Mystical Journey

Chapter 1364: Incarnation 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Garen used all four of his limbs, all the joints all over his body instantly turning into a storm of attacks. That formidable power and speed burst forth, and he used the shock technique from the Secret Technique users to continuously emit bursts of penetration power in an attempt to destroy the insides of Tiamat’s body.

The Divine Power Shield grew gradually fainter and more distorted. Clear cracks began to appear on it.

Tiamat had been forced back several times now, and when all was said and done, this was still merely an Incarnation of his, so it was incomparable to the strength of his own true Godhead. The White Dragon King’s body was slowly growing unable to keep up, such that he did not even have the power to whip his tail in self-defense. All he could do was take one hit after another, as Garen continuously sent him flying backward over and over again.

“Poisonous Eye!!”

Two more green rays hit the front of Tiamat’s body.

Bam!!

There was an enormous sound, like glass shattering. Tiamat’s body finally collapsed under the pressure, falling apart and exploded instantly.

The limitless golden Divine Power gathered up once more, forming a golden illusion of a dragon.

“Cunning fellow! Don’t think you can get away so easily!!” Tiamat roared furiously.

“Escape?” Garen laughed coldly. “I didn’t keep you busy for so long just to escape in the end!”

Before he even finished speaking, he rushed forward, opening his dragon jaws wide.

Hiss!!

Amidst the loud devouring sounds, he swallowed all that golden Divine Power, completely unafraid of Tiamat’s possible retaliation.

“Without a body as a vessel, even Divine Power can be interrupted by the lowest level Blasphemy Priest.” Garen’s gaze grew colder. His mouth kept on swallowing the large amounts of golden Divine Power.

Tiamat knew that he was at a disadvantage now, and he struggled in frustration and anger, but it was useless. Without a body as a vessel, his Divine Power was as floaty as a lily pad without roots, unable to produce any powerful effects. It just kept being absorbed by Garen at high speeds.

As the devouring continued, his voice became smaller and dimmer.

Garen could sense limitless power coming from the devouring. His body kept expanding and growing like a balloon being inflated, and there was even a faint layer of gold forming on the surface of his body.

‘Devouring Divine Power... Devouring Divine Power... Beginning the strengthening...’

Waves of golden Divine Power were rapidly converted into pure Soul Energy, sinking into Garen’s Soul Ring structure. None of the Divine Power was stored up in order to increase his Divine Persona. Instead, Garen just used all of it to strengthen himself directly.

The texture of the Divine Power was unexpectedly strong, one wisp of the Divine Power, equal in volume, could somehow be converted into two wisps of Soul Energy.

Garen took one last merciless gulp and swallowed the illusory golden dragon before him completely. Without a hint of hesitation, he teleported away from the area, afraid to linger for even a second.

He had devoured all the Divine Power from an entire Incarnation, but Divine Power was not the only thing included in there, there was also something extremely troublesome—a part of the God’s divinity!

Tiamat’s divinity of Domination and Evil Dragons!!

It was only when Garen took that last bite and swallowed the entire Incarnation that he knew just how much he had lucked out this time. This divinity was as complete as roughly one-third of the true divinity, so he just to derive some things slightly and complete it, then he would able to form a complete Divine Persona of Evil Dragons and Domination in no time at all!

In the battlefields of the Eastern Empire

Countless flaming meteors fell from the sky, dying the sky a shade of blood-red.

Eerily, the earth beneath the flaming meteors was a sea of frozen ice. Countless blocks of ice rapidly formed Ice Elemental Giants that stood up from the ground and roared angrily into the sky.

Waves chock full of countless Void Creatures kept surging out of the many distorted purple Void Crevices. From a distance, it looked like a chute channeling rubbish as Void Creatures of all colors, creatures that could not be named, surged madly into the battlefield. They were completely unafraid of death, and under the leadership of the Demon Kings, they rushed towards the Ice Element as well as the landing spot of the flaming meteors.

On one end of the battlefield, there was a tower covered with white bone spikes. At the top of this tower, a rich-looking wife dressed in a pitch-black long dress and wearing crescent-shaped dangling earrings was looking down calmly at the battlefield where almost a million lives were killing each other.

Three large and strange monsters floated in the air behind her.

The first was a giant Three-Headed Wild Boar, the second was a white sphere that looked like a circle, but also had a clear human face on its surface.

The third was a platinum-colored metallic spraying machine, but its top half was a cow whereas its bottom half was styled after a robot. It seemed to be a powerful existence from a technological civilization.

These three powerful presences floated behind her back, watching the enormous battlefield below as well.

“Have you found him?” asked the rich lady, frowning.

“No,” said the Three-Headed Wild Boar in a deep and low voice, shaking his head. “There were no traces of the Child of Hell’s aura, it looks like he’s pretty darn good at hiding...”

“You must look beyond the surface,” said the Balloon Man with a smile.

“Do you mean you got a lead?” said the Wild Boar unhappily.

“Of course I don’t, but we have Kar, don’t we?” The White Balloon looked at the last member, the Bull-Headed Robot.

“I’ve scanned the whole area and found 132 suspicious points. Three of them may be searched,” said the Bull-Headed Robot in a low voice.

“Do it.” The rich lady glanced at him. “You’re the expert at this.”

“Understood.” The Bull-Headed Robot nodded and took one step forward.

Psst!

His arm actually pierced right through the space in front of him, wriggling into a crevice that had opened up vertically. There was a hissing sound as he pulled a blood-red figure from within, with one yank.

“The first.” The Bull-Headed Robot stuffed the blood-red figure straight into his mouth, chewing roughly a few times and swallowing.

“It’s not...”

He repeated this process a few more times. They saw him pull out a pale-red snake shadow from the Crevice and stuff it into his mouth once more.

“This isn’t the one either.”

“The third one.”

He reached out his hand again, tearing apart the Void and sticking his claw inside.

Ahhh!!!!

An abrupt, piercing, and terrifying scream came from inside, and a red figure dashed past at lightning speed, trying to escape by flying outside.

The Bull-Headed Man gave it a glance and opened his mouth slightly.

Barroom!

There was a huge sound, and it was as though his mouth had expanded several times in an instant, covering this entire piece of space completely.

That darting red figure also finally screamed out before it was swallowed up.

“This is the one...” The Bull-Headed Man began to chew roughly. “The Child of Hell...”

“How’s the taste?” asked the Balloon Man, fascinated.

“Not very good. Tastes like Purgatory, so the taste of sulfur is very strong. It’s not nice at all...” replied the Bull-Headed Man honestly.

“How disappointing...”

The Three-Headed Wild Boar let out a sharp breath.

“Let’s go.” The rich lady turned around and vanished instantly. The three Demon Lords also made their figures fade and vanish, as though they had never been there.

Nobody noticed that in a certain corner of the battlefield, a dragon shaped like a black shadow was emerging from the dark shadows.

It was quietly devouring the corpses nearby, and the aura it emitted also continued to increase slowly without stopping as it devoured more.

A flaming meteor fell from the sky and landed nearby, just enough to illuminate this small area for an instant.

The black dragon figure raised its head slightly, revealing a face Garen had once been familiar with – Reyman.

Astral Space

In the Astral Space with its glorious colors that went around emanating terrifying radiation everywhere, many spheres formed from countless pieces of trash, bodies, and other miscellaneous items.

The powerful attraction and radiation filled this entire space that was in danger.

A silver-white line gradually appeared in an empty corner of the Astral Space.

The silver thread flowed down slowly, and almost seemed to print out the eerie body shape of a man. He was covered from head to toe with wounds that looked as though he had been pierced through with weapons, and some of the weapons still linger on his body. He just looked like a corpse that could not be any more dead.

The man opened his eyes and held open his palm. In the middle of his palm, there was a condensed item made from countless pitch-black mosquitos and insects. It was as though all the countless insects had gathered together to form a sphere made of insects.

“It’s about time you came in handy...” he sighed softly, lightly tossing the insect ball in his hand toward the front.

The insect ball exploded tracelessly, and now it turned into countless insects flying all over the place and scattering everywhere. It seemed that the radiation and gravity here were practically ineffective on them.

The man watched this scene quietly, until all of the bugs had flown away from the corner he was occupying.

Dragon King Peak

Garen was all curled up his own dragon cave. All this golden Divine Power just kept beating, the Divine Power that had come from Tiamat was still struggling inside his body. But he had already converted most of it into Soul Energy.

Since he had the Divine Persona now, he no longer had a Soul Limit. That was why he just decided to use all the Divine Power he had just obtained from the fight against the Incarnation in order to increase his stats.

The wisps of divinity were converted into Soul Energy and then turned into Potential Points. Garen kept adding them onto his dragon body.

Right now his Soul Ring structure could not level up because he lacked inspiration, and it just so happened that out of Tiamat’s divinity that Garen had obtained that day, one part was unneeded.

He did not need the Evil Dragon divinity at all, so he just converted it into his Soul Ring.

The divinity in an Incarnation was more than he had found in the Pearl of the Temple back then. According to Garen’s initial estimates, a completed divinity could be converted into four red Soul Rings. That was quite the haul!

However, completing the divinity required some time...

“The operation has begun.”

Suddenly, Ann’s voice echoed around his dragon’s cave.

Garen opened his eerie dragon eyes with double pupils. “Understood. I’ll be there immediately.”

There was an instant flash of bright yellow across his pupils.

After he absorbed three Red Soul Rings that were converted from the completed divinity, he finally managed to condense a Level Yellow Soul Ring as well.

There was another Red Soul Ring on top of his Yellow Ring, too. That made nine Soul Rings in total, standing in the Soul Space like a tall tower.

Garen could clearly feel changes happening in his body, but he could not tell exactly what these changes were. It was a strange, imperceptible feeling.

Even so, it was obvious that he had an instinct. He felt as though he could enter Dream Space directly with his body, as though his body could shift and weave through the semi-dreams and semi-reality.

This was a very strange ability.

He did not know what this ability was actually useful for, but clearly its most basic function was to avoid attacks.

He could use his actual body to leap into the Dreamland and then instantly jump out again. With this method, he could avoid any would-be fatal hits. He also vaguely sensed that this ability seemed to have something to do with the rules of conversion between the material and the spiritual. After all, the Dreamland was purely a Spiritual Space.

As he got up from the ground, the golden Divine Power all over Garen’s body retreated rapidly, as though he had gone back to being the normal White Dragon he used to be.

When he walked out of the dragon cave, two Adult White Dragon guards who were standing at the entrance bowed at him slightly.

“I’m going out for a bit. If anything happens, get Annie to solve it.” Annie was the White Dragon who had protected him way back when he headed for the Snow City. Although her personal life was a mess, she was very powerful.

“Yes.”

“If anyone comes from the White Dragon Mountain, tell them to wait for me to come back.” Garen left those last words and then flapped his wings, instantly vanishing from the spot.
