Monster Integration

"It is time," I said as the formation died down.

The clocking is finished; now, even if the world focused all its power on me, it wouldn't be able to discover me.

I once reminded myself not to use too much power; I could not afford to damage the world.

I need its core to power the gate. It is the only thing that could power it, and if I damage it further, it will take centuries or even millennia to heal the damage.

I do not have that much, I need to get out of here as soon as possible, and it won't be a problem as long as I control myself.

I got up and felt my legs shake; it had been a millennium since I walked. The injuries have made that impossible.

The chair disappeared inside storage. It is my most precious artifact; without it, I wouldn't have been able to heal fully.

Taking one more look around the hall, I began to walk toward the door, with each step becoming more confident than previous that by the time I reached the gate, I had gained complete control over his body.

Krrr!

I pushed open the gate and walked out, and stopped immediately to see old weakling kin shakingly kneeling.

"M…my lord," he said shakingly, but I did not even acknowledge and walked toward the realm gate. They might be from my tribe, but they are ants, and I would kill them all after I finished activating the gate.

It would be much better than dying in a dying world.

It is a place worse than hell; I had seen it with my own eyes and felt its withering air that seemed to suck the life out of anyone alive. Even with my protection, I wasn't able to stop myself completely from it burning my life.

I reached the realm-breaking gate, which is active, and stepped inside.

Soon, I was in the tunnel, which began to shake; seeing that, I immediately controlled my energies, and it stabilized.

Nearly a minute passed when I stepped out of the gate and immediately felt the world.

It is a small work with a labored pulse; the world is damaged. Though the damage is not huge, the constant conflict wouldn't let it heal fully.

I focused on the core, and a smile appeared on my face; it was strong enough to power the gate, and if I wished to, I would be able to take quite a few people with me, but all those I could take died and these quivering ants don't deserve it.

"M…My lord, the humans have killed our powerhouses; please wipe them out," said the common werewolf.

I did not even look at it as the body turned to ashes.

How dare the ant even talk to me? I feel some restraint; if these ants are from my tribe, anything else deserves to die.

A few seconds later, I walked out and immediately felt the world at even greater clarity, and a surprise couldn't help but appear on my face.

"A growing world," I said.

This is no normal world but a growing world; it has not yet completely matured to its limit.

If we had not invaded it, it would have reached Primary II in a hundred thousand years, and if it still had the potential left, then Primary III in a million years.

Such words are very rare that I almost felt regret that I am going to destroy it to power the gate.

I moved my sense from the core and spread it around the world, and a moment later, a smile appeared on my face.

"Found you," I said and was quite surprised they were not hiding; instead, they were waiting for it.

I disappeared, and the next moment appeared on the small island of black stone and got surprised to feel the suppression. Though, it is not powerful enough to suppress me in the slightest.

I looked at the bronze pyramid before turning to little humans coming toward me; as I focused on them, my eyes couldn't help but widen up.

"No wonder those eight had died," I said.

Each one of the humans is at the limit of Primary-I but has the strength of Primary II. A smile couldn't help but appear on my face seeing their confident face as if this much would be enough to do anything to me.

I would have been a little worried if they were actually at Primary II, but at this level, they are no threat to me.

Though, I am excited, as these ants would resist a little before getting crushed.

"Grimm," said the little human woman with a frosty aura, "Aerd, would do," I said with Grimm and could see them becoming alert as if I was going to attack them, which I would not, at least till I had my fun.

It had been millennia since I had fought, and I wanted to fight, even if it was against these ants. "Come, what are you all ants waiting for," I said, seeing them still standing.

Sup Sup Sup

"Since you want to die soon, we will grant you the wish," she said, and tens of thousands of frosty-glass lances materialized around her and came at me.

As they came, I felt the mist covering me, and at the same time, mirror shackles bound me from all the angels.

I hate Grand Arts; I had tried to practice them but was not suitable for any of them. So, I kill those who could practice them and take great joy in doing that.

The lances took time appeared in front of me, and I did not move; the simple defensive layer was more than enough to deal with them, and even summoning my bloodline armor would be too much against these ants.

Bang Bang Bang

Lances crashed against me and, as I had expected, exploded into the dust the moment they touched me.

They had not even sent a ripple across defensive skin.

"You all come at me and attack me with your strongest because once I move, you all will die," I said, looking directly into their little eyes; the mist of grand art is not powerful enough to impede my vision.

"You bastard!" screamed a male human and came at me with his spear.

It had appeared in front of me and attacked with the flaming spear covered in draconic hell flames.

The human has a dragon bloodline; I had fought a few with a dragon bloodline, they were quite strong, but I killed quite a lot of them.

They were quite delicious, and I am planning to eat this one and all the other humans. It might not satiate me, but it will do enough to pause the immense hunger I am feeling.

Which could only be satiated after I returned hope.

Crack Crack Crack

I moved my hand, destroying the mirror bindings, before flicking my finger at the fiery lance.

Bang!

My finger clashed against the spear, and I could see alarm appearing in human eyes before it began to take a step back rapidly.

A surprise couldn't help but appear on my face; seeing that, I thought it would shoot back with broken and bleeding, but it only took steps back.

It seemed like I had underestimated them, which is good as now; this battle wouldn't be as boring as I had thought.
