The Sanctuary Takes Shape, Peak Demigod Gustavo, Divine Law: Devouring, Complementing One Another

What Logo and Lancelot were going to do was simple: borrow the power of the plane's origin to amplify the cosmic storm belt.

To achieve this, one must either obtain the consent of the Plane Will and have it voluntarily 'lend the loan,' or one must forcibly 'steal' it.

The Plane Will will not directly interfere with the operation of the world, and therefore will not actively provide assistance to Logo and Lancelot, otherwise it would violate the fundamental rules of the Astral Realm and be subject to judgment from a higher dimension.

But just because you can't take the initiative doesn't mean you can't passively accept it!

In other words, Logo and Lancelot need to take the Plane Will for this on behalf of the plane's will.

In this way, the Plane Will can rightfully declare to the rules of the Astral Realm order, "Look, they forcibly seized the Heart of Origin, it wasn't something I gave it to them on purpose."

As for the light network that Luolunsi Secret Realm transformed into, it served as a transit station and was an indispensable medium.

After all, if you want to enhance a cosmic storm belt full of Destruction properties, directly injecting World Origin Force will definitely be violently blown away and will not have any effect.

Conversely, using the "Luolunsi Light Network" as a relay station is equivalent to adding a converter to the strong current, which can not only deliver energy to the entire storm belt more quickly, but also avoid backlash and waste.

Furthermore, Lancelot's identity Earth Guardian is of paramount importance. Anyone else who did this would have been killed by the backlash long ago. Anyone below the God Level who dares to covet the dimensional origin within the Astral Realm will only face certain death.

In other words, the Earth Guardian are considered well-behaved and have a very high tolerance in the judgment of any World Will.

Although Logo had previously enjoyed a relatively high level of tolerance from the will of the Elven Plane, his act of opening the Gate of the Abyss caused the Plane Will's favor towards him to plummet, turning him into a 'rebellious son'.

As the phoenix claw slowly probed into the "Heart of Origin," the lightning above the Golden Star surged even more violently, as if it would strike down at any moment and Destruction everything, but it never did so.

And so, Logo and Lancelot worked together to tear off a large piece of the "Heart of Origin" without any major incident, and then poured it into the light net without hesitation.

Subsequently, under the combined control of Lancelot and Logo, the light net that had absorbed a portion of the Heart of Origin first collapsed violently, merging into the core of the Golden Star, and then expanded again, spreading throughout the entire cosmic storm belt.

The Tibeici' original power, after being nourished, was already extremely powerful. When injected into the cosmic storm belt, its power immediately surged.

Moreover, because the Golden Star was also infused with Tibeici's primal power by the Light Network, it established a special connection with the cosmic storm belt. Originally, there were some gaps between the two, but now they are completely sealed off, impenetrable and solid as iron.

In other words, any attack that wants to reach Golden Star must first break through the defenses of the cosmic storm belt.

The power that once nearly Destruction the Golden Star has now become its strongest protector. It makes one marvel at the wonder of Fate. Many things that seemed like catastrophes at the time might have been life-threatening calamities, but who could have imagined that these so-called calamities might have been opportunities for survival left by Fate long ago?

The Nirvana Tower floated in mid-air, and a star-studded eye appeared at the top of the tower. Its gaze was lowered, and countless streams of data, forming starlight, shuttled endlessly within the pupil, as if calculating something.

After a long silence, a look of joy appeared on Logo's face. "It really did reach God Level damage. Although its maximum power can only last for a hundred years, it's more than enough!"

Lancelot returned to his normal size and walked over, saying, "Over on Sid's side, the Spear of Fate has also accumulated a massive amount of willpower, and is now capable of unleashing an attack of God Level strength."

"Then let him bring the Spear of Fate to Golden Star. Here, he can receive the best protection and continue to accumulate power of will," Logo replied.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

"Be careful not to let the rest of the Crimson Alliance know about the existence of Golden Star. It's not the right time yet."

"Clear."

Lancelot waved his hand without turning his head, his figure flickered twice, and he disappeared.

Astral Realm, Treacherous Destruction Continent, Black Hole Domain.

Countless threads of gravity wove together to form an impenetrable barrier. The Demonic Sea churned, stirring up countless planetary fragments. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the number of these planetary fragments had decreased by nearly half, and the Demonic Sea had become translucent.

This seemingly pure and clear luster actually represents the increasingly irritable emotions of the King of the Demonic Sea. However, describing it as emotions might not be entirely accurate, as it's debatable whether beings Astral Realm Anomaly possess emotions.

More precisely, the King of the Demonic Sea is approaching his "hunger period." Once he enters this stage, not only will Gustavo's danger increase significantly, but Tirmis Gravitational Field will also be torn apart, causing considerable trouble.

However, Gustavo didn't care about this, because he had received a message from his grandmother Yilisham that the Chaos Tide was coming soon, and he would soon be able to escape his misery.

The eerie sound of the waves, accompanied by the surging of the Demonic Sea, constantly reached Gustavo's ears. With a chaotic quality that sent chills down one's spine, any intelligent being that heard the sound had the urge to tear off its skin, rip out its bones, crush its internal organs, and shatter everything within itself, merging into this boundless, demonic ocean.

Gustavo, however, had long since grown accustomed to this sound. In fact, he felt listless and unwell if he didn't hear it now. To the point that Gustavo even wondered if something was wrong with him, "Am I seriously ill?"

Spider silk emerged, transforming into tentacles that lapped against the surging Demonic Sea waters behind them, like children playing a game. It looked incredibly childish, and in reality... it was indeed quite immature.

Unfortunately, the current client is the King of the Demonic Sea, Gustavo has no power to resist. Since he can't resist, he can only accept it.

Hey, you know what? You really have to believe it, once Gustavo changed his mindset, he actually started getting along quite well with the King of the Demonic Sea. The two became increasingly harmonious, leaving the God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider like Herzan and Narnia, who had been nervously observing him from the outside, completely baffled.

To be honest, they've seen plenty of big scenes, but they've never seen or even heard of anything like Gustavo, who can play around with the Astral Realm Anomaly. It's absolutely outrageous.

Of course, Gustavo's increasingly composed demeanor is also inseparable from his improved skills.

With the help of the large amount of resources obtained from his clan and the subsidies provided by the faction after becoming a member of the Devouring Faction, Gustavo not only perfected his [Devourer] talent, but also advanced to the Demigod rank in one fell swoop.

Having encountered numerous opportunities on his journey to the Treacherous Destruction Continent, Gustavo's bloodline level had already been raised to the level of High-Rank Demigod, which is theoretically the highest bloodline below the God Race.

Generally speaking, bloodlines of this caliber can quickly achieve Divinity Sublimation after reaching the High-Rank Demigod, so they can also be called Peak Demigod bloodlines.

The high level of his bloodline means that Gustavo has no bottlenecks before reaching God Level; he can simply keep charging forward.

In addition, he is a member of the Devouring Faction. As is well known, for the Dragon-Hunting Spider of this faction, as long as the strength of their "Cornerstone" and "Mind" is up to standard, they can simply advance.

Gustavo's "Cornerstone" and "mind" strength need no further explanation. Although he has not yet reached the standard of Asuye before breaking through to the God Level, he is more than capable of advancing to the Peak Demigod.

And so, Gustavo devoted a small portion of his energy to playing with the King of the Demonic Sea to prevent this Astral Realm Anomaly from causing trouble, while simultaneously devouring all the resources at his disposal and frantically improving his cultivation level. In just seven or eight months, he successively crossed multiple ranks and reached the level of High-Rank Demigod.

Then, with his "perfect talent" - [Devourer], Gustavo naturally comprehended the "Divine Law - Devouring", entered the stage of Divinity Sublimation, and achieved the Peak Demigod status.

The advancement in life rank not only brought a significant leap in combat power, but also greatly increased Gustavo's resistance in all aspects, especially his "abnormal resistance," which he deliberately "added points" to and heavily invested in, allowing him to deal with the King of the Demonic Sea, this super-sized and enhanced version of the "brat," with greater ease.

At this moment, deep within Gustavo's soul, roars filled with madness, resentment, and other negative emotions echoed, and a viscous, oil-like black substance spread with the sound.

In the very center of that black substance was a mutated creature, seemingly born from the extreme concentration of lust. It exhibited the characteristics of a spider-like creature, with black and red pupils growing from its jet-black body, mouths covering its abdomen, and flesh writhing beneath its skin, occasionally producing some kind of nauseating organ. Its appearance was chaotic and disordered.

This is the "Mind Beast".

The Devouring Path inevitably brings calamities, and the price to pay for acquiring power.

The Mind Beast is born from the chaos caused by devouring, similar to a second personality. Once it takes over the soul and body, it will become chaotic and insane, making even demons seem docile in comparison.

Although under normal circumstances, even if the Mind Beast takes over everything, it will eventually collapse due to the chaos of the system and the inability to maintain its own rules, and life that has been taken over by it will also fall into Eternity death and disappear completely from this world.

The Mind Beast can never be destroyed, only suppressed, because it is itself a component of the power that Devouring Path.

Therefore, members of the Devouring Faction have always been searching for various ways to suppress the Mind Beast, and Gustavo is no exception.

After Asuye finished his lesson, Gustavo pondered the problem and soon had an inspiration.

What is Gustavo's biggest trump card?

good luck?

Of course not, even though his luck attribute is already very high.

Perfect-level talent "Devourer"?

No, although this talent, acquired through a series of fortuitous events, is extremely powerful and perfectly suited to him, it is still not his biggest trump card.

Gustavo's true trump card is actually Logo and Lancelot.

His ability to survive the final, terrifying backlash of "Luck Deprivation" and even miraculously form a special bond with the King of the Demonic Sea is largely due to the crucial factors of Logo and Lancelot.

Without these two anchors to keep his rationality from being lost in the extreme chaos of the Demonic Sea; without Logo's alchemy to support him, allowing him to choose the right path in countless life-or-death situations; without Lancelot's various mental techniques and willpower cultivation tips to enable him to complete the important spiritual transformation... Gustavo would have been gone long ago.

Given this, could we perhaps use Logo and Lancelot to resolve the issue of the "Mind Beast"?

After careful consideration, Gustavo realized that this was a very good idea.

Of the two, Lancelot was the first to be eliminated. Although his overall mental will was no weaker than Gustavo's, he was still no match for the Mind Beast, and it would greatly delay his own cultivation, which was not worthwhile.

That leaves only Logo.

If Gustavo's headache stemmed from an overabundance of "beastly" instincts, then Logo was tormented by a lack of humanity.

So-called bestiality is nothing more than a form of human nature. Among the countless beings in the Astral Realm, human nature is the most complex and inclusive. Within human nature, one can see the character traits of all races.

Compassion, kindness, sympathy, loyalty, cruelty, selfishness, greed, tyranny...

It has all kinds of temperaments, it's practically a melting pot.

So here's the question.

What would happen if one were to unleash their own animalistic instincts, their Mind Beast, onto Logo?

First, Gustavo himself essentially has a super-huge waste disposal plant, which can greatly reduce the constraints brought by the Mind Beast, allowing him to devote more energy to improving the "Cornerstone," thus increasing his growth efficiency many times over.

This is equivalent to stepping on one foot with the other, spiraling upwards! If executed well, it might directly solve the biggest flaw of the Devouring System, allowing Gustavo to take off immediately!

On the other hand, Logo can also benefit greatly from this. He has gained another terrifying anchor of humanity. He was originally worried that the Miracle Creation, the Eye of Insight, would trigger a super-huge "emotional shock" after it awakened to the level of a divine artifact, but now it seems that there is a solution.

If Gustavo breaks through before Logo, he will surely be able to give birth to an extremely terrifying Mind Beast.

Doesn't this mean helping Logo in advance, preparing a stable anchor point for human nature, and allowing him to resolve his biggest hidden danger ahead of time?!

If you win one game on the left and one game on the right, that's a perfect win-win situation, commonly known as "winning until you're exhausted!"

Furthermore, after thinking a little deeper, Gustavo suddenly realized that Lancelot wasn't entirely useless after all; he could assist in strengthening the "Devouring Foundation".

Although Lancelot follows the path of the Matter System, his future plans for his Divine Body are somewhat special. In short, Lancelot will definitely study the various material structures of the Astral Realm in the future. In this way, Gustavo can draw on these material structures to strengthen his own physical body.

If the "comprehension of the Law of Devouring" is the core of the "Cornerstone," then physical strength is its outer shell.

It's really hard to say which is more important.

If we compare Gustavo's Devouring Path to a Black Hole, then the Law of Devouring is the "order" that maintains the operation of the Black Hole, while physical strength is the "singularity," which belongs to the material level. Different singularities can Containment Black Hole of different strengths.

Without order, Black Hole cannot grow; without a singularity, Black Hole will collapse instantly. Both are indispensable.

On Lancelot's side, he wasn't at a disadvantage either. He needed all sorts of sample data to deduce the structure of matter. As an alchemist, Logo would naturally provide a considerable portion of this data, but Gustavo, while devouring everything, was also analyzing everything, and could also provide a large amount of data to help Lancelot perfect his Divine Body.

In this way, the complementarity between the three clones is fully demonstrated. Their weaknesses may become advantages for the other two, allowing them to climb up by stepping on each other's shoulders.
