Chapter 94: Five Days!
A Quarter of the Capital... Was in utter shambles.
Half the Clans were at war against each other.
Alliances started to form, and Draco just sat there watching the aftermath of his actions.
Little by little as time passed Clan after Clan joined the heat, the Civilians weren't sparred and what started as a couple feuds between two heirs of two Clans turned into a fully-fledged Empire Crumbling to Chaos and Destruction from its initial Order and Security.
The Army that should have been the first to keep things in check had its Great Commander in his HoneyMoon and a large part of their Strongest Soldiers and higher ranking members were dead in the recent Trip to the Forest.
But this didn't mean the Army was weak and couldn't keep things in order, but Draco didn't let them do so. In the same way, he created problems between Clans, he created problems inside the Military.
Most Soldiers were first and foremost Children of Noble and Royal Clans, So without Draco having to do anything there was already turmoil in the Military Ranks, However, the Empire wasn't so dumb as to not find a problem for this thousands of years ago, so conflicts were kept to minimum...
That was until Draco used the Military puppet he controlled to infiltrate the Military from the inside.
Once there, he controlled the Higher Ups based on their Clans and after a few days of doing so he separated the Military into Factions, and once he lit up the fire between them, he let them be.
Pretty simple strategy, but it worked nonetheless.
The Empire was then in Chaos from the inside and the outside, as well as every corner aside from the Imperial Family that was first conquered from the top.
After the first 3 Clan Heirs, he shapeshifted as Draco took a short rest and then went on to form an alliance between Clans and made use of the turmoil in the Empire to start taking land all over the place making enemies of many Clans.
Draco by this time already had nothing else he needed to do as Clans had relationships with each and when a Clan had no choice but to help another and was then forced to call for help it inevitably went on to involve the Entirety of the clans, of course with a little bit of Draco's interference so to remove that slight or rather high chance of Clans refusing to cooperate.
And in a duration that extended to 5 days, Draco had everything in place needed to call quits and watch from above.
The Anomaly didn't have long to come back as it was already around 2 weeks since he was gone and Draco estimated that in around 1 to 3 weeks maximum, he would be here.
So in this period of time, he only did two things:
Contemplating the intricacies of the Chaos he caused to raise his Understanding Rate and Devouring EX-Ranks.
Where to find these EX-Ranks? Most Clans had at least One.
If not someone with a high understanding rate then many with low Understanding rates.
It wasn't much of a problem for Draco to do so. nor was it a problem for the World.
It wasn't like killing EX-Ranks did any harm to the world, if anything, it was a good thing as they stripped it of its control over its own laws.
Unlike the first time Draco had to kill an EX6Rank this time, it was just a matter of teleporting close, snatching their lives, Summoning, Devouring, and Enjoying their benefits.
The previous importance and glory they had? All Gone!
Their status? Their Families? Their Wealth? All Gone!
All that remained were their deeds. Their effect on this world no matter how small it is.
Now that Draco Evolved once again every time he Devours an EX-Rank the Understanding Rate Gained is Multiplied by 4.
Depending on their Job the Laws they had could be as simple as Fire and Water or as Complex and General as Wealth, Colors(Art/Paint), and Structures.
Wealth meant the ability to analyze, sense, gain, and hide, as well as being able to do many things as long as it's related to Wealth.
Colors was more complex, as Colors had a relation with Light but it was such a Fantastic and rare Concept as it allowed for a wide range of Imagination, The Holder of the Law of Color depending on his 'Way' of Understanding could implement it in many things such as Art that he could then bring into life or literally Control the very Coloring of the World allowing him to go invisible at will detect the slightest variation in colors and control what others saw.
as for Structures? It was a very Complex, Very rare, Very Overpowered Concept that close to no one has ever managed to Understand.
Not to the level of Chaos which was already a Concept only 1 person could hold at a time within a very large yet limited space. Add to that, those capable of taking it very far or even Understanding it amongst those chosen who are already Anomalies on their own was miniscule.
What mattered right now was that the Law of Structures was related to anything that had to do with structures, thus Molecular Structures, Physical Structures, and Orderly and Disorderly Structures.
It was indeed an Overpowered Law that could control the very Structure of Reality itself, but it could merely manipulate that very structure to give it another shape and not change it entirely into something it isn't.
In any case, Draco took things very slowly, as the Empire slowly fell into Complete Chaos he Devoured an EX-Rank after another with no one knowing anything of it as EX-Ranks were already a minority and they preferred to remain secluded.
However, those who had jobs such as Protectors were very quickly discovered to have disappeared and this only aggravated the Chaos.
It took a full 14 Days for Draco to stop Devouring EX-Ranks and that was the very day the Anomaly came, alongside his wives.
The Second the Anomaly arrived the sky turned black and even though Draco was hidden, he looked at him straight in the eyes.
"Well well, It's nice meeting you, Son!" With a wide smile on his face, Draco flashed his signature Evil smirk.
"So this was what you were trying to do by approaching Mother like that, huh? Pretty daring, I'll give you that." The anomaly said.
He was a young man with dashing black hair and wore a long black robe that was similar to a Cultivator's attire. He had a sharp jawline, Other Wordly Handsomeness, and looked to be the easy-going type... Until he was not.
"Alexander, let me give this bastard a beating as payback for what he has done to our Empire." One of the Women behind the Anomaly stepped up and said.
The group of women without exception were all hidden from the public's view through some mysterious fog as Alexander was a Jealous Man who hated others looking at his women in any way shape or form. This was a nice way for them to dress however they wanted for their husband and not be worried about anyone else seeing them.
"You guys get back to the Castle. This guy is mine." Alexander without looking back said.
The group of women behind him were surprised to see him like this as he seldom got angry.
The wife who talked first wanted to retort but he turned around and said: "Please."
And then another one of his wives touched her shoulder and they teleported.
"Come on up, Dear Father." Alexander without the slightest of embarrassment or shame addressed Draco as his Father in a way that didn't leave any taste in Draco's Mouth.
"Tsk, Boring. I have to teach you how to be considerate it seems." Draco said as he shook his head and appeared right in front of the Anomaly, Alexander.
"You want to know why I've done all this?" Draco asked.
With a backdrop of an entire city spanning Millions of Kilometers in shambles, the 'Father' and 'Son' Duo looked at each other.
"At least you know." Alexander said.
"What Father wouldn't know what his son is thinking." Draco replied.
"Enough of that. Tell me already. I'm barely controlling myself right now."
"Now now don't be too haughty, Son. I ain't going anywhere." Draco smiled and said.
*Fwshhh* *Booom*
Catching the fist thrown at him with one hand, Draco looked at Alexander and the latter looked back at him.
"You're strong, But if you don't use whatever makes you The Anomaly then Combat Power alone would never be enough." Draco said.
Without a single other word, Draco formed a Table made out of Chaos and two thrones before letting Alexander go free and he pointed with his hand while saying.
"Sit."
Alexander did so without a single word and Draco took on a comfortable position said.
"So you want to know why I'm doing this, huh?"
