Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend's soul was durable. It quickly healed as soon as the damage was done to it. Nevertheless, it still hurt a lot.

The soul was different from the physical body. It was hard to ignore pain when it was directly inflicted on the soul.

"Domain!" Lawrend shouted.

The laws around Lawrend changed drastically. The missing laws of the demon world returned. The skies turned blue again and everything around him looked like the human world.

"Impossible!" West gawked in disbelief.

He thought he was talented to be able to understand the laws of the demon world in a thousand years, but seeing Lawrend's achievement right now, he felt ashamed.

"I'm Lawrend Ignis."

West sensed his control over the demon world vanish. He became a normal mage with no direct influence over the world.

"Shatter, Compress, Superheat, Explode, Star, and Supernova!"

West tried his best. He limited his control to a small amount of fire mana. This allowed him to control them.

By only controlling a smaller amount, he was able to increase the power of his control. He was thus able to bypass Lawrend's interference.

Bright flashes of light exploded around Lawrend. The fire mana created mini-supernovas all around him.

These supernovas were significantly stronger than his own Supernova spell. He quickly forced his control and deflected the explosions back.

"My name… I see. It has been ordained since the start that I will rend laws from the universe…" Lawrend whispered.

A flash of excitement filled his face. His heart was calm, and his thoughts were fluid. A feeling of satisfaction overwhelmed his whole soul.

"Universe, give me your laws!"

Lawrend's voice boomed across the Demon World and the Human World. Every being that could understand his words understood it.

Even a baby knew what he wanted.

The universe roared back and a bright white light washed his vision. He saw nothing but white. He was in an endless white space.

West was focused on attacking Lawrend with his magic when he was also blinded. The white light surrounded Lawrend, and he felt the universe embracing him.

All of the laws possible appeared and disappeared in that white space. Lawrend sensed them all. Many of them were familiar, but countless more were present.

The laws of the human world and the demon world were nothing before this sea of laws. The universe contained infinite possible laws.

No matter what it was, even if it sounded impossible, it was possible with the correct set of laws.

"I WILL REND LAWS AND MAKE THEM MY OWN!!!"

Lawrend's Will created a shockwave that shook the hearts of all beings from the human world and the demon world. Each could feel his desire to create his own world from scratch.

…

In a dark space, an eye-stunning Goddess floated silently. She snapped her head, and her eyes peered through space and time to see Lawrend.

"Magnificent. Your destiny is about to be fulfilled," she whispered.

…

The old man with a long beard was watching a bunch of Heaven Mages fight below him. He was contemplating whether to interfere or not when he sensed Lawrend's powerful will.

"THIS KID!?"

The old man was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say or think about Lawrend. The little guy was improving too fast.

"I hope he's not an enemy…"

The old man was worried about the future of the human world.

…

A faint gray shadow appeared in the white space. Lawrend stared at it, and he felt a reverence and submission that stemmed directly from his soul. He was facing something, or rather, someone that was even beyond the Goddess.

"The universe is endless. My thoughts are your existence. My anger is your anger. My happiness is your happiness. You are Law-Rend. Tell me why you want access to the infinite laws of the universe," the gray shadow said in a monotone voice.

Lawrend could tell that it was a man, but if he thought more, it felt like he heard the voice of a woman. Those two overlapped, and Lawrend couldn't fathom the gender of this being.

"I want to create a world where I can live forever with my maids and children," Lawrend replied.

"Denied. You have two more chances."

Lawrend was shocked. He was genuine about what he said. Those words came from within his heart and soul.

But it was still rejected.

"I want to become a God!" Lawrend said once more.

He was feeling desperate. He had no idea what was going on. No one prepared him for these questions.

"Denied. Your last chance."

"I…"

Lawrend closed his eyes and felt his deepest thoughts from within his soul. His life flashed before his eyes. All of his memories were relived in a few seconds.

"I want to be free. I don't want to fear anyone. I want to live a life where I can enjoy what I want without worrying about a Goddess or an Emperor," Lawrend said in a sincere voice.

"..."

The gray shadow stared at him for a bit. Lawrend's heart pounded. He didn't know if this was accepted or not.

"Accepted. This is your deepest desire. It was not to create your own world. It was to be free from fear.

"You are here because you want to protect those that you love. You are here because you want to enjoy what you want. You are not here because you want to be powerful. You are here because you have something you love.

"Lawrend Horiel Ignis or… Brandon Sumiyaki, you have been granted access to the source of the laws of the universe…"

The voice faded away and so did the gray shadow. Lawrend could finally see through the white light.

There were no treasures, nor world, nor beautiful women. There was a vast web of light. Each dot contained a miniature world.

Every possible thing of creation was there. Every possible scenario existed. There was a world where Lawrend died when he first met Aezel.

And then all of the worlds where Lawrend succeeded flashed with rainbow colors. These tiny dots were so small he could only barely see them.

All of the memories from all of these worlds. These Lawrend overlapped together and then they disappeared.
