46.66% Monarch of Darkness, Arsene / Chapter 613: Divine Sense

章 613: Divine Sense

Borrowing through the confines of this space, I could not help but reminisce about the once free winds passing through my majestic hair. Outer space was boring as hell, far too dull for this Ashen King. The elements were pretty much all missing, so there was nothing but sweet darkness to enjoy.

Shooting the ever silent Lilith a glance as she remained locked in meditation this past month, I closed my eyes and cleared my mind, and allowed my soul to release a pulse of Spiritual Qi that released a large encompassing domain. Devouring the laws of space and whatever life existed in this tunnel of space we were currently passing through, my mind grew almost ten times sharper.

Everything around me, I could see with a crystal clear clarity. Divine Sense was a cunning way to allow the soul to see without the restriction of the Mortal or Immortal body. Casting away the confine of the body and gazing freely without fault, the Divine Sense for most people was the best way to see enemies or things that the body itself doesn't allow. This, however, included the laws of creation that were actively trying to mask themselves from me ever since I became a god. It wasn't really an issue for me, but I did note that the comprehension of most laws took at least ten times longer than usual.

Holding the sphere of my Divine Sense around me, I began to condense this giant bubble that spanned about seven kilometers in diameter. The clarity within my mind began to grow sharper, and the laws of creation began to grow radiant.

Finding myself drooling at the laws laid bare before me. I cursed whoever told me that the Heavenly Laws would get harder to grasp as a god. The Laws had grown so clear I knew the veil held by these laws had long vanished, but my Divine Sense had only shrunken two kilometers.

Nevertheless, I had discovered sweat flowing endlessly down my brow, causing a realization to touch my heart. Not everyone was capable of controlling their soul like I was, much less shrinking the tool that allowed them to see the unseen. I have come to trust the darkness to be my eyes, so I did not need a large Divine Sene; that was just a flex that did nothing but expands my line of sight.

Continuously shrinking my soul till my cheeks turned pale, and there was a small seven-meter long domain around me, I dared not go smaller. I had a very high comprehension, but at this point, there was a thing called too much information. While it was not on the level of seeing into the weave, the Laws of space and time were so clear around me. I knew a few decades, maybe an eon, I would be able to grasp the Ninth Stage of Dao comprehension. By then, I should be able to banish someone with a wave of my palm.

Chuckling with a burst of evil laughter, I could not help but dream of running around the Bed of Chaos, banishing all those who oppose me. I wonder if I will be able to slap a person into the Hells. Now that is a flex! A stupid flex, as I will not gain their soul, but it will surely feel good.

"Your getting distracted again," Lilith blurted out, interrupting my fantasy. She opened her eyes, and being seated well within the range of my Divine Sense, allowed me to see through her pupils at the almost endless set of eyes staring back at me, sending such chill down my soul, a thin layer of ice wrapped over me.

"You're using Into the Abyss?" I grimly asked as a faint look of surprise traced over her pupils.

She smiled. "It's one of the best ways to learn and gain experience. Why fight when I could just steal another's experience. But I was talking with Ava. It would seem Death has taken her on as his new champion. She may very well inherit his throne. I have lifted her restriction, both in the Horseman Gate and out of it. With this war on the horizon, I have a feeling holding back anything will be foolish."

"And just like so, four paragons are born," I darkly noted. Those of the Abyss were broken. It's literally unfair they can do nothing and still grow. No wonder they are not allowed outside the Abyss."

"We are a Hive. It's not like we are the only race that has this ability. My race simply took it to the highest level possible—no need to be jealous. You may be able to do the same with that Soul Arte you are working on." She reminded, winking her eyes, with a mischievous glint.

"True, but it will not be the same as what you are doing. It will never be too broken. Tell me, what is the second Arte you Abyssal Fiends awaken?"

"Well, it's not really a passive trait, but rather an Arte, created by The Abyssal Devour, Izavith. She named herself the first day I used 'Into the Abyss.' Cute name, huh?" She claimed as sweat ran from my brow, dismissing my Divine Sense, draining my spiritual essence. I sighed.

"Izavith? Are you thinking of naming our child that?" I asked, knowing where she was heading with this. Nodding with a vibrant smile, Lilith chuckled, shooting the sleeping Arkanos a glance.

"I wanted something that began to with an 'i', boy or girl."

Palming my face, I sighed, "you want to name our child, after some woman, that devours those from the Abyss? Tell me, what realm is Izavith in?"

Shrugging her shoulder, Lilith blinked innocently at me, "She is one of the strongest of those in the Abyss, and she is building me a castle. It would be an honor to have my baby named after her. Do you know how long it would take for him or her to reach that level? Or how long it would take to reach Izavith stage?"

Rolling her eyes at her justification, I eyed her stomach, "Izavith sounds like a girl's name. What are you planning on naming our child if it's a boy?"

"Arsene," she swiftly remarked, "All boys are going to be named Arsene."

"Jesus, you are insane!" I muttered, wondering if it was alright to even have a baby with her. This kid is going to be a combination of crazy. Humanity is screwed.

章 614: Solrem, The Sunken Half Isles

Piercing through the void upon Little-big Ty, the sounds of shattering glass awoke me from my cultivation. Blinking my eyes into focus, a blinding light tore at my retinas. Forced to squint at the shimming Azure that was the sun, my eyes landed upon the world of blue below.

I froze upon my dragon's back and held onto her razor-sharp scales. "Where is the Land?" I asked, shooting Kurt and Sigfried a sturdy glance, but no words seemed to echo from their lips. Shaking my head at their uselessness, I turned to Arken, paler than ash. "Do you know?"

Jerking the half-dead Captain awake, a painful growl left his chapped lips. Lying a single step from his grave, Arken opened his unfocused eyes, consumed in an eerie fog," temple, look for the temple." he muttered, slipping back into a coma.

Lilith glanced at me and patted little Ty, "You can change back now, little one. We can handle the trip down." Shimmering in light, she returned to her chibi appearance and lept onto my shoulders.

Noticing Arkanos's sullen appearance, I could not help but notice that she was still not a god. I was sure talent was not the problem, but rather a lack of divinity. Patting her tiny head, the silver-headed dragon peered up at me with a helpless eye. Passing my hands through a waterfall of silk, she leaned into my hand.

"Does Arkanos wish to be strong?" Lilith stated evenly, masking the sinister intent behind her smile. She lifted her over her head and onto her neck. Holding onto Arkanos's two tiny legs as my lips curled down.

"Mama Two has a way?" She meekly asked, and Lilith gave a slight nod. Remaining silent, I did not bother to say anything. As childish as Arkanos was, she was an intelligent dragon. She, like Ty, understands what it means to pay the price.

"Of course, have you known me to lie?" She slickly answered, glancing up at the timid look of the little girl around her neck. She chuckled, "Fret not, little one. When we return to the Holy Sword Sect, Mama will grant you everything you desire and more."

"Ark,' Ty feebly muttered, gripping my hair with trembling hands. I could not help but grow amazed. Never would I have thought Ty would be worried. It seems she did like Arkanos, despite being a bully.

Twisting my gaze off the foreboding pressure, I summonsed the Spear of Pestilence and plunged it through the skull of Arken. Splashing blood over my feet, I twisted the jagged head of my spear through his head, tearing open a hole in his skull. Dismissing my spear, I shot the disgusted-looking Kurt an amiable grin. "Do you have anything to say?"

Witnessing the corpse of Arken starting to rot and blister with boils. I took quick note of the disgusting worms burrowing around his flesh.

"I think." he hesitantly voiced, "I think I might actually hate you. You just do whatever you want, don't you?"

"Kurt," Sigfried warned, clenching his shoulder.

"I never did understand how people could be so empathetic. I struggle with such things. It's so easy to recognize and grasp, but I simply lack that ability to truly feel something. Humanity, in my eyes, is just filled with contradictions. It's disgusting, truly.

"We hunt and feast upon helpless beasts to the point of extinction and justify ourselves as superior, claiming that these beasts are just mindless animals. But it's a sin when it comes to an animal with above-average intelligence. Why does it matter if a human is conscious or not? Life is life. You don't think about it when you hunt for food. You are, after all, a superior creature. Yet you have the gall to judge me? Do you not see the hypocrisy? Why should we lookout for the weak? Why should I waste my time to make others feel good when I can make myself happy?"

"If we don't, then society will fall into chaos," Kurt hissed, glaring with piercing dark eyes.

"And is that not the way of us cultivators? Based upon that guilt, you held when you came to me about this mission, I can say for sure you are not any different. Tell me what innocent man did you destroy to get to where you are. Grow the fuck up, you useless idiot. You are not a mortal that lives by society's standards of values. All cultivators are monsters. It all comes down to if you are willing to show that monster."

Trailing past Kurt, who stood still, I snickered, "Although I am curious who is that man, who has you so regretful? Truly I wonder what will happen when I ask him?"

"Arsene, I warn you," Kurt suddenly barked, releasing a dreadful power that surged through space. " Silven is mine."

Peering into his distraught heart, fired up with cold wrath, I could vaguely see images of a small child brimming in tears. Draped in tattered rags filled with filth, the young child burrowed through trash on the street. Clawing for food, with all he had, a sudden voice that shook Kurt's very core called.

Somewhat surprised by what I was witnessing, I repeatably blinked my eyes. Kurt was from the slums! Yet he acts so high and mighty!

Bursting into laughter, I could not help but see the irony. How was a child from the harsh slums so moral? I would assume those that live on the streets to be nothing more than selfish bastards. Even if they are not, they would definitely put themselves first. Hmmm, maybe that is what happened.

"Lower your fangs, Kurt." I patiently warned, showing no concern to his rising divinity towering over me like the flood. "Arkanos is watching. You wouldn't want me to show her the image of me caving in your skull. I am sure you two have bonded after these hundred years."

"Papa, let's go! Ty is bored!" My dragon demanded, pulling at my hair. Saving both the life of Kurt and helping out her little sister, I nodded.

Soaring down towards the world, I did not bother to put a barrier as I pierced through the Exosphere and the thermosphere of the planet of Solrem. Enjoying the searing heat, Ty remained rather indifferent about it. As a dragon, I was sure such little heat did nothing to her godly body.

Zooming down till we touched upon the water, I felt the cool winds gush over me as the wave splashed back and forth, casting over a mist of salty water over me. Filling me with a refreshing sensation.
