Chapter 1015 Reason of Power
The days after his battle with the Volcano God and the Primal were confusing, to say the least. First of all, the damage caused by the battle was not without aftermath. The aftermath was much more severe than one may think at first glance. The Volcano God might have eradicated an entire planetary system, destroying all lifeforms in the system, but it was the Primal who tore the fabric of space apart.
If it was only that, the issues wouldn’t be as severe as they are right now. The fabric of space and reality had been torn apart, but it would mend itself…if the Primal hadn’t unleashed a massive typhoon of Essence to leave the encirclement of more than one hundred Gods. The amount of Essence released into the planetary system damaged the fissures and damaged them enough to transform a total of six fissures in the fabric of space and reality into Torn Firmaments.
Almost a third of the planetary system was now covered in lines of Torn Firmament, which expanded, forcing the Hyuman Gods to intervene…if they could afford to endanger their lives. The Hyuman Gods were not allowed to join the cosmic playground just like no other Gods were allowed to do so, yet that was what they had already done by allowing the Volcano God to attack Michael.
Michael was unsure if the Primal would punish the Supreme Human Alliance for their actions, but he could tell the Primal would act the moment a dozen Hyuman Gods – Michael didn’t know exactly how many Gods the Supreme Human Alliance had given birth to since its creation – to fix the Torn Firmament.
That being said, the Hyuman Gods could either endanger their lives to fix the Torn Firmament, or the Demi Gods all over the Supreme Human Alliance would have to act. After all, the Torn Firmament was too damaged and would expand. Sooner rather than later, it would reach other planetary systems and tear them apart. That being said, the Supreme Human Alliance didn’t want the Torn Firmament to reach the other planetary systems since Michael had fought the God and the Primal in the inner region of their territory. No matter where the Torn Firmament expanded, it would inflict tremendous damage to the core of the Supreme Human Alliance. Michael was unsure how many Demi Gods were needed to fix the Torn Firmament. All he knew was how easy it would be for him to fix it. But that was not what he wanted. He hoped the Supreme Human Alliance would deploy their Demi Gods – too afraid to use their Gods after losing the Volcano God to the Primal – to fix the Torn Firmament. It wouldn’t take eons to fix the Torn Firmament but while the Demi Gods would be pulled back from the front lines, the Altors Union, the Divine Subordinates, and Michael’s Super Awakened could attack their frontlines and conquer a bunch of planetary systems and maybe even more than that. There were also other organizations fighting the Supreme Human Alliance. They would probably unleash their fury upon the SHA upon realizing their lack of defenses. Michael was curious about the Supreme Human Alliance’s course of action, but he didn’t stay behind to watch it happen. He returned to the Origin Expanse for a few hours to spread his order and tell everyone what they had to know to nourish the Untamed Jungle and aid its expansion while also inflicting as much damage as possible to the Supreme Human Alliance in the cosmos. In the meantime, Michael would travel to the Origin Expanse, and his fight with the Supreme Human Alliance would be postponed for a while.
He had attracted the interest of the Primal and would have to focus on growing stronger to survive against the forces of the Primal and deal with them in the future. Survival was his highest priority, but that wasn’t enough. Michael wanted more. He hoped to defeat the Primal in the future or force them to concessions. Maybe he could grow strong enough to make a compromise. But that was still a thing for the future. For now, Michael had to grow stronger. That’s why he went with the Gods.
He traveled with Loki after returning from the Origin Expanse. The God and father of many powerful beings was pleasant to be around. He reminded him of the God Curse siblings, though his attitude was better.
“Jormungandr showed us your fight with the Volcano God and how you managed to fight the Pseudo God with the Divinities that have formed in your Soul Sphere. We saw everything up to the point where you asked my children for their help. You fought well,” Loki commended Michael, but his expression remained serious without indicating any praise, “But what do you think was the reason for that? What do you think pushed your power level beyond your Tier? What allowed you to fight Gods as an 8th Tier Awakened?”
Michael noticed something about the way Loki spoke. It attracted his interest, but he focused on the questions instead of studying Loki.
“The two greatest advantages of my individual combat prowess are my Soultraits and the Divinities in my Soul Sphere. That being said, my Soul Sphere is my greatest advantage. Each Soultrait has permanently enhanced my body, mind, and soul, pushing my combat prowess to a higher level than the average Divine Lifeform at the 8th Tier. But that is not all. My Soultraits are all unique and very powerful. I can unleash a wide range of attacks and defenses and do things most can only dream of.” He tilted his head lightly while looking at Loki, who nodded slowly.
“My Divinities are similar, just more pronounced. They enhance my entire being drastically. With every fraction of growth, I grow stronger as well. I can tap into the power of my Divinities, but I also grow stronger in terms of physical prowess, the potency of my soul, and mental fortitude by nourishing and using my Divinities as often as possible.”
Loki smiled and agreed with Michael, but not in the way he expected.
“I agree that your Soultraits and Divinities are extraordinary, and I consider your Soul Sphere to be your greatest strength. However, there is more to your Soul Sphere than your Soultraits and Divinities!” Loki declared nonchalantly.
“Do you mean the Aether bound to my Soul Sphere? I noticed the Pure Aether gaining in strength as my Soul Sphere expanded. The growth of every single Soultrait and every fraction of my Divinities’ growth pushed my Aether to new strength.”
Loki didn’t seem content with his answer.
“That is not wrong. Your Pure Aether is stronger than the norm and it will keep growing as your Soultraits reach 10-Star, as your new Soultraits will grow, and when your Divinities expand. Slowly, the Nature Divinity will also travel to your Soul Sphere, further nourishing the Pure Aether. Don’t be worried about the Nature Heart. It shouldn’t disappear as it is an affliction of the Divinity imprinted in your being.”
“But the Aether is not what you are talking about. You think something else allows me to be stronger than the rest. No. From the way you look at me, something in the Soul Sphere is helping me grow strong and maybe even be stronger than the average God, but it shouldn’t be something as obvious as the Divinities and Soultrait Symbols,” Michael murmured, trying to figure out what Loki was talking about.
He tilted his head and thought about it for a while until he realized something Hiraku had mentioned a while ago. It was also something related to the comments of the God Curses.
“Are you talking about my Lord Powers and the Soul Power I accumulate as a Lord in the Origin Expanse?” Loki grinned, and his smile widened as understanding dawned on Michael.
“Gods may not lose their connection to the Origin Expanse right away, but most civilizations of beings forced to leave the Origin Expanse cease to exist over the course of time. Gods, among some other creatures, will be expelled from the Will and will never be allowed to return. That means, I am an Awakened with the power of a God, yet the Will of the Origin Expanse didn’t expel me. I have more than a dozen 19-Star Soultraits, and the biggest region under my control will soon advance to an Ancient Region. Every Link of Loyalty with a citizen of the Ancient Region will empower me greatly, thus further pushing my individual prowess to a higher level.”
Michael swallowed.
“My Soul Power will increase immensely, and so will my power.”
Loki gave Michael a thumbs up, “Bingo. Your connection to the Origin Expanse is what allowed you to fight the Volcano God head-on. The Divinities are great and all, but you wouldn’t be able to use them or endure the power of the Divinities if not for the shocking – truly shocking if you were to ask me or any other GOd – number of powerful Soultraits in your possession. But possessing this many Soultraits alone isn’t enough. Each of them has to be nourished by as much Soul Power as possible to become truly undefeatable.”
“The more Soul Power the Soultrait Symbols accumulate, the stronger the Soultraits when I use them. And, the more Soul Techniques and Soullife Arts I can unleash.” “Mastering your Soultraits will be very important during your training with the Gods. You will have to attain perfect mastery of all of your Soultrait Symbols, acquire more Perfect Soul Techniques, create Perfect Soullife Arts for every Soultrait, and upgrade your Soultraits to 10-Star altogether if possible. I don’t think you should acquire more Soultraits for the time being but focus on strengthening the existing ones.
Also, you should never forget your advantage as a Lord of the Origin Expanse. You MUST acquire more regions and expand the population in your territories as high as possible without affecting their quality of life. It would be even better if your subjects prayed to you as their god. The more devout they are, the better. That being said, using your Divinities in the Origin Expanse will help you with each of those tasks.”
Once Michael attained godhood, he would lose the Origin Expanse. At least the Runic Gate wouldn’t open to him anymore. Thus, as a 8th Tier Awakened with the power of Gods, Michael might actually be the best person to train and prepare against the Primal.
That being said, Michael was unsure what to think about transforming his subjects into devout believers. Was he willing to transform himself into a God in the eyes of his subjects? There wasn’t really a major problem with that, per se, but Michael would have to understand that he could never return to being an ordinary Lord once he started to become his people’s ‘God’. Was the effort worth the result, or would the attempt to become his people’s God backfire? Michael was unsure about that, but the God Curses calmed him down.
[I don’t think your subjects could be more loyal to you. Their Links of Loyalty reward you with much more Soul Power than we have anticipated in the first place. The difference between devout believers and dead-loyal subjects is not that extensive. You do not have to change. In fact, changing yourself may harm you and the relationship with your subjects more than it will help.] Hel commented, which Loki heard as well.
“As long as you expand your territory, create more Aether, and increase your Tier, you will be fine. The rest depends on the success of your training with the Gods.” Loki said with a smile.
If Michael wanted to stay Awakened in the Origin Expanse and abuse his benefits as a Lord, Michael would never be allowed to reach the 10th Tier. However, given that he was already as strong as Gods and that the Origin Expanse still didn’t consider him as a “proper God”, Michael could probably advance to the Peak of the 9th Tier without any issues as well.
That being said, Michael slowly started using Void Ingots with Permute to fill his Energy Vortex.
After that, the real training with the Gods – the Rebels of the vast universe – began.freewebnσvel.cm
