Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army - Chapter 437: PROBING

For the next few decades, Yunan and Tasha accompanied each other as they digested their gains, the oddly peaceful take over gave each of them the chance to improve their control, further their domain and a bit more insight about creation.

In the void, as Yunan and Tasha meditated, there was a hubbub among the Primordials, they were ecstatic, but for different reasons, namely two major camps among the Primordials, worry and fun.

The Primordial of Fate was having a fit, he was slowly losing his grip on his domain, he could feel it coming, although the effect from only two corrupted Fates was negligible, as a Primordial who could see into endless timelines, the end did not look very good if Yunan kept tuning the Fates of universes murky and unreadable.

The rest of the Primordials in the worried camp were all talking about the Effort divinity and how it took in everything, they were worried they would be absorbed as soon as Yunan ascended once more.

The second major camp was the one filled with Primordials excitedly watching Yunan and his next move, they viewed the actions of Yunan as a fresh breath in the still void, they claimed that even if Yunan came after them later on, it was better than the unmoving lives they had led so far, even if he did not ascend, his disruption of the rules was kinda cute.

To them, once Yunan became a Primordial, he would be mired in the need for endless amounts of Faith, therefore, even if he started a war, he would just sit quietly after exhausting his reserves in a battle or two.

The rest of the Primordials were either unconcerned, sleeping or just did not feel like they should bother themselves, no matter what happened, the big guy above was still suppressing everything beneath, therefore, unless something could shake that guy, they would not care.

‘The guy above’ was what they called the enormous eye that looked down upon them once in a while, none of the Primordials knew what it was, by the time they were capable of reaching into the void it was there, the rules about no fighting and how the selection of the universes should go, they were already established, the oldest Primordials refused to talk about those times, saying that only death and suffering were what awaited any who dug into the past.

For the primordials, they were amassing Faith trying to reach higher levels, although it has been aeons upon aeons, the strongest among them was nothing close to the giant eye, the oldest Primordials who were accumulating Faith the fastest, they were silent and spent their time digesting Faith or sleeping to conserve power, they were old and decrepit and abhorred the idea of death.

If Yunan knew what was going on in the void, he would chuckle to himself, conquest was the only solution. if one could not reach those above, why wait, just grab them by the ankles and drag them down, even a swarm of ants could kill an elephant if they numbered enough and had enough strength to inflict minor injuries.

Tasha and Yunan flew forward to their next target, Yunan was taking in the enormous amounts of efforts in the new universe, an untapped reserve that has been accumulating for too long, and then the control from multiple domains, that, was a great harvest.

The new fragment of Fate also helped Yunan link with the efforts of the entire universe, causing the already large divinity to swell up, even more so, it was growing so large Yunan was doubting if he could control it, every time he connected to the divinity, his mirror image inside it smiled at him, it always allowed Yunan to access exactly as much Effort he needed, no more no less, and when probed, the mirror image showed complete subservience.

Seeing the mirror image still existing, Yunan decided maybe he should focus more on the divinity, even if he had perfect control of it, it was all thanks to the mirror image, if it decided to rebel, Yunan was sure he would lose his divinity so fast, he would not know what happened.

Therefore, Tasha was the one tasked with their primary defence and alertness, she did not have as much to digest and therefore had more time on her hands, meanwhile, Yunan spent the time during the journey to the next target in deep meditation.

For her gains, Tasha branched on to two new domains, concealment and desire, concealment was linked through her secrets domain and desire was granted through her newest identity as the lady of the night, as it turned out, people are more adept at making secrets of their desires than anything else, out of ten secrets, nine would have something to do with desires.

Those two domains were inherently linked to secrets but were also very minor, both considered as either evil or neutral, this association came from the tendency that evil gods would always be concealed well and would use desires to bait in more worshipers.

Tasha was not too busy, she was mostly was bored because she had no one to converse with, she had grown used to Yunan and his talks, and now that he silently sat there in deep meditation, she was so bored that she decided to pry into his secrets.

To Tasha, Yunan was the biggest secret of all, he had so many ways to do things and so many hidden cards up his sleeves that it was nearly maddening, she thought that looking into his secrets would be the challenge of her godhood, and since Yunan had never expressly forbidden her from prying into him, she only debated for a bit before her boredom took over, then with great enthusiasm started looking into the most superficial secrets.

She could not risk diving too deep and waking Yunan up, he was a good boss and would understand she told herself, but she feared that she might have to be the lonely guard for all their travels if he gains nothing due to her probing, therefore she decided to go with the little things first, the thing that he would not mind being found out.
