Chapter 1534 Training Time
—–
Once all things were addressed, we finished our large meal, which ended being both breakfast and lunch with a slightly bittersweet atmosphere. Learning that another world very close to ours was going through so much tragedy kind of made us all a bit sad in a way. Maybe we all have a bit of empathy on us, or perhaps because it was where Yuki’s soul originated from, but whatever the case, it took us a while to get back to where we were before.
Nonetheless, now that the battles were over for the moment, and we had a month to prepare for the Flame Venerable’s Inheritance to Open for all of us to run inside, we could relax and grow stronger as much as we could. To fight a monster like Pandemonium we’ll need much more strength than we could ever imagine, and also even better gear.
Now that I can control Demonic Energy to an extent, I’ve been thinking on making demonic weapons or armor, modify them so they can resist demonic energy attacks better, and also that could deal extra damage to Demons too. But the key at the end of the day was to eat Demon Meat in cooked dishes using my powerful Divinity of Cooking and the Divine Cooking Arts, which will increase our resistance against demon-attribute damage and also lower the damage that demonic energy deals on the body, making it more resistant to its harmful effects.
With the maximum time dilation of my divine realm, it should be possible to get at least three months out of that single one, if not four. I had trained Surtr intensively before in just a week, so we can get this done easily in three months, right? And also, I need to train Emerald. He had grown stronger and gotten a better grasp at his powers, but that’s nowhere near enough to fight Pandemonium or that shadow guy, whom I’m beginning to think might be one of Greenwood/Oberon’s Soul Clones.
But even with all the army of powerful allies we have, I still feel like its just not enough against Pandemonium’s Demonic Army. If only we could have Alma, Root, and the rest of that group with us, things might be slightly more easily. Or also Sapphire, Rose, and Coral, they were very strong too. But I just can’t bother them like this. These people have their own lives. Dragging them into our own problems is not my thing.
We’ll have to just do with what we have, and I’ll have to personally help everyone break through until they can find more power out of their talents and affinities, even if it takes me days, weeks, or months. We decided to rest for the next day, before everyone was invited back to my Divine Realm, where we would stay the next (outside time) month.
“I’ve already made up my mind. Growing stronger myself won’t do it. The Demon Army is always bigger and stronger, I can’t just fight the big boss while handling the demons. So I need as much help as possible, and you know it, right?” I asked my friends.
Everyone had gathered here, Kraxka, Larzak, Hector, Charlotte, Yuki, Tisha, Pekora, Rakasha, Ruby and her mother with their Vampires, Benladann, Miranda, Benladra, Kate, Jamar, Leona, Agni, Surtr, Nadia, Mina, Tyrannus and his warriors, Amehia and Emerald. The Fox Venerable and the Frost Queen were also present, alongside Fuyu overseeing everything. Although I was also going to help them grow stronger, the pair of Venerable were the ones that would teach them, analyze their abilities, and give the clues as to how “Awaken” their divinities even further.
“I’ve gathered all of you here for a simple motive, we need to get stronger. Fighting and earning battle experience is good, but that won’t get us too far either. We have to first learn to understand our abilities to the very core, Awaken them, and then Evolve them to fill in more niches and to transform and shape into different powers.” I explained. “By now, all of you must at least have a Divinity, right? Tisha, what do you think a Divinity do?”
“Huh? Me?” Tisha pointed at herself. “Well… I think they give us some power boost? Like we can use it to defend against other divinities and… Enhance our Physical Power and Elemental Strength, right?”
“Correct, but also incorrect.” I said, looking at the Frost Queen.
“I know you must think like that because that’s the basic effect Divinities have.” The Frost Queen smiled at Tisha. “However, Divinities are not just power boosts, they’re not just to make your element stronger. They’re an embodiment of your understanding of these elements. They’re the enlightenment you’ve earned as you wielded it. It is not just a boost, you see it as an equipment, but Divinities are in constant change. They will become stronger or even weaker depending in how you understand them. Boosting elemental power is the most basic function a Divinity possess. However…” She suddenly generated a floating ice cube.
The ice cube began changing shape, growing into a needle and then a shield, a sword, a spear, an axe, and so on.
“It can be shaped into many forms; Divinities are moldable and can shapeshift based in what you need of them. Likewise, because you use them just to boost everything, you’re wasting their full potential by making them do everything. You need to specialize you divinities into doing specific tasks, which will exceed at to an incredible level.” She explained. “Eventually, what gives you a lot of defense, attack, speed, and magic power to just be an average Rank 9 God, could be shaped to only give you defense to become tough enough to take on Rank 10 blows with ease, or all into offense to be able to pierce through foes with even larger defenses, such as Demons, more easily than ever before.” As she explained, the ice transformed into a bird, flying into the skies. “W-What? Is that even possible?!” Tisha asked while gasping. “Can it do more and also, specialize?”
“Yes! We’re here to teach you, Drake begged us to help, so we’ll do what we can.” The Frost Queen smiled gently. “Take into consideration, however… That I am not as gentle as I am being right now when I train my disciples. Be prepared.”
