Chapter 643: 9.20.2 Death comes fast.

They were like viruses, rushing around trying to consume the very world that Malidi wished to make his own.

Something which would have been harder for beings of such stature, weak to even pierce the film that encased this domain, but with the cracks caused by the Jellyfish’s tentacle, the way was made and these monsters wreaked havoc across all they came across.

But Malidi was not the kind to endure such problems, no, he was the kind to welcome them with open arms. "Be my sustenance." Multiple marbles reformed into the air instead of being absorbed by Malidi, which started to siphon all these mist like beings that were causing destruction enmasse.

Malidi was a master occultist, a great physician, and even the greatest exorcist to ever set foot in this world. The amount of pathways that Malidi has researched is immense, making him somewhat of a jack of all trades and master of most of them. But if there was one path that he excelled in the most, it would be the oldest and most common method of an exorcist, sealing.

Specifically Demon Sealing Hexes.

The Hexes were simple, Silence, Slow, Stop, Self, Mercy, Karma, Time, and the truest of them all, the Sealing hex.

These were his ultimate skills, the methods through which he even made Lord Emotion Tremble.

As for the true names of these Hexes, none knew of them besides Malidi, and he would kill all those who were unlucky enough to learn of them.

And currently, Malidi was using the truest Hex, a downgraded version of it at least, sealing these beasts in a simple marble, that was soon sent to the different parts of formation that covered the whole garden and had been hidden to most till now.

The last decade was not wasted on Malidi’s end, he had been ready for all sorts of problems. "I can’t wait to dissect you." He spoke to the marbles that kept increasing in numbers. These beasts were fantastical in nature, partly real and partly false. There is a reason why even though they were weak, they never did appear in the countless simulations he had run in his mind even with the support of divination.

Not to mention, these beasts named the Sky Wonders were the curse of all seers. Those unlucky enough to witness their form make themselves susceptible to their cruelty, once you see them, they can harm you. So even if you do learn of this fact, it’s better to act like nothing happened.

But in this place, this nightmare veil, such weakness of these beasts disappear, they can harm you even if you can’t see them. Which is why the whole domain became a playground for them.

"Now that they are dealt with, it’s your time," Malidi spoke, looking toward the two sacrifices he had readied for his ascension. Although some damages have occurred during sudden attacks, they were all expected by him to a certain extent. Not to mention. The wonder in his eyes, when it came to Alabasta, was far stronger than the Priestess.

Her domain was a complete one, capable of solidifying into reality, while Alabasta being still young was incapable of possessing a domain as powerful as hers, the most he could do was use the illusory form of his incomplete domain for teleports and sensing.

But it’s the core of the domain that interested Malidi.

The Cold Corpses can just revive and store the dead for her future use while supplementing her strength and draining others. A combat-based one with little to no value besides acting as raw resources for his ascension. While Alabasta’s domain was far unique, far exceptional when it came to compatibility.

’Destiny Calculations. They will be mine.’

It was a giant calculator of immense complications that kept generating random numbers from time to time, most of which were useless due to the incomplete nature of such a domain, but it was this potential he was after.

You will be the first one." So under the wide eyes of Arbood who looked from the side.

Alabasta’s body started to crack, causing blood to seep out of it. "I bestow upon you, Mercy." With that name, Alabsta’s face stopped moving as the crack became deeper and wider. "Monster." Spoke the Priestess as she watched Alabasta’s life being snuffed out so easily.

And then, with an explosion, his body, soul, and everything was collected by Malidi’s consciousness, which made a pervy smile filled with satisfaction. "Wonderful, the prize was worth it." He spoke, looking toward Arbood, specifically me who hid in Arbood’s body.

"I apologize for harming your old friend.." Those were all the words he said for the death of Alabasta, the man who hunted me for years on end.

’Hah.’ And what can I say, such easy death for that man seemed a bit kind I suppose. I didn’t like this death, not one bit. But not like I had any other choice but to accept the end of that great man.

Hopefully, the disciple he had left shows some promise. Some value that will entrain me for the centuries to come.

"As for you," Malidi spoke, giving the woman a deep look. "Your other trick, I had been aware of it... well, I became aware of it just now." Malidi smiled, his body turning into two, one of which started to turn pale while leaking blood from its mouth. "Let me tell you a secret." The other Malidi spoke, while one of his body started to die off. "My immortality is greatly exaggerated." He spoke as one of his bodies died, turning into what appeared to be crude oil.

"Such understanding of my intentions, even if you didn’t know the goals, you were aware of what to do in order to take me out." During such an important process, if his body was harmed in any way, all the efforts might go to waste. Which can’t be allowed no matter what...

So for someone to carefully create such an opportunity for this priestess, it can be seen that their divination capabilities were far from his own, exceeding the realm of normality and reaching an abnormal level.

"Such a being, I had felt their influence a few times in my life... never expected them to come for my life during such inopportune time." He spoke, giving the Priestess one look and saying. "I am aware you don’t know who they are... but knowing someone of your stature is in touch with them, the connection between your church and them might be far closer than I had expected before."

"So I will come for you once and then. I wish to consume their domain, if they possess one." Malidi appeared demonic at this point, not even letting the priestess speak a word as her body along with her domain was consumed at a far slower pace than one might be expected. Letting her experience the effect of "Mercy" slowly.

A cruel fate that Malidi had never imposed on anyone as of yet. Which showed his genuine anger at the moment.

Fear the anger of a gentleman who never gets angry.

Though calling him a Gentleman would be too much, he was more of a dork unable to truly comprehend the desires of common men. Hence his inability to feel genuine anger most of the time.

"Poisoned again, but far more potent," Malidi spoke, looking to the four corpses that were being consumed not too soon after their death.

"Nightmare’s pet, I will be sending you and the people around you away from this place. You will appear on the seas far from the caves. So don’t drown." With consumption will come digestion, this domain will cease to exist and in its place, a new one will be born with the capabilities of the old one, and such a process can’t be endured by beings like Farhad.

So sending them out was the best option at hand.

As for Arbood, he will be part of this place, reborn anew with the birth of the new realm. Forever to serve it without ever being able to die, or at least till Malidi will exist.

For me, it’s obvious what is going to happen to me. "I do hope you succeed and save my true body," I spoke to the man, the kind of teacher who made me what I am today, although he did hate me somewhat.

"It’s obvious... you are the last ingredient of this recipe, and I would wish for more ingredients from your true body in the future." He spoke, giving me a deep look, a look holding no emotions toward me.

To him, I had been nothing more than a tool, and for now, this tool had reached its eventual end. Now, I will be recycled, adding the aspect of Nightmare to this place, letting it be capable of interfering with that accursed world.

’Ho, he is going to regret it.’ Due to my partial nature, I understood some things only. Malidi knew only as much as I told him about such a world, and I had hidden some special things in case he went back on his words.

"Don’t forget that you need me." With those words, my body started to disintegrate. An end that felt somewhat warm and fuzzy.

******

"His is getting dangerous," Malidi spoke, looking at the devastated void as well as the beast that was eyeing him in the open. But after a while, this beast left after not seeing anything around them.

"Emotion that fool, playing with fire." A week will be needed in the least for his ascension to be completed and in that one week, Malidi hoped to accomplish certain things. Specifically his old servant Dragon.

It would be too stupid to leave his servant’s dead body to rot like this. Better consume it and let it be part of him.
