Chapter 1709: Sacrificing Divinities, Divine Abilities, and Divine Treasures To Forge The Ascendancy Law!
After placing all the Divine Treasures into the Ascendancy Law Circle, the next step was to imbue the circle with the three Core Divinities.
[Now, place the three Core Divinities... This is a big decision, so be careful! After that, then add ten sub-pillar divinities.]
"Very well," I nodded.
The divinities surged out of my soul as fragments of it, I felt my power decreasing with each one that I separated from my Origin Core.
However, this was a necessary sacrifice, once the Ascendancy Law were to be fused into my Soul, I would get all the power I lost back, plus some more.
Enough to represent a new Law in the world of Yggdrasil, like all other Venerables have done.
And the Core Divinities I choose were pretty simple, the three Divinities I've been using the most, plus the one that shattered and was then regenerated through Gluttony's powers.
The [Demonic Divinity: Eternal Devouring Winter (???)] as the main one, representing both Ice and the Demonic Aspect of Gluttony all combined together.
Then the second is [Divinity: Dream Dungeons & Nightmare Labyrinths (SSS)], representing the Dungeons I create and the Nightmare and Dream Elements, all of which are very crucial for me.
And lastly, the third Core Divinity is one of my newest ones, [Divinity: Azure Crimson Frost Fire Essence Mastery (SSS)], which represents both my Titan Soul and the powerful Essences I can now control, alongside my own Soul Aether, Fire, and more Ice.
I wanted to choose [Divinity: Divine Cooking (SSS)], but although it was unique to me, it wasn't as powerful as these.
These three powerful Divinities surged as giant runes around the massive Ascendancy Law Circle, rotating in its center with different colors.
[Now, choose the ten sub-pillar divinities, these can be both main divinities and auxiliary divinities, it doesn't matter. Choose carefully though.]
I nodded as I quickly started choosing, it didn't take too long for my decision to be made.
The ten sub-pillar Divinities I choose were: [Demonic Divinity: Endless Gluttonous Nightmares (???)] [Divinity: Dungeons (SSS)] [Divinity: Primordial Oceans of Time (SSS)] [Divinity: Holy Light (SSS)] [Divinity: Primordial Blood (SSS)] [Divinity: Dark Abyss (SSS)] [Divinity: Divine Starlight Flames (SSS)] [Divinity: Abyssal Void (SSS)] [Divinity: Divine Cooking (SSS)] [Divinity: Divine Flames (SSS)]!
They were all important and unique, and although not core, they would all influence the Ascendancy Law even further.
FLUOSH!
The Ascendancy Law Circle suddenly grew ten times in size, overflowing with Divine Power, the skies continued rumbling and the ground trembling.
It even felt like at any moment, the fabric of space within my Divine Realm was about to be torn apart and broken open.
"Hahh... Oof."
I felt terribly weak, without all those Divinities boosting my divine power, I felt like I had almost gone back to being a mortal dragon, it was incredible how much my power depended on them.
[Hang in there Drake. This is the last and most important step. Choose five Core Divine Abilities and then five sub-pillar Divine Abilities!]
"So I can only choose ten instead of thirteen, but five of the ten can become the core ones... Good," I nodded. "Do the order influence them?"
[Yes, the first core divine ability might become the true core that influences everything, so choose carefully- Drake?!]
FLUOSH!
I had already chosen the first Divine Ability, the voice of the System became distant out of the sudden, as I felt an immense hollowness inside of my soul.
Yes, I had chosen her, of course.
"D-Drake?! What are you doing- Uwah! Why am I outside your soul?! I had no idea the Ascendancy Law could do this!"
The System was quite surprised, and of course she would be.
I choose as the first core divine ability as...
[Unique Skill: Divine System (SSS)]!
"I've been doing this all for you," I said. "And if it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't even be here right now. I owe you more than you imagine, and I love you with all my heart, why wouldn't I ever do this? It was quite obvious."
"D-Drake..."
Her presence quickly fused into the Ascendancy Law, becoming a giant silver and pale blue colored rune, so big and strong it shook the entire Ascendancy Law.
The Ice Queen and the Fox glanced at the scene in disbelief.
"H-He added his Unique Skill?!" asked the Ice Queen.
"Oh, just like I did too~" giggled the fox. "And his Unique Skill is even more unique than mine, a sentient being within his soul, and someone he dearly loves too... Hah, I'm a bit jealous now."
"Incredible... his Ascendancy law is becoming so strange! It is overflowing with a power I had never seen before..." the Ice Queen said. "A new Element... a new Law?!"
"Is that so?" wondered the fox queen, laughing. "Let's wait and see then... I wonder what he will even make."
I tried to ignore their remarks, although they were quite distracting, after choosing the System Unique Skill as the first core divine ability, I quickly choose the other four core divine abilities.
Of course, to do what I want, I'll have to prioritize [Unique Skill: Spirit Creation (SSS)] above the Immortal Body or the God Unique Skills.
FLASH!
After placing that, I moved to the other three.
The third was [Unique Skill: Immortal Body (SSS)].
The fourth was [Unique Skill: God (SSS)].
And the fifth was... [Unique Skill: Dungeon Creation (SSS)].
FLUOSH!
RUMBLE!
The Ascendancy Law had become so big it was as large as a kilometer, overflowing with enormous amounts of power.
The Divine Realm was constantly trembling, it was shaping to be incredible.
I felt vulnerable though, having lost my God and Immortal Body Unique Skills, even the System, I felt much weaker, so weak I could die easily.
But I wasn't done yet.
Not yet!
With these in the core, I moved to the five other sub-pillar Divine Abilities.
The sixth was [Unique Skill: Winter Magic (SSS)].
The seventh was [Unique Skill: Ice Absorption (SSS)].
The eighth was [Unique Skill: Vampire Progenitor (SSS)].
The ninth was [Demonic Physique (SSS)].
And the tenth was [Eternal Azure Crimson Frost Fire Titan Soul Psyche (SSS+)].
I suddenly lost even more of my powers, my vampiric abilities, my demon king seed, even my psyche.
All of my powers, completely gone.
"Hahah... I'm done."
FLAAASH!
But it was finally done.
