The Holy Chronicles of Baator

[Trafford]

'But still, this is just one level of Baator. The relationship between me and Dis isn't as intimate as that of a true god and their divine realm either, and there's no way to bring my worshippers' souls here…'


Leylin did not wish for his worshippers to enter Baator after death, becoming Lesser Devils.


'However… I'm sure this incident exposed my status to the remaining Archdevils…'


He seemed to smile as he looked down, his gaze piercing through the numerous hells all the way to Nessus…


Leylin knew that the moment he usurped control over the 2nd Hell of the Nine Hells of the Baator, Dis, his true nature as Demigod from the World of Gods, would be known for all of the Hell Lords.


Especially for the Asmodeus, the holder of the Primordial Contract of the Baator and the most powerful of the Lords. Leylin had long since studied the patterns of behavior of Asmodeus and everything about his enemy, as he got a really bad feeling about him.


"Hmm? He even sent me a message and wants to speak to me?"


Leylin had received a spiritual energy wave, evidently a message from Asmodeus.


"Indeed, getting the assistance of an outsider like me would be best. My position in Nine Hells of Baator is still unstable after all. However, this Devil's goodwill cannot be trusted at all; and the best way to avoid all negotiations is to leave."


Leylin put on a mysterious smile as he was warned by someone who was Lord of the parallel Baator in his own Universe, the Father of All Devils. Never trust the Devils, as they were creatures that were fundamentally the same as the Magi, always only caring about their own interests.


But contrary to the Magi, the Devils were very cunning and smart, always spouting lies that sounded like truth and velvet for the ears.


While he met the Father of All Devils, Zeoticus Lucifer, only a few times during the meetings of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden, he was aware that the man couldn't be entirely trusted.


He sensed that he was always hiding something or not telling the whole truth. Or if he was telling the truth, he felt like something was missing from the puzzle that was making the whole image of his statement.


"Azlok!"


Leylin then shouted the name of the Pit Fiend who was one of the most powerful subordinates of the former Lord of the Dis, now deceased Beelzebub.


"Your Excellency, I'm here!"


When Azlok arrived, he had some of Leylin's worshippers in tow. The collective armies of the different hells had now returned to their own levels of Baator. Had they remained, Leylin would most likely have assimilated them into his own forces.


"I'll be leaving for a while. Take care of the affairs in Dis for me. I also have a few missions for you to take care of."


Leylin did not hesitate to hand the tasks down to his men.


Azlok wasn't in a position to refuse him, and even if he was, why would he?


This Pit Fiend was extremely glad to be able to take over an entire layer of the Nine Hells of the Baator. All Devils had some innate longing to rule and organize things, so this was like a dream came true.


'Since I'm the one with Authority, when I leave, Asmodeus can only look on without doing a thing… For now, it would be best to avoid any contact with them, because it would only result in schemes from their side; not even a single word from them can be trusted and right now, I don't have a position to crush them outright.'


While he had a stable and strong connection to his True Body that was standing at the Rank 7 Law Godhood and had combat prowess that would probably be enough to defeat some weak Rank 8, it would be a death sentence to use it right now.


If he showed that ability right now and by some accident, it became known, then the entire World of Gods would join hands to hunt him down. So until Leylin achieved Rank 8 Law Godhood with his True Body, the connection would remain as his last resort.


'Once my goals are achieved and I finish ascending to Godhood with my Clone and establish the Divine Kingdom within the Baator, I can copy the method of Father of All Devils up to a certain degree... then any scheme that Asmodeus is plotting would be utterly futile.


Leylin turned back and looked at the City of Iron for one last time before leaving Baator.


Right now, as he was Lord of Dis, one of the Nine Hells of the Baator, moving between the Prime Material Plane and Baator was as easy as casting basic spells. Although many others found it difficult to travel between different worlds, to Leylin, it was like taking a walk in his backyard.

Holy Nāga Empire of the Debanks Island, Heavenly Serpent Church


'Almighty Lord, you are the Serpent that controls all, holding the powers of Devouring and Massacres.'


The church itself radiated a colorful sheen, and many of the priests prayed piously, there were also countless ordinary people carrying out their prayers as the Theocratic State of the Holy Nāga Empire was doing everything to propagate the religion.


Tiff, as the Supreme Pontiff of the Heavenly Serpent Church, was at the back of the church, meeting a white-robed Leylin.


"Master!"


he began a report, his eyes blazing with fervor and zealous worship for the Heavenly Serpent God Nāgarāja.


"We moved Marquis Jonas and his wife to the Empire as per your decree, along with all their servants, soldiers, citizens, and everyone from the islands. Everything has been transported and the former Faulen Domain has remained empty."


Leylin nodded his head as he heard the report from the Supreme Pontiff of the Heavenly Serpent Church, who was right now temporarily in charge of things together with Isabell Faulen, his cousin.


"Well done."


This was something he'd planned immediately after he'd become a Demigod.

[Trafford]

His family was on his lands now. There was no faith here other than that he approved.


Along with his Church containing multiple Legendaries, High-Ranking Legendaries, Demigods and whole armies of powerful Professionals that were fanatically loyal to his cause and religion.


With this, Leylin could finally be at ease, knowing that his investment and place on the Debanks Islands was secured. Were any god or Church to make an attempt on this place, they would all gang up on them.


'To even consider the invasion of the Debansks Islands, one would at first need to break down the Defensive Wall of Accursed of several islands and archipelagoes that are surrounding the Debanks Islands, that would require a fleet way bigger than the World of Gods has ever seen.'


Defensive Wall of Accursed was the first line of defense of the Debanks Islands, something that was built by Leylin to practically cripple anyone that would even attempt to cross over the sea and enter the Debanks Islands.


Because the Debanks Islands could be reached by only two methods, either by sea or mass teleportation. And as the second one was impossible due to various reasons, only the sea remained and Leylin did everything to prevent this eventuality.


'And to even consider the invasion of the Debanks Islands themselves, they would never at least a hundred thousand elite soldier Professionals together with many Legendaries, High-Ranking Legendaries, and at least five to ten Demigods, that is not talking about multiple Divine Avatars that the Gods would need to sacrifice to break through all of my defenses and anti-divine countermeasures.'


And if they somehow managed to overcome the Defensive Wall of Accursed, then they would come across the most arduous task, which was the conquest of the Debanks Islands themselves, and that would be...


One true nightmare.


As Leylin planned to keep the worshippers of the Holy Nāga Empire, as they were an essential part of his power, as he planned to assimilate the clone body into his True Body to increase his power at a later date further, the continual existence of the Holy Nāga Empire was essential for the later date.


Thus, he prepared tons of defensive measures for the Debanks Islands to become an impenetrable fortress that was his power base within the World of Gods.


Some of the traps and countermeasures with the Anti-Divine properties were even developed by the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.


Because they were experts when dealing against anything that was of the Divine Origin and they were very good at it.


'In fact, if the Churches that tried to group up against me tried to do it again, they would definitely suffer tremendous losses, and that is only under assumptions that they will achieve some significant military achievements and land at the Debanks Islands themselves.'


Due to the defenses of the Debanks Islands, any kind of invasion would require tremendous effort and military power.


'Furthermore, at a critical time, I can turn to their enemies, forming an alliance with the Evil Gods… The costs far outweigh the benefits. Even Mystra, as much as she hates me, wouldn't be so foolish.'


Leylin knew that the sole way how to deal with the Debanks Islands would be a wider coalition of the Gods of the World of Gods that would ally against him and use all of their mortal influence to attack the Debansk Islands.


But such a thing was night impossible because, for that, there were too many and too high animosities between the various factions of the Gods and those in power, so something like that would never really happen.


"How's the Holy Nāga Empire been faring lately? Has there been anything special on the Mainland or Faulen Island?"


Leylin then asked about the internal state of the Holy Nāga Empire, as he wasn't really paying attention to its growth for the past months as he had far more pressing matters to deal with than the mortal influence, no matter how important they may be.


The situation within the Nine Hells of the Baator was still more pressing and important for him, as were his other interests and missions.


"We have planted the first batch of rice this season. The plague was controlled by a free supply of Holy Water as well. There was some commotion on Faulen Island due to the withdrawal of the Jonases. Still, the remaining managers managed to minimize the impact on trade."


Tiff had only needed a moment of thought to answer. With the Holy Nāga Empire being a theocracy, Tiff was the one with the greatest authority as the country's Supreme Pontiff.


With his many years of travel on the Mainland, he'd deeply experienced the ups and downs of life. Paired with his strength and knowledge, he would manage Debanks Island well; he was basically something akin to a Regent of the Holy Nāga Empire until a new Holy Emperor would be crowned.


While technically speaking, Leylin was the Holy Emperor of the Holy Nāga Empire; he was only in name only.


All the real power rested within the hands of Isabel Faulen as his future wife and somebody that he was increasingly growing fond and Tiff as the Supreme Pontiff of the Heavenly Serpent Church.


Leylin had far more pressing matters sort to deal with, so he couldn't really pay a lot of attention to the Holy Nāga Empire, as he would have wished. But for that reason, he had many competent people to fill that role.


"For now, focus all your attention on developing the Holy Nāga Empire into its maximum efficiency and potential. We need to grow our strength as fast and as much as possible to ward off any potential invasion or attacks from the other Churches and nations of the Mainland."


Leylin ordered Tiff what to do as right now; the Holy Nāga Empire was in the so-called consolidation phase, which would take a few more years.


During this phase of the development of the Empire, they needed to build a proper, functioning and powerful nation that would be able to resist any kind of external threat that could possibly come from the Mainland.

'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.

"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.

"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.

Dungeon Overlord: Unexpected Results of Worshipping Outer Gods

"Worshipping the Outer Gods isn't really the best idea, and for many, it won't really end well.
For me, though?
At the start, it was shit, but now I am Dungeon Master of the Interdimensional Dungeon, tasked with Harvesting Fate, Magic, and Life from the worlds. I am bringing the End Times to the worlds in the name of the Great Old Ones.
Oh yes, did I tell you that I managed to have several beautiful, overpowered wives on top of that?"

DxD: Seraph God of Destruction
"So I have been reborn... that is good.
In the Highschool DxD... could be better; reality is often worse than a shitty presentation.
Fortunately, to the son of Shiva the God of Destruction, and Thashamal the Seraphim of Doom, that was certainly good.
But you know what wasn't good?
In a few years, the Khaos Brigade would be making a mess, awakening the Trihexa and machinations of the Spirit Gods of Etoulde. Those self-righteous bastards have drawn the attention of Evies to Draconic Deus and other threats."

Records of Magic

Beyond majestic mountains, across the emerald dale, on the ivory standard united, we prevail. Records of Magic, the records of the rise of Magic in 21st Century, through the World War III to the Invasion of Burning Legions.

We are the Yotsubas, the Untouchable; we fought against the Dahan, we fought against the USNA, and we fought against the Demons of the Burning Legion.

From the distant shores of Amani, the ruins of the Troll Wars, it was recorded that a new power would rise for every trial suffered and every ally mourned; they would be the guardians of Azeroth.
