King of succubus

Chapter 253 To Earn More, You Have To Take More Risks.

As Linn had explained, to take a step into the divine kingdom, a person needs to obtain the qualifications of the heavens, commonly known as divine tribulations.

In addition, the level of understanding of affinities and the level of control of laws, the amount of mana of an emperor mage is also a decisive factor in triggering tribulations.

An emperor mage must not only have at least twice as much mana as other mage emperors, but he must also be able to feel the divine mana.

Mortal planets such as Alzania, which are rank-three planets and have no divine energy in their core, an individual must necessarily go through the absorption of the divine energy contained in the stones of Odins to acquire a significant amount of divine energy to trigger heavenly tribulations.

Knowing all this, Alvine was convinced that with the current amount of the divine aura in his aura, he would make a perfect breakthrough that may never have been recorded in history. But being someone who is not looking for perfection but for excellence, this quantity was still insufficient to satisfy his desires!

'As I am in a place where divine tribulations will not be likely to be triggered anytime soon, it is an incredible chance for me to make my ascent to the divine rank with 100% divine auras. But to do this, I still have to meditate and absorb more divine energy with divine spiritual stones. Even if it is a suicidal method (since the more divine auras a mage emperor has, the more ferocious heavenly tribulations), I can't even imagine the gains after surviving the tribulations.' He said to himself while waiting for Linn's answer, who was silent after hearing his explanations.

After an indefinite time, Linn finally returned to reality.

"Ahem, if I understood correctly, you say that you did not suffer divine tribulations to reach the divine rank?"

"That's what I haven't stopped telling you since just now." Alvine retorted for the umpteenth time.

"But this makes no sense. I'm not saying it's impossible, but no matter how much I look at your current situation, I see only two possibilities that will be dangerous as each other." She said, sitting on the bed.

"..." Alvine remained silent to let her continue even if he had a vague idea of the results that worried him himself.

"First, it is already too risky for you to undergo divine tribulations with such a quantity of divine auras. I only think such a thing had already happened in the past. The reason why many mortals perish during their ascents to the divine rank is that they manifested 20~30% of divine auras before triggering divine tribulation. In other words, the divine thunders they undergo for rebirth are more ferocious than what their bodies can assume. But you not only have you exceeded these standards with an almost golden aura, but you actually want to be more greedy than that by completely changing the nature of your aura."

"..."

Still seeing Alvine silent, Linn's lips move slowly as she coldly pronounced the fate that will await Alvine if he continues his madness: "If you increase even one percent of your aura, you will also increase the percentage of your death. You already have an 80% bad luck of dying during your divine tribulations; by continuing like this, be sure that you will have a hundred percent to die if your mana completely turns golden!" She announced to him without restraint.

"... What about the second possibility? I mean, what will happen if the first possibility fails and my mana reaches 100% purity?" Alvine acted as if he had not heard Linn's warning and asked calmly.

"...Your trust is commendable, but it will lead you to your death if you continue to be so stubborn." The more Linn heard his words, the more frustrated she became as he tried to convince him.

"Sigh, it's not out of overconfidence, Linn. But just like me, you also know that the greater the risks, the more excessive the rewards will be. I am someone who pursues goals and principles, just like any living being in this universe. One of them is the quest for power, not to let my enemies walk on me. In addition, this luck is not only unique but also enormous. So I can't let it pass so easily." He replied in a deep tone supported by his aura that resonated throughout the room.

"I'm not the kind of idiot who justifies his actions by saying that he is not afraid to die. But on the other hand, to prevent being the 'Punching-ball' of enemies who are only looking to use me for their own winnings, it is imperative to be the strongest. And believe it or not, I would achieve this goal. If my chances and my destiny are insufficient, then I would plug the holes with my will and my principles." He added.

Following these words, Linn expires with disappointment. "...Very good. My second hypothesis is...if you survive despite everything, you will probably be the most powerful divine mage in this universe."

"Hm? Become only a more powerful mage among the divine mages?" He asked with a frown.

"...Maybe you will reach the primary rank." She added in an uncertain tone.

"Only that?" Alvine continued.

"Tsk, your greed has no limits?!"

"Haha~, I won't call it greed, but ambition. Although, it's ironic to hear these words from someone who wants to reach the legendary rank, don't you find?" He retorted these words by stretching before starting by tidying up his room by compressing in nothingness the divine spiritual stones devoid of energy with his gravitational affinity.

"Thank you for your information, Miss Linn. I would appreciate your help, once again, by borrowing a few hundred Odins stones. I will reimburse you without fail and also all the other Odins stones you have provided me so far." These were his last words before he entered the bathroom to cleanse his body of all the dirt accumulated during the four months.

Linn looked at his back with complex eyes but finally decided to leave him the final decision.

'Now that I think about it, I had even forgotten the reason that pushed me to come here.' She said to herself after remembering the information she had acquired in Galiel's life book.

So, instead of leaving, she decided to wait for Alvine in the bedroom.

As for the latter, once alone in the bathroom, he summoned one of his random shadow soldiers who had a bow as his main weapon.

*Stay here without doing anything; I'll be back in a short time. Ah, one last thing, do your best to hide your aura. Even if this woman is not the type to spy on me when I take my bath, she has become dangerously curious these last times.* He ordered by telepathy.

The female silhouette with a sizeable three-meter arc on her back nodded her head.

Following this, Alvine opened a portal and went to the shadow dimension.

-Rumble!!!!!

But unlike the peaceful and mortally calm place he had always known, as soon as he appeared, the sky suddenly turned to blood red because of the crimson thunders that kept rumbling.

"Hm? What's going on here?" He wondered, looking at the threatening sky.

But it didn't take long before he realized the incredible torment after his exit to the castle. In front of him, while he frowns, he can see the thunders gather and create a giant red dragon that instinctively targets him with its mouth open!

"Fuck! Don't tell me that is...!" Before the thunder dragon reached him, he instantly teleported two hundred meters from him!

-Bamm!!!

With a loud noise following the dragon's attack, Alvine looked at where the thunder had just struck with incredulous eyes.

"This bastard can create a small hole in the soil of this planet?! How deadly would this attack have been if he had struck me?!" He said to himself in a cold tone.

But instantly, another thunder dragon manifested itself in the sky; its target? Alvine, of course!

'It's...I need to get out of here to organize my thoughts.' He says to Himself by leaving the dimension before the second attack ends.

At the same time, he appeared in the bathroom in a dark mood.

"What the hell exactly has happened?! Has an enemy invaded my haven of peace?! No, even my shadow soldiers were hostile to Dalvine, who had tried to attack me by surprise. At that time, I was forced to order them to stay in retirement since it was only training. But this time, they did not move their little fingers to take care of this mysterious attack. I see only one explanation, the divine tribulations!" He said to himself, looking at the woman with the bow next to him.

"Sigh, I didn't want to teleport to the planet of the Punishers for fear of spoiling this unique chance. But I almost ruined everything because of my eagerness to want to talk to Sabrina. But now, I have no choice but to send a message through one of my shadow soldiers to ask him for advice."

With this conclusion, he touched the forehead of his subordinate and shared his memories with her. "You know what you must do now, don't you?" He asked after completing the process.

The female silhouette nodded and entered the shadow of Alvine.

Following this, he took off his clothes and entered the small Spa to relax and, at the same time, organized his thoughts to understand with certainty what had just happened.

"After seeing such destructive power, I will surely die despite my increased resistance to lightning. Compared to divine punishments, the thunders of just now is, I'm sure, more powerful than the lightning of the Brave King! How am I supposed to survive nine successive attacks with such lightning? The nonsense in this situation is I haven't even transformed my aura one hundred percent yet?! Sigh; I now understand Linn's concerns. Hmm, must I give up so easily just because the challenge seemed unachievable? If my constitution is weak, it simply means that I need to improve my physical abilities to resist the worst." He said to Himself while enjoying his bath.
