Chapter 27

Things went by faster than in the anime. For example, in the anime, the MC only came into contact with the Baharuth Empire three months after entering this world. Meanwhile, I came into contact with that empire just three weeks after entering this world. Well, I didn't come into contact with them; Demiurge instead did it for me.

Now, The Baharuth Empire was our ally. I have been controlling things from the shadow, ensuring that things in the Re-Estize Kingdom played out to my liking, such as Sebas playing Prince Charming for his soon-to-be wife.

Yes, the Baharuth Empire's most trusted man was my spy. I had spies everywhere, and everything was playing out to my liking, but there was now nothing to do. Why would I say such a thing? I was waiting for the Annual Wars between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire. That's where the battle for Carna village shall take place, and I shall see the limits to my powers...

***

Infinite Magic shot forward, casting a sea of flames toward me. I quickly moved and dodged the flames while at the same time, holy light shot towards me from Divine Chant. The other members of the former seats of the Black Scripture launched all types of attacks at me.

All my movements were perfect, without wasting time or movements, and all while being at level 20, I had reached the peak of martial arts. I didn't even need to think, my body was doing all of the movement on its own.

"Well, this is enough for now," I said resting my fleshless finger before Time Turbulence's neck, causing the guy to freeze seeing how close he was to death.

'For now, I can only reach this level of martial arts in my undead state where my mind isn't distracted... well since I have 5 months, I would go to another verse while waiting.' I thought while turning and walking off, leaving the 7 members of the Black Scripture to catch their breath.

"Go and rest, this is the last time I might train with you... until then, I might put you 7 to good use. Go and speak with Albedo for you all to join the shadow squad." I said calmly, to which they nodded and went to do as I asked.

I plan to put together a bunch of squads, each squad will be special in their unique abilities. Demiurge would lead the research Squad, Albedo is the leader of the Defence force, and the list went on. Cocytus would be the leader of the attack Force, and for this reason, Cocytus has been going to war with many demi-human tribes and conquering them all.

Cocytus had already conquered the lizard man tribe, he lost the first time as Cocytus didn't think at first. Things went the same as in the anime, Cocytus personally went to conquer that tribe, before going on to lead an army to conquer more demi-human tribes.

When leading an army, Cocytus never stepped in to fight personally and was equipped with an army that would force him to use his brain, Cocytus had to think hard if he hoped to win. Since he only used spawns from the tower, Nazarick suffered no losses.

Every day, Cocytus sat back, leading many groups of an undead army against many tribes. Remember, they can now pick up new skills. Thanks to this, Cocytus became a genius, quickly learning the ways of war along with many other things.

So, while going to take a bath, I summoned Cocytus to the throne room. By the time I returned to the throne room, Cocytus was already there, waiting for me.

"How is your training to be a general on the battlefield?" I asked while looking down upon Cocytus,

"It's been amazing my lord, I never knew that there were greater levels of combat. I had thought that combat was simply a battle of strength and skills, but in these past few days, I learned of the combat of minds. I enjoy the feeling of breaking down my opponent's plans and countering them in the most effective way possible. " Cocytus said his eyes shining. 

"I see... do you want a challenge?" I asked taking on my demonic form to show my smirk.

"A challenge?" Cocytus asked to which I nodded

"I have learned the means needed to travel to another world. I have spent time studying the countless worlds out there, and have come across a world that I want you to go and try and conquer." I said with a smile,

"My lord, I shall gift this world to you... but shouldn't we conquer this new world first then divide our focus?" Cocytus asked in confusion. I had taught everyone that it was okay to ask questions.

"I have nothing big planned for about 5 months now, everything now is to simply build a foundation within every empire and kingdom for our conquest," I said while secretly grinning at the suffering I could cause out there... well, I was a demon at the moment, I enjoyed this kind of stuff.

"My lord... is this unwise if we still don't know about this world?" Albedo asked with an uneasy look.

"That's part of the reason I'm doing this, I plan to have the world Cocytus would go to, to be a new world which would be some kind of retreat for us if things go wrong here," I said to which Albedo nodded in understanding.

Now, What world was I planning on going to? There were 3 words off the top of my head I wished to go to. Solo Leveling, The Eminence In The Shadow, and the Seven Deadly Sins.

Solo Leveling because I wanted to have the MC of that world submit to me, plus I also liked that the verse was of the modern day. I missed modern-day technology... but that's pretty much it.

The Eminence In the Shadow because I wanted the MC to submit to me, along with Shadow Garden. I didn't have an assassination unit or a unit that acted in the shadows, I kind of wanted to take in that group. There was also the fact that there was the modern-day in that world, although it would be destroyed later down the plot.

Lastly, The Seven Deadly Sins because I wanted 3 abilities. I wanted to kill Merlin, as she had the ability Infinity which allowed Merlin to cast just one spell and for that spell to be ever lasting. Simple flames she cast would become an immortal flame, ice she created become never-melting ice and the list went on. The effect of her spells would never end, leading to it being considered a cheat ability.

There was also the Demon King who had the ability called The Ruler. Anything that tries to affect him would do the opposite, in other words trying to hurt him would heal him. Stealing his energy would instead lead to you giving him your energy and the list went on.

Lastly, Chaos. It was what created everything, it had the power to warp reality to a seemingly endless rate. So yeah, I wanted that power to warp reality to my wishes.

There were other verses I wanted to go to, such as Dragon Ball for the Super Dragon Balls. 

Naruto for the Chakra fruits, and Tail beast, The Ninjas, and jutsus of that world. Bleach, if I went there and just killed everyone without a second thought, how many overpowered abilities would I have? There was also the Jojo verse,

I can't forget That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, if I killed the MC there, how overpowered would I be? There was Medaka Box, My Hero, there was One Piece, and Re: Zero.

All of these verses were my go-to verses... but which one should I go to now? I will wait for my fusion to complete before I go to the verses filled with planetary-level existences. Until now, I will go to the simpler verses.
