Chapter 203: The abominable path of the Heaven Domination
Chapter 203: The abominable path of the Heaven Domination
Mark's World Space was built using a World Core—the one he got from the Hunter World. Having entered into that hidden space, of course, the Savage World would want Mark's World as its own.
It could grow stronger by eating Mark's World, why wouldn't it?!
Inside Mark's World Space, the dark night sky was suddenly illuminated in bright blue colors and the people living there all looked up in a strange sense of awe. They were originally all Savage World inhabitants and suddenly, they felt their heartstrings being touched.
"Such a homely feeling, and it's been so long since I saw true light that's not from fire…" someone muttered.
Yuri looked curiously into the skies, too.
On the other hand, Reol'ran, who floated in the atmosphere like a majestic fairy, had a grim expression. She didn't understand what Mark was thinking, and she found everything incredibly reckless.
Bringing wolves to our houses, he is mad! She cursed inwardly.
The bright colors in the sky split apart to form an egg-like shape, then it began to take the form of a vertical eye. All the pieces of Savage World's Will that had entered Mark's World Space were conflagrating in the sky!
The World Will was amassing strength.
There were some fundamental forces in the universe that one couldn't play with and World Wills were one of those. Like mortals were said not to play with fire and water, she had been taught that lesson as a child.
Don't try to mess with World Wills.
If Mark made a contract with other Hunters, Demons, or Savages, unless she also allowed to be part of it, it wouldn't be valid. But when it came to World Wills, such tricks didn't work. A promise with it was akin to a definite fact.
That's why she had never even tried that with Mark's contracts with World Wills. For example, the contract of the Dream Gamble. She never messed with it, half out of fear and another half out of curiosity.
A vertical eye indifferently stared down at her and she felt chills in her very soul. It wasn't even staring at her Will, but directly at the body trapped inside the iced waters of the River of Destiny. Her sealed body.
This was it.
A true Eye of Heavens themselves.
"World Will, my husband was irrational and disturbed you," she said. "Why don't you leave this place? I know you can understand, in return, we will also leave your World."
Even she felt foolish saying such meaningless words. Does this partial piece of the World Will even have enough power to harm us? Is Mark betting on it being weaker because its world is on the other side?
Suddenly, the Eye trembled and she felt an irrational urge to bow down and worship. Her mind began going haywire. Her gaze grew icy cold, but her knees couldn't help but bend slightly.
A mountain pressed down on her back.
It's… powerful.
Suddenly, a masculine back appeared in front of her and as she failed to hold on, she fell onto that back, her hands unconsciously surrounding the neck.
Mark.
"How rude. You come into someone else's home and try to make their wife bow to you?" Mark said coolly. "Sorry to you, but she only bows for me."
Reol'ran felt stupefied. It has an aura powerful enough to suppress my Will with just a glance, you are just asking for it!
The Eye stared at Mark the same way it stared at her, as if wanting to make him bow, make his knees bent. But Mark stood straight, his golden eyes turning into a cold, icy abyss.
"Mark…" she said, surprised. He was even supporting her 'mountain' and staying completely still. "How?"
Mark said with a cheeky wink. "I have the unbreakable will of a God, like, you know, one of those dragons among men. I only bow when I feel like it."
Bullshit.
He pulled her up into his back, taking advantage of this moment to even touch her a bit inappropriately.
"You are too worried, Ran," he said. "It's actually simple. I have had this same thought for a while, and now, I can confirm it. This World Space, it is not only my territory, it's also something else's home. And no one liked others invading their homes."
In the sky, the Eye of Heaven transformed into a feminine figure. Jade, unnaturally perfect skin, a somewhat picturesque figure and all those stuff fused into one. It was a Will of the Heavens transformed woman.
"Why do you not fall?" It asked in a soft, indifferent voice. "Why do I have a strange, disgusting feeling from you?"
Mark looked up, eyes deep. Truly, it felt as if he was being stared down from up above by a giant in human form. That indeed was a disgusting feeling.
"What is protecting you?" It asked.
Status.

"What will you do for me if I explain what is protecting me?" he asked.
The Avatar blinked, shooting another visible wave of energy at Mark. But just as it touched him, it dissipated. Frowning, it gently descended towards him as if it wanted to touch him. At the same time, Mark felt a bone deep hunger rise within him as it came closer and closer.
His eyes flickered from violet and gold.
The Avatar Jade Beauty stopped in its track, but suddenly, Mark pushed Reol'ran away from him and as both of them watched in awe, Mark's body began to transform.
He began to reflect his surroundings, as if he were a mirror statue. The Avatar began to crack, black liquid oozing out of its beautiful figure and revealing something heinous for a second before it reverted back to normal.
Suddenly, the world became awash in a violet glow and everything started to reflect each other. Even dust began to reflect, as if everything had become a reflective surface.
An esoteric symbol appeared in the sky, followed by the whole world becoming a mirror.
"From one conscious thought, all things return to Origin. Vast and endless becomes formless and startless. So becomes the Heart the true Heaven and Earth."
Mark simply floated in the skies, and as he did, he saw the confused and disgusted expression of the World Will. It was staring around it, as if lost in a daze.
Instinctively, he said, "All things return to one."
The Avatar stood, frozen for a second, before realization seemed to have dawned on its head.
"The abominable Path of the Heaven Domination," the Avatar said, voice chilly and filled with emotions that seemed foreign on that cold face.
Before the Avatar could react, the jade beauty transformed into black particles and Mark opened his mouth, the particles floated into his mouth and he took a deep, deep, unsettled breath.
In mere seconds, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Mark and Reol'ran exchanged a glance, ripe with confusion.
She asked, "Did you… just eat it?"
Mark smiled awkwardly, feeling a tingling sensation all over his body. He had a feeling as if something had changed, but also, as if everything was normal.
He briefly examined the seven Gold Lord 'Corpses' and noticed that deep within them, new World Will pieces were generating by itself.
But he was no longer worried, deep inside him, he had an instinctual understanding now that the World Will entering his World Space as small Avatars was of no threat to him.
Especially, the growing World Will might be useful in turning Yuri into a Golden Savage after exhaustive experiments.
Reol'ran changed the question, coming closer and dubiously touching him. They were both souls now, so she could touch him, in a way.
"Did you predict this would happen?"
Mark wanted to act sagely, as if he knew everything, as if he was omnipotent. But if he did that baselessly, Reol'ran would probably smack the stupidity out of him.
He said seriously, "I had a feeling that the Violet Mirror would react if something like the World Will entered here. It reacts in such circumstances, usually. Almost as if…" He looked into the depths of his World Space.
"Almost as if it is sentient," Reol'ran completed the rest for him. "And as far as we are aware, the Violet Mirror is also a force like the World Wills. One of those fundamental things you shouldn't play with, which, for some reason happened to be in your hands."
Mark nodded.
They both didn't know what the fuck had just happened, but one lucky thing did happen amidst all of that chaos. The Golden Savages he had brought into his World Space had all died. They died when the pieces of World Will was removed out of them to create the Avatar.
"Which I just ate…" Mark said, opening his mouth so that Reol'ran could look inside.
"You…" Reol'ran began, then stopped. She didn't know what to say. She didn't understand what had happened.
Mark wondered what would happen when he shits now. Would…
No no, that didn't seem to have any substance. Like I just ate some air.
Calm, he turned and looked at his system screen. At least, now, he could leave this world and go back to the demon world. That wasn't that sweet a proposition either, now that he thought of it.
