Chapter 275: World Spirit

"Depending on the situation, this is not a betrayal, but why would I even take the risk to do this for you?"

William asked. He want to know how good the power Solomon offered was before accepting anything.

"Have you met Sion? Don't you want to know how she does that?" Solomon said with a knowing smile.

He knew he already had William in his grasp.

Meanwhile, back in the realm, Alex was making his underground tunnel. He manipulated his blood like a drill to create a huge circular maw.

It then started spinning, creating a decent-sized tunnel for him to walk through. Vesa followed Alex as he needed her to eat the world seed.

But even though Vesa's body was here, her soul was still linked with MingYue, allowing her to provide support as needed.

She could also use some life force to create weaker clones to help her in a fight if needed.

As he walked through the created tunnel, Alex took the dirt, rock, and any material into his storage ring. He didn't know how, but maybe in the future, it would be useful.

If he could master the runes to mold this material directly, Alex already had an idea to create a mobile fortress in this way.

He even had some thoughts of making a robot in reality if it was possible.

He could create one with all the resources he had, but it would be useless in real combat against Awakeners. It might be useful for commoners to fight monsters, but the cost was not worth it.

Otherwise, the association would already be doing it.

Nowadays, robots are just used to help in construction projects to expand the city quickly.

As he thought of runes, he then remembered Vesa's real identity as a world spirit, "Since you say you are a world spirit, can you tell me what happened in my world?"

"What does King mean?"

"The dark zone, the world is expanding quickly.

Is this because the world spirit is growing and becoming sentient?"

"In my case, before I matured, my old master took me, nourished me, then enhanced me.

Normally, a world spirit will have many limitations.

Only a select few could manipulate the size of their world or grow like me.

Each of them has intervention from strong beings; maybe there are rare cases, but based on all current circumstances, like the existence of dungeons, I am sure this is done by someone else.

No sane world spirit would allow dungeons like that to exist."

"What do you mean by that?"

"After a few travels, I concluded that dungeons are different from secret realms.

In the case of secret realms, it's just a portal to travel, but dungeons even break the natural law of the world.

It's like having a wound on your body, then letting it fester; the more dungeons exist, the more wounded and pained the body is."

Alex sighed, as this meant things were even more complicated now. It could be said that his world spirit was already conquered by something else.

"What if that crystal is destroyed? Does that mean Edonia will, too? And what about the fog?"

"The fog is a remnant from the last battle.

What I actually do now is consume the world's energy and use it to counter this fog, opening new areas. As this place is new, I could then shape it as we wanted."

"I see. Making plains for people to farm and a water source should be more important, but how would the world work then?" Alex asked. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As far as he knew, the world functioned thanks to many factors.

Gravity allowed the planet to stay on its course and keep spinning around the sun; the heat came, warming the planet.

It then created climate, atmosphere, ocean currents, and many other things.

Every single factor is important; losing one will disrupt the entire system.

"That is because the world's law is complete on your planet. We have two laws governing.

First is the universe law; it controls gravity, the solar system, and many other things that neither I nor the progenitor know about.

Second is world law; it was built from the foundation of the universe law, giving out its own flavor.

This is why some worlds have mana or different climates. Some will even burn with heat nonstop or be cold all the time.

As for King's question, as the world law is incomplete, it's me who upholds all of it."

"In that case, why is there a need to separate you? I just don't get it.

With Alucard's knowledge, he should have many ways to do this."

"Based on my old master's personality, I honestly think he did this on purpose to make me start fresh, too.

I honestly doubt the other Vesa rebelling and becoming a monster is outside of his speculation. He should have known, then made it on purpose."

"I see. At that point, if we can defeat the Vesa, that means whatever we achieve now is better than what was left there." Alex then realized it was the truth.

Alucard had told him his Progenitor origin was nothing more than an ignition to start the process. The rest was up to him and MingYue to fill.

'So this is the road he created. Then how could we achieve power beyond a progenitor that is created by the universe itself?'

Alex wondered as he continued digging deeper into the center of the planet.

Meanwhile, up on the ground, MingYue made her path, flying around to look for Luciel. But the world was vast.

She had already gone around and still hadn't found her.

She had gone in the direction Vesa last mentioned, but the place was empty when she reached it.

She then started thinking of possibilities, 'Vesa, do you think the Aspect of Gluttony is evading me on purpose?'

'That is very possible. After all, it's only a matter of time before the world collapses.

Rather than fighting against the Queen, which could result in her losing, she took a safer way.'
