Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1047 Awake

Chapter 1047  Awake

"How are the preparations going?" Hiraku asked into the masses at the annual Jungle Meeting.

"The 1053rd Pentagon Fort was completed four months ago, and the combined population of the Sacred Desert and the Untamed Jungle reached one billion three weeks ago. Michael mentioned something about five billion Links of Loyalty, which includes the jungle monsters, but only a fifth are Summons," LIlica answered, while Kaleb added.

"The number of Awakened bound to Michael expanded to 50,000, with 2,500 being Divine Subordinates. We also have 2,050 Super Awakened, but only 359 have ascended to Divine Lifeforms at this point. The remaining Super Awakened are 6th Tier Awakened and mostly close to the Peak of Tier-6. Half of them, maybe more, will ascend to Divine Lifeforms in the next five years. That being said, they're stronger than the average Divine Lifeform. We do not have to worry about their prowess and progress."

"The Supreme Human Alliance has been retaliating for a while now, but their end is near. Michael said his main body would awaken soon, right? The SHA is done for." Frederik pointed out the obvious, the corners of his lips tugging into a vibrant smile.

Everyone was excited about the events happening in the next few years, but the meeting was also veiled by dormant tension. It would only take a minor incident for the tension to erupt and fill everyone with uncontrollable worry and fear.

But that was only obvious. Michael was about to wake and return to the surface of the cosmos, where he would face the Primal head-on. Their Lord and friend was going to best the strongest beings of the universe. He would fight them alone in an attempt to help everyone and solve all future problems long before they would affect those Michael loved more than anything.

"Is there any way we can help Michael? What about pushing the Untamed Jungle's growth up by a notch?" One of the Super Awakened asked, but the others shook their heads.

"The Untamed Jungle is already five times larger than it had been when it advanced to an Ancient Region. Neither the jungle monsters nor our workers can expand as fast as the Untamed Jungle. All we can do is continue building Pentagon Forts and summon more subjects. We can also continue telling everyone about Michael's history. The events he'd witnessed and caused are like the tales of a hero from the bedtime stories my parents told me when I was little. We can do the same with Michael and help him power up through his Godly Faith Soultrait."

"We can also ensure the new summons will love Michael and believe in him and his persona as much as the older Summons do. If we do that, Michael should gain some more strength. Of course, I do not know how much stronger Michael will grow from the trust of a few million Summons, but the better, the firmer their Links of Loyalty. He gains twice or thrice as much as ordinary Lords from the Links of Loyalty!"

Everyone nodded slowly, but the dormant tension intensified rather than dying down from all the talk. The more they talked about the future, the more their inability to extend their helping hand to Michael was pure torture. It was terrifying to be unable to do anything.

"All we can do is to give our utmost and trust Michael. He never betrayed us and will certainly not start now. We can trust him!"

The members attending the meeting nodded their heads in unison. They came up with a few plans to push Michael's strength up a notch and set them into motion. Some plans would require some time to come to fruition, while others had more short-term benefits than others. One way or another, each plan granted Michael a tiny power-up.

That was all Michael sensed when his main body's eyes shot open. The last remnants of the Primordial Curse enveloped him, shrouding Michael from the weave of the universe as long as possible. He stretched his body and savored the abundance of power coursing through his veins. If he had considered himself powerful when he fought the Volcano God, Michael would have to label his current condition 'overpowered'. However, the better comparison was to assess his current state as a vast ocean while he was a mere pearl of water when he fought the Volcano God.

That was how Michael felt at this moment.

Each of his Soultrait Symbols had been upgraded to 10-Star, the Aethyr bound to his Soul Sphere was no more – it was replaced by Pure Aether entirely –and the tiny Divinities of the God Curses were now massive Divinities. It was important to note that the Divinities of the God Curses were grander than the originals. The God Curses noticed how compatible Michael was with their Divinities, but that was not the reason his Divinities were grander than the Original. Godly Faith was the main reason his Divinities were larger than they should have been, and the bound Soultrait Symbols pushed to 10-Star was one of the minor reasons the Divinities dared grow beyond their intended size.

Up until now, the God Curses were surprised about Divinities' sizes, the power accumulated within them, and Michael's compatibility to them.

However, the size and power of the Nature Heart were also surprising. It was no longer a Divinity Fragment but had transformed into a proper Divinity, which was connected to the core of the Untamed Jungle. The Untamed Jungle was now considered Michael's main Divinity. The whole region was his Divinity, as the flora and fauna connected to the core of his Divinity fueled it with power. The Nature Divinity was still growing. After all, the Untamed Jungle never ceased growing, either.

"It feels good to be back," Michael chuckled, turning left and right. No one was there. Not even Loki was anywhere close. Seer allowed him to see everything in the planetary system and beyond, but nothing existed. No one was anywhere nearby.

[You were never bored, so don't act like you disappeared for centuries or even millennia! Your secondary body took care of your boredom. You even spent your daughter's childhood with her. Don't even think about telling us how much you have missed in the last two decades. You didn't miss anything!] Fenrir growled, but the wolf didn't mean anything bad with it.

Michael chuckled lightly and felt his fully grown connection with the Beast God Curse. He closed his eyes for a moment and sensed his Divinities, Soultraits, the Pure Aether, his Soul Sphere, and every single Link of Loyalty in great detail. When he opened his eyes again, Michael smiled vibrantly.

"I am not complaining. But even if I were, what would you do about it, Fenrir?" Michael smiled, only for the wolf to sneer. [What's your plan? Our father is nowhere to be seen. The Rebels must have had their fight with the Primal Pantheon already. That means…you can either search the Primal or attract their attention by going crazy.] Jormungandr hissed.

But Hel added, [I don't want to confuse you, but your Divinities are still not part of the universe's weave. That means…you are not a god yet according to the weave.]

"Which makes no sense. The Volcano God was powerful in the past but at my current level…I would consider the Volcano God no more than a puny ant."

[It doesn't make sense, yes. But maybe there is a limit we didn't take into consideration before. Fenrir, Hel, and I are still connected to the weave. Fenrir's connection is the weakest since he was severed from the weave the longest, but the connection exists nonetheless. I think our connection to the weave prevents your Divinities from binding to the weave. It should be similar with the Nature Heart. It is connected to the Untamed Jungle, part of the Origin Expanse rather than the weave. Therefore, your Divinities are already connected to other entities rather than to you.]

"Do I need the connection to the weave? No, I don't. It is merely a measurement by the Primal to label someone as dangerous or not. That being said, the Primal should have a much harder time sensing me and my powers. That's good."

[Do you want to wait for our father to hunt the first Primal?] Fenrir asked, unable to conceal the excitement in his voice.

But Michael shook his head.

"I have something far more entertaining up my sleeves," he responded. What do you think about crushing the Supreme Human Alliance once and for all?"

[Don't you want to wait for Selena and the others to keep cleansing Blood Incursion from the Hyuman population?] Jormungandr asked to which Michael nodded approvingly.

"Of course. I am going to kill those holding the SHA together. There is no need to obliterate entire planetary systems now that I'm strong enough to breeze through their ranks to reach those who're responsible for all of this!"

[You're removing the head of the snake rather than its tail. That's smart.] Hel said, only for Jormungandr to hiss.

[Sorry.] Hel added, but the hint of amusement in her voice didn't go unnoticed.

"Let's behead the Supreme Human Alliance and get rid of them once and for all!"
