Myriad Devils-Chapter 235: One of One

Once his soul had returned from the realm of death, having devoured some of its characteristics, his soul immediately actualized the complexities of an abstract soul.

At the same time, the mysterious nature of his dark soul’s devouring distinguished it from ordinary abstract souls.

Once he returned to the world of creation, his abstract soul could easily locate what was previously hidden: the Will of the Celestial Supreme and the chaotic blood of the Infernal god.

Though a remnant Will, it still had a connection to the Celestial Supreme, and this was the origin of the many benefits he received.

In theory, he could’ve used that connection to locate the Celestial Supreme himself and attempt to devour his entire Will.

However, he did not have a death wish

Well, actually... maybe he did.

In a way, Anon looked forward to the day he returned to death. He wanted to devour the entire realm of death and maybe attain a paradisical soul through this action.

But this was something that needed to be planned out well, so there was no rush to die just yet.

In the end, Anon needed to thank those two incomprehensible figures. To understand why, one must begin with the characteristics unique to Anon and his Boundless physique.

Naturally, after being mentioned so many times, the Dark Soul’s characteristics were self-explanatory.

His characteristics, Anon named them. They went like this: Dark Soul, Boundless Body, God’s Eye, Wings of Light, Divine Nature, and Ungodly Nature.

The first two were unique to his otherworldly ascension. His Boundless Body had an inherent trait that was incredibly useful, and worked hand in hand with his God’s Eye.

The God’s Eye could decipher the true nature of most things and comprehend their form and structure, whereas his Boundless Body’s inherent trait allowed him to contain most energies, and more importantly, allow him to mimic the structure of most things once he understood them.

The countless energies existing in the universe could be contained or devoured, understood, and mimicked by him, but this was only its most basic form!

A bold thought formed in his head.

’The Dark Soul devours the universe. The Boundless Body contains the universe. The God’s Eye deciphers the universe. The Boundless Body mimics the universe...’

Anon’s heart quivered at this thought, ’Finally, I am the universe!’

"No, no, this is too far away, too far away!" He actively attempted to calm his bold ideas. This kind of stimulation was too much for any one or thing to be capable of bearing.

Wings.

Yes, his wings!

Anon switched his chain of thoughts because those scheming behind his back desired to make him lose himself in desires.

They were too much!

Wings of Light made him transcendent.

With a gentle flap of his wings, he could already, from the instant of his otherworldly ascension, achieve the cosmic limit in speed.

However, this power originated from the Celestial side; hence, this was only its first stage of development.

It was unbelievable that the speed of a Dimension Lord, the cosmic limit, was merely the first stage of development, and it made his heart thump that much faster.

Then there was Faith Force, an untraceable form of energy born from the hearts of sentient lifeforms, and a part of his Celestial Nature.

Anon was deep in thought.

’If I did not receive gifts from my two lovely people, would I be capable of perceiving this energy through my God’s Eye?’ 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Stellar cosmic energy was the quintessence making up this world, and could be found permeating throughout the vast cosmic space, or within a star’s heart; however, even stars pulsed with a myriad of different energies.

There were entire dimensions constructed purely out of principle power, and this was another form of energy as well.

But Faith Force was fundamentally untraceable and invisible.

Likely, he could not see it even with his God’s Eye, opening the possibility that there were other kinds of energies that he might not be capable of perceiving.

Or maybe he could’ve, who knows...? He did not.

Anon chuckled to himself, unfazed, ’Well, it’s a good thing that I said I can decipher most things and mimic most things... not all.’

Back to Faith Force.

Forming the foundation of his inner world was a near infinite amount of stellar cosmic energy, a thoroughly infinite pit of undying fire energy, and pools of energy created from his other principle powers.

Finally, there was Faith Force along with a vile blood pool.

This gathering of Faith Force was slowly being cultivated; however, its speed of culmination was excruciatingly slow, and so too was the growth of the blood pool.

Actually, Anon’s chances of survival, thanks to his Faith Force, had risen even more. He had a unique connection to each of his believers, and he could grant them his own strength through this connection...

In exchange, if he were to die, he would experience a kind of rebirth through them.

The only problem with that would be, his entire existence would transform into a conceptual belief.

Once he was worshipped, he could not die, but if he were to be forgotten...

Well, once he returned through his followers, he would simply find a way to truly rebirth and rid himself of these shackles.

He was confident he could do that much.

’I don’t think that’ll even happen though,’ Anon thought of the undying nature of his flames and his ability to be reborn through them.

More than that, there was his Demonic Nature.

’Chaos, depravity, evil... I am the origin of all these things, and once I truly become the origin of these things, death would have no sway over me, and I can grasp greater power through these concepts. By corrupting others, I can devour their strength for myself, incarnate through them to skip death, or simply acquire obedient spawns.’

Speaking of, Elizabeth was already corrupted by him.

Between them was a connection, and he could fester within her heart perpetually. She was under his control, and also a gate to a new life.

If it truly came to it, Anon did not care about genders when his life was on the line. He actually favored this way over the path through Faith Force.

After all, once becoming an otherworldly creature, the body was capable of easily morphing into a man, woman, both, or neither.

These were bodies that could be flesh and blood lifeforms, or gaseous life as well. They could mimic the appearance of stars, even.

Anon’s Boundless physique allowed him to go beyond mimicking mere appearance, but the inherent nature of all things as well.

In truth, when everything became one whole, with his wings of light, he had the speed of a Dimension Lord, and through the energies making up his inner world, he also had the means of one.

His stellar cosmic energy still had a ways to go, because his cultivation itself was still in its initial stages, but his infinite, undying energy contained the same infinite mysteries of a Dimension Lord’s power.

In comparison to actual Dimension Lords, he would be on the lower end of the spectrum, but it also made him a pinnacle existence amongst Realm Fathers.

When involving the three principles within him that resonated with and amplified each other’s effects, his means were suddenly covered by a layer of complexity.

Coupled with his identity as the young lord, he was neither afraid for his life when confronting the majority of Dimension Lords, nor did he need to be.

"Safe to say, I am the most powerful otherworldly knight in history," he chuckled lightly.

Opening his eyes, they appeared to be windows leading to an endless cosmic expanse. And in truth, they did.

The room was vast and dark, and Anon unearthed a miniature version of his inner world in the outer world.

His cultivation path was different than others.

When his otherworldly body was created, his soul had devoured his spirit and metaphysical core system (flesh), and his Will exploded to create the worlds...

This Will was naturally the eternal sun star that previously resided within his Dark Soul.

When everything merged, this Will opened the way to Cosmos Forging, creating a connection between his own Willpower and his cultivation realm.

An unfathomable soul had three Levels of Willpower, whereas an abstract soul could nurture to a Level Five Will.

Anon still only had a Level One Will; however, with an abstract soul, it was infinitely easier for him to actualize a Level Three Will compared to those with unfathomable souls.

At the same time, the levels of his will now correlated with his cultivation realm as well.

With his Cosmos slowly being forged, his Will was naturally being nurtured. But this was not how an otherworldly creature would usually increase the level of their Willpower.

It meant that Anon could increase the level of his Willpower through deepening his cultivation, and he could also deepen his cultivation through increasing the level of his Willpower.

Each greater level brought about a transformation in his realm.

And with an abstract soul, it meant that his Willpower would be improved much faster than his peers, creating a chain reaction that saw his cultivation be capable of rapid improvements because he had an abstract soul...

This was his, Anon Xerxes, very own cultivation path.

Others had their souls within their heart realm, but his soul was his flesh and spirit. He had four principles that gifted him their blessings, and four more that favored him.

He plundered from the Celestial Supreme and the Infernal god as a mortal existence. And his path of cultivation was unique, solely to himself.

It was only natural for him to voice with a solemn expression, and a sense of desolation in the depths of his cosmic eyes...

"One of One, I Am."
