Chapter 743: Scheme
Jayden himself isn’t sure what the current limit of his strength is, but the enemies he would be facing from here on out are mostly going to be very strong, like Zeus.
Closing his eyes, Jayden used the Demonic Devouring Arts, and in the next moment, the eye disappeared from his palm, and Jayden’s mind sank deeper into emptiness, leaving his body floating freely in space.
Deep within his mind, Jayden could see a blinding silhouette; it was giving him a familiar aura, something that he had felt before, it was Belphegor or, to be exact, a wisp of his existence.
Jayden saw Bael’s eye floating right in front of the silhouette, and it seemed that Belphegor had finally found peace.
Crushing that eye, his gaze moved towards Jayden. Even though he had long since died, even this small part of his existence contained such a strong aura.
“I’M HAPPY AND SAD, I’M RELIEVED AND WORRIED. BUT JAYDEN, IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR ME TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BIRTH AGAIN AND FOR BRINGING THIS SENSE OF COMPLETENESS.
I SEE YOU HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED IT, THE WORLD TREE’S SEED, IT’S GOOD, SO NOW I CAN LEAVE SOMETHING EVEN MORE VALUABLE THAN MY ENTIRE LIFE: CREATION. THE MOMENT YOU MASTER IT, YOU WON’T NEED ANYTHING ELSE. GOODBYE, JAYDEN…”
Slowly the presence Jayden was feeling began to disappear, but it left behind something; it was just a small sphere of energy, but it seemed as if this part is what will make the Demonic Devouring Arts whole.
The tiny sphere moved on its own and became one with his mind, becoming more than just a part of his memory.
Jayden could feel a large amount of knowledge rushing into his brain. Even though he had gone through the memories of countless people by this point, the pressure these memories were putting on him was like nothing else.
It was not painful, yet it was overwhelming. Jayden just floated with his eyes closed, his mind being filled with all kinds of processes taking place all over the universe.
This skill wasn’t something one alone would be able to complete even after living for thousands of years.
Belphegor was the person who finally completed this process. If he was given just a little more time, there probably wouldn’t have been anyone who could have killed him. But even before he got to use the final part of the Demonic Devouring Arts, he was conspired against and killed.
Jayden didn’t know how much time had passed. The knowledge was too much, and messing it up even a little bit would render him unable to learn this skill, and he would have to start from the beginning.
But he could feel that this skill in some way was related to the seed of the world tree, and without it, he would never be able to use that skill.

“Are you done?” Anna’s voice rang out in his head as Jayden finally opened his eyes. Nothing seemed to have changed about him, neither externally nor internally, and learning all that didn’t increase his strength at all.
“Yes, I obtained it. CREATION,”
Jayden replied as he sensed all that knowledge that he had turned into his own, that skill, something that alone is enough to make someone one of the strongest in the entire universe. Yet if you have even a single weakness, you wouldn’t be able to use it.
So to use CREATION, one must already be a top power, and unfortunately, Jayden would not be able to use that skill as of yet, but as soon as he slays a god, his strength will increase several times.
“It seems my goals haven’t changed; I still need to deal with Zeus, but that is going to be a very big war.” Jayden mumbled as he began to fly back towards the earth; it was currently night there.
It only took him a few seconds to return back to the top of his building. After arriving back, he took his mobile out and found that one and a half days had passed already, and since it was already past midnight, he decided not to call Kate.
“Maybe the witches might be able to help you out with it; they have quite the news network after all.” Anna suggested, and after thinking for a moment, Jayden decided to go meet the puppet witch, though he didn’t think they would be able to help him with this matter.
“Guess I’ll try that too.” Jayden disappeared from there in the next moment.
The company was closed to the outside world, but Jayden just teleported inside and walked towards the puppet witch’s office. The guards didn’t stop him, but they informed her about his arrival.
“Hey, is this really how a gentleman should behave, coming to a girl’s room this late at night?” The puppet witch spoke with a smile; her attitude had changed a lot compared to before.
“Sorry about that, but it is something urgent, so I didn’t want to waste any time.” Jayden replied as he sat in front of her.
“Fine, fine, so tell me what is it you want to know? I heard some people are messing with your family, is it about that? ” She questioned while filling a cup with some kind of juice and then pushing if towards Jayden.
” Yes, tell me whatever you know about that. ” Jayden said as he pushed the tea away.
” I heard the goblins, Coven and Malgor kidnapped someone from your family and even tried to attack your company. Hmm they are getting quite wild, do you want to launch war against them? ” She asked as she threw the cup away against the wall.
” No, my priority is to find Xerome, I’ll deal with the three of them later but for now, I have to know if he is even alive or not. ” Jayden answered, his eyes glowing red.
” I am not completely sure but I also believe that Xerome might be on Earth and that little trick you are planning to use, I think it might actually work against those stupid creatures.
Heh, I like that idea, but do you actually have anyone to fill that role or is it just a fake call? ” The puppet queen asked as she filled some tea in a cup and pushed it towards Jayden.
” Yes I do have someone, if you have nothing else to tell me I’ll be leaving. ” He said and pushed the cup back towards her.
” Wait, there is something I want to ask you too. ” She said and threw the cup away again, then clearing her throat she questioned:
” The preparations for the tournament are almost finished and supreme beings from all over the world would be coming there to participate, so do you plan to take a part in it? ”
The answer came instantly, Jayden stood up and replied: ” No, I am not the least bit interested in it, and I would rather stay at home with my wives then go fight some old men for whatever gift they are putting up. It’s meaningless for me. ”
