Sigh...
Vaan couldn't help but sigh after learning about the first eighteen years of his present life.
If he had not overco multiple challenges and glimpsed into his myriads of reincarnations, even he wasn't so sure he could keep his sanity regarding Valefor's childhood experiences. Such a hellish childhood would certainly shape the future course of Valefor's entire life.
As such, it was also easy to imagine how Valefor lived his life after awakening the system. His witch hunts would no doubt attract people to kill him, but also people who would aid in his witch hunts.
From joining a witch-hunting dark organization to becoming a general under one of the Seven Great Devils of Gehenna, Valefor's life was filled with blood and slaughter.
However, his rciless slaughter and rapid improvent made even the Great Devils feel threatened.
'Despite joining Gehenna, Valefor still ended up fighting the Great Devils of Gehenna, huh? Not exactly surprising...' Vaan mused as he went over Valefor's mories.
After all, not all Great Devils desired blood and killing; there were also those who pursued human resources and developnt, such as Hecate.
However, the first Great Devil to bear their fangs at Valefor had unexpectedly been Abaddon. Moreover, it was over a very simple reason - Valefor's rapid growth and path of power threatened his position.
In other words, Abaddon sought to eliminate Valefor before the latter usurped his authority.
Unfortunately for Abaddon, he ended up seeking his own demise. Furthermore, his divine blood beca further fuel for Valefor's rapid growth, alarming the other Great Devils.
'To think Valefor also killed Helcan and Astarte and seriously injured Hecate and phistopheles before Thanatos intervened...' Vaan thought with surprise.
In his opinion, Thanatos had acted quite late.
Furthermore, in Valefor's mories, Thanatos had actually failed to put a stop to Valefor's rampage. The Death Law was unable to kill Valefor's body and soul due to the power of the Blood Law and Eternal Soul.
With Thanatos's greatest power being ineffective against Valefor, Thanatos was beaten terribly, over and over again, for his transgression. Valefor had repeatedly destroyed his body and soul.
However, Thanatos was able to co back to life like an undying fourth-dinsional being. Even so, being reduced to a punching bag dealt a serious blow to Thanatos's ntal state. He was actually beaten so badly that he developed trauma over it and never ca out of his dwelling place again.
As a result, Valefor beca the new Realm Lord of Gehenna.
However, not long after, Valefor started a Realm War with Nightmare. Or rather, Nightmare started a Realm War with him due to the countless witches who died at his hands.
Nevertheless, it surprisingly took a hundred years to reach that point.
Although Valefor had grown rapidly in the beginning with the system, he had also beco overly reliant on the system to improve. As a result, his advancents beca much slower in the later stages.
Moreover, there was also a lack of opportunities in Valefor's tiline. It almost seed like the Red Dragon Clan didn't exist in his tiline.
Valefor never encountered the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk in the underground cave of the Blackmoon Region nor the Divine-rank Stalactite Milk in the subterranean region beyond the moon's dinsional crack.
Even the Great Ratholos Empire's Black Mountain didn't exist in that tiline.
-
Vaan couldn't help but sigh again.
It beca clear that all these opportunities were quite possibly a result of the Lord of Chaos's excessive ddling.
He was practically spoon-fed these opportunities.
'You seal away my knowledge to higher-end cultivation techniques and arts, but you bless with various opportunities? What exactly are you thinking, Lord of Chaos?' Vaan wondered.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
If the Lord of Chaos truly wished to let him develop on his own and open up a new possibility, he shouldn't have ddled with so many changes.
Otherwise, it was no different from being guided.
'I thought I could find so answers in these mories... But while I did find so answers, I've also gained many more questions...' Vaan wryly lanted.
Shortly after dispersing his subspace and returning to the solitary void of space near the moon, Vaan pushed his Fourth Dinsional Sense to the limits.
However, he couldn't discover anything out of the ordinary.
"Lord of Chaos, are you there?" Vaan decided to ask.
Vaan's question was greeted with silence. At first, it seed like his call didn't produce any results.
However, his Fourth Dinsion Sense did, in fact, pick up sothing - The world itself seed to have shuddered ever so subtly as if so outside force had nudged it. Whatever it was, Vaan figured it might have been related to the Lord of Chaos.
Perhaps the Lord of Chaos heard his call but decided not to respond to him or et him. Whichever was the case, Vaan also believed he wasn't ready to et such an apex being. After all, if the Lord of Chaos actually erged to et him, his action could attract the unwanted attention of other powerful beings who might wish for his death. In this case, the Lord of Chaos would have no choice but to rewind ti again or bring him away.
Those were undoubtedly undesirable outcos.
Of course, Vaan could be overthinking the matter and overestimating his importance to the Lord of Chaos. However, he couldn't help but have the nudging feeling that was the situation. "I'm not your elder brother yet. However, I won't keep you waiting much longer," Vaan
uttered.
The worldly dinsion seed to have shuddered subtly again.
Vaan was aware that he was far too weak, and his mories of Varuna were also too incomplete for him to be considered the Lord of Chaos's older brother.
However, that wasn't why the Lord of Chaos didn't co out to et him when he called.
At the end of Valefor's ten thousand years of life, so clues suggested Chaos was divided between the Lord of Chaos and a powerful foe, who even the Lord of Chaos couldn't easily
deal with.
Thinking back on it, Vaan recalled it had been two chaos cycles since Varuna's death.
He wondered if any of the Outer Beings Varuna encountered on his journey outside of Chaos ever found their way to it.
In fact, Vaan couldn't help but wonder if the one who killed Varuna also found its way to Chaos. If there was such a situation, he couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of terrible plight Chaos had found itself in.
Perhaps the Lord of Chaos was also preparing to face such a seemingly undefeatable being.
After all, considering the Lord of Chaos had ddled so much with his mories, he would have also read through all the mories of Varuna and his past reincarnations.
Such a thing didn't seem to be impossible for the Lord of Chaos.
Nevertheless, Chaos's problem was too distant for the current Vaan to be worrying about when he had not even entered the divine rank yet.
More importantly, there were a few places in Pangea he wished to visit.
In Valefor's tiline, Golden Dragon Pangea was completely dead by the ti Valefor had learned of its existence. However, the absence of spirit energy was still an ongoing problem
that everyone still had to face.
That was to say that sothing else was plundering all the spirit energy produced by life on
the planet.
Moreover, the source was hidden sowhere in the depths of the vast ocean.
...
When Vaan returned to the moon's core and passed through the dinsional crack to enter the subterranean region, he did not find Hecate doing anything productive with the pure mana- enriched environnt she had seed to envy.
Instead, he found her playing cards with her three Dreamcatchers.
At the sa ti, Hecate also spotted Vaan staring back at her with mild surprise. Her mind
briefly blanked, but it was unclear for which reason.
"Ah..." Hecate uttered.
"So, you are the reason behind the Lady Dreamcatchers' habit of playing cards, Lady Hecate?"
Vaan casually ntioned with curiosity.
"What?" Hecate blinked before quickly turning to Fourth Dream, chiding her, "See this? I told
you that you shouldn't have suggested playing cards. Now, Sir Vaan thinks little of ."
"What?" Fourth Dream's mind also briefly blanked before she cried with outrage, "But, Mistress, it was-Mmf!"
Alas, before Fourth Dream could finish defending herself against Hecate's blatant accusation,
her mouth was sealed with magic.
"What a disobedient child. How could you talk back to your Mistress?" Hecate chided half-
heartedly before coughing awkwardly, "Ahem, I'm sorry you had to see sothing like that,
Sir Vaan."
"Oh, don't be, Lady Hecate. I'm glad I did, though," Vaan softly chuckled.
"Ahem..." Hecate coughed again before changing the subject, "You succeeded, Sir Vaan?"
Vaan calmly nodded, knowing what Hecate was asking. As such, he also demonstrated his ability to control his Everlasting Blood.
Hecate sensed his blood power and was imdiately stunned by his progress. However, having studied both the Everlasting Blood Mantra and the Divine Blood Refining
Art, Hecate also noticed sothing was different about his blood aura that didn't quite fit
either of the two.
"This... Sothing doesn't seem right about the aura your blood power is giving off, Sir Vaan..." Hecate ntioned with doubt.
"Oh?" Vaan raised an eyebrow before casually explaining, "That is probably because I rged
the Everlasting Blood Mantra and the Divine Blood Refining Art and cultivated it as a single
blood art, Lady Hecate."
"You... did what now?"
Hecate started hyperventilating as her chest heaved up and down due to the shocking news
she had just received.
Vaan had done sothing seemingly impossible and outrageous, but he had also reacted as if
it was nothing special. How could any knowledgeable person react calmly to sothing that shocking?
"Do you know how incredulous of a feat that is, Sir Vaan?" Hecate asked after calming herself
down.
"What about it, Lady Hecate?" Vaan replied calmly.
Hecate's chest started heaving up and down as she felt unnerved by Vaan's nonchalance
despite achieving sothing world-breaking.
At the sa ti, Vaan's gaze followed her chest movents.
