Chapter 394: Chapter 392:Curtain Falls...

[DING!]

[Rank up successful..]

[DING!]

[You have ranked up..]

[B -> A]

[All stats increase by 15x...]

I just looked at the messages in utter frustration.

All that exploding and reforming, just to have stats that had already flatlined increase by a fifteen times multiplier? How do you multiply a figure that isn’t set? Eyy?

"Dumbass system." I spat in exhaustion, before pushing the notifications aside, finally free to check what I had been wanting to earlier...

[DING!]

[MYTHIC] <Divine Seraphim Body>:-

A physique forged from the essence of the Seraphim, granting its bearer an inherently divine body capable of harmonizing with celestial energy and resisting hostile forces.

Abilities:

[Passive] Seraphic Wings:- Five pairs of divine wings manifest naturally behind the bearer. They vastly enhance movement, divine energy control, and dimensional traversal.

DivinePhysique:- Greatly enhances physical strength, durability, regeneration, and resistance to energy and Law-based attacks.

CelestialAuthority:- Naturally suppresses weaker divine beings while granting resistance against foreign Laws, curses, and corruption.

DivineResonance:- Allows the bearer to absorb, refine, and manipulate divine energy with exceptional efficiency.

HeavenlyPurification:- Automatically purifies hostile energies, curses, corruption, and other foreign forces that invade the body.

SeraphicAscension:- Temporarily unlocks the physique’s deeper potential, massively amplifying the bearer’s divine energy, physical attributes, and Seraphic Wings.

.....

My eyes immediately locked onto the first entry.

Seraphic Wings!

"There you are.." I smiled and then...

FWOOOOSHHHH!!!

Five pairs of dark feathered wings with golden tips appeared behind me.

With each spanning a length of almost twenty feet wide when spread, they looked just as magnificent as I had imagined they would look on me.

"Perfect."

I could go home now and be totally satisfied.

"But, there was more..."

[DING!]

[MYTHIC] <Radiant Celestial Bloodline>:-

A bloodline carrying the pure radiance of the Celestial race, granting its bearer immense affinity with divine essence and the laws of light, order, and purification. It enhances both the body and soul while allowing the bearer to wield radiant power far beyond ordinary Celestials.

Abilities:

Radiant Essence:- Generates and manipulates highly condensed divine radiance.

Celestial Purification:- Burns away corruption, curses, chaotic energies, and hostile influences.

Divine Resonance:- Greatly amplifies the user’s affinity with divine laws and techniques.

Radiant Dominion:- Allows the user to exert control over surrounding divine essence, strengthening their abilities within celestial environments.

Heavenly Regeneration:- Rapidly restores the body and soul through divine energy.

Lightforged Soul:- Grants exceptional resistance against soul attacks, mental interference, corruption, and spiritual destruction.

Celestial Ascendance:- Temporarily elevates the bloodline’s output, massively increasing the user’s physical and divine capabilities.

....

Same as the physique. It was heavily aligned with things tied to light and positivity in general.

"Hmmm... makes one wonder if there was truly such a concept of good and bad laws, or negative and positive spectrums for the laws?" There probably was.

Since something like darkness wouldn’t exist on the same spectrum as light.

Now whether people treated wielders of laws differently due to the type of laws they comprehended, just like they did with talents back on Terra, was something I was still unclear of. I have yet to encounter enough law users that I wasn’t turning to mush to come to any definitive conclusions.

"Alright, then. Moving on."

Spend more time on the bloodline and physique? When I’ve already gotten my wings? Yea, hard pass. I’ll take my time with it later, as for now...

[DIVINE] <Absorption and Reflection>:-

A Divine Aspect that allows the user to absorb, preserve, and return any form of attack, whether physical, spiritual, conceptual, or Law-based.

[Absorption]:- Absorbs incoming attacks, converting their power into stored energy within the user.

[Repose]:- Preserves absorbed power. The longer an attack remains stored, the greater its eventual potency becomes.

[Reflection]:- Releases stored power, returning it to its original target or directing it toward any chosen destination.

...

That was all. No paragraphs explaining things I was probably never going to use in this lifetime.

Just three simple-to-understand applications.

Absorb. Preserve. Return.

And yet, it was those three applications that make this ability an absolutely broken ability.

With the fact that it already emphasized that Any Form Of Attack, not any particular type, but all forms of attacks could be contained and returned? Beautiful.

That would explain how the Celestial had been able to return even strikes backed by Inevitability itself back at me.

But then, my eyes locked in on the second application.

[Repose].

It was probably the most critical to determining how useful this thing would be in someone’s hands.

With the ability to store your opponent’s attack for however long you could, then dishing it back many times stronger...

"I wonder why that Celestial had been reflecting the attacks nigh instantaneously?" I suddenly found it very curious.

If he could store the attacks, then why not do so? Why use them that quickly? And only occasionally shooting out three times as powerful attacks?

"Or, could it be?" The shield and sword. That had to be it.

What if the shield and sword weren’t part of the ability toolkit, but merely things used to aid him in better using them?

"That would explain a lot..." He wasn’t the one taking my attacks. It was all his shield. It must’ve been some divine soul weapon or something. So the reason he could absorb my attacks and only reflect them instantly was because he couldn’t store up the attacks even if he wanted to.

"Only one way to find out if I’m right.." I stood, folding my wings behind me as I turned to the furball.

"Hey, Paku!"

"Huh? Absolute? What is it?"

"I need you to punch..."

"My pleasure!!" I hadn’t even finished speaking before the overexcited fucker struck, his arm enlarging to disproportionate size and then...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!

His fist hit me. Hard.

CRAAAACKKKKK!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

His pain-filled scream echoed through the region as his arm became mangled from the attack.

"AAAABBBSSSSOLUTTEE!!!" Ignoring the raging furball, I focused on the sensation within me.

I had activated the ability the moment Paku struck. The force from his entire attack having been absorbed, and finally kept somewhere within me.

I could feel it. The rampaging force from the attack going wild within me, wanting to escape by any means. With every second it was held, raising the attack’s potency exponentially.

"So, I was right." That was why the Celestial couldn’t store the energy from my attacks.

His shield might’ve been able to bear the brunt of them, but his own body was incapable of holding down such an amount of power, hence leading to him discharging it as fast as possible.

"Disappointing." I shook my head.

Such a beautiful ability, wasted because the person that received it was pathetic, but..

"Now you’re mine." I smiled as I clenched my fist. Using what I considered my last basal strength, I punched out, letting the stored energy within me out, and then...

THOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!

The abyss, if it could speak, would probably be cussing me out right now, as I leveled the newly fixed region.

"Not bad." I nodded in satisfaction. I was sure to have a lot of fun with this one.

"Now then, what next?" I asked out loud.

"Master! If you’re not busy anymore, could you tell me what I shall do with this one?" Shulvan appeared before me in a kneeling position, by his side, the figure of Kolen’kul.

"Ahh... this guy was still here. Well, no use wasting good food." I shrugged before...

"Devour.."

<<DING!>>

<<DEVOURING IN PROGRESS...>>

I waved aside the notifications as I turned toward the others, finally done.

"Alright guys. What next?"

"What next?" Leo began, his form shrinking, "what next is we finally go home. I think I’ve had enough of the abyss for this lifetime..."

********

A/N: And with that, the abyss arc finally comes to a close. Well, it’ll close fully in the next Chapter, but that one will only be a bridge Chapter so, what did you guys think? A good arc? A bad arc? Let me know your thoughts and as always...
