Mother Spirit of Purgatory is used as a tool by the realm’s consciousness to refine its source of energy. Even the realm’s consciousness appeared to have suffered a heavy blow and descended into a deep slumber together with the Mother Spirit of Purgatory it’s still functioning properly. It’s the source of all living beings born on this world.
Yet, at this instant, it seemed to have perceived a very dangerous premonition from a terrifying being and started to slowly awaken and unleash its potential. This is the instinctual defence mechanism of the realm consciousness try to protect its intrest but unfortunately years of being plundered of its origin force by various dignitaries as well as the impact from the previous collison it’s activation was very difficult giving Leylin a once in a lifetime chance.
‘Although I am no match for the World in a one on one confrontation and it would be tantamount of courting death by acting greedily but the World Will is at its weakest and I won’t cause a irresolvable harm either. I just need a part of its essence and once I reached the limit of its patience I would withdraw immediately.’ Leylin decided in his head at a lighting speed as he started to make a move. If he were to really steal a lot of essence from the Mother Spirit of Purgatory then let alone the World Will the dignitaries won’t sit back either.
“Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, Lighting, Darkness—Chaos Divine Fist!”
Thump!
Huge fists appeared and directly penetrated the passageway of chaos built to baptise Freya. They revealed a meat ball that resembled a placenta encompassed by cyan light.
“This is….the core of the Mother Spirit of Purgatory? This is also the key to its refining source…”
Leylin looked at it with a fascinated look and immediately his hands turned into a huge claw thousands of meter long as they split apart a piece.
Leylin swiftly placed the placenta in his palm, unsure of how many blood vessels and meridians were torn.
Suddenly, the meat blocks in his surroundings lost a sudden glamour loosing a part of their vitality and withered mildly. Thankfully the commotion wasn’t big and Leylin didn’t act too greedily or else a frontal attack of dozen of dignitaries along with the even more dangerous Purgatory would have followed.
At the time the World Will is muddled it obviously feels the drain in itself and have been feeling the plunder of origin force by various Rank 7s and 8s but due to it’s peculiarity it was helpless for a long time but this doesn’t mean one can act too overboard.
Leylin made an educated and calculated guess taking a sizable portion of its essence and origin force but still not something absolutely unbearable. Doing something like this is absolutely impossible in any other World let alone a big World like Purgatory but thankfully it’s odd situation gave Leylin an opportunity.
“Inside this… really does contain the source. However, it’s already in a broken and half-refined state. Unbelievable!”
The part of Mother Spirit of Purgatory suddenly rushed out as Leylin was murmuring to himself.
Kaboom!
The power of chaos accumulated and transformed into a large cyan eyes that looking down. Apparently, the heavenly will of the realm was partially awakened and regained its authority, but it’s also in an infuriated state.
“It wants to dispel me! Unbelievable it seems that the World do put their essence in higher esteem than the origin force if it was fully awake not even Rank 8 would make it back alive but… ” Leylin shook his head this type of attack can heavily injure an average Rank 7 but Leylin has never been average since the very start of his Magus Path.
After experiencing such a difficult struggle, escaping the seal with the Mother Spirit of Purgatory, it was extremely close to slowly refining the source, improving it and regaining clearance. However, upon meeting this disrupter, any will would no doubt be infuriated.
“What? You really want it?”
Leylin wasn’t afraid as he looked up at the cyan eye of the heavens, and he provocatively held up the purple placenta in his hands.
Leylin laughed loudly. “I want this placenta, but I can pass you the source inside it. Anyway, you’ve already accumulated a flesh placenta before, so you would only require a little more effort. I also want a portion of the origin energy!”
He also didn’t want to see the spectacle of the failures of both him and the realm’s consciousness.
In reality, the source is endless and having more of it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any better.
What Leylin prioritized was the method of refining the realm’s source. Hence, he must obtain this placenta.
Isn’t it normal to resort to blackmail for origin energy?
To obtain this source, one must be willing to sacrifice something.
“You must know… The power of the last offering has already been partially refined by you. Even though you don’t have a part of a placenta, the speed of refinement will be much faster once you start anew. Both of us have an unusual existence, so please decide quickly!” Leylin voice was cold. He wasn’t talking mindlessly like a fool to a muddled consciousness but used Freya as a Sacrificer to relay his intentions.
The surroundings of the cyan eyes was circled by lightning, and it carried along a sense of chaos.
Leylin looked at it and also released his powers of primordial chaos which slowly suppress the power of the realm, he again let down his offer sending a ‘special’ item towards it and after a brief stalemate reached an agreement.
In this realm, he only intended to come and harvest it only once, and he had absolutely no intention whatsoever to come here again.
Although he was truly interested in how the realm will progress after the source has been refined, he felt that he could still clearly differentiate between the relative importance of this knowledge and the placenta in his hands.
Leylin definitely didn’t want the subconscious to wreck this precious product while he was forcefully escaping.
The realm’s consciousness, on the other hand, was also visibly not able to react to it’s fullest ability due to being controlled. Hence, it could only choose to compromise.
Kaboom!
After the realm’s consciousness was fooled, by the thundering rumbles of the land and the sky, strings of energy from the source suddenly appeared.
Leylin also raised out his hand and stroked the placenta.
Instantly, the layer of purple light converged to transform into a drop of purple source, and it constantly radiated power outwards just like a crystal.
“Sure enough without it’s consent it’s not easy to steal something that belongs to the realm. I guess it was worth the effort of offering Seed Of Wisdom for this!” Leylin has actually dealt with the Purgatory by offering Seed Of Wisdom! But he obviously didn’t give it all of it only sharing a fourth of the tree, it’s because he had other uses in mind for it too.
Although the essence is extremely important for a realm, the trade of being able to achieve consciousness is also very good because it would help the Purgatory to protect it’s interest and gain stability and higher profit in a long term. Mother Spirit of Purgatory is only able to regain senses for a small time span just for the purpose of protecting itself but eventually without the consciousness of the realm, it’s power are very limited.
Through this deal Leylin got want he wanted and fooled the World Will to let him go for a price of a chance to regain wisdom. As for the event where it could actually retrieve itself from it’s muddled state later on, Leylin doesn’t care.
At that moment, before the deal when Leylin made contact with the source without any protection or defences, it brought him a severe burden. Which is only relieved as the Purgatory parted with it, obviously taking the source from it. This deal was sealed by Freya as an envoy of Purgatory hence, the exchange was rather black hearted.
*Roar—* *Wooo—* At this moment, the restrictions from the World Will dissipated, and the world resumed its movement. Along with this, the connection Freya had with the realm was also broken completely.
“It’s over, let’s deal with the little nuisance below and if you want to take someone with you collect them, we are returning.”
Numerous gluttonous beasts roared at Leylin and Freya with an air of provocation.
There was no lack of rank 6s among the beasts Beelzebub had nurtured. They had astutely sensed that if they could kill Leylin and steal his comprehension of laws, there would be a drastic transformation to their bodies.
If they were alone, they might not have dared do this. Now, however, the many gluttonous beasts turned into a horde. Leylin could be a peak rank 6 on the surface, but with the horde and many rank 6s surrounding and attacking him, there was a slight possibility of him being killed.
“Kill him!” “Kill him!” The three-headed python that was the second elder of the Stewart Family provoked the gluttonous beasts around him to advance.The earlier events had progressed too quickly, and on top of that there was a seal from the World Will. Many gluttonous beasts and even residents of the holy city were yet to react to it.
Only the rank 6s felt a sense of fear when it came to Leylin, but the hope to break through to the power of laws enticed them to take the risk.
*Roar—* The gluttonous snakes that were as enormous as mountains surrounded Leylin, accompanied by the terrifying zombified monsters.
Leylin watched the three-headed python hiding behind the berserk rank 6 beings, a slight smile on his face. Even an ordinary peak rank 6 would find trouble when attacked like this. t’s a pity though… Leylin has far passed through the realm of rank 6. The power of laws is something those without it cannot imagine.
Having nearly grasped the law of primordial chaos, Leylin had changed drastically. The immense increase in his stats reached the requirements of rank 7.
“Shut up!” Leylin merely spat out this single word while he was encircled by the many rank 6 gluttonous beasts.
In that moment, the terrifying power of laws exploded from his body, causing the world to come to a standstill once again.
*Thud!* *Thud!* There were hints of struggle in the beasts’ eyes, but their bodies automatically knelt down.
With one word, the numerous rank 6 beings bowed their heads to him. The power of laws shockingly had such an effect!
“They aren’t much useful for me, and I can’t bring them back to the Magus World either. It would be better to be used a nutrition, Freya devour them, with my law I would lock the collected energy for you to slowly digest without exploding.” Leylin gazed at the eyes of the large gluttonous beasts and shook his head.
“Really!?” Freya eyes shone brilliantly with so many Rank 6 and uncountable gluttony beasts the growth gained through the dismantling of their power won’t be little. She would obviously not dare take such a long winding dangerous task under her hands but with the help of the unfathomable Leylin it can be possible, she has also tasted the power of laws and even if it was for a limited period the terror of that realm is not any secret to her.
“Go ahead!”
“Perish! Innate law— Devour!” Freya smiled excitedly as a terrifying, monstrous serpent that extended across the horizon appeared behind her, and a horrifying black hole was formed in an instant.
Numerous gluttonous beasts wailed in anguish, but seemed to be suppressed by some kind of invisible force that rendered them immobile as they watched themselves disappearing into that black hole.
“No! I’m the second elder of the Stewart family, destined to break through the bloodline shackles and bring my family to glory. Why… Why did things turn out this way?” The enormous three-headed python discovered something was amiss when the black hole appeared, and he began to flee for his life. However, that wasn’t enough to escape the fate of being devoured. Along with howls of indignation, his voice slowly disappeared into the black hole.
The invisible pull spread across the plains, and the many gluttonous beasts were thrown into the black hole while howling in anguish. Their rank didn’t matter. Minutes later, all of the gluttonous beasts surrounding the holy city were completely gone.
“I feel a very full now, as if about to explode” Freya touched his belly, speechless. After devouring so many gluttonous beasts, the heat that she felt surging through her body was scorching but instantly a milky blue stream of calm and tranquil energy erupted from within her body which sealed the collected energy helping her regain stability. Freya could feel that she can use her will to release this seal little by little to eventually use the energy sealed inside.
At this moment, the A.I. Chip’s prompt was transmitted. [Beep! Host has taken in a big amount of essence, boosted by rank 6 innate skill Devour. Strength has risen by 12. Vitality has risen by 29.]
“I haven’t even started to work through the collected energy but it’s already enough to experience a growth! ” Freya shook her head.
The essence of the gluttonous beasts of the Serpent Plains was just a tiny supplement for Leylin but a huge treasure for Freya. She also knows very well that without Leylin power of law her body won’t be able to properly process the energy very efficiently either.
“It’s time to leave.” Leylin’s eyes swept across the holy city. As he had intentionally spared the city before, the power of devouring had not taken in any resident of the holy city. Hence, all the snake beings within the holy city gazed at Leylin dumbly and took particular notice of that terrifying Adishesha serpent, practically losing all ability to speak.
“What’s going on? I only saw the holy mother appear, but after that, everything seemed to have gone stagnant. When did that thing appear?”
