In the center of the Napier family household, four people were in the middle chatting amiably while one person was outcasted to the corner of the room. The outcast was Lawrence who after inviting Johnny into the house, was immediately duct-taped down to a chair, while the rest of his family began talking with a now the young Storm. The Suzanne knew that if she didn't work quick enough another one of her friends would have been traumatized, thus she efficiently stalked and tied up her big brother with the secure duct tape as if she was a professional kidnapper. Whilst she did that, both Lissandra and Wallace watched from the side with ill-disguised amusement.
Johnny was an enthusiastic and shy little boy, who before becoming friends with Suzanne was a bit of a recluse. This was a far cry from his future playboy self, but with his only living family member being his big sister, he currently just a shy, and socially awkward little boy. His big sister Susan had dropped him off in front of their house before she left to university herself.
While he was speaking amicably with both Lissandra and Wallace, on his neck was a constant stream of sweat because he could feel that the longer, he remained the closer he was coming to death. Lawrence while still tied up, was staring daggers at Johnny's back while softly thrashing side-to-side trying to free himself from his restraints.
'Maybe I shouldn't have taught her how to efficiently disarm and tie up people' Lawrence thought while trying his best to break out of the duct tape. She had even covered his mouth with a small piece of talk preventing him from yelling.
An hour quickly passed, and Lawrence was slowly but surely breaking out of his bindings while a dark aura began surrounding him. In his eyes gleamed with excitement as the tape began giving in, but right before he could break out Suzanne quickly pulled Johnny out of the door while yelling that they were going to school.
The door quickly shut before Lisandra and Wallace turned to Lawrence while smiling.
"You can get out now Law, you don't have to act anymore," Wallace said while walking to the kitchen and picking up his briefcase. The dark aura surrounding him was immediately dispersed, he quickly broke out and stood up.
"I have to say, your plans in interrogating her friends are ridiculously clever," Lissandra said while rubbing his head.
"It's the easiest way to get an honest opinion about them. First, scare them silly, then give them an outlet for their emotions, while constantly keeping the pressure on them. It was a perfect way to determine if they were trying to be Suzanne's friend or if they were using her for something. Lawrence was paranoid and proud.
'She still has much to learn when ducting taping a person up' Lawrence thought while smiling happily at his disciple's work.
"Okay, we have to leave now Law, are you sure you're okay staying at home alone. I know you're as mature as an adult, but you're still an 8-year-old kid" Lissandra asked in a worried tone.
"I'm sure mom, please just trust me I'll be fine. You've seen that I can take care of myself, plus I'm already a high school graduate who is going to go to university soon. I need to learn to take care of myself, so please trust me I'll be fine" Lawrence said while hugging the worried mother.
"We know you can take care of yourself Law, it's just something that parents always feel when they're not with their children," Wallace said while patting the boy's head.
A few more minutes of farewells went by before the two parents finally left the Lawrence to his own devices. With them gone he immediately went to work going to his room and locking the door. He only had a few hours before they came back so he immediately sat down to begin his first cultivation session.
He first cleared a large space in his room, by shoving things out of the way creating a small space around him. He then stood still, with his world ring appearing onto his middle finger and he started to draw energy from it while going through the motions needed for performing the technique.
He was currently in the houtian stage, which was the stage where all mortals are born. They had a lifespan of 100 years and had a maximum of around 300 to 800 pounds depending on their body mass. While in the houtian stage, they were just normal people, but as soon as they broke through to the xiantian and further stages they would gain extraordinary powers that no normal mortal could go against. To do this normal cultivator's drew in the worlds elemental essence that matched their cultivation techniques and used it to change their very beings ascending to the level of higher lifeforms.
Law was unique in that his cultivation technique drew in all energy and changed it into the 13 different types of elemental essence which corresponded with the 13 heavenly Daos.
Each universe had a set of heavenly Laws which allow for the creation and existence of any universe. It was considered impossible to cultivate a full set because as soon as a person began cultivating one, it would immediately start opposing certain elements blocking the cultivation of those elements. Instead of just cultivating one Heavenly Law and then moving on to another Law, Law would instead have to cultivate all the heavenly laws from the very beginning.
This would have been impossible for Law to comprehend 13 different heavenly daos if not for his wish. The current 13 heavenly daos for this marvel universe were the heavenly daos of water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, metal, space, time, yin, yang, creation, destruction and finally chaos the progenitor.
By cultivating all those daos to the highest levels, he would effectively be unkillable and invincible in his universe. The best part of this was that when he reached a high enough cultivation stage and needed to create his dao, the 13 different heavenly daos would empower his own.
While his mind was fully focused on comprehending his technique, his body was going through a weird ritualistic war dance while an ancient aura began wafting off his body.
The aura immediately drew the attention of the strongest cosmic entities. Although they immediately wanted to act, they were forced back by the warning of a being that was much greater than them.
As he finished his ritualistic dance, he sat down in a lotus position and stayed as still as possible while continuing to cultivate.
As Law sat meditating his shirt started to turn to dust starting from his back until it was completed destroyed revealing his upper-body. Usually when practicing a fiendgod body refining technique after understanding the various intricacies of the technique user's potential in the technique is shown by a divine tattoo formed on the user during the start of utilizing the technique.
On his back, a runic circle slowing started inscribing itself on his back with flowing intricate flowing lines and ancient domineering symbols.
The basis of Law's technique was giving the user an all-encompassing resistance to 12 elements as well as the ability to utilize some of these elements. The runic circle behind his back was made of 4 circles forming layers with less runic symbols in each layer.
In the outer layer, there were runic symbols representing Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, and Metal. One-layer deeper symbols are representing Yin, Yang, Space, and Time. In the second most inner layer, there were two symbols representing Creation and Destruction. And finally, in the center of the Giant runic circle, there was only one indescribable symbol representing Chaos from which all was created. By converting the elements into their purest forms Law would gain access to well above that of 100 average world gods while also gaining resistance against the elements.
The forming of the 4 circles and symbols revealed that Law had a perfect affinity with the fiendgod body cultivation path. But this result was to be expected due to having a perfect cultivation body due to his soul technique that constantly removing any impurities that his body gained as time passed.
As Law finished cultivating his technique the runic circle slowly faded into his back becoming invisible. Although Law wouldn't be gaining any mystical powers, yet he did gain the strength of an average adult and a slight resistance to the 6 elements in the outermost layer.
As he stood up finishing his first session, he immediately released a large shock wave of power. The shock wave was strong enough to scatter and break most of his items, but lucky the room contained the release.
"Fuck yeah" Lawrence yelled, only to hear a large thud as he bedroom door fell off its hinges drawing his attention.
'I'm going to be so screwed' Law thought while looking around his room. All his books were scattered, and the bed was pushed a good 3 feet away from him, damaging most of his furniture. The rest of his room was almost in a state of disrepair while his walls suffered large cracks, and his windows gaining a webbed pattern.
"Maybe I can just hide this somehow. I should still have enough time" Law said out loud while hoping that his parents weren't arriving home yet. As soon as he said that he heard the front door opening.
"Law we're home. Where are you?" Lissandra said while holding Suzanne's hand, while Wallace stood behind them. Lissandra and Wallace had decided to go home early to check on Lawrence and had decided to pick up Suzanne on the way back.
'Has it already been 8 hours. Goddammit Truth, somehow I know this is your fault' Lawrence thought while walking towards his doom.
In a galaxy far far away, was a pure white being with a black background laughing at a tv screen in its living room.
