Nameless Death withdrew the Void Elementals and the World Energy.
He focused on the sapling he just created.
It stood at the very center of his Seed of Existence.
The sapling was a black stalk at first glance.
But as he looked more carefully, the color shifted. Black turned transparent. Then it flickered, becoming both. Sometimes it alternated rapidly. Sometimes it held both states together, refusing to choose.
It looked different from any element he had seen.
It was darkness, yet it wasn't.
He probed it with his Intent.
And the sapling responded.
Something in it resonated with him, and he resonated with it.
There was understanding between them.
And that allowed him to understand the ability of the sapling.
"It's done."
He smiled, and without hesitation, crushed the other trillions of saplings within his Seed of Existence.
The chaos occuring within his Seed of Existence was gone.
Above the Site, the Universal Will observed him in silence.
It had watched everything unfold.
From the moment Nameless Death began creating the malformed saplings, to the exact second he let go of the void.
It had expected – hoped – he would fail, but alas, Heavenbreakers were bastards through and through.
Like, what the hell had this Nameless Death bastard created?
The thing growing inside Nameless Death's Seed of Existence couldn't be classified.
It didn't follow the patterns of elemental evolution, nor was it an new element born out of a Divinity.
And that made no sense.
To create a new element, one needed to create a Divinity.
Actual, complete Divinity.
From there, the Divinity God would forge a Concept with the Divinity, then mold it into a Elemental Seed. That process took easily over a hundred billion years.
That was how Divinity Gods progressed and created new Element.
What about Elemental Gods?
Modyfing the Elemental Seed and evolving the existing element yourself was an impossible task.
In the history, no one had completed the task by themselves due to how dangerous it was.
Talent didn't matter.
How blessed you were didn't matter.
It was simply impossible to do so alone.
The Elemental Gods took help of Supremes to achieve the element's evolution.
They would be given Trials by Supremes, and upon completing the Trial, the Supreme Gods would help them modify their Elemental Seed according to their Concept.
Repeating this several times was how Stage-4 Gods ranked up to Stage-6.
From there, they would merge with the Element itself and become a Universal Law to reach Stage-7.
Nameless Death hadn't done any of that.
He didn't forge Divinity. He didn't request a trial to modify the Elemental Seed.
The bastard took a new, third path.
Univeral Will didn't know if it should ask why the Supreme of Shadows had given his Sacred Treasure to such a batshit crazy person, or if it should pull its hair out in frustration.
The Universal Will narrowed its attention, analyzing the sapling.
It was alive, fully stable, and showed no signs of collapse.
It's existence broke no Universal Law.
This…
This was similar to what that Ultris bastard had done in the past.
He created Traits, an ability that allowed people to rank up, without ascending to Godhood.
But since he had created Triat while he was in another universe, it wasn't counted as breaking a Universal Law, well not of his own universe at least.
He did face opposition from the other Universe's Will, but it was a weaker Universe, and Ultris simply subdued it with overwhelming force.
Then, he came back to his home universe, and decided it was time to start a family.
A big ass family.
At least the Ultris bastard had enough decency to go to another universe and not fuck up the Universal Laws in his home universe.
But this Nameless Death bastard?
He did it here!
Right when Universal Will was looking at him!
It was like the concept of shame didn't exist for him!
The worse part?
This motherfucker wasn't even a God!
The Universal Will felt the weight of what had just happened.
It didn't even know if it should call what Nameless Death created a new Element, or an evolution of Darkness?
The Universal Will didn't like it.
But it couldn't do anything.
The problem was that the method to create a new element wasn't mentioned in any Universal Law.
There were only two ways because they were the only paths ahead.
No one bypassed them.
No one was capable of it.
No one except this bastard.
The Universe Will scanned everything again, desperately searching for even a single violation, a single excuse, to punish this badtard.
Unfortunately, Nameless Death hadn't done anything wrong.
He had simply walked on a path that was not blocked or discovered by others.
None of the labels applied to his achievement. None of the known paths explained what he had done. And that irritated the Universal Will.
