Shuttling Between the Two Worlds

Chapter 103: I knew it… [2]



"I'm breaking through. Please watch the time for me, Senior Light."

"Ah-alright."

A prompt popped up as I tried to break through EX- Rank. After tapping all 5 statuses at the same time, a prompt appeared.

[Breaking through the EX- Rank will cost 1.5B EXP. Continue?]

My attention went towards a loading prompt of the system for a while before I clicked 'Continue.'

Crack!

With my [A Reader's Perspective] and mental powers, I saw my body full of cracks, just like a vase that's about to break into pieces. Meanwhile, it transmitted a powerful sensation as well.

Weirdly enough, I don't feel pain. The only thing that I felt is... pleasure?

I feel very pleasant right now as if I am in a very relaxing place. I let those sensations dominate my body since I felt that it'll be very helpful in my breakthrough.

I sensed that the parts of my body that were filled with cracks fell apart and turned into light particles. Moreover, I can sense that my body is becoming stronger as time passes by.

Not long after, I can sense that my body is now completely made up of laws, though it was just replacing my normal body with a law body.

[Requirements met. The trait [Law Body] has been created.]

[The trait [Law Body] and [Demon Dragon God Physique] are merging!]

The Law Body trait.. This is the reason why the gap between Demigods and Law Realms existed.

Starting from Demigod Realm, cultivation becomes different. You'll need to do one thing in order to break through: Perfect your 'Law Body'.

As you store more Law energies inside yourself, your body changes. If it has adapted completely to the Law energies, you'll satisfy one of the prerequisites of Deity Realm. This also enables you to evolve traits into Embryonic Domains.

With that, I left my realm to EX- Rank.

[The trait [Demon Dragon Deific Body] has been created.]

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, senior."

"We can already spar properly.."

"It seems so."

I saw Senior Light's eyes glow up in excitement. What a battle junkie..

"How many minutes had passed?"

"2 minutes."

5 more minutes..

"Why do I feel that you're rushing? There's no need to do so."

Leader Irna spoke to me. My other groupmates nodded in succession as if they were curious as to why I'm like this.

"We're on a battlefield. I just felt that I should become stronger as a precaution."

This time, I sensed the eyes of everyone here twitched as if saying "How the hell can he get stronger just by wanting it?"

But this time, they are all wrong. The panel made it possible for me to do that.

Looking at it...

It felt as if I was dreaming. 2 weeks ago, I killed a strange Peak Demigod and received 8B EXP. Now, I killed 8 Low-Rank Deities and received nearly 450B EXP.

It's surreal. I've read many light novels before and only some of them had a huge power-up like this. Usually, they gain their strength step by step. Only some started as an overpowered protagonist.

And yes, most of those overpowered protagonists were unbearable to read.

'45B.. Aside from the techniques, I should choose some traits to max out.'

At LV10, one could add that trait to their Embryonic Domain already. Still, it becomes different once a trait reaches 'LVMAX'. It can be used as a pseudo-authority already.

[Damage Offset] evolves to Nullification Authority later on so this is important. [Darkness Control] is amplified by my deific body.

It's all set. I clicked the two of them and opted to upgrade.

Intense fluctuations came from me as 2 of my traits started evolving into the pseudo-authority level. The laws of darkness and nullification condensed here and started going inside my body. To be more exact, to the traits within me.

"There's still more?!"

One of Ms. Vera's subordinates yelled out in shock. Still, no one else reacted, as if they were already tired of seeing this. I, as well, am tired of their exclamations.

It took a minute for my current aura to stabilize. My now long brown hair stopped swaying, too. I found it quite annoying due to the fact that I'm not used to having it.

Having short hair is still the best.

I trimmed down my hair to normal using some sword intent. Meanwhile, I checked the effect of these pseudo-authorities.

I didn't test it out on the ship, but only sensed it.

I felt that it became wholly different. It has the 'absoluteness' in it, which is higher than a law. With it, I can now exert a much greater control over the world's laws to help me fight. Perhaps this is the true nature of authorities.

I mentally calculated the time and found out that there's only 1 minute remaining.

I rushed to upgrade my 'understanding' of a useful God-Rank technique to <<Mastery>>. I only have 5B EXP, which means that I can only upgrade a single technique.

Well, do I even need to choose?

I upgraded <<Sword of Destruction>> to <Mastery> level. A brand new understanding of it appeared inside my head, allowing me to unleash a stronger power than before.

It now consumed all of my Heaven's Force reserves as well.

A desperate blow, huh? Why do I feel that I've fought more battles for only a minute than a protracted one? Did I get too used to my 'Super State'?

I snapped back to reality as I recalled Xiao Song and Little Xue and asked them to go into their armament form again. In an instant, my momentum rose to EX+ Rank, the Peak Demigod Realm.

'This feels too great! We'll be the ones who does the beat down now, right? Right?'

'I wish. Our enemies are now the Deities.'

'Eh?'

"Fuck!"

"What's wrong?"

"I got spied! My authority won't work anymore!"

Then, the sensation of being rejected into this dimension appeared. With a blink, they're back in the main dimension.

"Sigh.. It seems that we'll use the countermeasures."

""Understood!""

'So things don't go as they've planned as well? We're all poor fellows.'

Their determination burned as zergs slowly surrounded our fast-moving ship.
