Am I a legendary creature now?
Wood was shocked for a moment. He felt that there was power constantly rising in his body, and that was something he had never imagined before. It was incredible.
He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
People always said that a god’s mercy was as vast as the sea and that a god’s power was as great as the mountain. He really saw that today.
It was incredible to know that His Majesty, the Great Mentor, had dug into the ground and created a large mountain. But now, His Majesty, the Void Mask, could transform him from a mortal into a powerful legendary creature in a short time. What’s more, Wood felt completely compatible with his body.
In stories and legends, if one gained a powerful force suddenly, he would definitely suffer some strong after-effects, such as having difficulty controlling that force or even going mad. Sometimes, one might even have to swallow living creatures or consume a lot of precious resources. However, these were all evitable things to His Majesty, the Void Mask. He had just created a legendary creature very easily. Moreover, he had created a stronger creature among the legendary creatures.
This is the power of a god! No wonder so many masters are obsessed with the desire to become gods. No wonder the Great Mentor has been under meditation in seclusion for hundreds of years so as to succeed in becoming a god.
If it’s for such a power, it’s really worth it!
But Wood was wrong. Sui Xiong was extremely powerful, but this ability to create a legendary creature had little to do with the mercy and power of a god. Instead, that was Sui Xiong’s personal skill.
However, strictly speaking, that did have something to do with his Divine Power. Since his Divine Power became stronger, Sui Xiong could use it to improve his body to work more efficiently, and then his work became more refined and perfect.
It was like a master craftsman with excellent skills—if he could master more advanced tools to assist his work, he could make better works that were good enough to outweigh what he had done before.
On earth, where Sui Xiong had lived before his space-travel, there were many inheritors of traditional skills. With the help of science and technology and ideas of the new era, they were able to arrive at a height beyond the reach of the previous generations of sages.
For example, Sui Xiong’s expertise was painting, so he usually got along well with people in that area. He found that some of them could create a painting that was almost the same as reality. But for the past predecessors, no matter how hard they had tried, they couldn’t draw out such precise and rich colors, and the scenery that they had painted was always different from reality.
That showed the progress of skills.
Sui Xiong’s level of painting was not that high. Before his space-travel, he had never been able to create such vivid paintings. But now, he could paint whenever he wanted; his great strength and almost omnipotent Divine Power were the best tools for him.
Moreover, Sui Xiong’s mastery of these tools was constantly improving, and that could be seen from his works. At first, the body he created for Gerald was rough. Although it was powerful, it was still imperfect in many aspects. Thus, Gerald’s soul was in turn affected by the body and became a little simple and straightforward, bold and rough.
Then, Sui Xiong’s skill was improved, and he adjusted Gerald’s body twice to make him completely return to normal. Now, others couldn’t find any trace of the bald giant on Gerald, the head of the knights of the Void Mask Church. Instead, Gerald was just a tall knight that always laughed very kindly and had great strength.
Now Sui Xiong’s skill was more than perfect. Wood’s body was specially designed for the fluctuation of Wood’s soul. Although his new body was not as perfect as his original one, it still had fit his soul to the greatest extent. Unless Wood was a soul psychic who specialized in soul power, he would not feel any discord between his soul and his body.
