Chapter 73: Nine Paths God Mode

“No, you didn’t…”

Suddenly, the silhouette of the Dark God, who was already supposed to be dead, materialized behind Ian. Albeit severely weakened. He clutched Ian tightly on the shoulders with his palm that was emitting a dark, bright light.

Not good!

Ian’s face changed as he felt the sudden danger. “How are you still alive!?”

“Naive!” The Dark God roared with an ugly expression and hideous smile. “Do you think Gods are easily killed? You are far too naive, monkey.”

“Although you’ve managed to annihilate every single cell until nothing is left. You aren’t in the realm yet to understand or even see souls!”

“You cannot kill gods unless you fully eradicate their souls. Our body is just a vessel HAHAHA! That’s why we need to fuse our divine ki with our soul, because the soul is God’s core power. The Source!”

“However, since I’m not a True God yet. By destroying my body, you damaged 30% of my soul essence, and you must pay for that with your life. You have a monstrous potential, I have to admit this.” At that moment, the Dark God wore a look of awe on his face as he gazed at Ian. “So… I decided to assimilate you! Devour your talents and make them mine! HAHAHAHA!”

“You bastard!!!” Ian struggled to escape the Dark God’s grasp, but the weird glow of dark light seemed to have a bizarre ability that made him unable to move. ’I’ve become too complacent just now! Damn it!’

How many times has he told himself not to be conceited? It really had become his downfall? Although, understandably, he had let his guard down for a moment since he believed that he had won through full eradication of the Dark God until not even an atom was left. He still felt that he should’ve stayed alert.

’Who would have thought you still need to destroy their soul?’

Ian began to realize how terrifying the gods are. After all, the domain of the soul was mysterious and unpredictable. Ian hasn’t touched that domain, and he didn’t dare easily mess with the domain of souls. But gods??? Even the weakest have actually touched this mysterious domain?

Even if he knew this information. It’s useless since he didn’t have a means to destroy a soul or even harm one. If he knew this, he might have postponed his revenge at a later date.

“Assimilate!”

The Dark God whispered. “You should be delighted. I’m about to absorb you, and you’ll become part of me. With your talent and extreme potential, I might ascend to True God! No, I might even have a slim chance to become a Main God!” With face contorted with delight, the Dark God used his unique skill, Assimilation.

Each God has a unique skill that is unreplicable, and this unique skill is the result of the essence of their Godhood. Each God’s unique skill is different from each other, but each has terrifying effects and a godly upper limit.

Assimilation was the Dark God’s unique skill, that is the result of an extremely greedy personality and overwhelming ambition to ascend to high power. It’s the manifestation of his dark nature and dark godhood. Among unique skills. The Assimilation skill that the Dark God possessed could be said to be a top-tier!

He could devour any creature to absorb their essence, which includes their bloodline, soul power, and vitality to nourish himself and surpass his limit.

Ian’s face returned to calm. ’Is this how I’ll die?’

He knew that there was no point in resistance now since he couldn’t even mobilize his energy.

Gradually, the Dark God’s smile became wider and wider. Ian, on the other hand, became paler and he began to lose weight at an exaggerated pace. However, even with the intense pain, Ian’s face remained calm as if he had accepted his fate.

Ding!

[It is detected that the host life is in danger. The borrowing feature has been activated. The host, would you like to stop Assimilation and use reverse devour modification?]

’Reverse devour modification?’ Ian, who suddenly heard his system suddenly had his eyes lit up. He had already accepted the outcome since he couldn’t really do anything. But now…

’System, what is reverse devour mofication?’

[The host, this is urgent, and there is no time to explain this special feature. In ten minutes, you’ll be fully assimilated. Currently, you have a total of 321,000 biomass. But reverse devour mofication needs to consume fifty million biomass.]

’50 million? Do it! But I’m short of biomass. What to do?’ Asked Ian urgently.

[You’ll be in debt. The borrowing feature allows you to borrow up to 1 billion biomass with 10% interest annually.]

Ian didn’t think much as he knew that it wasn’t time for that. ’Borrow then! Fucking borrow and activate the reverse devour modication’

Ding!

[Reverse Devour Moficiation has been activated successfully. You have borrowed fifty million biomass. You must pay it within a year to avoid incurring interest.]

Just like that, after the system’s notification, the glow of dark light on the hands of the Dark God suddenly turned golden in color.

“What is happe…”

The Dark God didn’t even finish his words before the glow of dark light that turned fiery golden devoured him swiftly. Everything about him had been reverse devoured.

[The operation is successful. You have assimilated the Dark God. You have obtained his Godhood and soul power. Congratulations, the host!]

’W-what, I obtained what?’ Ian couldn’t help but ask in a daze.

At this time, a strange, sacred, dark energy appeared out of nowhere, starting from the center of Ian’s forehead and sweeping his body, every cell, organ, and even his bones had been washed by the unknown energy.

Suddenly, Ian was forcefully brought back to his base form. His purple hair, eyes, eyebrows, and attire began to deepen in color.

Ian also could feel his soul seemed to subtly change in essence, and there was a floating eye with star-shaped pupils floating held within the confines of his soul. ’What the hell is that? What is happening to me?’

Ding!

[Due to successful fusion with Dark Attribute Godhood, you have awakened Dark Divine Ki. You have obtained a new transformation to use the Dark Divine Ki. Specifically, A God Transformation.]

’A God Transformation? Dark Divine Ki? So the floating star pupils inside my soul might be the Dark Godhood fused to me?’ Ian muttered. Then, a grin appeared on his face. ’Then I’ll call the new transformation Nine Paths God!’

Suddenly, Ian tapped on his new transformation. His eyes, his hair, his robe, and every bone on his body instantly turned silver. His dark divine ki enveloped his body like a burning aura of silver flames.

’System, why is it silver? Should Dark Divine Ki color black?’

[That is the result of the fusion of your Dark Divine Ki and Nine Paths Bloodline.]

’Ohhh…’ Ian nodded as if he understood, but not completely. ’So this is my God Transformation. At least it looks badass…’ his silvery eyes gleamed.
