Slayer arrived in the void of a universe, staring at the location where a Murim World once existed.
All the worlds part of the Murim Genre had been used as fuel by Zaira to scheme against Faith Grounds. Thereby, she annihilated the Murim Genre itself.
Originally, this spelled an end for the genre. But thankfully for him, plenty of Murim Worlds had skipped genres in the past.
So, as long as he cleaned up the evolution aspects, he could restore these worlds to their rightful place—part of the Murim Genre.
'The deadline is before the Regression System and Apocalypse System recover from the after-effects of using their Core Skill Manifestation.' Slayer thought solemnly, 'I should be done with all my plans before that. Otherwise, in the current situation, there aren't any other threatening figures to divert Zaira's attention.'
Mascot was fighting the Systems, but she was, at the end of the day, just a Genre Representative. Meaning, despite all her power, she wouldn't actually be going all out to destroy the Systems.
Had someone like Arnark possessed as much power as her, Systems would have been wiped out in a matter of hours.
That was why, Mascot's actions were proving to be a headache for Zaira, but never a threat. After all, the killed Systems would simply revive. None of them would actually die.
Since Technocraft was currently preoccupied with Reincarnation System and Transmigration System, his worlds were currently in a defenceless situation.
Zaira had already started plans to turn them into farms for the Systems. In the worlds with Astral Network connectivity, Grade 2 Systems began to take action in large numbers.
Even though they were facing large losses, the Grade 2 Systems were resilient and were able to begin generating profits eventually. And that influx allowed the System World to stay afloat and not be strained to the limit by the Mental Energy expenditure in the war against Mascot.
This was why Mascot wasn't a threat. But the same couldn't be said about Slayer, for he possessed the power to kill and devour the Systems.
And he had been hunting them actively over the past few decades, having killed many Grade 2 Systems too by now. So, he was the strongest threat to the Systems at present.
"Phew…" Slayer exhaled slowly as he began to draw in power from the Fantasy World as the projections of countless professions appeared around him, their powers funnelling into him.
Snap!
Slayer made a crisp sound in the void from his snap, immediately causing a world to form before him. It was something he had conjured.
Thanks to Conjurer's efforts in developing the profession, after it was integrated, the Conjurer Profession became the strongest in the Fantasy World. And once integrated into the Fantasy World, it was like giving wings to a tiger, allowing Slayer to conjure things without limit.
He first used the Elf Race's Divination Specialist Profession to figure out the remnant laws of the universe.
With the Murim World—where the laws of the universe were the most concentrated upon—gone, a void had been created in the universe's foundation.
Therefore, through the Divination Specialist Profession, Slayer gained insight into the laws and the extent of damage they had suffered. Following that, through the Cartographer Profession, he extracted all the necessary information, using that as a template to retrace the functions and foundation of the original world.
Using the Minotaur Race's Formation Specialist Profession, he erected a formation in the conjured world, one that mirrored the original laws of the universe. This way, the formation took the load in areas of deficiency and allowed the timeline of the universe to flow once again.
Once the timeline was established, the major hurdle was over. Slayer conjured cities, countries, villages, Sects, Clans, etc. the basic setup that existed in a Murim World.
He conjured the people too, making them no different from real people. He also made other races and populated the world.
Using the Elf Race's Healer Profession and the Dwarf Race's Spirituality Profession, he imbued life in the people, birds, fishes, etc. Following that, using the Demon Race's Tamer Profession, he put them under his control, using that to form a contract with them through the Principal Arbiter Profession.
The contract was an illusion unleashed using the Elf Race's Illusion Profession. The illusions were catered to every single living being in the world, the contents making it seem as if they were living in the world as natural natives.
They were all influenced by the illusion though. The memories they retained, the emotions they possessed, the bonds they had formed, the livelihoods they had lived, everything was fabricated. But they weren't aware of that.
As it was unleashed through a contract, it couldn't be broken, not by anyone weaker than Slayer.
The people went about with their lives. The years passed as all races gave birth to their newborn. Unlike the first generation that just lived fabricated lives, the second generation was truly natives to the world.
And the moment the natives began to appear, their actions caused the broken laws of the world to begin healing. The formation helped support the universe's functions and eased the birth of the necessary laws to maintain the foundation of the world.
'Once the first generation dies, this world will truly become part of the Murim Genre.' This was Slayer's creation prowess, achieved through the usage of the countless Professions under him. He also had hundreds of Core Skills, Skills, and powers of other individuals helping him.
Slayer then went to another Murim universe's void and restored it with a world too. In this manner, he began to create a lot of Murim Worlds.
And from time to time, he arrived at the created worlds and finetuned any necessary arrangements. Moreover, he added a minor mechanism, one that would cause the fate of the world to naturally fuse with Arak's the moment he arrived there.
A lot of natives from Murim Worlds had expressed their willingness to gift all their power to Slayer. And hence, it was easy for him to bestow the same to the natives and turn them into Martial Artists and conceptualise the power system of the Murim Worlds.
Slayer also did the same for the Cultivation Worlds too. Even though they hadn't been used as fuel—like the Murim Worlds—by Zaira, the majority of them were crippled thanks to the betrayal of Immortal's army.
Therefore, Slayer had to fix these broken worlds and conjure new worlds himself, relying upon all his collected data to create Cultivation Worlds that catered to Anak's nature.
Basically, Slayer was crafting worlds with mindsets that were somewhat in line with Arak and Anak respectively.
His motives might be selfish, but the results of his actions were only beneficial to the multiverse. As to where he obtained the energy necessary to facilitate such a massive undertaking?
Systems!
He targeted worlds fully taken over by Grade 2 Systems. Since he could devour Systems, he did just that and as a result, sucked the entire world dry of all its resources.
He did the same to worlds transformed by Grade 3 Systems, offending countless superpowers. But in the end, he gained a tremendous volume of energy necessary to create so many worlds.
As the years spanned past, Arak had fused his fate with countless Murim Worlds. And as a result, he developed a strong connection with them.
Once his fate had fused with more than a couple dozen worlds, Slayer smirked and activated the hidden mechanism in the conjured Murim Worlds.
Immediately, these worlds stirred up as their essence flowed out, harmonising and synchronising with all their natives.
It created an ethereal energy wave that followed the ordains of fate and flowed into Arak.
Keuk!
Arak grunted in pain, both mentally and physically. He despaired when a violent stream of thoughts, wills, and emotions flooded his mind, destroying his original ego.
It was akin to a thunderstorm as the number of thoughts, wills, and emotions continued to flood in, clashing with anything and everything, resulting in a lot of chaos.
"Arak?" Ruora stared in fluster before collapsing to the ground helplessly upon watching Arak's figure dissipate into fragments of light. "What…is happening?"
A decade passed in such a fashion as the mental chaos subsided, settling down into groups as a couple dozen collective consciousnesses were formed. And the moment they appeared, the respective Murim Worlds whirred into life, unleashing an energy pulse.
Gong!
A collective consciousness suppressed the rest and took the reins. This was from a Murim World that Slayer had heavily invested in the development of. And now, it possessed a foundation at least a hundred times the second most developed Murim World.
And the people of this world had carefully been fed propaganda through the form of stories, folklore, legends, epic, and history, shaping the general mindset of the people towards his objective.
The moment this world took the helm within the mind, energy waves from the couple dozen Murim Worlds fused and conceptualised an entity, one depicting the core values of a Martial Artist that these Murim Worlds were based upon.
His eyes shot open as he stared at Slayer, bowing reverently, "I greet thy supreme."
"Good! Good! Good!" Slayer roared in happiness, overjoyed for the first time since his birth, "This is the good stuff!"
Genre Representative—Martial (Arak)!
