Chapter 651 God

Unsealing the Heart of Gluttony was an arduous process. It required Nial's full focus over a long period of time.

Old Skin, and bits of black blood that smelled bad, could be found everywhere around him. He had expelled his old skin and the remaining impurities that had resided inside his body. Cleansed from all impurities, Nial's body was fully purified and as close to perfection as one could get.

There was no imperfection on his skin, let alone inside his body. His preparations to create a near-perfect physique had been a great success, and he finally reaped the benefits. His physical strength had increased by more than ten times after the Heart of Gluttony had been unsealed, giving him enough power to overpower the strength of most ordinary and new Gods in the Universe.

Nial was not too sure how strong he was right now but he felt like his dark energy could spread around a whole planet and his Cursed Divine Abiltiy could devour the planet in its entirety.

That was exactly what he felt to be capable of.

Devouring a planet and turning it into the purest form of energy was something Nial could do. In fact, it was something that would allow him to further increase his strength. His Cursed Divinity would be refined and his power would skyrocket.

Devouring a whole stellar system would allow him to become even stronger while devouring a whole galaxy was likely to allow him to advance his Cursed Divinity immediately and become an Ancient God.

Nial didn't plan to devour a whole galaxy just to become stronger. However, if necessary, he would devour anything and everyone around him to kill his opponents. Devouring his opponents after defeating them would allow him to fight and become stronger.

That was something he was likely to need soon. After all, he felt that the final seal on the Late God of Darkness' Godly Fragment was being unsealed.

Nial was already in possession of the last of Damian's Godly Fragments. He had devoured and integrated the last two Godly Fragments of the Late God of Darkness into his body, turning him into the only being with full authority and access to the powers that Damian had hidden.

The first Godly Fragment was pulled toward him when the Advocate of the Pryards stole his eyes, replacing them with the Cursed Eyes of the Advocate. After that, Nial was teleported to the City of Trials where the second Godly Fragment of the Late God of Darkness was pulled toward him.

There was no other Godly Fragment of the God of Darkness because they had been destroyed by the Advocate of the Pryards.

However, what the Advocate of the Pryards didn't think about was that Damian's Power didn't only originate from his Cursed Divinity. His Godly Fragments were not the only thing that had caused trouble to the Advocate.

There were also millions of Devils, with each of them harboring the necessary strength to rampage in a Galaxy and obliterate countless races.

Each of Damian's Devils had been powerful and granted a trace of his power. They had been Devilized by him and turned into Devils in the process of sharing his strength.

Under normal circumstances, the Devils would die with the death of their master. However, that did not happen when Damian died. The Late God of Darkness had known that he would die. He made preparations for his own death and sealed away all Devils and the races that had been willing to follow him to death.

After sealing away all of his Devils and entire galaxies filled with loyal races, Damian split up his Divinity, his physical body died and the remnants of his Soul were inserted into the Godly Fragments that were spread through the entire Universe and beyond that.

By completing his ascension to godhood, Nial slowly unveiled more and more memories of the Late God of Darkness. The memories didn't feel like they were Damians. On the contrary, they were a part of him. Nial was not able to distinguish his own memories and Damian's memories anymore.

He was still able to tell that he, as Nial Orin, hadn't been alive in the memories of the Late God of Darkness. However, he was not able to say that Damian was not a part of him.

The memories made him feel as if Damian was Nial's past life from a long time ago. It was a weird feeling, but definitely not something he disliked. He could hardly describe it, but the way all memories he made as Damian felt real and as if he had gone through the same warmed his heart.

Damian lived a rough life. He never had it easy, and having that imprinted into his heart was meaningful for Nial.

It showed him clearly what kind of people he would meet in the future and how to deal with others.

Nial's experience of life was already vast. He had experienced a lot, which allowed him to grow stronger and become better in various ways. However, Damian's memories were on a completely different level. The Late God of Darkness had lived for over a hundred thousand years and the impact he had on the Universe was not to be underestimated.

Even after eons had passed, Damian's powers were still remembered. Even the beings who had never even seen him knew that the God of Darkness had been a fearsome existence.

Nial didn't think like that. He thought that Damian was a lonely God, someone who just wanted to be acknowledged by anyone. Damian had always given his best to become stronger, to help out, and to make sure that the Universe wouldn't be under the attack of the Veilures. He worked hard to remove the threats of the Advocates of the Pryard until he chose to remove the root of the threats.

He chose to attack the Advocates once he found out their identities and obliterated most of them. In the turn of events, everyone went up against him. Nobody remained neutral, and only those whose loyalty toward him was unbreakable remained by his side.

They didn't acknowledge him as a person, but only his strength. However, that didn't matter to him anymore.

As long as the last Advocate could be removed from the Universe, everything would be fine.

It had to be.
