Rumble!
With the conclusion of Damien's awakening ceremony, the Jura Forest finally returned to calm.
Countless majins, sensing the stabilized magicules, cautiously poked their heads out to confirm it was safe.
"The magicules have completely settled."
In the sky, Velzard lowered her gaze, surveying the boundless Jura Forest.
A faint smile curled her lips, clearly satisfied with Damien's successful awakening.
"Now, then…"
"When will you come to greet me on your own?"
Though they hadn't met, Velzard gleaned Damien's personality from his magicules.
He was certain to seek her out for a fight after his Harvest Festival!
"Hm…"
"It feels a bit risky."
Considering Damien's terrifying post-awakening strength, Velzard frowned slightly. "No way, I'm the Onee-sama. I can't let my lil bro beat me."
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Velzard had an idea: release Veldora.
Then, the siblings could team up to suppress their youngest brother.
You think that's underhanded?
Hah, True Dragon business... can you call that underhanded?
It's strategy!
The wisdom only an elder sister could grasp!
'Exactly!'
Velzard found the perfect excuse for her lack of confidence. 'I'm not scared, just cautious!'
With that, she returned to the sealed cave to discuss the plan with Veldora.
"Is it done?"
Damien didn't know how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes again, he could feel the changes in his body.
"So strong… Is this really my body?"
Rising from the bed, he looked around, noticing the house had completely collapsed, leaving only ruins.
As for the four Primordial Daemons, they looked utterly disheveled.
But Damien had no time to mind them.
His attention was entirely on his status panel.
[Damien] | (Simplified, listing only Ultimate Skills and Special Skills)
[Race: Star Dragon King]
[Dragonoid Magicules: 16 million (limited by soul strength)
[True Dragon Magicules: 210 million EP (continuing to grow)]
[Rank: S-rank / Special S-rank (Dragonoid Form / Star Dragon King Form)]
[Special Skills: Magicule Solidification (inheritable), Stardust Manipulation (non-inheritable), Ring of Divine (inheritable), Command Seals (inheritable), Demon God Transformation (non-inheritable)]
[Exclusive Skill: Twin Martial Souls · Frost Dominion]
[Ultimate Skills: God of the Void · Azathoth, God of Chaos · Kaos, Lord of Armies · Michael, Lord of Wisdom · Uriel]
Ultimate Skills varied in strength, divided into three tiers.
The first were standard Ultimate Skills, typically named after minor gods, considered the "miscellaneous" category.
However, some were exceptional, like Lord of End (Apep) and Lord of Creation (Tiamat).
Skills tied to creation god-level entities, even if miscellaneous, were no weaker than top-tier Ultimate Skills.
Above standard Ultimate Skills were high-tier Ultimate Skills.
These typically belonged to the Seven Virtues or Seven Sins series.
Yet, the Seven Virtues and Seven Sins weren't the pinnacle.
Above them existed even greater powers.
For instance, the Lovecraftian.
Lord of Time and Space Yog-Sothoth, Lord of Fertility Shub-Niggurath, Lord of Chaos Nyarlathotep, and so on.
Damien's four Ultimate Skills: two gods, two lords.
The two lords, part of the Seven Virtues series, were high-tier Ultimate Skills.
The two gods were even more extraordinary.
Azathoth and Kaos, even in mythic lore, were undisputed background-level titans.
These two skills were, without question, Damien's trump cards.
"Azathoth, Michael, Uriel."
If Damien's memory served, these three Ultimate Skills appeared in the original story.
"No, while they share the same names, my skills are clearly different."
He recalled that Michael was supposed to be the Ultimate Skill of the Lord of Justice.
Yet now, this Seven Virtue had been claimed by Violet... an incredible feat.
[Lord of Armies · Michael]
[Description: The ability to dominate infinite worlds and transforming them into an army.]
[Effects: Uses rules as a shield to block all, and concepts as a spear to judge all.]
As God's deputy, the archangel of angels, Michael was essentially God's spokesperson, purging all heretics.
This aligned perfectly with Violet's role.
This Ultimate Skill allowed Violet to be nourished by worlds, acting as Damien's divine right hand, ruling over all worlds.
It forged the rules of different worlds into an indestructible shield.
And turned all known and observed concepts into the sharpest divine spear to crush Damien's enemies.
"So, with this skill, any power Violet has analyzed becomes ineffective against me?"
Damien asked, "And I can wield any power system I've known or seen?"
"Correct."
Violet's Ultimate Skill's offensive capabilities were hard to gauge.
After all, this world's powerhouses weren't like Accelerator, vulnerable to an unseen magic attack.
The Demon Lords of the Cardinal World were genuinely formidable.
"But against standard Ultimate Skills, the Lord of Armies' conceptual spear can easily pierce their defenses."
"A god-tier skill for crushing weaker foes!"
Damien marveled, and Violet didn't object.
Her greatest pride was her devotion to protecting Damien.
With Lord of Armies, unless facing an unimaginably perverse opponent, breaking Damien's defenses was nearly impossible.
[Lord of Wisdom · Uriel]
Damien's second Seven Virtues-tier Ultimate Skill amplified his ability usage infinitely.
This included, but wasn't limited to, Thought Acceleration, Analysis and Appraisal, Parallel Processing, Chant Annulment, All of Creation, Integration and Separation, Ability Alteration, and more.
It was a super-synthesis of skills.
"Moreover, Lord of Wisdom is an unbelievably terrifying supercomputer."
With its support, Damien would shed his former combat weaknesses, becoming an absolute powerhouse.
Next were the true heavyweights among his Ultimate Skills, the god-tier, paradigm-shifting ones bearing divine names.
