I.. Am God?-Chapter 124 Raya And The Old Man’s Teachings

Boom! In the battlefield, a huge explosion appeared out of nowhere, and Ichtir bodies laid flat on the ground. Then, blood suddenly spurted out from every nook and cranny of the elf's body, shocking the elf. "You!" He flared up and glared at him.

"Kelbrom!" Gios suddenly shouted. "!!!" Kelbrom's eyes widened up with shock, "You will never be able to return Aqiartha to its miserable state! I will never let you!" Gios then suddenly exploded into a huge blood ball. It then compressed into a small strand of golden blood, the sword also melted into a strand of silver metal and the two strands merged together and shot straight to Kelbrom's heart.

"AARGH!!" A sharp pain assaulted his body. His strength weakened considerably. His body noticeably crumpled, making him look like an old man.

"Humans!!!" Kelbrom shouted with anger. He also slowly fell down from floating, but was caught by the Thirteen Generals.

He shot his hand forward as if retrieving something. A small wisp appeared on his hand while he glared at it.

"I shall let you see that no one would be able to stop me from reclaiming this realm! I shall also let your people suffer from your naiveness!" He growled. "Charge at the cities! Enslave those ants! If they resist, slaughter them!

With the order, the remaining Ichtir charged towards the cities. The Thirteen Generals also flew down towards their targets.

Sally and her company journeyed to the east to seek aid from Hayle, hoping to save their homeland and come back to their families happily. Princess Raya silently hoped for Sarqisi's help. Unbeknownst to them, the Sarqisi that they know has fallen under the claws of their hated Ichtir.

In Hayle, inside the forest where Matthias and the group stayed.

When morning came, they packed their things and continued their journey towards the army camp that General Tarsus mentioned.

While traveling, Princess Raya, as Matthias' teacher, taught him basic knowledge about the laws.

"What do you know about laws, Han Jianyu?" Princess Raya asked.

"Hmm.." Matthias thought about it, "Law encompasses all things under Heaven and Earth. It is the rule that all creations follow. All things would never even have the chance to defy this law for it is intangible and would be followed subconsciously."

Princess Raya smiled and nodded approvingly, "Good. You have some of the basics covered." She replied. "Then, I'll widen your knowledge even more."

"Firstly, I'll just correct you with something. Law encompasses all things, Heaven, Earth, and Void."

"Then, I'll begin the lesson."

"There are three types of laws; Natural, Absolute, and Decree. Natural laws encompass laws that were made by creation. It comes about naturally as everything is built. It reforges the voids in laws when creation comes about. Basically, Natural laws are laws created by insentient creation."

Princess Raya opened her palm and five elements (wind, fire, earth, metal, and water) appeared revolving around it, "One such example of Natural laws are the elements. When water flows, it generates wood, Wood can give birth to fire, Fire creates earth, Earth creates precious metals underground, Water collects underground and it all begins again. In contrast, Water controls Fire, Fire melts Metal, Metal can chop down wood, wood can break through earth, and Earth controls water."

"But, it isn't always like that, isn't it?" Matthias queried, "In times, when Water flows, it destroys Wood, Wood can be used to put out Fire, Fire burns Earth, Earth corrupts precious metals, Fire evaporates water, Metal puts out Fire, Wood flattens out Metal, Earth can split wood, and Water causes erosion, therefore destroying Earth." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Princess Raya closed her palm then smiled with satisfaction, "That is correct. That is where the Absolute Laws come in." She affirmed.

"Though natural laws encompasses creation, Absolute Laws encompasses creation, laws, and those before it."

She then added, "Absolute Laws govern all things, even the other laws, just like what I mentioned earlier. Examples of the law is Force. Absolute Laws also govern Creation, Destruction, Order, Chaos, Void, and Existence. Absolute Laws are too broad, so I'll talk about the types of laws for now."

"Then we have the Decree Law. This kind of law is abundant and free but not really that important usually, as it is created by the able sentient beings like gods, creators, and rulers."

"As it was created by sentient minds, the laws are often filled with holes and inconsistencies, therefore having it weak. It also needs to be in line with the two previous laws to be successfully created. Sometimes though, because of its freedom with creation, laws could sometimes undermine the natural laws, find voids in absolute laws, and become more powerful than the other. But, there is one in every millions of them that can create a perfect law that could rival the two previous laws."

"Mhmm.." Matthias listened closely to her while writing down notes in his mind.

"Now that we have covered the basics of laws, I'll teach you its usage!" She then chirped.

"By knowing the laws, you can create spells, magic, and alchemy. If you combine the Laws of Space and the Laws of Land, you can teleport as far as your magic can take you. If you combine any elemental laws with the Law of Force, you can make any element a deadly arrow. If you want the hard part, combine the Laws of Sharpness, Force, and Space, and you can decapitate anyone without even getting near them. I would've wanted to do that, but us Spirits are limited by our capabilities."

"Our expertise is the laws of healing, nature, and fate. I'll start with the laws of healing. In contrast to popular beliefs of humans, the laws of healing don't just focus on healing their sickness. Even if they do not have sickness, the laws of healing could be applied to them." She continued, "The core of the law of healing will always be improving all the parts of the natural universe."

While walking, plants suddenly grew beside Princess Raya's feet. "Just like this. Even though the earth here isn't in bad conditions, I could use the law of healing to improve the condition of the earth from good to great!"

"Mhmm." Matthias nodded. He closed his eyes and tried to tackle the laws. Of course, nothing happened, which made Matthias disappointed. But, Princess Raya's eyes showed that of a shocked expression.

"You're a quick learner, Han Jianyu." Princess Raya congratulated. "But nothing happened. Don't console me, Princess Raya." Matthias laughed awkwardly and sighed.

"No, you misunderstood me, Han Jianyu." Princess Raya said. "Although nothing happened, the laws have shown reaction. Even if you didn't see anything, I did, and that in itself is already impressive."

"Really?" Matthias asked. Inside his mind, Old Man Sanyi also affirmed, "She's right, Matthias. Although you didn't see anything visually, the composition of the earth's DNA changed greatly."

"Yes, of course!" Princess Raya nodded fast. "The earth has changed, though you cannot see it." She said.

Hearing them, Matthias felt relieved, but Old Man Sanyi quickly stopped him from daydreaming. "Don't be proud of yourself, Matthias." He snorted.

"Even though you made a reaction in the components of the earth, you are definitely not talented."

"Why?" Matthias asked indignantly. This Old Man is too demanding!

"Of course I am going to demand a lot from you, nitwit." He reprimanded. "You're a Creator God, Matthias, not a normal cultivator. Even though I locked your godcraft and authority, your body itself is already made to be a higher being! Your body is the closest to the laws, forged by the universe and knowledge of creation itself. You should've been on the same level as that gal Raya the first time you used such a low-rank law. You don't even need to think for the laws to worship you like their sovereign." Old Man Sanyi added with mockery.

"Why are you so cruel.." He cried in his thoughts.

"As I have said already, Matthias. You are a Creator God, one that is closer to creation and origin. Also with the help of the Mystical Spirits and Us, your growth mustn't be slow or that'll mean that you are a stupid person. I guess you're not, right?" Old Man Sanyi sighed and explained to him gently.

"Sigh.. I guess you're right." Matthias nodded. Suddenly, Old Man Sanyi audibly flared, "That too!" He yelled.

"What now?!" Matthias asked in his thoughts.

"You're downgrading yourself by looking too depressed about stuff!" He shouted inside Matthias' head. "I also know that you degraded yourself in front of your creation. Are you nuts? You do know that religion relies on a built hierarchy, right? You're a god, Matthias, not a poor man that just turned into a billionaire! You didn't just get rich, you became an existence that is cut out from being mortal and are leagues above them! Even if you were a human once, you are now a god! That's millions of miles away from mortal beings! Even the Stellar-Level Beings in your galaxy are still miles away from you, and they are already at a level where they could totally annihilate worlds!" This is where Old Man Sanyi really sounded serious as he ranted over everything that Matthias did before.
