Chapter 994: Beastiel Galaxies

Tearing the Demi God might have looked easy but it had required meticulous preparations. Draining the Demi God's energy was only one of many conditions that had to be met.

Once the Demi God's energy reserves were below a certain threshold, the Death and poison curse power inside Lanester weakened his body. Michael focused Death and poison curse power on the Demi God's neck and shoulders, further weakening these areas. The Divinity within Death Call was drained when the Demi God was weakened enough to unleash the Power Authority.

He used the Divinity accumulated within the Primordial Vessel in one go, pushing his raw power to a new all-time high. Lanester tried blocking Michael's attack, but his body was torn apart before his hands could tear through Michael's chest and pierce his heart. The Demi God had attempted that with a last-ditch effort, but a double-layered Imperial Barrier covering his chest was enough to block the attack.

Actually, it wasn't as simple as Michael made it seem. He was drained of all Divinity he'd accumulated and wasn't yet adept at actively recovering Divinities. Still, the passive recovery of his recently blossomed Divinities would require a few weeks of constant energy influx to recover to their peak without help.

That was a little annoying since Michael couldn't even use Permute to transform the Void Ingots stored within Swallow Domain into Divinity Power. For that, he would have to understand more about his Divinities first. Jormungandr, Fenrir, and Hel could help him with that, but gaining a thorough understanding of his Divinities would require some more time.

[It's not like it matters. You can study our Divinities and keep fighting. As long as you don't stay in the same position for too long, you won't have any major problems for a while. Since the Supreme Human Alliance sent one of the weaker Demi-Gods to attack you, they must struggle to deploy their stronger forces. Either none of the Pseudo Gods are ready to face you and fear the Primal's intervention, or they have another plan. A plan that gives you enough time to wreak a little bit more havoc.] Fenrir issued excitedly.

Michael wasn't as excited as Fenrir, but he understood the point.

'If the Supreme Human Alliance cannot respond to me immediately, I shouldn't waste time recuperating my Divinity. It should be out there, killing more Hyumans.'

That wasn't exactly what Fenrir said, but it was also something Fenrir could have said. Michael's train of thought fit perfectly to Fenrir's persona.

Once Keiros was cleared, all corpses collected, and the survivors put into an artificial coma, Michael brought the victims of Blood Incursion to his territory. The comatose Hyumans were brought to the Sacred Desert into a large structure near the construction site of the massive laboratory. Michael wasn't in a rush, but there was no need to waste precious time in the ruins of the Divine Academy. The Hyumans were brought to the Sacred Desert within a few minutes. After that, Michael used Slipstream and teleported outside the Supreme Human Alliance's territory, where he reunited with the Super Awakened.

Michael gathered with them on an uncivilized planet in a planetary system and galaxy, which had yet to be claimed by anyone. He didn't know much about the Galaxy besides monsters ruling most planets. The Beast God Curses told him a little bit about the Beastial Galaxies and how they were marked. Since this was one of the Bestial Galaxies, Michael and other Divine Lifeforms weren't allowed, but that was fine. Michael's presence was more of a monster than that of an Awakened, either way.

The Beast God Curses altered his presence over the years, leaving little of his old presence behind. As for the Super Awakened... Higher Lifeforms were still accepted in the Bestial Galaxies. Some weaker races sought asylum in Bestial Galaxies, knowing their potential was lackluster and that they were too low to ascend to Divine Lifeforms.

Michael was a little curious about the Bestial Galaxies and how the Beast God Curses were related to them - they were very knowledgeable about the Beastial Galaxies, and Michael couldn't help but feel like Fenrir or Jormungandr had once been in charge of a few Beastial Galaxies - but it mattered little at the end of the day. Michael wasn't going to stay long in the Bestial Galaxies. Except if...

'No. That will stir even more trouble. I don't think I should do that.'

[But you could. I don't think you understand how annoying the Supreme Human Alliance has been in the last few thousand years. A few Beastial Galaxies were destroyed and conquered by the Supreme Human Alliance. Everyone can sense that you are the Lord of the Untamed Jungle. The Links of Loyalty with millions of monsters influenced your presence, just like our connection did. If you wish to talk to some Beast Gods, we can bring you to them and request the help of Emperor Beasts, Beast Princes, and the like.] Jormungandr said.

'I don't think that's necessary, but I will keep your words in mind.' Michael thought about it a bit and tilted his head, 'In fact, how about we relay some information to the Beats Gods of the Beastial Galaxies to prepare them for what is about to happen? I mean...we are almost certain the Primal will attack me sooner or later.'

[You should message them.] Hel agreed as well.

Michael nodded slowly before using Beast Halo. He summoned Jormungadnr, Fenrir, and Hel with a trace of their Essences and ignored the exclamations of Super Awakened left and right to him. "The Beast Gods should know you. Tell them everything or whatever you want to say. I will establish a small post here to pull back and escape the Supreme Human Alliance's radars. After all, we do not wish to rely on the Altors Union for protection." Michael pointed out.

The three Beast Halos stared blankly at him while the God Curses inside him cursed a little, saying their Halos wouldn't understand them. But that was wrong. The Beast Halos created with a trace of the God Curses' Essence were near-perfectly - though weaker - replicas of the originals. They understood Michael very well and followed his orders.

'It would be great if you all would follow my orders as easily as the Beast Halos.'

[Shut up!] Fenrir roared, while Jormungandr hissed threateningly, [We are still Beast Gods. Don't underestimate our power and influence, kiddo!]

Yes. Yes. The God Curses were powerful and influential. Still, they needed Michael. Of course, he also desperately needed their help, but the God Curses had much more to lose than Michael. Actually...that was not the case. They had the exact same to lose. Maybe Michael had even more to lose since he still had Alice, Lucia, and everyone else in his territory to lose if he died.

'Let's ignore that for the time being. I think we have a lot of more important things to pay attention to. How about we do that and focus on those other things?'

[Such as?] Hel asked. She was the calmest among the God Curses.

'How to damage the Supreme Human Alliance more while gathering more allies to deal with the SHA, their Pseudo Gods, and the Primal, of course!'
