Speed Is King

After that vigorous and highly stimulating session, Elliot felt really good. For the first time in a very long time, he felt as though things were looking up.

Having a special someone filled a void in his heart that he never knew existed, and awakened a huge bunch of feelings he never knew he could feel.

Passion. Desire. Possessiveness.

And a deep, unrelenting urge to keep her safe from harm and to make her boundlessly happy.

He looked at his Dragon Apostles who were all seated calmly, awaiting his instructions.

"Let's begin." Elliot said quietly. "Manifest in hologram the changes you want to make to your Soul Power Structures based on the new understanding you have, and combine your findings with each other. Make sure you all come to a consensus on which is the best method to proceed."

"Master, you understand that each of us have vastly different Soul Power Structures, and will require different modifications to achieve our strongest potential?" Dragon Apostle Blackwing said in his deep rumbly voice.

"Of course. I just want all of you to know exactly what each others' findings are, and make the most efficient and effective upgrade to your Soul Power Structure. After that, I will need all of you to design the best one for me." Elliot said.

"Understood." Dragon Apostle Blackwing said.

Immediately, the nine Dragon Apostles started to discuss with each other. They were all masters in their own right, and they did not take very long to share their findings.

Within one short hour, they were done, and they went their separate ways to finalize their strategy and make the upgrade.

The upgrade would take much longer, and Elliot didn't want to stand around waiting for them, so he decided to go and stabilize the situation with his realm.

He closed his eyes and got his many clones to work.

Each of his clones were powers that none in the Realm could withstand, and wherever they went, fires were put out and enemy strongholds were taken down.

It was extremely efficient and very easy for him to exert his will upon the realm.

As a mere Hegemon, he was already standing firmly at the peak of power.

But even so, he was STILL embroiled in a struggle against powers that were beyond him.

He felt as though that his life in recent days were like a drama series or a novel series where the author had purposely created a series of ever increasingly powerful enemies to deal with.

It was unnerving.

But it was his life.

"If God is real and if He is truly in control of everything, then let Him see what I am doing and be impressed." Elliot thought to himself.

"I will take whatever is being thrown my way and turn them into pure, dazzling success. Like these Law Runes. I will use them to create the strongest Soul Power Structure and breakthrough into Ancient Level in unprecedented power and perfection.

And if there are higher civilizations that God had made that exist in some other planes or multiverses or whatever, I will make sure that I am able to deal with them as well.

I will tame every single multiverse I can gain access to, and then go on to conquer the realm where Laws exist." Elliot vowed to himself.

The seconds passed into minutes, and the minutes flowed into hours. Very soon a day passed, then two, then a week.

Without anyone being fully aware because they were so focused on powering up, a full week passed.

Elliot had finally left an unerasable stamp of authority in the entire realm.

Thousands of his clones ruled the massive empires from every single seat of power. His will and his influence could be felt in literally every nook and cranny of the known universe.

The Primals that opposed him mere weeks ago were kneeling before him, and the last of the Shadow Realm Warriors were being purged.

His influence crashed into the Shadow Realm with the all encompassing strength of a Tsunami and stamped his will irreversibly there as well.

It was a very productive week for him.

But at the same time, it was also a horrible one.

His Dragon Apostles were all still engrossed in their power up, and the single Dragon Apostle that weren't powering up had taken the girl whom he was missing very terribly away!

"Damn that stupid Purity." Elliot couldn't help but curse heartily at her. "Where in all of heaven did she bring Jessica to??"

"They are probably still training in the ways of love." Khalendros said with a laugh as he lounged lazily on a hammock by the beach where Elliot had chosen to relax and wait.

"She looks like she is very flexible. I am sure she will learn those positions very quickly." Khellendra said with a contemplative look on her face.

"Wahahaha! Having a human form sure is nice! For us bears we only have one position available for us." Brock said rather ruefully.

"Position? What position? Can you teach me, gramps?" Ellie asked eagerly and caused every single beast to burst out laughing.

All of his beasts had spent most of the week outside of their beast spaces, and were having a great time sparring with each other and honing their new skills and new powers.

Their strength and sophistication improved by leaps and bounds daily. But most notable of all was Kai, Elliot's Chaos Apostle.

In that week, he had risen to be the indisputable leader of the group and by the end of it, he was showing a slight sense of unease.

But even he had to smile at Ellie's naive question. Even though he was younger than her, somehow his incredible growth rate had made him much more mature and much more knowledgeable than his fellow beasts!

"I am sure you will find out about those positions soon enough." Kai said with a chuckle. "You just need to find a husband for yourself."

"A husband, why do I need a husband to learn about positions?" Ellie pressed on with her awkward questions.
