Chapter 661: Myriad Realms Law · Infinite! The Candidates' Actions!
"Source of Myriad Realms Fragment."
Ren, naked and leaning against the headboard, calmed down after feeling refreshed. The cool air of the room touched his skin, a stark contrast to the burning energy within him.
His inner vision was directed towards the Infinite Tree. It stood majestic and eternal in his mind's eye, its branches reaching into realities unseen.
That shining golden core was undoubtedly what he had obtained after dealing with the Extinction Apocalypse. It pulsed with a rhythm that matched the heartbeat of the universe itself.
As for how to use this thing, or what it was, he didn't understand yet. It was a mystery wrapped in power, a riddle written in the language of creation.
But its direct appearance here at the Infinite Tree certainly had some reason. Nothing in the multiverse happened by accident, especially not something of this magnitude.
"What should I do?"
After a slight thought, he made his decision. Intuition had guided him this far; he would trust it again.
His consciousness, using the Infinite Tree's power, pulled towards the Source of Myriad Realms Fragment.
Unexpectedly, there was no resistance during the process; instead, the Source of Myriad Realms Fragment seemed to actively surge into the Infinite Tree. It was as if two long-lost pieces of a puzzle were finally reuniting.
It looked... like a fusion. A perfect, seamless integration of power and potential.
The moment the Source of Myriad Realms Fragment surged into the Infinite Tree, the Infinite Tree suddenly began to grow rapidly. Its roots deepened into the void, and its canopy expanded to cover dimensions he hadn't even known existed.
Even the few worlds on its branches felt this change. The very fabric of their reality trembled with the influx of new energy.
Echidna, who was savoring the Ren tea she had obtained earlier by exhausting all her tricks, looked up, a strange glint in her eyes. The Witch of Greed sensed a shift in the cosmic balance.
"Oh, my good master has become stronger again."
Saying he became stronger was not wrong. It was an understatement.
The Infinite Tree was indeed growing. It was evolving, transcending its previous limitations.
What Ren truly felt was that he was facing a supreme world. He wasn't just observing power; he was becoming it.
What he saw before him was actually the source of the myriad realms. The singularity from which all stories, all legends, all lives sprang.
Even a slight overflow of its aura could instantly turn him to dust. The raw potential was enough to unmake a god.
But he no longer had time to ponder these things. The process had begun, and there was no turning back.
Because the infinity of the Infinite Tree was like extending a thread that penetrated everything, slowly connecting to the source of the myriad realms. It was weaving him into the very tapestry of existence.
The next moment.
Heaven and earth collapsed. Reality folded in on itself.
Light shone brightly. A brilliance that blinded the mind's eye.
His head was splitting. The influx of information and power threatened to shatter his consciousness.
"Hiss!!!"
Ren gasped, suddenly opening his eyes. His body convulsed as the connection solidified.
"Ugh, Ren Onii-chan, was my mouth too forceful?"
Shoko, who was cleaning him with both hands, immediately panicked. Her gentle eyes filled with worry as she felt him tense up.
"Ren Onii-chan, was it my fault?"
Yuzuru, holding his arm, also panicked. Her camera lay forgotten on the nightstand as she focused entirely on him.
Since it was their first lesson. They were eager to please, terrified of making a mistake.
Ren wasn't as strict with Shoko and Yuzuru as he was with Esdeath. He indulged them, guided them with a gentler hand.
But the two of them felt guilty, thinking they hadn't truly satisfied Ren Onii-chan, and proactively took on the cleaning task. It was their way of showing devotion.
Noticing Ren's unusual state, both were afraid it was due to their inexperience. They feared they had hurt the person they adored.
Especially Shoko, who felt it suddenly rise forcefully between her hands and poke her nose. The sudden reaction startled her.
Esdeath, resting with disheveled hair, also suddenly opened her eyes. The Ice Queen's instincts were sharp, even in repose.
Having the power of the Infinite Angel, her connection with Ren was profound. She felt the surge in his power before she saw it.
She noticed Ren's change immediately.
"Ren, what's wrong?"
Ren let out a long breath. The pain was fading, replaced by a sense of boundless strength.
With one hand, he pulled the slender and delicate Yuzuru in front of him. His touch was firm, possessive.
His gaze was burning. The golden light in his eyes was intense, mesmerizing.
Making Yuzuru happy yet very shy. She leaned into him, her heart fluttering like a trapped bird.
"No, it has nothing to do with you. If anything, I just got stronger and am a bit excited."
Excited?
Shoko's moist big eyes glanced downwards. She saw the proof of his excitement.
It's true.
She pursed her lips, then stood up with determined eyes and slowly sat back down. Her resolve was adorable and fierce.
"Hmm?"
Ren was stunned: "Shoko, aren't you tired from learning? It's okay to rest."
Shoko looked up, her tired little face beaming: "It's okay... Ren Onii-chan, I like you, and I want to give Ren Onii-chan the most... the best, ugh!"
"Shoko..."
Looking at Shoko, who was trying to be strong, Ren felt a pang of pity. She was so pure, so giving.
Yuzuru's gaze was complex. She watched her sister with a mix of pride and envy.
She had been the first to be intimate with Ren Onii-chan, and she had been the first to get Ren Onii-chan just now. She had staked her claim.
But now, she still felt as if she was going to lose. Shoko's dedication was a formidable rival.
Biting her silver teeth, she thought of what Ren Onii-chan had said when she got him, and she stood up, unwilling to be outdone.
"Hmm?"
Ren was puzzled. The competitive spirit of the Nishimiya sisters was unexpected.
From his perspective, looking up, Yuzuru said shyly and hesitantly, "Ren Onii-chan, didn't you say mine was very vivid and cute and must taste good? Here."
With that, she brought her 'goodie' to Ren's mouth. Her face was flushed, but her eyes were determined.
Esdeath did nothing but watch the show, elegant like a queen. She enjoyed the display of affection and rivalry.
"..."
Ren didn't know what to say. He was speechless at their enthusiasm.
Yuzuru and Shoko, these two sisters, were truly competing head to tail. It was a contest of love.
But he didn't mind, after all, he was the ultimate beneficiary. He was the king of this small kingdom.
Since the delicious food was delivered to his mouth, how could he not eat it?
...
While enjoying himself, Ren also familiarized himself with his changing powers. He multitasked with godlike efficiency.
First, there was the change in the Infinite Tree.
The most obvious was the further growth of the Infinite Tree. It had become more robust, its influence spreading further.
Although it was still only a Prototype, the power of infinity was more than just a little bit stronger. It was exponentially more potent.
The most intuitive change was the miraculous reduction in the doomsday points required to upgrade the Infinite Tree Prototype.
[Ding! Upgrading the Infinite Tree Prototype to Lv13 requires 60 billion doomsday points!]
It directly decreased from 100 billion to 60 billion, a reduction of 40 billion. A massive discount.
Moreover, the increase in power was substantial. Each level brought him closer to absolute omnipotence.
But the most peculiar change should be that the Infinite Seal of the Infinite Tree was imprinted into the Source of Myriad Realms, truly linking with the Source of Myriad Realms. He was now a part of the fundamental structure of reality.
Around the Infinite Tree, there was a wisp of golden thread swirling and hovering. It was delicate yet indestructible.
That was the new power after linking with the Source of Myriad Realms.
Myriad Realms Law: Infinite.
The first thing Ren thought of was the concept of infinity that Devouring King used to crush him. That overwhelming, suffocating power.
Now that he thought about it, Devouring King's power could no longer be described as a mere concept; it should be a Myriad Realms Law. A rule that governed existence.
It's just that the Devouring Myriad Realms Law controlled by Devouring King was unimaginably powerful. It was a mature, all-consuming force.
His Infinite Law was merely a nascent wisp. A spark compared to a bonfire.
In the future, obtaining more fragments of the Source of Myriad Realms would likely strengthen the Infinite Law. He needed to grow.
While yearning in his heart, for now, he could only vent this yearning on Yuzuru and Shoko. He channeled his ambition into affection.
Shoko was fine; she was putting in all the effort herself. Her dedication was commendable.
Ren was also afraid of being too aggressive, so he didn't move, but firmness was a must. He held himself back, letting them set the pace.
Just look at Shoko's dazed and teary-eyed appearance to know. She was overwhelmed with pleasure.
As for Yuzuru, he needed to use the God Tongue he learned from Erina. He put his skills to good use.
He couldn't calm down after the upgrade. His body hummed with excess energy.
However, ripples also appeared among the Myriad Worlds. The awakening of a new law did not go unnoticed.
"..."
Several figures opened their eyes, their gazes piercing through everything to see the newly emerged law. Ancient, powerful beings stirred from their slumber.
This indicated the birth of the sixth Lord of Myriad Worlds candidate. A new player had entered the cosmic game.
Unfortunately, the new candidate was too weak; they only needed to find the source, eliminate it, and control it. It would be like crushing an insect.
Some gazes indeed did so. They reached out across the void, seeking to snuff out the new light.
But the dark law obscured everything. A veil of shadow protected him.
Traces of the nascent law were erased. The trail went cold.
"..."
The gaze searching for the source stopped. The hunters were baffled.
After turning in one direction, it slowly retracted its gaze. They retreated into the darkness, waiting.
Someone had intervened to help the new candidate. A guardian in the shadows.
It was Devouring King, covering the new law with the Devouring Law. He protected his investment.
"It seems… you have truly embarked on the path of competition."
"Until you are capable of standing before me, I will erase everything about the nascent law."
