Chapter 88: Transcendent!
What would Draco gain from all of this? When he conquers the Empire and Evolves, Would it be worth it? What Rank would he reach? And how did that Rank Work?
Evolving would get Draco out of the Earthly Ranks and into the Heavenly Ranks.
Evolving would get Draco out of the Realm Of Mortals and into the Realm Of Transcendents.
Those who Understood 100% Of at Least a Single Law.
Those Who began The Fusion of Law into their own Bodies.
Those who were too feared to walk on Earth they were banished.
The fusion of laws into one's Body came with many downsides and dangerous aftereffects depending on the Law.
Fire law would make one quick to get angry and explosive.
Water Law would make one calm, decisive, and ready to act at times.
Gravity Law would make one slow and heavy or rapid and unpredictable like a feather.
Thus, to make these beings able to control themselves a little better they were banished to the Prison. Sent to face the Imprisoned Ones and thus born from utter filth and Evil, They fought, Fused with the laws, and grew.
By the time they evolve once again they leave directly and set foot into the Greatest Continent, The Continent full of Powerhouses, Powerhouses capable of overturning seas and flattening mountains.
This was Draco's Goal, This was Draco's Reward, and this was Draco's Path.
But, Would it actually be worth it? The Things that would happen to him once he evolves are many, and getting banished to prison was just one of them. Meeting Fate was another and having to deal with the aftermath of Fusing not one, not two, not three, but dozens of Laws wasn't something a normal person could handle.
However, Draco was not normal by any means.
He was the Stage 2 who against all odds managed to defeat 12 EX-Ranks on his own with nothing but a single Clone to conquer an entire continent of Monsters. The Cursed Forest!
And if all of this meant he was getting one step closer to his goal of Conquering the Stars and galaxies then he would face any challenge no matter how difficult and Grand it was, or whoever sent it down on him. He was a man who feared no one.
So How Did the Realm Of Transcendents Work?
Well, first of all, The Transcendent Realm was the First Realm of the Heavenly Ranks.
The Line that separated Mortals from beings of unfathomable power.
After a being successfully manages to understand 100% Of A Certain Law he most likely fulfilled One condition out of 4 to reach Rank Up or Evolve.
Then once all 4 four Conditions are fulfilled and one successfully evolves, all he has to do is start the process we call the fusing of Laws.
This was all he had to do as a Transcendent.
Fusing the Laws he understood with his own Body and becoming one with them.
Slowly but surely trying to grasp what the Truly knowledgeable call The Essence Of Law.
And as we've stated before such an Action comes with many downsides, and the higher the number of Laws one tries to Fuse at once the harder and more chaotic the process is.
The most calm of Laws could cause an entire continent to quake or go entirely still, not to mention Disaster, Space, or Gravity.
Now, what about someone with Chaos itself as an Affinity?
Indeed, Draco upon Evolving into a Chaos Anomaly had gained an Affinity that was unique to him alone. It was Chaos.
We've previously explained what Chaos was but, what did it do?
Chaos was simply an unorderly and utterly random amalgamation of every element and concept that Draco already has an Affinity with.
To make perfect use of Chaos one had to already have at least 2 Affinities, but if One only had a single affinity on top of Chaos itself then the way it would work is that that second Affinity he has let's take Gravity as an example, would be the most random, inexplicable, destructive Gravity there ever was.
Instead of either taking one up or down it would grab him from all sides.
Laws worked in a way we understood, they didn't leave common sense behind, No, they worked within a set of rules and all Understanding them did was study their intricacies and Limits so as to bring out their maximum Potential.
But, Chaos didn't work that way, It left Common Sense behind and broke down the Limits of the affinities making them capable of doing things they would have never been able to do in such a stage.
If more than one Affinity was added on top of Chaos then the destructiveness and potential brought out is phenomenally Obscene.
And it didn't have any problems with Fusing Opposite Elements such as Fire and Water or Ice and Lava, No, it added their strengths on top of each other.
Water becomes Burning and Fire becomes a liquid.
Lava freezes and Ice melts.
The Four of them together would freeze, melt you, and break you into a thousand pieces after you burn to death.
This was Chaos in the case where one has at least one Affinity, but what if One didn't have any affinity?
It's simple, Chaos also stands for Anything Unorderly, Randomness, and War!
As One Understands Chaos he comes to a point where the more Chaos around him the Stronger he gets, not in a literal way yet but because in Chaos he has more authority, in Chaos he has more power, in Chaos, he is the ruler.
Chaos was a powerful Affinity, No, it was one Of the Most Powerful Concepts there ever is After Creation and Destruction, Two of the Forbidden Concepts no other being than a select few could have.
Chaos was a derivative of Destruction, and Order the Opposite of Chaos was a lesser Law of Creation. And both of them could only have 1 Holder at a time in a limited Area.
What mattered most right now was that Draco only had 1 Month to take Chaos' Understanding Rate to 100% or as high as he could.
The Thing was that the number of EX-Ranks in the entirety of the Human and Monster continent wasn't a lot.
But it was enough for Draco to take a few of his Affinities to 100%. After that he could take his sweet time or use the system to find faster ways to Understand them.
But, One question remained.
What Happened to Greed? Did Draco Devour him? Was he truly dead? Did he go back to the Demon Continent? What Happened to Greed?
Well, Greed was 100% Dead, no chance of him being alive at all.
But Was he Devoured after or did Draco forget about him and just let him like that?
There were in fact Demons in the Boat they came with, However, without the two EX-Ranks, they wouldn't dare in a thousand years to traverse the Cursed Sea and hope to reach the Demon Continent in two pieces. Because they definitely wouldn't last 30 minutes before they die.
The Poor demons waited and waited for their... Great Savior Lust to come and help them traverse the Deep Sea but, one minute, one hour, one day, she never came.
But someone else did. It was the Ice Witch. Before Draco touched the Heart he sent the Slut back to the dungeon and the Ice Witch was given a mission to bring Greed and his boat there before she goes.
So Greed Died, and he didn't go back to the Demon Continent but those there knew very well that two of theirs were dead. How and Why? they didn't know, but they felt it deeply for their connection was deep as they came from a single entity the Original Sin Demon.
When one of them died it was as if a part of them was dead simultaneously weakening them all.
Like what Happened to the Previous Generation Sovereign Demons Of The 7 Deadly Sins, they should start anew with their Understanding and either get killed or give up, pass the burden onto a new generation and go into seclusion to try and Understand another law.
However, not one but two strange things. the Sin of Lust was immediately recovered after death as if the Slut was revived which was very hard and then it was amplified Four times as if someone managed to gain it and then a fifth time 15 days later, it was utterly ridiculous to even think of.
However, Greed wasn't regained immediately and they were starting to doubt things and plan to go and recover his body but at the same time Lust was amplified for the fifth time Greed came back and was amplified as well 5 times.
But did this mean they were intrigued and scared and continued their plan of wanting to go and recover their lost comrades?
No! Even if there was a risk of whoever killed Greed and Lust to come after them they didn't care.
Why? Because when a single Deadly Sin rose in Understanding all of their sins rose at the same time!
