Chapter 809 Divine Crisis

"Oh?" Draco noticed that the Seal of Babylon began to glow when it entered his palm, while the Seal of Camelot that had long fused into the chestplate of his armor did the same.

While one was the motif of a lion, the other was that of a staunch tower. Draco saw the two emblems shake violently, making it seem as if they were going to reject each other, so he was positively surprised to eventually see them settle down without a fight.

Alas, there was no prompt from the system informing him that the two Divine items could fuse. If such a thing happened, the result would either be a Semi-Origin or an Origin item right away, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, there was nothing Draco could do about that. After all, both items might be Seals, but apart from that they had hardly anything to do with each other. Camelot and Babylon were too far apart in eras, lore and power wise.

Whatever the case, the Seal of Babylon merged with Draco just like the Seal of Camelot had. This time, instead of his chest, it manifested over his back, specifically in between his shoulder blades.

The symbol of a tower engraved itself on his armor, looking quite intriguing and majestic. At that moment, Draco could feel himself develop a strong and intimate connection with the Tower.

From a mere challenger, he had gone to the owner and controller of this Tower. What surprised him was that there was much left to discover about it that had not been listed in the details of the Seal nor mentioned by Moira.

For one, Draco discovered that the source of Divine Energy in the Tower wasn't naturally generated nor leaking from any Divine Being like in Norma's Treasury, but because there was a direct passage to the Divine Realm from the 99th floor!

Once one reached the final step, they weren't supposed to come here. They would rather enter this Divine passageway and be baptized by the pure Divine Energies of the Divine Realm, allowing their bodies to undergo metamorphosis and become True Gods.

Draco was shocked by this, but as he looked more on it, he calmed down. As expected, there was a big fat limitation.

Firstly, not anyone could turn into a True God just by entering. They had to be at the pinnacle of Rank 7, between Level 395-400.

Secondly, they would only be given the State of Being of a True God. In essence, they would sort of be like Hikari, who was Rank 5 but had a Divine Source Origin and State of Being, and so would naturally generate and use Divine Energy, without being able to learn Divine level spells or exhibit the raw combat power of a True God.

Source Origin – Fuel.

Combat Rank – Engine.

It was important to remember this distinction when it came to this split, otherwise one would be confused as to why one was not as good without the other. Once one acquired the Source Origin, though, it was impossible not to get the Combat Rank.

The Divine Energy would slowly cleanse and elevate your body, so climbing the Ranks would be much easier. When you finally got there, breaking through would be like drinking water, since you could absorb your own internal Divine Energy to climb.

Don't forget, NPCs ranked up by absorbing ambient energy and using their talent to rise, whereas players would have to use the Training Hall.

So becoming a True God for a player was harder because you would have to face an Ascension Quest, but NPCs just needed enough energy and the right talent. That was why anyone who entered Draco's Inner Universe no longer wanted to leave.

With the infinite energy present, as long as they reached the threshold, climbing up was not a problem.

Draco hummed as he 'gazed' at the passage through his connection with the tower. He saw that it lead to a strangely barren area in what should be the Divine Realm, specifically to a broken down and desolate palace. There were a few remnants there that told about its once majestic past.

What surprised Draco was that he saw waves of grayish energy corrode the white energy that was Divine Energy, the two sizzling as they collided. When the gray energy sensed the presence of the outlet which was Draco's peeping, it immediately surged over in waves like a tsunami, ignoring the white energy.

Draco's expression changed as he felt the aura of Death and Demise land upon him. Immediately, he roared and channeled the entirety of his 100% bloodline power.

Unlike when he he been at 99% and could barely overclock 2 fusion generators to provide maximum energy, he could now fully overclock all 100 freely!

What did this mean? With just 1 overclocked between him and Eva, they had created the sea route, destroying an entire section of the sea and all the animals within. When Eva had overclocked one of hers, she had created a hive mind which could have ruined the entire Main Plane on its own.

With all hundred, Draco had so much Bloodline Energy bursting through his system that he felt like he could blow up an entire planet!

This wasn't an exaggeration!

If Draco flew into outer space and released all this energy on Earth, it would probably suffer the same fate as Namek!

This was unstoppable power that could not be tamed with ease!

Draco punched out and released all the power, feeling like he had taken a pleasurable piss or dump and had released all the weight in his body. He sighed with comfort and gazed at the aftermath of his blow.

He was shocked and horrified to see that it only managed to knock the gray energy back a bit, before the gray energy overcame this blockade and continued to rush forward.

Draco felt like if this gray energy was allowed to come through the passageway, an unprecedented calamity would befall the Main Plane, surpassing anything the demons could do.

…Crack!

Suddenly, when Draco was filled with despair and could only prepare to unleash another blow of full-powered Bloodline Energy, he heard an audible crack. It seemed the gray energy had some sentience as it paused too, looking around.

They both witnessed the edges of the passageway begin to crack, likely due to the force that Draco had just unleashed. While the gray energy could tank it, the passageway certainly couldn't handle planet-destroying force, even if it wasn't the main target.

The crack began to spread from that point and rapidly spread to all sides of the passageway. Seeing this, Draco was excited, while the gray energy was likely filled with horror. Immediately, an evil screech sounded out as the gray energy rushed to Draco's side of the passageway.

As long as it made it through, this would have nothing to do with it!

"Oh no, you don't!" Draco roared as he immediately shifted into his Black Dragon form. Something that beforehand had required a few seconds of transformation was completed in an instant as his body burned up with potent black energy.

Draco opened his maw and charged up all his Bloodline Energy once more, even going as far to use all his 4 methods of controlling external energy to drag Aetheric Energy into the blast.

With his 100% Bloodline Energy and the energy of Aether, the black mass in his maw condensed and condensed further until it went from black to dark purple.

When the gray energy was about to reach the passageway, Draco's eyes flashed as he fired the orb of Destruction Energy. The moment he did so, he transformed back into a human and had a pale expression, looking tired.

As for the dark purple orb, it struck the gray mass and exploded, sending it flying all the way back to near its side of the passageway. The gray mass of energy had also been significantly thinned, showing the sheer power of Destruction Energy.

This exacerbated the destruction of the passageway as it completely cracked and broke open, revealing a dark void that seemed to encompass all. Seeing this void, Draco's scalp became numb as he felt like something was deathly wrong.

The gray energy was even worse, directly screeching in fear as it was dragged into the void. Draco saw that the broken ends of the passageway on both sides sealed themselves, preventing the void from entering.

This required no input from him and seemed to be a defense mechanism of the world itself. Draco simply stood there numbly as he gazed at the hole where the passageway had been only seconds ago, feeling like he had experienced a lot.

Immediately, he became pensive and began to ponder over what the fuck just happened. He had simply been peeking into a pre-established passageway that provided trickles of Divine Energy for the tower, especially for the last 10 floors.

However, he had witnessed the natural Divine Energy of the Divine Realm be locked in a fight with an opposing and corrosive energy. Not only that, but the opposing energy seemed to be at a slight advantage!

It also had some sentience, as it had sensed his prying eyes and located the passageway, splitting off a portion of its existence to invade downwards!

That's right, that wasn't the whole thing, just a part of it!

Draco shuddered to imagine what the outcome would have been if more had entered. His full power blast using raw Bloodline Energy had merely fazed it slightly. It was only after his transformation into a Black Dragon, channeling his full Bloodline Energy as well as energy into Destruction Energy that it managed to deal significant damage.

However, this still deeply disheartened Draco as it had shown him the limits and problems of his bloodline. It shouldn't be surprising that after their power up, both he and Eva had become more confident and conceited.

After all, they had painlessly gone from full power continent destroying power to full power planet-destroying power, and there was still room for improvement!

Now that he had full control of all bloodline fusion generators, Draco deeply understood the value of Bloodline Energy. It could be said that as long as he existed, he had infinite Bloodline Energy. The production was not a problem, only the output.

He simply had to train himself to be able to output larger quantities of energy within shorter amounts of time, increasing efficiency. This would take no toll on his body and cost nothing from him.

It could be said that the production of Bloodline Energy broke the laws of the Conservation of Energy. He could make an infinite amount, infinite times without needing to sacrifice anything, whether it was internal or external. The energy basically came from 'nowhere'.

Well, now you should understand why Lucifer and co were referred to as Gods and how they could bully the Primordials of this planet.

How the fuck do you fight against unlimited energy?

However, in transforming into a Black Dragon, Draco understood why Lucifer and co did not immediately head to the Gerdo Galaxy when they spawned, but rather stayed on Earth to accumulate power and train before leaving around the Renaissance era.

That was because there was a penalty when converting Bloodline Energy into other energies! When Draco punched out using raw Bloodline Energy, he had felt nothing, and he could most likely release punches like that until the end of time as long as he mastered his timing of energy generation, but the moment he converted it into Destruction Energy, it had taken a massive toll.

Adding the Aetheric Energy hadn't been much of an issue, he usually did this when he previously transformed because his Bloodline Energy could barely maintain the transformation for 10-15 minutes, much less power attacks.

…. Now it seemed like with his infinite Bloodline Energy, he could stay in these transformations forever, but if he wanted to attack, he absolutely needed an external source of energy as using Bloodline Energy was too inefficient and it weakened him.

Draco sighed deeply and planned to share his findings with Eva. There was so much about their hundred percent power up that needed to be explored and cleaned up in order to move forward.

Anyway, Draco focused on the other benefits of the Tower now that the passageway had been dealt with.
