"What do you mean?" Hermes wondered. "I don't feel any different- Huh?"
Hermes had been too concentrated in the crisis in front of him to realize this sooner. His Divine Core was fluttering with energy he had never felt before, and the rest of his body was being refined every single second that passed.
This glistening gold energy of rich essence and beauty was not Mana, which had became incredibly vast within him… No, it was something even greater, something superior to Mana, Divine Power!
"T-This is…?! When?! I didn't even felt it!"
Hermes exclaimed in surprise.
"That Dragon has an incredible power… His mere magic and healing powers can grant strength to others. Perhaps he did it without realizing, or maybe he intended it that way. By merely healing our bodies with his divine powers, such power leaked into your bodies and mana cores, boosting them." Alma said. "Although my Mana Core cannot increase in Rank even with that, my soul and body ended absorbing it all and not my Mana Core, making my body overflow with divine power and my soul too, they had grown several hundreds of times as strong as before, I can take way more burden than before!"
Alma couldn't cultivate due to the Curse inflicted upon her by Yggdrasil, the Rank of her Mana Core was fixed at Rank 1 and was also element-less. Nonetheless, even then, she had an infinite supply of Mana, or well, as much as the whole damn world of Yggdrasil had.
Maybe her Mana Core couldn't grow stronger and reach higher, divine ranks. However, body and soul can be cultivated. Because her Mana Core couldn't absorb this divine power, her body and soul did. Her soul, which was small and gray-colored, the mere soul of a mortal, grew larger and beautiful, overflowing with Mana which allowed for an even more insane amount of Mana without any burdens, her previous limits were completely broken! Her body was well, was reinforced several times, and she could reinforce it a million little times more by using the [Body Strengthening] No-Attribute Magic Spell several times over her body, with no burden whatsoever.
Everyone felt it. The same way Drake was able to raise into divinity Benladann and Benladra back then by accident when he used his Divine Power to forcefully heal their wounds and exhaustion after defeating the Scaled God… it was the same here. He had imbued too much divine power, making them all forcefully break out of their Rank 6 Mana Cores, and ascend simultaneously into Rank 7, and not just Initial Stage, the twins were Mid Stage while Hermes was Upper Stage.
Root was already a Divine Plant Dragon of Rank 7 Peak Stage, after the boost, he broke out into Rank 8 Initial Stage out of the blue. This was a unique power that Drake developed by himself, mostly thanks to the combination of his Dragon King's Authority, an innate power he had yet to fully grasp and which oftentimes acted completely alone, and thanks to his system as well.
Perhaps even Callon and the unique skill users they rescued might have received some sort of buff too, but they were already gone and into safety. It was now turn of these newly risen gods to protect the beautiful port city of Heaven Port, which held within such big and rich history. It was a monument to people's will to survive, and also one of the towns in Jotunheim that praised the Frost Queen every day and even more in the festivities…
"While that lizard is occupied fighting my Elite Troops, I'll destroy this place once and for all. Although the Vampire Venerable asked this to me, I am still doing it as my own choice. After all, I utterly detest this town and its history. The only true venerable everyone should be praising is Oberon!" Greenwood's voice echoed atop the skies of Heaven Port, as Drake, completely busy dealing with his own problems looked at the distance.
"I might as well send some backup there as well. However, my plan ended helping, the Divine Aura I imbued into them allowed them to Rank Up into Gods smoothly." Drake said with a smile. "I lost a few hundred thousand Divine Power, but nothing I cannot recover later… Divine Ice Dragon Golems! Divine Wind Dragon Spirits, go!"
Not only Ice Dragon Golems, but Wind Dragon Spirits were summoned one after the other, forming an army of a hundred and twenty strong! While the Ice Dragon Golems were the bulkier and defensive walls, the Divine Wind Dragon Spirits resembled majestic flying serpentine dragons from Asian myths, they were incredibly nimble and fast, and above all, incredibly strong at long-ranged offensive magic, they were very weak physically, but that's where the ice dragon golems protected them.
Although Drake had other elements, Ice and Wind had never failed him, and were the ones he trusted the most and which he held the most experience using. However, if things became harder, he wouldn't hesitate in trying out other elemental combinations like when he did against Gluttony, the fearsome aberration not even Greenwood could defeat yet Drake ultimately decimated.
"Greenwood…! We won't let you!"
Alma roared back at Greenwood's words. Her hate for this man went beyond anybody's hate for anything else. He had ruined her new life since she was reincarnated and had turned everything for the worse!
With utmost fury, a wave of gray Mana flowed outside of her body, it was small at first, but it continued expanding… and expanding, and expanding, and expanding, with countless more layers to reinforce its effects and power, quickly reaching the surrounding Mechs!
"[Mana Disruption]! [Mana Overcharge]!"
CRAAAASSSHH!!!
Suddenly, gray lightning covered dozens of mechs surrounding her. With the boost that her new Divine Soul gave to her Rank 1 Magic, the magic she conjured was simply no longer mortal grade either, or with the aid of endless surplus of Mana to constantly level up the strength of her spell as much as she liked, the mechs suddenly fried their inner circuits, falling into the floor one by one like flies!
"What?! W-What with that power?! How come… she cannot become a goddess, can't she?! So how…?!"
Greenwood was left shocked, Alma had already reached god-like levels of magic while being Rank 1, overcoming the Curse with her powerful unique skill.
And as this battle continued, the menace continued approaching from the distance, the clouds slowly began to dissipate as it came closer… Its enormous metallic exterior was completely black like the night, and its eyes red like blood. And within its Core, Chaotic Energy flowed madly.
