Chapter 169 Part 1: Absorbing Uroboros’ Myth
-----
Ding!
[You have slain the Demonic Throne, {The Snake That Endlessly Devours Its Tail: Uroboros}!]
[An incredible feat! You have killed a Constellation while being a {Player} of the {First Awakening}!]
[You have earned a gigantic amount of EXP. The proper number cannot be shown due to its height and the current version of the System.]
[The System will be able to update itself once the {Second Awakening} begins.]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[...]
[Your Level has increased from Level 70 to Level 80!]
[All of your Stats have increased. You gained Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]
[You have reached Max Level.]
[You can now access the Job Class and Subclass Advancement Trial whenever you want.]
[The Trial will have its difficulty increased based on how strong you have grown.]
Oof, that’s not going to be easy, isn’t it?
The previous Trials were already challenging to the core, and I have no idea how much harder they’ll get once they calculate that I killed a damn Constellation into the equation!Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
[You have absorbed the Cosmic Soul Fragments of the Demonic Throne {The Snake That Endlessly Devours Its Tail: Uroboros}!]
[Your {Cosmic Heart} has absorbed the Cosmic Soul Fragments successfully!]
[A Special Evolution has been triggered within your {Cosmic Heart}!]
[The former Grade of Rank 0: Cosmic Dust has been upgraded to Rank 1: Novice Star (Initial Stage)!]
[You gained +5.000 Cosmic Energy.]
[All Stats have increased by +1.000.]
The Cosmic Soul Fragments were enough to help me advance the Rank of my Cosmic Heart?!
A Cosmic Heart is an organ inside every Constellation, the source of their power, which melds with their Cosmic Soul into the Dao Roots, Dao Branch, and then the Traits that pop from them, which are exuded as Radiance.
This means that my Dao Root and Dao Branch...!
[Your {Phantom Dao Root} has begun its rapid development due to the presence of a Rank 1 Novice Star Cosmic Aura.]
[Cosmic Energy is being absorbed to further improve its size and power.]
Within the depths of my Soul, I felt the phantom-looking Dao Root settle down much deeper, growing larger, although it had yet to create proper branches.
Because it wasn’t a Real Dao Root, but a Phantom Dao Root, it couldn’t exude its true strength until I ascended into a Constellation by gathering enough Stories to create a proper Epic.
There was a beautiful fruit surging from a root; it glowed with cosmic light, but it couldn’t quite form yet. It was most likely a new Trait!
[A New Trait has begun developing... Please continue forming your Epic for the Trait to fully develop into a new Ability.]
[The Surplus Cosmic Energy left has refined your Physique.]
[Your [Physique]: [Twelve Colored Stars Physique (Tier 2: Rank 7)] has grown to Tier 2: Rank 10!]
[You gained +300 Ki!]
[Your [Physique] can now be Ranked Up.]
[The power of Uroboros Traits has become yours.]
[You acquired the Absorbed Trait [Tail-Eating Snake (Epic Grade)]!]
[The Grade of the Absorbed Trait cannot surpass the limits of Grades of the User.]
[The Real Grade is {Mythic}, but it has been temporarily sealed to {Epic}!]
[There are two other Traits which have been temporarily sealed: [Devouring Gaze (Mythic Grade)] and [Cunning Viper (Mythic Grade)]
[To unlock the Traits, cultivate Cosmic Energy and grow stronger.]
Wait, I’m getting his Traits too?! I thought that wasn’t-
RUMBLE!
I felt an enormous power surging from my soul. One of the Phantom Dao Roots was forcefully stretched, absorbing a dark red essence, and turning into a monstrous demonic snake.
“SHAAAH!”
Uroboros swallowed the Demon King, its power rising even further, surpassing the levels of even Death Apostles.
And then, several messages appeared.
[The {Hidden Scenario: Rising of the Devourer of Worlds} has been completed.]
[You have devoured all life from Hell 999!]
[Your Epic has fully evolved into a Legend!]
[Your Soul has ascended into a Cosmic Soul!]
[Your Cosmic Soul has become one with the Cosmos, another Star amidst countless ones.]
[You are now a Constellation.]
[The Hell 999 World has begun to slowly be digested by the Void Rulers.]
[The Cosmic Throne {Chaotic King of Brutality} is overjoyed.]
[He invites you to sit at the side of his throne.]
[However, to reach that throne, you must first dethrone another.]
“Lord Luciferrr...” Uroboros smiled. “I shall sit at your side... Yesss... No matter what!”
Uroboros transformed into a gigantic beast, evolving into a Constellation as its Epic was fully developed into a Legend, the Snake that Eats its own Tail.
It was transported into the Cosmic Valleys, traveled across countless stars, devouring more worlds by bringing Calamities to them following the Awakenings and Scenarios, and eventually...
It reached the Realm Beyond, where it met Fenrir and various other “underdog” Constellations trying to make an uprising.
He acted friendly to gain their trust, and when it was finally time, he betrayed his friends, allowed Fenrir to be sealed and become a Fallen Constellation, and defeated Beelzebub, gaining the throne of the Archdemon of Gluttony.
“GYAHAHAHAHA!”
His laughter echoed through the visions until they broke down into screams of agony. His Myth, which had evolved from a Legend, came to an end when he overstepped his boundaries and didn’t think about the consequences of his actions.
Well, seeing how he lived, he never truly did. It was born with power, sponsored by nobody else but Lucifer, and always devouring and bloating itself with anything it found.
It never learned what defeat truly was—or to be weak.
Uroboros lack of experience might have become its greatest weakness.
Once the vision ended, I opened my eyes within Neberius Soul Scape, which had stopped falling apart because I used my Cosmic Aura to hold it still.
Ding!
[You have fully watched the {Myth of the Snake that Bites its Own Tail}!]
[The {Myth} have been fragmented into two halves; you have absorbed one.]
[Your {Epic} is beginning to develop even further.]
[However, the shell to contain it is far too weak, and the restrictions of the {First Awakening} are weighing down your development.]
[To further develop and unseal these powers, grow stronger.]
Yeah, yeah, now give me the goodies; I know there’s more than that.
Ding!
[You have received [Half of Uroboros Cosmic Corpse (??? Grade)] x1!]
[You have received [Crystalized Cosmic Soul Shard (??? Grade)] x1!]
[You gained +100.000 Plot Points.]
[You received the Title: [Constellation Slayer]!]
[You learned the Skill: [Demonic Snake’s Gluttony (SSS): Lv1]!]
[The High Administrators have been closely watching you.]
[They have temporarily closed the channels allowing Constellations to send you sponsorships, gifts, or messages.]
[They have invited you to a private meeting.]
[Accept?]
[Yes] [No]
This message, when it was received, felt strange.
It was as if time itself had slowed down to an incredible pace.
I felt a huge pressure as powerful eyes gazing at me from Higher Dimension oversaw my every move.
It wasn’t as if I had any options here.
“Yes.”
[You have accepted the private meeting.]
[Teleporting the user’s consciousness to the Private Meeting Room.]
FLASH!
