Chapter 98: Devouring the Magician, A Feast of Laws!
"No... don't come any closer! Don't kill me!"
Watching "us" slowly approach step by step, the "Magician's" handsome face completely contorted with extreme terror, losing every bit of his previous elegance and composure.
Like a dog with its spine removed, he scrambled backward on the ground using both hands and feet, his eyes filled with endless pleading and... despair.
"I... I was wrong! I failed to recognize your greatness! I beg you, let me go!"
"I can give you money! Lots and lots of money! I can even tell you a massive secret! About this world, about..."
"We are not interested."
"Our" voice, cold and indifferent, cut off his meaningless begging.
For an enemy who had just intended to exile us completely to the Dimensional Void, leaving us with no hope of rebirth for eternity, we would not show even a shred of... mercy.
"We" reached out a hand.
It was a nearly perfect hand, blending Lin Qingzhi's slender grace with my aggressive and possessive lines.
Then, with a gentle clench, we aimed at the "Magician" who was still fruitlessly and incoherently begging for mercy.
[Law Prototype: Devouring], activate!
Buzz—!
The space around the "Magician" suddenly jolted!
Immediately after, a black energy vortex—pure, twisted, and filled with endless suction—formed violently with his body at its center!
"Ah—! No! What is this?! My energy! My law power! It's... it's draining away!"
The "Magician" let out the most shrill and incredulous scream of his life!
He could clearly feel the spatial power he had cultivated for over a hundred years, which he relied on for survival, being crazily, greedily, and irrationally stripped and devoured by that black vortex like a bursting dam!
He wanted to resist; he wanted to struggle.
But before "our" most primal [Devouring] law, which bordered on the "Dao" itself, his prideful Space Law was as fragile as a three-year-old's building block castle—easily dismantled and collapsed with overwhelming force!
"No! Mercy! I am willing to submit! I will offer my soul imprint and be your slave for all eternity!"
His begging became increasingly humble and hysterical.
But "our" face remained fixed in that eternal, god-like indifference.
In less than ten seconds.
That once-arrogant "Magician," who had played with the Space Law in the palm of his hand, was completely devoured by us—along with his physical body, energy, law insights, and even... his soul!
Only an empty, well-made black tailcoat and a Walking Stick remained on the ground, the ruby atop the stick having completely dimmed.

Boom!
An incredibly majestic and vast torrent of information, filled with the mysteries of space, flooded into "our" mind!
"We" slowly closed our eyes, quietly digesting this... unprecedented "feast of laws."
Lin Qingzhi's soul, belonging to the Empress, greedily absorbed the "Magician's" insights and understanding of the Space Law, mending the law deficiencies caused by her rebirth.
As for me, I converted all that purest energy into my own... evolution points!
An unknown amount of time passed.
When "we" opened our eyes again, those eyes filled with divine radiance held an extra layer of... depth, as if they could see through space and discern dimensions.
The corners of "our" mouth curled into a satisfied arc.
However, just then—
Crack...
An extremely faint sound, like glass shattering, came from within "our" body.
"Our" body jolted violently!
The fusion was about to end.
This [Chaos Form] body, composed of pure energy and divine souls, had finally reached its... limit after enduring such a massive surge of energy.
