"So, how are you progressing?" I asked, leaning onto Freya's and Zanris's demonic cave wall. Eying the various devices I'm sure they had to create, my disgraced knight turned to with her head down.
Eyeing the Petri dishes and the unspeakable creatures in large test tubes bubbling in an erald liquid, I shifted my gaze to Freya.
"Well, my lord," She answered, turning to the equipnt, "with the technology Avar gave us and my witchcraft, I have begun analyzing Yu Jing's bloodline. We just need a few hundred years to have the results."
"That long? Can we cut such ti in half or more with ti dilation artes?"
Zanris shook her head, "We need real-ti. When dealing with the Dao of Ti, every other dao becos unstable and will ss with our results. And even so, Ti Dilation is downright impossible for us, as none of us are proficient in the laws of ti, to do it in this Abyss. Maybe in our realm but not here."
I'd figured that was the case.
I'm sure Zantar is in a similar boat as us. He, too, needs us to open the Gates of Iluthath. For better or worse, we are in the sa position. Yu Jing's death screwed everyone. I don't need to say anything, but I'm sure he will slow down the angel's quest for blood.
"So, what will you be doing in the anti?"
"We will start with cloning, but we will only make a dozen or so; most of Yu Jing's blood will be injected into various subjects. I have already begun sending out so of the mbers of the Tempest family to look for them. Most of our ti will be spent prepping the won for experintation. Speaking of—" Freya lifted her lifeless red eyes to et mine, "We need resources."
"What kind?
Various kinds, m'lord. I'd like for you to make an order in the Holocube for anyone and everyone to begin gathering whatever resources they find. I'd have Avar's or the Tempest Clan deal with the transport."
A bit of a frown could not help but lean onto my lips, "How long do you think all this will last?"
"Millions if not a few billion years, at latest a cycle or two," Freya said, dipping her head in fright.
Am I so monster? Why the hell is she so scared? Whatever. It doesn't matter, not when she has so much work to accomplish.
"it'll be done, whatever you need. Anything else?"
Freya turned to Zanris, who shook her head, and I nodded, "Good. Then I'll leave it all to you."
Allowing the darkness to swallow , I appeared in the middle of the village, watching the now blistering village filled with children and various n and won. Letting the darkness engulf again, I appeared in my courtyard, a little ways out of the village, stationed on a large hill that allowed to look down upon the town.
The sun was still unbearable, but there was sothing I had begun to notice since my arm got Tarnished and that whatever my darkness swallowed was filling with a large abundance of Divinity that was eating away at the laws, breaking them down into fuel for : This went for the light, the darkness, the air. Everything that I hadn't already Tarnished.
And it scared , as I hesitated even to toss a Soul Fla in.
Devils could absorb souls to get bits of Divinity, but it wasn't much, and it wasn't a reliable thod of gathering Divinity. I could break down the soul to its core and feed off its endless power, gathering Divinity each day like I am doing now.
However, If a soul core could free of my depth, just how strong would I beco if I were to devour a soul, core' en all? While I have fate in my body's ability to adapt, I dared not push too far.
"First things first," I muttered, turning to face my big ass house; the clan heads granted , although I did feel a bit insulted, it was so far away from the general public. Plus, there was only one Maid, and that was Jinx. Not that I'm complaining. I got a badass MILF Ninja Maid; who can complain? Bounce Bounce Bounce!
Sucking in a deep breath of icy air of the coming winter, I released a sharp breath and pulled out the severed half of the bloodstone Lilith gave yesterday. Lifting it to my eye, I felt an insane amount of energy racing through its veins, filling with unease that such a small stone that was cut in half could potentially kill in a single pulse of energy.
Lilith had made a small seal rune to stop the bleeding of qi, but I felt amazed that such a small thing could be so dangerous.
Crossing my legs in my courtyard, I continued to glare at the stone. There was nothing I had to do: nothing but train. For the first ti in a long ti, I could do whatever I wanted. Asmo and the others were in the midst of war, with their mission, and I had completed mine. All the chosen ones were now in the house in front of .
While getting to Iliah was important, as it was the epicenter of everything, going there as I am was a death sentence. Snapping my fingers, a cauldron of Flas crafted by the Flas of Hellfire covered my body. Blazing with multicolored flas that held almost every elent I could think of surged around . Controlled by one of four fragnted souls I held within , I felt a sting of pain building by the second.
"By the ti I awake, I need to be immune, not resistant to every elent. The only thing that should be able to damage is Qi and physical strength." I said to myself, already dreading the coming pain.
If Lilith thinks she will be able to defeat , then she will have to step her ga up. I'm fucking Arsene Snow; the only one who can beat is !
,m Crackling in demonic laughter, I clenched my fist over the bloodstone, and my gaze shifted to the Ring of Bael.
"Now it's ti for you. You had better be worth it."
