Chapter 645 Aqua
Understanding the laws of the Universe was important. Breaking them would result in a Divine punishment of the Universe. It was important to prevent facing a Divine punishment. After all, they could even bring Gods to fall.
However, there was something even more important than being able to understand the laws of the Universe.
It was to be able to bend the Laws of the Universe to a degree where a silver linen separated him from facing the wrath of the Universe.
That was something Nial was currently trying to do. The Veilures and Veils were existences rejected by the Universe. However, they were still within the norm of the Universe's Laws. The Veils' existence bend the Laws of the Universe to the extreme, and that was also something Nial planned to do.
He had learned a lot about the Chaos Essence, the superiority of the Veil's Chaos, and the traits of the decayed Chaos. He wanted to make use of the superior Chaos, combine it with the strongest traits of the decayed chaos, and finish fusing it into his Chaos Essence.
Over the course of time, he had visited more than twenty Veils. Their chaos was devoured, analyzed, and merged with his body. Slowly but steadily, Nial's foundation had grown stronger.
Creating the Chaos Essence and implementing it into his body was something Nial could do rather simply by creating a chaos seed. The chaos seed would become the source of his Vengeance of Chaos ability and it would create his Chaos Essence.
Nurturing the chaos seed was something that required lots of nutrition, focus, and attention.
That was also why Nial only created he had accumulated enough superior Chaos and decayed Chaos to initiate the full-blown process. Only a year had passed since he began to travel through the Universe, devouring the excessive chaos of the Veils, however, he was already known by every single one of the Veil Guards.
That was the advantage of a great communication system. It also showed him that the Advocate of the Pryards was likely to have heard about his existence, his dark energy, and his actions.
Over the past few months, Nial often encountered Ancients and Primordials. Most of them eyed him with vigilance and a certain degree of hostility. This made it clear that they had feared Damian when he was still alive, and that they were not yet sure whether Nial would become a second Late God of Darkness, or if he was different.
Facts made clear that he was actually helping the Universe to remove the excessive chaos of Veils. In fact, he had even closed one Veil. It was only a weak Veil that had just formed but his powers showed quite clearly that he had the capabilities to remove one of the biggest threats of the entire Universe, the pathway used by the Veilures.
That was more than enough reason to let Nial live and not throw any obstacles in his way. Other than their past trauma and the fear of the past repeating itself, there was no reason for the Ancients and Primordials to think of eliminating him.
Except for one Spectran, none of them should have reason to dislike his persona. They only hated his energy and the memories they recalled upon sensing his dark energy.
Nial ignored that pretty decently. He rather focused on himself, and the creation of his Chaos Seed. That was the first step he took to the creation of his Chaos Essence.
After that, there was not too much for him to do, except collect various resources that should be quite useful for the Orion Shelter, for the creation of his Divinity, and to construct defensive measurements with which he could protect his family and beloved ones forever!
Nial spent some time researching a few places that only a few beings could visit. He would use Shadow to get over there if necessary. Collecting rare materials that could be useful for Gods was a necessity. He had some time to spare, which meant that he might as well collect various resources.
As long as they were somewhat valuable, he could gain a lot for each of his three major goals.
Everything was slowly but steadily moving toward the completion of these goals and it was exciting!
An unknown amount of time later, Nial and Shadow emerged in the midst of space. Perceiving the endless expanse of liquid beneath them, he could only smile.
The entire planet he had targeted was covered with water. There was no land in his range of perception. The only thing he perceived other than the water, was the shining bright and warm sunlight.
The only sound he heard was Shadow's excitement. The Origin Leviathan shot down toward the planet where it swam around, enjoying its life.
A sense of calm overcame Nial. he smiled and descended down to the planet as well. He floated above the peaceful, aquatic world, searching for something with his Mana Sense. Somewhere the origin of the aquatic world's existence was located, and Nail wanted to get hold of the water that came from the source.
The water ought to be purifying and the best to use together with certain whetstones. At the first glance, the water didn't seem to be the most important, but it was certainly a crucial material for Runicier, Blacksmiths, and even more so Alchemists.
To create his divinity, and create the strongest fortress in the existence of the small Universe, Nial required water from the source of the aquatic planet.
The aquatic planet was located in the Meteorfield, but that didn't bother Nial anymore. He didn't plan to spend too much time in the Meteorfield. There were only a few planets he wanted to visit. After that, he would leave and probably never return.
Of course, to make sure that he would never return, he would have to take a considerable amount of water, otherwise, he might have to run back and forth.
But for now, Nial liked the scenery of Shadow enjoying life. That was quite important as well.
If one couldn't even enjoy life, what else was there to do?
