Rise of The Anti God

Damien always wondered about Luna's Origin Laws. But he didn't bother to ask before as he thought he wouldn't probably understand.

"It is something you are already familiar with. I am adept in a few Origin Laws, but the Origin Laws I take the most pride in is..." Luna continued with a smile, "Destiny Laws."

Damien's eyes couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

If anyone asked him which Origin Laws he dreaded and hated the most, he would undoubtedly say 'Destiny Laws'.

Because those laws were the reason he lost everything...but he knew that the target of his actual anger and hatred was not the laws themselves but the god who took advantage of those laws to manipulate him.

But now he realized that it all made sense.

How Luna was able to find out he was being manipulated in his previous life and how she talked about those 'Strings of Destiny' and how she said that the god was lousy at manipulating Destiny Laws.

'How many gods are out there that can manipulate one's destiny?' Damien couldn't help but wonder. He felt as if all the living beings, no matter how strong, were nothing but puppets before the presence of these kinds of monsters like Luna in the universe.

His gaze was fixed on Luna with a certain wariness in his eyes.

"Hehehe, now you are finally scared of this goddess. Do you now realize that I am not someone to be taken lightly?" Luna saw how Damien seemed a little unnerved and was amused seeing his expression.

"Bullshit. I am not scared of you. It's just that for a moment, I was surprised. After all, the god who manipulated me can also make use of Destiny Laws. Besides, I have a feeling that you can't make use of those Destiny Laws in your current state." Damien said, straightening his back.

Luna cutely puffed her cheeks, "Hmph, you are no fun. Obviously, I can't. Most of my comprehension of Destiny Laws are in my [Shard Of Destiny]. And I at least know that it is not even on this planet. Who knows in which nook and corner of the universe it is in." Luna sighed.

'Wow. It's like all her overpowered abilities were split into different shards.'

Damien wondered how two of the most powerful gods he knew ended up in a pitiful state. And, it seemed like both blamed their own carelessness for ending up in their state.

"Well, at least you don't have to worry about getting back your shard that is present in this world. With my Anti-God Arts, I am more confident than ever of fulfilling all your conditions." Damien said with a confident smile.

If Damien went back on his words, Luna would pretty much be helpless. Damien's soul plane was basically like a host for Luna.

She could expend some of her soul essences to kill Damien in revenge or anger for not fulfilling her conditions if she wants. But that would indirectly be killing herself.

If Damien didn't help her, she would practically have to live inside Damien till he dies due to old age or some other reason.

She first thought maybe there was a chance to find others with a soul as special as Damien. But soon, she felt that the reason for the specialty of his soul and the Origin Seed were somehow related in one way or another.

This means that she can only depend on Damien and no one else since there was no way a mortal or even a false divinity could house an Origin Seed.

Since the voice told him about this, Damien was aware of these things. But even though he knew, he still wanted to keep up his promise since Luna did help him a lot as she promised.

"Hmph, we will see if you can keep up with your mouth." Luna scoffed, but happiness sparkled deep within her eyes as she was inwardly pleased that Damien was at least serious about fulfilling her conditions.

Damien chuckled, seeing her trying to conceal her emotions by putting up a front, "Looks like even a goddess can be shy, hahaha. Did you think I would go back on my words?"

"You!" Luna instantly pinched Damien's waist, "You dare to make ridiculous claims about this goddess? As a man, you are supposed to keep your promises."

"Okay, okay...it tickles, hahaha." Damien feigned his laugh and swiftly caught Luna's snow-white wrist but was surprised when he felt her soft and flawless skin.

"Hey!" Luna's wrist instantly phased through Damien's hands, "You dare to lay hands on this goddess? How audacious!" She said with a glowered expression.

Luna felt strange when Damien held her wrist. No one would dare to even look at her, let alone touch her.

And this was the first time somebody touched her.

She didn't expect Damien to catch her wrist as she thought he wasn't bold enough. But little did she know that she thought wrong.

"Jeez...It's just your wrist, and you were the one who touched me first." Damien smirked. All this time, Damien thought that her spirit body was intangible since her corporeal shell had been destroyed.

He didn't expect to catch her wrist and was surprised at how nice her skin felt when he held her wrist. It felt so flawless and perfect that he wondered if her real body would have felt the same.

But just as he thought that he instantly suppressed all unnecessary thoughts before any crazy ones surfaced. He couldn't believe that his self-control was so pitiful. Even with his steeled will and steadfast heart, it was true that every time he looked at Luna, he had to focus a bit to not get mesmerized by her breathtaking beauty.

"Hmph, you are lucky to stay alive after defiling this goddess' ethereal skin with your perverted hands. If it were not for the entanglement of our fates, I would have killed you a million times over." Luna said as her eyebrows lowered.

Damien shook his head in amusement, hearing her threats, "But I thought your spirit body was intangible. How was I able to touch you then?"

"Of course, I can choose when to materialize myself. Just this time, I didn't expect you to be so perverted." Luna said as she curled her rosy lips.

Damien ignored her jab and asked, "So, can anyone else other than me see you, even after you materialize yourself?"

"I can decide whom all can see me. But you are the only one who can touch me unless I immaterialize myself. And I also cannot hide my presence from you obviously because of our soul link."

Damien slowly nodded his head as he thought that it made sense. He had wondered if others could see Luna if she didn't use her essence powers.

But he found out now that it was more related to her spirit body itself.

Then a sudden thought emerged in his mind, "Since I can comprehend Death Laws, do you think that one day if my cultivation is powerful enough, will I be able to take my revenge against the god who manipulated me?"

Luna heaved a sigh, "Do you think it's that easy to fight against a god? Especially a god adept in Destiny Laws? Sure, if you were born as a god and you had your Origin Seed, you would surely have some chance. But you are a mortal. Even I can't say for sure how powerful you can become. It all depends on many factors. In the end, it is up to you. But in my knowledge, no mortal can ever achieve divinity...at best, they can only achieve false divinity."

Luna paused for a moment as she stared at Damien, "But your eyes are telling me that no matter what I or others say, you won't suppress your thirst for power...and that you will exact your vengeance upon that god no matter what. But what if you found the person you are looking for? I guess it is some girl called 'Sofie', right? You shout out her name a few times when you sleep."

Damien's eyes flashed with some evocative feelings as he said, "If I reunited with Sofie, I wouldn't seek out revenge since Sofie matters the most to me. But I will never stop surpassing myself because I want to be ready in case anyone wants to hurt my loved ones, including any gods eager to die at my hands."

"Oooh, if there was one thing you can outdo this goddess, it would be your arrogance. And here you claimed that I was the arrogant one, hehe. No wonder the true owner of your Origin Seed gave away his legacy to you. You are the perfect successor to inherit the Anti-God Arts. But it's good to know that at least you are not stupid enough to ever stop progressing yourself."

Luna felt amused that Damien was already talking about killing gods, but she felt it was her liking. Since the more ambitious and determined Damien was, the faster he would rise to power.

Damien rolled his eyes, hearing her sarcastic remarks when he was talking about something serious.

"Forget that...why don't you tell me how to use my newfound powers?" Damien asked eagerly.

"That can wait till tonight. This goddess needs to sleep now. I will also give you an ethereal art to make use of your lightning element. You can't expect to fight your enemies without having any elemental, ethereal arts. Sure, your Anti-God Arts can even help you fight against stronger enemies, but an elemental, ethereal art would increase your combat prowess even further. It would be good support for your Anti-God Arts.

"And I take it that you don't need any soul cultivation techniques from me since your Anti-God Arts passively allows you to absorb the soul essence and even life essence of someone to improve your own cultivation. But remember that you should save fifty percent of each soul essence you absorb for this goddess."

"Of course, you need not worry about that." Damien softly chuckled.

'Ha...I can't wait for tonight.' Damien was inwardly excited, thinking about how he would learn to use his Anti-God Arts by night, and was looking forward to what kind of lightning ethereal arts Luna would give him.

"I am going to take a nap. You should get back to your gardening job and fulfill your duties as a dutiful servant." Luna dropped in a quick gibe with a provoking grin and disappeared into her Shard Of Essence before Damien could even retort.

"You cheeky, little imp!" Damien bared his teeth. But there was only silence from the other end.

'Wait till I make you know your place one day.' Damien inwardly swore.

He then noticed that almost an hour had passed since Lily left.

'Phew, today was really an eventful day. Hmm, I should continue my alchemy experiments today evening onwards. But I guess I can't wait to receive the ethereal arts from Luna tonight.'
