Chapter 130: Absorbing Dozens Of Divinities

-----

As I rejoined with my mates and the rest of our group, I noticed Fiery Hair was dancing with her tribesmen and the allied forces in the many fires the people of the camp created. She was having a lot of fun in this world. The people in here really clicked with her antics and, well, the antics of all the cavemen.

She had been mostly staying inside my Inner Realm since we rescued her, sometimes also in the Pagoda with a few other cavemen that had been chosen, but overall, she looked a bit bored any other time she wasn't by my side.

So I'm glad she could have fun here. Maybe I could even let them live in Elios momentarily; it is a wide area, full of beautiful vegetation, and without big cities or annoying politicians that would try to do something to them.

They could explore, hunt, gather, and form a new tribe here for the moment, and the orcs, thralls, and beast-kin that survived and weren't part of the cult are rather nice. After so many things happened, the survivors of these tribes allied forces to survive.

This creates less discrimination and racism between one another as they had to survive together against the oppressive cult, so they had become much more open-minded and welcoming of others, especially if they're similar to them in the matter of customs and just being a rough hunter-gatherer or nomad.

And as I admired everything, suddenly...

DING! DING! DING! DING!

“Hmm?”

My System seemed very angry; I had not been paying attention to it.

Well, I guessed there would be a lot of stuff, so I wanted to leave it for tomorrow.

However, the System's insists makes it nearly impossible to do that.

Fine, let me see, there's a lot I need to assess, which I've been ignoring for the most part because I wanted to rest and relax.

“Okay, display information, System.”

Ding!

[You have slain the Avatars of the Tower Gods: {Insect Queen of the Frozen Lands}, {Stone Giant of the Ash Mountain}, {Ruler of the Emerald Flames}, {Ancient Weapon of Destruction}, {Decaying Princess of Zombies}, {Dark Chaos Machine}, {Lord of the Cursed Forest}, {Seeker of Treasures}, {Parasite Queen}, {Abandoned Puppet of the Divine Craftsman}, {Carnival’s Clown}, {Ultramarine Dragon King}, {Corrupt King of Gold}, and shattered her Soul!]

[Most of these Gods have either died or fallen into a state of eternal slumber, slowly dying in their original worlds.]

[Additionally, you’ve helped slay the Tower God {Battle-Loving Barbarian King} and have hunted hundreds of his Divine Beasts!]

[You have earned a large quantity of EXP!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[…]

[Your Level has increased from Level 1232 to Level 3346/10.000!]

[All your Stats have increased! You earned Stat Points and Skill Points.]

Ah, that’s over two thousand levels, huh?

Not bad at all, though I expected much more.

This means that my EXP requirements per Level are probably much higher than others.

Maybe because of my powerful Class whose Level Cap is 10.000?

[You have absorbed the God Avatars Bodies and their Shattered Soul Fragments!]

[The Skill: [God Predator (SSS)] effects have been activated. You have absorbed the Divinity of the Tower Gods: {Battle-Loving Barbarian King (Partially)} {Insect Queen of the Frozen Lands}, {Stone Giant of the Ash Mountain}, {Ruler of the Emerald Flames}, {Ancient Weapon of Destruction}, {Decaying Princess of Zombies}, {Dark Chaos Machine}, {Lord of the Cursed Forest}, {Seeker of Treasures}, {Parasite Queen}, {Abandoned Puppet of the Divine Craftsman}, {Carnival’s Clown}, {Ultramarine Dragon King}, and {Corrupt King of Gold}!]

[You obtained the {Broken Divinities}: {Destruction}, {Eternal Winter}, {Lord of the Mountains}, {Life-Eating Emerald Flames}, {Ancient Weapon of Destruction}, {Undead Authority}, {Chaotic Machine}, {Cursed Forests}, {Treasure Seeker}, {Mother of all Parasites}, {Mad Puppet}, {Endless Carnival}, {Sea Dragons}, and {Seat of Gold}!]

[All Stats have increased by +10.000.000]

[You gained +3.500.000 Divinity.]

[You have stolen the Faith of the Gods you have Slain!]

[You gained +250.000.000 Faith.]

This is an unexpectedly good gain. I had looked down on them, but these insects that called themselves gods were a rather substantial meal—not bad. Thanks for all the strength you’ve given me.

Though so many Broken Divinities are a bit problematic, should I feed them all to my Main Divinity anyway? Or perhaps combine a few to create Secondary Divinities…

No, it’s better to continue down my own Divinity and use all of these to feed on them; maybe their powers could manifest into new Divine Abilities and Authorities, after all. Also, with this tremendous amount of Faith Points, I’ll be able to freely upgrade my Divinity. Thank you.

One thing I noticed, though, is that I didn’t get their Divine Realms, I think I’ll have to go to their respective worlds to retrieve them; if I even can, maybe they exploded, dissipated, or merged with the original world.

[You learned the Classless/Magic/Class Skills: [Divine Barbarian God’s Battle Arts (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Insect Queen Freezing Arts (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Stone Giant’s Mountain Physique (SSS): Lv1], [Demonic Emerald Flames Conjuration (SSS): Lv1], [Ancient Mechanical Weapon Transformation (SSS): Lv1], [Decaying Zombie Princess Undying Body (SSS): Lv1], [Chaotic Machine Armament Materialization (SSS): Lv1], [Abyssal Cursed Forest Terrain Summon (SSS): Lv1], [Greedy Treasure Seeker (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Parasite Queen (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Puppet Strings (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Festive Carnival Clown (SSS): Lv1], [Divine Sea Dragon God Transformation (SSS): Lv1], and [Divine Gold Manipulation and Creation (SSS): Lv1]!]

[The Skill: [Divine Class Absorption (SSS)] Skill effects have been activated. You have devoured the Divine Classes of the Tower Gods you have slain!]

[You devoured the Divine God Classes: [Barbarian God King of Bloodshed and War], [Insect Queen Goddess of the Eternal Winter Realm], [Divine Stone Mountain God], [Demon God of Emerald Flames], [Ancient Machine God of Civilization Destruction], [Decaying Zombie Princess Goddess], [Chaotic Evil Machine God], [Divine Parasite Goddess Queen], [Stringless Puppet God that Rebelled Against His Master], [Crazy Clown God of the Eternal Carnival], [Divine Sea Dragon God King], and [Greedy God King of Eternal Gold]!]

[You have earned +700.000 Skill Points!]

[Several Class Skills have Leveled Up!]

So many new Skills and Classes too!

I should combine them into overpowered Classes and sponsor them for my family and friends.

I think Urbosa and Merkite could make good use of some new Classes, Fiery Hair, Mursha, and Peperina as well.

Perhaps even Hekita, my adoptive daughter, and also the rest of my disciples. Classes are a very overpowered sponsorship power; they can easily gift stats and skills to someone.

Though it cost some Credits, I gained a lot as well.

[From having Slain all these Gods, you have ransacked them out of all their Credits!]

[You gained 7.000.000.000 Credits!]

Each one had hundreds of millions of Credits, pretty damn good earnings.

So basically, I got a lot of Divinities, Stats, Skills, Classes, and also Credits.

There hasn’t been such a rewarding battle ever since I fought and defeated the Progenitor of all Humans back in Murim.

When I killed him, I gained so much power that I was able to break through the Realm of a mere Venerable, ascending into something no other had achieved.

His powers were delicious, and they still remain within me. He was a strong, hateful adversary too, a much harder battle than what this was.

But well, that is that, and this is this...

Oh?

[An Incredible Feat! Not only have you and your allies defeated the Tower God {Battle-Loving Barbarian King} and freed Elios from his tyrannical divine dominion, but you’ve also freed the sealed Divine Beast Gods and granted them the chance to restore the world before its demise!]

[You’ve become a Savior of the World of Elios, the Second Floor of the Tower! You obtained the [Elios’ Divine Savior] Title!]

[While being within Elios, all your Stats will increase rapidly based on the number of people cheering for you and the strength of the foe you’re fighting. Additionally, as someone who has become the world’s Savior, all Elios original inhabitants and their descendants will hold great respect for you and all your affiliates, relatives, friends, and family. And might easily obey your requests as long as they’re reasonable. You can also freely claim this world as your own if you ever want to.]

Huh… Well, that’s nice, I guess.

Anyways, with this done, I wanted to move on with another thing, using the [Divinity Tree Absorption] Class Skill.

I had obtained a lot of “Broken Divinities”, but this Skill specialty is restoring them into proper Divinity Trees, or parts of them.

-----

[Divinity Tree Absorption (SSS): Lv1]

[Skill EXP]: [0/100.000]

A Class Skill that only belongs to the Divine Class: [God Eating Calamity: Ragnarök].

When you defeat a God, their Divinity Trees are often destroyed and left in shambles, resembling Broken Divinities that cannot be properly absorbed. However, this changes with this Skill. You can absorb Divinity Trees and restore them to almost the same intact form they once had by spending Mana and Credits. Once formed, you can absorb the Divinity Tree and combine it with yours, further developing and transforming it. After being absorbed, the Divinity Tree cannot go back to normal.

Level Bonus (1): Restores 50% of a Broken Divinity Tree, which you can absorb 100% of all its remaining Powers and combine them with yours. Increases Divinity Stat increase when absorbing Divinity Tree by +10%.

-----

Of course, it’s not for free, and it costs Credits and Mana, though I have plenty of them. I don’t really aim to absorb the Divinity Trees on their own; none of them can compare to my own anyway.

But by turning them into Divinity Trees, it is possible for my Divinity Tree to absorb them without any issues and gain much more power out of them than a normal Broken Divinity would grant.

“Okay then, let’s ascend, shall we?”

I was a bit bored, and before the night activities began with my girls, I wanted to get these things done so I wouldn’t have to worry while having fun with them.

I flew into the skies, afar from everyone, to not disturb their peaceful celebrations. I reached higher and higher in the night sky until, reaching above the clouds, the starry night was shown in full view in front of me.

“ROOAARR!”

And then Typhon emerged, appearing to cross through space as he was resting inside his new Divine Realm which he placed above the clouds.

“Hey there, want to see mommy ascend?”

“Raaarrr!”

He was waving his long, snake-like tail around in excitement.

He’s a good boy.

“Okay then, stay there. I’ll show you how to grow a Divinity Tree! You must already have developed your own, right? So sit down and watch mommy do this.”

I quickly started the process, starting by activating the Skill and refine the Broken Divinities back into their Divinity Tree forms; even if imperfect, they were better than broken divinities.

“{Divinity Tree Absorption}!”

Ding!

[You have exchanged 280.000.000 Credit Points and a Large Quantity of Mana!]

FLUOSH!

Rapidly, I released from my soul dozens of spheres of brilliant, colorful divinities. As they rotated around my body, Credit Points began to fill them, helping them transform, turning them into big, colorful trees made of ethereal and colorful essence, as if they were made of light.

[The {Broken Divinities}: {Destruction}, {Eternal Winter}, {Lord of the Mountains}, {Life-Eating Emerald Flames}, {Ancient Weapon of Destruction}, {Undead Authority}, {Chaotic Machine}, {Cursed Forests}, {Treasure Seeker}, {Mother of all Parasites}, {Mad Puppet}, {Endless Carnival}, {Sea Dragons}, and {Seat of Gold} have transformed into their {Divinity Tree} forms!]

[Several of them are in their imperfect Divinity Tree forms due to damage, and a Perfect Form cannot be achieved. To repair these errors or wounds within the branches and roots, please fuse them with similar trees.]

“It’s done.”

The 14 trees floated around me, each one with their own distinct appearance, color, and aura, and they were much more beautiful than Broken Divinities, which resembled spheres full of broken glass shards.

“Now… Absorb!”

My Divinity Aura surged from my body as a gigantic tree, easily surpassing the rest in size and robustness, made of golden light and abyssal darkness, emerged.

Its branches and roots pierced all fourteen Divinity Trees, absorbing them into its body and constantly making it change colors.

Slowly, it turned into a beautiful, rainbow-colored, and crystalline tree.

FLAAASH!
