CHAPTER 278
When his teacher first introduced his new awakening method Olivia had been impressed enough to call on her true self. This second time, an aura shield cast by Olivia had been his only protection. Unsurprisingly, it was nowhere near enough. When the primordial finally vanished once more and Greg was freed from the paralysis spell Olivia had cast on him, he had not been in control of himself. The common human experience was a rational mind feeling lust. In the time following the primordial's disappearance, Greg had been reduced to nothing but lust, with some fragment of rationality barely attached to it. At the time, his teacher was the one to suffer the fall out of the overwhelming lust. Though, if her moans were anything to go by, 'suffering', wasn't the best word to describe what she had experienced. The only other time that Greg had encountered the true primordial, Morpheus had been in control of his body and had all too easily ignored the primordial's aura of lust. Having already b

A sigh left Greg as he found himself forced to play a card he hadn't thought he would have to for a long time yet. Turning to his familiar, Greg looked her in the eyes as he asked. "Do you think your true self would be inclined to help?" There was silence at the table for a beat after the question was asked. Olivia regarded him for a while, and Greg was almost certain that she would ask him what she was talking about trying to pretend that she didn't know what he meant. Instead, she asked a different question. "How long have you known?" She posed, her expression neutral. "I've had my suspicions for a while. Back in my hometown, when we were following Nolruk, you told me that you belonged to a higher life order than I. After learning about the different life order tiers from Morpheus, I estimated that you likely were at the ascendant tier, which you later confirmed when you were teaching me how to merge my willpower with my spell casting. After that, I often wondered why you weren'
CHAPTER 276
Only chaos and void are laws unto themselves. Everything else is governed by one or more laws," his familiar answered him. "Like the deity you are linked to told you, this black zone is a mix of two laws, space and inevitability. To undo the zone, he plans to condense these two laws into law crystals. As things currently stand, the remnant laws are spread out over a large enough area to match a whole nation. Depending on which law is dominant, one crystal may be larger than the other, but they will generally be about the size of your closed fist once he's done. The world serpent wants the law crystal associated with inevitability," she finally explained what the world serpent was asking for. "Except if we condense the two crystals, we'd be in no position to keep her from taking more than she claims she wants. We'd be lucky if we walked away with our lives," Greg said, unable to help a note of bitterness as he gave voice to the real crisis they faced. Olivia nodded in agreement, ha
CHAPTER 275
When Morpheus' chair finally turned back around, he had half a mask covering the right side of his face and a white Persian cat held to his bosom by his left arm while his right hand gently stroked it like some James Bond villain. Although half his face was covered, Greg could tell by the expression on the remaining half that the deity had probably made the same calculations. They were at a complete disadvantage no matter which path they took. "I will need time to consider your proposal," he said, this time not throwing out some cliché line despite the guise he took on. That the deity was playing for time was painfully clear. Still, rather than try to threaten him or force the issue, the world serpent just smiled and added a simple condition to her offer of help. "You have until your airship crosses into the city. If I have no answer from you by then, I'll consider my offer of help rejected," she said. Greg could read between the lines. The threat wasn't a direct one where she would
CHAPTER 274
In the end, neither party committed to anything. To beings like them, a decade of sleeping could be considered resting one's eyes. The world serpent was thus unbothered as Morpheus spent almost an hour scouting the city that was apparently at the center of this black zone. As if he had an invisible camera zipping from place to place, the screen he'd conjured had shown various areas of the city. According to the world serpent, she had tweaked the laws of this zone several hundred years back. In that time, the city had grown into the tens of thousands. This was still a rather small figure going by the standards of his former world where cities often held millions of people. Unlike in his former world, however, this city was entirely cut off from the rest of the world and forced to be self-sufficient. That it could sustain such a population was actually impressive. Much as the World serpent had warned them of an eighth or possibly ninth-tier mage., the truth on the ground was far worse
CHAPTER 273
Attacking it would be no different from attacking someone's shadow and hoping to hurt them. The actual beast was the size of a freight train in terms of thickness and spread out on the ground below them for kilometers in every direction. There was zero doubt in Greg's mind that all its senses were fixed on this little vessel. There was zero chance they'd be able to make a move without it noticing and immediately countering. Greg turned back to Morpheus to find the cowboy gone. This time, Greg couldn't keep his face from falling onto his palm as he found a somewhat chubby man in a black suit, and a fedora, covering a head of black hair that seemed gelled back. This time, there was a lit cigar sticking out of the right side of his mouth and Greg could pick up on some cologne wafting through the air. Reaching up and pulling the cigar from his mouth, Morpheus spoke in a gruff but distinctly Italian accent. "Look, no one is trying to muscle in on your turf, alright? This is all just an u
