Chapter 331: Memories of the Past

Mila

Mila felt her heart start to race, but her husband had a point. She was avoiding taking the hard first steps to forming a truly strong oath, and it wasn’t healthy.

“I don’t think I can forgive him.”

Aalam continued to hug her. “You don’t have to. That’s your choice.”

Mila thought about all the help the United Federation of Planets had received from her grandfather over the last ten thousand years, how much effort he’d put in to help make h...

Chapter 330: Absent Autocrat and Unenthusiastic Executive

Aalam

The God of War was utterly terrifying.

Even with a ten second head start and having everything planned out so the god would chase him but not be able to catch up, his clone had still been caught.

The man’s reaction time, the way he used his six True Law level Laws to stabilize spacetime to boost his own speed and slow Aalam’s, the effortless way he almost instantly sealed the power of Aalam’s clone, it all surpassed what Aalam had expected.

His maste...

Chapter 329: Goodbye, Mother

Bellessia

“Omorius!”

Bellessia felt her connection with the Huntsman disappear as the God of War vanished from his seat, the table floating over the formerly endless battlefield shaking ever so slightly, and her emotions began to tremble.

Her nephew, a god much, much older than her and with powers far more specialized in combat, had died, the first death of a god since the death of the Yin Yang Sage. And the individual presumably responsible was her own son.

Chapter 328: Revenge for the Fallen

Bellessia

“Over half of our subordinate forces appear to have surrendered, the Wind Runner and the Divine Bulwark have disappeared, and we’ve lost over 75% of our A ranks to squabbles with other powers, fighting with the United Federation of Planets’ in other universes, and the curse the United Federation of Planets used to kill the leaders of our subordinate forces.”

The God of War frowned as his youngest daughter, Tiaria, Mistress of Storms, read the report she’...

Chapter 327: Oath of the Acceptant God Touched

Aalam

“My thoughts don’t work like those of most people. I’m overly logical, I easily grow obsessed with topics others would consider odd, and, if I’m not focused on something specific, I automatically process all sensory information I receive instead of just part, causing me to quickly grow fatigued when around too many sources of chaos, like humans and other intelligent lifeforms.” Aalam smiled as all the primal energy he’d absorbed over the last several years, held...

Chapter 326: Manipulation's End

Aalam

“Why do my subordinates say I’m evil?”

From the emotions he was feeling over their bond, Aalam could tell Mila was actually frustrated, so he should probably treat the question like a trap, but he couldn’t help himself but to answer. “You do generally manipulate almost everyone around you.”

Golden eyes glared at him and the dress which had previously disappeared from his wife’s body, leaving her in just her underwear, reappeared, meaning the playti...

Chapter 325: Guidance of Faith

Uvandra

“The Courtesan, The Tactician, The Guardian, The Messenger.” A young man floated down from the room’s large domed ceiling, having somehow appeared without Uvandra able to notice, six fluffy silver fox tails behind him, two fox ears poking out of his long silvery hair, and an extra eye in the center of his forehead. “The Ruler, The Smith, The Actor, The Merchant.” The fox man smiled as he landed. “The Healer, The Reaper, The Watcher, and The Prophet.

Chapter 324: Fun with Curses

Diana

Don’t you just love curses?” Nana Xara’s voice sounded excited as Diana watched Mila and Aalam activate Aalam’s first true God rank artifact creation, a forty meter tall three-sided stepped pyramid made of a black marble-like substance formed by mixing A rank cursed stone essence with the crushed up bones of two of the gods they’d killed, King Selrah and Ralphon Tari, representing the element of lightning along with the divine role of rulership and the...

Chapter 323: The Wind Runner

Carlos

Carlos Gutierre, the Divine Bulwark, watched as five of his subordinate A ranks entered through the portal the Master of the Eternal Forge had just strengthened to God rank, and then he felt his bonds to them break as they were all instantly killed. The energy of a curse emanated out from the portal, and he watched in horror as the souls of two more of his subordinates, one the great-grandchild of one of the A ranks and the other the distant cousin of one of the others, ha...

Chapter 322: It’s a Trap

Gustavius

Gustavius and his twin finished putting their energy into the formation built around the portal on Earth, an expensive Yin Yang Portal Expansion Array built around the much cheaper, at least in materials, Love Turned To Hate, Blood Thicker Than Water Array prefilled with their sister’s energy, and the B rank portal to the Heavenly Soul Universe rapidly expanded to God rank.

The two of them then rushed in and saw the God rank golem which had beaten back the A ran...

Immortalia

“Can we stop now?”

Immortalia, floating in the air of the B rank planet in her human form—long red and black hair, golden eyes, and the skin tone and figure she’d copied from studying Mila making her correctly look like a goddess—glanced down at Silvia Davies, the physically weakest of the United Federation of Planet’s now 557 B ranks. Then she looked at the other B ranks on the field and the several extreme C rank talents, all of whom were running th...

Chapter 320: First Act of Godslaying

Perival - 103 Years Ago

As he usually did every hundred years or so, Perival was traveling around the universe looking for things to buy in local markets, minding his own business and using the same System controlled public teleportation platforms as everyone else. It was relaxing. And it had been trillions of years since anything had gone wrong.

This time, however, something weird happened. His teleportation from one C rank world to another on the edge of the Prime Materia...

Chapter 319: Divine Negotiations

Carina

“So, to confirm for the final time, you are selling me the Love Turned To Hate, Blood Thicker Than Water Array for the rights to 50% of everything I then in turn sell it for, correct?” Perival had highly reflective bright blue eyes, long black hair neatly combed and braided to keep it out of his handsome pale face, and, as a half-human half-messenger, he had cute gray wings on his back about two thirds the size of her own, but, unlike normal, she wasn’t visiting him ...

Shadow of the Soul King Book Cover 2

Hello, everyone!

I've still been thinking about book covers and I wanted your input on the following few ideas:

2) A shadowy female figure holding two pistols dodging blasts from training robots in the foreground over an image of an open left hand gloved in the Left Hand of the Runescribe dominating t...

Chapter 318: And All The Dead Died

Jabberwoc

Crimson Jabberwoc, Master of Despair and Death and the second strongest A rank of the true Undead Empire, ruler over all undead in the Prime Material, didn’t know how the woman in front of him had found his hidden demiplane, but that was less of an issue than how she was sitting right in front of him, on his own throne, in his own throne room.

Chapter 317: Blood Thicker Than Water

Bellessia

“So, it’s happened, and far earlier than we expected.” Sitting on the highest throne hovering around the stone table floating over humanity’s endless battle with the undead, the seat usually reserved for their father, Bellessia’s eldest living sibling, humanity’s God of War, frowned ever so slightly.

Like most of the rest of the Primordial Sovereign’s offspring, his looks were plain, those not in the know unlikely to pick him out as a god just from h...

Aalam had changed their base race away from the soul lord line to a hybrid of the soul lord line and the elemental line while also giving them a new modifier, semi-divine, from absorbing a small part of the genetic power remaining in the bones of the Radiant Behemoth, and this granted them different inherent racial abilities than t...

Shadow of the Soul King Book Cover

Hello, everyone!

I'm thinking about putting the start of Shadow of the Soul King out on Kindle Unlimited at some point in the near future and the thing I'm most worried about is the cover.

Does anyone have any artists they particularly like who they think would be able to make a good cover?

The main image in my mind for book 1 would be a picture of Mila dying from a gunshot wound in the backseat of a car superimposed over the US Capitol exploding, but I'd also love other ide...

Chapter 315: Advent of the Heavenly Spark Soul King

Aalam

B rank races and higher had a few fundamental differences from races of previous ranks, the most famous being how they could leave behind bloodlines.

There were also artificial bloodlines like Mila’s original Prime Servitor, and bloodlines could be inserted into living cultivators while existing bloodlines could be enhanced, but there was a reason most bloodlines in the Prime Material were natural.

Bloodlines had a hint of at minimum B rank power, and the jump...

Diana

Sitting at one end of the dining room table in Aalam and Mila’s penthouse condominium, Diana looked around the room and tried to wrap her mind around what she was seeing.

First, on the other end was Mila, sitting at the head position where she belonged, Aalam to her right, and the two of them were obviously communicating with each other through their bond, each making the other smile, looking every bit the happily married couple. Then to Mila’s left was Isaiah, wh...

Then the next thing she knew she was on a different platform on an F rank planet somewhere, a platform which immediately activated, teleporting them again, this time ending up on what felt like a B rank planet, though there was a different feel to it than she was used to, like the laws of the universe somehow weren’t fully form...

Raven could look at all the available choices for his new race and bloodline, along with the techniques and boons which could be bought with Trial Points, but he couldn’t choose anything himself, having given up control over his reincarnation to the Heavenly Spark Soul King in exchange for the ability to share the Trial Points earned by Master Tedros and the Heavenly Spark Soul King’s sister.
