Chapter 703: New Cosmic Power
Chapter 703: New Cosmic Power
—–
Without realizing it, I had discovered a new Fragment of Power, which was part of the power my own father had sealed from me when I was a child, apparently a part of it was fragmented and broken into glass-like pieces, and when I awakened my System, they dispersed through the "connected worlds" due to their fear to my own powers and that they would die if I absorbed them, which wasn't really true, although I have completely absorbed their consciousness, so I guess that could be said to be like "dying" to them, but they always belonged to me anyway, so I don't really feel any remorse…
I had decided to absorb the fragment of power I had acquired from Yggdrasil, which gave me quite the hard fight there with the endless plant army, and then I saw several system messages popping up. It seems that I had acquired a wondrous amount of bonuses, and… this power went directly into my arm… Wait, what?
Ding!

[Cosmic Fragment of Power: Left Spirit Arm]
The Spiritual Left Arm composed of a large quantity of Cosmic Power, as it is only a part of the power, it had concentrated into the user's left arm and can gather spiritual energy from the environment. It grants affinity with spirits, especially the spirits of the cosmos that are everywhere, and can channel the power of the cosmic energy of the world to unleash all sorts of powerful spells. This Left Arm was incredible durability and can regenerate automatically even if damaged or cut down. It can shapeshift and also extend around, and possess great power that can be further enhanced by channeling cosmic energy and divine energy into it.

And there it was, the description, it left me quite speechless to see it, it had various effects and was overall pretty amazing. Have I ever seen something so great before? I think no Skill can do so many things as this, and even the description seems vague based in everything my mind just learned that it can do now with this arm… The sad thing is that I cannot expand this power to the other parts of my body.
With this, I had gained an amazing new tool to use in battle and in other things as well. This slightly fascinated me, as I believe that if I could collect the other fragments, they would all become some sort of piece for my body, and I would slowly build myself as a copy of Exodia… Wait, is that it? Am I such a mythical being right now…?
What could happen if I collected them all? Would I completely become a cosmic man? If I put such a logic, then I need the other arm, the chest, the head, and the other legs? Perhaps the hips? Hm, what else? I think those are all the basic ones… So that makes roughly… five or six more fragments? Then that's just six more worlds at most that I must visit before getting there… Well, that's going to be a bit of a pain, but I will try to hurry up with the gathering. At least I know there is at least one fragment in Gaia…
And now that I look into my arm, I feel the energies of the cosmos gather around it. The ski suddenly becomes translucent, as it glows with bright blue color, with many shiny stars brilliantly sparkling within… And without realizing it, my hand had turned into something that could be said to be "cosmic". The feeling of power I felt was overwhelming, it felt as if my arm got incredibly heavy as well. However, I could move it just fine.
I think I should test it out quickly and do something awesome with it, but what could I do? I ponder that for a few seconds, as I glare into the distance, there is a big mountain there that was formed naturally, I think it has some natural ores inside, but that's not really valuable for me, so blasting it shouldn't hurt me financially nor decrease my attribute particles because it doesn't give me any. Although the prospects of such power excited me a bit, what really excited me more was trying this new arm right away. So, I quickly pointed out my hand into the nearest mountain, suddenly channeling energies into it and then decided to unleash a small attack!
FLAAASH!
BOOOOMMM!!!
A sudden beam of cosmic power came out of my arm, reaching the mountain and exploding. The powerful explosion left the entire mountain filled with cracks, which quickly began to crack, the mountain slowly started to fall apart into pieces, until only the base was left, and giant boulders dispersed all around as well, it even made a small tremor… I guess that was a small attack?
Oh, although I feel pretty drained from it. I think it drained a good chunk of my divine energy… But the attack was incredibly lethal, I wonder how strong it would be if I decided to actually go serious with it? And even more, I seem to be able to manipulate what's called cosmic energy, which is coming from my arm as I think about it, this energy allows for many things, and it seems to also be like the pillar of the entire Universe. It can both destroy and reconstruct matter… Of course, it is limited to my own current power, so it is not as absolute.
Nonetheless, it is very strong and could quite possibly work for something greater. I could even apply it to my magic and other skills, or maybe even infuse it into my allies or friends? Thinking about it only makes me feel more excited about the future ahead… Although there will be many dangers as well. I have to prepare.
