Hope you enjoy this chapter! :-D
Let me tell you a little something to why it has been so long… the illnesses I got while I was away was dengue hemorrhagic fever and gastritis at the same time… XD glad to say I am somewhat have recovered and will continue my updates of 1-3 days per update, of course because of so much time has passed I want to keep up so I will shorten the time to 1-2 days per update, just one day if possible :-) . I really missed you guys and I hope that even so much time have passed you will continue to read also, each volume I will put in at the start a introduction of the characters or should I say, character page at the end for those who can’t keep up with the characters… also might I say that after 200+ or even more chapters there is a chance of a book 2 with a different MC XD. The world I made is just too vast… it might even get to 10+ books who knows XD. (just a dream for now… the second book if possible to have another is called the “Astral Soldier” or just a speculation. XD)
I also went and bought a new usb keyboard using my allowance as another reason I haven’t write is that the keyboard on my laptop stopped working (only some of it: D, H, B, V and many other keys and its quite annoying as I use some of the letters quite a lot.) I have made it so many people who I knew to read it by sending it by e-mail. One of my dreams is to become a “real” writer of course you can define “real” as in official. I have made many stories in my childhood, even a book called “Demetralisp – A Story of Hope” at the age of 8 and it was quite enjoyable with 69 chapters. XD Ahh… a writer’s dream should I say…
Also… I need to catch up in college, the finals are coming… DX
This chapter took me a while as it is double the amount of a usual chapter… :-D

Chapter 93.5 – Goddess of Law and Order
Murix’ POV
Hahh… each and every day the first thing I do is sighing and look over the possible problems and solve them. I know how hard it is for each and every God of law to govern a world but we are needed nonetheless. A world mostly cannot operate without such Gods governing them. I had heard of a few worlds had managed, but it is extremely rare. Genbalt and Zanth aren’t much trouble but those who really bring trouble with them are Lonlei and Folia. I can understand Folia as she is a Goddess of chaos but for Lonlei to also cause such chaos brings me such stress… I mean sometimes the chaos she causes is much more than the Goddess of Chaos! Hahh…
Lonlei: U-uhm Murix…
Murix: (Here we go again…)
Lonlei: Can you please check the land of fire… ehe.
Murix: (Don’t giggle like that… it just makes me more anxious… now let me see…)
Murix then channels the mana into her head as a flood of information swept through her mind; she closes her eyes and tries to read them carefully.
Murix: Lonlei… overpopulation once again… and this time there is a chance of destroying the lands of darkness and the lands of light… of all the species to overpopulated it has to be the fire titans!?
Let me explain, the fire titans are a massive creature made of fire that has a humanoid figure, they have extremely low birth rates which was configured by me as just a group of them can overpopulate a volcano which was their home. Once the volcano becomes overpopulated which was one in a million chance, it has happened only 2 times throughout history as when the Gods have found out about it they will immediately act. They tend to leave it in search of a new volcano to live in and of course I can’t just have the other God make a volcano as a number of them are regulated, too much volcanoes will harm the order. And once they leave the volcano, they leave behind a trail of disaster… fire storms, lava rains, droughts and many more…
Lonlei: I-Its not my fault… I mean… I can’t help it if their emotions and feelings get swept up with mine… I just want someone to love…
Murix: (A Goddess of love confused about love, she has dated many men and so far none of them managed to reach her… please for the Gods of Love PLEASE let her finally find someone…) Hahh… I’ll handle the rest… just don’t cause anymore trouble…
Lonlei: I’m sorry once again Murix…
Lonlei said with an apologetic expression as Murix’ expression calms… Lonlei then leaves as Murix walks towards a mirror; an image becomes visible as a man was holding something with an overly serious expression. He looked like a tall man wearing a pair of glasses with a feeling of danger emanating from him despite his gentle appearance; he has a pair of dark silver eyes with a long flowing azure hair and slim face. He was holding a white sphere which seemed to be a soul as he then releases it to the air as it vanishes. Zanth was always an overly focused and serious God. I am still surprise by the fact that a “special” God like him would join Lord Nebulus’ clan, I can understand Genbalt but somehow it has been bugging me for a long time.
Murix: Zanth are you there?
Zanth: Chief, is there something you need… is it Lonlei?
Zanth said with a solemn expression. He calls me chief as I am the second in command after Lord Nebulus. Speaking of Lord Nebulus, I handle the affairs as well as the governance of the Land of light, which is why most of them are linked to me. I got to be impressed of Lord Nebulus’ creations, they are all mostly of high class creations, you can find many ranked S and Xs in that land and gives me a lot of achievements but if Lord Nebulus were to take that position back I would gladly give it to him as it was his in the first place after all. Still I admire that he isn’t much into power like other Gods but I can feel a lot of potential in him. All the things he was supposed to do were done by me and Genbalt. I don’t have time for myself at all… as for the current state…
Murix: Yes… it seems this time the overpopulated ones is the fire titans…
Zanth: I see… of all the creatures it had to be that…
Murix: Fire titans… Normally their numbers don’t exceed a hundred… now…
Zanth: How much is it this time…
Murix: Five thousand…
Zanth: H-how is that… w-well if its Lonlei… s-still… with that much it can dry up an ocean…
Murix: Anyways… can you summon a tsunami that can swallow them up?
Zanth: Of course, there has to be balance… even a hundred can barely fit in a volcano… but five thousand… I bet they are trying to find more volcanic lands… to stay and if they continue further…
Murix: Yes… the lands will become a sea of magma and fire…
Zanth: Hahh… anyways I will see to it immediately. But I can only handle four thousand of them as if I go further, even the tsunami will dry up instantly.
Murix: Even so thanks Zanth.
Zanth then nodded as the image fades in the mirror.
Murix: Well that’s taken care of, what about Folia? Also, I need to find a way to restrict them as making the waters to sweep them up will take some time; I need to contain them somehow… but first…
I then tried to see over the land of darkness and saw that the ones there are preparing for war. Afterwards, I then look over the void’s city where her main maiden resides. I am curious of the affairs… it seems they are once again planning a war against the land of light, what a pain and if my thought are correct, her creation didn’t bother in telling her… I then try to pry her.
Murix: Can you tell me about the war?
Folia: What war?
Murix: (As expected… if she were to be asked to join a war, she would either refuse or makes things more chaotic. I said to her that if she causes too much trouble I will scold her. Strange thing is that whenever I scold her, her face will visibly frown and tear up… is my one year sermon that horrible!? Also, it seems she truly is clueless of the war, maybe the beings of darkness somehow kept it from her and will start a spontaneous war so that the Gods will not know of it immediately. As for me, the beings of light are aware of their plans as they saw through their façade and contacted me. They found out that some of the major powers are moving.)
Folia: I-I didn’t do anything wrong this time, why have you visited me?
Murix: I visited you because…
Suddenly, as I look over her mirror I can see… the castles melting as the void race people were falling off of it as they then becomes stuck as if it was cement as the melted parts of the castle hardens… if I remember correctly, that is the work of one of Lord Nebulus’ artifacts the wand of liquefaction, for her to gain hold of it must be Genbalt’s doing… well if it keeps her from troubling the other lands then I can just leave it be and let her deal with it.
Lexa: Lord Folia, the prank request you wanted is done… is…
Folia: Sh-shh!!
Lexa: Ah! I-I-I am sorry, Lord Murix I didn’t notice you had a private meeting with Lord Folia, pardon the intrusion!
Lexa said as she closes connection with the mirror as she began to tremble as cold sweat started to gather on her face… she then looks away from me as she becomes nervous…
Folia: I-I am sorry Murix I…
Murix: Never mind that, I came here for a far more important reason and I know you can’t hold in your inner chaos, you are a Goddess of chaos after all.
Folia: Phew, still I am glad you didn’t scold me…
Murix and Folia then laughed as they continued on with their conversation. Normally a God of Law and a God of Chaos could never get along. Of course there are extremely rare cases like Folia and Murix whom were getting along quite well despite the stress she causes her.
Murix: I am just here to warn you, Lonlei let lose thousands of fire titans so be careful and try to protect your governed land. I left Zanth to handle it and at most maybe two or three thousand may pass through the lands of darkness, of course some of it may pass through the land of light so I set up some of my maidens to take care of it.
Folia: Wh-what!? What did you just say…?
Folia then looks at me as if her pride was hurt as she then changes from sorrow to admiration as she thought of Lonlei’s chaos.
Folia: S-seriously, that girl causes more trouble than me and I think even to me this is too much… as even I won’t go as far as to let my chaos kill the precious children in our governed lands.
Murix: That, I agree… anyways, as for the land of darkness I brought my main maiden Scalia to handle the fire titans here and help you locate them.
Folia: Oho? Little Scalia is here?
A figure then appears in front of them, she has silky long grey hair and a majestic and gentle smile. She was very beautiful with a modest figure and attire that radiates innocence. She was wearing a white dress and a pair of metallic gauntlets that emanates extreme power that seems off with her appearance.
Folia: Your first creation, Scalia, oh it seems she had become more powerful hmm?
Folia then uses God’s Eyes and looks at her as she appears in the mirror hanging on the wall in Murix realm as well as the pair of gauntlets.
ScaliaTitle:Dragonic Overlord of Order, God Murix’ MaidenRace:Arc Law DragonGenderFemaleLevel:1452ClassUltimate EnforcerExistence:X-S
Oricalcum Gauntlet, Gravitiga Type:S Class Metallic WeaponDurability:15492 / 15492Skills:Evolution, Gravity Field, Strength+, Distortion Burst, Mass Change, Gravity Nova“Originally a golden gauntlet made by the God of the Earth and Sky Genbalt as a present for the first being requested by Murix in hopes for her to, in the future, to not be so hard to him in terror in witnessing her anger.”(Hidden by Genbalt for Murix to see.). A oricalcum gauntlet that has harnessed great power of gravity in the hands of its first user Scalia, the main maiden of Murix.
Scalia then sees Murix and Folia as she stood with Lexa in the castle room and gently bowed towards them. She then looks at Murix with deep reverence and love as she thought of her as her mother as she was the one that created her. It was quite the same for Lexa but a little different as Lexa thinks of Folia as a troublemaking type of motherly figure but has deep love for her nonetheless and follows her orders as well as if she goes too far Lexa will always see to it that Folia will control herself.
That is why Murix has a good impression of Lexa and praised Folia for her creating her. Of course at first Folia wanted someone that goes along with her pranks but Lexa seemed to grow on her despite her attitude. The only God that can control emotions are emotion type Gods like Lonlei and has configured all the beings of self mental growth depending on the environment, that is why Lexa became like this.
Scalia: Lord Murix, Lord Folia… I am deeply moved to see of you wanting to get my aid in this matter.
Folia: Hahaha! I remember when Scalia was just a little child she kept calling Murix Mama Murx and look at her now, it has been so long.
Scalia: G-geez Lord Folia please don’t tease me so much, also it has been just thousands of years since we last met in the meeting of the maidens held once every millennia…
Folia: Anyways, Lexa you help too. I think both of you will be enough on taking them on.
Lexa: Yes Lord Folia!
After giving orders to the two, we then set off from Folia’s realm and entered the land of darkness in our spirit form where none except the two maidens can see us. Doing such a thing costs a ton of mana even for us Gods and so there is a limit in going out of the pantheon. Afterwards it will leave us completely exhausted, that is why we Gods mostly never go out of the pantheons. Rumor is that the God Emperor can leave the pantheon at any length and can semi-release his spiritual form to interact with the world though it is just a rumor…we then see the skies becoming red as a crimson tide seems to get closer from afar. It was the fire titans and it seems that there are a thousand and five hundred or more getting closer. I then hear Zanth calling.
Zanth: Chief, I got rid of near three thousand and a few hundred is headed towards the land of light.
Murix: As expected, there is a body of water in between the land of fire and the land of light so they will mostly head towards the direction of the land of darkness especially after the tsunami as they will fear to loose some of their own if they near it.
Zanth: As expected of chief.
Murix: You did well Zanth, Folia and I will handle the ones left.
Zanth: Then if you will excuse me…
As we finish our conversation we then look over the two maidens as they both stood side by side in the middle of the wasteland.
Scalia: Lexa, your eye patch is very unfitting for a maiden…
Lexa: That’s funny coming from someone wearing such monstrous gauntlets…
Scalia then chuckled as she then threw a small crescent shaped artifact towards Lexa as she then catches it.
Scalia: Put that piece on the side of your blue eye so that it can let you control its sensitivity while not needing to cover it up as it would be a shame to cover up such beautiful eye.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Lexa then shook as she looks at the artifact given to her, Scalia then gently smiles as she then have an appreciative expression as she removes the eye patch and putting on the crimson artifact.
Scalia: Now that’s better.
As they then see that the fire titans are getting closer to their position, Lexa draws out her mana weapon in which Murix uses God’s eyes in her interest.
Dark Saber, Artraque Type:Sword, Mana WeaponDurability:?? / ??Quality:SA sword engulfed in dark element mana for many years and has changed formed throughout time. In the ownership of the main maiden of the Goddess of Mischief and Chaos, it has formed to emanate chaos as well as the power of the void. A mana weapon taken from Nebulus’ unused artifacts that is first regulated by the council in the pantheon before given to Lexa in which was rumored to be created by Nebulus at some point and was forgotten. Folia then ask Nebulus for his permission and were allowed to do so. It is also a proof of Folia’s care for her first creation, Lexa.
Abilities:
3 Weapon Forms
Form Up
Void Enhancement
Chaos Warp
Random Fire Titan: I feel… a great… power from ahead…
As they see two small figures in front of them even after sensing their power, they have yet to stop, making both Scalia and Lexa to frown. Scalia then punches the ground as a large hole bigger then the width of a fire titan made the lead fire titan to stop. Seeing that the two are hostile towards them, they then started to attack.
The fire titans then released a wave of intense heat as countless beams of flames burst out of their mouths heading towards Scalia and Lexa. Lexa then disappears and used Chaos Warp, one of the skills of her saber as she disappears and appears above them. Chaos Warp is a skill that lets you warp into a random area at a certain distance, the limit of the distance can be set by the user before using it while not knowing the direction being sent towards. Of course such an unpredictable skill still has its own merits. It doesn’t use any mana at all or exhaust the user and the area that she will warp to will become an area of chaos for a few seconds making it quite fitting as a chaotic skill.
The fire titans seeing that Lexa was above them immediately fired another set of lasers towards Lexa as Folia snickered. The beams then hit an invisible area of chaos and what was peculiar was the beams of fire started to visibly change in appearance making it a clear bluish of colr unlike that of its previous crimson color… it became beams of water… while Lexa opens up a void portal in front of her sucking in the beams as a large portion of mana was used up even if her aptitude of the void in her was rather high and the mana usage have lessen, the amount needed depends on the power of the beams they have released which was very high. One beam was enough to destroy a village without leaving a speck behind. The amount she absorbed was nearly a hundred! Making it even exhausting for her as she then opens up another portal and returns it back towards them.
More than two hundred were killed because of the added water element of the beams as the titans became even angrier. As for Scalia, the beams sent towards her, engulfed her in a sea of flames as she then smiled. Her race was that of a dragon making it hard for energy type elemental attack to damage her as the titans became terrified at the two in front of them, especially once Scalia have acted. She used her gravity field to let her fly towards them as she then pulls back her fist as energy ripples emanated from her arm.
She then used Distortion Burst as the space around more than a hundred of titans, bends and distorts destroying those within it. Seeing that the two of them were unharmed by the array of massive attacks and the fact that that they annihilated a large number of them, they then decided to retreat. Seeing that they are golem type of beings they are very slow. Lexa then used her void to transport herself in front of them while Scalia used gravity field and caught up from them from behind. Nearly a little less than four hundred were killed and a their numbers were above a thousand but even with this fact the fire titans couldn’t help but become anxious seeing that the two were far too superior than them.
Lead Fire Titan: Why are you here to eliminate us, we are just on a journey to find a new home…
Lexa: Can’t you see the havoc you are causing in our lands? Also, there are no such volcanoes in the land of darkness as most of it only exist in the land of fire, for you all to search other lands means that the numerous volcanoes in the land of fire has been occupied, am I right?
Hearing this, the fire titans’ expressions became dark as they then couldn’t help but believe in a shred of hope that there are other volcanoes in other lands.
Lead Fire Titan: I will not believe you as volcanoes are a common domain and I believe that there is one out there.
Scalia: Hahh… as expected of a race that has a very low connection to the Gods and are always hibernating… also adding the fact that your race have yet to venture outside the lands of fire, you believe that the other lands are like that of the land of fire.
Lead Fire Titan: Be quiet! Even if you two are powerful, I shall not acknowledge that your strength is limitless!
Lexa then heightens the sensitivity in her eyes and saw that the fire titans are that of only S rank even with their great power, some of them are even A ranks…
Fire TitanRace:Collosal Fire Elemental, Magical BeastGender-Level:173Element:FireExistence:S-B
The Lead Titan then initiated an attack towards Lexa as she then sighed as there seems to be no hope in talking to the Fire Titans, well the initial job was to control their population… even if it is such a gruesome job, it is for the balance of the world nonetheless so it was inevitable. If the fire titans will continue to roam the world, it will only make the world a realm of cinders leaving no life except those who can withstand the pure flames they leave behind. What also makes the fire titans formidable is that their flames can only be put out by special circumstances as the flames are connected to their very lives, as long as the fire titans live, the trail of fire they left behind will forever burn and spread until making the world into a sea of flames. That is the main reason why they are configured by Lonlei to never leave the land of fire which is the best place to hold back their flames.
Lexa then used Form Up as she couldn’t afford to prolong the fight, even right now, their flames are spreading and they have to kill them as quickly as possible or many lives will be taken. Her saber then started to emanate a dark aura as it seems to chance into another form with an even more intense dark mana swirling inside it… it has change to its higher form, a peculiar box of complex machinations and runes and attaches it to her leg. The lead fire titan then unleashes a burst of fire in all directions like an expanding barrier to corner her to no avail as she summons a void portal and appears farther than its reach as she then puts her right hand on the small box as the gears started to move creating threads of darkness forming needles made of dark element mana.
She opens up hundreds of minuscule void portals around her and swung her right arm with the thread of darkness connected. Hundreds of needles came flying towards each portal and appeared around the fire titans like a storm of darkness. Each needle of darkness that entered the fire titans contained both chaos and void element forcing the fire titan’s energy being devoured by the void element and wreaking havoc in their insides by the chaos factor in the needles destroying them without letting them have the strength to retaliate. In just a moment a few hundred of fire titans were eliminated.
Scalia then looks at Folia with awe at her attack but that doesn’t mean that she falls behind in power. In fact, comparing their offense, hers is much greater, it was because of Lexa’s wide scale attacks and instant movement that she has quite the advantage when confronting against many enemies. If Scalia and Lexa were to battle, Lexa will have quite a hard time to win.
Scalia: If my attack range is too little then I will just bring all remaining enemies into my reach.
Scalia then activated gravity field and sucks in the remaining fire titans towards her as she opens her palms as a ripple of power once again emanated from her, only this time the strength is far greater as the land under her feet started to crumble to dust. Her gentle eyes had a mad glint in it despite not changing her expression and punch the air in front of her as the area started to implode with great force to the point that tears in the space around them started to appear.
Lexa: Scary… such a powerful force… I can even feel the force of the implosion from afar…
Scalia: Only a little more than five hundred are left, please all of you shatter for me.
Lead Fire Titan: Gguaaahhhh!!!! S-such… pow…
Scalia said with a gentle smile as the area exploded with great intensity destroying a large area in the wasteland. Before the lead titan finished his sentence, his body shattered like the others leaving no trace behind, the flames they left started to subside as Lexa then sighs in relief. Scalia then approach Lexa and said…
Scalia: I guess our work here is done.
Lexa: I guess…
Lexa said with a wry smile while looking at Murix and Folia whom had a satisfied expression. Scalia then had a lonely expression hidden within her smile, of course Murx had noticed this since she has been with her ever since she was first created. Murix then chuckled and said.
Murix: Scalia you must be tired, you can return but first why don’t you rest a bit with Lexa. We will head back three days later as we will first restore the damage they had done.
Scalia expression then became joyful as she immediately nodded as they head back to the castle of void. Unlike the other maidens, as Murix’ one and only maiden, she has to continually overlook the world while traveling from place to place. At first she didn’t mind being alone, but after experiencing the first meeting of the maidens, she had gained many friends and one of them was Lexa. One can say that Minael was her best friend but disappeared one day and was distraught. Lexa was the one who comforted her as she notice that she was down despite not showing it. They then quickly became friends and whenever she was in the land of void she would welcome her warmly.
Folia: Oho? Quite doting on little Scalia aren’t you?
Murix then looks at her as cold sweat formed on her back thinking it might be unwise to tease Murix even a little bit.
Murix: Maybe so… (This little child of mine, she really has changed throughout the passage of time, I am sorry for giving you the burden of being the maiden of law as our clan is still small it is regarded as a low level clan and as the one governing the whole world I am only permitted to select only one maiden. One day if our clan becomes bigger I will ask Lord Nebulus if we can participate the ranking up trial. He might not be up to it but I will make sure you won’t ever make that lonely expression again.)
Murix said with a warm look as Folia lets out a breath of relief.
Folia: Well if all is done, I should be go… ing…
Murix: And where do you think your going?
Murix said with a deep voice which made Folia tremble as all colors were drained out of her complexion as she slowly looks at Murix and saw her frighteningly strict expression. Murix then casts Law Shackles which are used by the Gods of Law to arrest other Gods which has a binding power that even God Kings were wary of. Folia was then trying to look pitiful while thinking that this was way too cruel. To Murix it wasn’t as if she didn’t go this far, Folia will use her chaos magic and many other things to escape. Using law magic against a chaos magic user is quite effective and will overwhelm chaos magic as for chaos magic, it is quite effective against many other magic like elemental magic and more.
Folia: Murix I-I…
Murix: Don’t keep avoiding your work; now let us restore the lands.
Folia: B-but…
Folia was then dragged off as Scalia stayed with Lexa at the castle of void. After restoring the lands Scalia was then lead of by Murix as Lexa waved goodbye and on the mirror beside her was Folia who seemed lifeless after expending a huge amountof mana continuously.
Lexa: Lord Folia are you alright?
Folia: Y-yeah… just let me rest for a bit…
As time passed at that time Folia and Lexa were aware of the war but decided to stay out of it since it was a hassle. Who knew that in the war… it would lead to… it seems like I was too late… At first as the war became more rampant I decided to see the state of the war and to my surprise… I saw Lord Nebulus fighting with the beings of divinity… isn’t this overkill? As the war became very messy with Folia and Genbalt suddenly appeared and the situation became even more out of hand when a bunch of Gods appeared… where they came from!? As I felt the fluctuation of power I immediately used one of the artifacts I had with me since I was a child, the Pendant of Containment which can trap off even God Kings just in case I was in danger as it seems my father and the “Black Circle” Had quite the dispute. I can only use this artifact once a year but I can’t just leave this situation be…
The barrier then spreads all over the land as Murix was the only one from the outside who can tell what was going on inside the barrier. Murix was still confused how on Alxia did Lord Nebulus materialize in this world but it seems their way was quite different than those other Gods. She also noticed that Genbalt was like the other Gods. And when Genbalt was killed a golden glow emanated from her eyes as her body trembled… at that time she was extremely furious just like Folia and once again the situation became even more complicated when another Nebulus appeared. After the matter she was still restless and noticed the outbreaks of tainted souls, it is a sign that a God governing his land was killed and all of his links became prone to being contaminated. As she tries to contain the outbreak she noticed it was becoming more and more serious each passing day and finally she had enough…while trying to contain the outbreaks she then decided to do another thing…
Murix: I need to find a way and resolve the tainted soul outbreak and also to investigate how that many Gods invaded Alxia… as for Lord Nebulus…
Murix said with determination as she and Scalia continued to linger in the land of earth to suppress the miasma and purifying tainted souls while with the help of some others, investigate the situation.
***********************************************************************
An extra long chapter for my long absence XD.
Note: Most of the maidens have levels of more than a thousand like Minael, Nebulus’ main maiden whom he neglected at the start of the creation. I corrected as I saw while re-reading the chapter that there is a missing 1 in it so I fixed it.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! :-)
