Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

"Ridiculous." The price was too much. He could afford it, but that would leave him with a very little essence of life. His main source of power was the essence of life. With it, he could stomp all over demonic gods like the serpentine devil. Without it, he would be the one getting stomped over!

Elliot wasn't willing to use his entire trump card here and now just to become a demi-god as the cons outweigh the pros.

"Can I use energy channel connecting pills to connect them?"

[Yes, but it would cost you a hundred of them to connect all the celestial energy channels into one to create a cosmic circuit.]

A hundred? He didn't even have thirty in his ring!

"Forget it."

It was impossible to become a demi-god today.

He would aim for that status another day.

For now, it was time to do something else, which would also boost his power level!

A bottle full of blue pills with golden lines appeared in Elliot's hand. They were energy channels opening capsules. There were twenty-eight of them.

"Time to open my energy channels."

Elliot opened the lid of the pill and put one pill in his mouth after another.

Each time a pill entered his mouth, it would instantly evaporate into a stream of magical energy that would charge down his throat, course through his body, and attack the opening of the very first energy channel it would come across. The opening would shatter, and it would enter the energy channel, nourishing it to its peak state.

If anyone were here to see what Elliot was doing, they would gape for fortress minutes straight!

After all, Elliot was eating pills like candies.

[You've consumed nine energy channels opening pills!]

[You've opened nine more energy channels!]

[Congratulations! All of your energy channels are now opened!]

[You're a step away from becoming a grandmaster of magic!]

"A step away? Soon I won't be, hahaha!"

Elliot pulled out another pill bottle from the alchemy ring gifted to him by the pill emperor. It had an energy channel connecting pills—ten of them, just the perfect amount he needed to level up to the grandmaster stage.

"Let's do it!" Elliot popped ten pills in his mouth at the same time. A vast amount of energy went inside his body, intertwined his energy channels to another, smoothened them so much that they appeared like one body, and it acted like one too.

[Congratulations! You've connected your energy channels into one entity and gained an energy circuit!]

[You've become a magic grandmaster.]

[Energy circuit allows you to rotate magic power or mana continuously throughout your body to nourish it and make it robust.]

Elliot could feel mana coursing across his body, and with each successful rotation, his bones, veins, and organs were getting strengthened.

He was sure that his stats would automatically increase under the nourishment of mana.

However, it would take a few days, and the more stringer his body becomes, the lesser the increase would become.

Anyway, to become a lord of magic, he needed to increase the size of his energy circuit.

He had all the pills necessary to do that!

"Today, I am going to reach the King of Magic stage!" Elliot exclaimed with a smile.

He was extremely happy, and the reasons were many. He didn't know that he would get to take what he had earned in the imaginary world back to reality. At that time, he didn't know that the things there were real. He had made many pills in the celestial mountain and stored most of them in his rings. There were all types of them, and now he will use them to keep on advancing.

It took a while for him to make his energy circuit big enough to let 10000 units of mana flow through it.

[Congratulations! You've reached the Lord of Magic stage!]

[Condensed all of your mana into a liquid form to become a king of magic and gain an ability kingdom.]

"Great." He had reached the Magic Lord stage from the energy channel opening realm in merely an hour.

The next step was to condense the gaseous mana into liquid and make an ocean of mana. The thing was, he only had single energy liquifying pill!

He put it in his mouth and crushed it using his teeth.

"Pop!"

[You've consumed an energy-liquifying pill!]

[10% of your energy has condensed into liquid!]

[You've reached the peak of the first level of the Magic Lord Stage]

A single pill was enough to solidify 10% of his energy–this was enough to tell anyone that his pill was of the highest quality!

"Hmm, I know the recipe to create the liquefying and solidifying pills. I just need the ingredients. Maybe planet Xavier has them, or maybe I will have to go to another planet to get them. Well, as I already have a teleporter in my bag, it won't be a problem to get to another world. I would just need a hell of a lot of money and magic crystals to cover the cost of opening a portal to another. I can also use the dimensional shop to buy the ingredients, but the price of each item in the shop is too astronomical. Why don't the traders in the dimensional shop just act like space pirates and rob civilizations of their treasures if they are going to sell a single high-ranked herb for 100 million magic crystals?! Crazy bastards, all of them!!"

Elliot was all set and ready about his future.

___

The next day, Elliot, his spirit pets, and Lucy came to the location where Theo and John had told them to come. It had a low-quality teleporter that could generate a portal leading to any place on planet Xavier. The portal looked like an arched wall. Plants were twining it, and moss had already started growing on it. There was a giant mana crystal in the middle area of its uppermost section, which had the job of providing the necessary energy to the teleporter so that it could operate and generate a portal.

"It's time to return." Theo tapped away at the panel connected to the teleporter, causing a portal to generate.

"Let's go." Everyone except for Elliot jumped into the portal.

"Goodbye, Paradise.." Elliot looked back one last time, seemingly gazing at where he had cultivated the best memories before jumping into the portal.
