Fenrir’s Journey: I Shall Devour The Heavens - Chapter 94

Noticing that her powers were quickly growing beyond her control, Fenrir had been forced to find an isolated area to try and calm herself. She was still determined to destroy the current system but, with her power beginning to affect innocents, Fenrir had no choice but to try and calm down before she could continue her purge.

Now, in an area several thousand kilometers from the closest settlement, a massive abyss had appeared where a mountain once stood. It seemed to stretch down into eternity but, if you allowed yourself to free-fall for nearly three days, you would eventually find yourself face to face with a large black star that was illuminated by blue light.

At the very center of this star, which had spread nearly 500m in diameter, a figure could be seen floating in the air. They were seated in the lotus position, completely naked as the energy around them devoured everything that came into contact with it.

In the beginning, Fenrir had been unable to calm down, no matter how much she tried to focus on her cultivation, so she had resorted to just letting her energy flow freely as she did her best to seek comfort. This was fueled by the memories she had of her Master and, by the time she awakened from her frenzy, she had already carved a massive swath of destruction through the planar world, passing through hellish landscapes and icy planes along the way.

Fortunately, due to the inherent nature of Devouring Laws, they could not be sensed through normal methods as the energy would simply devour anything attempting to probe it. Thus, unless you knew what you were looking for, even the most perceptive practitioners wouldn’t be able to sense Fenrir’s presence in her current state.

This wasn’t exactly Fenrir’s intent but, if it allowed her to be left alone, she didn’t mind letting her energy continue to run rampant. Her strength was rapidly increasing along with the size of her aura so, in order to obtain enough strength to wipe out all her enemies, she continued to devour the very environment around her with impunity. This included various precious resources and, in some cases, her energy even discovered powerful figures who had been sealed away and forgotten by time.

The only downside to allowing her Devouring Laws to run rampant was that, alongside her increased reserves of energy, Fenrir’s hunger had continued growing. She was able to keep it at bay but, the more her shroud devoured, the larger her appetite became. Her instincts told her that, if she could not gain full control over it, the energy would eventually expand to devour everything, including the very heaven’s themselves.

In order to prevent this, Fenrir was repeating a custom mantra within her mind. This was the same as the Activation Key for her Magic and, without an anchor to rely on, Fenrir could only repeat, “Master, give me strength…” in her mind. She had even stopped thinking entirely as, if her focus drifted even slightly, the shroud around her would cause her to sink further into the planar world as it absorbed an ever-greater amount of energy…
