Chapter 161 - White Fire

"Yes! I'm finally free!"

As it devoured every little bit of sunlight, the Wraith's body shrunk back into human size, it's teeth were also considerably smaller yet their sharpness hasn't diminished a little.

Amidst his confusion, his second heart transmitted lots of information into his brain and he understood what he saw before him was a form only a few could ever see in their lives and survive to tell.

It was an evolved form of the common wraith, one that's completely assimilated into the sin force and becomes one with this energy.

Even Thomas could feel it from afar and knew how formidable it was. While still a little lower than Divinity, it's still a force to be recognized and the Gluttony's Sin Force of this level could easily devour even light attribute.

It's his fault he didn't know Arthorias had reached this degree of assimilation with the Sin Force.

Now it has evolved, it's glowing rate will only increase even further so considering it's only a king, it would take a least all the lives in the island for it to reach the emperor level.

The inner demon born from sin is now the owner of this body with sating his hunger being his only reason to exist. It will never stop now, until all has been devoured it will keep going until nothing else remains.

As for Arthorias, his existence has been forgotten and all that once belonged to him was handed to his inner demon that now wishes to eat in his instead.

The Sin Force in atmosphere is also a problem. Like a virus, it will infect the beasts and every other living being and slowly corrupting them as well.

They will never be able to become full demons or even awake the sin force since the one to infect them was an incomplete, impure sin force. Those beast would become at most wild monsters without a hint of intelligence, and in a way identical to the gray demons of lowest class.

Thomas pierced the creature with his spear, but it didn't even felt it. It's skin had grown much harder than before and normal attacks wouldn't work anymore.

It's a pity his divinity isn't that of a true divinity, otherwise it would be much more effective.

[Boy, stop holding back and blow up this thing already.](Ares)

[No matter how much I don't like agreeing to this guy, I must say he's right. Even I, a goddess known for righteousness and justice knows it's the right thing to do. It's time to free this pitiful being of his misery.] (Dike)

The deities of the system all spoke up their thoughts as they knew the young boy had been hesitant all along. They were trying to give the final push he needed, but Thomas still only gazed at the monster which devoured the elements in deep thought.

[Young Thomas, you have gone far enough already, more than all of your kind. I'm also curious to how that guy's divinity will manifest in you.] (Bonher)

Seeing even gods he had interacted with yet had spoken, Thomas understood what they meant. If only a true god's divinity can kill an Wraith that has been assimilated into the Sin Force.

"Fine, just keep an eye on my after I'm down." Thomas removed his clothes and stored back as he didn't wish to destroy his last change of clothes.

"Awake oh godly power that sleeps within me and "Standing butt naked in the eye of the sin force storm, Thomas stood still under.

All the divinity in his body retreated to the depths of his soul.

[Time Remaining: 60s]

Thump, Thump...

White fire burned at the depths then exploded towards the sky, burning all the clouds of sin force that threatened to contaminate the beasts.

Even the Wraith was suddenly scared by the appearance of the flames, but there was nothing it could do once those flames spread and formed a cage around it.

A white shadow appeared where Thomas had just been standing and was growing more and more solid.

Slowly, it assumed the form A white silhouette appeared and assumed the form of a ten thousand feet tall man dressed in a white tunic.

He had cat-like eyes that were pure eyes which had the ability to draw one's soul, elvish ears as well his body all covered in white fur and dressed in a white tunic made of the the same white fire.

Waving his hands and feeling the space itself shake at his movements made Thomas feel how strong has he's become. He also got to understand this skill didn't temporary gave him all of Prometheus' abilities, it's more like it unlocked the powers already sleeping within him.

After assimilating all of his memories and remaining force should already give him his abilities but since his body is still far from enough to handle the power it is blocked behind a wall, a seal. When needed, he can break the seal and fully unleash the powers of that deity, at least until he can freely control it without the need of a seal.

The ugly monster tried to search for the source of the fire but surprisingly he couldn't find anything. When his eyes passed through the man, the only thing he was the mass of flames.

The entire air seemed to boil and the world itself seemed to shrink under white shadow. His eyes had been closed all this time, and the only thing that could be clearly seen was a flaming ring behind his head like a halo.

The current Wraith should be very powerful but even it was forcefully suppressed by the mystical aura that the figure emitted.

The monstrous creature lifted its eyes towards the the distant white shadow, not out of fear but hunger. It even dared to have thoughts of eating that white shadow.

Without saying a word, the white shadow, Thomas pointed his finger at the Wraith.

The entire island began to shake violently. Nana, her sisters and all others beasts were watching everything from afar with serious expressions expressions grew bleak and serious.

*Shiiiiiiiiiiiii..... Thud*

A soft sound followed by a another one.

The giant monster's eyes lost all color and the same was for all the sin force in the surroundings and it's body fell onto the ground.

A non-combatant deity like Prometheus was quite weak compared to the others and his true abilities in combat should be even lower than some demon kings. But he didn't need to be a good fighter at all since the existence of demons were much lower than him.

Not only could he use all of Prometheus' abilities he learned in his life, he also had his own skills and if that wasn't enough.

The white fire in his hands is a godly fire capable of burning anything from flesh to soul and energy. All it requires is for a deity with proficiency in the laws of fire to ignite his divinity in a pure and divine flames.

He knew the theories since his memories contained all of Prometheus life and experiences, yet never dared to try something of that sort since this fire had crazy divinity consumption.

Taking a sliver of godly fire to make a thin needle, Thomas threw it at Wraith all in a single motion.

The needle went right thought it's defense and hit his soul, burning his consciousness and spirit all in one go. That throw being perfect was all thanks to his passive skill as well his training otherwise it wouldn't be that easy.

It's a pity the requirements for using taking this form was quite harsh and had quite troublesome restrictions like how it only lasted sixty seconds. Otherwise, he felt he could just crash onto the Sonad Family's imperial palace and kills all the emperors who wanted to invade earth.

[Time Remaining 1s]

After that, Thomas fell down on the ground and lost consciousness.
