Merging the Power Systems of Two Worlds
🕑 Added 2023-11-15 09:44:19 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 231 ---
Dragon Nest's Main Base, Advalon.
Inside a lush forest, a Dragon's roar and a Dog's growling bark echoed several miles away.
Each sound could make any spirit beasts below 100,000 years old shiver instinctively as they carry intense pressure that makes one's blood freeze.
However, the reality is often disappointing.
Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikusei breathed as if they had run a lap around the world while facing Huo Yuhao in their new forms.
The White Dragon Emperor currently adorned a lean draconic armor: scale mail with feather-like energy wings. The iconic blue jewels are still embedded in the armor joints and chest area, releasing a dim light.
On the other hand, Tobio Ikuse is thoroughly covered with thick darkness and has his eyes transform into a frenzy of crimson. Six furry tails spurted from his rear, and two scythes somehow attached to his arms, becoming one with him.
Huo Yuhao yawned and smiled slightly, "The experiment is a success."
"How do you feel?"
"Dying..." Tobio Ikuse answered flatly. He dropped to the ground and caught his breath.
Vali Lucifer released heavy air from his chest and sighed, "This is too much."
"Not only you transformed our Sacred Gears into Martial Souls."
"But you also turned Albion and Tobio's dog into Spirit Souls."
"It was a success, but we are losing our abilities and must adapt to these new changes." He added helplessly.
It feels like all his effort those years wasted into a drain.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Don't be like that."
"The experiment is also beneficial for Albion. You know that your connection with him has become much stronger than before, no?"
"Also, you're not limited with [Divide], [Reduce], and [Reflect] anymore."
He looked at Tobio and commented, "The same goes for you, Tobio. Your connection with Jin is incredible, to be honest. Even more than Vali and Albion, which allowed you to experience a mutation."
Woof!
A red-eyed husky jumped out from Tobio's shadow and started licking his face. Compared to the first Huo Yuhao saw this creature, it feels much more alive and vibrant now.
Canis Lykaon.
Dog God of The Black Blade.
It's a mutated-type Sacred Gear due to two factors. First, it originated from the King of Arcadia(Lykaon), who incurred Zeus's wrath and became a wolf after being cursed. The second is Ame-no-Ohabari, the divine sword in Shintoism used to kill Hinokagutsuchi.
As a result of the distortion caused by the union of both, the Sacred Gear was 'surprisingly' turned from a wolf into a dog, and the divine sword became an ominous blade because of Lykaon's curse.
Eluxia used her Goddess of Light's Codex to turn Canis Lykaon into an avatar-type Martial Soul and told Tobio that both origins had merged to the point of no return, which was a curse and blessing for the young man.
It was a curse because Tobio Ikuse couldn't comprehend an Orthodox Divinity. And blessing because of how powerful Canis Lykaon was.
According to Tobio Ikusei, he could create a blade with the help of Jin(Cynis Lykaon), which could slice Buddha and the Gods.
It's technically 'true' because Huo Yuhao could feel the divinity negation from Tobio's attack, but divinity is 'strictly' categorized into several levels.
At Tobio's current level, he could fight 3rd Class Gods from the Dragon Nest, but that doesn't mean he could win. As for the Gods from the Douluo Divine Realm, Huo Yuhao can't say anything for them.
Vali Lucifer solemnly stared at Canis Lykaon and sighed, "Albion, you're letting me down."
"Huh?" The blue jewel in Vali's chest burst out with a handsome-looking white dragon. Well, a 'small' version of it.
"Oy, What do you mean by that??"
The cuter version of Albion finally appeared. His 'small' body looks like a plushie with a stout nose and flappy wings.
"..." Vali Lucifer stared blankly at his partner.
Since Spirit Souls are technically not living beings as they are more of a spirit than anything. Albion's current appearance is the result of that.
Albion has been sealed inside [Divine Dividing] for gods now know how long, passing from new host to another. He has lost his perfect physical image, which caused Huo Yuhao to initiate 'Baby's Plan' for the Heavenly Dragon.
From now on, Albion would start from zero and accumulate more essence to support Vali's cultivation. It doesn't mean the White Dragon Emperor lost their ability. On the contrary, just like Huo Yuhao said earlier, they could forge a new path together.
Albion can become an Ultra Divine Beast like the 'Dragon God' of the Douluo Dalu Universe. But first, he must develop himself from scratch.
Well, their abilities are 'already' considered cheating.
Albion and Jin(Canis Lykaon) only supplied three purple spirit rings for their hosts currently. Ultimately, they would become much more mature and provide even stronger ones(spirit rings) in the future.
"Okay, that's it for today." Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and changed the landscape, revealing several panting figures.
"Yuhao, you're devil-nyaa!" Kuroka was the first to complain after coming out of the mirror dimension.
Besides Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikusei, Huo Yuhao also trained everyone from the Draconic Deus.
Well, it's more of an experiment than a training.
Huo Yuhao wanted to see what kind of degree they are currently in their cultivation. The most noticeable results come from people like Vali Lucifer and Tobio Ikuse, but the others aren't lagging either.
'They are evolving.' Huo Yuhao makes a mental note.
The natives of Draconic Deus are different from the Douluo Dalu Universe.
After all, they originated from a world with a rich power system and different kinds of energy, which they could customize.
For example, Light and Demonic Energy are 'actually' used as extra attributes to enhance their spirit energy.
Heck, Ophis merged her 'infinity' and spirit energy like it was her second nature. The destruction she could create now exceeds what she can achieve in the Draconic Deus.
"Get some rest." He flashed a smile at them.
"Azazel, Ajuka, I have put forward your proposal and made a research lab on the second base. Feel free to check them later."
"Kuroka, Koneko, and Kunou. You may visit the Douluo Continent, but remember not to expose anything about yourself."
"Ladies from the Vatican and Underworld, I'll give you an important mission to infiltrate an organization known as the Holy Ghost Church. If possible, you can take over the organization and use it to spread your Faith."
Everyone's eyes widened when hearing about this mission.
"Can we really do that, Father?" Gabriel couldn't help but want to confirm this mission.
"Yes, it would affect the world, no?" Venelana Bael added shortly after.
Huo Yuhao laughed and replied, "Hehe, don't worry."
"This world is pretty lax as long as you play according to the rules."
"Like I said to the cute and charming Yokai there, you mustn't attract too much attention."
"C-Cute." Kunou blushed and covered her face with her fox tails.
Koneko also flushed, but she hid it well.
Meanwhile, Kuroka grinned from ear to ear because she hadn't heard Huo Yuhao's praise for a while.
"What about the rest of us?" Le Fay Pendragon raised her hand.
Huo Yuhao gave them a playful look and responded, "Well, I have other plans for you guys."
"What do guys think about a little tournament between your groups?"
"I'll give you a month to enter any sect in the Douluo Continent and enter the Continental Academy Tournament with a different identity. The winner of the tournament may receive one wish from me! As long as it is within my capability, I will fulfill it."
"However, you may only use Spirit King Realm Cultivation with no power from your homeworld."
They are shocked.
One wish.
They didn't know the depth of Huo Yuhao's power, but they were sure he was the strongest person in the world. The ladies immediately drowned in their hopeful dreams.
"Remember, you only have one month." Huo Yuhao walked away. "Let the race begin."
