The combination of rationality and emotions, that was Zick's current state. Many unfamiliar impulses rose within him randomly now and then.

What would happen if he were to kill all the royalties of the Eastern continent?

What kind of result might be produced if the whole elven kingdom is put in a dangerous situation?

Zick was looking forward to it, dragon or world tree, which of these would interfere?

It was very interesting, especially Aeiron, he was already moved to the secret lab. He was kept in tight security where only Zick and Yuriel could enter.

From what Yuriel could deduce, Aeiron might never wake up from his slumber. Thus, Zick decided to use Aeiron's body for a certain experiment.

After all, Aeiron did have a grandmaster rank potential, it would be very interesting if the experiment succeeded.

Zick already had one cursed sword, there was no need for another just yet. Who knows, the blessing of the sun might interfere too.

Emotions were quite intriguing, they went beyond common sense, a fully unpredictable concept.

Especially Zick, he got a little used to his emotional pattern by now, but it still was unpredictable. He had to keep experiencing new things to be fully able to grasp them.

Heading towards another mana crystal node, Zick thought to himself: 'I am sure of one thing, I am a total hypocrite now haha.' f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

He felt pity, but he still killed them non the less.

He felt sorry for the people of the Eastern continent, but he would still cause an apocalypse-like situation.

It was hypocrisy in a way.

'Well, it's not like I mind, it feels like my emotions and ideology aren't compatible. But, I will still follow my ideology while only moving by my emotions when it's alright. This is the best course of action. I even have impulses of killing some annoying people but hold it in.' This was long decided by Zick.

Being controlled by emotions in this situation, where he was not invincible could only lead to certain death in the future.

"...."

In the end, his goal came back to attaining immortality and omnipotence. As long as one has strength one can do whatever he wants, this wasn't fully wrong.

'I guess I will still pursue strength above all others. Once I have attained immortality, I will try doing new things... Like playing with Arianell for real, well if she is alive by then.' Resolution rose within Zick.

Once that happens, he would not be chained anymore. If he was in a good mood, he would bless the world with prosperity. And if he was in a bad mood, the world would be filled with death. The world, no, the whole universe would revolve around his emotions.

Expectation rose within Zick, making him look forward to that moment.

Zick, Arianell, and Levienel next went to all the other mana crystal nodes, there were six of them in total. They came across many monsters, Ice cyclop, ice spiders, ice basilisks (lizards), and more.

After stationing golems at all the six mana crystal nodes, Zick, at last, set his sight upon the main node of the mana crystal mine.

It was in the middle of the Lectic mountain region, near the tallest mountain.

They started digging into the ground like before immediately, Arianell has already grown used to this by now too.

They pierced through the ground and kept moving deeper. Slowly, the ground grew tougher thanks to the immense flow of mana nearby. But it couldn't slow down Levienel at all, she moved unhindered like ever.

Crack!

Levienel directly pierced through the mana crystal and entered the main node.

Suddenly, Levienel along with the other two moved away to the distance.

Swoosh! Boom!

An ice spear landed on the place where they stood before. A dense aura was being released by the crystal-like spear.

Zick's eyes squinted, his skin was crawling with tension coming in contact with the opponent's presence.

The main node's center point was a huge place, the ceiling was at least thirty meters high, while the width of this place was more than hundreds of meters.

Zick looked at the monster who stood in the distance.

It had a body the size of a small hill. Its leg was that of a bull covered in thick frost-like armor, ice spikes protruded from its knees while its spiky tail swayed around. Its head was that of a bull with two sharp horns on it.

A minotaur.

And from the aura that it let out, it was undoubtedly a grandmaster rank monster.

Zick's eye flickered with a cold light: 'It would have been declared as one of the disasters if its existence was known without a doubt.' 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

'Still...Just how many years did it spend here to become such a monster? Normal minotaurs have Peak rank strength so it must have stayed for a long time for sure.'

The minotaur lifted its right hand at that moment, and a huge axe made of total ice formed.

The minotaur could feel that Levienel was an opponent that could not be looked down upon. Its intelligence was on par with humans, it waited for Levienel to be the one to attack first.

Looking at this, Zick smiled lightly: "Miss Levienel, do you think it is possible to capture this thing?"

He pointed at the minotaur with no worry, Zick was aware of Levienel's capabilities better than anyone else. She had strength that almost reached the peak of the grandmaster rank, with her immortality, she was truly undefeatable against any grandmaster-level being.

"It's possible," Levienel answered with no hesitation.

"Then please capture it alive, It will come in use as a study specimen." An emotionless voice left Zick's mouth.

Immediately after, Levienel vanished from her position and reappeared above the minotaur.

A ball of golden light formed in her hand, similar to a flower blooming. It shone in a blinding light not suppressing its aura at all.

Seeing this move for the first time, Zick looked at it closely with keen interest.

Arianell in his hand looked at the beutiful sight fixedly. She got a little worried about Zick and scared when the minotaur appeared. It all flew away looking at the sight before her.

Hundreds of golden chains sprouted out from the golden light in Levienel's palm, they twisted and moved towards the ice minotaur briskly.

The minotaur did not stay idle, the axe in its hand grew in size at once as it swung at the incoming chains.

Boom!

Harsh air pressure was created instantly, impacting even the place Zick stood in. Arianell and his hair fluttered immensely facing the harsh wind.

Zick looked forward: 'As expected...'

Unsurprisingly, the golden chains pierced through the ice axe, wrapping around the Minotaur's wrist, and restraining it firmly.

The other golden chains moved to the other part of the minotaur's body.

"Rooaar!!" With an angry roar, the minotaur's body started releasing an icy aura. This aura took the shape of spikes and instantly shot toward Levienel and the chains.

These spikes could easily kill dozens of peak master-level beings, but it was useless against Levienel.

The chains twisted moving at an extremely fast pace, breaking these imposing spikes in the blink of an eye.

The Minotaur was agitated now, its opponent was just too strong!

Zick eyes flickered in a cold light, the whole fight was mostly one-sided as he predicted.

Truthfully, there was no need for this fight to occur, Zick could have taken care of the minotaur by himself using the regretful necklace. But he didn't use it.

It was very rare to see Levienel use her real strength. Zick wanted to find out all of Levienel's trump cards so that if she were to turn against him, the chances of his survival increases dramatically.

'Well, I can straightforwardly ask her, but what if she hid some trump card? In the first place, her curse is something that holds the power equal to a God's blessing, if I am not wrong...' Zick's eye left the minotaur and looked at Arianell.

"What do you think?" Zick looked right into her eyes with a passive look. The meaning behind his words was sent through their connection.

Zick was asking whether she could become as strong as Levienel one day.

He was not expecting any answer, but he still got an energetic reply.

A determined look appeared on Arianell's face as she nodded her head repeatedly.

Looking at this, Zick laughed lightly: "Hahaha, work hard then, I will look forward to that day."

Zick patted Arianell's head softly as a show of affection, he meant what he said.

'If you grow strong enough in the future, I won't have to sacrifice you.'

Arianell's head automatically buried itself in Zick's chest, hiding her face.

Shortly, Levienel walked out of the dust that was created from the fall of the Minotaur's large body.

The minotaur's body was being dragged along with her, through the golden chains. It was motionless with its conscience pulled out of its body by Levienel.

"Wait a minute." Zick took out a round-shaped device with a green jewel in its middle, its size was the same as Zick's palm.

When Zick sent his mana into it, the green gem started shining dimly.

After a second, Yuriel's voice left the gem: "What might be your order, sir Zick."

"Empty the sector A-16 and create a large-scale teleportation circle there. I will be sending an experimental specimen in."
