Chapter 177: Angelic realm: Creation and Destruction path

"Did someone infiltrate the base?" With this being the first time something like this was happening, Hoffenheim aka Zultra began having thoughts that someone had taken over the base.

But the thought was instantly scrapped because he had once been in control of the base and knew of its capabilities.

With the base being the property of the God of knowledge and Inventions, no one in the angel realm would last more than 5 minutes in there.

Even battle angels will have a tough time trying to take over the base, but the moment Fury took its physical form they were as good as dead.

"Alright, let's try this out." The surface of his skin began changing as arrays appeared and began lighting up, same with his eyes.

This was a way for him to communicate both mentally and visually with Azkelwart no matter the distance between them.

"Long time no see Zultra, would have loved to see you but we had to go get a new core for Fury." Hearing Azkelwart's cheery voice brought a sense of warmth to his artificial heart.

"Sorry I wasn't the one to bring you back. I had no idea that my advancement would take so much time." Zultra said in an apologetic tone.

"You found a way to advance to the angel realm! Tell me more about it."  Azkelwart was excited at the mention of new knowledge.

Because Zultra was a clone created from millenniums' worth of knowledge, the mother-stream considered him as artificial.

This came with issues like his connection with the mother-stream was lesser when compared to humans and his cultivation was semi-crippled right from creation.

His stars and pathways were inexistent meaning he was stuck in the demigod realm.

"Well, I created my own pathways…" Zultra started from the thoughts behind the research before diving into the process.

Zultra was created with a very special core that wasn't restricted to certain elements.

This meant he was able to use process the mana of any element and that included space and darkness elements. That explained how he was the best in dimensional magic.

Although the core restricted him from advancing, it helped him instantly cast spells no matter the tier.

Also, it enabled him to cast complex spells at the angel realm as long as he knew them, and as the clone of the god of knowledge, he no doubt knew a lot.

"I must say I am really proud of you." Azkelwart said with a genuine smile on his face causing a warm feeling to spread all over Zultra's body.

"Thank you." Zultra bowed.

"When I am done with getting a new core for Fury, I might get distracted by something so I can't make promises on when I will be back." Azkelwart said knowing what was on Zultra's mind.

"And oh, send my regards to your disciple for freeing me. He has 3 elements by the way." Azkelwart whispered the last part as he disconnected the communication link.

Being a genius, Zultra instantly pieced everything together.

The one to have awakened his father was Blake and surely it was orchestrated by fury.

As for the whispered line, he didn't even need to guess the third element was space.

"That makes a lot of sense because his rate of improvement in dimensional magic is quite terrifying." Zultra thought. "But I must say, he really is one hell of a lucky boy."

Having nothing to do in the Bulian hills, he teleported back to the forest and returned to the northern gate.

He boarded a carriage and was returning to the magic academy, but that was when he realized something.

"What will I be doing now?" He had been working very hard so that he could show his father how far he had gone.

His advancement was successful, but right now he was weak and had no plans for any research.

Normal people would want to rest after a breakthrough but he would be extremely bored if he had nothing to do.

"This will be one boring week…"

…

"Finally!" Zirrack's grin returned to his face as the mountain where he left off came into sight.

"If I don't advance before school starts then I can as well forget it." The reason Zirrack had gone to the extent of adding a rejuvenation potion to his list of preparations was that he was on the verge of advancing to the next stage of the angelic realm.

The angelic realm had 2 stages; The first was the initial stage which all demigods advanced into, while the second stage was further divided into 2.

The second stage was known as the creation or destruction path.

One's chances of advancing into either path were dependent on their understanding of the element.

For example the fire element.

Most people saw fire as a tool for destruction and chaos, but people like forgemasters saw it as a tool for creation.

Some used it to burn evil, while some used it to commit crimes.

(AN: lmao!!! We all know the path Zirrack is advancing to.)

The Destruction path of the fire element granted the user the ability to create any form of object in the form of fire and also a terrifying increase in their power output.

As for the creation aspect of fire, it was quite a complex one. It gave the user the ability to transfer part of their life essence into things made out of their flames.

An example is when one conjures flame clones. They could transfer part of their life essence into them, enabling them to think on their own.

They would possess the memory and skills of the creator and their power level was dependent on them amount of mana put into conjuring them.

When it came to forgemastery, the angel was able to transfer a certain level of life essence, giving the object a certain level of intelligence.

Zirrack had no knowledge of this neither did he know the requirements for advancing, but he could feel he was close.

Also, he had no idea that today might be his lucky day.
