The Demonic Body Art was divided into six levels.
The first two were equivalent to the Indestructible Body stage, the middle two to the Indestructible Soul stage, while the rest were equivalent to the True Spirit Stage.
The energy born was the same for all six levels.
However, the Demonforce’s quality and overall volume would increase significantly with each breakthrough.
As this information resurfaced in Liora’s mind, two different energies appeared and floated right in front of her eyes.
One was golden, seemingly sacred and representing indestructibility, while the other was crimson, chaotic, and deeply evil.
The two powers were distinct and repelled each other, as if they were polar opposite magnets.
Yet, as Liora manipulated them according to the Demonic Body Art, the two gradually grew closer.
The moment the two touched each other, the expected bination did not occur.
Instead, the two shook violently and became unstable. They trembled, looking ready to explode like TNT that had been ignited.
An aura of destruction emanated from them and spread throughout the mansion.
Though Alpha was far away, her pupils shrank, and a shiver ran down her spine.
Fortunately, just when she was worried, about to rush into the room and investigate what had happened, the overwhelming aura retreated.
Liora’s consciousness swept out and suppressed the outburst of the two energies, forcibly bining the two.
With her extraordinary soul and soul will, she quickly succeeded.
The two energies soon became one. The two distinct colors swirled on its surface for a while before turning pitch-black.
In the blink of an eye, a new type of energy had been created in front of Liora.
Demonforce—a unique energy born from practicing the Demonic Body Art.
Though this was merely a tiny portion of it, Liora could already sense its immense aura.
pared to the demonic energy in her body, this Demonforce was many times more powerful. If she were to use it to activate her abilities, their power would be significantly enhanced.
Realizing this, a trace of excitement flashed across her eyes.
However, she did not choose to experiment just yet.
Instead, after taking a deeper look at the Demonforce and analyzing its peculiar structure, she opened her mouth and swallowed it.
The Demonforce quickly integrated with her body, as if the two were originally one.
A faint click echoed, and Liora’s aura flared.
The Demonforce flowed throughout her body and increased her physical strength, and perhaps more importantly, dug into her soul and enhanced its quality.
The overall improvement was minuscule since Liora had only just reached the 1st Level of the Demonic Body Art.
But the significance of this phenomenon was self-explanatory.
Creating a bit of Demonforce had already improved her strength.
If she were to continue practicing and reach the 4th, 5th, or even 6th Level of the Demonic Body Art, just by how much would her strength actually improve?
Thinking of this, Liora found it hard to retain her posure.
Without any hesitation, she resumed the practice of the Demonic Body Art.
This time, she didn’t need to do the bination of the two energies outside.
As her consciousness moved, the Indestructible Matter and demonic energy merged with her body as the vessel, and Demonforce was born.
The first integration took her half an hour, while the second one just a quarter.
Gradually, the time spent became less and less.
But Liora was still not satisfied.
At this rate, it would take her months, if not years, to reach the 4th Level of the Demonic Body Art, much less the levels beyond that.
With that in mind, her mind moved.
The black serpent coiled around finger fired out and appeared above her head, transforming into a tributary of the River of Time.
A translucent droplet fell out of it and dripped on Liora.
Instantly, the time around her blurred, as if she had ascended in dimensions.
Her thinking process became several times more active, while her movements suddenly became extremely fast.
Her consciousness moved, and the Demonforce within her body was now being created at a terrifying rate, several times faster than before.
At least, this was how it seemed from the outside world. But for Liora, nothing had changed.
–
While Liora was working hard to improve her strength, Alpha did not remain idle.
Although Liora had not told her what difficulties she was facing, her rush to bee stronger had already betrayed her inner worries.
As such, even though Alpha could not help her deal with the ining danger, she chose to do her best to support her.
Just like Liora had previously instructed, she "hired" several people to help her take care of the mansion.
Perhaps because she was a puppet herself, Alpha did not choose to purchase slaves or any other sentient creature.
Instead, she specifically bought a bunch of puppets.
Even though these creatures lacked intelligence and were pletely unlike her, a smile couldn’t help but appear on her face as she stared at the hundreds of puppets wandering around the mansion.
pared to fighting, killing, and always being on the run, she very much preferred the serenity of this scene.
Unlike Liora, whose main goal was to bee more powerful and reach the apex of Heavens, Alpha did not have such grand ambitions.
As a puppet, her main purpose was to serve her Lord.
Although she had by now transcended her instincts and was no longer merely a machine, this goal remained engraved on her mind.
Not out of necessity, but out of her own will.
"It would be nice if these days lasted forever...", Alpha couldn’t help but whisper with a smile.
However, when she recalled the previous oppressive aura emanating from Liora’s room, that smile disappeared, and her expression grew solemn once again.
A flicker of determination flashed in her amber eyes.
After taking one final look at her "patriots", she gave a set of instructions before shutting herself in her room.
Even though Liora had not mentioned it, much less requested her help, Alpha was silently preparing herself for the future.
She vowed to bee powerful enough to help Liora deal with the ining danger before that time arrived.
