Darius Supreme-Novel

Right now though, he left Pokterr with Gunner and Xela in tow. Using a Cross-Continental Temporary Spatial Array, they arrived at the Divine Oasis which was pretty much the same as when they had left if. 

Darius stood beside the pond here that was made up of Pristine Pure Water, wondering if he should undertake the task of filling it with Lunar Dew as well? 

However, he shook his head. That would take too long and the benefit wasn't worth the hassle. He trusted the Divine Glade inexplicably because it was where he had been spawned, his connection with it was absolute. 

This place belonged to all reincarnators like him, and at the same time to the specific one who was here previously, Sino D'Mara most likely. 

As Darius had admitted to his Branded Servants, everything he had told Beelzebub had been a lie. He honestly had no idea whether Sino D'mara was the previous one or who the ones before him were at all, or their missions. 

He would certainly like to know for sure as it could yield great benefits. However, he wasn't in possession of any means to learn it for now, which was not a problem… yet. 

Anyway, he pondered his next steps. The Quest timeline for the Genocide of the Insects had been 6 months, and they had only just about spent 2 months of that time. 

That was why Darius had asked Miranda to get things done within 4 months, as that should have been the completion time. He had pre-planned to spend the entire 6 months just in case, so he technically had bought himself some free time by finishing things up too early. 

The Itemancer wasn't in a rush to return to Safemoon, and wanted to use this period in between the calm and the storm to complete some important side tasks. 

One was completing the Test of Mettle and becoming the objective ruler of Ludo, while the other was completing the pathway for the new element he had found so he could claim the benefits from the Laws of Faust. 

Both of these could be completed in the next period of time, so it was simply a matter of which to do first? Darius pondered and decided to learn the new element first. 

It was logically the smarter choice, as it could - for all he knew - give him the extra edge to stand on his own during the Test of Mettle. As such, he removed the Portable Housing unit and placed it beside the Divine Oasis' cottage. 

While the cottage was fine, Xela and Gunner enjoyed the modern facilities of the Portable House and it should keep them away from boredom for the next period of time. 

Darius entered his master bedroom and sat cross-legged on his bed, entering a sort of meditative posture. He closed his eyes and delved into the world of magic, racing through his circuits as he traced the path of the element he had discovered so far. 

Miranda joined him, granting him extra computing power in the sense that he could mirror his progress and run hundreds of simulations to find the right path without Darius having to risk his own neck like every other mage who attempted to create a spell or discover a new element. 

If Faust could have this tech, it would have advanced far faster and the powers in this world would be far more competent. 

Well, with Darius aiming to expand the Supreme Portal and provide everyone a HoloBrace, that might soon happen as others could pay to get their hands on their own exclusive Child AI to assist them in this regard. The requirement for this was of course that Miranda got enough satellites into orbit to maximize her computing power. 

However, Faust's general development was only a means to enrich the world he would soon control. Darius had no interest in being the Supreme of a backwater world. 

Clearly, when Vena had created this world, she had just chucked it to the side and forgotten about it until Darius presented himself as a suitable candidate. 

That likely went to show how little the Goddess rated Faust, and it was quite fair in Darius' opinion. 

Darius put such thoughts to the side as he delved into the pathways of the element. His last progress had halted at 15% and he had spent approximately 6 days on it, or around 144 hours. 

Continuing from there, he noticed that as he went forward and eliminated more wrong paths, it became easier to progress. What contributed the most to his development though, was the Spiritual Senses that came with high Luck. 

In fact, even if he and Miranda could simulate paths, it was his Spiritual Sense that they used to verify their thoughts mostly. Without it giving Darius subtle vibes of where not to pass unless he wanted to explode his body and where to pass to succeed, this would be impossible. 

That was also why he wasn't worried that giving others Child AI to compute would make them surpass him. It would only lessen the danger to their lives and shorten the time they needed to formulate spells. 

As for finding new elements, it had always 100% relied on Luck. Without a sufficient amount of it, no one had ever found discovered one. 

Darius thought of something and paused his exploration. He then spoke to the Supreme System.
