.Trivia of the day #53: Out of all Divine Weapons that exist Divine Sword Asmodeus is by far the most poisonous weapon in all of creation, it doesn't matter who or what you are because its poison can even affect spiritual bodies as well, although a physical creature with Biomass would feel the full blunts of its effect even more than a spiritual one, as the poison absolutely weakens and destroy matter depending on the dosage that the wielder inflicts on the enemy.

In the Garden of Eden, the glimmering light of the beautiful moon shines upon the Garden below with elegance and grace.
At nightfall, Mystics roam the Garden to hunt for their next meal, it's because of this that none of the students in the academy had the gall to come out at night, as it was akin to suicide.
These being that is known as the Mystics are also referred to as elementals even the weakest of the bunch can be a disaster waiting to happen, if you face them alone.
However, to fight these monsters on equal footing, a great ordeal of preparation must be considered greatly ahead of time, before even stepping into the den, unless you are a named witch or warlock, or maybe someone from the Superior or IXX3l Race you wouldn't stand a chance in Eden, especially in the night time.
Thankfully amid all the intense battle that was happening all over under the night sky within the Garden of Eden, there was one person who was letting loose as they finally have an entire world filled with various creatures to play with as they were worthy opponents to fight against.
And that was Asmodeus who finally had the opportunity to use a variety of the acquired skills he had earned via his unique super stats.
First, he was using the "Bond of the Peerage skill" to empower his overall stats even beyond the constant X12 multiplier, he had acquired under the use of "Harem Empowerment" as he rushed toward the enemy, with great speed, his lust, and hunger for war and battle fuel him even more.
As the drive for bloodshed was peaking, the beast in front of him proves to be a rather powerful enemy, because every time he hits it, the shock wave and the damage of his attack just go straight into the ground.
This was due to the special racial ability of this one specific Mystic called the Pandra, and the name of this overpowered ability it possessed was called "Force-Transfer" indeed it was an amazing racial skill and Asmodeus wanted it at all cost.
As long as the Pandra's feet remain on the ground, they can transfer the force of all physical attacks downwards.
Proof of how broken this racial ability of his was, is the fact that he was traveling at a very fast speed, so fast it didn't take long before he had broken the sound barrier, with the intent of using his full power, which created a loud explosive noise shaking the earth below.
** BOOOOOM! **
With the immense speed that Asmodeus traveled toward the enemy, it didn't take long before he was right in the beast's face, which shocked it greatly as it couldn't react in time, however, the use of "Force-Transfer" works like a reflex.
So as he clenches his fist tightly and delivers a final killing blow to the creature's stomach to blow a hole through it, to kill it, the annoying ability of the Pandra activates instantly upon fright.
And the immense force of the attack, literally went downward causing the Earth below to shake and even crack and crumble, as a large crater was made below the feet of the Pandra, the force of the attack that was transferred below destroyed the surrounding area making some of the giant trees fell to the ground.
And yet despite the devastation of his combined abilities and strength, the Pandra remains unharmed, truly a fascinating creature, and a fascinating ability if he had ever seen one.
However, with no harm done to it, the Pandra made an angered look as its sharp claws came crashing down on Asmodeus, however, it broke as soon as it touches him due to the mere fact that Asmodeus's skin was insanely durable, go the point that no mortal weapon can harm him.
Asmodeus saw this with an annoyed expression and said.
"You can't hurt me with something as simple as clawing me, however, I must admit, you have an amazing cheat-like ability and if One and a half-punch man were to fight you, he would be amazed by this power of yours, because it makes you the greatest punching bag that I had ever seen, hmm... I want it, something like this would make me immune to all physical attacks."
Yes, it was a power that, anyone would want, and lucky for Asmodeus, he had means of acquiring such power with ease, Rize, a woman with Chimera Physiology due to her blood-awakening ability as a vampire, grants her the ability to plunder, and Asmodeus now has that ability.
The creature groans in pain as blood from its broken claws drips down its hand, a wound that would make it unable to hunt properly.
However, Asmodeus notice that the beast can't be physically damaged by others but it's still can hurt itself if it's careless.
Asmodeus look at the creature with a sadistic smile, admiring the being before him as the greatest punching bag he has ever crossed paths with in his life, it was a large panda-like beast, but it was round and swollen like a balloon, and not only did it stand over five meters tall and stand on two legs like a bear, it had thick white fur that acted as a protective shield around its entire body, the mystics had glowing green eyes, and a unicorn-like horn adorn beautifully on its forehead.
Seeing that its right paw was injured, the beast began to resort to its other ability, as its eyes started to glow a bright red, and then two laser beams fired out of his eyes at the speed of light, the shared heat of it was so intense it instantly cut through Asmodeus as the Pandra slice off his right leg with its extremely hot laser beams.
It then Aims at him once more as it prepares to finish off the annoying enemy in its presence, however, Asmodeus smile to himself as he said.
'Time-Stop.'
And upon initiating this the Pandra laser beam along with everything else, came to a halt, as the universe was frozen in Asmodeus' time stop.
Asmodeus instantly regenerated his legs as he said out loud.
"This was fun, however, I think I should stop playing around with him now that I know what its capable of, however, I can see why the mystic, is ranked two within the worlds power system, this Pandra has a serious amount of broken-ass abilities that it can rely on at any time, along, with its strong ass durability, combine that with its laser beams, force-transfer, and earth manipulation you have a force of nature that should not be taken lightly."
Right after he brushes himself off and continues to speak, but this time in his head.
'And to think this is a simple D-rank mystic, if you were to put this in a large city or metropolis, it could destroy it within a single night or maybe less, that much I am sure of.'
'Although to deal with a creature that is immune to all physical strikes, I have to kill it before it reacts to my attacks using its supernatural reflexes and response to danger as a trigger to activate its Force-Transfer, within my time stop everything freezes, so If the damage is done prior within this stop reality, it would be too late to do anything.'
Asmodeus thought to himself once more.
Even trying to kick this thing in the air would prove difficult due to its force transfer, so with that in mind, he was going to use a simple method of execution, thankfully this thing doesn't have a healing factor or any kind of regenerative capabilities.
So with that said, he took out Kuromaru and fed it a small portion of his blood like he always does, which made the sword of erection into a giant broad-sword, one may even say it was now a great sword seeing the share size of it, but that was the beauty about Divine Sword Asmodeus, it can grow limitlessly as long as Asmodeus can feed it with his blood.
There was nothing he could not cut with Asmodeus' assistance.
Even a Pandra would not be speared from its destructive nature, and poisonous touch, so from there he began to locate its heart, and with zero hesitation, He stabbed Asmodeus straight through the beast's chest and right through its heart; durability meant nothing before Asmodeus divine/demonic blade.
It was like stabbing butter with a heated knife because the blade stabbed its way through the back of the Pandra.
And to make sure the damage was done properly, Asmodeus slowly twist the blade around three times in its torso increasing the overall damage.
And finally, to end it all, Asmodeus places both of his thumbs at the Pandra's eyes, it burns him seeing that the Pandra was about to fire its laser once more, however, it had no way to hurt him at long range because Asmodeus destroyed that possibility by destroying its eyes.
Blinding the creature as well.
And like that he went to the side, to witness the Pandra's unavoidable downfall, as the accumulated damage take its toll on the beast.
"Resume."
He said out loud as he prepare himself to witness the damage down to the creature.
And upon resuming time once more, the sound of stabbing along with the brutal twisting sound of flesh and bones being torn and destroyed could be heard loud and clear in the background.
** CRRRRRRRRR!!!, sHKKKK!!, SPLURRT!!! **
That was soon followed by a pain-filled roar from the Pandra as it fell to its knees, confused, weak, and in a lot of unimaginable pain, it could not even see, all it knew was that it was in horrible pain.
It wasn't long before, it drop on its back, and started to get stiff on the ground, presumably this surprised Asmodeus, the beast just died, however, rigor mortis happen almost immediately after its death.
"Rigor mortis ha... shouldn't this happen a couple of hours after its death, well it doesn't matter, after all this is a fine catch indeed."
Said Asmodeus as he pull out his sword from the beast's chest tugging its large body ever so slightly, which was followed by a large eruption of blood that spray forth like a fountain.
Bathing him in the blood of his enemy.
This didn't bother Asmodeus in the slightest, after all, this is the nature of battle because bleeding and feeling pain is proof of one's existence as a warrior.
Right after he began to swallow Kuromaru back into himself, after all, his pride and joy Dvinine swords Asmodeus was Scabbered using his own body to contain its magnificence.
He then look back down at the deceased Pandra as he said.
"Well then I better start devouring this thing's blood, before it gets cold on me, this would be the fifth Mystics I have found worthy to be a part of my arsenal."
And like that Asmodeus began to partake in the blood of the Pandra, draining it to nothing but a husk, and right after he was finished, his entire body began to swell up, as white fur started to manifest, it didn't take him long before he became over five meters tall.
Of course, he took the form of the Rank-D Mystic he has just slain, which was the Pandra, after all, so far he hasn't run into any humans yet, and he can't infiltrate the academy without a proper human vessel to contain his demonic energy, overall all present as the Demon King.
So for these past five days, since he traverses the hell hole that is the garden, a make-believe paradise he thinks to himself seeing how dangerous and unforgiving this place truly was.
So far, he has killed two wind types, and three earth types Mystic, this Pandra would make the fifth he has slain thus far; the strongest Mystic he has encountered so far within Eden was a C-rank Wind type Mystic that was called the Zhenniao.
Its ability is its poisonous body, it can release deadly toxins from any part of its large body, this poison can dissolve the human body with the slightest exposure, and it taints whatever it touches with poison as well, although its poison was still not a match for Kuromaru divine poison.
Asmodeus began to walk to the nearest river bank, as he looks at the large form he had taken for himself, that he recently acquired, as said with self-satisfaction.
'Hmmm... this will do, now then let us look for a decent Mystic that I can test run this new form with, honestly, I feel like shape-shifting overall is my new favorite skill, however, chimera blood absorption only allows me to take one random skill from any being that I feed on, but using my blood awaking ability which "Primordial-Ancestor" I can rewrite the effects of Chimera blood absorption and make it so I take all racial skills of the being I devour.'
Right after Asmodeus began to move away from the river, he walks back into the wilderness to hunt for more prey and disappears into shadows with his new Pandra form as he says.
'I wonder if I will run into any humans anytime soon, I'm eager to cause a scenery hahaha haha!'
