CHAPTER 98 Creations

"Living your life sympathizing with others in your everyday life is more powerful, than living your life based on a religious belief or some story."

– Akuto Sai

....

"Not again. So, was this chapter cut in half again? Yes, it did, and I don't think I need to tell you the reason. We all are smart enough to know why...

"I don't want to do this, nor do I like doing this, as it ruins the progression of the story."

Anyway, currently, I am writing at the end of this arc with the MC returning to the solo leveling world.

So now, I am planning the second next arc, which is again a world travel, but it would only happen once he establishes his own guild. Esdeath becomes a very well-known hunter, clearing both angel and demon dungeons, and much more.

So many more votes are coming, so take part in it.

PS Spoiler: it will be DXD, just around the time of the great war."

...

As Typhon surveyed the shadow soldiers surrounding Jin and Esdeath, a booming sound echoed through the area. The shadow knelt down, meeting Jin-Woo's gaze, demonstrating the absolute loyalty that affected all the other shadow soldiers.

Jin was still in shock, unable to react to the sudden earthquake. He found it hard to believe that he had successfully created such a powerful entity. Thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to make the most out of this newfound power.

As long as the beast lived, Jin could shape and modify it as he pleased. However, he also recognized that what he had accomplished was nearly impossible. It was a stroke of incredible luck and the power of the Tyrant's flesh that allowed the beast to adapt and form new connections for the implanted organs and limbs.

The limbs themselves were not the problem; it was the connection to the organs. Despite his attempts, even with beast healing spells, Jin couldn't create new neural connections in the mind.

He pondered the challenges he had faced, realizing that simply attaching limbs and organs wouldn't have worked, especially if they were previously paralyzed. For instance, if someone had a spinal cord injury, attaching a new set of legs wouldn't be effective without establishing new neural connections.

Jin understood that relying solely on luck was not a wise approach in life. He vowed to always rely on plans, preparations, and skills to shape his own destiny. That's why he incorporated the flesh of an ever-evolving beast into Typhon's body, recognizing its crucial role in the creation process. However, he knew that such a fortuitous event would likely never happen again without the creation of his own realm.

Jin-Woo's satisfied smile turned into a smirk as he looked at the beast's shadow. The shadow was still kneeling on the ground, its head deeply bowed.

'...'

Jin-Woo carefully observed the shadow before speaking slowly, almost as if he was confirming something.

"Was it you?"

The shadow opened its mouth and replied with a voice that sounded somewhat inarticulate but definitely intelligible.

"You have my undying devotion for bestowing such a wonderful name upon me..."

Esdeath, with a shocked expression, couldn't believe that a beast under Jin's control could communicate like this.

"How is it that you're able to talk?" she asked with curiosity.

"I just... can," the beast's shadow answered simply.

The conversation between Jin and the shadow continued, with the shadow recognizing Esdeath as Jin's mate and answering her questions as well, although not providing much helpful information.

Jin intervened to explain the connection between the shadow's ability to talk and its grade.

"It's related to their power level, the grades assigned to them. For example, Igris is an 'Elite Knight,' most of my soldiers are 'Knight' grade, Pikachu is 'Veteran Knight' grade, and Zelos is 'Veteran Elite Knight' grade. This guy is unlike my other soldiers. His grade is 'Commander' and 'General.' As they level up, they gain the ability to speak. It's dependent on their power level. He is not only the first of his kind but also the strongest in my army," Jin explained, his smile widening.

Esdeath repeated his explanation, fully comprehending the concept.

"That means all your boys and girls will start talking as soon as they level up high enough..."

"Yes, now you understand what I do," Jin replied mischievously.

Esdeath let out a sigh, expressing her frustration at how effortlessly Jin's shadows could gain such powers compared to her own struggles of reading and practicing for countless hours to achieve her level.

Jin reflected on why he had chosen to reveal his abilities to Esdeath. He acknowledged that he trusted her deeply and knew that her love for him was unwavering. However, he kept his true powers and system a secret, not even trusting himself with such knowledge. He shared some information about his abilities but never the exact details or workings.

He understood the significance of love being reciprocated, and he appreciated the unwavering love of a yandere like Esdeath. He was grateful that he had arrived in this world before the canon story began, as he could have lost her forever if she had fallen for the protagonist.

"I don't think someone needs to be jealous when she can freeze entire continents," Jin teased, flashing a smile at Esdeath.

As Jin thought about the situation, he realized that yet another reason for raising the levels of his soldiers had been added to the list. With a brief pause, he turned to the giant's shadow, the one he had always wanted to ask.

"I'm the one who killed you," Jin stated.

The ant's shadow remained silent for a moment before delivering an unexpected reply.

"I... didn't die. Through the power of my liege, I am reborn. You didn't kill me, my lord. You made me into who I am now."

The shadow raised its head, meeting Jin's gaze.

"Within me, elation overflows. I shall follow my liege for eternity. You made me a primal beast with powers beyond mortal understanding."

Jin countered, "And in the process, I also caused you pain beyond mortal understanding."

The sudden realization hit Jin. He understood why the shadow could communicate its true feelings.

Jin's heart pounded powerfully at the moment when the beast's shadow swore its eternal loyalty. He placed his hand on his chest, trying to calm his wildly beating heart. Eventually, it regained its usual calmness.

Once again, the ant's shadow lowered its head and pleaded with Jin.

"Oh, my king... Please, do not speak of pain. You didn't give me pain, but power comes with its own share of pain. Results matter, not the path taken to achieve them. Before you remade me, I was a mere laser creature. You are the creator who has given me this magnificent form. Please, grant me the permission to stand beside you for eternity."

The conversation had come full circle.

This experience felt different to Jin. Now he was being called a creator, something he had never considered himself to be. He was hearing the plea directly from the subject rather than through the prompts of the System.

Jin pondered for a moment before a smirk formed on his face.

"...Well then, I'll allow it, Typhon."

Ignoring Esdeath's face-palming herself, Jin looked at Typhon and said, "Now this is a Beast... This is so relevant for me."

Jin nodded with satisfaction at his new beast, and for the first time, he used his intellect to immensely boost the power of the beast. This also proves that he could create a Chimera, and as long as the process is done the right way and the creature remains alive during the process, the creature's shadow could successfully use the new body part.

But again, it was all a game of the mind. The usual creation of giant monsters is still possible, but it's entirely different with small creatures. In battle, unleashing a giant makes the most sense, but it's always the case that bigger is better, as the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

This beast is the primogenitor and bearer of many beasts. Jin even hunted a Tyrant just for this. As soon as he got the news that his army had seen a Tyrant, he ran for it, as he knew that only the flesh of this beast could allow him to create hybrids. Unfortunately, Jin could only find one.

So its flesh was very limited; he didn't have a lot, and its lungs were already used for Typhon.

This beast was very powerful, capable of destroying everything in its way.

Jin breathed a sigh of relief as his attempt was successful. Even though he had already tried with Telo, previously known as the son of Prime Minister Honest, Syura, it was a trifling experiment as the guy's Imperial Arm was a hand-held teleporter that worked with thoughts, called Dimensional Formation: Shambhala.

Shambhala which capable of spatial manipulation. Its user is granted with the ability to teleport people or objects over a large distance, using markers placed at the target of the teleportation.

One thing anyone would tell you is that it's a terrible idea to hold such a thing, and it's not like it could only be used by him; anyone holding it could use it.

Which was something I did. I used my speed and cut off the hand that was holding it, just as it happened in the story. I didn't want to deal with the same thing once it became my shadow and have someone escape with such a dangerous item.

So, just like with the living armor, I cut open his chest, pulled his heart out while keeping him alive with the constant use of Divine Light. I attached the Imperial Arm with straps in place of his heart and stitched the wound. Then, I killed him and raised him as my shadow.

And it worked. The Shambhala became part of his body and could be used perfectly. Even cutting the shadow right at the place of Shambhala did nothing, as it put itself back into its original shape, just like with the shadow weapons.

So, shadow weapons can't be destroyed permanently. What was unique about him was that the signature mark of Shambhala, the yin and yang sign, appeared on Telo's chest. The colors were black and purple, instead of white and black, and this was the same for the symbols that appeared when it appeared and disappeared.

Syura was a scum on earth in which his actions can go from brutally murdering civilians for no reason to showing a more perverted murderous side just by counting all those women that disappeared around the Empire. Despite that, Syura is a spoiled brat that thought everything should go as he pleases, and becomes violent whenever someone gets in his way. The only thing that keeps this guy in check is his obsession with his father and fear from the true strong like Budo and Esdeath.
