[Beep! Upgrade complete!]
the A.I. Chip's voice sounded at this moment. With Leylin's own soul advancing into the divine, the A.I. Chip had also reaped unknown rewards. It began the tedious work of updating Leylin's hugely changed stats after resumed operation.
[Beep! The host has ignited his Godfire, becoming a demigod. All stats +5.]
[The host's Arcanist Rank has risen. Now rank 28.]
[Beep! The host's stats have all reached 20 points. Intermediate Perfect Body has advanced with the bonus of becoming a Demigod and is now Divine Body.]
[Beep! The secondary system has been upgraded, computational power increased. Analysis of levels 8 and 9 of the Weave are at 100%. The host has obtained all spell models and will no longer forget any spells. No materials are required to cast spells.]
This was evidently the boost the Godfire had given to his stats. However, even Leylin himself found the extent of the increase terrifying because of the restrictive laws of the World of Gods; it was very difficult to increase one's stats.
Once they reached a threshold, each point would grow more and more challenging to attain and, at the same time, increase one's might greatly.
This stat increase of 7 points each wasn't small at all.
It was a massive increase in his power; it was an increase in his raw power more than ten times.
[Beep! The host's stats and data have changed greatly. Recalculating…]
Almost at the instant, this prompt showed, the A.I. Chip showed his stats on a screen.
[Leylin Faulen. Race: Human (Demigod), Rank 28 Arcanist (Legendary). Strength: 23. Agility: 23. Vitality: 23. Spirit: 29. Arcane Energy: 290. Divine Force: ??? Status: Healthy. Feats: Legendary Sturdiness, Well-Versed, Dreamscape Vision, Extreme Adaptability, Divine Body. Specialties: Origin Force Detection, Arcane Amplification, Illusions.]
[The outer Weave has been analyzed completely. Beginning analysis of the inner Weave.]
He read the analysis of the A.I. Chip and afterward, he turned his attention back to the battlefield. Right now, after ascending to the Demigod, he was powerful enough to deal with four of them at the same time.
"He's out!"
Once the tidal surge of forces died out, Akaban looked solemnly at the figure that emerged.
Now even the previously confident Demigod was looking at Leylin with wariness because he could sense the overwhelming power that his body contained. It was something that no newly advanced Demigod should have.
Leylin was giving a very oppressive feeling to four Demigods that looked at him with a mixture of jealousy and fear. Especially the Two-Headed Lion, the Golden Scorpion, and the Blazing Horse because these Demigods were acting more on their instincts.
Thus when they sensed Leylin's aura, they felt fear and their instincts were telling them to escape this place as far as possible. Unfortunately for them, the Pyramid of Light was blocking them perfectly and the leader Demigod Akaban was pretty much reluctant.
Deep inside, Akaban was still confident enough that they could overwhelm him with a number, if nothing else and he was ready to sacrifice for that reason, the three other Demigods.
For him, the Two-Headed Lion, the Golden Scorpion, and the Blazing Horse were just expendable pawns in the greater game.
"I am the Devouring Serpent, the Ruler of Massacres, God of Devouring, Bloodlines and Serpents, Monarch of Devils; I am the Heavenly Serpent God Nāgarāja."
Divine Force streaked past Leylin's eyes. Now that he was Demigod, it was time to test his newly found power and he decided that the four Demigods would be his first test subjects...
In a split of a second the Divine Force congealed into the phantom image of Nāgarāja, which was holding four swords in his four hands and ready to pounce at his opponents.
"Almighty lord, you are the savior of my soul, the salvation of the mortal world…"
Many clerics found after a prayer now that multiple divine spells were inside their bodies.
They were like normal magic spells and could be cast if they were willed. The holy spells were extremely effective at shocking the natives. No matter what plans Akaban had made, they'd now failed completely.
The numerous cheers and the tidal surge of Faith formed an astonishing current beside Leylin. He was tethering the Faith of the Natives at a tremendous speed as invisible power surged out from the phantom of Nāgarāja.
Even the most foolish would realize that the Heavenly Serpent God Nāgarāja had advanced and grown stronger. They immediately cheered. The large group of priests felt like they'd gotten power that could suppress everything.
"Domain! Not good! Destroy the Pyramid of Light with all you got; we need to escape!"
Akaban shouted with despair at the other three Demigods because he realized that he had lost and lost entirely without even the slightest victory. He even unknowingly helped his greatest enemy to get stronger and become a Demigod.
At his order, the other three Demigods started furiously attacking the Pyramid of Light, but it was futile. Leylin wasn't stupid and he prepared for this scenario and even had several backup plans that would keep the Pyramid of Light standing.
"First, you taint my domain; then you want to leave? Isn't it too late for that?"
The Massacre Domain and Devouring Domain stretched out, covering the entire sky in crimson. It had already been strong, but Leylin's advancement had maximized its potential.
"It doesn't work that way... you need to remain and become my food... my dear Demigods."
These words sounded like a song of legends and the decree of a curse.
Leylin instantly appeared before the Two-Headed Lion. With his bare hand, he tore through the body of the Two-Headed Lion Demigod in a split second, tearing out his heart as the Devouring Domain assimilated everything that remained from its body.
[Beep! The user has assimilated the Demigod Being Two-Headed Lion.]
[Beep! The user's stats have been increased by +1 each.]
[Beep! Divine Force has been replenished and increased.]
[Beep! Divine Force has been replenished and increased.]
[Beep! Divine Force has been replenished and increased.]
Leylin breathed in satisfaction as he got stronger a bit after killing the Two-Headed Lion Demigod and seeing the Golden Scorpion Demigod and Blazing Horse Demigod backing in fear from him.
