Chapter 114: Without a Hitch [2]
The Authorities and God-King bodies started fusing with me. Their boundless might is enough to let me know that they're very powerful.
Heck, they even surpassed the power that I had under 20,000% (200-fold) enhancement.
[Your current Rank couldn't withstand the newly absorbed power. Sealing the Authorities to Demigod Realm (LVMAX).]
[Acquired the corresponding God-King Bodies. The following Authorities have been acquired.]
[Requirements met. [Life Control (LVMAX)] trait has been acquired.]
[Requirements met. [Frost Control (LVMAX)] has been acquired.]
[Requirements met. [Moon Blessing (LVMAX)] has been acquired.]
[The trait [Demon Dragon Deific Body] assimilates to the God-King body traits.]
[The trait [Darkness Control] levels up to LVMAX!]
[The trait [Light Control] levels up to LVMAX!]
A series of prompts appeared, indicating that my current power had increased. The previous Deific Body that I had fused with the other traits that I've acquired, too. I feel like I could transform into a Dragon on each God-King Body that I use as a base.
If I choose the [Everlasting Light God-King Body], I might transform into a Dragon that wields Light and Darkness. Though, the main attribute of the God-King Body is still stronger than the attributes that a [Demon Dragon] has.
The changes were still ongoing, but it was not as intense as before. Though, I felt that my body changed the most.
Maybe it's due to the God-King Bodies that I've acquired.
With the help of this new ship's inner-concealment arrays, the fluctuations that I've produced, which are comparable to Mid-Rank Deities, were successfully hidden.
If not for this, I wouldn't have chosen to initiate this lucky draw. Just the fact that huge amounts of energy will originate from this ship will bring us endless trouble in this unknown dimension.
It didn't take long for the changes to be finished. With that, I decided to take off <<Savior's Armament>>, leaving me with only the skin-tight suit that I wore before this mission.
Its function is very similar to the ones that G*nd*m Meisters wear, such as anti-shock, secondary protective layer, and so on. It is black in color, while there are some blue lines that are in it. Those are the energy veins used to enhance this suit.
There are no worries wearing it though, as it can protect me from a Low-Rank Deity's blow once at EX+ Rank. Still, it'll consume the entire durability after blocking it, causing it to be unusable.
Wait...?
"Why do I feel that I became a bit smaller?"
In my estimations, I became smaller by 4~5cm? Is this the price of my newly found-
"Ah?"
Excuse me...
"Ah?"
Why... Why does it seem like my voice became softer? Wait. No, no, this can't be happening..
I looked at my reflection on the ship's shiny floor. Removing the head portion of the suit, my now long hair scattered in the air as I saw my face.
"Who is-"
A familiar and unfamiliar face at the same time.
"-this?"
Shit.
Thousands of thoughts ran inside my head.
Why? Why do I look like a... girl?
"No, this can't be happening."
I hurriedly took off the entire suit, revealing my underwear. After seeing that my little brother is still there, I sat down on the floor in relief. At that instant, I wore my suit again.
"What the hell did just happen?"
Shiny white-golden hair flowed up until my waist. My purple irises were now replaced with blue and green irises, respectively. Only my pupils remained purple, indicating that those 3 God-King body traits are far superior to the dual-race Deific Body that I had before.
The handsomeness that I previously possessed is now gone. What replaced it is cuteness. These round eyes and my well-rounded face are just too much, rivaling Aria's cuteness.
The toned muscles that I had before are all gone. My entire body is now the epitome of fragile. Perhaps, the description "Skin as smooth as jade" isn't an exaggeration anymore for my current appearance.
My abdominal muscles are long gone, too. What replaced it is a smooth flat abdomen.
In the end, I look like a fragile girl!
'Damn it.'
I don't care about these things. I. WANT. MY. PREVIOUS. APPEARANCE. BACK.
I didn't want to be beautiful. I even wanted to show off my handsomeness to my parents and that sister of mine, too!
'Think.'
When did this begin? Right, it was when I acquired the new God-King Body traits. If I narrow it down further, the one that must've caused this is...
'Primordial Yin God-King Body.'
When a balance between two things breaks, one side would dominate over the other. If it's caused by my lack of Yang Energy, it's very understandable.
The solution to this is very simple: Find a Primordial Yang God-King Body.
But...
'Where would I find one?!'
That Life Assimilator is just my lucky encounter. With my luck that defied the heavens, I got the opportunity to have a Special Lucky Draw after killing it.
Take note that Lucky Draws doesn't happen every single time. This means I'll have to rely on my luck just to have my previous appearance back!
The luck required to do this is against the heavens...
I felt slightly depressed for a while. I didn't care about my appearance before, as long as it gives me more power and doesn't change it too much, I'm fine with it.
I should be happy now that I've become stronger, but why do I feel like the price for it is large?
'Aria will still like me, even with this appearance.'
Knowing her, I am very confident that this wouldn't affect us. After regaining my confidence, I slowly stood up.
Changing my appearance to a random guy, I stepped out of the ship. Before I did so, I upgraded <<Sword of Destruction>> and my newly learned stealth technique, <<Inconspicuous Rock>>.
Unfortunately, I never got to use this much back in the distortion plane. Since most of the people in that city are Immortals, this doesn't do stuff. Though, it can conceal me perfectly against a Low-Rank Deity if at <<Perfection>> level.
As these two techniques reached <<Perfection>> level Mastery, I comprehended something intangible. I sensed that if I have the corresponding Authorities that match these 2 techniques, it'll be integrated with them.
Thankfully, it never caused any mirages, illusions, and the like. I only felt that I understood a math question after solving it for a long time.
Even though it couldn't hide the vibes that I am giving, this is fine. I slowly spread out the range of [A Reader's Perspective], allowing me to gain some common sense of this world.
As for using my [Truth-Piercing Eyes], I chose not to. [A Reader's Perspective] is enough for me to know the information in this dimension. Moreover, I wouldn't want to know some forbidden knowledge that might endanger my life.
That time when I used it before, I was lucky that I didn't know more than the general trend of that plane. If I wasn't lucky, I might've accidentally alarmed some terrifying existence back then.
Tap-!
I jumped off from the hatch while using my mental power to dissipate the force, allowing me to land quietly on the ground.
Shiny black metal tiles filled this dock together with the noises from some people. As I looked farther, I saw more ships parked there.
I was about to step on the stairs to head outside when I detected something unbelievable.
"{I might not be able to return to Sardinia. Sigh... I should've gone with her when she went to Aindell!}"
I read the sentences that formed inside my head softly, shock brewing within me.
'???'
Did I just see... a fellow transmigrator?
