Chapter 332 Assimilation

Chapter 332 Assimilation

Assimilation was a simple process, but it can also be said to be complex because it has more to do with the conviction of the individual.

While assimilation will bring a ruler to the full realization of his authority, it will also bring him to the detrimental effect of his flaw which is a prize to pay.

Assimilation simply means becoming one with that sin in all forms and concepts, accepting a change wherever it may be. As far as history goes, Assimilation has always caused rulers to change, the most humble becomes a prideful existence that looks down on everyone, a hardworking young boy becomes a very lazy kid who can't help but sleep, a calm and peaceful young man becomes one that can't help but get angry.

It was different for each of the rulers. When they accept the sin and let it take its root in them, a seed is formed. That seed must now be nurtured to grow after it ripens, something great happens... that we will get to see in the future.

Raith in this dark sea was assimilating with his sin. There wasn't a fancy feel to it all he had to do was close his eyes and bring his focus to within himself. Enter his own soul core and find the sin of greed.

Which was not easy because his soul core was full of nothing but darkness, so he walked and walked and walked in his soul core.

It was a brief moment but inside his soul core where the flow of time was tremendously different from that of reality, Raith had spent seventy years finding the sin of greed. n-)o-.v--e))l))b--1--n

Gladly the concept of hunger and thirst wasn't effectualized in the soul core, although that of tiredness was. So even though Raith did not feel the need to eat or drink anything for those seventy years, his legs gave out and he would stand again and they would give out again but he wouldn't stop moving forward.

There were times were the soles of his feet had rotten from walking so much, that he went on all fours and began to crawl. When his knees began to show the same effect, he stood back to his feet–by then, they had healed to a certain degree.

This was how he spent seventy years in just seventy minutes, looking for the sin of greed which he finally found, a black flame dancing in the air in between two towering mountains that looked like it was a single mountain cleaved apart by a mighty giant sword.

Raith climbed up, he was a good climber thanks to the abyss. After he got to the top of the mountain, what was left was to jump onto the other part of the mountain, of course, he wouldn't reach there, he would drop right into the middle which was where the flame was.

On the first trial, he tripped on a stone and slipped as he leaped. He didn't make it to the middle before he started falling.

Even after smashing his body against the stony ground with a sickening thud, he did not die, however, a crude pain soared around his body, threatening to tear it apart.

Still with much endurance and conviction, he picked himself back up and climbed the mountain again. Careful this time as he leaped, he finally caught the flame.

This was when an insatiable greed gripped him.

The sin offered tremendous power, with no trial of any sort. The effect of the flaw was already enough trial.

Raith opened his eyes with a spark of black flames burning in them. His red and black heterochromia eyes slowly faded and became pitch black, grim, and void of life, as if they were trapped in a fog of dead souls.

"Aaargghh!!!"

He let out a sharp deafening scream as the root of the sin began to spread in his core and form into a seed. Black veins could be seen crawling all over his face and even his skin as he raised his head to the sky, screaming in pain.

lightsΝοvel.cοm Sparks of black flame with a little hue of white continually danced in his eyes and after a couple of seconds, he slumped to the ground, all his strength lost.

Finally, for the second time, the voice of the world reached him. It was a majestic feminine voice that every race besides humans on earth and inhabitants of Theruts were used to.

CONGRATULATIONS

YOU HAVE FULLY ASSIMILATED WITH THE SIN OF GREED.

Another message resounded in the mind of everyone who could hear the voice of the world.

A NEW RULER HAS BEEN BIRTHED.

While the voice of the world announced these things, it wasn't obligated to give the details. The voice of the world is just a natural phenomenon of the wheel of cosmology that was in charge of the documentation of everyone's skill and growth.

Raith groaned and panted as he tried to stand up, it was beginning to take its root in him. Without delay, he began to feel a passion to dominate the world and have everything under his feet.

But the feeling was short-lived.

The voice of the world spoke again.

DUE TO FULL ASSIMILATION...AN EVOLUTION WILL BEGIN.

Another set of pain gripped Raith by his bones, this time. His bones broke and mended themselves. Raith cried and screamed till tears poured out of his eyes, he had to keep dealing with the pain of his bones twisting, his muscles tearing apart and reforming, his organ being punctured by the twisting and breaking borns but also self-repairing only to be damaged when the bone makes another crazy twist and breaks creating a sickening sound.

After a long while it was done.

Raith lay in the pool of blood that slowly colored water (the area where he lay) red.

CONGRATULATIONS

YOU HAVE EVOLVED TO A HIGH HUMAN

DUE TO EVOLUTION, YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW ORIGIN SKILL

Raith felt peace was upon his entire body like water, but at the back of his mind, he was cautiously on the outlook for whatever may be next now.

After a few seconds, he sat up and looked into his palms.

"Is my ties with the abyss severed?"
