431 Side Chapter; David Armand Perspective III 3/4: The Heros Fall (2/2)

Zudig took over David and used the dungeon core that he had already found and infected it with his Divine Soul. Although this was a taboo within Gods, he did not care! He used a mortal body to do so, so not even the system could do anything. He had finally obtained the precious loophole he desired and put all his energy into abusing it!

Stealing the dungeon of Brulzrayn, The Dragon God of Blazing Breath, the other gods had no option than to run away. It was impossible for them to win, especially if they were only ethereal projections while Zudig was present right there, even more, when the whole dungeon became his authority and he could mold however he wanted.

Zudig was now in a position where the Dragon Gods could not simply fight and defeat. If they had stayed one more second, Zudig would have used his dungeon authority to entrap the ethereal projections and directly attack the dragon gods through them using his powerful Phantom Attribute Divine Techniques.

Zudig not only assimilated David and Vastrasz but made David's body completely his own. It was as if both beings had merged into one. Something similar to Kireina, with a Divine Soul and the body of a mortal.

Zudig glanced at his new status and could not help but laugh in happiness. The goal that he had worked very hard to accomplish, lying low in the dungeon and pretending to be a simple and stupid monster paid off in the end.

He was able to level up, to gain new titles and skills, and he could do even more things such as changing into classes that not even gods were allowed to.

Zudig decided to assess his new dungeon, a facility that he had never managed to own until now.

”From here, I shall rise to the top…! But even I acknowledge that I cannot do things completely alone…” said Zudig in the body of David, which had begun to slowly change.

David's body was infected by Zudig's Divinity and started to mutate. Dark scales started to cover his hands, feet, and shoulders, he slowly grew a scaled tail and demonic horns in the sides of his head.

By Zudig's influence, his hands became sharp claws and his armor became dark and sharp, raising into the Phantasmal Rank, the same being for his sword, which was now a Cursed Blade.

As Zudig infected David's body more and more, he constantly gained new skills that he had never seen before.

”Dungeon Snatch, Dungeon Area Assimilation, Divinity Devouring, Demigod's Psyche, Demigod's Physique, Phantasmagoric Demigod Aura… All these Skills! I can already feel that I am becoming even stronger than when I was a pure Demigod… Just what is this strength?”

Zudig opened a rift in space as he glanced at his Divine Realm, there, he had his original body, the body of a demigod.

”If I have Divinity Devouring after infecting this vessel with Divine Energy, then I should be able to devour my original physical body and become even stronger through Vastrasz's powers!” said Zudig.

Vastrasz had the power to obtain strength by devouring the flesh of dragons, basilisk, and other reptiles. Although Zudig had once killed and eaten Vastrasz, he did not inherit such ability, up until now, that he had assimilated his soul through David's bloodline.

Zudig did not have any time to waste, he immediately began to eat his original body voraciously, slowly sensing his strength increase by leap and bounds…

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm of Qondress, the Dragon God of Sea Snakes and Waves, water flowed freely through an almost endless landscape.

There was a large ocean filled with hundreds of tiny isles, and each isle held large temples where different types of Dragonoid species lived in harmony.

In the largest isle, a temple constructed for the worship of Qondress by his children, the body of Blaire rested peacefully, floating over the crystalline spring water. Kaze and Leonia were glancing at her.

Sea Snake Dragonoid, children of Qondress, had gathered in here as well, the priests of every church conjured their healing magic over the sleeping Blaire, the wound in her stomach slowly healing.

”Blaire…” muttered Kaze. His handsome face showing a melancholy expression.

”It all… happened so fast… we were so powerless…” said Leonia, her eyes which were often filled with blazing determination seemed to be hollow of any light.

”The one that ruined our father's plans was Zudig, the Dragon Zombie Demigod. A terrible fiend that only desires the destruction of the world's order… It's not that you were powerless, he was a completely different being compared to you, it was impossible to stand a chance to matter how hard you trained” said a Sea Snake Dragonoid Priestess, with a mature expression on her face, she had aquamarine eyes and long azure hair, wearing only thin white robes covering her voluptuous upper human body.

”Lady Qirlin… thanks for helping Blaire to recover…” said Kaze.

The priestess, named Qirlin, waved her head.

”There is nothing to thank me for, this was all but our father, Qondress-sama will. If you ever feel grateful, give you thanks to him” Said the priestess.

”We will… Those gods had done a lot for us…” said Leonia, who a few days ago didn't even believe in the existence of gods.

”Kaze-sama, Leonia-sama, our father had called upon you,” said a different priest, coming from the outside of the temple.

Kaze and Leonia glanced at each other with concern, they had never interacted with a god before and feared that their ignorance may trigger their rage… especially when they had failed to protect their Hero, David.

The two were suddenly transported to a different area in the Divine Realm, where they saw the ethereal figure of Blaire.

”Blaire-sama!” shouted Kaze.

”Is that you, Blaire?! But we saw you down there!” said Leonia.

”Kaze, Leonia…” muttered Blaire.

Suddenly, the omnipotent voice of a higher being filled the two beastmen senses.
