Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Heart Of Chaos
Buzz... Buzzz...
RUMBLE.
The moment Dimitri drew his last breath, the entire land of Dwarvania trembled violently, as if an ancient force had been unleashed. The space seal that had isolated Dwarvania from the rest of the world for so long was lifted, causing a monumental shift.
With a thunderous rumble, the earth quaked, and the vast lands of Dwarvania began merging with the world of Mythraldor. Tens of thousands of kilometers of land expanded and reconnected with the surrounding terrain, like pieces of a colossal puzzle coming together.
Outside the capital city, the waiting spectators—relatives of the participants—stood in stunned silence, watching in awe as the massive landmass emerged before their very eyes.
"Oh heavens!" an elderly man gasped, his eyes wide with shock.
Groups of middle-aged and older people gathered together, murmuring in disbelief.
"Are my eyes deceiving me?" another exclaimed, his voice trembling.
"Is that... Dwarvania? The same Dwarvania we learned about in legends?" an elderly woman asked, squinting to get a clearer view.
"I think so," a man replied, his voice shaky. "Look! Our children are also there! Something big must've happened!"
Panic and concern spread among the crowd as the realization dawned on them.
"Call General Leon, General Felix! Hurry!" one of them screamed, his voice filled with urgency.

When the outside world was in chaos, Aengus was in dense jungle shrouded in darkness.
In the dense, shadowy jungle, Aengus stood silently, the eerie atmosphere amplified by the darkness that surrounded him.
He was back in his Half-Demon form.
He looked down at the lifeless bodies of Sigard and Dimitri, calculating his next move. The enemies outside were powerful, and while he had won this battle, he knew there were greater threats looming on the horizon.
He needed more power.
Aengus resolved to take the extreme step—he would synthesize with both Sigard and Dimitri, absorbing their strength and abilities into his own. It was a painful and dangerous process, but he had no other choice if he wanted to ensure not only his own survival but also the safety of Aria and Bella, whom he had already considered as his.
Gritting his teeth, Aengus initiated the synthesis. The moment he began, his body screamed in agony as cells from both bodies started to merge with his own. Every fiber of his being burned with searing pain, but he forced himself to endure it. His veins pulsed violently, and his skin rippled with the strange energies coursing through him.
His mind was flooded with memories that weren't his—the fierce arrogance, pride of Sigard and the cold ruthlessness, longing of Emperor Dimitri.
Their essence tried to overwhelm him, but Aengus fought back, maintaining control.
Sweat poured down his face, and his muscles tensed as he felt his own strength rising.
Finally, what felt like an eternity passed, and the process was complete.
[ You have merged with a Seeker's body ]
[ You have gained two law cores: Space, Water (Mastery: Primary 0.01%) Not usable: Requires Origin Energy to activate ]
[ You have gained the Fire Dragon Bloodline ]
[ You have acquired a new active skill: Fire Dragon Transformation (C) ]
[ Your stats have increased significantly. Strength +350, Agility +350, Defense +350, Mana +12,000 ]
Aengus looked satisfied with the overall result. With this, defeating an A+ rank shouldn't be impossible if he gave it his all. However, against an S-rank, it would be a struggle.
He considered synthesizing the skills to A-rank too, but the matter of Laws and Origin Energy troubled him.
"Manas, do you know what Origin Energy is?" he asked, confused.
Manas replied, "I'm sorry, Master. I don't have information on it either. However, I believe it might be the source energy from the Primal Realm where the 'old' man came from. Perhaps you should consider merging Mana Reserves with Nether Energy to see if it works. But this could be risky," she warned.
"I see... Let's do it," Aengus decided without hesitation.
The prospect of gaining incredible control over fundamental laws like Space and Water, similar to Emperor Dimitri, tempted him enough to take the risk.
Aengus quickly focused, mobilizing the Synthesis energy to merge his Mana Reserve, Nether Energy Core, and Energy Converter together.
The delicate process of combining these opposing energy sources began, his body shaking with intensity as if every core and fiber of his being were undergoing transformation. This process affected the flow of energy that facilitated his skills and demonic abilities.
Once completed, this fusion would allow him to merge both skills and demonic abilities, potentially making them more unique and powerful.
After the delicate and tedious process, the opposing energies and their storage systems merged, creating a vibrant, special energy in the shape of a tree sprout. Its roots engraved themselves into his body, maintaining the energy distribution.
[Congratulations! You have discovered Origin Mana; the source energy of the universe.]
[Origin Mana Conversion Complete.]
[Origin Mana: 14,200 (10:1)]
Aengus observed the vibrant small tree sprout and smiled in satisfaction. The energy was ten times more potent than world Mana and Nether energy.
"One day, you will be endless, just like the universe itself," Aengus thought, making a promise to himself.
"Now for the next step, I need to merge this two hearts and finally the skills and demonic abilities. I can't take any cance of defeat, I will fulfil my goal and kill anyone who stands in our way."
Sitting quietly he started Synthesizing the oposite hearts that bugged him for far too long. He wanted to think for himself, not being forced by some skills. He would pave his own path and act as he wishes. No one can force him, not even his past or future self.
He was stubborn, he wanted power, he wanted revenge, he wanted love that denied him for too long. He wishes to have a safe place and family to return to. And he would build it by himself, not relying on luck or fate.
With firm convictions he ignored the hearts' protests and continued.
[ Heart of Light + Heart of Darkness had evolved to Heart Of Chaos (S) ]
