Chapter 219:
I felt myself being pulled away. A thought occurred to stop it, to see if I could force it to stop, but I pushed the thought down. While my academic mind was reeling from all this new information I now had to play with, I needed to get back to my body.
It was disorientating, having my consciousness pulled from my body and pushed through the barrier between realms, then suddenly pushed back into my body. Opening my eyes had been a huge sensory overload once I was 'physical' again. I don't know how long It took me to regain my higher functions, but I was basically incoherent while the 'process' of becoming a Campione happened.
I coughed up what seemed like a liter of water, my throat and nostrils burning from all the salt I had apparently swallowed. My hands pushed into the soft sand, gentle waves brushed up to me as I took in my surroundings.
"Washing up on the beach, how cliché." I sighed, turning myself over and fell back down. "Atleast there's no one around." Though it was likely anyone nearby evacuated, with the light show/Magic/freak storms we were throwing around.
[Could have been worse.]
"Yeah, could have died." I snorted.
[I meant being sealed away into a gauntlet and having to watch you have sex.]
"Fuck you." I couldn't help but chuckle and I heard Ddraig laugh inside my soul.
[You good?]
Damn, my clothes are a right mess.
"Yeah, yeah." I let out a deep breath. "Just give me a moment to reorientate myself." I muttered, holding me hands up above me. "Fully healed....I guess I should thank....mom?" I questioned it even as the word left my mouth.
It didn't feel bad to say. And for it to be 'only' a motherly feel to it.
As much as Raikou brings me joy, she has a much different relationship than that with me.
[You were adopted again.]
"Yup." I didn't even argue that point. With a thought, I let my Aura flare up. It hadn't been recharged like my body had been healed, but a noticeable amount had been returned. However there was something completely overshadowing that.
[Damn, that's much stronger now.]
"You're telling me." I waved my hand through the air, watching the multitude of colors flow around my skin. "Just at a glance I can tell it's so much denser...has more 'weight' to it."
[Well, it is a manifestation of your soul, and your soul just got an upgrade from munching on some God bits.]
"Divinity." I let my head fall back down into the sand. "I have Divinity now. I'm a Half-devil, Half-Human, with a Dragon in my Soul, and a Dragon heart, giving me a potent Dragon factor. And now I have Divinity added in." I just laughed at the absurdity of it. "What even is my life?"
[You regret it?]
"Not for a single second." I grinned. "Aura seems fine after everything, but more tests will be necessary." I began speaking out loud. "Magic Circuits are operable, no issue there. But my body seems to be producing Magical Energy beyond what my Magic Circuits were initially capable of."
[From your memories, you would call this a 'Divine Core', yes?]
"Maybe." I pursed my lips. "It's not a 100% transferable explanation for what happened, different worlds and all that. However, it's not entirely off the mark either."
Yeah, I could feel the Magical Energy so densely packed inside my body that I felt almost bloated at the constant pressure.
"My Magic Resistance is absurd now." I mused, remembering what I read about this phenomenon as I glanced at the back of my hand where I still retained the Command Seals.
[I'm surprised those are still there. Wouldn't the contract break after the Ritual?]
"Before, I'd give it a coin flip. So obviously they still persist. But, if I had to guess, I'd say that since my Soul also was strengthened, and the Contract is supported by my Magical Energy which is linked to my soul, the Command Seals weathered the storm, so to speak."
[Wonder if that lass got a bit of a surprise when the transformation happened.]
"Hope I didn't worry her too much." I muttered.
Hmm, the Seed that I would call my Power of Destruction had gotten noticeably larger and I feel like it's going to grow much faster now.
Interesting.
[So you discovered your Semblance?]
"Yeah, at the most opportune moment." I snorted. "I can apparently burn my Aura to turn my body into Lightning and – " I held my hand up and abruptly shot to my feet. Summoning my lightning, it was so similar except something was different. My mouth hung open as I shifted my hand back and let my Lightning dance across my hand.
[Dear God.... deliver me from this cringe.]
"Didn't he seal you inside the Gauntlet in the first place?"
[Yes, that should tell you something!]
"Eternal Darkness Infinite Parallel Sword."
[AHHHHHH It physically hurts....]
"Limitless Heaven Vast Sundering Sword."
[Just kill me, stop this torment.]
"Oh, quit your whining, I'll be serious." I rolled my eyes. "Besides, where the hell did you learn a word like 'cringe'"
[Did you forget I watch your memories when I'm bored?]
"Honestly, I do forget that." I hummed. "For real though."
[Alright, hit me with something good.]
"I was thinking – Myriad Sword"
[Huh....I like it.] Ddraig seemed to give his approval. [Well, now that we've finished messing around. Ready to talk about your new Authority?]
"It's strange." I muttered. "I can feel it inside me, ready to be called upon. Almost like it's been a part of me since birth. I even know its general use and abilities after 'absorbing' it from Susanoo." I couldn't help but chuckle. "Funnily enough, had I been a Campione already, or a Divine being, Susanoo would have been much harder to defeat. The Sword apparently can temporarily take over Authorities used nearby."
[Sounds powerful, what else can it do?]
"Mostly what you'd think. It allows me to control the Storms and what-not. And I was right before, it can cut through most Magics. I was lucky that my Nine Realms was so wrapped up in the Norse Cosmology, so intertwined with the symbols and concepts that it could survive even a few exchanges with this thing."
It was there, inside of me. This Authority, this sword that I could call upon with the correct words of power.
"And it can also dispel curses." I added on lastly. "It's not 10 fucking Incarnations that are Authorities in of themselves that Godou got, but it's damn well impressive."
I was only a little bit jealous.
[You think if you complained to your new mom, she'd give you something else?]
"....it couldn't hurt." I pursed my lips. "But I'll wait to drop back in later. I have a couple girls probably waiting for me, and I've made them worry enough."
[Despite her own status, your Teacher is probably going to kick your ass for doing this.]
".....shit you're right."
Honestly, I could deal with that. I was more worried about how upset either of them actually were. "I shouldn't waste any more time."
[Well, gotta face the music at some point.] Ddraig sounded amused by the thought of me getting beat up. [Look at the bright side.]
"There's a bright side?"
[I'll be able to shout out the shitty attack names you spouted every time you get your face kicked in by your teacher.]
"I hate you."
[Oh, I know, and it fuels my existence.]
With a sigh, I flicked open a new portal. And I could see on the other side, two very displeased women staring back at me.
