The Walker Of Voids

Walking down the cave tunnels, Null took everything he saw on his path, from the steel bars to the enchanted weapons and artifacts in the rooms.

Before long, he had robbed the entire cave system of all its valuables, and he could already feel Lloyd fighting back for control, slowly taking it back as the moments passed.

*Rumble*

"Hm?" Null closed his eyes and activated [Void Gaze], yet instead of using it as a way to intimidate his opponents, he instead looked into the ground...

Specifically, he was looking at something that lay under the mountain.

Null was essentially using [Void Gaze] the same way Lloyd used mana eyes, but Null's way of using [Void Gaze] was superior to Lloyd's mana eyes in every way possible.

Instead of channeling mana into his eyes to activate mana eyes, he was channeling void mana. This would have usually destroyed his eyes permanently, the same way [Void Channel[ destroyed the body, and [Aspect of Void] destroyed anything it enchanted.

However, by using it under the guise of [Void Gaze], Null could freely channel void mana into his eyes without them being destroyed.

At the same time, his eyes had a variety of uses now. Not only could he see spatial fluctuations, mana fluctuation, life forces, and even the mana channels of anyone he looked at, but there was also the ability to use [Void Gaze] as the intimidation factor that it has always been...

However, now that his eyes had mana coursing through them, it was natural for the main ability of [Void Gaze] to reach new heights.

"How interesting." Null thought before something else caught his eyes.

A figure in the mountain, chained up and attached to several tubes and wires.

Her life force was weak and was even flickering, while her mana core was being constantly emptied of its mana.

[Void Step]

Teleporting into the room, Null found himself in a large ravine. However, he did not pay any attention to it and instead looked at the girl who remained in the same position as before.

She seemed to be unconscious, and that was probably from the fact that she was constantly suffering from mana exhaustion, as well as blood loss.

Blood could be seen coming out of her wounds, dripping onto the ground, and illuminating the magic circle that could be seen on the ground.

Walking forward, Null took a journal into his hands.

---

Day 1: My soldiers have captured several bald apes. I wonder what they are? I plan on doing several experiments on them before I kill them, but their power differs from ours and the ancient one. The ancient one is made up of his divine crystal, but we are made up of the magic stones he had placed within us... These apes, however... They are different.

They have some kind of core in their solar plexus. It works a little like our magic crystals, but it is so much more!.

Day 9: These cores are so complicated. Not a single one of them is the same as the other. They are all different in their own ways, and they are all attune to a certain element.

Day 12: These apes call themselves hoomans? I don't know what that means, but they are amazing creatures that I must learn more about. They can control the mana in their body and don't consume one another to get stronger. Each and every single one of them has its own way of taking mana into its cores and releasing it in a different form.

Day 30: These humans... They are something else. However, they are also limited. The ancient one, our lord, has told us of their weaknesses. They cannot have strong bodies and strong long rage attacks. They must choose between becoming mages or warriors, arches, and witches... Maybe we can use this to our advantage? They haven't found us yet, but we will be ready for them when they do.

Day 90: These humans have abilities just like us, and for the last 60 days, I've been trying to take their abilities out of their bodies and put them into ours. Since they don't have magic crystals inside them, such a thing is possible, however...

What terrifies me is that every single one of them has one or more abilities. Their wide range of abilities makes them hard to fight against... It makes them unpredictable. However, the lord said that he would awaken soon. He just needs blood from someone who has an affinity toward a law of the universe.

Day 500: I've successfully done it! I transferred my power into one of my own, and they have become so powerful. They have two magic crystals inside their bodies now, and even though I thought something bad would come out of such a large change in the anatomy, I was proven wrong...

Day 10483: I have created an army far beyond my wildest dreams, but those humans... No... It was one human... He slaughtered us all and left my people starving and dying in this cold forest... He even took my magic crystal... He made me weak again! But the ancient one has an army of his own... When he comes out and recovers his power, we will slaughter those humans the same way they slaughtered us!

Day 54932: The ancient one has told us about two beings that are coming... One of them has the blood of one of the laws of the universe, and the other is something called a void walker? He said that with the woman's blood, he could awaken once more, and with the head of the void walker, he could regain his power...

Null looked over at the girl... The girl, of course, was Fatima Khan, one of Lloyd's close companions but not a friend.

Null teleported in front of her and ripped out all the wires that were attached to her body.

Once he did that, he placed his hand on her chest and began to control the mana inside her body; however, instead of corrupting it like how he had done before, he instead simply controlled its flow since there wasn't much of a resistance in the first place.

Controlling the flow of her mana, Null snapped his fingers and made the mana close her wounds.

The mana inside her body created threads that instantly closed all her wounds, as if they were being threaded together. The thread would remain like that for a few hours, but he only needed it for a few minutes.

Using his own energy to create those threads might have given her void poisoning, so Null took the easy way out.

However, as he looked at her sleeping face, he could not help but frown, showing an emotion for the first time since the autumn dungeon.

"You really do look like unity... Your skin is just a little darker, and your sclera isn't black." Null sighed and took out a potion with a red liquid inside it.

He quickly poured it down her throat, and before he knew it, all the wounds properly healed, and blood returned to her body, making her no longer look pale despite her darker skin tone.

*Rumble*

'Hmm?' Null looked down again, yet what he saw wasn't a dormant monster... No, it was an enormous monster that was looking right back into Null's eyes.

However, despite the monster seeming to have used some kind of ability on his through eye contact, in the end, it was not Null who shuddered, but it was the monster itself.

Feeling fear seep into its body, the monster gritted its teeth and reached out for Null.

Null glanced at the magic circle and saw it seep into the ground, but he had always known he couldn't have stopped it despite knowing of its existence and long before having reached the cavern.

[Monarch's Aura + Mana sense + Void Gaze + 4-Dimensional Thought + Void Step]

Expanding his aura out, Null teleported away from the cavern and appeared several miles away with Fatima now in his arms, still healing, so she was still asleep.

*BOOOOM*

The mountain that had once reached the clouds in the sky shattered, before an enormous hand shot out of it, and thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of tiny creatures, shot out of the crack in the ear, flying into the sky and siphoning the mana of the entire planet.

"Oh unity! How long I've waited to come out of this prison you've sealed me in!" The monster's voice boomed across the entire planet, entering the ears of everyone, and catching the attention of the main military base.

The words it spoke weren't anything the military could understand, but Null understood every word of it...

"You took my power, and you took my planet. I used to be a creature that even dragons used to fear, yet you made me so weak..." The monster laughed before pointing at Null and Fatima.

"Which is why I'm so glad to see that you've also suffered the same fate! Today, I swear to you upon my name, the ancient Cthulhu, that I will consume that vessel of yours and the void walker right next to you... And when I do that, I shall return what was rightfully mine!"

"TODAY, I SHALL MAKE YOU FEEL TRUE FEAR!" Cthulhu laughed, yet Null could see something else...

He was also one of the monsters that was siphoning the planet's energy, and the reason for that was simple.

When Unity had locked him inside the planet, she had also locked his power away too. It explained why he needed the blood of someone with an affinity to one of the laws of the universe to break out of his chains, but now he got something much better... He got the vessel of the person who locked him inside his cage of a planet, and because of that, he was able to break out a lot faster than he would have if it was anyone else.

The laws of the universe were myths and legends. Every race knew them to a certain extent, but no one feared them as much as the ancient creatures, Cthulhu included. What was an 8th commandment entity in front of a creature that was the literal incarnate of a universal law, capable of shifting and manipulating the fabric of the universe to their will?

Null looked at him with a mocking expression.

The creature before him was recovering, and at that moment, it had just broken through the first commandment and was slowly reaching toward the 2nd. Its body and core were essentially that of a 8th commandment, but he didn't need to reach that level again to destroy humanity.

Reaching the 6th commandment would probably suffice since the king is only a half-step 7th commandment.

"Fear?" Null asked, his voice booming throughout the entire icy tundra. His voice was monotone, yet Cthulhu felt like he was being mocked.

"Tell me, why would I fear..." Null's eyes flared purple while his black sclera deepened in color.

"A lesser being like you?"
