Odyssey of the Blind God

"The Primordial Angel is not amongst the corpses? Well, that\'s sad."

Nial was currently organizing his spatial rings when he noticed that the bitch, the Primordial Angel, was missing.

Annihilating the Angels, Heligavs and the other ten races had been rather simple. After all, they had already been weakened and their strongest forces had been spread out across their territory.

Furthermore, Nial\'s Devils were not to be taken lightly. Even Primordials and Ancients couldn\'t take them lightly.

That was also why he was now in possession of more than 100 billion corpses, which he digested in large batches. While digesting the corpses in batches that contained millions of corpses at a time, Nial sorted the other loot he obtained from the Devils.

The Devils plundered the planets, taking everything that looked even the slightest bit valuable. Nial didn\'t really want to know how the Devils left behind the planets after their big plunder, but he could roughly fathom it. 

Barren.

That was probably what was left behind. Barren lands.

It caused him to smile a little, thinking that he had become much crueler than ever before. However, that was life. The events of the past created the character of the present. He was not sure how much he would change but he knew that his actions had to be decisive and that he had to get hold of evrey possible opportunity to grow stronger.

At the same time, he had to acquire even more resources, otherwise, he would end up losing the Orion Shelter sooner or later.

The Origin was constantly growing and it was only a matter of time before it regained its former power. By then, Primordials, Ancients, and Divine Gods would attack him. 

As long as Nial was far away from the Orion Shelter, they wouldn\'t attack it. However, some Ancient Gods and other Gods may think differently. They would want to see Nial crawl on the ground, begging for mercy if his beloved friends and family were to be taken hostage.

The Orion Shelter\'s defenses had to grow stronger and he would have to leave a bunch of powerful Devils behind to guard the Orion Shelter, and his family, no matter where he was.

He ordered a few thousand Devils to become his family\'s subordinates. They might not like it, but it was not as if Nial cared about their liking. As long as his family was fine, everything would be good.

By procuring more and better resources, Nial could ensure the safety of his family. That was also why he had to sort out his loot first. There may not be many God-grade items in the loot of the Devils, but that was still fine. Devouring and digesting the billions of corpses was also an important and rather time-consuming task, which he had to complete, either way.

He was currently not in a rush, to begin with. He could work calmly and consider carefully what he should do. Enhancing the Orion Shelter\'s Ancient Dome and other defensive mechanisms wouldn\'t be easy. It was rather time-consuming, and something he couldn\'t solve just because he wanted to.

Nial knew that he had to start researching the Ancient Dome and other runic devices once again before altering anything. Upgrading something was not necessarily easy, especially not if we\'re talking about something like the Ancient Dome.

Fortunately, Nial had already something in mind.

There were many ways to upgrade the Ancient Dome and the other defensive mechanisms of the Orion Shelter. One of the ways was to make use of the things he saw and experienced in the Witness State. The isolation barrier of the Silver Eye Clan, the weapons of the Lacardia Empyrea Void, and the Eora magic circles used by the Witchers of the empire were all things he could use as a reference in order to apply new upgrades.

He was not too sure how long it would take but Nial was pretty sure that it was only a matter of years before the Orion Shelter would be fortified enough to endure the attack of Ancient Gods. Of course, the attacks of Ancient Gods were not something the Ancient Dome could easily endure over a long period, but that was not necessary, in the first place.

The Army of Devil was stationed in the Orion Shelter, and he would create a permanent rift in the Monster Dimension inside the Orion Shelter soon as well. That way, his Devils would never be too far away from the Orion Shelter if something were to happen. 

At the same time, it wouldn\'t be challenging to enter the Monster Dimension to start looting it. 

Nial planned to enter the Monster Dimension to collect a few heavenly treasures anytime soon. However, he changed is mind after he felt too bloated from devouring the first few billion corpses. He couldn\'t do too much while his body was overflowing with energy, otherwise, his progress would stagnate. 

That was not something Nial wanted to do. Thus, he sent a few thousand Devils to search for the heavenly treasures he - or precisely Goldy and Psy - needed. 

Goldy and Psy were at the peak of their racial limit, and it was about time to evolve them. The Blind Mouse would never evolve into a higher lifeform. However, the Blind Mouse\'s power would increase drastically. Nial wanted Psy to become as strong as possible in the shortest possible time. 

The same applied to the Divaro Golmmian Flood Dragon, whom Nial wanted to evolve into the True Golden Dragon with a single evolution.

Goldy would require a bunch of heavenly treasures to achieve that but Nal already knew what the Flood Dragon required. That way, it was only a matter of time and energy before Goldy would become an even stronger ally than the Familair was already. 

Various plans had formed in Nial\'s mind and he was ready to execute all of them. There was no need to hesitate as time was of the matter. He finished all preparations and made sure that everyone knew what they had to do before he sent out the Devils.

Meanwhile, Nial focused the following years to become stronger and to strengthen the Orion Shelter.

The hundreds of billions of corpses had been fully digested by then and his terrific progress slowed down.

He was about to become an Ancient God.
