Chapter 386 Do You Want War? Then You'll Have It!



"...What are you doing here?" Alvine asked while looking at his only companion of the moment, leafing through the books in a library that had been exposed after the destruction of Heepha Castle.

**For the first time, I wanted to know more about their community, their lifestyles, forging knowledge, and their powers.** He answers by leafing through the book continuously while reading the content titled the fusion of Souls.

Hearing his explanations, Alvine looked around him with amazement; apart from the wandering ghosts, the place had no life with a physical body.

'It's a disaster, this guy.' Alvine replied, looking at the back of the spirit of the ring.

...

After an indefinite time, he closed the last book and put them in his shadow as Alvine used to do when he wanted to store inanimate things.

At the same time, Alvine was overwhelmed by the knowledge the other had just acquired, followed by an atrocious headache that led him to unexpected fainting.

...

..

.

'Sigh, I had overestimated his abilities; it's getting worse and worse. - Finally, it has held on far; the spiritual body is more fragile than the physical body, especially when exposed directly without a body envelope. In addition to that, he constantly exposed himself to more ferocious energies without protecting himself. He will be surprised to see his progress when all this is over.' While whispering these words to himself, he continued without interruption.

After a brief moment, Alvine regained consciousness and found himself with his companion of the moment instead of waking up in the real world.

*What are you-- Urgh!*

**Take the time to digest instead of rushing. Your body is safe, so you don't have to worry about it.**

"It's not my only concern; I must also hurry to mine."

**...With yours, huh?**

After this brief conversation, the two remained silent, and time continued to pass slowly as the main character of the moment continued his experiences by practicing what he had just learned in the library.

He didn't need to worry about running out of stock and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

And regardless of him, Alvine also saw what he was doing and understood his intentions without questioning himself too much.

Following this, the first perfect weapon, named Kimiko, relives the day.

As the spirit of the ring had explained, Alvine attended the whole scene without missing a single part, whether it was the fusion of wandering souls and the means by which the spirit of the ring had acquired the flames of primordial demons by absorbing their souls as his other shadow soldiers do.

Everything smoothly went until he returned to his main task; to resurrect the twins.

No matter how much he manipulated their souls to make them return to their bodies, these latter rejected them after a while.

Alvine also frowns, not knowing what produced this phenomenon.

**In your opinion, why do ranks classify beings? The divine, primordial, transcendent and supreme?**

*...I don't have enough knowledge to know more about it. But if I base myself on my current knowledge, I would say that it is their influence on the multiple laws that define the world as we know it,

-The Magi are called deities not because they are gods but because they manage to influence natural laws by raining, creating tsunamis, or causing other natural phenomena by their powers. And it's the same for others, except that they are more skilled with it and are soaked in a more advanced field as their grade increases.*

**Right, this is an acceptable explanation but not entirely correct. Take transcendental beings as an example; no matter how much they have been decapitated or ripped off their hearts, they do not die. Do you know why?**

"..."

**It's because they don't have cores.**

"Huh? Not cores?!" Alvine remained stunned and overtaken by events.

**To be exact, to transcend the primordial rank, a creature or entity needs to break its cores and distribute this energy throughout its body. But many people die during the procedure. Finally, this is not the purpose of my question. Where I wanted to go is supremacy; beings called supreme may be considered gods or invincible entities, but this is not the case.

-Unlike transcendents who destroy their cores to strengthen their bodies and prevent any form of energy from influencing their senses, the--

*Wait, if their cores are destroyed, how are they supposed to die?*

**Nothing could be simpler; just shoot them down with a spell that reduces their bodies to nothingness.**

"Is that what you call simple? The three transcendent beings I met are immune to my physical and magical attacks. They are hurt without being hurt as much; no matter how much I stab them, they feel indifferent to my attacks. The only solution was to kill them with Kimiko. But when they notice the power of my weapon, they will not let themselves be touched a second time."

**Sigh, they're not immune to your attacks, but your attacks are weak and pathetic. When two transcendentals assert in a battle to the death, they usually use the spells of corrosion, large-scale destruction, exterminating flames, or seals to seal the other. Some possess weapons or artifacts of soul destruction. But all these are nothing compared to the affinity you have; it can make you powerful or weak, all dependent on your convictions.

-Shadow had given you this advice, but you had only put it into practice to create elemental spells with your limited will thinking at that time that primordial beings were at the top of the hierarchy. Do not compare yourself to others; exceed the limits that you believe are unreachable.

-Whether it's the laws, the concepts, the power of authorities, not to mention the supreme powers, names don't matter to us; the most important thing is your convictions, your aggressiveness, your trust, and above all, your hatred that tends to be more effective.**

"..."

**-! Sigh, I think you have reached your limits.**

"Huh?" Hearing his sudden statement that had nothing to do with their topic of conversation, Alvine frowns.

But the next moment, he noticed his body becoming more and more transparent.

**Originally, I intended to take matters into my own hands and rectify my mistakes, but after hearing your answers, I understood that you succeeded where I failed. Live well; everything depends on you. This band of weak who call themselves orders are just a bunch of weak people compared to other enemies. That's--

"Hey, why are you talking as if you--

**This is our last meeting; I don't intend to stay with or help you. It's your life, your family, your subordinates, your enemies, your duty, your destiny, and all the other things that have influenced you to create such a difference between us, even though we are the same entity. I don't have the right to control or help you; it will amount to influencing your life.** While pronouncing these words, his body disintegrated into black particles and merged with Alvine's body.

"...What a bastard! He runs away without solving the shit he left behind!" Alvine murmured with a derisory smile.

Following the disappearance of the spirit of the ring, his environment gradually changed, and he found himself in the dark room with Feyre and the executor kneeling before him.

'Tss~, what a hypocrite; even if our souls come from the same sources, I would never be this old version, no matter how powerful I will become or acquire all your memories that were, one day, mine.

-But I thank you for leaving me the choice; although you were empty, I'm glad you ended up having a heart, as cold and empty as it is.' These were his last goodbyes before he focused on the executor.

"I don't care about your motivations or your hatred, but say this to your superiors: If they want war, then they will be served on a silver platter."

[...]

Following this, he focused on Feyre. Crossing the latter's gaze, Alvine sighed heavily before putting away his dark sword.

-Vrrrrr!!

At the same time, a dark portal appeared in front of him.

"Follow me if that's what your subconscious tells you." He retorted one last time before crossing the gate.

At the same time, the pressure that the two felt magically vanished when Alvine left the room.

Then, Without asking herself any more questions, Feyre walked in his steps towards the portal that slowly closed behind him.

[Wait, do you intend to continue to follow this guy?]

"Tsk, I don't follow him; I'm just following the path that leads me to the hidden truths of the universe and the purpose of our existence. And if I have to walk with the god of calamity, it won't bother me as long as I can achieve my goal." She retorted after a look at the Executor.

[If you cross this portal, you will become our enemy for good, and your death will only be inevitable!]

"Tsk, pronounce words you believe yourself, not meaningless threats." She retorted before crossing the gate, followed by its closure.

Meanwhile, on the chaotic planet of Freydja, Reha floated among the rubble with dark eyes that attested to her rage.

At the same time, Zenof went out into a blood-red portal with Aither on his back, followed by Corrupt and Freyja, which was severely injured.

"Your Highness, we have failed in our mission." Freyja took the lead and reported.

"..."

The others remained silent, including Freyja, when they noticed Reha's heavy silence.

"...Sigh, I thought living in peace and out of everyone would allow me to stay in peace, but apparently, there is no peace in this world. Problems always come knocking on our doors when we least wait for them." She murmured as she looked at the chaos she had created by confronting Shadow.

"..."

The others remained silent without daring to interrupt her.

"Go to the island; Echidna is waiting for you on-site. Meanwhile, I will do what I should have done from the beginning." She continued her explanations by opening a greenish portal.

But just before the others crossed it, a gigantic black portal suddenly manifested without notice.

Unsurprisingly, Alvine's silhouette appeared outside the portal, followed by Feyre, who followed him from afar.
