On their way toward the world source. It was not covered by darkness anymore, their path was dominated by an ash gray light.
This light means that they are already close to the world source. While walking Tiamat also told him that this light was produced by the energy of the world source.
...
"So... this is the world source?"
He and Tiamat arrive on a place that looks like an altar, in the center there is a giant sphere rotating.
"Yes, that's right. The gatekeeper from before should have been living here for long, waiting for this world source." Tiamat said while looking at the surroundings.
"Waiting here until he died? Does that guy even have a head." He ridiculed. He still has a grudge for being tricked.
"No, of course not." Tiamat rolled her eyes, "I don't really know the reason but it should be either he is injured and needed the energy of the world source to breakthrough or he was trapped. That's why he didn't escape or can't."
"Let's stop talking about that guy... do you want this?" He looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Tiamat asked, although she knows what he is talking about. But why? she doesn't know.
"I'm talking about the world source."
"If I want it, will you really give it to me?" Now that he confirmed it himself, she was really interested on what he will answer. It had not even been a day before they meet, was he really so naive to give it to her.
'Did this man really fell for my beauty and want to give it to me? Of course not right? right?'
"No." He denied.
"Hah..." Tiamat sighed although she expected that answer, but she herself didn't notice that there was some feeling of disappoinment.
"But... sharing some of it should be fine. I can't just completely give all of it to you alright, and you're even stronger than me... so do you want to?" He stared at her
She was taken back. Although the concept of 'sharing some it' and 'not giving any' is a difference between quantity. But for her it was a whole other level kind of difference.
In this kind of world who on their rights mind would share their things with someone you just met within just a day. Maybe he has some plot going on? And some hidden reasons? She thought of it but didn't took it to heart and instead choose to ignore.
"No, I'm fine. This thing doesn't have any benefit with my current strength." Tiamat shook her head. With an inexplicable smile pasted on her face, truly enchanting.
What she said was undoubtedly a lie. It's the world source for goodness sake. Even divine coveted it, maybe only gods disdained it. But she denied! Why?! I'm afraid only she knows why herself. Was it because she was looking forward to something? Or is it?!
...
"Fill your hand with your magical power, and the moment it comes to contact with it. There should be a huge sucking force that will happen." Tiamat was guiding him on how to absorb the world source.
"Done! Next?" He asked while fully focusing on controlling his magical power. At the moment, he was experiencing the sucking force of the world source. It's as if all the magical power and energy on his body was being pulled, if left unattended he might be sucked dry.
"Do your best on resisting it's power, and slowly and envelop the whole sphere with your magical power, after that you'll know it yourself."
"Easier said than done... multitasking is very energy consuming." A lot of swear dripped from his body, resisting, controlling, enveloping, he needed to do all that three.
A lot of minutes passed, the sphere was already almost completely enveloped with his magical power. Still, he wasn't fairing any better, his body was at it's limits.
"Hah... hah... done! I can't take it any further... what's next?" He asked while panting, the sphere was already covered with his magical power.
"Simple, absorb it directly." Tiamat instructed.
"How?"
"How you say? By feeling, absorb it by feeling. The sucking force that you have contacted for this long, I'm sure you understand it a bit. This is what you call the law of devouring, although not much but you should understand it a bit by now."
"The hell? how come I don't know it, by feeling? Instinct?! I don't seem to understand it yet... Fuck! My body's already giving up." He cursed.
"Hurry, don't tell me you need my help? I think you're better than that." Tiamat tried to provoke him.
"Fuck! I can't do this... Come on I need he—." Before he could finish, Sistine's voice sounded on his head.
"Dear, I don't think you can do this yet. Let the system absorb it for you."
"Sistine?! Can the the system also do this? I don't remember having this kind of function." He asked.
"Of course, because you haven't had encountered anything to absorb all this while so of course you don't know... and this kind of thing is related to a law, the law of devouring to be precise. Usually, only Immortals could do what Tia told you to do. It must be because you shocked Tia before, so she think a Celestial like you can do what an immortal can. In other words, she overestimated you.
"Fuck! This maid needs a beating!" He cursed his luck on acting so domineering in front of her.
[Absorb World Source, Yes | No ]
An interface appeared in front of him, he quickly pressed Yes.
Shush! Shwoosh!
An overbearing sucking force came out from his body, it was even many times the force of what the world source could do.
"Yes, that's it. I know you could do it, and you already mastered this much already. It was much as I expected it to be" Tiamat eyes brightened.
'Like hell it is, if not for the system I would be sucked dry by now.' He cursed in his mind hearing Tiamat's praise.
It didn't take long before the world source ceased it's existence, and was completely absorb by his body.
Overwhelming and chaotic magical power could be felt inside his body.
Boom! Boom!
In just a couple of minutes he broke through several levels.
Magical power filled the air. After an hour or so, the magical power in his body calmed down.
"This strength... what's my realm right now? Sistine?" He asked while clenching his hands feeling his new realm.
"Yes... here." Sistine said happily. She was also happy for him
