Ahriman decreased his size until he was only three meters tall.
Right now, his strength was on par with the Half-Elf he was planning to fight. This reality made Ahriman feel very bitter.
In the past, he was a powerful Primordial God, but after being sealed for thousands of years, his strength had degraded a lot. Also, when he lost his Divine body, and only his soul remained, his chance of reaching Godhood once more would heavily rely on luck.
Only if he could possess a Divine body that would fit his soul perfectly, his ascendance would become a reality.
This was why he had gone to the Army of Destruction in order to find a suitable body for him in the worlds that they were about to destroy.
