Chapter 975 Slipstream

Chapter 975 Slipstream

Once the toxic gaseous planet had been transformed into pure energy and absorbed, Michael reached the Late rank of Tier-7. He felt much stronger than before, but that was evident. Every bit of progress would elevate his combat prowess drastically and allow the God Curses to unleash more of their Divinity without fearing that their power output would kill Michael by accident.

Michael was unsure if reaching Late Tier-7 was within his expectations because the planet he'd absorbed had been massive and infused with several times the amount of mana other planets contained. Still, his progress was much faster than the norm. It took his Energy Vortex only a few months and constant use of the Soullife Arts, Unlimited Enhancement, to complete. Taking that into consideration, as well as the lack of punishment or the aftermath from the Galaxy or the Supreme Human Alliance, Michael devoured a few more planets. Jormungandr might have told Michael how much better it would be to save up more of his Divinity to fight the Primal, but Michael's counter was simple.

"If I can advance to Tier-8 before we encounter a Primal, Fenrir and Hel can unleash more of their Divinity through me without having me killed. Each of my Soultraits will be several times stronger than they're right now, and your Serpent Seals will push Primordial Vessel to another level. My physical prowess alone will be enough to push me close to the norms of a Tier-9 Demi-God. Adding my Divinities, Soullife Arts, Perfect Soul Techniques, Aethyr, the Nature Heart, and the versatility of my Soultrait Symbols into account, I should have a much better chance dealing with a Primal once I advance to Tier-8."

Jormungandr wanted to say something, but Michael didn't let him. This time, Michael wanted things to go his way.

Besides swallowing planets and waiting for a response from the Supreme Human Alliance, Michael killed many stupid enemies. They deployed a few Divine Lifeforms and entire armies of Higher Lifeforms, but none of them was aimed at him. The forces had been stationed near him whenever he did something, and he killed them.

Two years was enough to accumulate 'a few' Soultrait Symbols and SoulStar Fragments. In fact, Michael had more than enough reserves even after pushing Death Call, Seer, and Cosmic Stride to 9-Star. Death Call and Seer didn't evolve upon advancing to 9-Star, but Cosmic Stride evolved to Slipstream. In Michael's opinion, the name was a little weird, but its power was terrifying – for his enemies, at least.

Michael could silently slip through space, teleporting to every location he was in since he upgraded the Soultrait to 9-Star. That weren't many places, at first, but by traveling through the Novix Galaxy and invading some places of the Genox Galaxy before traveling to the Nest and various other places, Michael expanded the range of his Slipstream teleportations drastically.

Once Death Call reached 9-Star, Michael traveled through the galaxies and changed his movement. He remembered all places with Slipstream and traveled with the Compass Relic through galaxies. That consumed a tremendous amount of energy, but Michael was fine with that. He could use the Death Authority from Hel and chose to do so as much as possible to form the Death Divinity Seed as quickly as possible.

Playing with Death was...fun, to a certain degree, at least. The Death Authority was difficult to control, but Michael had Hel, the Goddess of Death and Empress of all Undead. She taught Michael a lot and showed him what he could do in the future. Hel killed the Hyumans of an entire planet as an example. She transformed the entire planet into a dead star, which pushed Michael to the 8th Tier before he could react. He was at the 8th Tier, granting Hel more leeway to use her Divinity. Thus, the inhabitants of the dead star were all transformed into Undead, torn apart and weaved together...transforming massive Undead Titans with the dying star that she'd removed from the dying planet before it transformed into a dead star. The Undead Titans were stronger than normal Divine Lifeforms. They regenerated almost all damages and could barely be killed if someone with powerful holy powers – of a Demi God's level or Divinities were used. The Undead Titans were stored away and released into one of the inner Galaxies of the Supreme Human Alliance, where they wreaked havoc. Every death strengthened the Undead Titans...and Michael's Death Divinity Seed.

It grew at a ridiculous pace, enticing Hel, who was excited. After all, her Divinity Seed was bound to be the first to blossom as long as the Undead Titans continued wreaking havoc.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
