“Ability enhancement!”
“You have obtained partial information about the specialty [Movement Spellcasting]!”
“Comprehension of the specialty!”
“After long-term training, you have mastered the new specialty [Movement Spellcasting]!…”
………………
As the data before his eyes disappeared, Soren, who had been standing in place for a long time, finally slowly opened his eyes. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured, “Finally mastered it!”
“I didn’t expect that with the power of a deity, mastering this specialty would be so difficult!”
“Now, the next specialty is [Flight Spellcasting].”
“However, the most important thing now should be to take a trip to the Bottomless Abyss. The Gurenba Arena? The goblin demon sorcerer! It should be a demon lord that I can deal with myself, right?”
“The demonic aura on Vivian is becoming more intense.”
“It seems that the power of the Fear Witch, Lilian, has completely awakened within her. The plan to advance into the Bottomless Abyss must be accelerated; at the very least, it must ensure that we can fight against the Demon God of Fear!”
Soren’s figure disappeared in place.
The next moment, he appeared outside Vivian’s room. About three days ago, some very subtle runes had appeared on Vivian’s forehead; these were tattoos possessed only by greater demons, which would previously only appear when Vivian transformed, but now they had emerged automatically. This indicates that the fear divine power she absorbed was merging, and the time until her awakening was drawing nearer. He needed to quickly accumulate the power to challenge the Demon God of Fear, and only then could he completely destroy it when the Saint’s Cataclysm broke out.
The Gurenba Arena felt like an opportunity to Soren.
The third layer of the Bottomless Abyss, the [Land of Forgotten], is a complicated place, and due to the properties of the River of Underworld, many demon lords mutually restrain each other, making it impossible for any of them to take complete control over this layer.
The d*ath of the demon lord, [The Arrogant One], has led to a situation where the strong prey on the weak in this layer!
Inside the Gurenba Arena, Soren sensed an order of power hidden within the chaos, which was the accumulation of Miamid – Coin of Disaster over hundreds of years. It had established the laws of this land and sowed the seeds of order within it. If Soren could take over, he could transform it into a place similar to [Broken Domain Town].
Moreover,
An even more important point is that it is directly adjacent to an active volcano, and such terrain is immensely beneficial for the flame demon form of the demon avatar!
Other demon lords may not appreciate the volcano. However, Soren’s avatar is not affected at all.
This is an opportunity.
But relying solely on the power of the demon avatar would not be enough to defeat a powerful demon lord. Therefore, Soren’s main body also had to get involved. Modo City still needed his personal oversight, so he could not be away from Modo City for too long.
Soren could only secure 7-14 days’ time.
During this period, the demon avatar must advance to the legendary domain, at least becoming a powerful flame demon. As long as he enters the legendary realm, he would have the strength to protect himself even in the Bottomless Abyss.
“You will be alright!”
Soren raised his hand and gently brushed Vivian’s delicate cheek, leaned down, and kissed her forehead before turning to leave the room. Since he planned to take a trip to the Bottomless Abyss, he naturally needed to inform Gloria. The parade ceremony had just ended, and the influence of Modo City was still brewing. Other enemies lurking in the shadows would not make any rash moves. The friendly relationship with the Agriculture Church gave Soren even more confidence; under these circumstances, no one would rashly provoke him.
Creak!
The door gently closed, and shortly after Soren left, Vivian’s slender fingers suddenly moved.
………………
Modo City, Shadow Plane. Laboratory.
Gloria’s expression was calm as she gently approached Soren, raised her hand, and tidied up his clothes, softly saying, “Are you going out?”
Soren nodded silently, “Yeah.”
He hadn’t said anything yet, but Gloria seemed to know everything.
Perhaps it was because they were becoming increasingly familiar and in sync that Gloria merely glanced at Soren’s expression and knew he planned to go on a journey.
She did not ask too much.
Gloria just held Soren’s hand tightly and asked softly, “When will you be back?”
Soren extended his hand to embrace her, leaning down to kiss her cheek, and said solemnly, “At the latest, half a month.”
“Okay.” Gloria nodded gently.
She turned and took out a silvery metal sphere, placing it in Soren’s palm, saying softly, “Be careful on the way. This is the improved Gisz Silver Blade. I’ll wait for you to come back!”
The deity personally moves out.
Even without asking anything, Gloria knew it was a very important matter.
She is a smart woman.
Soren held her hands tightly, a slight smile appearing on his face as he said slowly, “Rest assured. I won’t take unnecessary risks!”
“Vivian will be entrusted to you.”
Soren did not mention Modo City, nor did he bring up the Church of the Deity, as neither of them was the most important to him.
What he cared about the most was only Vivian.
And Gloria, as his closest woman, knew very well what was most important to Soren. Modo City could be rebuilt, the Church of the Deity could rise again, but in his heart, Vivian’s importance far surpassed both of those.
“I understand.” Gloria nodded gently.
There was no sense of sad parting; Soren was not that kind of person. He prepared what he needed to prepare and then set off on his journey to the Bottomless Abyss.
This time he would not be just a passerby; he had to delve into the third layer of the Bottomless Abyss.
As a legendary-level Wanderer, he had enough confidence. As long as he didn’t disturb the powerful demon gods, he had over an eighty percent chance of achieving his goals.
The whole multiverse left him with only limited options.
Even as a deity, Soren had few choices, because he was too weak, and most planes had been nearly divided among the gods.
Unless he joined a certain pantheon, Soren would eventually have to transfer to a divine kingdom.
Because the original God of Half-Elves was sheltered under the Elven Pantheon, the Divine Kingdom of the Half-Elves was on the fringes of the realms of the elven gods, and it was almost inconceivable that those elven gods would take a liking to Soren. Deities can establish their own divine kingdom, but creating a plane is quite difficult, as almost all divine kingdoms are built upon already existing planes.
Everything Soren was doing was not just to protect Vivian but also for their future!
To establish a foothold in the multiverse, a deity must possess a realm of their own. Unless they are immensely powerful and can independently establish a plane, they can only rely on other planes in the multiverse.
The Hall of Demons, Paradise, Paradise, Mount Heaven, Pure Land of Bliss, Hell of Scorching Flames, Hell of Bartok, Bottomless Abyss, Mechanical Mirror, Twin Paradise, Gray Wastes, Shura Field, Garden of Joseph…
Soren’s ideal land for a divine kingdom should be the [Mechanical Mirror of Clockwork Nirvana].
But with his current abilities, it is likely that he cannot establish a foothold in the [Mechanical Mirror of Clockwork Nirvana]. The Bottomless Abyss has the most chaotic rules and is also the place where he is most likely to find his footing.
As a newly born deity, Soren is constantly learning new knowledge; being a deity is just the beginning!
His stage is now the entire multiverse.
The initial evasion was only to accumulate strength; now he qualifies to play chess with the gods within the multiverse and naturally needs to search for suitable places among various planes to place his pieces.
The Spider Queen, Rose, is a terrifying enemy!
But she is also a worthy opponent from whom to learn and respect, and Soren has gained much inspiration from her.
The Saint’s Cataclysm is not the end.
Even after the Saint’s Cataclysm, the reshuffled gods face countless disputes; those lost divine rights, divine positions, and divinities; those fallen divine kingdoms; the struggle among the gods continues after the Saint’s Cataclysm, but they no longer need to enter the fray themselves. Soren must have a divine kingdom of his own; he must establish a world of his own within the multiverse. In the upper planes, he faces enemies on all sides, and the only places he can choose are the lower planes.
[Land of Forgotten].
This is critical; whether Soren can stabilize his position in the multiverse depends on this opportunity.
