LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1031: A New Power 1
-----
(Blake's POV)
Before I could do anything else, I ended falling unconscious, the darkness swallowed me, and the sense of exhaustion was the only thing that my body and soul knew. The union between body and soul that I had with my spirits and the powers of Mammon's entire soul all faded away, as I fell into a deep slumber.
But it wasn't as if I wasn't conscious, no, as I found myself within this darkness, the sparkling rainbow-colored light illuminated my path. The memories and life of Mammon showed itself as bubbles, scenes of his long life.
His origins as an Archangel, son of God, and his fall from grace as he was defeated alongside his brothers led by Lucifer, how he was confined in Hell, and slowly transformed, mutating into the archdemon we now know.
Mammon had his own story, certainly, there was a lot of terrible things through his life, despite having been born as a near perfect being, created directly by this being known as God by many, he was still flawed.
An unhealthy obsession towards the material world made him susceptible to Lucifer's convincing speech, as he rallied the angels together to fight against God's army and reclaim their freedom from the chains of the demiurge.
Despite all the things he suffered due to his own creation, I couldn't find any speck of pity for his story within me, and I was still glad I killed him.
However, what intrigued me more was this rainbow light, the power he had achieved.
By fusing and refining the spiritual power of hundreds of thousands of elves, together with the soul of their King, and his own, complete demon soul together.
He was incredibly close to become a divine being of his own, something embodying divine, demonic, and spiritual altogether.
If I had allowed him to reach that stage, I don't know if I would have ever been able to defeat him. It was something that could even surpass all my strength, and everyone else.
We defeated him before that ever happened, but he was so close that the remaining power behind, which I absorbed through the Authority of Gluttony was too powerful.
I require the assistance of all my Vampire Spirits and to combine with them to resist that power from completely consuming and destroying my soul.
It was harsh… but I managed to absorb the power and temporarily transform into something I never thought possible.
It was a both a Divine and Demonic form, that amplified my powers of Creation to a completely divine level, or perhaps even beyond that…
In that moment, I had also learned of Chris' death.
Without hesitation, I immediately healed every single citizen from their curse, using most of the power I took from Mammon.
And then, using whatever was left, I revived my friend.
And I would have done it again without hesitation.
It was a tremendous amount of power, but what's the point of power without people to protect with it?
Sacrificing almost all of it to save these citizens, and my dear friend, it was simply not even a question.
Yet… I was unable to revive Chris as I had envisioned.
He was indeed revived, he's alive once more.
However, the laws of the world of Spiritias, were much stronger than I had ever imagined.
I often thought of them as quite loose, but I quickly realized that this world was indeed a Fragment of Heaven, and besides the Holy Spirits, which could be called the "Gods", there was something greater.
I would call it… The Will of Spiritias, a will of the entire world itself, a mind that encompassed the entirety of this Fragment of Heaven, and it had laws, laws everyone had to obey.
Why? Mostly because if not, these actions could disrupt the flow of reality and elements within the world itself.
And what I did could be considered a taboo amongst taboos to the world, even if the Holy Spirits might or might not realize it.
And because of this problem that rose, where Chris soul could simply not stick to his body…

I had to do something I would have preferred to never do to a friend, and something that… I don't know if Chris would ever forgive me for.
…
FLASH!
The rainbow light once more shone brightly, I could swear I had used most of that power to save everyone, but some of it remained, aside from Mammon's memories.
I followed the light, resembling a rainbow-colored star, until I found myself in another place within my Soul Scape, perhaps.
"This is…"
It resembled an endless cosmos, stars shining brightly within a dark blue and black background, colorful nebulas spread around, and I could even see small planets.
Is this some sort of representation of my soul? Perhaps of my memories, or even my powers…
And that rainbow light, it shone the brightest in that moment, floating in the middle of all, resembling a six-pointed star.
"You… Just what are you? You're not just a power, and you're not Mammon either…"
I was sure, Mammon's mind was completely destroyed, he was dead.
But this power had a personality of its own and moved on its own too.
I walked towards the spiritual rainbow star, which as I drew closer, made its aura grow larger, encompassing me.
Demonic, divine, spiritual powers, all converging together seamlessly.
I touched the star with my fingers, the fingers of my astral body projection.
FLAAASH!
And then the rainbow light encompassed me completely, fusing with my very self. The cosmic scenery around me also changed, beginning to spin rapidly around me.
And then everything converged back to me, as I felt both my Soul and Physique grow by leaps and bounds, and my Spirit Orb… to evolve, absorbing this power.
I had hit Level Cap and I thought I needed to do the trial everyone does.
But this… it felt like it was even allowing me to cheat the system and completely ignore that, my Spirit Orb was evolving.
And the Divinities, Spirits, Realm, and the Spirit Treasures contained within it all were also evolving!
"T-This is…?!"
FLUOSH!
