Legendary Architect of Apocalypse

After Helen returned, Elias finally had a moment of peace. He didn't have to worry about another trip from the Professors anymore.

He went straight to the bed, and rested on it. To ensure that he wasn't hurt while he was sleeping, he used his flames, which surrounded the entire tent.

Just like the Merger Storm, the spherical barrier around the tent also made it impossible to see within. Even the Professors couldn't see through the flames.

In the eyes of the Professor, it was just him going to sleep, and using the flame barrier to protect himself from any unexpected attack while he was in a vulnerable state during his sleep.

"The child is very cautious. It's a good trait. It means he will live longer." Helen nodded with satisfaction.

Not only was 'Kaelen' not greedy for rewards, but he was also extremely cautious, even when he was sleeping. Now that he didn't have to hide his abilities anymore, it was as if a burden was removed from his shoulders.

"Who knows. Sometimes, it's the cautious ones that die the fastest in reality." Elten broke his silence.

"Hmph, Kaelen is different." Helen scoffed. "He isn't just cautious, but he also had the abilities to support himself. Even if his class might not be the best, but with the help of these flames, his achievements would definitely be beyond us!"

"You talk as if you have seen the future. Wasn't the same thing said about my Elder Brother? What happened in the end?" Elten raised a brow. "A genius is only a genius while they are alive. After they die, then nothing is left behind, except a few stories about their greatness.

He couldn't help but remember his brothers who shone even brighter than the Inheritor of the Mystical Flames could ever shine in the Academy.

He had seen even the greatest geniuses in this universe fall right before his eyes. He could kill a so-called genius like 'Kaelen' with just a single wave of his hand.

Just like him, there were millions of people in this universe who could completely erase the Inheritor of these flames before he was allowed to completely bloom.

In his eyes, there was no point in talking about a person's future greatness. If they were a threat, then they could be removed before they grew up. And if they were not a threat, then they were just materials for his necromancy.

"Why do you always have to be a downer? Does it come complementary with being a Necromancer?" Helen smirked. "Or is it because you're jealous that the Inheritor isn't from the Destroyer Faction?"

Elten stretched out his arms and yawned. "You can think whatever you want. I don't have time to argue with you. Just wake me up when this test is over, or if my brother comes out of the storm."

On the ground, Elias had gone down the bed, and he started digging the ground, under the shroud of the barrier. He once again went underground, and travelled towards the Merger Storm, whose distance was perfectly calculated by him.

He came out of the ground, only after entering the Merger Storm which didn't resist his entry. He soon came out of the group, right next to the storm wall.

Before the storm, he could see the timer that was still showing that half a day was left before the merger was completed.

Within the storm, Lycorice's body was shining brightly. He couldn't even see her properly, as she looked like she was made purely of the chaotic essence with no other features.

Her body was greedily absorbing the essence of death and chaos from this world, that had overwhelmed this world after every life form was killed here.

It was enough to turn Lycorice from an incomplete fable to a complete fable. But something even better had happened.

The humans weren't the only beings that had died here. He had personally wiped many students from the Destroyer Class, right next to the merger storm. Even the Soul Beasts were killed, and their essence was also greedily sucked in by the merger storm.

He didn't even have to use his own stockpile of essence crystals to merge with her. She received the essence from even better materials, which were the constellations.

The souls of the constellations were burned by the Ice Phoenix Flames, which was their weakness. But a trace of their essence, and their hostility was still left behind, even in their death.

It became a nourishment for Lycorice's growth, something that even Elias hadn't expected.

He could feel that she was growing stronger than he had expected. Even if she was born in the lower world, her aura had already reached the high ranking Soul Beast, and the merger hadn't even completed yet.

At this point, Elias even felt as if it was a little wasteful. If he had killed even the students of the Creator Class, Lycorice could have absorbed even more essence and hostility from superior beings. It didn't help her even more.

It truly felt like a waste to not kill them, just to maintain a good reputation for his new identity in the Creator Faction.

"It's still not too late. There is a little over ten hours left. It should be enough to kill them." He rubbed his chin, and thought about it seriously.

Kaelen couldn't kill the students of the Creator Faction, but Elias had no such restriction. He was free to kill them, to make his Soul Beast reach the realm of a Constellation of earth.

"I can't use the flames with this identity. I also can't use the class abilities, or they would know that the bracelet is ineffective for me. It would raise more problems for me."

He had a rough aim, but there were also many problems with it.

"I can't reveal the abilities that I had gained beyond my class abilities. I also can't use Lycorice to control the artefacts to kill them either. If I want to kill them, I will have to do it myself. Should I...?"

He took a deep breath, and turned to Astralious who was staring at him.

He raised two fingers towards Astralious, and asked, "Choose a finger."

Astralious looked at him suspiciously, but he still chose a finger. He tapped on Elias's middle finger.

"I accept your decision." Elias nodded.

"Wait, what? Since when was it my decision? I didn't even know which finger had which choice?!" Astralious yelled in disbelief.

Elias stepped out of the merger storm, and a long object materialized in his hand.

"Why does it feel like it didn't matter which finger I chose? Both had the same decision behind them?" Astralious scratched his temple, and rushed after Elias.
