Chapter 348 - Cosmic Embodiment

-----

Chaos looked into the beautiful star-shaped bulb he made and then he looked back into his hands once more, he had thought about it for some time, but if he was able to generate materialized magic creations such as those, shouldn't he be able to create similar "soldiers" through such methods?

What if he could create artificial spirits? He had already tapped into something similar through his Nine Divine Dragons Technique and might try it out once more with Cosmic Magic.

"A Cosmic Spirit… Planet's voice, is it possible for me to create life out of magic? Powerful life?" asked Chaos.

"Possible? It is… I believe so. Those that have achieved a high level of divinity and magic power can create life out of magic, powerful servants of all types, they're called by many names, Familiars, Spirits, Golems, and more… But why you desire that when you have many allies? Couldn't you use… your divine beasts?" asked the planet's voice.

"Divine Beasts are not that competent, they're just wild beast with slight amounts of divinity, they're better off as food for me… And my allies, they're strong… And they help, but I want something that I can risk easily, throwing them into danger and without caring if they die or not. I do have Necromancy… Hm…" said Chaos.

"You seem to have an incredible assortment of Skills, you should probably see what you can do through them and their combination with magic, I am sure you will be able to generate new troops as you desire…" said the planet's voice. Sometimes it seemed more energetic and other times it spoke slowly, she had ups and downs, apparently.

"I see… I should check my Skill List… And probably fuse them. If I can fuse many skills, I could gain new power and probably grow stronger from it as well…" said Chaos.

"Skill Fusion? Is… such a thing possible?" asked the World's voice.

"Yes, with the power of Alchemy!" said Chaos.

"Alche… my? Uhuh…" muttered the planet's voice.

Chaos had thought about it, and he considered using the power of Alchemy to fuse Skills, but the requirements it had, and the restrictions were too annoying, so he planned to make a new alchemy bracelet, something even greater and upgraded so he could be allowed to fuse more skills per day.

For now, he decided to check the other two Skills he had, which were just as important and powerful as Cosmic Magic. His eyes flashed across their descriptions at fast speed.

[Cosmic Embodiment: Level 1]

A unique Ability that allows the user to embody its cosmic power. It can only be learned by tremendously powerful beings that have accumulated and assimilated insanely high quantities of Cosmic Energy within their bodies and souls.

This power can be summoned through this Ability, and its density depends in the user accumulated Cosmic Energy. This Ability can be merged with other Abilities, and it could eb considered an embodiment of the Soul as well, but even stronger. Its power increases as the level does, until the possibility of naturally absorbing cosmic energy from the environment.

This Skill would allow Chaos to enhance his battle capabilities by embodying all the cosmic power he had accumulated now, and it could quite literally even help him embody the essence of the Universal Seed!

This really looked like it had an amazing potential, and Chaos quickly decided to try it out, activating the Ability.

FLASH!

The moment he did, he felt as if he was having an out of body experience, he saw his own body from above, while still being able to think on his own body.

He had been able to unleash his soul outside of his body before, but it was always quite limited, but now, it felt as if he had created a complete clone of his own body through this cosmic power, and both shared senses.

"How interestingly odd…" he thought.

He quickly saw that this clone was made of bright bluish energy with stars all around, resembling a nebula with his shape, it was wondrous and quite beautiful.

He suddenly, decided to infuse it into his body, and felt as if his power began to grow larger, his stats temporarily increased. Although he couldn't keep this power forever, although he had enough mana for it to keep it up for a long time, he was getting more and more exhausted on his soul.

He even felt as if his soul was reducing in size… he quickly took out the skill effect and sighed in relief. It seems that his soul was made up of a lot of cosmic energy, which this ability drained to keep up, alongside mana.

If he used this power too much, his cosmic energy would be drained completely, and his soul would go back to being fist-sized for a while.

Chaos felt as the Universal Seed that was slowly sprouting in the darkness of his original soul fragment was slowly refilling his soul with more cosmic energy, slowly filling the gaps that the transformation left.

It wasn't much, and it would take several minutes for Chaos to feel an actual after effect, but it was something he had to consider while fighting in the future ahead.

"It appears that the power of cosmic energy still has its limits?" asked the world's voice.

"It appears to be the case. But I am willing to adapt to them and do roundabouts if necessary… Nothing that cannot be done over time, the time inside of this dungeon made by Erebus is several times faster than outside, I believe I can find enough time to train my powers in here." Said Chaos.

"It appears to be the case, there is a large time dilation here… I can notice it…" pointed out the world's voice, she knew very well of this space's powers as she was the planet itself. Not being able to detect something so simple wasn't within her amazing capabilities.

Even as a weakened planet, she was still very powerful, and held many capabilities that could do plenty of useful things, analyzing space and time was something that was obviously within the capabilities of such a powerful being as herself.

After inspecting this, Chaos decided to check his last new Ability… Stargazing Eyes.
