Chapter 214 (Law of Devouring)

"It's a condensed crystal, composed of a law. That one is the law of devouring. When you use it, you will instantly learn how to use this specific law with a certain amount of understanding...

If it was me from before this would be priceless. But my understanding of the law of devouring has already passed what this crystal can do, but do you know how many times I spent trying to understand it... it's a... no never mind." Tiamat who was usually calm was a bit depressed. It seems something happened in the past.

"Hmm. Let me guess, like in xianxia novels. It took you hundreds of years to gain your current understanding of this law right? Haha, I wonder how old you really are." He laughed

Tiamat stared at him coldly, before taking a deep breath, an evil smile then formed on her face, "Ara, haven't you heard that mentioning a woman's name can cause unimaginable disaster?"

"Heh, I already know about this and have mentioned it to the others. They got angry but what can you girls do? punish me? I'd like to see all of you try!... at most all you could do is ignore me for a certain amount of time." He smiled.

"Ara ara ma... you're including me? Unlike the others I have a power more powerful than yours. That little girl Scathe could also suppress you. If what you said is true, but unlike her I'm not too soft." Tiamat clenched her hand into a fist, and just like that the surroundings trembled.

As her will completely dominated everything in the space, he was completely stunned. He can't move.

The system alerted him what's happening.

[A high ranked divine has set its eyes on you!]

[Your body and the surroundings has been contaminated with divine energy]

[All current function of your body is frozen]

[Do you want to disable the restrictions?

Cost: 10000UP

Yes | No]

'Damn'

Slowly by slowly his body levitated in the air and drew closer to Tiamat.

"Will you tell this queen what you just said before?" Tiamat smiled?

"Ara. Apologies it seems like I forgot that you can't speak right?" Tiamat motioned her hand. With a wave, his mouth that was restricted loosen.

"What the hell are you doing woman? You're disobeying your master?!!" He forced a smile, 'What the heck though, just disabling this restrictions almost already covered all of my points. And like hell I'm gonna do that.'

"Hm? Arara, nothing of that sort. This maid has never heard of any of your orders master." She smiled.

"Then stop!" He ordered.

"As you ordered my master." As though nothing happened the space became tranquil.

"I'm just joking okay?" He landed to the ground, fixing his embarrassing posture.

"Hmm." Tiamat hummed, not trying to buy it at all. Her eyes was still looking at him with a sharp glint.

"Really okay? I promise. I'm just trying to tease you. I'm not going to hurt my women, if you girls say you don't like it and hate it. Then I won't do it again. I was just testing if you, like them are sensitive regarding to your age. Geez, in this kind of world ages doesn't even matter. You're beautiful, no signs of wrinkles in the face. Very like a young woman. So no problems now okay? Understand?" He smiled

Tiamat smiled, "I'm not angry at all. I was just letting you see what happens when I get angry okay? Like what you said I couldn't careless about ages. However, I don't remember someone being alive after saying that."

"I can't trust that at all... anyway enough. How am I gonna use this?" He asked

"Before I answer let me make it clear. You keep mentioning about me being part of your women. I'm not your woman yet." Tiamat pinched his cheek.

'She pinched my cheek, well I guess she doesn't hate the idea of touching me' He smiled in his thoughts before turning it to a grin, "Yet?"

"That's right! Yet! You still need to work hard my master." Tiamat smiled.

"So you have already resigned to fate that you'll eventually become my woman. Sigh. My charms knows no boundaries." He narcissistically said

"Hm," Tiamat chuckled, "Let's quickly get you to absorb that law... just break the crystal and it'll be done as easy as that."

"Oka—

Sistine didn't let him finish, "Don't use it! You don't need this right now. It would be a waste."

"Why?"

"Several reasons. First, you are already so strong in terms of being on the celestial rank so you don't need to hurry of gaining more power. Second, you have already absorbed the World source and had gained understanding of the law of devouring. When you become an immortal where one usually starts learning the law, your understanding will be assimilated. Third and should be the last. You can give this to one of the sisters for her to master this law early without becoming an Immortal." Sistine explained.

"I'm really not that in a hurry of improving my strength, I still have a thousand years. Though it doesn't hurt to have precautions as we can't predict if something unexpected happens, but yeah this suggestion is good. I can't have my women being so weak can I?"

Sistine happily agreed with his decision.

"Why did you stop?" Tiamat asked.

"I'll just keep this for now after all. I'll give this to the others. With my pace, I don't need to be that much in a hurry." He said.

"Suit yourself... but I really didn't think someone could think of another individual before their selves. It's common that in the pursuit of strength you can sacrifice anything, even your loved ones. Do you really love your women that much?" Tiamat asked curiously.

"I'm not that sure myself since we only spent a bit of time together except Alexia. But I can confidently say that I like them now and will love them in the future... and every one who pursue strength each have his or her own reason right? I don't have that much grand of a dream. I just want to be powerful to enjoy life happily with my women. And sacrificing my women? that phrase doesn't exist on my mind. Hell, it's better to die than be powerful all alone."

"Hmm quite cliche but also unique. Since all those who thinks like that doesn't live long. Well, I'm here, even. Not many could stop me in this universe. I'm already at the peak so you're really lucky." Tiamat smiled.

'At the peak? a divine? Does she even know that gods exist? I'll just tell her later together with the others. About the system too, my transmigration all this I'll eventually have to tell them. The only one stopping me is that I'm a bit conflicted telling this to Alexia...

"Okay! let's get out of here the other things left here are a bunch of papers, documents about a research on something. I'll check it later." He transported all of the things left to his system storage.
