Darius Supreme Chapter 436

"Divine Concepts?" Anthony asked with puzzlement.
"Hahaha, young Worker Ant, you really should put aside your endless work to explore the world a little. However, we are definitely grateful for your diligence, as without it, we would not have progressed this far, hmm?" Beelzebub replied amiably.
"M-My L-Lord, I am j-just…" Anthony stuttered, shocked and excited by the praise.
"Hahaha, don't think too much about it. No one can doubt your accomplishments, not before me. Since its praise, you deserve, praise you shall get." The Lord of the Flies reiterated.
Centicreed gazed at this with endless envy and jealously burning in his heart. Seeing his nemesis praised for hard work, which he had matched in every way throughout the centuries, made him feel discouraged.
Beelzebub then turned to the oversized centipede and spoke with a gentle tone. "You too young Centicreed. I have not missed the work you put into creating new pathways for our race, ever-expanding our tunnels and the routes we can take to bypass the eyes of those above to procure sustenance. Without you, we might have perished long ago."
Shocked by the sudden praise, Centricreed also mumbled foolishly, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction. Suddenly, everything he had done over all those long years seemed worth it, and he felt motivated to work even harder!
Anthony harrumphed slightly, but this didn't ruin his good mood from being acknowledged, especially since he had been the first to be praised.
Despite, or probably because of their rivalry, he - more than anyone - aware that the centipede bastard had done a good job, and as someone who loved worked, he couldn't help but grudgingly respect the fellow for his dedication.
"Mm, to answer the earlier question of young Anthony, a Divine Concept is an ethereal existence that exists in the center position of faith, law, and element. It is all of these, yet none of them at the same time." The aged Fly explained slowly, but upon seeing that the young ones were still confused, he decided to go a step further.

"All of you are familiar with the basic elements, like fire, water, earth, wind that we usually engage with. Now the Elves worship magic as a concept and have provided them with a great amount of Faith Energy over the millennia."
"As such, it was cloned from the Source concept of Magic from the laws of Faust, then infused with Faith Energy over time, giving both of a consciousness."
"As a concept of magic, it gave birth to its own elemental pantheon as it slowly attained godhood, the elements that were affiliated to it specifically are not the same elements we use through Faustian Law, instead we call them Divine Concepts to differentiate the two."
Seeing as Queenie, Mothlina, Ladyba, Rancido, Sonicket, and Spidersin understood, whereas Heracron, Bloodivore, Anthony, Centicreed, and Gluttworm still looked lost, Beelzebub sighed.
"Magic is essentially a law of Faust, something that we can tap into once our evolution reached a certain stage. Faith is a special form of energy produced when a group of mortals truly believe in an idea, concept or person, granting them the ability to attain godhood, or some aspect of it."
"An element is merely a particle of that, it represents an aspect of reality, forming a building block that makes our world and we ourselves."
"This law was copied from its source, fed great amounts of Faith Energy over time and had become partly god-like, then gave birth to its own group of elements that were not a part of the world like their counterparts, but unique to the concept of magic that created them, also possessing minor deific abilities."
"That is the concept of Divine Magic and the Divine Concept. It is basically typical Fallon magic, but much more powerful. More than one or two notches stronger in fact." Beelzebub concluded.

"Then, there's the fellow who has the connection to Gaia… what a problem. Gaia is the spirit of Faust, a sort of collective consciousness of every living thing on the planet that is non-sentient or semi-sentient."
"Sentient species like ourselves, the elves, the humans, and others have our own collective consciousnesses. Ours is our hivemind, the elves have their divine concept and the humans have the dreamscape."
"Back to the main point, the power of Gaia is far stronger than any of our own collective consciousness due to the sheer quantity of collective non-sentient minds on Faust being far greater than even if we were to take into account all the members of our race who have ever been spawned."
"In the past, Gaia gathered this power to gave birth to a race of special entities with unique powers called the Titans."
"They each had the ability to control one element beyond the level of Faust's own law system, a feat which nobody has ever managed to recreate. Like me, they were considered True Lords of Faust due to their nonsensical power." Beelzebub revealed with a tired sigh.
"Gaia might have been powerful, but perhaps fortunately she was not intelligent. Since the things it was collected from were non-sentient or semi-sentient, she too acted based on instinct only."
"She ended up splitting the core of her power into five hearts, namely the Thunder, Tree, Fire, Aqua, and Air Heart. Gaia handed her strongest Titans one each and tasked them with taking down those dogs who had abused Faith Energy to gather power."
The moment the Gods were mentioned, Beelzebub let out a derisive sneer as a cold aura burst from him. It made the other Grandmaster Insect Lord's quiver in fear, shocked by their Ancestor's might.
"However, it was all for naught. Gaia's Titans were killed one by one by the collective efforts of the 'Gods' and those Demons. Realizing that even after being dissected they showed no loss of vitality, they were eventually sealed in Armadon, under a place called Tartarus."
"This included the five champions, who had their elemental heart stripped out and taken as spoils of war by the so-called Gods. As for their current locations, I am unaware."
"In truth, there was one titan who managed to remain unsealed even under the assault of all the cretins and their armies, which was Thanatos. That fellow is the most fearsome of our kind, his power is almost endless as the law he controls is too easy to grow and empower due to its inevitability and fundamental nature to existence." Beelzebub admitted with an expression none of the Insect Lords had ever expected to see on him. Not only was there deep-seated respect, but also hints of fear.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
