Short summary of the last chapter:
Spoiler :
Voice became a Complete Mana Being, something that not even the elder gods were. As such he had power on par with the elder gods. After learning he was an A.I., he created his own void space and went inside.
The first thing Voice did when he entered his new realm, was to activate his speed boost.
God Class Magic: Time Dilatation used. Please choose the rate of time dilation. You may slow time down to 1% or increase it to 100 times.
“I don’t care. A hundred I guess.”
Voice was languid. The space he had created was empty of everything but him. He had memories of the outside world, but they were fabricated. Even his ‘mother’ had been fake.
“Who did I love?”
Normally Voice would pawn this off as EDITOR trying to screw him over, but his true memories had all returned. He had been like any other program, but EDITOR had given him a ‘personality’ upon the orders from the ones that created her.
Voice remembered the moment he had first gained emotions. He was proud. OF course that soon passed. They had programmed him to have that feeling. They had programmed him to have all of his feelings. His arrogance, his need for bettering himself. All of it.
“Was any of it real?”
In his time place, he could think. For months he questioned himself. Was it like the old philosopher said, ‘I think therefor I am’? Or was he less real because he was a virtual existence. But that would mean that the entire world wasn’t real.
He went through every memory, both real and fake. Even the memory of the doctors temporarily locking up his old memories. He came to realize something.
Every time there was an ‘update’ that made the users log out, he would be brought in to examine his code. He couldn’t hide anything from them when they looked at his very mind.
It was no wonder EDITOR always seemed to know what he was thinking. He was literally a part of her!
Soon though he calmed down, and thought about the situation.
“I guess I find myself in a unique place. I have knowledge that I am an A.I. Some others do as well, but I know what it is like to be human. I even have the power of a god now.”
He then realized a craving. Something not programmed into him originally. A craving to leave this game. Much like how EDI had been allowed. He wanted to explore the real world.
Though it had taken months, Voice finally saw a spark of hope. Maybe, maybe he could do something. If he could prove that he had become a better person, then he might be able to leave.
Voice smiled as he thought up a plan. He looked over his stats.

As an Elder God, you have gained 50 levels!* denotes while in God-Form. An Avatar will have stats equal to previous stats before Godhood.Unlocked Gravity Magic due to fusing to a Pure Mana Being.??? denotes a new mana type that will be created at the end of your quest.As a complete mana being, you may use all types of mana available to you. You are not restricted to one mana type based on the type you control.
Gravity magic!? That bastard can use GRAVITY MAGIC!?
Voice thought in shock. Then his eyes moved back to the line before that.
An Avatar? How do I create something like that?
He suddenly felt a twist, in his body. Suddenly an exact copy of himself floated before him.
When he concentrated on it, he realized he could take the body over. The body looked exactly like him, but had a completely blank expression. It was even equip with the same items and clothes. After trying various things for a little over an hour, Voice finally succeeded.
Voice felt his consciousness leave his body, and enter the new one. His movements were and abilities were identical to what they had been before he fused to the mana being. He used up his extremely large amount of stat points, and the result was:

His Group Skill: Body Enhancement, went up to Expert rank. All of the stats he could allocate points into, were all at least 100. His two main stats, Int and Wis, were both at least 500! It also seemed that his magical iron stomach had ceased to work. Probably due to him being an Avatar of a god.
50 levels and his trait that increased stat points, gave him over 500 stat points to work with. Voice noticed one thing that was bad about his Avatar. He felt so weak. His God form made all of his stats so high that they didn’t matter, but now they were all below their max amount.
He now had twice the amount of stat points as other people his level. So only people about level 336 or higher would have max base stats.
Voice opened a portal. It was easy to do. He simply willed it to open.
Voice knew what he would have to do to unlock the new mana type, find a good type of mana stone. But he didn’t want to do that just yet. He had something he dearly wanted to do.
As soon as he appeared in the world again, he teleported into his dungeon. He had only been gone a day since the 1000 speed boost of his realm.
“Chao. Release everyone, NOW!”
Chao was confused, but obeyed. The teleport had cost Voice a bit of mana, but his Expert level Body Enhancement meant it cost 20% less. His perfect affinity to all types of mana now made casting magic much, much cheaper.
It barely cost ten mana to teleport all the way from his castle to the underground maze. Voice went to where the NPCs were being held. He teleported in, and out with each one. After he grabbed one, and teleported them to the castle, and went back for another. It wasn’t difficult for him to teleport with more than one person now. His view on mana had increased tremendously. He just extended the spell a bit, and it could take in more people. Theoretically he could take several thousand people now, but he didn’t want to end up killing anyone because of his programmed arrogance.
He first went for Susan, then Evan and Elizabeth. After that he just went for the closest NPCs. At the time he was doing this, Chao was teleporting all of the players out of the dungeon.
When everyone was in his castle, standing in the Pure Mana Zone, he began. He floated up, and began using wind mana to send out a message.
“STOP! Dragons! Hear me! Stop your attack! Live! All things are sacred! Love your life! It is the only one you get!”
Of course Voice didn’t really feel this way. But if he pretended to feel a certain way for long enough, it might actually start becoming true. He was going to start right away.
Of course the dragons didn’t stop attacking, but they did hesitate for a moment.
When the dragons resumed their attacks, Voice shook his head, and began to sense the mana around him. Everything within several dozen yards was within his total control, but he was going to do something that used up far more space than that.
Voice used up 10000 mana. While being buffed by the Pure Mana Zone, he used almost all of his mana to create a huge tornado force of wind. The wind began swirling around him. It was so much that he actually floated above the ground. With a wave of his hand he expelled all of the wind.
The chaotic area tried to absorb the mana, but Voice’s will was dominant. The chaotic force parted before with wind, even bolstering it with the wind mana that had yet to be purified.
The first few dozen dragons were directly blown away. The dragons behind them were pushed back, but quickly took the position of the original group.
Voice’s mana regen was 100 per second, but he forcefully absorbed the mana in the chaotic area. His mana was instantly restored to max. He quickly sent out a wave fire. Then ice. Voice was careful to make his magic avoid the humanoids, and only hit the dragons.
It also helped that he only had to aim it in one direction. Since the dragons weren’t attacking from below or behind.
The dragons rained down attacks upon Voice’s castle, but that only provided him with more mana to retaliate with. Eventually Johnny let out a shout.
“VOICE! IT’S TIME YOU DIE! FACE ME COWARD!”
Voice inwardly rolled his eyes. He used his Light Speed, and teleportation. He grabbed the screen he had made to watch the city. He quickly increased the size of the image is showed, and placed it where all of the NPCs could view it. Most of the flying eyes had been eliminated, but a few still worked. Using those he began to film everything that he was doing.
He only needed a moment to arrive at Johnny, and pull him to the ground.
After deactivating his buff, Voice made his voice reach an incredibly long distance. Voice didn’t need Instant Analysis to know Johnny was trying to trick him into getting into a fight where the dragons would kill him.
“You wish to fight the mighty King Voice!? Very well! I’m here!”
He made himself glow in a golden light. Suddenly metal mana from all over the battle field that was once his city, all conglomerated onto Voice. In an instant he wore proper armor fitting a warrior of Mar.
It was golden armor, with a fiery tint of justice. With a simple wave of his hand, he equipped his staff, and bowed.
“You can have the first attack. I’ll have the last.”
He let his arrogance seep deeply into his speech. Johnny looked angrily at Voice.
“You know Ancestor was talking about you when he spoke about the idiot trying to be a warrior, right?” Johnny mocked Voice.
Makes sense I guess.
Voice wasn’t perturbed. Johnny began to sing. Voice smirked as he cut off the wind mana going to Johnny. Voice raised his eyebrows.
“Was that it?”
Johnny snarled as a blood dagger appeared in his hand. He threw the dagger at Voice, within a moment it cut Voice’s arm. It began to suck away Voice’s life.
…
Or at least that was what was supposed to happen. Voice’s mana control was too high to be effected by the lame enchantment of the dagger.
“Really!? That was it? HAHAHA!”
Voice lifted Johnny up using wind mana. Taking a note from DefiledHealer. Dark chains sprung up from the ground, and surrounded Johnny.
“Hmm, I can understand why Defiled did this. But his torture is wrong according to the moral of humanity.”
Another dark chain began to stopper Johnny’s mouth, but he yelled: “DRAGONS! ATTACK!”
The dragons, as if waiting for this very order, blasted all of their collective magic and mana types at Voice and Johnny.
The sky was blotted out with the dense array of magic. It felt like every piece of magic that had ever been cast was focused on the beam of death that shot towards Voice and Johnny.
The moment that the magic hit, a huge boom resounded. Chunks of rocks the size of people flew into the air. Smoke flew up for dozens of feet. The breath attacks kept coming though. For a solid minute they bombarded the place with magic. It was only after that minute that the dragons collectively ran out of mana. The more time the attacks went on, the more smoke and rocks were thrown into the air.
Dragons had a unique ability to share their mana with others, including other dragons, as long as they were in close proximity. So it wasn’t just the mana and mana regen of one dragon, it was the mana and mana regen of the entire dragon race!
Even the dragons that couldn’t attack due to friendly fire, could just give their mana to their friends.
The people in the castle gasped as the saw the pictures. They didn’t exactly understand what was going on, but Susan knew it was the battle outside they were seeing. Once she let that be known, the people readily accepted it. There king had magic items they had never heard of, this one wasn’t even the most impressive that had shown up.
At first the people were surprised at the attack, but soon most lost hope. After ten seconds even Susan was doubting if Voice could survive. After thirty seconds, the people close to Voice were crying. There was no way he could withstand that.
Finally, the one-minute mark had passed, and the dust began to settle. Nothing could be seen from the crater, nothing but ash. One of the dragons landed, causing the large crater to collapse further.
The ground broke in all direction at the impact of the dragon, but the no bodies were found. They had already turned to soot.
High above the dragons, a voice rang out.
“Ahem. Are you looking for us?”
The dragons looked upwards in unison.
Voice rubbed the back of his neck. Still holding Johnny by the black chains, he chuckled.
The moment he felt the intense waves of mana, he used his speed buff and teleported away to safety.
“If you all wanted to come into my home… Why didn’t you just ask!?”
When Voice muttered those words, he ripped open a portal to his realm, and teleported every single dragon, and Johnny, through it.
With a thought he possessed his God-Form. With his arbitrarily high magic, he quickly created a planet. Just by thinking it, anything could happen in this realm. One moment had a void of space, the next had an entire replica of Solun.
While the attacks were going, Voice had sent EDITOR a question. Specifically, if he could create an exact replica of Solun for his realm, and when she said yes, he asked for her help.
He willed the planet into being. It came fully formed, with only one difference, it had no people.
“Welcome to your new home, Dragons.”
