Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 1128 Safi's Wisdom



"I low-key hope you\'re messing with me."

Zariel shrugged. " You do you, bro. I know how to keep my cock in check."

My brow shot up." Is that jealousy?"

Snorting, he shook his head. "I\'m one of the most powerful people in the Myriad Heavens. If you think I can\'t find another woman, you\'re more naive than Vancurro."

"So Van agrees with my assessment. Great minds and all. You need experience, Little Brother. You got married too early. Who knows."

Zariel sneered and stabbed his finger against my brow. Suddenly, a heavy sensation pressed over my being, bringing me to my knees. I groaned, gasping for air, grunting at how my lungs seemed to contract even further. Sweat poured out of my pores like a lake as my vision swayed between light and oblivion.

"I\'ve sealed it for twenty cycles. Just the time it\'ll take to reach the center of the Calvorain Sea." He said, looking around at the storm on all sides of the ship.

Despite being in the Mirrored Realm, the sway of the water against the ship was terrifying. Was it not for Sera, Kuro, Adrian, and the other members we\'d kidnapped to help run the ship? I\'m sure we would have capsized already.

We had only been sailing for a decade, but the harsh winds and water came at us like a wild beasts every second of the day. Most of the sailors were beaten raw, leaving them in a pool of blood as they tried to scramble to their feet. When lightning struck, blood bled from our ears, tingling our flesh.

Not to mention the issue with food. Were it not for the Shadowfell\'s ability to enter the shadow realm and enter Noctem, we\'d starve by now. Fishing was out of the question, and no one dared to dive. Despite being gods, we were mortals in this storm.

Zariel looked me over for a while and sighed. "Your adaptation is something I made to create the perfect race. But it seems like you have mastered it so well that it\'s affecting your learning. I will not seal your forsaken bloodline for obvious reasons. But try not to abuse it. That blood you carry can do more than destroy weapons and armor at any level." He said and vanished, leaving only silence.

Struggling to stand, I groaned from the many lacerations carved into my flesh and drew Mephisto and the mysterious Safi attention.

"You look like shit," Mephisto said, looking me over. "Interesting. How do you feel?"

"Like half myself is missing," I answered, glancing at the intrigued look in Safi\'s silvery white eyes. Her head was tilted, and a faint smile over her lips seemed to deepen the longer she stared.

\'Lily, do you know her?"

"Yup. I\'m Lily. I\'m the baddest bitch out there." Lily replied with pride in her tone. And just like that, I didn\'t want to talk to Lily. I\'m the only one who can talk like that.

"Well, be that as it may. Safi here will be responsible for the next level of training. She\'s a Spatial Lord. A special one." The Trickster announced, taking a step back. "I\'ll be around to sneak attack you. So watch out." He added, ready to fade, when a sudden thought came into my mind.

"Wait! The Aspect of Sealing. I wish it to connect to the Plane of Shadows. I want all my hits to be able to not just seal but transfer the power to another plane that isn\'t accessible to various Gods."

\'Then you wouldn\'t send it into the Shadow Realm." The one call Safi explained. "You would send it into yourself. A dangerous feat, no doubt, but the benefits are higher than most people can grasp. What would happen when you face a god who can enter the shadow realm? They\'ll just recover their lost ability."

Mephisto smiled and faded as Safi continued. " When mortals become cultivators, they steal Qi from Heaven and Earth. You are stealing qi or divinity from various Gods. You need to create a domain within yourself. One of Dead Laws that will ensure that you can store wild divinity within yourself no matter how strong an attack may be, Almighty or not."

Hmmm. I\'ve created an artificial hive mind. I guess it only makes sense I create a specialized core, but everything has a limit.

"You ought to be thinking that there must be a limit?" Safi coldly said, lifting her lips into a half smile. \' And you\'d be right. But can you explain how a sliver of Qi can grow so powerful despite using the same amount of qi of a mortal, it can kill a god?"

"It uses laws," I answered, unsure where she was going with this.

\'Then what about the Slive of Qi? Where is it?"

"... in the attack. At the core. It\'s the energy that connects all the laws tog... together." Pausing as everything suddenly connected, my lips grew wide.

High-level gods that don\'t have seemingly endless qi like me will use the minimal amount of divinity to create almighty attacks or any other types of artes. While using more divinity could strengthen an attack, it\'s unnecessary as the increase in damage would be minimal.

\'Seems you get it. Sealing is all about pinpoint accuracy. Something a spear user should understand. All you need to do is pinpoint where said Arte uses the divinity as a battery. And seal it."

"You seem quite proficient in darkness laws."

"It\'s an Aspect. Water has the Aspect of Ice. And Darkness the Aspect of the Sealing. Light has the Aspect of Fire. Every Aspect can be a law but knowing where such a law originates from is crucial. For example, The Law of the Earth and the Aspect of Vibration go hand in hand." She spelled out, and I could only nod. Kind of annoyed Bael didn\'t have knowledge like this. Guess it wasn\'t needed for beings in the Fourth Heaven.

"Do I know you?" I couldn\'t help but ask. "You seem familiar. Did we do it in a past life?"

Safi\'s cheeks flushed as she shuttered, bowing her head to hide her emotions. "Are you ready?" She asked after a second or two of embarrassment. "This battle will require blood mastery, darkness mastery, and Wind Mastery."

"So many laws." I mused.

"You want to be a Chaos Lord, right? Then you\'ve got to master and be as proficient as any god can be within this Heaven."
