Chaos glanced at his newly increased stats, several millions had skyrocketed and even more, his mana had increased by the billions in comparison! He now had even more fuel than anyone around his realm in terms of Mana, which was converted into divine energy through an automatic refinement process made by the Divine Energy Usage Ability.
Now, he could enhance his Abilities and Skills with even greater power thanks to this divine energy rushing through his veins, he felt like he had truly grown stronger now, and felt proud of himself and all the progress he had gone through. Now, he was filled with the resolve of surviving!
…Although he really wanted to take it easy even if for a little bit for now, he wanted to mostly assess all his power altogether and enhance it even further with all the divine materials lying around and the possibilities he had with his new powers. There were many new ideas surging inside of his mind as if he was getting enlightened, he might find a way to enhance his power even further if he thinks with his stomach a bit more, however.
For now, he looked at the new Ability he got.
…
[Catastrophic Destruction: Level 1]
The power to unleash the strength of the Divinity of Destruction over your Abilities, Spells, or Skills, or completely raw, showing itself as an instable black and red energy that constantly spirals around your hands. While being enhanced by this power, all your offensive Abilities, Skills, and Spells receive a +100% damage boost per Ability Level and can penetrate 10% of the enemy's defenses per Ability Level. The disintegration of matter becomes possible.
…
Simple yet deadly. This Ability merely enhanced the power of all his offense as long as he activated it, his offensive moves would become +100% stronger and his moves would be able to ignore 10% of the user's defense, and that was per Ability level. Seeing his fast progress, it wouldn't take long before this Ability level increased in the near future. He was overall looking for the prospects of such a timeline, as Chaos seemed to feel rather excited about a future where he could disintegrate the Supreme Entity of Brightness and all her disgusting lapdogs from the face of the Universe.
That would certainly feel good… indeed.
But for now, Chaos felt like there was something else he had to check, alongside the divinity of destruction which also had similar effects of damage-boosting power than the Ability he checked previously, there was a new and mysterious power, the Lesser Dao of Demise.
What was a Dao to begin with? He didn't knew what the hell it was, but he learned and understood something, as he had already fully comprehended and assimilated this one, this thing was powerful and it possessed a transcendental level of cosmic proportions, it was actually way stronger than a lesser thing, that's for sure.
How strong is this power? He wondered. It seemed to be endlessly powerful, but it was sealed in tiers.
The tiers of a Dao, which were they? He knew of only one and the lowest, Lesser Dao. But there were more higher tiers, right?
He looked at the power of his Dao once more, curious about what he could truly do with it, while seeking more answers about the true effects of its ability.
…
[Lesser Dao of Demise]
The powerful Grand Cosmic Dao of Demise on its reduced and lesser form. Capable of bringing demise to things… at a much lower scale. The power of Demise shrouds your body and you can utilize it to bring Demise Essence naturally from your body. Utilize Demise Essence to cause direct damage to the foe's soul and body with corrodes the very fabric of their being. Meanwhile, it can also be used while using abilities to increase their damage output or cultivated into the body to develop a Demise Physique.
Requirements to unlock the next Dao Tier: Reach Great God-Realm.
…
"…"
Chaos looked at the window in front of him, the power of the Dao of Demise seemed quite interesting, similar to the ability he checked previously too. Perhaps he could fuse and stack their effects for even more monstrous damage output. He was excited about using this might to finally make some bastards pay for what they did to his parents, but for now, he had to calm himself down and let himself be consumed by power.
There was more, however, Demise was a Dao of incredible and interesting capabilities, Chaos was now able to reproduce a completely new elemental energy named Essence of Demise, by using this, he was able to enhance the power offensive abilities but also his own body. It said that he could "cultivate" it to make his physique change into a Demise Physique, whatever that was.
Alongside that, to reach the next Dao Tier and get more power out of it, he had to reach the next realm after God-Realm, Great God-Realm!
"I've seen enough, I am satisfied." Thought Chaos, as he took a warm shower this time instead of a cold one with nether water. This warm water was directly made through magic artifacts, and it was also crystalline and fresh, his entire cold body felt like it was heating up with such a warm mater, making his entire body relax and his muscles which were tensed up, relax greatly.
"Hahh…"
Chaos felt so good he almost fell asleep in the shower, but he quickly walked outside and dried his body using Fire Magic, after that, he put on new clothes and walked outside, being greeted by a few of his retainers in the way, he reached the dining room, where Abyss was waiting for him with a big plate of a new dish named Curry, which was made using the ingredients found in the Demon Kingdoms they had visited. This dish used special spices to be made, and held strong flavors never seen before. The curry he ate was red, spicy, and delicious, awakening Chaos' favoritism for spicy foods.
