Chapter 343

Darius maintained his angry expression up until he reached the City of Divinity's teleportation center. He had no intention of staying further, not even to see Deia. 

Right now he didn't want to startle her God and his people as to his interest and goals. 

Darius was like a snake, carefully basking in the sun and biding its time. With each passing day, the snake would grow in length until it would turn into a dragon, then it would flap its wings and rain its fire down upon kingdoms. 

When he became powerful enough, that God in question would not even understand what had hit him. Darius definitely would not do anything to give up his only advantage against his enemies. 

He walked through the portal and appeared in Favelia once more. Only then did he allow himself to rest his face, and a smile appeared on it as he left the area by using a House Portal Scroll. 

At the Divine Glade, he noticed that the number of fairies had increased and the mist too had become much denser. 

New kinds of plants had started growing in the glade, most of them brightly colored and illuminated. 

Darius' breath caught. 

He was convinced that if he took a picture of the glade and were to sell it on Earth, he would have likely been able to earn a good sum of money, as many artists would love it and try to capture its magnificence. 

However, Darius was only planning to rest here for a while, waiting for his territory to be further developed before going over to take a look. 

He smiled as he greeted the newly arrived fairies that were playing around the Lunar Dew pool, then walked into the cabin himself. 

Darius sat down at the table in the dining room, in the exact chair he had spawned in. Feeling slightly nostalgic, he prodded Miranda gently. 

"How goes the comprehensive sorting, my dear?" 

Miranda appeared and looked intrigued and surprised. "Well Daddy, there's a lot of good stuff here. You should take a look and see!" 

Darius nodded and let Miranda return to her work. As for himself, he didn't need to dig into Miranda for information as everything was in his System's Database. 

Since Miranda had used his mind to collect all the info, it was naturally deposited there as well. 

He had also filled it with all the normal info Miranda had acquired, so he could access all of this whenever he wanted. 

Darius then opened his Database and checked the magical knowledge section first. 

Darius sat there for a few hours with his eyes closed, his body relaxed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and displayed a look of shock and fear. 

These kinds of emotions were rare for Darius, especially when there was no direct danger to his life. However, the little he had parsed through had left him feeling this way. 

What exactly had he learned? 

Well, he had discovered that Faust was not a level playing field, not in any way possible. 

If what he had read was true, then it was very likely that after creating this world, Vena had left it to its own devices maybe because she couldn't care or because she had more important worlds in her repertoire to entertain her. 

Whatever the case, the magic of this world had developed in ways beyond the understanding of the common man. For one, the publicly known elements were only just a smokescreen, as many others also existed in tandem. 

Not only that, Darius had gotten to learn a little bit of what kind of power the Gods and Demons held, the kind of magic they could use that had made them the undisputed kingpins of Faust for millennia. 

Darius did not want to weaken his own morale to benefit the enemy, but he truly felt like he had left the kiddie pool and had finally been plopped into the adult pool. 

However, he was smart enough to understand that even if he had come to a slightly deeper pool, he was far from the deep end. 

In order to reach the 7 foot and beyond section, he would have to digest all this info as well as everything else Krona had hidden away. 

No wonder Darius had seen people outside the restricted section so desperate to enter, and why they looked at him like he was a fool for rejecting God Krona's offer back then. 

After all, the information he possessed would not be stolen from him, yet he would have been able to freely learn all of Faust's past, present, and future secrets. 

Darius took a deep breath and realized that God Krona had actually been extremely fair to him back then and that it was him who had lacked the ability to appreciate it given the little information he had. 

However, it made little difference now, as he had the Supreme System and Miranda to maximize his benefits. 

As such, he left the table and moved to the bed, laying atop it while summoning a Guard Android. 

"Every day, pour exactly 10 milliliters of this liquid into my mouth! Wake me up in three months' time if I don't do it myself. Also, clean my body every day using the most non-invasive methods available." Darius commanded the Android. 

It nodded as it registered its orders and came to stand by the bedside. As for Darius, he handed it a large basin of Lunar Dew he had just poured out. It would be used to sustain him in place of food and water. 

At this time, Darius was unaware that this unnecessary, as he was now a Dragon. Forget eating every day, he could go without it for a year based on the amount of power his body produced per day. 

Of course, he was new to this physique so he had not dug out all the details of it, only what the System had shown him. 

In time, he would be able to appreciate just what he had become in detail. 

As Darius lay on the bed, he spared a quick thought for Gunner and Xela, but decided that they would be informed of his circumstances by Miranda who already knew what he was about to do. 

Once his mind sunk into the depths of his Database, Darius entered the wonderful world of knowledge and wisdom.

Just like that, 6 months passed.
