'Sigh, I don't know much. It's just when I disconnected the village here from the heart of this technology, I felt that presence. 

It was like watching me doing this, as I felt its anger and sensed its retaliation intentions. So, I guess your village will be under attack soon.'

Ibro didn't care about this threat, as he had endless armies of skeletons in his possession. What worried him was the fact that this universe was under the control of something else. 

That was dangerous, as it would jeopardize his entire plan. Ibro then asked trying to confirm his guess:

'Is this thing related to demons?'

The system didn't reply at once, as it took some time before replying:

'I think it's more similar to the fiends than demons.'

'That's what I feared,' Ibro muttered to himself as this was the worst idea that came into his mind.

'Do you know that fiend?'

Ibro sighed as he said:

'Yes, and you too know it, it's Domil. We need to get rid of it before it opens the gate of this universe to the incoming demon army. That's why that fiend was so full of himself when he tried to threaten me. 

They already controlled this technology's heart so they had the upper hand here. That's bad, by the way, what do you mean by the soul of this technology? Is it like the soul of the systems?'

'Yes. It's also similar in the conditions of choosing a soul to them. I mean by that every heart of any given universe out there, and not only this universe.'

'Aha, then tell me if we kill this fiend, would this universe be destroyed?'

'No, the heart of any universe has a fixed nature and a set of rules. When the soul dies, this universe will continue to work normally following these rules.'

Ibro didn't understand as he asked:

'If so, then what is the purpose of the soul then?'

'Well, it's complicated, but let's say they have a task to do, and by their deaths, this task will be lost.'

Ibro tried to guess the nature of this task, but the system added:

'Don't bother yourself with this right now; you will know everything in the future. Now, you should prepare for the upcoming battle. I believe this Domil will start to act soon.'

Ibro sighed helplessly, as he had no time to be wasted on things like these, so he said:

'I don't plan to resist.'

'What? Are you going to withdraw from this village? That's insane!'

'Listen to me first; I want you to move this village into one of my two peaceful worlds. Also move some of Maya's cultivators to be responsible for guiding the new villagers in their beginnings.'

'Oh, you want to avoid this battle then.'

'Yes, fighting a war with no gain and a lot of losses is stupid. I need now to focus on gaining more villagers under my control as fast as possible, and I have an additional task too. This heart must be purified before I obtain it.'

'Ok, I will move to your village now.'

'Don't forget to move all of my skeletons from here, too. I will need their aid somewhere else soon. You told me there is good news, what is this good news then?'

The whole village disappeared like it didn't even exist here leaving Ibro standing alone on a bare wide area of land. 

Ibro noticed the approach of the demons from everywhere, so he flew up and started to move away from here while his system replied:

'Your village turned into an alpha village.'

Ibro didn't get the system meaning, so the system added:

'That means your village can't only develop villagers, it can also develop villages. You need to spend some energy to do so, but this is good news.'

Ibro smiled as he pictured the future of his worlds and the countless number of villages that spanned over there. What he anticipated was the probability of other villages to be like this one. 

If so, then he would have gained it big this time. Ibro moved with great spirit looking for his next target. This world was huge and there were demons everywhere. 

Ibro noticed that the place of his village was swarmed in less than half an hour with a flood of demons from everywhere. He snorted as his enemy thought he would be stupid and stay there waiting for this attack. 

Ibro took a few hours until he spotted another village. Searching for these villages was easy, as they were surrounded by a huge number of demon gates, but it was also time-consuming. 

So, before Ibro attacked this village, he summoned a few times his search units, the frost bony dragons. He gave them the task of hovering over the whole world and searching for any villages. 

If they found any, they would return to his world via the teleportation portal and then try to contact him through his space world. After he finished with his arrangements, Ibro started to target this village. 

This time, he didn't hold back from the beginning, as he went directly towards the heart of this village as he instructed his system:

'Use the demon energy to resupply my soul sea energy and start moving these gates into my worlds. activate the seal function too, and move these clowns away from the manor.'

'I can't change the nature of the village heart while doing all this.'

'Don't worry, I will wait for you to finish.'

Ibro stood above the lord's manor as his system activated his seal function and moved all the demons who stood in guard away. 

The system then started to move the demon gates at a high pace. In less than two hours, the whole area around the village was emptied from any gate.

'Are you now ready to shift the ownership of this village and move it into my world?'

'…'

What happened next was simple, as Ibro descended and entered the lord's manor where he found the village heart easily. 

After that, his system changed the nature of this heart as it turned it into a cultivation based village. Once it finished, it warned Ibro again:

'You are lucky again; this village is an alpha village too. That fiend is really pissed off right now, I won't be surprised if it moved by itself and came here now.'

Ibro laughed while saying:

'That's good; I want to make it even angrier. Move the village now and put it into my world, we need to leave here now and continue hunting.'

'…'
