Painful Evolution!

It was easy to imagine that once Lowett fully grasped these Rulers' Origin Laws, he would be nearly invincible within this Sea of the Dead!

The Path of Breaking Laws could not create its own world or forge an Origin Core of its own, but it could encompass all worlds, all cores!

And he was never picky to begin with. No matter what attribute the power possessed, he accepted it all. Once he completely absorbed the power being infused into him, all he had to do was control it...

"Then I can ascend among the Rulers!"

Lowett felt both fear and admiration for the Emperor's exquisite calculations, while his heart burned with excitement.

This scheme, when laid bare, really consisted of only three points!

A traditional specialty, a traditional specialty, and... a traditional specialty.

As a mage—and a Necromancer at that—the Emperor had truly carried the traditional specialty of Necromancers to its utmost extreme!

It was obvious.

If he had not considered, before setting out, how to clear himself of suspicion should he be discovered, how could he have left a backup plan in Leviathan's modification? If he had not considered that Limit must have long since prepared for this possibility, how could he have chosen this moment to condense his own Ruler Clone? If he had not understood what chain reaction the eruption of three Ruler powers would cause, including Lowett's own intentions, how could he have...

A dagger hidden behind a smile!!

The methods Lowett commonly used, including adapting to circumstances, could at most be called proceeding step by step, laying out plans only after battle had begun.

But the Emperor could no longer be described as merely preparing for a rainy day.

It was as if he could foresee the future, making preparations for every possible accident.
