Chapter 1050 Sacrifices

Forcefully entering the minds of the gods around him was evil, but it provided Michael with the information he needed to move forward. Not only did he find out which gods were part of the Primal Pantheon, but he also learned about their powers, thoughts, and generally what had happened.

"To think you guys were busy fighting for almost two decades. That's impressive," Michael commented, ignoring the thoughts flashing through his mind.

[And embarrassing. That is what you wanted to add. It is impressive and embarrassing.] Fenrir growled in agreement. [Since when is father so weak? I wasn't much stronger than him when I was at my peak, but to think father has gotten this rusty...that's actually embarrassing.]

[I don't like the way Fenrir words this, but I agree. Why are they so weak? A few Rebels are missing, while almost all gods of the Primal Pantheon are still alive. Even your healing won't change the tide of the battlefield.] Jormungandr added, only for Hel to shake her head.

[I can sense the dead Rebels.] Just as Hel's words resounded, Michael sensed them as well. He taped into the Death Authority and combined Death with the Soul Grimoire to reach out. The death of the gods oozed from them and entered Michael's body, where they integrated into his system. The Deaths fused into him and enhanced him, slowly pushing his Energy Vortex to the Peak of TIer-9. The process was rather slow at first but accelerated quickly.

The Primal Pantheon's gods noticed the massive flood of energy entering Michael's body and responded with a barrage of attacks. However, the Rebels blocked all attacks long before the enemy attacks reached Michael.

"You better be fast. The Beast God Cycle won't last long now that the Primal must have sensed our presence amid the weave. It was probably only for a few seconds, but they know it now. We will help you as much as we can, but stalling everyone for two decades was exhausting. You better act fast and decisively. The Primal will not give you much time!"

Michael was unsure what exactly happened, but that uncertainty lasted only for a moment. He read Loki's mind via 10-Star Mind Watcher only to realize what the Rebels had done and how much they relied on him and his actions in the next few minutes.

[They depend on you for...everything. The future of the universe will be decided in the next few minutes. How do you feel? Are you happy? Stressed out? Overjoyed?] 'Shut up, Fenrir!' Michael cursed before using Curse Fusion with the God Curses Divinities. His body bulged as the serpent scale amor grew all over his body. However, instead of looking dark green like before, the serpent-scale armor was pitch-black with vibrant green frames. The vibrant green frames fused into the serpent scales and looked like vividly pulsating veins that granted the scales life. That was what it felt like to Michael, who channeled Jormungandr's Power, Authority, and Nature Divinity through them.

The right side of his body wasn't as lively as the left side. The frames were deadly pale, and his right eye looked like someone had blinded him centuries ago. The Death Authority was overflowing from his right side and oozed from every inch of his body – only the right side, of course. His hair expanded, his teeth grew sharper and longer, and his left eye transformed into the golden eye of a deadly predator. His fingers transformed into deadly claws, and massive fangs burst through his knuckles. The serpent tail of the World Serpent burst through the serpent scale armor, which regenerated rapidly, covering the serpent tail with a second layer of protection.

Michael was about to move when golden liquid trickled through the minuscule openings of the serpent-scale armor. That was a surprise, yet it could also be used to his advantage. Michael solidified the Extraction Essence before ushering the God Curses to grant him as much power as possible. Simultaneously, he annexed and nurtured the Death and Essences of the gods who had sacrificed themselves for this very moment. Micahel was still unsure if their sacrifices had been worth it, but he would certainly not question them aloud and humiliate them in death. On the contrary, Michael embraced their Death and Essence to acquire as much of their power as possible. He would certainly need as much power as possible against the Primal.

That much was certain.
