[System Prompt: Divine-level Divine Core fusion beginning, progress: 1%... 2%...]
As the system's voice echoed, Sylvus could feel his divine soul undergoing changes.
At the same time, his body was quickly adapting to the power within the Divine Core.
"Boom rumble..."
Lightning tribulations continued to fall, speeding up the fusion process, and more powerhouses gathered in the Holy City.
"Is the boss breaking through? The Heavenly Lightning Tribulation is terrifying."
Elena and Ronald had returned to the palace.
The two of them were looking at the white lightning vortex in the sky with astonishment.
Especially Ronald, who had gone through such a tribulation himself.
"..."
However, the tribulation he experienced back then was nothing compared to the one before his eyes.
Any one of these tribulations could match all the lightning tribulations he had faced.
"I wonder what level of power the boss truly possesses. As strong as he is, he still needs to break through. It seems our goal should be beyond just becoming Mage Emperors."
Elena said seriously.
Although she didn't know how Sylvus compared to the powerhouses in the Divine Realm, she knew he was far stronger than them.
Just the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation alone, if it erupted, would be enough to destroy everything.
[System Prompt: Fusion progress: 15%... 16%...]
As everyone watched the lightning tribulation, Sylvus's aura became even stronger.
He could feel his divine soul rapidly integrating with the power within the Divine Core.
Time passed, and initially, the people of the Holy City were amazed as they watched the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.
But as time went on, they became indifferent.
This tribulation lasted for nearly two days.
Even at night, the sky over the entire Holy City was as bright as day.
[System Prompt: Fusion progress: 95%... 96%...]
By the afternoon of the second day, eighty out of the eighty-one Heavenly Lightning Tribulations had already fallen.
Only the final tribulation remained before Sylvus could fully fuse with the Divine Core and become a Lower Deity.
The final lightning did not fall immediately. Instead, the vortex of lightning in the sky began to brew once more, exuding an even more terrifying aura.
The space surrounding the Holy City started to distort.
If it weren't for the system's protection, the city would have already been reduced to ashes by the previous day.
"..."
About an hour later, a thunderous light column suddenly burst from the white lightning vortex in the sky.
The diameter of the column was about one hundred meters.
Under such terrifying power, even a true Deity-level powerhouse might not be able to withstand it. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"As expected of a Divine-level Divine Core, the final lightning tribulation is strong enough to kill an Upper Deity like Grey."
Feeling the power of the final tribulation, Sylvus smiled faintly.
No matter how strong the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was, once it came before him, it was nothing.
"Final one, fuse with me!"
"..."
Sylvus whispered, and a bright purple light burst from the center of his forehead.
As soon as the lightning touched the purple light, it was instantly absorbed.
[System Prompt: Divine-level Divine Core fusion progress: 98%... 99%...]
At this moment, Sylvus's Divine Core was surrounded by endless lightning power.
This power enveloped his entire body.
The last trace of magic within his body disappeared, merging entirely into the Divine Core.
[System Prompt: Divine-level Divine Core fusion progress has reached 100%. Congratulations, host, on successfully breaking through to Lower Deity!]
[System Prompt: Host has reached the Lower Deity level. The system will now update. Update duration: 15 days.]
[System Prompt: During the system update, the system shop will not refresh. After the update, the system will compensate the host.]
"..."
System prompts echoed, but Sylvus paid no attention to them.
With a shudder, he suddenly found himself in another dark space.
"Is this... the space within the Divine Core?"
Sylvus muttered as he looked around.
It seemed like a starry sky, with numerous stars drifting not far from Sylvus.
However, these stars were dim, as if lacking some kind of power.
"Could these stars represent divine abilities, but because I haven't acquired any yet, they haven't lit up?"
Sylvus squinted his eyes, observing the countless stars in the space.
There seemed to be tens of billions of them.
If he lit up all these stars, he would be an invincible existence.
"It seems I need to go to the Divine Realm and see if I can acquire some divine abilities."
Sylvus thought to himself.
With a thought, the space before him disappeared, and Sylvus slowly opened his eyes in the outside world.
"So, this is the power of a Lower Deity? With my current power, one punch could probably pierce through the entire continent."
Sylvus felt the strength within him and was satisfied.
The magic within his body had completely vanished, and now all his power originated from the Divine Core.
"Divine power is indeed stronger than magic. Moreover, after undergoing eighty-one rounds of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, my physical strength is far superior even to that of Intermediate Deity powerhouses. This tribulation was well worth it."
As Sylvus was thinking, several figures quickly flew over.
He looked up and saw that it was Boone and the others.
This time, as he faced Boone and the others, Sylvus felt a new sense of detachment.
Previously, he needed the system's buffs to easily eliminate these guys.
But now, he had truly become the strongest on the Ezlar Continent.
With his own power, he could wipe them out.
"Congratulations, boss, on breaking through."
Boone and the others arrived before Sylvus, respectfully offering their congratulations.
They were still shaken by the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation that Sylvus had summoned.
With their power, they would have been obliterated by the first bolt of lightning.
"Is the main cannon ready?"
Sylvus looked at Ronald and asked.
"Boss, it's ready, and it has already been tested with no issues. I will bring it to you tomorrow."
Ronald replied hastily.
Sylvus nodded. Once the main cannon was delivered, he could consider heading to the Divine Realm.
"If there's nothing else, leave. In two days, the Ezlar Continent will have Divine Power."
Sylvus said, waving them away.
Hearing this, the three of them lit up.
They were about to ask more, but saw Sylvus walking downstairs.
They exchanged glances and dared not say anything more, leaving immediately.
Sylvus returned to his room and directly opened the system to check on the update issue just mentioned.
