Chapter 1723 Rift Manipulator
"It seems that you are severely using my own body as a catalyst for power. I know that my body is sturdy, but it does not mean that I do not get hurt. Have you become devious and started to form some sort of emotional intelligence?" Adrian stated.
"If I have formed emotional intelligence then I would not have used a straightforward way of making the master ingest the Essence of the Rift. I would have made sure that you have the best emotional stability when you ingest it." Paradox replied.
"Should I be worried that my own ego weapon has started to think of me as a lifeform to be optimized? Not really! Paradox has never failed me so I should trust it." Adrian thought to himself as he looked at the Rift Manipulator skill.

Adrian is actually in awe of the skill because it was really tailored to him as a demon. He wanted to kiss Paradox right then and there, but it would make him look like a psycho since his other guild members were there. Adrian told his guild members that there is nothing to worry about as he was just testing a new skill.
"Still, this skill is something that any other demon would want. It might be a passive skill, but it has the ability to reduce resource consumption. The only real weakness for spells of Origin Magic is that they often use lots of mana or resources. This is also one of the reasons why demons have much better physique than other beings.
"Can you calculate on how much more spells I can use now that I have this skill." Adrian asked Paradox.
"I have already calculated. The master will have 50% more spell casts than before as this skill is a perfect passive that suits all of master's abilities except for his Netheros and Aetheros skills." Paradox reported.
"Thanks. You always have my back partner." Adrian stated.
Paradox did not reply back to Adrian immediately as if it was blushing or shy from the pure praise that his master has given it. Paradox then returned back to swirling around Adrian, but one might see that it looked more energetic. Adrian tested the last effect of the Rift Manipulator passive skill, and he was not disappointed.
Adrian was able to store the Vortex skill inside the passive skill so that he can use it later without cooldown or mana. This was a perfect skill to use in an aggressive manner as he could store powerful Spatial Magic skills in advance. He visioned himself creating two large black holes that could actually rip the enemy apart if he positioned it correctly.
"I should now view the memory so that I can get the reward for the quest." Adrian stated as he opened the interface and clicked on the Memory of Abel.
==
Adrian suddenly saw his surroundings go pitch black as his body turned into particles. The next thing that Adrian could see is that he is in another body. He was in a body of a young Asmodian boy.
[You are currently viewing the Memories of the Asmodian named Abel.]
"Abel! Come here! We need to fix the broken spacetime rifts!" Cain or rather a younger version of him stated.
Cain and Abel looked like they were only eleven years old at this point in time. They were not Asmodians that were created through the pure source but through parents. The birth of Cain and Abel was actually celebrated by the Asmodians as they are a race that have great difficulty in increasing their numbers.
Since the Asmodians are basically immortal, their reproductive instincts are incredibly dull due to their age. Even the young Asmodians suffer from this as Asmodians actually age incredibly slower compared to other races. Asmodians need at least a hundred years to grow older physically and they stop growing physically after two thousand and five hundred years.
Adrian could not control Abel as he was only viewing the memory through the latter's eyes. Adrian was only there for the ride, but he was excited about the scenes, nonetheless. Adrian thought that he would see the same outside world, but he was incredibly wrong.
Adrian saw what the world looked like before it split or got fractured into different smaller worlds. The world was incredibly vast that even Adrian's eyes could not see everything even if he is taking in all of the scenery. What amazed Adrian the most is a gigantic warp gate installed in every metropolis like city.
Adrian was in a city or rather a place that is mostly demons just like his place except the city is an actual spatial anomaly. The houses and establishments were all floating and encased in a barrier that prevented any weather conditions that are affecting the outside. There are also futuristic looking hoverbikes which makes the ones that the gnomes create pale in comparison.
"So, this is Pangea!" Adrian stated as he was able to see the world before everything collapsed.
The most incredible thing that Adrian has seen is that the gods themselves were walking on the mortal plane. Even the mortals were interacting with the gods as if it was an everyday occurrence. The mana in the world was also incredibly dense which meant that any normal being born in this environment would have the qualities to easily become a powerful mage.
"Everything is incredible! Artifacts that can basically do complicated spells that needs a Master Mage is held by everyone. Everything is in order, and everyone was at peace. This is basically paradise!" Adrian stated as his vision suddenly darkened once more.
The next view that Adrian could see is when the beautiful paradise has started to be tainted by other beings. About five unknown beings suddenly entered the boundary of the main world, Pangea. These five beings were none other than the first five dark gods the world have seen.
These five dark gods were not like the ones that have arrived before that wanted to assimilate to Pandemonium. They were dark gods that wanted to devour everything in Pandemonium. This was the start of the invasion of the dark gods.
"Cain! What should we do?! Our land has already been corrupted!" Abel stated.
"We can always rebuild that, but we must go to the place where the Asmodians rest. We must seal it in another dimension!" Cain replied as he pulled Abel in a rift.
==
[You have arrived at the Secret Tomb of the Asmodians.]
"We must seal it brother! We are the Guardians of the Tomb, but we must not let the dark gods or distorted gods find this place! This is where those that died first are buried and their bodies will not rot away like those of mortals.
The dark gods or distorted gods must never get the bodies of the first to fall. They will defile the bodies of our proud people and use them as vessels to carry out the end of reality. Are you ready, brother?" Cain asked Abel.
"I am ready, brother. I already have the seals from the other Asmodians as well. It is now time for us to sacrifice some of our energy to create a seal for our lineage." Abel stated as he and Cain slit their palm and blood came out.
Cain and Abel's blood fused together to create a purple crystal. There were also four other crystals which represented the other Asmodian lineages. When the five crystals were gathered, the five crystals formed into a star that suddenly created a powerful vacuum that sucked the Secret Tomb of the Asmodians. An empty space or nothingness replaced the surroundings as all of it was sealed by the star shaped crystal before disintegrating to dust.
"Nice job, brother! Now that we have completed it, we can now go to war and even sacrifice our entire existence should we lose. The only way to unseal the location is for the five lineages to undergo the same ritual that we did." Cain stated as both of them left the area and prepared for war.
