Location: Angel City.
Late at night, under the shroud of moonlight, Haru woke up suddenly and quietly came to a high tower in the palace.
"I do not know why, but I feel like someone's trying to spy on me…" Haru believed that this was not an illusion, after all, he was a High God.
"Who would it be?" Haru frowned. Had the Angel of Fate Caelith been here, he would've asked her, but then again, she was weaker as compared to Svetlana so even that might not have given him the answer.
"No matter who it is, I am now fearless. Even a Supreme God wouldn't dare to attack Angel City."
Think about it, Haru took out a total of forty-seven light orbs from his ring, each of which was a source of Divine Law. This was what Celestia extracted from the Godheads of the Beast Gods of Faith. She even dutifully condensed them into easy-to-absorb 'sources' of Divine Laws.
"No matter what the future holds, in the end, I will rise to become the strongest!" Haru didn't hesitate and began to use these light balls.
[Forty-seven sources of Divine Laws have been detected. Do you want to absorb them into your Godhead?]
[Yes] [No]
For Castle Lords, the GM offered this convenient option to integrate these Divine Laws but they still carried equal risk. If anyone other than Haru dared to absorb even a single one of these, they carried a huge risk of death.
After Haru made his choice, the forty-seven light spheres suspended in front of him all shattered and the source of Divine Law inside them flew into his body, infusing into his Godhead, integrating perfectly with the other three Laws already present there.
After a moment, Haru opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Great! I'm probably the first God in history to have ever mastered so many Laws."
So far, he has mastered exactly fifty Divine Laws and he could clearly feel that his strength has more than doubled. Now, he could easily suppress intermediate-stage High Gods while still being an early-stage High God himself and with his natal artifact, the Scepter of Sovereignty, he could contend with peak High Gods on equal terms for a short while.
"Barely a few Gods ever master two Divine Laws and even then, they have to be compatible Laws. With these fifty Laws, combined with my eventual clear path to the Supreme God Tier, won't I be invincible soon? It would be even better if it happens within this Demon Slayer Tournament."
Haru muttered to himself, looking forward to the upcoming 'server-wide' event.
…
Time flew quickly and the next day, Haru felt that the feeling of being watched disappeared but he was sure that this person was from the central region of the Endless Continent.
"The person was very strong, definitely not a mere High God. I'm guessing that it should be the ruler of an empire who learned about the news of Celestia becoming a Supreme Goddess. It might even be the ruler of the Light Empire, who is closest to my kingdom."
Between Angel City and Havenloch City, the closest border city of the Light Empire to the Great Aetherium, there was only No-Man's Land with a diameter of about 200,000 kilometers.
Haru heard about it from Cecilia of the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce that Havenloch was built to defend against the occasional Beast Tides from the four regions of Dark Forest, Endless Prairies, Andes Highlands and Death Swamp, as well as to monitor them.
Of course it's different now. There is no Dark Forest now and the surrounding regions were also going to be conquered by the Great Aetherium within the next few days. Now Havenloch needed to guard against this kingdom.
"Had it not been for GM's restrictions, they might've already declared war against us." Haru muttered to himself, "Although we aren't their opponents one-on-one, I have a large number of cannon fodders—the Castle Lords. After this event, a lot of top-level Castle Lords might even become Gods and it will then be an even playing field."
"At that time, it would be my Empire vs the Light Empire as the resources from these Castle Lords would be enough to level up Angel City to an Imperial Capital today itself."
Early in the morning, Lysandra, Royal Army's General, had already led Mary and the Royal Army to firmly occupy the Endless Prairies and the Andes Highlands.
Haru's development plan was set. Participate in the Demon Slayer Tournament tomorrow noon and then begin a war after returning.
