Free Web NovelChapter 2490: Chapter 1096: Elevation to Demigod (2)
Many Demons had just stuck their heads out, hadn’t even seen their surroundings clearly yet, before they were violently bombarded and turned into Soul Energy for the Undead Slaughter Territory.
"Yenogu really is a good man... Not only did he hand over his own territory to us, but he even left us a big gift when he left. With this Demon Summoning Gate, we’ll have an inexhaustible supply of Soul Energy from now on." The Giant Bone King, seeing Gaven, couldn’t help boasting.
For him, who wielded Slaughter Divine Power, having the Gathering Gate turned into a Demon Summoning Gate was something greatly to his liking.
So long as he guarded this gate, he would henceforth have a stable source of Divine Nature Force.
As for whether this had ruined Gaven’s plan or not, that was simply outside the scope of his considerations.
"You’ve done very well." Gaven gave ample affirmation to the Giant Bone King and the others. "Since you have loyally fulfilled your duties, then I will honor my promise."
Toward these Demon Minions, he had always been a man of his word, rewarding and punishing with clear measure.
They were Demons; he was not.
"Divine Enthronement?" The Soul Fire of the Giant Bone King involuntarily leapt wildly. Gaven had only this one promise for them.
Gaven did not directly answer the Giant Bone King’s question, but instead said solemnly: "Salamanda, are you willing to guard this Demon Gate on my behalf, and slay all intruders?"
"It is my honor!" The Giant Bone King dropped to one knee without hesitation and answered loudly.
"In the name of the Hands of Slaughter, I grant you the title of Skeleton Slayer. Skeletons and Slaughter shall be your weapons and your duty." Gaven used Superstate Transformation and transformed into the Giant Bone King form.
The Slaughter Left Hand held the War Ravager aloft above the Giant Bone King’s head and lightly tapped down.
The surrounding Power of Slaughter instantly stirred with the wind, surging in from all directions and endlessly pouring into the body of the Giant Bone King.
No—he should now be addressed as the Skeleton Slayer.
The nickname of a Divine Power Presence was never casually given; it usually struck directly at the Divine Position it represented.
For example, the Burning Flames Queen’s Flame of Revenge represented Flame and Revenge.
The Skeleton Slayer naturally signified Skeletons and Slaughter.
Hou!
The Skeleton Slayer let out an excited roar. As the vast Slaughter Divine Power poured in, all the bones of his body began to crackle, and his body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Godhood Form!
This was an ability possessed only by a Divine Power Presence.
Only this enlarging stopped abruptly when it reached thirty-seven or thirty-eight meters.
No matter how the aura on the Skeleton Slayer’s body climbed, the size of the Godhood Form did not increase by even a fraction.
"What’s going on? Isn’t the Godhood Form supposed to be able to grow without limit?" Gaven asked in puzzlement.
"Godhood Forms growing without limit is just a conjecture of Mortals." The Demonic Incarnation of the Queen of the Succubi explained at the side. "The larger the body, the stronger one’s ability to control Divine Nature Force.
The reason a Demigod is called a Demigod is because he has only forged the Divine Body and has not yet forged the Godhood.
He will not have Godhood Immunity and other such abilities, and his Godhood Form can only remain at the Mortal Peak."
Gaven said thoughtfully: "So that means the Godhood Forms of the True Gods also have limits? Their size is related to their Godhood Level?"
Though he phrased it as a question, recalling the earlier battle, the answer was basically certain.
The Godhood Form of Triple Shadows Taharissi stayed in the super-giant range.
The King of the Jackalweres, the Father of Combat, and the Queen of the Succubi all broke past a hundred meters, but did not grow any further.
Whereas Prince Grazte of the Ubar and the God of War Tempus could have a single palm that rivaled their Godhood Forms.
It wasn’t that they were unwilling to match their opponents, but that they could not.
If they further enlarged their Godhood Forms, their Divine Nature Force would lose control, a loss outweighing the gain.
Seen this way, everything became clear.
On the Material Plane, many powerful beings, such as an Ancient Giant Dragon or an Advanced Legend, possessed the ability to challenge, and even defeat, a Demigod.
The Demonic Incarnation of the Queen of the Succubi generously shared the intel: "That’s right, the maximum size of a Godhood Form is indeed linked to the Godhood Level. The upper limit for a Demigod is forty meters at the Mortal Peak, Feeble Divine Power is eighty meters, and just like the mundane enlarge, it keeps doubling. The Peak State of Strong Divine Power is six hundred and forty meters!"
This sort of intel wasn’t exactly precious; it was just that ordinary people had no use for it.
To them, there was no difference between a hundred meters and two hundred meters—both were overbearing existences.
But to True Gods, the difference was actually quite large.
Far beyond the mundane enlarge.
Among Mortals, if body size differed by one or two Levels, it could still be compensated for with powerful weapons, tools, or techniques, making it possible to challenge across Levels.
But among True Gods, challenging across Levels was basically impossible.
The oppression of Divine Power was very real. With a single strike from afar, Prince Ubar could crush everyone around so they couldn’t even lift their heads, and the Father of Combat’s counterattack was like a slow-motion replay—whether it could even harm him was hard to say.
Compared to Gaven’s regret, the Skeleton Slayer, who had just advanced to Demigod, was extremely satisfied. While swinging his fists and feet, he shifted into a flesh-and-blood state, savoring his brand-new Strength.
Ascending to Demigod was by no means as simple as obtaining a Godhood Form.
His control over Divine Nature Force had also entered a new stage; with every movement, he could infuse Divine Nature Force into it.
One Skill Pass, All Laws Pass.
