Emperor Lawrence

"A will that enforces the laws, exterminating beings that should have never existed. It notices them once they reach a certain level, at their very peak. Then it erases them from the present, past, and future. As if they had never existed."

No matter how much Lawrence tried to get answers, this crazy fox kept talking about the Will of Heaven as if she were in love, nothing could interrupt her speech.

He clenches his teeth. ‘I have enough with the Will of Nature, if I add the Will of Heaven to the recipe, I'm done for! Not even the regressions of Coldness Divine can save me!'

Although it's the first time he hears of such a Greater Will, Lawrence has no intention of verifying its existence. Because if this bitch's words hold any truth, attracting the attention of such a will cannot be good!

Like enchanted, Eminent Greed begins to write even faster. The magic formation is about to complete and there's no way he can stop it.

"Why is sacred magic the only one to corrupt?"

Again, he finds himself drawn to the delusions of that woman.

"Corrupt sacred magic can not only heal wounds but also attack. Why does this happen? What does sacred magic lose upon corrupting if the latter only offers benefits?"

Lawrence has an idea of the answer, since... the evil sect Abyss Soul spent a lot of resources to prevent his sacred magic from corrupting.

To avoid losing the requirements for his innate ability Dimensional Rift.

Eminent Greed stands up from the floor and all he can do is watch her with hatred, because this woman has just completed the magic formation.

"You don't know how surprised I was after hearing that a user of sacred magic made a commotion in front of the Violet Twilight auction house." More than worrying about Lawrence's expression, she smiles cheerfully. "You are able to retain all your emotions, you're not an ordinary user of sacred magic... So far I've dealt with several subjects trying to replicate that memory, but you must be the chosen one. Something brought you to me, Lawrence!"

She removes her thin garment and throws it far away, revealing her naked body.

But rather than appreciating her beauty, he can only watch as she bites her finger and lets a drop of blood fall on the magic formation. Successfully activating it.

At that very instant, time stops.

There are no sounds.

There are no thoughts.

Indescribably, Lawrence and Eminent Greed feel the emergence of something... An eye in the sky.

As soon as this eye opens, tens of others emerge. When those tens of eyes open, hundreds more appear. This cycle repeats until millions of eyes cover the sky and when the last of them emerges, they all focus their attention on one place.

Towards Lawrence.

"Hah... Hah..."

He forgets to breathe, forcing his lungs and heart to stay calm, but he can't. He turns pale, feeling every inch of his body being evaluated and the worst of all is not that, it's that the Will of Heaven is showing resentment towards him.

As if he were breaking the rules, the laws of this world.

"Look at me! It's me!"

Eminent Greed stretches her hands to the sides, with no intention of hiding anything. "Why have I been made the bearer of this fate? Why must I go through this? For what purpose do I exist?"

Slowly she attracts the attention of thousands of eyes, proving that she is worthy of observation.

The focus on Lawrence lessens, allowing him to think rationally.

"I will not let things stay this way, I will kill you! I will make you pay for this!"

But he can only spit out all the hatred he feels for this woman. Because he's done for, he's screwed. No matter what he does, nothing can amend the damage Eminent Greed has done to him. He has attracted the attention of another damned Greater Will.

He was hoping that this woman would kill him, experiment on his body, manipulate his mind, torture him for information, but everything would be resolved within 24 hours as Coldness Divine would commit suicide and warn him of his future disappearance.

But not this. Not this!

The Will of Heaven does not answer her questions, but the mere fact of feeling observed is enough for her. Because this means that it will not be the last time they see each other, not while she is the bearer of this fate.

"Lawrence, you've done so much for me."

Slowly the eyes in the sky begin to close, but there is no sign that the capital has noticed them, only Lawrence and Eminent Greed can see them.

"How I wish my mental manipulation worked on you. I would have given you everything you wanted, I would let you live, because I want to see your end, but since it is not so... this is goodbye, Lawrence."

Eminent Greed walks towards Lawrence with a look of regret on her face. This is the man who fulfilled one of her most cherished dreams, to replicate that memory and to know that she is not alone, losing him now is no different from continuing her blind search until she concludes this life... and the ones to come, but she soon frowns at the tranquility of that man.

She blinks in surprise and then retreats at great speed, her instincts proving her right.

Without knowing when, three women appear behind Lawrence and attack her with the intention to kill her. A silent and deadly sword cut, followed by vines that emerge from the ground trying to capture her, ending with a line of fire in the air capable of incinerating everything in its path.

Retreating in time gives her the opportunity to avoid all their attacks without getting hurt in the process. She stops retreating as she realizes that their attacks were just a greeting, she then retrieves beautiful garments from her storage ring and begins to dress. While doing so, she looks around for the cause of the sudden appearance of these three women and soon finds it.

"Your innate ability is fascinating, teleporting your allies at all times... Now I understand your confidence in coming alone."

Lawrence does not correct her misunderstanding and gets off the cross at the same time as he heals the holes in his limbs, where nails previously held him to the cross.

Dressed in elegant garments, not different from magic artifacts, Eminent Greed approaches him wanting to satisfy an inquiry. "When did your restrictions lift?"

"When those damn eyes wouldn't stop looking at me."

"I see."

Since Eminent Greed has no intention of attacking immediately, he looks towards Serene Will and in just seconds conveys everything that happened. Just like him at some point, Serene Will breathes heavily and looks up at the sky, but just as he predicted, she can see nothing.

Even when there are still thousands of eyes yet to close.

She walks towards Eminent Greed and asks: "Is there another way to solve this?"

"Do you say that even knowing what happened?"

Serene Will nods, because a woman capable of summoning the Will of Heaven with her own hand cannot be someone simple... But Eminent Greed shakes her head.

At that very moment Eminent Greed smiles as she avoids the sword cut of the woman in front of her, "I'm surprised that a mere level 699 is not intimidated despite knowing the outcome."

Because her level is none other than... level 758.

A level 699 hunter can only know defeat against her.

While all this happens, Lawrence explains to Coldness Divine and Sky Petal what happened. Since he has to do it with his own lips, the explanation takes a few seconds to finish.

If it were another enemy he would postpone the explanations, but not with her.

"Will of Heaven, you say?"

Coldness Divine looks up at the sky with concern, but she is also unable to see anything. The same happens with Sky Petal, but just before joining Serene Will to help her, she frowns.

'What was that?'

Sky Petal does not give it much importance because she is not able to find the cause of her discomfort, but if perhaps she had given it the necessary time...

"Don't underestimate me."

After the arrival of Coldness Divine and Sky Petal, Eminent Greed feels humiliated. She had never known hunters under level 700 to act with such confidence in front of her.

"Do not mistake my consideration for weakness."

The next second a giant wolf manifests in front of her. This wolf does not have a physical body, rather it is just a body made of golden lines in its outlines. Not different from the sketch of a wolf. But this is not the most impressive part, behind the wolf a sun illusion appears, a sun drawn by a three-year-old child!

"An invoked beast with its own Way?"

Eminent Greed smiles cheerfully at their praises, "Studying the world does not mean comprehending its origins, but applying the knowledge in reality."

The wolf understands the intention of its mistress and attacks Sky Petal and company, generating a wave of fire where it lands. Its Way may be a sun made of golden lines, but it burns as much as a real sun.

"Tsk."

The one most annoyed about this is not other than Coldness Divine, whose fire does not cause damage to the wolf, their compatibility could not be worse.

But not so for Sky Petal.

"Death Torrent."

A cascade manifests behind her and its flow heads towards the giant wolf, planning to snatch its life. The wolf whines when its paws touch the water and takes flight without thinking twice, but who would have thought that dozens of vines would emerge under these deadly waters and force it down?

It howls and then the sun on its back begins to move like a cartoon for children, but it is no joke what happens next. The wolf turns into a small sun and impacts against the Way of Sky Petal, sounds of evaporation followed by the rising of a mist are heard.

This mist does not remain for long.

"Heaven's Division."

Serene Will manifests her Way and the cut of her sword divides everything. The wolf howls in pain when this attack disrupts its sun form and forces it to return to its previous state. It whines once more as it comes into contact with the waters of the Death Torrent Way.

The wolf understands that it cannot continue like this and decides to attack despite the damage to its body. A rain of fire falls on the three humans and it thinks this can give it time, but the human with wings blocks its attack, preventing the others from being damaged. Because both have the fire affinity, she cannot attack, but she can defend.

Eminent Greed squints her eyes, unable to believe what she is seeing.

'Who are they? To which sect do they belong?'

Her first thought is that Lawrence used the contacts of his pill refiner to get the help of the three major sects of the Heavenly Path Kingdom.

'Bringing talents to deal with me... If I hadn't acted before him, I could have been the unfortunate one.'

She is glad to have spent so much money on Lawrence, because thanks to this now she has enough space to play with him.

"Lawrence, you have a very favorable impression of me... I can't afford to ruin it."

He clenches his teeth at the tranquility, the smile of that woman, because if he has just deduced correctly... That wolf is just the beginning.

Eminent Greed extends her hand and in front of her a butterfly appears, with the same characteristics as the giant wolf, only its outline has golden lines. Behind the butterfly, the illusion of a hot desert appears, which seems drawn by a three-year-old child.

As soon as it flaps its wings, dozens of illusions are created around.

Both beasts have the strength of a level 730 hunter. Only now do they begin to feel the pressure of fighting against Eminent Greed, a ranker of level 758.
