Chapter 2496: Chapter 1098: Terrifying Divine Nature Reward (2)
What I need from them is not their permanent allegiance; as long as I bind them to my war chariot during my time in the Bottomless Abyss, it will suffice.
Once I leave the Bottomless Abyss, the issue of loyalty will become irrelevant, replaced by interest.
As long as the benefits I bring them far exceed the cost of betraying me, their choice should be self-evident.
"When do we commence our surprise attack?" The Queen of the Succubi wisely changed the subject.
The trust issue is an unsolvable eternal dilemma in the Bottomless Abyss, yet it is the foundation for cultivating powerful subordinates.
An unsolvable dead cycle.
Gaven can only admire such methods but has no means to imitate them.
"Once I finalize the last component, we’ll begin immediately," Gaven replied, "Speed is key; the quicker we act, the more unexpected our effect will be."
"Very well, I await your good news," the Queen of the Succubi responded.
After carefully considering and ensuring there were no omissions at Yenogu’s Siege, Gaven returned to Skeleton Flame Mountain.
Since the Gathering Gate has already been tainted by Yenogu, rendering it temporarily unusable by me, I have to find a solution through my Road Divinity Power.
Of course, this starts with accounting for my acquired gains.
As the initiator of the entire affair, Gaven’s rewards are equally enormous, with his body brimming with Road Divinity Power bursting forth, most of which is Conceptual Divine Power.
In the matter of eradicating the King of the Jackalweres, the Road Divinity Power played a crucial supporting role.
It continuously transported Undead Slaughter Divine Power to the frontlines and aided Gaven in sequentially summoning Baphoment, King of the Minotaurs, Micanthix, Queen of the Succubi, and Father of Combat, Uthgar. Finally, it deciphered the secret of the Howling Peaks, established the Skeleton Volcano, and transferred the Undead Slaughter Territory directly from the Plains of Bone to Yenogu’s Siege.
In fact, when the Skeleton Flame Mountain was established, the surging Road Divinity Power helped him unlock the third Attribute Seed—Constitution Seed.
These Attribute Seeds are merely names given by Gaven himself.
Its primary function is to utilize Divine Nature Force to partially transform his body, honing his attributes to the extreme, without activating special abilities.
Path Stepping, that is Divine Ability.
It shares the same nature as the Skeleton Slayer’s Skeleton Slaughter Tornado and the Slaughter Plunderer’s Plunder Control.
As for the faith connection gained when opening the Perception Seed, it does not stem from the Perception Seed but rather from the Perception Attribute Legend, a high degree of harmony and fusion with the Multiverse.
The Constitution Seed merely provided Gaven with an enhancement of three points in attributes, nothing more.
No one would naturally find fault with an abundance of Constitution, but to Gaven, whose life force exceeds five hundred, it seems like a mere embellishment, lacking significant impact.
If an enemy indeed poses a lethal threat to him, whether he possesses those three points of Constitution matters little.
Especially in the Bottomless Abyss, he faces enemies who are all Divine Power Presences.
Gaven dares not even show himself.
This time is different; Gaven can clearly feel the surging Road Divinity Power in his body, enough to complete the transformation of his entire being, directly stepping into the realm of the demigod.
He has already created four demigods single-handedly, yet he himself has not entered the demigod realm, a fact no one would believe.
Gaven’s path to Divine Enthronement may be slow, but it has a distinct benefit: a steady progress, with Conceptual Divine Power far outweighing Faith Divine Power, accounting for ninety percent.
Such a Divine Foundation is exceptionally solid, and outsiders find it incredibly difficult to shake or seize.
They can seize faith, but they cannot seize these concepts he has founded nor the path he has forged.
If he continues to progress along his current path, accumulating over time, he will inevitably experience exponential growth.
Those affected by these paths, even if they do not become his believers, will continue to provide him with faith due to the benefits stemming from these paths.
Gaven was not mistaken; as he devoted himself to guiding the Road Divinity Power, it immediately converged like a tide from all directions, battering his body and soul.
Easily breaking through two barriers in his mind, he successively unlocked the seeds of Charisma and Intelligence, with both attributes reaching a terrifying thirty-eight points; the Divine Stage is no longer just a dream, but within reach.
Gaven had long been able to use his special ability to glimpse their entirety but had not made a choice.
Because the strongest and most alluring abilities require all intrinsic attributes to fully attain the Divine Stage.
When Gaven charged at the last barrier, however, he encountered a problem.
The issue lay in his left arm, which was still occupied by Slaughter Divinity Force, unable to complete the final transformation.
That feeling is like a single rat spoiling an entire pot of broth.
No matter how Gaven stirred the Divine Nature Force throughout his body, he could not drive out the Slaughter Divinity Force rooted within him; they clung there stubbornly.
"A blessing and a curse! Due to the Slaughter Divine Power, I have achieved unprecedented rapid progress in the Bottomless Abyss but also left behind a source of trouble. Now, ’Hands of Slaughter’ has become not only a symbol and concept but has deeply ingrained itself within the hearts of the Undead Massacre Spirits, believed to have spread widely throughout the entire Bottomless Abyss.
This will root them in me, rendering its removal impossible!"
