His consciousness woke up in one of the growth vats.

He tapped the button on the inside of the vat.

It opened up and the nutrient solution dumped out.

Zero could feel access to his nanites once again.

He could also feel an endless vitality.

This body had been genetically engineered to cultivate his power system naturally.

It's starting point was Immortal Body.

It's soul and spirit were also fully cultivated.

The only thing each of these bodies lacked was a consciousness.

They had soul... but no consciousness.

So the wave that escaped from his soul that contained his consciousness traveled to one of them in a vat and imprinted his consciousness on the new soul.

So not only was the body replaced.

But the soul was replaced too!

Zero was even studying how to have the DNA shape the soul itself.

What Zero wanted to do was recreate his rank 8 soul.

If he was able to do that from scratch.

He could have multiple copies of Laws.

Zero felt like this was his path forward.

He just needed to understand the basic principles behind consciousness.

More centuries went by.

He didn't have to worry about growing old.

His new body was similar to his original body.

It was even better in most aspects.

He was busy perfecting the soul.

Trying to make not a copy of his body.

That was easy.

He was trying to copy his soul.

Eventually he successfully created comprehension of an aspect of one of his laws.

"Nature!"

He had actually broken down a major law called Nature into seven smaller laws.

Each minor law was a different soul in a different vat.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

The seven souls were as follows:

Soul

Water

Fire

Lightning

Wind

Metal

Earth

These souls had each comprehended 100% of their law!

At this point Zero began to experiment making each soul hold more then a single law.

After a few hundred years he had succeeded in making a soul that contained all seven laws.

It was extremely powerful.

As powerful as his main soul!

But that wasn't what was impressive.

He was impressed that he was able to do it at a large scale.

There were a hundred of such souls with all seven laws comprehended.

It's a good thing they lacked consciousness.

Otherwise he may of had a mess to deal with.

Zero wasn't fully satisfied with the strength they possessed.

If his soul was captured by an enemy.

He would be giving them seven laws of 100% comprehension for free.

Isn't that exactly what Owtz did?

So Zero moved up the importance of such an experiment.

He had all a hundred of the souls enter Dimension Zero.

Then have them connect to their bodies.

Now even if these bodies were captured or died.

It wouldn't be his problem.

He then began to deconstruct Chaos like he did with Nature.

It broke into five smaller laws:

Dependence.

Transitivity.

Origin.

Random.

Valency.

He had all hundred souls have 13 fully comprehended laws.

He then discarded the bodies.

Fusing all of the souls together.

It was during this fusion that he comprehended another law.

[ECHO]: 'Creation' Comprehension has reached 100%

This law served as the catalyst for all the souls.

He had succeeded.

Now what was next was fusing this monster of a soul with his original soul.

During this process he fully comprehended a few other laws.

[ECHO]: 'Destruction' Comprehension has reached 100%

[ECHO]: 'Infinity' Comprehension has reached 100%

[ECHO]: 'Space' Comprehension has reached 100%

[ECHO]: 'Gravity' Comprehension has reached 100%

[ECHO]: 'Time' Comprehension has reached 100%

The dimension he stored his soul in actually collapsed from such power.

He instantly recreated it.

And fortified it.

He had done it.

He had broken through to rank 9!

It took way less time then he thought it would.

He had also designed a fake law.

The Law was called 'Eternal'.

All of the souls he would create in the future would have this Law.

If trapped and killed.

He would 'drop' this Eternal Law with the soul.

His enemy would think this was his law.

They would then absorb it like he absorbed Owtz's Nature Law.

But they would be tricked!

This Eternal Law is actually a virus law constructed by Zero.

It will give them some GR and a feeling of power.

But it will also stay dormant until activated by Zero.

Killing them directly or stealing their Laws.

Turning them into a mortal.

Zero could already imagine the look of confusion on his opponents face.

Now he doesn't have to worry about others plundering his Laws.

Let them!

He'll have the final laugh.

His soul has become so big that it is Dimension Zero itself.

He can't move his soul out of the dimension even if he wants to.

Any random body he pinches into existence already has strength surpassing rank 7.

If he spares a drop more of effort.

It far surpasses even rank 8's.

He couldn't imagine fighting others now.

Just what had he become?

He was now on Gaia's level of power.

He could manipulate reality as easy as breathing.

Just where does he go from here?

He had said his goal was rank 10.

It felt so close... yet so far away.

His soul couldn't even be called a soul anymore.

The body housing his soul had become an almost eldritch horror.

He created a rank 8 body.

With a rank 8 soul.

Powered by his fake Law.

As well as his other laws.

He then gave the body his eyes of an original incarnation.

His left eyes iris was white.

His right eyes iris was green.

He had the eyes of Time and Knowledge.

The way he saw reality was entirely different.

It was like he was seeing time as a 3D mesh.

He could walk through time and space already.

He felt he now had enough self protection ability.

He decided it was finally time to map out the chaos realm completely.

He then began to 'walk'.
