Chapter 226: Cosmic Mode Activated

Listen While Reading:

-----

I had summoned a Voidling, a powerful servant of the Seamless Abyss, which the Gauntlet made from his eye allowed me to do once I gathered ten thousand Abyssal Energy. It wasn’t hard to gather, but after taking all those hits from the androids so far, I had just enough to summon it.

I am not even sure how strong that thing is; it might be as strong as an S-Rank Monster or higher, but I can tell their powers are somewhat restricted. Nonetheless, the set of abilities they possess make up for any weaker or nerfed stats they could have.

After all, the ability to fully manipulate the element of Void is no trifling matter. Even less with its shapeless, tentacled body, which can trap foes with them, and which has red eyes capable of firing Void Beams with ease.

Just like right now.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Three Void Beams impacted the fused robot as it tried to escape, blowing up two of its legs again. Their bodies collapsed. In anger, the robot channeled its powers; two enormous palms made of darkness and light impacted the Voidling, pushing it dozens of meters away.

BAAAM!

It had taken damage; its body was covered by a huge scar in the shape of two palms. Yet slowly, it all recovered back to its normal form, its body immediately expanding, completely out of darkness. The tentacles immediately attempted to catch the robot, but it knew its way of attacking. The robot quickly leaped away and then directed its spear-like arms towards me.

Blinding golden light and dark shadows were charged through them, and four powerful beams were fired towards me. It knew I had summoned it and quickly attempted to blast me.

I turned invisible again and disappeared, evading the incoming beams as I gathered Blood Essence and Demonic Ki around my body.

This was the effect of the Demonic Stigma inside my Shield. Because I had taken so much damage, all of that damage was now becoming a shield, an armor of protection.

My blood, all the lost life force.

[You have lost a large quantity of Blood and Life Force. The [Demonic Stigma: Blood Protection] has been automatically activated.]

[All the Blood and Life Force you’ve lost have been transformed into a Protective Shield around your body! Your Total Defenses have increased by +200% and your Damage Taken has been reduced by 50% for 5 Minutes.]

Yeah, it was pretty good, but it demanded a lot of my life force be taken away to activate. And it lasted for as little as five minutes. But it was good enough to clash against this damn thing. It was incredibly fast—super-fast, in fact.

However, it wasn’t the toughest thing alive. As long as we can keep it still and gang on it, this should be over faster than one could imagine.

But the problem is, how do we stop it? Not even the Voidling’s tentacles could. So the best thing I can do right now is bait it to hit us and then grab it with the Voidling helping me.

The rest of my Familiars and the Death Apostles are already here, but because that damned thing is so fast, they can’t even hit it.

FLASH!

It’s coming.

“EXTERMINATE.”

As I revealed myself to it, its flashing eyes quickly directed to me. In a split second, its entire body weighted me down as I put my shield in front of me.

CLASH!

The immense weight it exerted was as if I were being pushed down by the heavens themselves. Its Heavenly Powers were released completely, light and darkness becoming one as its aura kept surging.

“PERISH.”

Its spear-like arms, the four remaining ones, started hitting the shield constantly, attempting to shatter it. The shield’s durability was really high, but it was quickly going down with each blow. I constantly attacked it back, Gram and the Nameless Axe-Sword unable to hit it once as it now erected an armor around its body made out of its own crystalized aura.

Goddamn it!

FLASH!

Ah!

The shield started to glow with bright gold and black light.

Now or never.

“{Divine Heavenly Harmony Dragon’s Breath}”

In a split second, the dragon head over the shield seemed to have come to life. A mighty draconic roar bellowed everywhere as the shield erupted with golden light and flames.

“ROOOAARR!”

“Ugh...!”

I felt completely dizzy. I couldn’t help but feel like my brains were about to explode out of my head. This bastard was way too strong, way too powerful! If only I could use my Mana freely, I could have unleashed more of my attacks and skills!

“Dammit!”

Furious, I imbued my body with Cosmic Energy, which I was trying to save, and quickly underwent a transformation. I activated my [Cosmic Transcendent] Skill. My appearance changed, my wounds were instantly healed, and my skin seemed to merge with the cosmos. My hair grew long and blue-colored, with golden stars shining within it.

The robot suddenly stepped back in shock at what it saw, but then attacked anyway. A dozen giant golden and dark palms attacked me at once. However, I wasn’t the same as before, as my Cosmic Energy was being drained with every second. I was totally different!

[You have undergone the {Cosmic Transcendence Transformation}! You have gained the ability to conjure Spacetime and Starlight Magic without Mana, All Stats have increased by +700%, Decreases Damage Taken by -40%, and Increases Skill and Magic Damage by +200% when using Cosmic Energy.]

[Additionally, you have gained the power of activating {Constellation’s Aura} based on the user’s Divinities, which can be further utilized through {Cosmic Transcendent Arts}!]

[100 Cosmic Energy are being drained every second.]

I have to do this quickly if I don’t want all my Cosmic Energy to go down the gutter!

“{Constellation Aura}!”

FLAAASH!

An Aura of the Cosmos erupted from my body; it immediately clashed against the robot’s strongest techniques, nullifying them completely and making them disappear. At the same time, I saw the cat’s eyes flash brightly, and a cube-shaped barrier appeared around us, sealing me and the robot inside.

“Nice, this is perfect! So the bastard won’t ever dare escape now!”

“HUH?!”

The robot immediately attempted to break out of the barrier the cat had conjured, but it was futile. It was not breaking at all! It swiftly evaded one of my incoming blows, a simple swing of Gram loaded with my Constellation Aura.

SLAAASH!

“HAH, STILL SLOW!”

However, that slowness didn’t matter anymore. Space itself twisted around; the distance between my attack and the robots’ movements was immediately cut down.

This was the power to manipulate Space itself, even stronger than Jeremias.

“AH?!”

The robot could only watch in utter disbelief as my attack landed; half its body was immediately split apart.

“Did you call me slow?!”

Even after having boosted my stats by 700%, I was still slow against him!

Yet with my Space Magic, that wasn’t an issue anyway.

“{Thousand Blades}: {Four Cardinal Stars}!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The illusion of four cardinal stars appearing above the robot flashed within a second. The robot attempted to fight back, clouds of black and white color surging from its body and hitting me.

Yet there was no damage dealt, and the cardinal stars started flashing brightly.

“It’s over.”

“GUH?!”

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Four slashes were unleashed, each one charged with dozens of slashing attacks from Thousand Blades at once.

The robot’s entire body was split into dozens of pieces.

“IMPO... SSIBLE... ER... RROR...”

BOOOM!
