Chapter 1115: Chapter 112: You Might Lose Chapter 1115: Chapter 112: You Might Lose “Erasing the consciousness of the Demon God of the Seven Calamities is not as difficult as we had imagined, for the power of this epic has already dwindled significantly in this world.” Michaela walked behind Muria.

“I know.” Muria extended his palm, from which seven different powers spiraled out, revolving over his hand, as he had gathered all the powers of the Demon God of the Seven Calamities.

However, this ‘all’ does not refer to the total amount, but to the complete variety of powers. It was impossible to gather all the scattered powers of the Demon God of the Seven Calamities in this world, as most of it had already been assimilated by the world.

Epics, as long as they don’t harbor hostility, whether dead or alive, are very much welcomed by the world, at the very least not opposed. This is because epics have a significant impact on the world’s ascension.

Just like the original Demon God of the Seven Calamities, when he disintegrated his Body of Myriad Spirits to merge with the world, the world almost accepted it without any resistance. After acceptance, came assimilation and integration, a very direct process.

This resulted in the powers of the Demon God of the Seven Calamities in this world decreasing over time, as his disintegrated body was digested by the world, becoming part of the world itself.

This outcome left Muria feeling deeply disappointed, but he was helpless and also somewhat prepared, as there had already been indications of this in the process of external wars and expansions.

Compared to various awakening powers inherited by this world, the leftover power of the epic from the Seven Calamities Demon God was far too little, not at all commensurate with his strength.

Take, for instance, the Power of Yama that Muria was born with, how many wielders of this power are there? At its peak, their number did not exceed four digits.

And what status does this group of power wielders hold in this world? Before Muria took over, the Gai Nation was just a subsidiary of the strongest nation on the Ymir Plain, surrounded by a host of smaller countries with comparable strength.

If it were just an ordinary power, then such achievements could be considered decent, but with the ‘epic’ label, those achievements seem rather meager.

Muria had been surprised by this, but he had conceived a hypothesis that the Gai he belonged to was merely a small branch, with a much more powerful Yama Clan existing outside the Ymir Plain.

But when he actually stepped out of the Ymir Plain and surveyed the entire world, he discovered that the Yama Clan he envisioned simply did not exist. The Gai Nation was, in fact, the most successful bearer of the Power of Yama.

Apart from the inheritors of the Power of Yama, the bearers of other powers were also just getting by; some were even particularly miserable.

Take, for example, his subordinate officer Eric, whose epic power was almost extinct. If Muria had not discovered him and supported him, the power he inherited would have vanished from this world.

That an epic would face extinction deliberately to resurrect sounds like a joke, but that is indeed the reality, such incidents do happen.

Such absurd events, while initially surprising, begin to inspire a sense of dread upon deeper contemplation.

“The Demon God of the Seven Calamities was resurrected before, and there are legendary tales left behind from each of his resurrections in this world,” Muria said, looking towards some books laid on the table in the great hall, all of which were the materials he had gathered.

“These legends exist, which means every time this epic tried to resurrect, he failed.”

Muria’s gaze turned to Michaela; previously, he thought that the epic’s failures in resurrection were solely due to the contingencies left by epics including Michaela’s ancestors.

But after fully understanding the life story of Michaela’s birth and growth in this world, Muria dismissed his previous conjecture, the failures of the Seven Calamities Demon God in resurrection were not due to the tracked methods left by those epics.

Time passes, and things change, the lands shift, and with the passage of time, everything changes; nothing is eternal. Even the schemes of beings as powerful as epics will eventually lose effectiveness.

The Guangyao Kingdom, where Michaela was born, is the best proof; this nation created by a contingency of a Blazing Sky God has, through the long passage of time, completely forgotten its origins.

They have forgotten where they came from, and the power left by the Blazing Sky God has become tainted through countless successions, gradually losing any connection to the Blazing Sky God.

The entire nation began to become like other countries in this world, chaotic, bloodthirsty, advocating the supremacy of power.

Amidst the overall decline of the entire nation, Michaela was born into the Guangyao Kingdom through the bloodline of the Blazing Sky God Race. However, in the royal family that had long ago lost their mission and forgotten everything, Michaela faced an assassination attempt right after her birth.

And this was merely to weed out those royal heirs who had enough potential, actual power, and the right to survive and thrive.

Normally, the contingency left by the Blazing Sky Gods would never do such a thing, but regrettably, this contingency had been assimilated by the World, becoming incredibly cold-hearted.

Thus, left with no other choice, Michaela could only use the source power to resolve the crisis she encountered immediately upon being born. She survived and garnered the loyalty of many powers, because the strength she exhibited at birth made many see a promising future in her.

The contingency left by the Blazing Sky Gods had turned out this way, and naturally, those left by other Epics hadn’t fared much better, having essentially forgotten their respective missions.

The Guangyao Kingdom had the boon of Michaela’s birth, which purified all filth within the royal bloodline and led them to regain their glory, but other nations were not so fortunate.

Some nations might have already perished, and some of these might have even been the handiwork of Muria, though he himself couldn’t tell anymore.

“When the Demon of Seven Disasters first resurrected, the contingency left by your ancestors might have been involved, but in the subsequent resurrections, it was entirely the native powerhouses of this World who were fighting against him,” said Muria.

“That’s just a hypothesis based on those myths and legends; there’s no actual evidence,” Michaela shook her head in response to Muria’s words.

“But it’s very close to the truth. This World is not only assimilating the power of the Demon of Seven Disasters but also the powers left by your ancestors,” Muria said with a tone of melancholy as he disclosed a most horrifying fact.

“Based on your reasoning, do you know who you must face as your most formidable enemy in this birth?” Michaela scrutinized Muria.

“I do,” Muria smiled wryly. “The greatest enemy isn’t the Demon of Seven Disasters himself; he isn’t the greatest hindrance. The biggest obstacle is the World he is in.”

Muria had collected the mythical stories produced every time the Demon of Seven Disasters resurrected, and also referenced the histories of various nations, then made a startling discovery.

Whenever the Demon of Seven Disasters resurrected, numerous heroic characters of protagonist caliber would appear within this World, forcefully reducing the epic figure back to an unconscious state.

At first glance, it seemed that the epic figure was embarrassingly suppressed by a native of the Medium-sized World, but after gathering enough information, it was clear that it was the World itself that had really pushed the epic back.

Going in might have been easy, but coming out was hard, perfectly describing the Demon of Seven Disaster’s predicament at that time. The haven that once enabled him to escape pursuit had now become a prison – no, not a prison, it was a gluttonous Giant Beast.

And Muria’s current intention to plunder the power of this epic figure was akin to stealing food from the maw of this gluttonous Giant Beast, an act completely intolerable.

“Now that you know, you must make a choice. The opportunity to use source power and comprehend the World Law, versus obtaining all the remaining power of an epic. Which will you choose?”

Michaela looked at Muria with a playful smile, undoubtedly, a tough choice. If it were about obtaining the full power of an epic in their prime, there would be no need to choose.

But now, the power of this epic had already been nearly fully assimilated by the World, a process that is essentially irreversible. What Muria could obtain was merely the “leftovers” that the World had “eaten.”

And if Muria were to attempt to snatch this leftover, he would undoubtedly outrage the World Will. The chaos in the World was caused by this self-destructing epic, and the turmoil was also the price the World had to pay for devouring the Demon of Seven Disasters completely.

Muria mitigating the chaos of the World, bringing it back into order, would indeed benefit the World, and he could thus gain source power from it. But that didn’t mean he could just take away the remaining power of the Demon of Seven Disasters that the World most desired.

“There will be many more opportunities to gain source power in the future, but a chance to obtain another epic’s power may not come again!” Muria responded with a grin.

“But this time, you might end up at a loss,” Michaela warned him with a smile, “You’ve invested nearly a unit of source power, and the source power you’ve gotten from this World will also vanish because you’ve taken the Demon of Seven Disasters’ power, not to mention losing the chance to comprehend the World Law. It’s hard to estimate your loss here.”

“I won’t be at a loss, once I gain control of all the power of the Demon of Seven Disasters, its value will definitely exceed the source power I’ve lost, it’s just that the gains won’t be as great as I had expected,” Muria corrected Michaela, affirming that there would definitely be no loss.
