Chapter 900 First Order of Darkness



Chapter 900 First Order of Darkness

After an unknown amount of time passed, the dark blue corporeal cube under the small shop started to become fainter while the darkness inside the cube seemed to be sucked into something.

Ace’s sitting figure was revealed to be completely fine as if nothing had happened. But he appeared to be an empty husk as there were no signs of breathing.

But right at this moment, the space around Ace startled to churn, and any sign of light in this place vanished as it became darker than black within an instant.

However, this strange phenomenon only remained for a moment before it was gone, and at this moment, Ace’s eyes snapped open, revealing abyssal-like dark eyes before turning into normal. But his expression went ashen instantly as he started to pant like crazy, his body drenched with cold sweat.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang,

=====

[Congratulations, host, for successfully assimilating the First Order of Darkness!]

=====

Ace circulated his Qi to calm down and looked at those notifications with disbelief and scrutiny.

However, it was still hard to recover from the torturous experience he had while acquiring all these things.

Although he was in a dream-like state, the pain of being his soul shredded into Nano-particles and then entwined with those symbols wasn’t something anyone could forget and move over. He was in a state where he wanted to die, but he couldn’t, no matter how much he wished for it.

But Ace soon noticed that his Qi had changed somehow, as it made his mind calm almost instantly. Although it had this effect for a long time, this time, it was far more potent and faster.

Furthermore, Ace’s mind had become clearer, and he could feel the laws of despair, charm, and shadow in the environment. But more importantly, Ace felt another new, eerier law even more clearly than even the law of Sword.

Moreover, this law gave him the feeling he had when he was in front of that throne. It was too profound, even more than the Heavenly Thunder, yet he could now understand more clearly and felt close to it.

‘Darkness?’ Ace’s icy cold eyes shone with a hint of ecstasy. Furthermore, many new profound memories were in his mind.

“System, what was that throne? And explain to me what is this 1st order of darkness?” Ace questioned the system sternly. He had too many questions after that strange meeting, and he knew that throne was far from normal, not to mention it called him the Child of Darkness.

“[That was the effect of Elixir of Darkness. The 1st Order of Darkness is the result of the host fully absorbing the Elixir of Darkness.]” System emotionlessly replied.

Ace scoffed coldly, “You mean to say this Elixir of Darkness can talk?” He clearly did not believe it.

“[Elixir of Darkness is very special, and it can have varied effectors depending on its consumer. The system can’t control it.]”

Ace frowned since it became abundantly clear that the system wasn’t going to tell him, so he changed the subject helplessly, “Then what is this order, and why is it devouring and corroding my laws? But I can still feel them and use them. In fact, I think I can use them even better than before. Explain it more clearly.”

“[The First Order of Darkness is like a part of Origin of Darkness. Similarly, origin brings forth the birth of sub-origins. So, it’s only natural the origin, no matter how small it is, still held authority over its sub-origins. The Order of Darkness is the origin of everything related to Darkness, even Laws.]

“[Now that Host has obtained the First Order of Darkness, all the elements and laws related to darkness will return to their origin and strengthen the origin. But the host doesn’t need to worry. The Order of Darkness may devour the laws; you can now use the law of darkness, and it has the same effect as Despair, Charm, and Shadow Laws combined.]

“[Furthermore, the more your understanding of those laws increases, your darkness will become more powerful. If you comprehend more branch laws of darkness, their effect will also be added into darkness and strengthen it further.]

“[Remember host the Darkness is empty and cold, but it can devour anything and everything to quench its emptiness and make it its own. Furthermore, darkness can’t be hurt by darkness but only merge together by devouring each other!]”

Realization dawned upon Ace at this moment, and his heart raced to hear about the true benefits of the First Order of Darkness. He suddenly felt all that nightmarish pain was worth it.

“Then what about the corroding part?” He quickly inquired.

“[Darkness can not only devour but corrode even light, turning it into a part of itself.]”

Ace’s eyes winded ever so slightly, “Do you mean all those laws will eventually added to Darkness as well?”

“[Indeed, Darkness has no limit to its growth, and it can devour everything eventually. The host needs to focus on learning the true properties of darkness and comprehend the First Order of Darkness: Lawless Darkness. Consider it the only fighting chance against Heaven.]”

Ace’s heart felt cold at this moment when he heard System’s grave voice and couldn’t help but remember the throne words, ‘I am but a defeated throne.’

‘Even that terrifying power was defeated…’ Ace thought as all that excitement from gaining that power vanished, and he became somber.

After collecting his thoughts, Ace muttered, “Status!”
