Chapter 1689 Surpassing All Limits
-----
Drake felt like he was comprehending something, enlightened by something much deeper, his endless perseverance, and his own motivation to never give up, even if he's torn to shreds, changed something within him.
Every Soul that is reincarnated and obtain a Unique Skill receives this Unique Skill inside of their very Souls, the reason why Greenwood is able to extract them from people to begin with is because he extracts the souls and crystalize them.
With that, he's able to either add them into equipment or even absorb them into a physical, flesh body... However, for that very reason, that Unique Skills remain within one's soul.
Is that when someone's soul evolves and becomes stronger, the Unique Skills tend to change and become stronger as well.
Drake's [Immortal Body] had developed many abilities through his life, the power to eat anything, the ability to enhance his senses, as long as he had energy and stamina left, even if his head was cut down and his heart crushed, he could restore his body.
However, despite all its powers, even as a God, it still had one weakness, it only worked with his physical body, if his soul instead, was struck, [Immortal Body] would simply not activate, it stated within its primary description that it only worked on the physical body after all...
Until now.
Something within Drake awakened, a spark an enlightenment, without realizing it, he had already done everything necessary, but he only needed to understand what it truly meant to be Immortal.
To acknowledge that you will be always pushed down, but that you will always stand back up, endlessly, relentlessly, and without end.
To have a duty, not to strive for his own selfishness, but to give meaning to his Immortality, and protect those that aren't like him!
Because without a meaning, life itself is pointless.
And even more, without an even stronger meaning, eternal life is only a torture and a curse!
But to Drake, it was his strongest weapon, which would bring him further than anybody, to surpass the tremendous wall in front of him...
He had to rely on his powerful Unique Skill, just as Pandemonium did on his own to become so overwhelmingly powerful!
"Yeah, I get it now..." Drake nodded, his eyes shining with golden light, his body glowing, the damage he took into his divinities restored, and even his shattered divinities were beginning to recover, except for those that had been already turned into Demonic Divinities.
With a ferocious roar, Drake's Divine Domain trembled, quickly taking the shape of a gigantic silver and azure dragon with countless heads, tearing through his Infernal Hands and Abyssal Eyes one after another.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"You persistent bastard...! Just give up and die already!"
Pandemonium's gates opened even faster than before, not by the dozens but by the hundreds, and then thousands! Drake quickly had to keep up with the pressure as he expanded his [Heavenly Abyssal Azure Nebula Domain (SSS+)], firing thousands of stars of ice, light, darkness, and fire against Pandemonium's summons.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! But even then, it just wasn't enough! The Abyssal Eyes and Infernal Hands could tank several dozens of stars before even taking proper damage, they were incredibly tough.
Drake's manifestation was strong, but it was already busy tearing through anything it could by using the power of Gluttony.
"Then it's time to use that as well..." Drake thought.
Drake immediately decided to use his second Fused Divine Ability.
[Unique Skill: Soul-Destroying Infernal Heavenly Void Star Armament Creation (SSS+)]!
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, the divine and demonic power of his Domain started to change, materializing, and taking the form of silver and azure colored metal, which then took the shape of enormous spears and blades, encompassed by a thin veil of Void Element.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The projectiles quickly started slashing and slicing through the Infernal Hands and Abyssal Eyes, surprising Pandemonium once more.
"Is he... holding me back properly now?!"
At long last, Drake had achieved it.
A stalemate!
