farlier, and she was, in fact, the embodiment of nobility, majestiness and royalty as much as it could be. She had long blonde hair and an almost ethereal-like appearance.


Yet behind that mask, a cunning and scheming woman was lying; similarly to her brothers and sisters, she too reached the peak Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus, but she was more inclined to the scheming and ruling over people.


Within the Kirin Tor, she was already one of the highest-ranked administrative officers and was in charge of the major operations and even had a seat on the Council of Six. That was because her talent in his area was absolutely undeniable.


Karlianna Farlier was his daughter, with Belinda, with pure white hair and crimson-red tips of her hair. She was the one who inherited the strongest affinity for the Slaughter; her ability in this area eclipsed even that of Leto, and the more she killed, the stronger she became.


In Leylin's eyes, it was only a matter of time until she reached the status of the Law God in the Law Godhood of Slaughter. Her combat prowess would be really high once she reached her full potential.


And then, there was his youngest daughter, Jaina Farlier, who was only recently born to his fourth wife, Sophia. She had crystal blue, yes, and was now only half a year old. She was sleeping in the hands of her mother.


As the Progenitor of his own Bloodline, Leylin made a judgment the moment he saw his children and their Bloodline as clearly as it could get.


'I need to adjust their Bloodlines…'


Other Warlocks inherited negative side effects from their Bloodline, such as Bloodline shackles and emotional instability.


However, Leylin's Nāga family did not face this problem.


As the Progenitor of the Bloodline and with the help of the A.I. Chip, Leylin could fix its flaws.


Such an ability ensured that few of his descendants experienced paranoia and madness, causing the Nāga to be highly regarded by others. Now that Leylin's own bloodline had been purified once more, his descendants stood a greater chance of improving themselves.


Not only that, but because he was the Progenitor of the Nāga Bloodline, he held complete dominion over the Nāga Bloodline itself.

'The flow of time in the Magus World is different from that in the World of Gods…'


Leylin thought as he observed his family members and the clansmen of the Ouroboros Clan; it was a rather big and glorious banquet when the Bloodline Monarch decided to showcase himself after he reached the fabled Rank 7 Magus of Law.


Practically, everyone who mattered something within the Magus World's surface Layer and the 1st Layer of the Subterranean World was invited to the Banquet.


Leylin observed these people with either curiosity or amusement; for him, it was certainly amusing how they all tried to curry his favor or favors with his wives or even some of his children to obtain something.


Back when he hadn't entirely stepped into Rank 7 yet, these people had all been like ants before him.


Now, it was even more so; his children being able to beat up all the Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi on the continent, Leylin had lost all interest in proving his might. In front of the elite Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi that were cultivated by the Farlier Family, the rest of the so-called Monarchs were nothing.


Since the Kingdom of Dalaran was established and Kirin Tor as an organization rose to power, the Rank 5 Radiant Moon Magi and Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi started becoming more and more common.


This was mainly Leylin's efforts because he created something that was lacking since the fall of the ancient Byron Empire that ruled the entirety of the Magus World and countless other Worlds.


It was a nation that had produced countless upon countless Rank 5 Radiant Moon Magi and Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi and hundreds of Rank 7 Law Magi, including a good number of Rank 8 Law Magi.


But since the fall and dissolution of the ancient Byron Empire during the Final War between the World of Gods and the Magus World, there was no systematic education and cultivation of the Magi within the Magus World.


That was something that, in turn, increased tremendously the number of Rank 4 Mornign Star Magi and upwards. Nowadays, the Rank 4 Morning Star Magi that were once being considered as hegemons of some area were not, because they were relatively common.


At least, not everywhere within the Magus World, but on the territory of the Dalaran or other regions that were under the control of the Kirin Tor, they were common as clouds. Even in the entire Magus World, the Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magi were called Monarchs less and less, due to the fact how common they were becoming.


Especially Warlocks, who bore the Bloodlines of the Ouroboros Clan. To be considered an expert within the Ouroboros Clan nowadays, one needs to have the strength of at least rank 5 Radiant Moon Magus.


Otherwise, one would be regarded just as a bit stronger, Magus, but since the Clan had given birth to someone as the Bloodline Monarch, the Clan's strength was increasing at a tremendous pace, and with Leylin's next plan, it would explode.


This overall situation was strengthening the Kirin Tor and the Ouroboros Clan to a tremendous degree, to the point where even right now, they were planning on launching several Planar Wars for the resources.


After the feast had ended, Leylin called several people to the private meeting of the higher-ups of the Ouroboros Clan because it was time to take the next step in the development of the Clan and its power.


He learned from the readings of factions within the Endless Void that having a powerful faction was a tremendous boost, even for the strongest and most powerful experts, because it greatly increased one's resource-gathering capabilities.


Now, it was time to use the Law Crystals that he got as payment from the Father of All Devils some time ago. With this, he would be able to create several Rank 7 Beings of Law instantly, the Law Magi out of the people with whom he had utmost trust.


Naturally, he planned to offer this kind of thing to his wives because they had the strongest bond with them. While there were other candidates for such a thing, they were not suitable because he needed to concentrate most of the power in the Farlier Family.


In his Family.


To create the most powerful Bloodline Family that ever existed within the Magus World.


He knew that for his wives they were not talented enough to reach the Rank 7 Law Magus on their own, or if they reached it on their own, it would end there and their future prospects would be pretty low.


The Law Crystals were rather peculiar things.


Once somebody used them, they would be constrained to the Law that was creating the fundamental essence of the Law Crystal, and one could say that their path was set in stone and it would be nigh impossible to change it.


He had several of the Law Crystals in his disposition, but he decided that he would give the Law Crystals only to his wives. They were the most suitable candidates among the entire Ouroboros Clan, as other people were not even considered.


Leylin was aware of their limits, and he knew that as long as the Ouroboros Clan produced several more Rank 7 Law Magi, they would be able to grow tremendously in strength in a short span of time.


All four of his wives reached the peak of the Rank 6 Breaking Daw Magus and were fairly powerful on their own, but it was clear that they had probably reached their limits.


It would require something more than just hard work to comprehend Law and ascend to the Rank 7 Law Magus, but it seemed that it was not destined for them.


So, unless, they had some fortious encounter, they would be forever stuck at the peak Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus. So, Leylin decided to give his wives the Law Crystals so they would be able to reach the Rank 7 Law Magus and be part of the next phase of the plan.


While this method would greatly limit them in their future advancement, Leylin depended on the fact that once he was strong enough, he would be able to obtain enough resources for them to reach higher Ranks on the Magus Path.

[Trafford]

Leylin at his four wives, Freya, Anges, Belinda and Sophia that were sitting around the around table, together with his children Syre, Leto, Irulan and Karlianna, as only they were invited for the inner circle discussion.


Naturally, they were his closest blood kin, which Leylin didn't really think that he would find a rather weird and obscure feeling of solace and relaxation in a time spent with his family.


It felt really weird because the last time he remembered something like that was in his first life of Fang Ming...


"Now, I called you here to discuss something that is considered the utmost secret of our family and, at the same time, would decide our future for the coming years."


Leylin said gravely, as he was the Patriarch of the Farlier Family, who was responsible for the family and decision-making. Not only of the Farlier Family but also the entire Ouroboros Clan, even though the Kirin Tor and Dalaran were being managed by his children.


"These things here..."


He then summoned four Law Crystals, each of them containing the Law that was most compatible with each of his wives. Freya and Agnes already started comprehending Law, but their progress was abysmally slow.


Belinda was in a relatively unique position because she had a very special Bloodline of the Alabaster Devilsnake that had a very powerful affinity for the Dreamforce and Nightmares, so Leylin chose the Law for her that was most fulfilled various criteria.


"They are called Law Crystals... after you break the Crystal, you would be able to assimilate the content that is inside, or rather, it would be most prudent to say you would able to assimilate the entire Crystal itself because the Crystal is in fact, a crystalized form of Law itself."


He introduced the shining crystals, as everyone was astonished to hear that something like that existed because for the normal residents of the Magus World, the Rank 7 Beings of Law was the top of the pyramid.


And there were no things recorded within the history of the Magus World that could make someone Being of Law; this wasn't the World of Gods, where one assimilated the Divine Spark, bum bam and he was a God.


"What are the side effects?"


Freya, as a natural Magus and Warlock, looked at the Law Crystal with a great deal of suspicion because something that was able to create Being of Law out of nowhere wasn't without a corresponding price.


"Yes, there are... the first side effect is that, once someone uses the Law Crystal, he would be constrained to the Law that the Law Crystal contained. Another side effect is that it would be a bit harder to progress through natural comprehension of Laws, but within the endless dimensions and realities, there are many things that could substitute for the loss of natural comprehension of Law."


When the others heard about it, especially his wives; they thought that the price for it wasn't that bad. Belinda and Sophia knew that they were very lucky to reach their current ranks as they were and for them to reach the Being of Law, the Rank 7 Law Magus was something without their reach.


Meanwhile, Freya and Agnes were contemplating the situation, as they both wanted to use their own efforts to reach the Rank 7 Law Magus, but at the same time, due to their station, they were aware of many secrets.


And some of those secrets were the ones about the Final War between the World of God and the Magus World.


They knew that sooner or later, very chaotic times were coming for the Magus World and even someone with their strength, who was at the peak Rank 6 Breaking Dawn Magus, would be reduced to the stronger cannon fodder during the war.


At the same time, they wanted to help their husband right now, as they knew that if they all reached the Rank 7 Law Magus, they would be a tremendous boon to the Ouroboros Clan and the entirety of the Kirin Tor.


It would transform them into a really terrifying organization that could then target even more powerful Planes that had some Law Magi hiding or ruling them. Right now, as they were leading the Planar Conquests, Kirin Tor could target mainly the Planes taht had beings under the Rank 7 Beings of Law.


But such planes didn't really have the resources that he or some of his immediate family members needed. For that, they would need to find and conquer way more powerful planes, the planes that gave birth to the Beings of Law.


And while Leylin was fairly powerful, in the end, he was only one man and he couldn't be everywhere. For this reason alone, it was way better to have some powerful subordinates and underlings who would do the job for him.


In Leylin's case, it was his family, because at least, in this regard, he had formed a rudimentary level of trust towards his wives, even though he had tremendous paranoia and was not really able to trust even his own shadow.


"So, what do you think?"


He then gauged their reactions to the Law Crystals, as he noticed that Sophia and Belinda were already hugging their respective Law Crystals with their tails protectively, as they were the most precious treasures.


"While I would want to try on my own, it seems that the Fate is against..."


Freya sighed in disappointment, with Agnes sharing the sentiment.


Both of them were powerful and prideful Magi and wanted to try their own luck at reaching the Rank 7 Being of Law, but it seemed that Fate had different plans for them in this regard.


"Some things cannot be changed no matter how much we want... and both of you know, that your chances at reaching the Rank 7 Being of Law are pretty uncertain in all regards, so taking the Law Crystal is the safest and fastest method."


Leylin knew that both Agnes and Freya had a relatively low chance of becoming the Beings of Law on their own.

[Trafford]

And this situation was very well known to both Agnes and Frey.


They were both aware of their limits and talents, as they were aware of the fact that their chances of reaching the Rank 7 Being of Law were relatively low, and there was not much that they could do about it.


Yes, they could try their luck, which was statically pretty low, or they could wait and search for some opportunity or encounter that would allow them to reach the Rank 7 Law Magus, but again, the chances for that were low.


So ascending to the Being of Law and becoming the Rank 7 Law Magus through the usage of the Law Crystals wasn't actually that bad. Even the side effects were not really that severe and restraining, as much as all of them could tell.


"I think that this would be the best course of action considering all possible alternatives and variants, not to mention that we would be able to contribute to the Family and Clan much more after reaching Rank 7."


Agnes stated after some time of consideration, and in the end, even Freya agreed with the sentiment and decided to use this method of reaching the Rank 7 Law Magus.


"Splendid... only thing, for now, is that you won't be able to make the breakthrough to the Rank 7 in the Magus World because that would attract the unwanted attention of some beings that we are not really ready to confront."


If the Ouroboros Clan, or more precisely the Farlier Family, appeared with four more Beings of Law, it would probably attract attention even from the Peak Rank 8 Law Magi, something that Leylion wanted to avoid for as long as possible.


"And where should we go then?"


It was imperative that they would make their breakthrough in some other place aside from the Magus World, and Leylin was already pondering where would be the best place for them to make the breakthroughs to the Rank 7 Law Magus.


"I will find some Planes that are capable of holding Rank 7 Beings of Law, and only there could you make your breakthrough... that way, it won't be sensed by peak entities of the Magus World that could have severe consequences."


Leylin already had some planes prepared that he managed to find through the Astral Gate and from the information obtained through trade from other Beings of Law of the Magus World.


Several of these Planes were ones that had given birth to the Rank 7 Being of Law in the past, and some, even right now, had some Beings of Law presiding over the world. Though not much, but there were still some.


While the other planes were the ones that had at least Half-Step Rank 7 Beings of Law, those being that underwent the Law Baptism and had attained very high comprehension of the Laws in some Law.


They were only one step away from comprehending the Law and ascending to another level of existence.


Leylin planned to send his wives to the planes that were devoid of the geniue Rank 7 Beings of Law, but still, the planes were strong enough to have at least one or two Half-Step Rank 7 BAeings of Law.


This way, once they ascended to the Law Magus, they would be effortlessly able to take over the Plane and establish their rule there.


Afterward, they would keep that Plane secret as much as possible while using it as a means to obtain more and more resources for the Farlier Family, which would get stronger once they had several such powerful planes under their rule.


"And afterward? How long would we keep this hiding state?"


Agnes asked, not really keen on hiding like some rat because it went against her fundamental principles.


She was always someone with great pride as a warrior, so for her, this behavior was something cowardly, even though, from the strategic point of view, she could see the reason and logic behind it.


Agnes wasn't a geniue Magus in thinking, she was more or like a warrior like she was within the Purgatory World, but after common to the Magus World, she adjusted a bit. She learned that to fight against the Magi and win, one needed to think like a Magus.


Magi were slippery creatures that were full of deception and tricks; the normal straightforward approach didn't really apply to them because they were too many times too smart for that.


"At least to the moment when I reach later stages of the Rank 8 Law God, only then I would have enough power to resist against more than one peak Rank 8 Magi if they ever decided to gang up on me... you need to understand that something like the Law Crystals is very rare in the Astral Plane and a problem even in the rest of the Universe."


Leylin knew that something like the Law Crystal was a peerless treasure to the people who sought comprehension of Laws. Within the entire Astral Plane, one would never find something like the Law Crystal.


Probably only then the Law Crystals would appear if someone managed to destroy an entire higher Plane, the Plane at least on the level of the Purgatory World or Shadow World. Then, one could find the Law Crystals from the fragmented World Core.


But even then, such Law Crystals would be imperfect and full of impurities and other problems because normal Law Crystals are created only through two orthodox ways.


The first one was the method where the Universe Will itself would create the Law Crystals in specific places, or the second was when the powerful Being of Law was about to fall and he would condense all of his Laws into the Law Crystals upon his death.


"If we are not ready and we start showing many Beings of Law, it will raise questions about how it was achieved. Once they find out about the existence of something like the Law Crystals, we will be for sure annihilated by the greed even of peak Rank 8 Magi."


Leylin knew that the existence of the Law Crystals was too dangerous for the small players of the game like him and the Farlier Family, so the only logical choice was to keep everything hidden.


Only when they are strong enough to bear the consequences would he be able to reveal the true might of the Farlier Family.

[Trafford]

Everyone present at the meeting knew that it was imperative to keep the true power of the Ouroboros Clan, more precisely, the Farlier Family, hidden as long as possible.


Only when Leylin had enough power to fight against the strongest Magi of the Magus World, would it be possible.


And then, he would have enough power to spread his rule and authority to the majority of the Magus World, but that was for the date. He also looked at his children, as all of them had the potential to reach the Law Godhood as him.


They inherited the predisposition for the Path of the Law Godhood. He didn't know how many of them would actually embark on the Path of the Law Godhood and succeed in the Apotheosis to the Law God, but it would be good if at least half of them.


Each Law God could fight at least several Magi of Laws or Gods of the same rank due to the superiorities of their own Path.


He had great expectations from his children; Syre, Leto, Karlianna and Irulan had already reached the mortal limit.


Now, it was time for them to make the last step, but he knew that it would also depend heavily on luck and opportunity. Contrary to his wives, who would basically make breakthroughs in the utmost secret, his children could make them openly.


Because everyone knew about the geniuses of the Farlier Family.


"Leto, Syre, how far are you from attaining the breakthrough?"


Leylin asked as he looked at his two sons, who were also his eldest children. To the question, his two sons looked at each other before Leto answered, talking as the first as he was the oldest one.


"I need a source of Devouring to stabilize my Law and Godhood and condense the seed of Law Godhood of Devour and Dream."


Leto walked on a very similar to his father because of his innate affinities for Devour and Dreams, the Dreams that he inherited through his father's control over the Dreamforce.


"I, on the other hand, need something related to the concept of Magic, strong enough, on which I could build the Divine Domain of Magic."


Syre Farlier, born to Leylin and his second wife, Agnes, was born as Heaven-Swallowing Python with the innate Law of Devouring, but at the same time, it wasn't his prominent Law, and it was more like innate racial ability.


Syre's true potential lay in his affinity for Magic in general; due to that, he embarked on the path of Law Godhood of Arcane and Magic, which was a very hard, challenging, complex and obscure thing.


Even Leylin was at first baffled when he thought about it, but at the same time, he could see its power and versatility, and once Syre ascended to the Law Godhood and obtained Law Godhood of Arcane and Magic, he would become a true force of nature.


When Magus ascended to the Rank 7 Being of Laws, the Law Magi, they would be almost exclusive and use only two means of combat. The first was the direct application and manipulation of their comprehended Law, and the second was specifically crafted Magic based on the comprehended Law.


This naturally didn't mean that they had forsaken the other types of Magic, but they had chosen to delve only in the area of their comprehended Law because it was easiest for the said Magus and it was also the strongest one.


Because of that, the Path that Syre decided to walk was fascinating and powerful; as long as he succeeded, he would be able to imitate any kind of Magic System on the same level as he was.


He would be the ultimate versatile Magus; that would be a literal nightmare to fight against. The greatest disadvantage of this path was that such means would never be as strong as the origin or as the Magic that stemmed from the Magi that comprehend the said Laws.


He would still lack some percentage in the raw strength, yet even that could be solved as long as he achieved the greatest mastery over Law Godhood of Arcane and Magic.


According to Leylin's calculations, he assumed that Syre would need to reach the Rank 9 Law God to resolve this side effect of his path.


"Both of your requirements are for the things that we don't currently possess... though from the preliminary search of several Planes, I have found a few Planes that may fulfill the requirements for the objects that you need."


Leylin wanted for his sons to reach the Rank 7 before the time of the Final War between the Magus World and the World of Gods. If they succeeded and the Kirin Tor as a whole would have more Beings of Law during the Final War, Leylin could implement several God Slayer Plans that he had developed.


With more and more Divine Sparks of the Gods, from which could subsequently create more and more Magi of Laws from the members of the Farlier Family or the Ouroboros Clan. This was the fastest path for the Magi to reach the Being of Law.


Through the Divine Sparks of the Gods that already contained Laws.


"From now on, you should focus on searching through the planes that may have some artifacts or objects that could help you advance. In the worst case scenario, you could also consider finding planes that are under the control of Beings of Laws with the things or Laws that you need, and I will kill them so you could then advance."


Leylin stated that he wanted his sons to ascend to the Rank 7 as soon as possible.


Then they could be of use right now, even could be help to four madams of the Farlier Family in their breakthrough and conquer some resource-rich planes for the Ouroboros Clan.


The development of the Farlier Family and, by extension, of the Ouroboros Clan was of the utmost importance.


The development of the Kirin Tor and Dalaran Kingdom, by extension, was not that of importance, because it was mainly for the members that were not the people that bore the Bloodline of the Ouroboros Clan.


Due to that aspect, that the members of the Kirin Tor and Dalaran en masse were recruited from the external environment were now not in the program of development.

[Trafford]

After the meeting was concluded, Leylin was finished with handing everyone their tasks and missions, together with the Law Crystals for his wives. Now, the only thing that remained for him was to find suitable Planes that he could make use of.


This would be perhaps the most arduous task because finding a suitable plane for such a thing would be very hard. While Leylin already had an entire list of the Planes that he could use, but there were still some question marks above them.


Especially in a few of them, which were problematic because Leylin wasn't aware of the underlying power of the Planes and he didn't want to enter some Plane that had, for example, Rank 8 Being in it.


Such a thing would be more problematic than it was worth.


The Astral Plane was still pretty dangerous and while the Magus World was the most powerful Rank 8 Magus across the Astral Plane, after the fall of the ancient Magus Byron Empire, many changed.


During the era of the Byron Empire, the might and culture of the Magus Civilization spread towards the entirety of the Astral Plane. Many powerful Planes were conquered by the Byron Empire, and many were in hold of the power Rank 8 Magi.


Leylin didn't doubt for a moment that some of the planes were still under the control of the very same Rank 8 Magi, even after the fall of the Byron Empire.


After ascending to Rank 7, he was given access to the Library, and he knew that many of the powerful Imperial Nobles survived the fall of the Byron Empire after they had isolated themselves within their holds, which were most commonly the planes under their control.


"I could conduct a few trades with some old Magi to obtain information about the surviving Magi of the Byron Empire that remained cooped up within their plane up to this day."


He knew that many of the old Magi of Laws held such information and would be affordable to trade it with him. At the same time, he was also very wary of these old monsters that managed to survive the fall of the Byron Empire.


And to the third, Leylin was also very greedy for some of the Legacies left behind by the Byron Empire.


The Byron Empire was the pinnacle of the Magus Civilization of the World of Gods; they developed extremely high degrees of Magical Technology and Spellcraft, something that Leylin was eager to get his hands on.


It would also mean that he would have more things to trade with the members of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden and obtain things and means from the other Universes, something that was way out of his reach.


And also something that could be very well, used to grow strong at a much more alarming and faster rate than any other way.


As he was spending time in solace and thinking about his plans, suddenly, the Tarot Card that he was given, the one symbolizing the World Tarot Card: Code Name Zarathustra.


"And it seems that the time has come..."


He muttered when he noticed that the contact was coming from the Gu Long, who seemed to have succeeded in whatever he was doing in the Abyss and was planning to return back to the World of Gods.


"Congratulations are in place then, Gu Long..."


Leylin said as a holographic projection of the Gu Long appeared in front of Leylin, as he noticed subtle changes in the Gu Long's facial features. He noticed that he must have undergone some sort of evolution.


Which was only natural considering his Path and Race.


"To you as well... it seemed that you have managed to become Law God, which is a most splendid achievement."


Gu Long stated back as he looked at the Bloodline Monarch because becoming Law God was something to behold, even when he considered that he got some outside help in the creation of the Law God.


"Now, to get to the matters on hand. I will be returning to the World of Gods in a few days and from then, we can start the plans for the Baator and competition of your contract with my father."


Gu Long knew that Leylin was bound by the agreement between his father and him, thus he was forced to complete the content of the Geass; if not for that, then the creation of the Law Godhood by the Bloodline Monarch would be almost impossible.


"I am very well aware of that... the clone body in the World of Gods is still some way from reaching the Lesser God Rank. I will need to first ascend the Godhood in the World of Gods, before I can make a move on the other Archdevils of the Baator, they have been fortifying their Layers after I took over Dis."


Leylin knew that the situation within the Baator was far from ideal because it seemed that someone was in contact with the Archdevils from the Gods and gave them some information about him.


And naturally, those cunning devils were right now doing everything in their power to hinder his progress or possibly destroy him.


"I found a pretty powerful helper when I was in the Abyss... from another World on the level of the World of Gods and Magus World, possibly even higher. It is still very hard to tell the exact level of power of Oerth, but I have some suspicion that Oerth has at least someone on the Tier 12..."


Leylin frowned a bit when he heard that, but if they had another person on the level of Being of Law on their side, their chances of success would be tremendously increased.


"Is she to be trusted?"


Leylin asked warily because it was in his nature as Magus to never trust anyone with certain matters, and when it came to the plans in the World of Gods, he was very wary of someone from the Oerth.


"Yes."


Gu Long spent a long time with Iggwilv and knew that she was someone who could be trusted.

[Trafford]

Leylin knew that the Astral Plane wasn't the most powerful Plane in the wider Cosmos; there existed many other powerful places within their Universe, and the Astral Plane that contained only the World of Gods and Magus World was a small player on the grander scale.


So, technically speaking, Leylin was pretty much wary of everyone from more powerful Worlds, and it was for a very good reason at that. Nobody could know that if there won't be more and more people coming from the more advanced Planes.


"I will hold you at that... when exactly will you arrive at the World of Gods?"


Leylin asked as he looked at the projection of Gu Long through the Tarot Card.


"Four days... four days... there are still some things that we need to take care of with my newest associate, so only after that will we return."


Leylin nodded his head, hearing that, because he was already preparing everything within the World of Gods and especially on the Debanks Islands and Second Layer of the Nine Hells of the Baator, Dis.


"Head directly to the Debanks Islands; during the time you were gone, the consolidation of the Holy Nāga Empire has consolidated the rule over the place and even managed to establish a permanent portal with the Dis."


The Holy Nāga Empire was the starting point of their very own conquest of the other Layers of the Nine Hells of the Baator because it would link itself together with Dis, which was already under Leylin's control and allow for a steady flow of high-ranking Professionals.


The Church of the Heavenly Serpent has been cultivating a lot of high-ranking Professionals, be it Legendary-level ones or High-Ranking Legendary Professionals, especially since they had a huge number of Devil Hunters on their side.


This would prove essential in their war against the rest of the Baator.


"As you wish... have you gathered enough information about the Archdevils and their strength? We need to strike and kill them all in one swift manner, or else; their retaliation would be a pain in the ass to deal with, especially Asmodeus."


That was something that Leylin wholeheartedly agreed on with Gu Long because, according to the initial plans, they were to strike at the Archdevils and take at least several Layers of the Nine Hells of the Baator.


"Yes... they are scheming something and are preparing for the war... war of attrition, may I say; it seems that somebody from the Gods tipped them about the dangers that I represent to them and they are answering adequately."


Hearing that, even Gu Long was surprised to hear that the ever-arrogant Gods would lower themselves to work together with the Devils of the Nine Hells of the Baator, this was certainly out of their expectations.


And the consequences, while not really severe, were still problematic enough for their plans.


"Unexpected complication, but nothing that we can't deal with."


Gu Long stayed silent for a short time before he remarked the statement was something that Leylin agreed with. While the meddling of the Gods presented something that complicated things a bit, it wasn't anything severe.


"Indeed..."


When Gu Long cut the connection, Leylin returned to his matters, as he had many things to prepare for the upcoming endeavors within the World of Gods and his Apotheosis within the World of Gods.


After the Final War between the World of Gods and Magus World began, it would be the time, for his True Body to assimilate the Clone Body that was within the World of Gods.


In this way, he calculated, that he would be able to break through the Rank 8 Law God rather easily and even boost up his foundation. Naturally, this would depend mainly on the strength of the Clone Body within the World of Gods.


Due to that, Leylin wanted to ensure that his Clone Body got as strong as possible because it would be crucial for his future advancements.


***


Around the same time, Abyss.


Gu Long and Iggwilv the Witch Queen who already reached the start of the Law Mage of her world after she obtained the Seed of the First Flame, that Gu Long helped her to obtain.


Afterward, she was able to assimilate the Seed of the First Flame into her very own soul and transform her Demiplane into the greater realm, and subsequently ascend to the Beings of Law.


"Do you want to do something or can we already depart for the World of Gods?"


The Dragon Prince asked the Witch Queen who was busy reading some of the Demonic Tomes on their Abyssal Magic or whatever, it was something that was part of their loot from the last place that they raided.


After Iggwilv reached the Being of Law, her Magical Abilities reached really tremendous degrees, especially when it came to her control over the Magic Rules; she was able to escape even from far more powerful beings than she was.


Gu Long was using this to his advantage when he suggested that they should raid some Demon Clastles in the layers of the Abyss because, for sure, they would have some nice treasures.


His ideas were indeed great because they raided several prominent places that belonged to the powerful Demons, and they managed to obtain a lot of treasures, especially for Iggwilv, who obtained a lot of Magic Tomes and Grimoires.


"Only the library that belonged to one of the more powerful Demon Lords somewhere within the Abyss. It should not be protected, and we can raid the content; there should be some rare Magic Tomes and Grimoires that the Demon Lord collected if nothing more than just fun."


Iggwilv said almost immediately because she wanted to make use of this opportunity to the fullest, as it was a one-time opportunity to increase her collection of rare books and Grimoires.


Especially those who were in her specialty of Demonology.


"As you wish, but we should be fast; I need to return to the World of Gods as soon as possible; there were some minor complications in the future plans."

Dalaran, Kirin Tor, Secret Underground Laboratory of the Bloodline Monarch


Time passed.


Leylin had returned to the Magus World once again, as the trip to the Dreamscape was the last thing that he had done before he would turn his attention back to the World of Gods as Gu Long was scheduled to return soon.


In that brief moment, however, a Lord of Calamity had died at his hands. For him, facing and killing individual Lord of Calamity wasn't that much of a problem unless the Lord of Calamity wasn't someone extremely powerful.


Leylin Farlier was already a rank 7 Law God. The Nightmare Absorbing Physique was extremely demonic on its own, and with the support of Dreamscape Origin Force, his pure strength alone put him at Rank 8.


The Nightmare Absorbing Physique is the adored child of Dreamscape, and it was something that Leylin lacked to complete his vision for the future. To Dreamscape's World Will, the Lords of Calamity and Evil Sovereigns were like bloodsucking parasites.


Unable to bear it any longer, it gave birth to the Nightmare Absorbing Physique. In this gamble, Dreamscape did not withhold any authority or power, giving birth to an executioner to get rid of these parasites.


Hence, every Nightmare King bore the burden of purging unwanted parasites on Dreamscape, in order to protect the peace and balance. And now, Leylin obtained the Nightmare Absorption Physique and assimilated it to his own power.


He surpassed ordinary Lords of Calamity by a great margin, which even allowed him to kill one of them. If news of this got out, it would surely shake countless worlds. However, that would be accompanied by the spread of Leylin's name.


The Magus World would face the retaliation of the other Lords of Calamity.


Which was no laughing matter, because there were a lot of them and all of them were at the Rank 8 and they were also very good combatants, so, it would be for the best to keep the things under wraps.


Although the subterranean Magi of laws had the ability to resist the attack, the surface world did not. Leylin did not feel that Mother Core would so generously make an enemy out of a whole group of Lords of Calamity to protect him, so it was better to keep a low profile.


"How long was I gone this time?"


Leylin walked to the corner of the laboratory and looked at the black sculpture of a demi-snake.


"You have been away for 7 days and 9 Magus hours, my Lord. Lady Freya and Lady Agnes came to find you this time, leaving a short message…"


With a rumble, the statue seemed to come to life within a short span of time. It became a demisnake golem guard and respectfully bowed to Leylin.


Leylin was now extremely clear on his Path as a Magus.


A Rank 7 comprehended one complete law, and a Rank 8 had to master many.


A peak Rank 8 then needed to infuse a law they created themselves into their body, representing it as a path of sorts. To advance to Rank 9, this Path needed to contain the power of spacetime itself...


His Path of the Law God was essentially the same as the Path of the Magus.


'My Path has already been chosen. I can only tune it now, not make great changes… Unneeded laws need to be removed…'


Leylin ordered:


"A.I. Chip, display my stats, including the minor Laws that I obtained."


[Leylin Farlier


Divine Name: Nāgarāja, the Heavenly Serpent God of Devouring, Bloodlines and Serpents


Race: Law God (Nāga Bloodline - Rank 7)


Rank: Rank 7 - Law God (Rank 7 Magus / Lesser God)


Law Godhood: Devouring (100%), Slaughter (71%), Bloodlines (10%), Serpents (12%), Nightmare (35%)


Laws: Calamity (27%), Decay (15%), Curses (1%), Darkness (1%)


Godhood Index: 1,680


Strength: 35


Agility: 31


Vitality: 35


Spiritual Force: 42


Origin Force Saturation Level: 80%


State of the Soul: Law Godhood Soul


Innate Talent: Nāga Supremacy, Nightmare Absorption


Law Godhood Abilities: All Devour]


Compared to before, his stands have increased mildly, as Leylin pondered over the matter, but the most important thing that was taking most of his attention was naturally the section of the Law Comprehension of the Law Godhood.


He had too many of them, from his foundation as the Magus, but he knew that in order to reach the Rank 9 Law God, he would need to fuse them together to create one singular Law Godhood that would be versatile enough and encompass all others.


"Devouring and Slaughter are set to take on important roles in my Path. However, Calamity, Decay, Darkness and Curses can be removed from my Truesoul… Fortunately, my comprehension of these laws is not too deep. With the construction of my soul and the A.I. Chip's meticulous workings, I can remove them from my body without any harm…"


He obtained a new Law Godhood of Nightmares, that stemmed from the Nightmare Absorption Physique and the Dreamscape inheritance. Aside from that, Leylin also noticed that he had a whole new bunch of the Laws that he obtained from killing the Lord of Calamity.


The Laws of the Decay, Darkness, Curse and Calamity were something that he obtained more or like randomly after he killed the Lord of the Calamity, Sillas a Rank 8 Lord Calamity at that, one of the first that was killed by him.


From him, he obtained part of the Laws that Sillas held, which were Decay, Curse and, naturally, the most prominent one, Calamity.


Unfortunately for Leylin, for him these Laws were unnecessary because they were not really part of his very own vision for his Path.


On the contrary, having so many Laws was often contradicting and made it much harder for the Magus to reach the Rank 9.


That was often the reason why many of the peak Rank 8 Magi or other Beings of Law couldn't ascend to Rank 9.


'A.I. Chip! Activate the Manderhawke Plate's power to travel worlds and connect to my secondary clone in the World of Gods!'

[Trafford]

The Manderhawke Plate floated from Leylin's palms, strange runes filling it as it opened a black tunnel.


In the World of Gods, Leylin's Demigod Clone opened its eyes, and a golden light flashed through them. Black animal skin appeared, carrying intricate runes and radiating an ancient yet mysterious aura.


This was something Leylin acquired in the western desert. Back then, he'd only thought of the seal as rather unique and guessed that it had contained much information.


*Beep!*


Two rays of golden lightning struck the animal skin from Leylin's eyes, the patch of skin immediately floating into the sky as a lot of information was transmitted.


"A.I. Chip, begin to synchronize the transmission!"


Demigod Leylin ordered before closing his eyes again…


At this moment, Leylin completed his transmission from the Magus World, using the tunnel created by the Manderhawke Plate to send information to the auxiliary A.I. Chip.


[Beep! Receipt sent from the auxiliary chip, transmission 100% completed. Decompression ongoing…]


The A.I. Chip projected a lot of information to Leylin in the Magus World on a large flickering screen.


A trove of data was sealed within that obscure piece of animal skin, containing the accumulation of information from an ancient civilization. The Demigod had done most of the decrypting, so Leylin only had to peruse the information sent over to the A.I. Chip.


"The Theory of Overgod Weapons…"


"Origin Force sensing and construction…"


"The foundation of Overgod Weapons— 4D planes…"


"Divine Magic of the World of Gods..."


"Analysis of the Weave..."


The folder was extremely large, containing a sea of information. Most of it pertained to the construction of Overgod Weapons.


"They were a short-lived civilization that appeared after the dusk of the Gods in the period known as the dark ages. Inspired by Arcanist Theory, the civilization specialized in weaponsmithing. This Overgod Weapon is their ultimate design, but even the might of their entire civilization couldn't help them finish it…"


Leylin's eyes blazed as he looked at the information.


This was an Overgod weapon, a concept from the World of Gods, a pinnacle of the weaponsmithing and Divine Weapons of the entire world. This was something that Leylin wanted to obtain at any cost.


The engineers of that civilization had wished to construct a weapon stronger than the concept of the Divinity, an overwhelming tool that could slay even Gods and was essentially the best Godslayer Weapon possible.


Leylin knew that the Overgod Weapon had a different name...


An Origin Force Weapon, a tool that was fuelled by the World Origin Force designed to harm beings of Laws. Such a thing would be a priceless artifact even in far more advanced Worlds than the Magus World or the World of Gods.


Now that Leylin himself was a Rank 7 Warlock, he realized the difference between this Realm and the rest of the Ranks that he was in.


After becoming the Being of Law, or in his case, attaining the Law Godhood, the Beings of Law stopped using the Spells and Magic itself. Instead, they started using their very own Laws combined with the World Origin Force.


Few innate bloodlines could be activated in this realm.


Because of this, Leylin had to devise new measures for battle. A weapon made of Origin Force would definitely increase his power tremendously. Not to mention that he was creating a Magic that was specifically to be used by the Beings of Law.


'During the process of constructing a Divine Weapon, the Gods will often put in their own flesh, blood and soul into it. That is why a divine weapon achieves such godly powers. Origin Force weapons work on the foundation of Origin Force, bringing greater difficulty into their construction. Of course, the weapons might increase as well…'


Leylin was assimilating all of the information that he got from his Clone Body.


The Clone Body of Leylin's within the World of Gods was tasked with collecting as much knowledge from all corners of the World of Gods as possible. Now that it was all transmitted to the True Body, it took some time to digest it entirely.


To Leylin, the construction of a weapon using Origin Force was not a problem because he could construct an even better version of the Origin Force Weapon due to his crystallized knowledge of several civilizations.


His authority in Dreamscape would allow him to do so. After all, he wouldn't dare absorb too much of Dreamscape's Origin Force himself, so it was viable for him to use it on his weapon.


With Origin Force as a foundation, an Overgod Weapon was not something as simple as purely wielding Origin Force to attack.


It was two different concepts.


Deep down in Leylin's heart, he devised an even grander plan.


He wanted to inscribe the Laws that were useless to him onto the Origin Force weapon and create an even more terrifying tool of destruction and supportive powers. It would be acting as a catalyst for his power, amplifying them to an even greater degree.


With the Law Godhood of Devouring, he would definitely consume even greater existences in the future in order to pry apart the Laws that they had comprehended. As for the Laws that were not useful for his Path, Leylin would then transfer them to this weapon and increase its power.


With this, he would obtain not only an immensely powerful weapon but also an exceptionally powerful Mystic Code that would be most suitable for casting his Magic Spells or acting as an amplifier for his other abilities.


With that many Laws infused in it, Leylin could only guess what a monstrosity it would become in the future. And aside from the Laws themselves, Leylin also planned to incorporate the concept of the Godhood into the weapon to increase its power and potency.


One day, the name of this weapon would reverberate around the entire cosmos, making the many existences of Law shudder in fear and despair. However, he would also need a lot of precious materials that would act as the base for the weapon.


It would need to be made from the best materials as possible to withstand the overwhelming power that he planned to inscribe into the weapon. He would need to obtain them at first; that would be rather an arduous thing to do, but Leylin had time for that.

World of Gods, Debanks Islands, Holy Nāga Empire, Imperial Capital.


Leylin's clone within the World of Gods opened its eyes, as the connection between the True Body and the Clone Body was firmly established right now, and the Clone Body received instructions from the True Body.


Now, it was clear that the Gu Long would be returning to the World of Gods at any given moment; Leylin knew that it was time for the Clone Body to ascend to Godhood and also to fulfill the contract with the Father of All Devils.


Obtaining the Bloodline Source of the Innate Archdevil Species and his job would be done.


"It seems that the time has come..."


Leylin stated quietly because he had been suppressing his advance to Godhood with his Clone Body for some time already. The last people who had some Divinities in the area of Massacres were already killed, and the sole thing that Leylin needed was a bit of time.


Now, the time has come, as he finally stopped the process, and he felt an instantaneous change within his entire very own being.


[Beep! Host is beginning ascension. Being amplified by the power of Faith, comprehending the Law of Massacre!]


[Beep! Host's comprehension of the Law of Massacres is at 67%… 80%…]


The A.I. Chip's prompts were refreshed continuously.


The laws of the World of Gods were different from the Magus World, and the Gods could use faith to comprehend laws. The process of solidifying one's Divine Domain was, in fact, the process of comprehending that Law.


Leylin obviously would not let this hard-to-come-by opportunity slip past him. Tremendous amounts of Divine will rushed forth as he recorded all his realizations about the Massacre.


As his True Body was already God, he was having a much easier time when it came to Apotheosis to the True God.


At this moment, the power of the Weave went berserk above Debanks Island. Mystra's figure revealed itself, dressed in splendid clothing. Tyr's Avatar showed itself as well, holding a large blade with both hands. The Avatars of two Greater Gods had arrived here, and they obviously harbored terrible intentions.


Some Demigods obtained favor from certain Gods, but that wasn't for free. During their Ascension, these Gods would especially show themselves and protect them via their Avatars.


However, Mystra and Tyr were obviously not about to do this. Leylin was an enemy to both of them and both of them perceived Leylin as a danger to the balance because they could sense his power and also something was unsettling about him, especially Mystra.


In the skies above Debanks Island, the Goddess of the Weave and the God of Justice were standing side by side.


"Two of those False Gods have been defeated by Gruumsh."


Mystra said with conviction as she looked towards the horizon. Normally already established Gods were not really thrilled about new Demigods ascending to the Godhood, especially the ones that were not affiliated with any other God.


One could say, that the Greater Gods of the World of Gods that ruled the Divine Council of the Gods had controlled approximately 95% of the Demigods that could ascend to the Godhood...


Very few of the Demigods could ascend to Godhood if the Greater Gods decided to intervene and sabotage their Apotheosis Ceremony.


"In comparison, the creature's accumulation is terrifying. To directly overcome the vengeful spirits and the Origin Force… It looks like his comprehension of his Law is extremely deep as well, and it won't be a problem for him to enter his Divine Domain…"


Tyr looked at Leylin surrounded by Origin Force, the evil energy making him furrow his brows, as the projection of the Nāga looked at all of them menacingly, basking in the aura of Slaughter that was so intense, that it made even powerful Greater Gods take a step in fear.


How had they not noticed this huge tumor that had been hidden in the Prime Material Plane before?


For them Leylin was dangerous and they needed to prevent his Apotheosis, and they were not even aware that he was ruler of one of the Nine Hells of the Baator. If they knew that information, they would do everything in their power to kill him at any cost.


Something that Asmodeus was right now doing according to all the information that Leylin got, as the Hell Lords of the Baator were mobilizing their armies to attack Dis, utterly unaware that they were falling into their trap.


Just a few minutes ago, Leylin got information that Gu Long had arrived at the Dis and was right now hiding and waiting for the Archdevils.


"He's currently protected by Origin Force, as a matter of Law we cannot interfere…"


However, Mystra faintly added another word to this statement.


"Unless…"


Tyr looked at the primate that appeared in the sky.


"Unless it's by a God in an identical Domain, who can devour the power of Law."


Malar's avatar bellowed with rage, its huge claws pulling back as the Law of Massacre descended upon the World of Gods. It caused Leylin's Divine Domain to grow unstable, and scarlet lightning struck his Divine Spark.


"Malar..."


Leylin narrowed his eyes at Malar, who was one of the Intermediate Gods of the World of Gods and God of Hunt that had certain interests within the Domain of Slaughter. But... Leylin was already prepared for the scenario.


While this was his Apotheosis Ceremony, at the same time, it was a deliberately crafted trap for the Malar to lure him here so he could kill him and assimilate this strength and especially the Divinity of the Massacres that Malar held.


"How could I forget you?"


He'd seen the Beast God use this move on Chester Potter but a short while ago, so Leylin was naturally prepared for the scenario.


"It's time to use you. Go!"


Leylin's hands suddenly opened up, and surging divine force mixed with the power of Faith isolated the scarlet lightning for a moment. Leylin fished out a crystal ball with huge amounts of blurry spirits inside it, directly transforming them into Soul Force that was absorbed by the Godfire.

[Trafford]

These spirits had been stored by Akaban, the Emperor and founder of the former Sakartes Empire. There were millions upon millions of Souls within the crystal, because Akaban has been collecting them for countless centuries.


He planned to ascend to the Greater God Rank the moment he finished his Apotheosis with the usage of the overwhelming number of Souls, but unfortunately for him, he met Leylin and thus met his ultimate demise.


A small number of them had been used for tests in Baator, but now Leylin had cast most of them out.


His Godfire rumbled as it absorbed so many spirits, its power skyrocketing as a sparkling translucent crystal emerged, the depiction of his Divine Domain.


This crystal was flawless, a hint of blood to its color indicating that it belonged exclusively to a God of Massacre.


"Such a pity. Malar is only a Lesser God in the end. If Cyric was here, this Demigod could only fall…"


Mystra's face was full of doubt because, with the death of Malar, there was nothing that could stop Leylin from his Apotheosis to the Lesser God Ranks.


"Why exactly is Cyric sitting back and watching others take over his domain?"


"There's no use guessing right now!"


Tyr shouted from beside her, his huge sword in hand.


"All we can do now is wait. The power of Laws and the Prime Material Plane will stop protecting him once he Ascends, and he'll be thrown out. A Lesser God has nowhere to run facing my true body…"


As a Greater God, Tyr was confident in himself, because once Leylin finished the Apotheosis they could still kill him, as the disparity in power between them was too huge. In his eyes, the Lesser God had no chance of surviving the confrontation with the Greater God like him.


Someone who has reached the peak of the Greater God.


"That's the only way."


Mystra sighed. Her heart was filled with anxiety, but she had no other choices because she had different options and suspicions about the entire thing.


She was feeling that something was taking place in the shadows, that someone was scheming something and right now, the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.


From the first moment she found about the existence of Leylin, she felt that there was something odd about the man, something that she couldn't explain and her inborn precognition abilities couldn't see.


But even though it was shielded in the unknown, that didn't stop her from suspecting that something really terrible was brewing within the World of Gods.


***


[Beep! The host has obtained the Divine Domain of Massacres. Comprehension of the Law of Massacres has reached 100%.]


[All conditions have been met, the host is now ascending…]


[The host comprehension of Massacre rule: 100%! All the conditions have been met! Advancing to the True God!]


[Beep! The host has automatically been classified as a Legendary Priest. All spells unlocked.]


All of Leylin's followers seemed to sense something at this moment, their eyes brimming with tears of excitement as they started praying.


"Nāgarāja, my Lord, you are the Lord of our Souls. You shall shelter us in your Kingdom after Death, for you are the ruler of all!"


"Nāgarāja, my Lord, rule the Massacres and Slaughter. The Death of your enemies shall bring you power, and you are the End of everything!"


"Nāgarāja, my Lord, you rule the Bloodlines and Serpents. We wish for your throne to join the stars in the skies!"


Devout prayer spread across the prime material plane, followed by Baator, the Abyss, the heavens, and even the entire astral plane.


Those of Legendary Might, Devils, Demons, Vampires, Dragons, Humans and all other creatures that worshipped the Nāgarāja and Church of the Heavenly Serpent; they all shifted their attention to this location.


A True God had been born, recognized by the world to stand at its peak!


The terror of the Law of Massacre was enough to support a powerful God, because it was one of the more combat-oriented Divine Domains and Godhoods, giving him a tremendous advantage in combat.


Furthermore, Leylin hadn't comprehended the Law step by step, instead having it all thrust upon him through Faith and the power of the World Origin Force.


It caused him to feel bloated in an instant as the terrifying energy mixed with Faith spread around his body. If not for the Divine Body he already possessed, Leylin would have exploded due to the enormous force.


But he was prepared for this moment since the first second he stepped foot on the World of Gods and he gathered Faith and Worshippers just for this moment. He could have ascended to Godhood a long time ago, but he was waiting for the right opportunity.


And that had now come.


With such terrifying energy, his Godfire and Divine Force seemed to fuse with his Divine Domain, ultimately forming a True God's body. In that split second, Leylin Faulen had entered the realms of Rank 7 and became a True God!


Though he knew that this wasn't the end, because he still hadn't used all of the reserves of Faith and things that he collected during his time in the World of Gods and all of his preparations, but now, there was no time for that...


The more pressing matter appeared...


The whole world started to roar, and the space around Leylin began to shatter.


The world was beginning to suppress him, the prime material plane unable to accommodate the body of a true god. It was urging him on, to move into the Starry Sky of the World of Gods and establish his Divine Kingdom.


'Establish a Divine Kingdom? And in the Starry Sky in that? I am not that idiotic, you fools...'


With his Ascension, Leylin had an understanding of the process of establishing his Divine Kingdom that was almost second nature. The moment he became God, he obtained the innate knowledge of how to construct the Divine Kingdom.


Through various means or combinations of luck and fate, he managed to gather the favor of the Origin Force, the construction of his Divine Kingdom would far surpass normal Domains and save a great amount of Divine Force.

[Trafford]

Aside from that, Leylin had a rather profound understanding of Godhood and the Divine Kingdoms from the several Universes, so his Divine Kingdom would be vastly different from the traditional Divine Kingdoms of the World of Gods.

His True Body didn't have the Divine Kingdom as the Godhood Method that his True Body practiced didn't require or have the Divine Kingdom once someone ascended to the True God Rank.

At the same time, Leylin observed the reactions of Tyr and Mystra, who were waiting for Leylin to leave the Prime Material Plane to ambush him. But he waiting for them to act, because they would be just falling into his trap.

"Haha… Mystra, Tyr, I'm sorry to disappoint…"

Leylin laughed wildly. This was only the tip of the iceberg.

"A Divine Kingdom? My choice is— here! Activate the Divine Realm Creation Plan!"

Leylin floated up into the sky, suddenly pointing towards Debanks Island.

What Leylin was aiming to create was not only a simple Divine Kingdom, but instead, he was going to entire entire Divine Realm that would function like the Divine Kingdom but on far greater way and with far more power.

Once the Divine Realm was created, Leylin wanted to infuse not only the entire Nine Hells of the Baator but also the whole World of Gods in the future. When it then fused into his True Body his combat prowess would be outstanding even among other high-Tiered entities.

Golden Divine Force whizzed out, instantly surrounding the entire island and changing the Laws of Space and Time within.

The sea Origin Force attracted during his advancement had yet to disperse, giving Leylin a large reserve of energy that allowed him to cause drastic changes to the large island.

Earthquakes and tsunamis rocked Debanks Island, but all of Leylin's worshippers were sheltered by the golden Divine Force. Large traces of Divine Power caused many natives to start kowtowing in a frenzy.

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, your seat is Royal and Divine, like the stars in the skies!"

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, your seat is Royal and Divine, like the stars in the skies!"

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, your seat is Royal and Divine, like the stars in the skies!"

"Your seat is Royal and Divine, like the stars in the skies!"

Truth be told, even if all ascension ceremonies had this line in them that was merely a wish of the gods.

The establishment of a Divine Kingdom wasn't something one could do overnight, not to mention a throne among the stars. Such a thing would deplete several centuries of accumulation of a Lesser God instantly!

However, Leylin was different. He'd still held onto the Origin Force sea that had helped him ascend, and he had a trump card.

"My Ascension Ceremony is far from being over!"

Leylin exclaimed loudly, and the entirety of Debanks Island began to tremble.

The light of the divine kingdom enveloped the entire region, separating the outside space from the island itself. The ocean separated from the land, and Debanks Island had turned into a semi-plane in an instant.

"A Royal Seat? How?"

Mystra who was observing the entire affair from the distance felt like all her knowledge and expertise with the Divine had vanished today.

She was unable to comprehend Leylin, no matter how much she tried.

'Even if he still has the Origin Force from his Ascension, it's definitely not enough!'

What she naturally didn't know was that Leylin was using widespread God Creation Formation from long-dead civilizations from different Universe, to supplement his Ascension, aside from using various precious materials from the different Universes that were related to the Divine.

This was the first step in his grand plan to create the Divine Realm, encompassing his Holy Nāga Empire on the Debanks Islands and the Nine Hells of the Baator, where an entirely different thing was already taking place.

The World Origin Force began to surge wildly.

The entirety of the southern seas roared as the miniature continent that was Debanks Island together with the large part of the Southern Seas were removed from it. This was an extremely big chunk of the world being taken off the map, so the repercussions of such an act were unimaginable.

Fortunately enough he had a tremendous amount of the Divine Powers or else, he would be able to take only the Debanks Islands and nothing more. This way, he was able to take together with it, as well as the entire Southern Seas.

"The destination is Baator. Let's go!"

A phantom of Leylin appeared in the skies. At the borders of the world, one could see the giant turn its head towards Baator.

A fist comprised of immense, endless origin force broke free of any obstructions posed by the prime material plane, beginning to sink down…

***

The Second Hell of Baator, Dis.

The Origin Force of the world began to smolder as an infinite power of Law moved out to link with Debanks Island, officially creating a new dimension and realm.

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, you are the marshal of all devils, the Lord of Hell! The entirety of Dis shall become your divine kingdom!"

In the innumerable space nodes within Dis, the devils that were dispatched from Debanks Island had begun to pray in unison.

The Second Hell of the Baator Dis trembled violently as if welcoming a newborn child.

Many devils of the Baator sensed the change and began to turn uneasy.

However, even at the highest level of their hierarchy the Lords of Baator couldn't do a thing about it, because this was already without their grasp the moment he activated the Spell and started his Apotheosis.

"NOO!"

An extremely unwilling roar rang out from the Ninth Hell of the Baator Nessus.

The deep valley of Nessus was split open to reveal the massive body of a devil. This was the true body of Asmodeus, the Supreme of Baator. It had been recuperating from serious injuries all this while, leaving all matters to be taken care of by a clone.

"In my name as Nāgarāja, Dis now has the authority to collect the souls of my worshippers. The primordial contract shall be rendered void!"

Leylin immediately used his Godhood to counter Asmodeus.

 

[Trafford]

"There's no use in making any noises; get lost!"

The second Hell of the Nine Hells of the Baator Dis rumbled, and Asmodeus's figure immediately turned smaller.

As Leylin activated the onslaught of his Divine Kingdom, the Archdevil was sent flying back to Nessus.

Debanks Island had immediately merged with Dis, and radiated with a Holy Light, as the foundation of his Divine Realm was already established. However, once it was done, it couldn't be called Baator due to the Primordial Contract with the Father of All Devils.

"Nāgarāja, my Lord, you are the Creator of Order, Lord of the Chaos, Master of the Bloodlines, Sovereign of Devouring, Serpent that Eats the World, the Overlord of all Devils. You are the Wielder of Massacre, the Lord of Dis."

Prayers resounded as the two planes experienced a perfect fusion.

Leylin had prepared for this, remodeling Debanks Island to be similar to Dis so they could draw closer.

A golden glow spread across the former Second Hell of the Baator Dis.

A large region around the middle of the Iron Tower in the middle of Dis had been evacuated, and Debanks Island fit into the place like a tile of a puzzle. The Laws of the two began to blend together, eventually forming a DvineKingdom that belonged to Leylin alone.

With the accumulated area of Dis, Leylin instantly overtook all Lesser Gods in the aspect of his DivineKingdom. Golden light shrouded the heavens and the earth, and all of Leylin's believers, regardless of race, obtained an enormous boost to their power.

And this wasn't the end, as Gu Long and Iggwilv were observing the happenings from a safe distance in the emptiness of the Void.

"Let the Divine Realm be born today; let the Araboth rise from the Dis and Debanks Islands!"

Instantly, the spell formations that were laid down around the entirety of the Dis and Debanks Islands were activated because the moment the two objects fused together as the formations finally completed, a small crystal that was in the middle of the newly formed realm started shining in bright azure blue color.

Leylin controlled the swirling energies of the Void and Origin Force as the entirely new Divine Realm was being created from the Dis and Debanks Islands. This was something unprecedented because the concept of the Divine Realm was something totally foreign to this part of the Universe.

He obtained it from the Father of All Devils as he started building a far more powerful version of the Divine Kingdom that was far bigger and more potent than the Divine Kingdom ever could be.

Not to mention, this method was a combination of the Divine Realm from the Shao Universe and the creation of the Dimensional Pantheon Worlds from the Astral Boundary Universe.

Meaning that Leylin could assimilate the Divine Kingdoms of the other Gods into his Divine Realm.

And with a loud bang, the Araboth Divine Realm was born and appeared in the place where once the merged Dis and Debanks Islands existed.

The Divine Realm was massive right from the start and radiated tremendous power, causing even a few of the Greater Gods to take a step back when they looked at the newly created Dimension.

***

"So he was also a Lord of Baator… We've failed completely this time…"

Mystra laughed bitterly.

"The entirety of Dis as his Divine Kingdom and he managed to create some weird huge Realm from it... and an endless army of devils… He really is hard to handle…"

No matter how much thought he put into it, he never would have been able to guess Leylin's plans. Even after Leylin's success, his insane approach was still unbelievable.

"He's started to raise his Divine Essence."

Tyr interrupted at that instant, causing Mystra to calm down and begin sensing the movements in Dis.

Divine Essence was the proof of God's strength. To an extent, it was even more important than their position in their Domain, giving them their Divine Rank.

Some ordinary True Gods, if they accumulated Divine Essence the moment they advanced, would just be jokes at Divine Rank 0.

To be at Divine Rank 1 just as one advanced to become a Lesser God could be considered very good, while rank 2s and 3s were rare geniuses. Of course, this didn't count those like Cyric, who had the fortune to inherit the Divinity of powerful Gods.

Those were special cases, and could not be compared to the rest.

The very second Leylins started gathering Divine Essence, he shot to the Divine Rank 3, but it didn't stop there.

They sensed Leylin's Divine Rank rising rapidly, not slowing in the slightest after he reached rank 3. He broke through Divine Rank 4 and Divine Rank 5, slowing down only when he reached rank 6.

He had become Divine Rank 7 Lesser God in one go...

"Divine Rank 8, the pinnacle of the Lesser Gods… Just one level away from being an Intermediate God… He's a monster! A monster!"

And when they thought that the situation couldn't get even worse, Leylin, who right now used the pinnacle of the Lesser Gods, waved his hand as Origin Force and Faith congregated around him, and his advancement started once again.

He used everything that he had prepared for the whole centuries, as he broke instantly through the barrier of Lesser God and Intermediate God, and his Divine Rank started rising rapidly once more, supported by the newly established Araboth Divine Realm.

Divine Rank 9.

Divine Rank 10.

Divine Rank 11.

Divine Rank 12.

Divine Rank 13.

Divine Rank 14.

Divine Rank 15.

Divine Rank 16.

As he reached the pinnacle of Intermediate Godhood, he felt that his power right now wasn't inferior to any average Rank 8 Magus; he crushed the last of the reserves prepared for this moment, as the Will of the Universe itself rewarded him for the creation of the Divine Realm.

Naturally, this reward also extended to his True Body, which was safely hidden in the Magus World.

Divine Rank 17, reached!

All of the other Gods that were observing this were frightened by the sight and escaped as far as they could because, in fact, coupled with his Divine Realm, he could be a very real deadly threat to the Greater Gods.

Looking at his stats, he knew that his power reached the heights where he would be able to fight the power Rank 8 Beings, so he was now preparing for the last parts of the Primordial Contract that he had with the Father of All Devils.

The fulfillment of the Primordial Contract was near and after that, he would have completed his obligation.

"Isabel, Azlok, Borke!"

Leylin turned to his cousin and the two other large devils. Azlok and Borke, with his Apotheosis complete, received a tremendous boost in power and they were able to compete against average Rank 7 Beings of Law if they were lucky enough.

Both of them were also in charge of the Devil Armies of the Baator, while Isabel was in charge of the armies of the Holy Nāga Empire that was now fused into the Baator, creating together the Araboth Divine Realm.

"You did well!"

He started by expressing his approval, then moved on to the main question because now that he had finished the Apotheosis, he could take the entire Baator for himself...

"How are the war preparations?"

The entire Baator and the Holy Nāga Empire were preparing for the subsequent invasion of the other Layers of the Nine Hells of the Baator.

"The Devil Hunters are ready and waiting."

Isabel said with a bow.

"The Flame Devils and Armies of Gluttony are prepared to receive your orders."

Azlok and Borke bowed elegantly as well, their eyes full of a thirst for battle and unification. Devils liked order, and unification and laws were a representation of that.

All the Lords of Baator were unsatisfied with its current segmented nature, and now these two believed they'd found a chance to combine the Nine Hells once more!

"Good. Begin operations immediately."

Space flickered, and the three figures disappeared.

Leylin's new Divine Realm began to make an abrupt move.

All higher existences shifted their attention to the Nine Hells once more. The former Second Hell glowed with Divinity, causing all the Divine consciences watching to be filled with suspicion and confusion.

[Beep! Host body has created an avatar. 100 Divine Force consumed.]

[Beep! Host body has created an avatar. 100 Divine Force consumed.]

[Beep! Host body has created an avatar. 100 Divine Force consumed.]

'Gu Long are you ready?'

Leylin sent a telepathic message to the Dragon Prince, who was slumbering in the depths of the Baator. At the same time, three bright balls of golden light separated themselves from Leylin, warping in the air into three doppelgangers that looked exactly the same as him.

'Yes... we are in position near Nessus... when you start, we will ambush Asmodeus when the time is right...'

Isabel raised the Red Dragon Sword high up, announcing the start of the war against the other Hells of the Baator, as all of them would be soon enough assimilated as part of the Araboth Divine Realm.

"The Lord has sent us a decree. The target is Minauros. In the name of the Lord, ATTACK!"

"In the name of the Lord!"

"The Holy Nāgarāja is watching us!"

Huge portals opened up, and the Devil Hunters called out Leylin's true name as they marched into the battlefield.

***

First Hell of the Nine Hells of the Baator Avernus, World of Gods.

The earth rumbled as even greater power radiated than before.

Divine Light filled the First Hell, and at that moment, the Laws of Leylin's Araboth Divine Realm fused with the Original Laws of hell to begin remodeling everything. Slowly but steadily, the First Hell of the Baator, Avernus, was being assimilated into the Araboth Divine Realm.

Those gazing upon Baator from the outside would see an extremely interesting scene.

Avernus and Minauros, as the First and Third Hells, respectively, had originally been sandwiching Dis between them. Now, Araboth Divine Realm began to emanate a bright luster that was corroding these two Hells of Baator.

Minauros was only slightly affected, but Avernus was taken over completely and assimilated into the Araboth Divine Realm, becoming part of the Divine Realm, which strengthened Leylin by a great degree.

Under Azlok and Borke, large numbers of devils had broken through into Avernus from the Araboth Divine Realm.

Numerous powerful conscients arrived in the place in a moment, filled with anxious questions and terrifying roars.

Nothing could exceed this situation in its abruptness...

***

Amidst the army at Minauros.

Leylin's avatar was still speaking to Isabel, as he was observing the advance of the Devils into the Third Hell. The combined armies of the Holy Nāga Empire and the original Dis, were pushing the forces of Mammon with ease.

"There are three reasons I want to seize two of the hells immediately..."

Leyin stated as he looked at the retreating forces of Mammon, who were being crushed under the machine of the Araboth Divine Realm.

"First and foremost, Araboth Divine Realm is still technically speaking considered the part of the Nine Hells of the Baator and is interconnected and would be unless I completely broke it apart or assimilated it entirely."

Even though the Araboth Divine Realm was created from the Dis and Debanks Islands, technically speaking, it still remained as part of the Baator.

Albeit not physically, but from a more metaphysical point of view, from the point of view of the Primordial Laws, it was still part of the Nine Hells of the Baator.

"If I don't occupy more and gain the upper hand, the other Lords will definitely unify to resist me and make my progress much slower, not to mention, I want to fulfill the Contract with 'Him' right now as we have the prime opportunity."

He then summarized his reasons for the invasion of the other Layers, as this wasn't just invasion of the Avernus and Minauros, but also the other Layers, but he was just acting like he was going to invade only these two Layers.

 

[Trafford]

"However, if I can fuse the first three layers, I'll immediately have the power to attack the other Layers far more effectively, together with Gu Long, which can pincer them between us, so the Lords won't be able to act against us in an organized manner. Not to mention, without Asmodeus, they are like headless chickens."

The rest of the Lords aren't of one mind, and they would be able to rope them in or attack them individually.

"Ah. Since Asmodeus was gravely injured by the Origin Force during the descent of the Divine Kingdom, he can't come out anymore. The rest of the Lords are leaderless, so they can't work together now... but when the situation becomes too grave, Asmodeus would be forced to leave Nessus even in the state he was in and fight for his survival, where he would be ambushed by Dragon Prince and Witch, and you would take on the disorganized Hell Lords one by one..."

Isabel seemed to understand as she was catching too fast on the happenings and his machinations.

Everything that was happening right now was just an elaborately crafted and planned trap towards conquering all the Layers of the Baator and assimialting them into the Araboth Divine Realm in one go.

And now was the best opportunity because Asmodeus was severely injured and unable to act; they would take the remaining Layers of the Baator by storm. When the attacks became too much and losses too high, then no matter how injured Asmodeus was, he would be forced to act against Leylin.

And that would be time for what Gu Long and Iggwilv were waiting.

They would ambush and kill the ruler of the Baator and the leader of the Archdevils, and for a better and smoother advance, Leylin had another thing prepared in his sleeve.

'Master, Thultantar is prepared for the offense.'

The ancient Netherese had established the splendor of the Arcanists. In the period of darkness after the dusk of the gods, the Arcanists had saved the commoners from savagery and foolishness, building a civilization the Gods themselves feared.

Combined with their flying cities, ancient great Arcanists had the power to kill Gods themselves with their pinnacle magic.

The Gods would not stand such an affront to their existence, and the Arcanists who coveted Origin Force and touched on several taboos were exterminated.

However, that very war that had destroyed the Netheril Empire had also gravely hurt the Gods.

Many had fallen, and the number of Gods decreased without end.

Because of this painful lesson, the Arcanists became taboo and were annihilated by numerous Churches. All tomes related to the Netheril Empire were destroyed, creating another era of savagery.

One flying city of the Arcanists had managed to survive that period, and at a specified time, it had returned to the Prime Material Plane. It was in the western desert the Thultanthar fell into Leylin's hands.

He hadn't used the Thultanthar before, but now was the perfect opportunity because he didn't have to fear anything and anyone.

As long as he conquered all of the Layers of the Baator and assimilated them to his Abaroth Divine Realm, then the Gods wouldn't be really a problem for him because, within his Divine Realm, he would be safe and, practically speaking, untouchable...

Leylin even repaired the Thultanthar and installed a good number of upgrades, either from the research of the schematics of the Sky City that belonged to Gu Long or from the information that he researched by himself or exchanged with the members of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden.

[Beep! Connected to Thultanthar's core authority. Shadow Weave construction at 100%. Overall performance is estimated to have been raised by 37%.]

The A.I. Chip loyally sent information regarding the City of Shadows.

As long as the A.I. Chip was around, Leylin had no need to fear betrayal by Shaylin and Ilyo, even at the same time.

With the Floating City Thultanthar, Leylin launched a surprise attack on the Gods that existed within the First Layer of the Baator Avernus and the Third Layer of the Baator Minauros.

Actually, there were a lot of Evil Gods that were hiding within the Baator from the other Gods because they were not allowed to set foot on the Prime Material Plane and all of these Gods were Leylin's target.

In the end, their Divine Sparks were priceless treasures, and their Divine Kingdoms could be used to support the ever-continuing growth of the Abaroth Divine Realm. Though unfortunately for the Evil Gods, the process with them was very short, as none of them could resist Leylin's might.

In the end, all of them were quickly quelled, their Divine Kingdoms assimilated by the Abaroth Divine Realm and their corpses and everything about their being harvested as his spoils of war and precious resources.

Under Borke and Azlok, the army of flame devils purged all resistance. With the descent of the floating city, the Bronze Citadel was taken over without any issues. The Pit Fiends who had been guarding the area had their heads thrown off the city walls.

Immediately after that, the Abaroth Divine Realm shined with brilliant Holy Light and Avernus started fusing into the Abaroth Divine Realm, as the Divine Realm was expanding at a frightening speed.

After the Avernus was fused into the Abaroth Divine Realm, Leylin turned his attention to the Minauros, which was already being defended by it Lord, Mammon the Lord of Greed, but even that was entirely futile.

Within just a few hours, the resistance of the Minauros was broken into the rubbles, and even the nightly Lord of the Third Hell of the Baator, Mammon the Lord of Greed was killed by Leylin and his entire being was devoured.

[Beep! Primary Body's Law of Devouring is in action. Comprehension of the Law of Greed: 100%. Divine Domain condensed: Greed.]

After hearing the prompt of the A.I. Chip, Leylin didn't stop and turned his attention to another of the Hells of the Baator.

Phlegethos.

Right now, he was having monumentum and it was the culmination of the plans that he was preparing for the whole centuries and technically speaking, there was nobody that could stop him.

Perhaps if all of the Greater Gods of the World of Gods joined their hands together with the Intermediate Gods, they would be able to break through the Dimensions and hinder his progress, perhaps even stopping him.

But he knew that such a thing was nigh impossible.

 

[Trafford]

Everybody knew that no matter the Greater Gods wanted to intervene and stop him, and no matter how much Mystra and Tyr hated him, there was also one great factor that was influencing their entire station.

Fear...

Fear of death, because even the most stupid God among them was aware that the moment they decided to intervene in the chaos that was taking place within the Baator, it would cost them a lot.

A lot of them would fall and the result was uncertain.

And Gods were inherent cowards that prized their very own lives above everything else.

***

Phlegethos

The fourth circle was the Hell that most resembled the stereotype of a fiery world of eternal damnation, filled with active volcanoes, rivers of liquid fire, molten rock, ash hills, smoking pits, unbearable heat, all wracked by tremors and earthquakes.

Even the air seemed aflame and thus Phlegethos was considered to be fire-dominant. In the World Axis view, Phlegethos was a cavern several miles below Minauros, where burning lava poured out of fissures in the ceiling.

The city of Abriymoch was the seat of power in this realm, built of hardened magma, obsidian, and crystal in the caldera of an extinct volcano, which provided visitors some protection from the elemental environment found throughout the rest of the Plane.

And as everyone was doing what they were doing, suddenly space cracked all around the Phlegethos, as the entire Fourth Layer of the Baator was under attack of Abaroth Divine Realm as Thultanthar appeared above the skies of the Phlegethos's capital, Abriymoch.

At the moment of the appearance, Thultanthar fired its main weapon systems at the capital of the Phlegethos, which was blocked at the last moment by the Hell Lord of the Phlegethos Samuel.

Unfortunately for the Hell Lord, the power behind the Floating City that was now being powered by the entire Abaroth Divine Realm was too much for one of the Hell Lords to handle, as he crushed into the city.

His crash decimated almost one-third of the city as Leylin instantly teleported in front of the fallen Hell Lord, piercing through his heart with his sword, killing another of the Lords of the Baator at the moment.

He knew that to fulfill the Primordial Contract with the Father of All Devils, he would need to obtain the Bloodline Source of the Archdevil Species and that was in the hands of the first-ever Archdevils that was born in the Baator of the World of Gods.

Asmodeus.

[Beep! Primary Body's Law of Devouring is in action. Comprehension of the Law of Wrath: 100%. Divine Domain condensed: Wrath.]

He obtained another Law that would be essential to his True Body.

Immediately, the process that took place at the Avernus and Minauros repeated as another Layer of the Baator was assimilated into that of the Abaroth Divine Realm. The rest of the Archdevils were already scrambling because now, they felt true fear.

At the same time, during which Leylin personally attacked the Fourth Layer of the Baator, the same portals opened around the Fifth Layer of the Baator Stygia that was ruled by the Hag Countess.

The attack was led by Azlok and Borke, whose power now reached the high ends of the Rank 7, mainly due to the empowerment from the Abaroth Divine Realm.

The Hag Countess wasn't really powerful among the Archdevils that ruled the Baator; she wasn't really combatant but more of a schemer...

However, that was the worst thing right now because she couldn't really protect her territories against the ferocious attacks of the Devils and Devil Hunters that were flooding into the Fith Layer of the Baator.

All of the soldiers were bearing the standard of the Heavenly Serpent Church and that of the Holy Nāgarāja as they were slaughtering the forces of the Hag Countess one by one...

***

9th Layer of the Baator, Nessus

Asmodeus was the Overlord of the Nine Hells of the Baator, holder of the Primordial Contract of the Baator and that of the Bloodline Source of the Archdevil Species.

After he was severely injured by the Origin Force when he attempted to intervene in Leylin's Apotheosis, he returned back to the Nessus.

Asmodeus's true form was that of a scaled serpent hundreds of miles long, his acid-black blood, a substance beyond foul, exuding from eons-old wounds. His form's sheer size made it impossible for him to meet and enter into conversations with others, and so he created humanoid-looking avatars.

He never showed himself except through avatars or highly advanced project image spells, both in humanoid forms. An avatar of Asmodeus was handsome, charismatic and captivating on the surface, appearing as a slim, red-skinned humanoid over 4 meters tall with a horned head, glowing red eyes and a perfectly trimmed beard.

He wore red and black clothing valuable enough to cover the annual spending of any nation, but underneath these expensive garments, his body was wracked with bleeding injuries he was seemingly unconcerned by

Asmodeus observed the happenings in the Baator with utter rage, as another Layer of the Baator was merged into the Abaroth Divine Realm when the Stygia fell, and the Hag Countess was killed.

This was already the fifth and Asmodeus knew that even despite his injuries, he needed to act personally, or else, nothing would remain from his Baator. And by what he saw, Leylin was already advancing on the Sixth Layer of the Baator Malbolge.

As cunning old Archdevil he was, he then activated all of the failsaves to heal himself in record time, using every precious treasure that he gathered so he was combat-ready.

He was able to heal himself to a great degree and used the power of the Baator, or at least that what was remaining from it, as he then left the Nessus for the Malbolge to ambush the invader to his enemy.

And the moment Asmodeus left the safe premises of the Nessus, he was instantly hit by a beam of some weird energy that shot him down. In a split of a second, the entire space was sealed, as Asmodues realized that he was trapped.

It didn't take long for the old Archdevil to realize that this was all part of the plan and it was a trap.

 

[Trafford]

When Asmodeus looked at his attacker, he noticed that it was a dragon, which was most interesting as all the Dragons that reached this Level had already been killed long ago or were in deep slumber, not caring about the affairs of the world.

Even though Asmodeus was grievously injured not long ago, he managed to heal himself a lot to be combat-ready because he could continue watching Baator being assímialted into that monstrosity of Realm that was created by the Leylin Farlier.

Asmodeus knew that the Demigod that became the Hell Lord would become a problem sooner or later, but he never expected that he would present the world-ending three to the very own existence of the Baator.

Another thing that he noticed was that the entire space around him was sealed... and it was sealed in a very profound and advanced way, something that even he, with his advanced magical knowledge, wouldn't be able to break in a short time.

Aside from that, it didn't escape his sight that the place where he was sealed was somehow connected to the Farlier's ever-growing Divine Realm that was supporting the existence of the seal, so breaking through this place with force was nigh impossible.

From his experience, he knew that this was no ordinary trap and even though he saw only the dragon that kept on attacking him, his experience was telling him that there was another one that was hiding.

He also knew that negotiating was impossible because the hostility that the dragon was showing was telling everything, though, at the same time, calling it hostility was a bit far-fetched because it would be more to call it greed and how the predator would look at his prey...

Meanwhile, Gu Long opened his huge jaws once again, mobilizing his Law Godhood of Holy Destruction as the Golden Light of Holy Destruction took the shape of a ball and shot several beams of pure destructive power toward the Overlord of the Baator.

Even though Gu Long knew that Asmodeus was weakened by a great degree, as he probably hastily recovered from his injuries, he also knew that he couldn't take any chances with the Overlord of the Baator.

Someone like him was bound to have several trump cards in the fight and for him to become Overlord of the Baator showed how cunning and dangerous he was.

Aside from that, he was also fairly powerful, because his own raw power was on the peak of the Rank 8 and with the support of the Baator, he was reached some sort of Realm above the average peak Rank 8.

Due to this Gu Long was wary of Asmodeus and wanted to end the fight as soon as possible, with his intention of ripping the Archdevil Bloodline Source from his heart and taking the Primordial Contract from him.

That one would be passed to Leylin so he could finish the plan for his Divine Realm.

Golden Light of Holy Destruction ball crashed into the energy shield that was created by Asmodeus at the last moment, creating violent explosion as the shield cracked apart and Asmodeus was shot back, flying for hundreds of meters until his stabilized himself.

Looking at the dragon that attacked him, his expression grew grave, because he was aware that the attack... aware of its true nature that it wasn't pure Divinity, but something mixed.

It was like the power of the Laws of the Magi...

Modern Gods that rose after the Final War between the Magus World and the World of Gods won't really remember it, but he, who survived the Final War between the two Worlds knew this very well.

Asmodeus knew that aside from him, few other old beings from those times and the Ancient Gods that were currently slumbering nobody lived through the most chaotic and dangerous times of the World of Gods.

Now the gears in his head started working bit by bit... and he came into terryfing conclusion when everything started making sense to him.

But alas... it was too late and he was within the isolated place, where it was impossible for him to send message to anyone on the outside. That was something that Witch Queen Iggwilv ensured properly.

Meanwhile Gu Long flapped his wings, flying toward the Asmodeus who enlarged his size many times, to match the size of the dragon, as the Dragon Prince of the Douluo, crashed into the enormous body of the Overlord of the Baator.

The Ancient Archdevil coughed blood, as the horns of the dragon stabbed into his flesh, causing the Archdevil enormous pain. Horns of the dragon were typically the toughest and most powerful part of their bodies, it was also one of their greatest weapons.

Smashing somebody with his enormous head and horns, was one of the safest method of causing most severe injuries, which Gu Long achieved also this time, when he managed to stab Asmodues with his horns several times over.

Instnatly he swung his tail at the Archdevil, crashing into Asmodeus with a great force, as his tail was cracking with the Golden Light of Holy Destruction of his Law Godhood of the Holy Destruction.

Not wasting any moment, Gu Long started attacking the Overlord of the Baator as much as he could, because he didn't want to give him any breathing time during the fight and finish the duel as soon as possible.

The only thing that was keeping the Golden Light of Holy Destruction from killing him instantly was the Origin Force of the Baator, that was protecting Asmodeus from the overwhelming power of the dragon prince.

But that Origin Force of the Baator was diminishing with the every moment, because Leylin's Divine Realm was eating more and more of the Baator, which in turn caused the Origin Force of the Baator getting weaker and weaker.

Through this, Asmodeus was loosing the greatest advantage that he had in this combat, which was the Origin Force of the Baator, something that was capable of blocking even the Law Godhood of the Holy Destruction.

 

[Trafford]

The Bloodline Source of the Archdevil species was pivotal for his father's ascension toward the Primarchy and reaching Tier 13. The moment it happened, he would become Universe Master, and the Kadath Universe wouldn't have to fear any foreign invasion.

With the Universe Master on the side of the Kadath Universe, the possibility of the Kadath Universe being invited by another Universe was very low because not a lot of people and factions would attack a Universe that had the Universe Master ruling it...

Most of the factions that were attacking different Universes were either the Void Insects or the Fiends of the Infinite Abyss Universe and a few others, but they generally avoided very strong Universes for obvious reasons.

Gu Long observed the Archdevil, who was now having very serious problems when it came to protecting himself from the Law Godhood of the Holy Destruction, as it was proving to be impossible when another Layer of the Baator fell to the Leylin's Divine Realm.

Due to Iggwilv sealing this entire place, Asmodeus couldn't really escape, as Gu Long's humongous dragon form tore the Archdevil apart, granting him a very painful and slow death as he perished at the hands of the Dragon Prince.

With the death of the Asmodeus, the entire Will of the Baator returned at once to the neutral like standing and stopped resisting the advance of Leylin's forces as the Origin Force of the Baator that was resisting the Divine Realm of Leylin Farlier dispersed back into the core of the Baator.

Meanwhile, the will of other Archdevils lost their will to fight the moment they realized that the Origin Force of the Baator wasn't responding to them and that the Overlord of the Baator was dead.

The sealing space collapsed as Gu Long collected the body of the Asmodeus, while several moments later, Leylin appeared on the place where Gu Long and Iggwilv were floating and looked at the thing that Dragon Prince was holding in his right hand.

It was a small object with the appearance of a scroll that was radiating the Primordial Essence of the Baator.

"The contract you had with my father has been now fulfilled..."

Gu Long threw Leylin the Primordial Contract of the Baator, which basically made someone ruler of the Baator, as Leylin instantly bound it to himself and his Divine Realm, swallowing the entirety of the Baator in one moment.

"So it is done..."

Leylin then opened his eyes as he muttered, feeling very satisfied with the end of the contract, because he indeed obtained a lot from it. With the contract and the membership in the Longinus Dreizhen Orden, he managed to reach the heights that he had never dreamed about before.

"I will send the corpse of Asmodeus with the Archdevil Bloodline Source to my father, though I will remain here... there are still a lot of tasty Gods to hunt..."

Gu Long said with a grin because he wanted to remain in the World of the Gods for the time being, as there were a lot of Gods that he could kill and devour to increase his own power.

The Final War between the Magus World and the World of Gods would be the most suitable event to increase his strength as much as possible. With the Law Godhood of Devouring, he felt confident of increasing his power to Tier 11; after that, he could safely return to the Kadath Universe.

"Having you two powerhouses of your caliber would be only helpful to our cause..."

Leylin was in fact very glad that Gu Long and Iggwilv decided to remain in this Universe and not returning back to the Kadath Universe. He knew that when the Final War erupted, while the Gods were the main enemies, there were several other threats out there.

The first were the Ancient Gods that survived the last Final War between the Magus World and World of Gods and the second were other ambitious Magi that wanted to gain as many benefits as possible.

The Ancient Gods were all very powerful Peak Rank 8 beings, some of them were even reaching the level of the Half-Step Rank 9 and the same could be said about several of the Ancient Magi like Mother Core, who was far more powerful than she was showing on the outside.

Leylin was greatly suspicious about these uncertain entities and how they would influence the Final War, because all of them were eyeing the advance to the Rank 9. Even though the Magi were all allies against the Gods, it was no secret that when it came to it, they would each choose their own interests.

So there wasn't any kind of eternal alliance or anything, just a bunch of Magi getting together to ensure their own benefits. In no word, they were allies, though some of them were creating their own blocks among the Magi or different kinds of relationships...

It also wasn't out of the question that some Magi may or may not, probably may attack him the moment they found out how much benefits he got from the World of Gods or if somehow they discovered his method of the Law Godhood.

With Gu Long and Iggwilv, he would have two top-notch combatants on his side; with Gu Long's overwhelming raw power and Iggwilv's esoteric means and weird Magic, they would be able to cover each other's weak sides perfectly in the fight.

For the three of them, it was only a matter of time until they reached the peak of the Rank 8...

Gu Long only needed something to devour that would accelerate his progress and Iggwilv was standing on the same path as the Magi, albeit with minor differences.

Aside from Laws and realizing her Path, she needed to incorporate the Magic Rules into her Path, something that was proving to be challenging even for her, as that would require a lot of magical research.

Gu Long and Iggwilv wanted to make the most out of this trip, before his father forcefully recalled him back to the Kadath to assume his responsibilities as one of the higher-ups of the entire Kadath Universe...

He knew that while his father didn't really care about the happenings among the mortals and even his own descendants, he still cared very much for his children and a few of the grandchildren, as he had many descendants.

But most of them were just numbers and only the most outstanding ones were the ones that he gave his attention to.

MC POV

Kadath Universe, Higher Dimensional World of Baator, 9th Layer of Nessus, Sunset Mountain Range, Nurmengard Castle.

It has been a long time since the last time I managed to increase my power because now I sensed that I had reached some level of cap... I knew that feeling very well, like I had hit a certain wall that could not be overcome or destroyed no matter what I did...

It was hard to tell, but something around me was telling me that any increasement of power was nigh impossible without advancing to Tier 13 and becoming Primarch. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't progress without the last part of the puzzle that was missing to complete my advancement.

The fusion of the Godhood Method and Law Path into the Law Godhood was absolutely necessary for me to advance to Tier 13. But unfortunately, this was the time when the defects of the Devils of the Baator of the Kadath Universe were showing...

In the end, even I couldn't easily change the fact that the Devils of the old Astral Boundary Universe were nothing more than artificially created species. It was already a miracle among miracles that our race managed to produce several Tier 12 entities...

One of the first hurdles that every Devil needed to overcome was the one separating the Satan-Class Devils and Super-Devil Class, which was considered as breaking the first genetic constraint on their species.

My only chance was to obtain the Bloodline Source of the innate Archdevil Species that was birthed from the Universe itself and use it to patch up the missing links in my genome and incorporate it into my advancement to Tier 13.

This would not only allow me to advance to Tier 13 and become Primarch, but at the same time, I would become a true geniue Primogenitor of the Devil Species of the Kadath Universe, with each Devil having some sort of connection to me.

Even though I managed to replicate such a thing to a certain degree, it wasn't a perfect and natural connection, something that I deeply strived for and wanted to achieve at all of costs...

Though I already found at least three other ways that would allow me to achieve the Priamrchy, neither of them was as good as the first original method that I came up with.

Others were either greatly flawed, or I would need to pay a huge price, something that I wasn't really thrilled about.

So, even after millennia, the original idea was my still sole opinion for the advancement to the Tier 13.

As I was contemplating about the future, suddenly, the Tarot Card started vibrating as a small portal appeared in the middle of my laboratory and a corpse dropped out of the portal.

When I laid my eyes at the corpse, I immediately knew that it belonged to the peak Tier 10 entity, but that wasn't really that important to me... the important factor was that, my Bloodline started reacting to the corpse.

Very much reacting, very strongly and very madly...

My Bloodline wanted me to do everything in my power to devour and assimilate that of the corpse in front of me; the feeling was so strong that it started pushing out my rational thinking very fast.

"So it has been completed..."

I needed to give it my all to remain calm because I noticed that my instincts were getting way ahead of me... that wasn't really a good sign, but at the same time, I could barely hide my hide my excitement and happiness.

The Contract that I had with Leylin Farlier was finished, the moment Gu Long delivered the corpse of Asmodeus that held the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source. While I invested a lot of resources into this, it was abysmal compared to the rewards that I got in return.

This was the geniue innate Bloodline Source of the innate Archdevil Species that were born naturally in different Universe. And naturally, from the information that I got from Gu Long, Asmodeus held the Bloodline Source of their entire species...

This was even better than I expected because originally I only needed some bits of the Source; now, I got the entire Source served on the silver platter. With the whole Source, I could probably get even more power out of it, and the results would be immediate...

"I need to get into the work... after I become Primarch, we can start invading other Universes for their resources.... those without any Tier 13 entities or with very weak ones, would stand no chance against the might of the Kadath."

With a wave of my hand, several Magic Seals appeared around the corpse of the former Ovewrlord of the different Baator to preserve the corpse while I levitated it to bring it back to the ritual room.

It didn't take long for me to figure out what I would be doing with the corpse, as I needed to extract the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source from his body and similarly to that of the Void Leviathan that I got my hands on, we would be going with the same or rather similar procedure.

After I extracted and refined the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source, I couldn't assimilate it straight away, but I would need to research it for a bit to create the best method of assimilation.

To maximize all of its worth...

Only after that would I devise a plan of assimialting the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source and then the last part would be the fusion of the Godhood Method and Law Path into the Law Godhood.

Contrary to Hela or several of my descendants, I would be merging everything into one, creating only one Law Godhood that would encompass everything that I was, everything that I am and everything that I would ever be.

Extracting the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source from the corpse of the Asmodeus was rather an easy thing because I had already done the process several times and even once on the Half-Step Tier 13 Void Leviathan.

Due to this experience with extracting and refining the Bloodlines, I was able to quickly finish the entire process very fast, or rather as fast as it could be done, without any complications or rushing the matter.

 

[Trafford]

It took me several hours to perfectly extract the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source from the corpse of Asmodeus because I needed to thread it carefully.

The next step, after extracting the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source, was to research the Genome and its Genetic Sequence.

Afterward, I will compare it with the Genetic Sequence of the Devil Species of the Astral Boundary that were now living in the Higher Dimensional World of the Baator and create a plan to fill the gaps of what was missing in the Genetic Sequence.

After the gaps were filled, it would make several immediate changes; one of the most notable was that there wouldn't be any hurdle between the Satan-Class and Super-Devil Class as it was in the past or as it is right now.

Aside from that, Devils would be considered as the Innate Species, with technically speaking, an unknown limit in the Tier, probably the innate Tier would probably be raised to Tier 12 without any external help.

Something that was impossible right now because all Devils that reached Tier 12 did so with the external factors in play. Be it help from the higher-Tiered powerhouses, artifacts, treatues, Miracles or whatever was on the table.

Presently, the Nurmengard was rather empty with only Hela being in the place as my other wives went out from time to time. Aside from a few servants in the Nurmengard, the entire castle in the Sunset Mountain Range was empty.

Venelana and Grayfia went to the Anor Londo to check out on things, while Hela was right now observing the Xenomorph Breeding Farm.

Since the situation in the former Primal Chaos Dimension Universe was resolved and all high-Tiered cultivators were killed, the Xenomorph Breeding Farm took place, and the Xenomorphs were already reproducing at a staggering rate.

The speed was so ridiculous that we had already started harvesting them for the resources, which was indeed proving to be as profitable and beneficial as Hela was telling me back then...

The resources that were brought back from the Xenomorphs were precious; their entire bodies were one enormous treasure trove and that wasn't even talking about the most precious part of their corpse, which was the Psionic Crystal that was in their brain.

The research of the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source was coming slower than initially expected...

When I first started looking into the Genetic Sequences of the Archdevils that got, it seemed simple and easy, but after examining it several times with most advanced Magic and Magitek, the results were mixed...

The thing was that... it seemed that the Archdevils that were born naturally had a lot of unexplored potential and their Genetic Sequence was actually tremendous and it seemed that their species was rather undeveloped...

From the initial experiments, I created a clone based on the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source and essentially cultivated it to Tier 11.

Only then did I find the reason why...

It seemed that only after reaching Tier 11 or in their own Universe, Rank 9, the Archdevil Species was able to unleash their full potential. Unfortunately, all of the Archdevils in the World of Gods were at Tier 10 in their own words, Rank 8...

So none of them managed to unlock their potential, but Asmodeus was more capable and smarter than the rest and he basically tied the Source of their entire Species to himself, as he was the first ever Archdevil to be born from the Baator itself.

This allowed Asmodeus to unlock more from his Genetic Sequence and attain greater power, reaching the Half-Step Rank 9 under certain conditions. If he wasn't so foolish to attack Leylin during his Apotheosis and be injured by the Origin Force...

Then, the entire fight against Gu Long wouldn't be that easy.

"It seems that more research and experimentation with the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source to utilize it properly..."

I muttered as I continued my research... it was a long time since I felt the excitement from researching something this interesting and entertaining.

***

Several months later, Nurmengard, 9th Layer of the Higher Dimensional World of Baator, Nessus, Sunset Mountain Range.

Researching the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source for several months brought the wanted results.

After experimenting with it for some time, and creating more clones with the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source and observing their growth from Tier 0 to Tier 11 proved to be most effective.

After I gathered enough data on the behavior of the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source within the clones, I started the last phase of the experiment. That was to create a homunculus with my very own Genome as the base and insert the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source.

This part took several months and utilization of research capacity not only mine but also other top-ranking scholars and scientists of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator, including Ajuka and Mephisto who were helping me in the project.

I wanted to observe how the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source would react to merging with my own Genome and the results were astounding.

Even right from the start, the compatibility between the two were almost reaching 100%, so I came to the conclusion that the usage of the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source was absolutely safe.

I needed to be sure... rather be safe than sorry...

These experiments also revealed where the flaws in my own Genome were... where the flaws in the Devil Race were, not only the ones that I discovered during the ten millennia of life, but even new ones appeared during the experimentation with the clones.

"After the final tests, I can use the procedure..."

The thing needed to be meticulously planned through a combination of the Magitek and Magic Rituals to incorporate the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source into my Genome, with the subsequent changes that would happen to the entire species.

After the operation was done, I could start the ascendance towards the Primarchy and then become the Universe Master in one go...

The Universal conquest of the different Universes was inevitable... especially those that had Gods in them, because for the past millennia, many people embarked on the Godhood Method within the Chthonian Empire.

Due to the Chthonian's innate disdain towards the worship, the Godhood Method represented the best method of being the God that wasn't a God, as we have deconstructed the idea and concept of the God a long time ago.

In the end, Gods of various Paths and Methods were just more advanced Lifeforms and nothing more.

 

[Trafford]

Unknown Location, Heart of the Universe

Every Universe has its own... we can call it heart.

It was the Source of the entire Universe, the real heart that was dictating the fundamental existence of the Universe. If it was destroyed, then the only fate awaiting the Universe was destruction as it would crumble apart.

Naturally, to access the Source or the Heart of the Universe, one needed to not only have the necessary power and special means but also the approval of the Universe itself, something that I had, as I technically speaking, created this Universe.

And I was already something akin to a pseudo-Univese Master due to my control over the Higher Dimensional World of Baator, but it wasn't like being a geniue Universe Master that was also a Tier 13 Primarch.

Everything was prepared...

I reached the Origin Level of Control in all Laws that were creating my Path and increased my Higher Dimensional Energy Stardust to the limits that my being on the Existence Level could bear.

Now the last remaining part of the puzzle was missing that would also start the Apotheosis towards the Primarchy.

"Is the device ready?"

Architect as my Soul-Bound A.I. developed to the peak Tier 12 and basically controlled every single machine within not only the Higher Dimensional World of Baator but also the majority of the Kadath Universe.

If he didn't control it, then it was at least under his observation, as nothing espcaed his watchful eye.

"Yes. The Cube is prepared with the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source and Ritual is in place; with the support from the Source, we can start the procedure."

This wasn't just me becoming "complete", but it would affect the entire species that was in the Kadath Universe; thus, it must be completed with the utmost caution and perfection on our side.

The Cube was the specifically developed Magitek Device to manipulate the Genome of even beings at Tier 12. It was a combination of the pinnacle Arcanotek of the Chthonian Empire and various technologies that we collected through the Endless Void.

Not to mention of even a few obscure Magics that are beyond the current understanding of most people within the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.

It was created to edit the Genome on the highest degree of genetic manipulation, to be even able to affect beings as strong as me and there was nothing better and more suitable to transplant Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source into my own Genome.

"Then we can start..."

I said and activated the Cube, which then lit up with several strange patterns surrounding the Cube and the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source was being activated with the Magitek Device.

The Cube itself for this operation was being powered up by the Heart of the Universe because, realistically speaking, only that thing had enough power to support such things as editing the fundamental existence of the Limit Half-Step Tier 12 powerhouse...

The moment the Cube was activated, several biomechanical needles appeared from it, as they pierced through my arms, legs and several of them through my heart, and then the real thing started, as I closed my eyes and let the thing do its job.

The changes were immediate, as I could observe that my Genetic Sequence was being rewritten and changed.

Being powered up by the Energy of the entire Kadath Universe itself and with the Source Energy itself, the most pure and powerful Energy in the entire Endless Void, the process was very smooth.

All of the empty spaces and the flaws within my Genetic Sequence were being filled and repaired.

At the same time, I felt that the imaginary shackles that were around me were completely destroyed with the addition of the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source into the Genetic Sequence.

[Genetic Sequence has been adjusted.]

[Host's Genetic Sequence has been evolved.]

[The Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source has been fully incorporated into the Host's Genome.]

[Racial Evolution to the Arch God-Devil Hybrid has been successful.]

Hearing a few sentences from the Architect, I knew that the change was finished and it went on pretty fast; in the end, the only thing that was needed to be done was patching up a few flaws that were within the Devil Race as they were artificially created.

The moment The Cube inserted the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source into my Genetic Sequence, it was quickly repaired and done; now I can break through to the Primarchy, as the only thing that was remaining was to merge the Paths together with my Origin to create Aspect.

But I wanted to rest for some time before breaking through to Tier 13 and, achieving Primarchy and making some preparations. Not to mention, a lot of Source Energy was consumed by the Universe itself to support the procedure.

But that was already to be expected because while the procedure was quickly finished, the energy output would be enough to destroy a few smaller Universes.

 

[Trafford]

A few weeks later, Heart of the Universe.

Because the Tier 12 powerhouses of the Kadath Universe were tasked with the maintenance of the Universe itself, it led to tremendous savings for the Universe's Will in terms of the Source Energy.

With enough Source Energy, more and more treasures could be born within the Kadath Universe and it was more common for the geniuses to appear. Basically, the Source Energy was the thing that was most crucial for the strength of the Universe.

Due to the Universe Will not spending any Source Energy on maintaining the Universe itself, like fixing the space after fights or other similar things, it recovered very fast and it meant that I could start the final phase of my long plan.

The Source Energy was an imperative thing in the breakthrough to the Primarchy...

In truth, I didn't really know how to feel about this, because there was a certain possibility that this was the time when my Path was ending. There was no certainty that I would reach the Paragon Tier...

Comprehending the Concept was no easy matter... because it wasn't as simple as comprehending the Laws or even the Aspect of the Universe, but Concepts were different...

That was the reason why there were only a few tens of Paragons across the Endless Void of Reality from the times immemorial.

It was too hard and there could be only one person with the Concept that is Paragon. If there is another person attempting to comprehend the Concept that already has Paragon, it was futile because the endgame of that was becoming one with the Concept, but if the Paragon was born, then it was impossible.

The sole way was to kill the Paragon and take the Concept from him, but that was nigh impossible for even the strongest Universe Masters because the Paragon could destroy even the biggest Universes with a wave of their hand.

But I was also aware that my chances of becoming Paragon were pretty good...

There wasn't Paragon with the Concept of Ruination, since the last one was killed by the leader of the Void Association personally to the degree of his very own Concept being shattered.

From what I gathered, there were several rather serious contestants who were eying the position of the Paragon of Ruination since the Void Singularity shattered the Concept of the last Paragon Ruination.

A feat that permanently killed even the most powerful Conceptual Entities like Paragon and a feat that only Singularities could achieve, as they were entirely detached from reality itself; that was the true transcendence that everyone sought with all of their power.

Now that I obtained the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Origin Source and also obtained enough data on the fusion between the Law Pand Godhood Method, I could safely initiate the process by myself.

I already fulfilled all the criteria, so the only remaining one was the merger the Paths.

[Source Seals has been activated.]

[The Apotheosis process has started.]

[Host's Law Path: The End is reacting.]

[Host's Godhood of Faher of All Devils is reacting.]

[Host's Godhood of Ruination is reacting.]

[Hosts's Godhood of the God of Baator is reacting.]

I closed my eyes as I let the pure Source Energy enter into my body and started the procedure of merging the two Paths together. The entire Kadath Universe was feeling my breakthrough as it was awaiting it to happen.

When ascending to the Primarch, one needed to fulfill essentially three conditions.

One of them was to fuse with the Sefirot, which I had already done, not only one but in fact I had three of them.

Architect, who, while autonomous en large, was in fact Sefirot on himself, then The Tarot Cards as I was the ultimate controller and master of them and Atiesh, the Sefirot that I created personally.

The second condition was that one needed to obtain the Aspect of the Universe, something that I obtained long ago when I got it from the Kadath Universe itself.

And the third condition was that one needed to obtain a Higher Form of Energy, something that I, too, fullfilled.

Even though I completed all conditions to advance into the Primarchy, due to flaws in my Genome and inability to merge my Paths, I wasn't able to advance into Tier 13.

Something that would change today.

Considering the amount of data that I had on the Law of Godhood, creating my own Godhood was a very easy task, especially with my mastery over the existing Laws, Path and Godhoods.

Soon enough, my Path The End started merging together with the Godhoods of the Father of All Devils, Ruination and God of the Baator into one, entirely new entity. I wanted to create one ultimate Law Godhood by combining everything that I was into it.

At the same time, the process of merging the Paths was going on; Racial Evolution was also taking place. This wasn't just a simple breakthroéugh, but this was a really, advanced change on the very fundamental level, where one was transcending his own Universe.

Tier 13 beings could destroy entire Universes with relative ease...

[The Law Godhood: Primogenitus of the End and Ruin has been created by merging the Path of the End and Godhoods of Father of All Devils, Ruination and God of Baator.]

[Detecting the influence of the former Godhood God of the Baator, detecting...]

[Activnating the procedure.]

[Heart of the Universe of the Kadath Universe is merging with the Host.]

In a split of a moment, I felt an overwhelming energy enter my body and terrifying consciousness descend onto me, as it started dissipating into my very own being, becoming part of the Law Godhood: Primogenitus of the End and Ruin.

I could sense that I was already becoming something different the moment I started fusing with the Universe Will itself and becoming the Universe Master. This was an even greater feeling compared to what I had experienced several moments ago when I officially reached the Primarchy.

Being a Universe Master meant one was one with the entire Universe; the stronger the Universe got, the better for me, as I would be able to draw out more power out of it. Not to mention with the increasing strength of the Universe it would be harder to destroy.

Ensuring my surivavibility.

 

[Trafford]

Slowly but steadily, the process ended as I opened my eyes and tried to reign in the overwhelming amount of Stardust Energy that my body was holding now that I had achieved my breakthrough to the Primarchy.

I could see that it had increased something above 20 times or more; the sheer amount of raw power that I commanded was utterly ridiculous, but now at least, I understood why all the Tier 13 beings were so feared.

Just this bit of power was enough to end the entire Universe, and this wasn't counting my state as the Universe Master, where I could draw theoretically endless power from the Kadath Universe itself under certain conditions.

It was a very addicting feeling, such a great power...

Now, I felt that I could probably destroy the entire Kadath Universe or Universe with similar size and properties with a few attacks. This, on the other hand, also gave me a bit of fright because I needed to strengthen the Universe as much as possible.

If someone attacked my Universe and destroyed the Kadath Universe, then I would loose my biggest trump card and even suffer some backslash because I was one with the Universe, so the destruction of it would cause me some injuries to my Soul.

I also noticed that I underwent rather significant Racial Evolution, albeit my new race could still be considered as only juvenile, so there were no additional racial abilities for me, but it seemed that all of my Bloodlines and other things merged so perfectly that it created a new being...

And the abomination of being...

An Eldritch Abominaiton at that...

In truth I found the evolution rather fitting that of my Path and way of doing things. In the end, the Eldritch Creatures were the beings that were feeding on the souls, lifeforce or even entire worlds and civilization.

They were the bringers of the Doom, harvesters of the civilization that brought the Apocalypse to the entire worlds and even Universes. The ultimate form of Ruination, Destruction and Death.

Such was the fundamental nature of the Eldritch Beings, so the fact that I evolved tito the one of them was only fitting that of my entire life.

Nothing that I saw within the newest Architect's scans really surprised me, aside from the evolution of my Origin to that of the Law Godhood. Basically, the Origin and Law Godhood were now the same thing.

All of them were the Primogenitus of the End and Ruin.

The Stardust Energy Reservs that I had access to skyrocketed to the stagerring 1,000, which wasn't that surprising, considering the might of the average Tier 13 entity in the Endless Void.

And this was only the start because I have just broken through; after I stabilized my strength and power, I calculated that my power would at least double within the next hundreds of years after the breakthrough.

However, after that, any increasement in power would take countless years because for the Tier 13 to increase their power through conventional means was a very, very lengthy and hard process.

So most of them either depend on the comprehension of Concpets to increase their combat prowess. Naturally, the Universe Masters had another way of growing their power and that was through cultivation of their very own Universe.

That was the safest way for them to grow strong.

Something that I too, planned after I stabilized my power and used all the resources we had to cultivate the Grand Army of Kadath, which would be tasked with invasion and conquests of the surrounding Universes that were without protection.

The Kadath Universe was located in the Outer Rim of the Endless Void, that was created through the continuous expansion of the Endless Void of Reality only few hundred Epochs ago.

The precise location of the Kadath Universe was actually on the borders of the Outer Rim and Unknown Regions of the Endless Void. This means all Universes in the vicinity of the Kadath Universe were very weak and there were not many Primarchs around here.

Actually, it would be rare if they were, as most of them were closer to the Reality's Core within the Core Rim of the Endless Void. The chances that we would encounter significant resistance was low and during a few previous incursions into a few of the weakest Universes around already proved that.

But I needed to evolve the Kadath Universe into the High Universe, a special type of Universe that couldn't be easily destroyed even by the most powerful of the Primarchs as only Paragons had ability to destroy the High Universe.

However that was still in the far future, right now, I needed to stabilize my power after the breakthrough before we could start anything else. Not to mention, now that I have reached the Primarch and became the Universe Master I could help other people reach even Tier 12.

Of course, this didn't come without the price, as that one was steep, but it was still nothing to the gains that I could obtain from it. From my wives, Venelana, Grayfia and Bibi Dong were still stuck at the peak Tier 11.

And truthfully... they would be there for the rest of there for an eternity until they had some really good heaven-defying fortunate encounter.

This was just their limit...

Though now, with my Primarchy and becoming Universe Master I could break it and raise their foundation allowing them to reach the Tier 12 with ease.

 

[Trafford]

As simple as it could get...

That was also one of the reasons why the High Universes, Cosmoses and Holy Lands were such frightening places. Their owners could forcibly raise people to the higher Tiers or increase their limitations.

However, nobody could match the three Holy Lands of the Void Association, the Holy City, and the Sage Dynasty and their Holy Lands, where they resisted. There, even the Tier 12 entities were common as clouds, and Primarchs were a common sight.

Even the Quasi-Paragons were sight in those places because the Holy Lands were rather special places that allowed one to imitate the Concept, making such a person stronger than a peak Primarch but still weaker than a geniue Paragon.

But for the Singularities, there was nothing that was impossibl,e and they could do as they wished.

Now that I have reached the Primarchy and become the Universe Master, I can control every single aspect of the Kadath Universe and command the Source Energy of the Universe as I wish.

With my ascension, a new Golden Age of the Kadath Universe would be ushered, and I could instantly start applying the changes. As long as the Universe had enough Source Energy, then I could practically do everything that I wished...

The first thing that I did was tremendous increasement of quality in the Higher Dimensional World of Baator, to a degree where reaching Tier 8 would be just considered a starting point.

In the end, Baator was my homeplace, and it was the world where I was born, or rather the Underworld was the place where I was born and I would always prioritize the place, as it was my foundation.

It was also the place where I met Vena and Fia, holding a very special place in my heart.

At the same time, I also sent some Source Energy to upgrade the Divine Realm in the Douluo Principal World. The Divine Realm of the Douluo Principal World was the second strongest plane within the Kadath Universe.

It was the dwelling of my two other wives, Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena, so it was only respectable that I would give some of the Source Energy towards the place.

Aside from this, I released some of the Source Energy into the Universe, especially towards the lesser worlds, to accelerate their development because there may be some nice surprises waiting for us.

The Kadath Universe was still small, and there were not many worlds with life within it...

That one would require a lot of time and development for intelligent species to be born within the Kadath Universe and to development where they could be of some use and not just be harvested for resources.

The Kadath Universe would need a lot of time before it could embark on the path of full-fledged conquest of different Universes. Though I had more than enough time to do so now that I had become the Primarch, there were very few things to fear...

***

Kadath Universe, Higher Dimensional World of Baator, 9th Layer of Nessus, Nurmengard.

Across the entire Kadath Unvierse, all powerhouses felt the changes that happened to the Universe and also the fact that somebody reached the Primarchy. Practically everyone who was at Tier 11 and even above felt my breakthrough.

When I teleported back tot he Nurmengard, I noticed that Hela immediately returned back to the Baator the moment she sensed that I started my Apotheosis.

"It seems that you have succeeded..."

Hela muttered as she laid her eyes on me.

"Yes... Gu Long succeeded in his mission and brought back the Innate Archdevil Bloodline Source and I managed to perfect the Devil Species and initiate the Apotheosis procedure towards the Primarchy... now at the Primarchy, I merged with the Universe, becoming the Universe Master, with this the Kadath Universe is safe from the possible intrusion and enemies."

Hela smiled brightly at this revelation because she knew that this would result in the greater carnage and era of wars that were to come. I knew what she was thinking about because she was still the same, no matter how many millennia had passed.

"Recall back Venelana and Grayfia; now that I have reached the Primarchy, I could raise their talent and help them to reach Tier 12."

If he had enough Source Energy, nothing was impossible for the Universe Master because, with Source Energy as the most primal type of energy across the Endless Void of Relaities, nothing was impossible.

Hela simply nodded her head, as she knew the wonders of the Universe Master and the Source Energy and what she could achieve with it. That was the reason why the position of the Universe Master was so coveted by even some of the Paragons.

Becoming Universe Master wasn't as simple as it seemed because one either needed to obtain the approval of the Universe Will or to cultivate the Universe from scratch, but those things were far easier said than done.

Not to mention, many of the most powerful Paragosn were Universe Masters themselves because that meant that they had access to the Source Energy in an almost endless manner if handled correctly.

"When shall you fuse the Xenomorph Dimension into the Kadath?"

Hela asked me, as this was also needed to be done.

Aside from the most obvious benefits of having direct access and control over the Xenomorph Dimension as it would be part of the Kadath Universe.

And the secondary effect would be the direct growth of the Kadath Universe as the Kadath Unvierse would get much stronger if the Xenomorph Dimension got incorporated into the Kadath Universe...

The previous Primal Chaos Dimension Universe wasn't the biggest or strongest, but at the same time, it was also properly developed and had some unique particularities that would be greatly nutritious for the Kadath Universe.

"Soon... now the Universe needs a bit of stabilization; afterward, I can start the merger process, though I can see that the Kadath Universe needs a certain degree of restructualization..."

I muttered, already thinking about how I should stylize the Kadath Universe.

 

[Trafford]

Several weeks have passed since I reached the Primarchy; I spent most of the time empowering, growing, and strengthening the Kadath Universe, which took a lot of effort because it required me to manipulate the Source Energy directly.

Since becoming the Unvierse Master, I could control every single aspect of the Kadath Universe, which was coming together nicely as the Kadath Universe started growing at an exponential rate.

This wasn't anything surprising because the moment the Source Energy got its controller, I could manipulate every single bit of the Source Energy. For the time being, I directed most of the Source Energy toward the Higher Dimensional World of Baator.

Then it was also the Douluo Principality World that was getting the increased amount of the Source Energy, causing the powerhouses of the Douluo to grow in strength at a very fast rate.

Even in the Higher Dimensional World of Baator, the results were almost immediate, as everyone received the effect of the increased Source Energy that was right now flowing into every single layer of the Baator.

This caused tremendous growth in the population because countless Baatorias were able to reach the peak of Tier 8 almost instantaneously or those that were stuck at the Limit of Tier 8 before the Being of Law.

"Now, to decide the next matters..."

Venelana and Grayfia returned back to the Baator, not long after my breakthrough into the Primarchy. In regard to them, both of them were stuck at the peak of Tier 11 for a long time already and it was clear to both of them that they couldn't really break through the reaming hurdle.

In the end, the sole thing that they could do was to depend on me to use the Source Energy to help them make the breakthrough to Tier 12. In fact, Bibi Dong was in a rather similar situation, but she still had some unused potential.

So her procedure would be a bit different, as that one would just increase her talent and perfect her own strength so that she could reach Tier 12 with Source Energy. Grayfia and Venelana, meanwhile already used all of their potential...

"After we finish eating, I will give you the Enhancement of the Source Energy."

The Enhancement of the Source Energy would be enough for both Fia and Vena to reach Tier 12, as they were already on the absolute limits of Tier 11, but due to lack of talent, they couldn't create their Arcane Crest from their Path.

Technically speaking, this would probably be the last Tier they could reach, because the moment I raised their Tier with the external factors, the sole chance for both of them attaining the Primarchy was null on their own.

They could have some luck and attain the Primarchy through external factors, but for that, it would require a tremendous amount of luck and coincidence. Still, both Vena and Fia were content with this, because for them, reaching Tier 12 was already the best they could achieve.

With all of the resources that the Imperial House had in their disposition, they would be able to reach the Limits of the Tiere 12 in a few thousand years. After that, I already counted on that I would already be Paragon and could gather some precious natural wonders of the Endless Void for them to reach Tier 13.

Perhaps I could even get them some Universe for them to become the Universe Master... I heard from some of the channels that some of the more powerful Universe Masters could miniature the Universes and hide them in their souls, always having them with them.

Meaning that nobody could really destroy their Universe and get rid of their Immortality.

This would probably be the best method to ensure the Immortality of my wives. Immortality was a flicky thing because there was nothing that was truly Immortal in the endless reality, as even Universe Masters or even Paragons could be killed under certain conditions.

But at the same time, some people were just being much, much harder to kill than the rest.

And the Universe Masters and Paragons were standing on the top of that.

"As you wish, beloved."

Grayfia nodded without saying anything and Venelana joyfully replied for both of them.

She herself was long ago having some doubts that she was not strong enough; she was always very conscious about that, not like she would ever tell me... but I was pretty observant when it came to my wives, and I knew them very well...

"Before anything, after you undergo the Enhancement of the Source Energy, you will need to start constructing your Arcane Crest immediately. The Source Energy as long as it is controlled by me, will make the impossible possible, so you will have approximately one hour, to construct your Arcane Crests and reach Tier 12."

This wasn't everything that I prepared for them for their breakthrough, but I also had some really exotic materials for them to use in their Arcane Crests, which will give them an edge among other Tier 12 beings.

For Grayfia, I managed to obtain the Nifilian Ice Cube, a primal artifact that was able to freeze even ordinary Tier 12 beings into a block of ice in a mere moment; this would be very well going with her Path, which was of the Fimbulvetr.

Annihilation of Ice.

Obtained from the coldest depths of the Endless Void, where even Tiem and Space were frozen and were even mighty Primarchs would be frozen to death.

For Venelana, I managed to get my hands on the Eye of Destruction, which was another peculiarity that could be found through the Endless Void. This little thing was responsible for the generation of storms of the Destruction Energires that were capable of destroying the entire Universe.

With this, as long as they reached the Limit of Tier 12 and managed to become the Half-Step Tier 13, they would have combat prowess comparable to initial Priamrchs, which would be already more than enough.
