Chapter 762 The Awakening Of A [God]!
Chapter 762 The Awakening Of A [God]!
—–[God], a Unique Skill that Drake had acquired in the beginning of his journey in another world. As he had died in a pathetic way, when he saw how every thought or wish he had was becoming something like a “Skill” he quickly began to play with it, and ultimately, wished for insane things that nobody else that had reincarnated here had wished for, having a System, and becoming a God.
His wishes, through the powers of his own soul energy being transferred into another world with magic, converted into power that was directly infused into his own soul. However, because he was not in the body of a god when he reincarnated, the power of [God] could not be used yet. His body would turn into ashes or be destroyed if he tried, and even as he grew stronger, the Unique Skill remained sealed by the System.
The System had once told him that if it wasn’t because of the System itself automatically sealing [God] he would had died right away after being born. Thankfully that didn’t ended being the case, so he was alright. However, no matter how strong he grew, the power of [God] could not be unlocked yet.
Until now, when a wondrous message he never thought he would ever see showed up in front of him… it was mesmerizing. To think that he had to bathe in literal divine flames that could consume anything to partially unlock the effects of his Unique Skill!
”What?!” Drake couldn’t help but feel very shocked as he saw this message, even the System herself was surprised. But apparently, [God] Lifting Conditions had been partially met.
The conditions were all lifted, actually. His body had grown strong enough to resist the damage of the divine flames which were made of Divine Power. These flames would easily turn into ashes any mortal, but Drake with his [Immortal Body] which has evolved with each of his evolutions until it acquired an insane level of self-regeneration could do it, he was able to resist the fire, agonizingly so.
Divine Enlightenment was attained through many things, and was accumulative, but he acquired a bit by completing the Inheritance of the Demon Fox Venerable of Dreams, by also drinking the elixir of souls she gave to him after he fought Black, and when he absorbed the Inheritance of the Great Demon of Dungeons.
And lastly, Absorbing Divine Power from the environment… Well, as of now, he was being engulfed by the Divine Power of these flames, so it apparently counted for it.
But the most intriguing thing was… the message after that. Something that Drake was forcing himself to truly understand in between the pain.
He somehow… could absorb Divinities? Drake wanted to ask many questions, but the System nor him were ready to find any yet as the situation as very dire! He quickly accepted and the button turned bright green.
Ding!
”What?!”
”M-My Skills?! W-Wait a second!”
Although Drake wanted to know more, he really couldn’t argue with the System’s powers now, he was about to die, he might as well sacrifice something to gain something else!
Ding!
Drake saw as countless of Skills he barely ever used began to be sacrificed one after the other, it was a gigantic list! Many of the Skills continued to be sacrificed, disappearing from his Status, and turning into enough Divine Power to let him absorb this “divinity”!
FLASH!
And finally, at long last, Drake felt it! As the tension rose within his body, the powerful flames covering him suddenly began to spiral in a certain direction, flowing directly into his chest. The divine flames were the “divinity” for some reason, and as the flames were absorbed, Drake felt an incredible warmth encompassing his entire being, and also… he heard a faint voice.
”Thank you…”
”Eh? Who is it…?”
”My name is Blaze… I am an Ancient Fire Dragon God…”
”Y-You are?”
”I was once alive, but lost in a fight against a Chaos Spirit… My body was taken over, and my soul slowly consumed…”
”T-That’s…”
”I am long dead… But the remaining part of my soul and divinity were accumulated by this parasite into an attack… which you sadly received. I don’t know how you absorbed this power… But make good use of the last bit of my will.”
”I… will.”
”Thank you, that’s all I need… If you ever go to Muspelheim, find my mother, Muspel… She’ll guide you if you’re worthy enough of wielding my power…”
Drake heard the last words of Blaze before the voice flew away.
”Muspelheim…” Drake thought, as he felt the flames were not burning anymore. In fact, they were completely gone from his body! And within the interior of his body, these flames were now flowing like an incredible power he had never felt before.
Ding!
”Eh?!”
