1353 Birth of the Thunder God Part 1 (2/2)

If the Evil Oracle had known the mage was this difficult, it would never have volunteered to take him on.

That damned lightning power. Lord Heretic God had perished once because of this, spending eons in slumber in a parallel space. No one knew how many divine kingdoms had been wrecked to bring back the lord.

No wonder Lord Heretic God had gotten so pissed. So this plane has another one who's mastered the power of lightning. If this guy were allowed to grow, he would definitely pose a great threat to the lord.

Humans grew too quickly, and the gods recovered too slowly. If they couldn't get rid of the mage right before them, it would be a problem for the Heretic God to survive, let alone rebuild his divine kingdom.

The Evil Oracle was unable to stop, however, because its true body was waiting to get into action in the abomination plane. If it were to stop and redo the whole thing, the process would have taken even longer.

If the Heretic God were to find it too much of a hassle, he would have just killed the Evil Oracle's true body instead of hearing it out.

The weapon spirit of the Lightning Constellation was quickly hunting for the abominations while absorbing purified golden granules. Even though Saleen liked the golden granules a lot, he dared not emerge to take anything for himself.

Saleen was being trapped, but the weapon spirit was helping him nonetheless. Letting his equipment get something out of the whole deal was excusable, under the circumstances.

That thought of his was actually something Nailisi rubbed off on him.

As a bonded creature, Nailisi came to hoard great amounts of wealth for herself, and the Winged Skull wasn't too far behind. Nevertheless, the Winged Skull was the one manning his fleet, so Saleen permitted him to do so.

At the very least, Saleen had no need to worry about the fleet's upkeep because it was all taken care of by the Winged Skull.

Those golden granules were absorbed into the weapon spirit of the Lightning Constellation's body, swapping out the matter that its body originally consisted of. The weapon spirit was incapable of forging equipment but was capable of tempering its body.

That was an innate ability of the giants. A weapon spirit's birth was due to the bone crystals of the giant after all, so it was only natural that it inherited some of that giant's abilities.

Those golden granules of lightning began to tweak the weapon spirit's original structure after they entered its body. Its body consisted mainly of the body of the Big Guy it consumed originally, limiting the power of lightning it was capable of storing.

When the golden granule's being fused within its body, the lightning powers it was able to store became tens of thousands of times greater.

Saleen never knew such changes were possible. If he had known about them, he would have fed those golden granules to Dante.

There were too many abominations in the hall, but Dante was being unnervingly speedy with its hunt. It soon stopped fusing the golden granules into its body and began sharing the loot with the entire Lightning Constellation.

Dante's level of intelligence allowed it to know conservation after all, and it refrained from simply sharing the granules with all the lightning warriors. It knew that the golden granules had their use, due to having made its master collect them in a frenzy.

As such, it selected eight lightning warriors of the highest level and began to swap parts of their bodies with the golden granules.

Even if Dante didn't do all that, the lightning bolts that were shooting about randomly above began to get thicker. As more and more golden granules were infused within Dante's body, the lightning it shot to the ground became thicker as well.

Some bolts were even strong enough to kill some low-level abominations.

Although it still needed hundreds of bolts just to kill one abomination, the Lightning Constellation was still different from other equipment. It created lightning on the spot and immediately shot it instead of firing what was already created and stored.

The lightning bolts that were created on the fly didn't consume much energy. The key to their power was the weapon spirit. With Dante in charge of their creation, hardly any energy was wasted.

Those lightning warriors no longer crackled with electricity, as all electrical powers were siphoned to Dante.

There were 500,000 lightning warriors in the Lightning Constellation after all.

The electrical powers Dante controlled began to take the shape of trees, branching out the energy collected within the Lightning Constellation, which was then gathered and dispersed in the air. The power of those electrical bolts increased when they struck something.

At such speeds, no one would have been able to evade the shots from instantaneous conversions of energy. Furthermore, living beings were always paralyzed when hit by electricity; not even powerful beings could withstand these shots.

The Evil Oracle hadn't yet noticed the changes on Dante. If it had, it would have given up on killing Saleen and reported back to the abomination plane instead.

That was because the weapon spirit was meant to follow the footsteps of its double—the weapon spirit of the Floating City—and become the second one to be lit with divine fire.

If that weapon spirit had become a god and advanced to a higher level, it would have become a demigod with a fragmented divine persona. Even a demigod could have mastered lightning rules, and this demigod was entirely capable of killing low-level gods.

In addition, that god would have been born on Myers Mainland, enabling it to bring the highest power allowed by the plane. While it lacked the great potential of humans, it would have nonetheless proven lethal to the Heretic God's plans.

Once a god with lightning powers appeared, the divine kingdoms surrounding it would have been rendered restless.
