Chapter 260 Complete The Last Preparations.
"In the name of the authority of my lord, I invoke the realm of void!"
(Realm of void?! Why did he change the incantations? Now that I think about it, even if these three use my skills, their powers are more destructive and more skillful than me with these powers. My stealth skill is far lower than Luna\'s, even if my mastery of affinity is superior to hers. As for this guy who uses two scythes simultaneously, he is more skillful with these scythes than me. Greed is no exception; no, I would say that this crazy bastard has years of light ahead of me! But I have never heard of the kingdom of emptiness. Could it be the completed form of my universal law?!)
Alvine\'s thoughts instantly froze in his brain when he noticed the appalling scene in front of him.
-VWOOOOOO!!
As soon as he finished his final incantation, the orb shone with a blinding glow that forced Luna to look away. Still, Greed\'s sinister laughter continued to resonate in chaos like a demonic god who contemplated his masterpiece.
"Kukuku, kahkahkahkah!! It\'s fantastic! Absolutely beautiful! It is an honor for insignificant bastards like you to have the privilege of tasting the power of our lord! Being able to die instantly without having the time to cry desperately is the compassion that I would grant you for being able to entertain us in this short moment. Kahahahahhaha....!!!
(...) upon hearing Greed\'s unpleasant howl laughter, Alvine remembered why he gave the nickname Greed to this magus-soldier.
In just ten seconds, the orb had devoured more than half of the troops five kilometers away from it!
It only took a minute for the orb to eradicate the millions of lives that were pitifully trying to retreat but without success.
(...That is destiny that awaits all those who are weak.) Alvine could not help but whisper for himself in the face of the cruelty of the scene that took place in front of him; he would not be surprised to acquire the title of \'lord of calamity\' if he had the system with him at the moment. But contrary to what he expected, he had neither compassion nor pity for these people but feelings of emptiness and indifference in the face of their tragic destinies.
(Sigh, I guess it\'s not just my body, but my soul has also mutated since I reincarnated in this world. Even if I hate this feeling, I can\'t help thinking about the gains and numbers of my soldiers who will evolve after absorbing these many souls. Ahhh, fuck~ how frustrating it is to have such thoughts in front of such a massacre. These people are not my enemies, but I was still at the origin of their extermination. From now on, I can no longer afford to be among the innocent.)
He continued these thoughts by contemplating the apocalypse created by three of his subordinates.
After killing all those who had passed through the portals, the force of attraction of the orb suddenly increased following the increase in the size of the orb!
Seeing this, Luna and the scythe-soldier withdrew and stood next to Greed without being affected by the force of attraction of the orb to calmly contemplate the billions of people, beasts, demons, energies, oceans, debris, etc., struggle pitifully by trying to change their tragic destinies.
But regardless of their struggles, none of them had been able to escape since the force of attraction of the orb increased every second as it absorbed more energy, hence the nickname \'BLACK HOLE\' that Alvine had given to this law.
(I had doubts at first, but now I\'m sure; as my shadow soldiers are specialized in a specific field, they have managed to perfect the skills they have, unlike me, who is a versatile mage. In front of such a scene, I am obliged to admit that being a versatile mage does not only bring advantages. Although I am convinced that I can exercise such power, I had no idea before. Just like when Greed prevented Ashiaphir from rebelling by sealing her movements, I once again learned from him.)
After about an hour, Alvine noticed that the force of attraction of the orb had become so great that it began to influence the planets themselves after absorbing all forms of life and energy around it. Planets that no longer had 1/10 of their original sizes gradually came out of the five portals toward the orb that now looked like a giant sphere the same size as a small planet!
But as soon as the orb swallowed the core of the first divine planet, its size decreased drastically to the size of a golf ball, but unlike its size, its magnetic fields and force of attraction were fivefold simultaneously!
(So, if I understood correctly, this orb evolves as it absorbs material? After devouring the core of a divine planet, instead of stopping, he regained his original size while condensing almost all of the energy it had absorbed to store it in the divine core it had just devoured!? What is the nature of this orb? Greed called this spell void realm. Was he talking about the inside of this orb? Sigh, even if my coldness surprises me, I can\'t help but compliment them by seeing the efficiency and ingenuity they showed during this mission.)
Thus, it only took another minute to annihilate the other four golden cores!
But the orb, which was as greedy as Greed, always wanted more!
But as there was only emptiness left, the place where the orb floated gradually cracked.
"Greed, disable this spell; our lord is not yet ready to face the enemies who are outside this dimension. If we try to satisfy the greed of this orb, we will lose more time; this amount of energy is more than enough to allow the Lord to reach the intermediate divine rank. For now, let\'s go back." Luna\'s voice echoed by noticing the space cracks around the orb.

After attending from beginning to end, Alvine withdrew her hand from Luna\'s forehead while looking at her with complex eyes.
"You\'ve done a good job; you can leave now." These were the only words he was finally able to announce.
But seeing Alvine compliment his subordinates for massacring billions of living beings, Linn gulped, unable to react in time.
"Satisfying your desires is the goal of our existence, my lord." Luna and Greed responded together as the three bowed to Alvine.
"Very well, in the absence of Darka, Greed, you will assist Luna to help others evolve. Your priority is to help others evolve with souls that are more compatible with their elemental powers. After their evolutions, you will fairly share purify souls to try to evolve to the next stage too." Alvine gave these instructions without paying attention to Linn.
"We will proceed according to your orders, my lord."
"Very well, if possible, give offer the purified souls of the imps to your comrade here present, the skills of the imps will be perfectly adapted with his own. So let him absorb all the other souls purify from the imps you had defeated and also those who were absorbed by the orb until it evolves." He announced while tapping the scythe-soldier\'s shoulder.
"I have high expectations of you, don\'t let your comrades leave you behind this time. I want you to evolve and become the worst nightmare of my enemies and all other living creatures that will be standing in front of you." He said with a touching smile as he stared at the Scythe Shadow Soldier\'s threatening green pupils.
\'The first time of your evolution failure is partly my fault for not giving you a specific goal before you start your evolution. But this time, it will be different. Not only for you but also for everyone else.\' He continued in his thoughts with a sinister smile on his lips, watching the scythe-soldier constantly nod his head.
Even if he could not express himself with words, Alvine could feel his euphoric joys through their soul links.
"One last one, I don\'t want to see any of them with a lower rank. Send them this message from me." Alvine added in seriously as he looked at his subordinates in turn.
"Your desires are orders, my lord. With such resources at our disposal, we will not disappoint you!" Luna was the first to respond, followed by Greed and the other, who made a chivalrous greeting after hearing her lord\'s orders.
Then, he takes the orb into Luna\'s hands with sinister eyes.
"Well, you can leave now and start working." As soon as he said these words, the three shadow soldiers turned into black mist and returned to his shadow.
"I see that Lady Rina created a monster in her image without even realizing it," Linn whispered while looking at Alvine.
The latter ignored her while sitting on the ground and placed the black sphere in front of him, and then closed his eyes to begin his meditation.
Barely a thousandth of a second after placing his hand on the sphere, the sphere released an astronomical amount of aura that naturally entered Alvine\'s body as if it were the mana he had stored in the sphere.
Linn’s frowning was accentuated when she noticed that Alvine had just absorbed an amount of energy equivalent to fifty stones of Odins instantly! \'This guy is a real problem. It is the first time I don\'t want to have someone as an enemy.\' She said to herself while sitting on the bed to observe Alvine\'s dazzling and abominable progression.
\'With a 100% pure divine aura, completing the process of transforming my aura will be child\'s play.\' He said to Himself with beads of sweat that began to appear on his forehead because of the amount of astronomical energy he received per second.
-Ugh!! After a minute, he frowned, feeling a sudden pain in his heart and bones as he continued.
"Hey, if you continue like that, you will die of exhaustion!" Linn stammered these words when she saw Alvine bleed his eyes and ears as time passed.
But instead of listening to Linn, Alvine accelerated the energy absorption speed by placing his other hand on the sphere!
As soon as he made this gesture, the orb began to agitate under his hands and slowly floated in the air before stopping ten centimeters above Alvine, who had a sweaty and bloody body!
-Cough! cough!!
Instead of a few drops of blood, He spat a sip of black blood while his other upper orifices continued to bleed constantly like a river, making him look like a wandering ghost that had been tortured to death.
"Tsk, Tsk, this bastard!" Linn swore these words and took out a long golden spear of fifteen meters in her spatial storage and approached Alvine and then tore his shirt!
She then bit her thumb and drew an archaic ruin on Alvine\'s chest with her blood and stood behind him by pointing the tip of her spear behind Alvine\'s left shoulder blade and the dagger with her spear!!
-Keuuhh!!!
"What are you... Cough!!" When he realized that Linn had just stabbed his heart directly, Alvine opened his wide eyes, spitting more blood!
"I\'m sorry, but I can\'t allow such a thing to happen after all the sacrifices and humiliation I\'ve suffered during this year of your fault. Fufu~, don\'t worry; I\'ll try to make it less painful than possible!!"
