Speed Is King

But impossible or not, it was happening for real.

Elliot\'s soul power foundation was so solid and strong at that moment that even if he stopped right there and then, his soul would already be a true wonder of the universe!

The seconds ticked by very, very quickly for Dragon Apostle Golden Fire as he stared at Elliot\'s masterpiece with rapt attention.

Each second that passed brought new revelations to him and gave him tidal waves of ideas and potential applications, only to realize in the next second that his ideas were extremely unrefined and simple as Elliot put those applications in ways that blew his mind.

Dragon Apostle Golden Fire was like a primary school basketball prodigy watching a veteran 20x NBA All-star dominating in a high-stakes NBA Final!

He knew how to play the game, but damn it, Elliot was playing the game in such a manner that it felt like a completely different game!

Minutes. Hours.

Then a day passed.

Elliot had reached the halfway point of creating his Soul Power Structure.

By that time, a withering soul pressure was already emanating from Elliot\'s soul.

If a normal ancient outsider were to stupidly fall into where Elliot was by accident, (by accident because there was no way that ancient could make it alive by walking towards Elliot), his or her soul would immediately be crushed to pieces.

However, for all of his beasts and apostles, his soul power was like an uplifting beacon of light that radiated nourishing rays of light.

Their souls absorbed the soul energy that Elliot was subconsciously releasing and their own attempts in creating their Soul Power Structure all progressed at an incredible rate.

The contracts that they signed with Elliot also started to evolve to accommodate their growing power, and more importantly, to reflect Elliot\'s ever strengthening hold over them.

Because as quickly and as powerfully his beasts progressed in the power scale, their growth was still dwarfed by Elliot\'s own ridiculous rate!

Layer upon layer, Elliot continued to nurture and grow his soul. In his mind, the Law Runes swirled, deconstructed and reconstructed themselves in hundreds, thousands, then millions of combinations, creating wondrous effects that Elliot was free to choose and integrate into his soul arsenal.

One of the most powerful effects he had chosen was Soul Draw.

Soul Draw was basically the creation of soul power attracting nodes in his Soul Power Structure that would allow him to gather them in massive quantities from his surroundings!

And it was exactly what he was putting into effect at that moment.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The soul power around the area finally reached saturation point.

Minor soul explosions took place in the sky as the soul power which was gathered by Elliot\'s innate strength broke through the very fabric of soul space and overflowed into the physical realm!

In major fights, instead of having to rely on his personal soul strength to battle against the enemy, Elliot could marshal the entire soul power available in his vicinity and array them against his opponent.

Even if he didn\'t have his monstrous set of unique energies and strengths, just this simple effect would already render him completely undefeated in the universe.

When added to his arsenal, Elliot was like a 2 meter tall human being in a universe of tiny fleas.

How, just how could anyone fight against him?

Primals and Saints would fall with just a simple thought from him.

The universe and multiverse he was in had become a tiny pond that could not contain his massive dragon form.

And apparently, the universe agreed.

CRACK!!!!!!

The sound of a massive split suddenly sounded from high above the skies.

A devastatingly horrific aura started to seep through that crack and a sentient mind came to life in the skies above Elliot.

"YOU HAVE EXCEEDED THE SET POWER LIMIT IN THIS PLANE OF BEING." The sentient mind thundered without form.

"THREE DAYS. I WILL GIVE YOU THREE DAYS TO PUT YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER. AFTER THAT, HEAVEN WILL COME FOR YOU."

And just like that, the sentient mind and all of its horrific aura disappeared before Elliot and all of his beasts could even react.

But despite the abruptness of its appearance, its message was crystal clear.

Elliot would have to leave in three days, and there was completely nothing he could do about it.

Because…

That devastating and horrific aura… Was an unimaginable number of times stronger than even Elliot\'s full strength!!

If Elliot was a two meter man in a universe of fleas, then the sentient mind that had appeared in the sky earlier was… the sun!

Elliot\'s mind blowing rise to apex power and ultimate strength was so fast, that he had completely outgrown even the ability of the universe to contain him.

"Three days." Elliot sighed in frustration.

He can\'t believe that he just got another dateline to chase!

"F**k!!" He cursed. "I\'ll be damned if I sit quietly and accept this stupid dateline!!"

He was so pissed off that the usually calm and apathetic dragon attitude completely evaporated into thin air.

CRACK!!!!

Elliot retraced the crack in whatever soul space that had appeared earlier and forcibly ripped it open once more!!

872

"HEY YOU GOD DAMNED ASSHOLE! WHO THE F*** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO GIVE ME THREE F***ING DAYS?" Elliot roared in complete fury as the crack reopened and the horrific aura appeared once more.

"HMMM? THE LITTLE BABY HAS SOME TEETH." The sentient mind chuckled before unleashing a crushing soul attack on Elliot.

WHAM!!!!!

"COME FIND ME IF YOU SURVIVE. I AM GANRUK OF THE FIFTH HEAVEN. HAHAHA!" The sentient mind laughed and then closed the portal once more!

Back on the beach though, the sentient mind\'s simple soul attack had completely destroyed the life force of everything in a fifty mile radius that did not have a contract with Elliot.

And even so, Elliot and his beasts were left completely on the brink of death!

All of them were collapsed on the ground, blood seeping out profusely from everywhere.

But most tragic was, all of their progress in creating their Soul Power Structure was destroyed!!
