Chapter 579: Father and Son (4)

Rip! It was as if a piece of paper had been torn apart and stuffed into a small hole as Hades Spirit Eating Sword sucked in the world of Kronos conscious mind between its serrated teeth.

Ill kill you Ill kill you all!As though he had completely lost his sanity, the Demonism realized what Yeon-woo was attempting to do. His body expanded as he gathered back the opaque darkness that he had gushed out, trying to accelerate the destruction of the world of Kronos conscious mind. Kronos black wind lashed more violently to stop the Demonism, but nothing he did seemed to slow the Demonism down.

Rumble! Suddenly, pockets of emptiness started appearing around the Demonism, black chains shooting out of them. The chains wrapped around the Demonism, overlapping with each other. Even though he was tightly wound up, the Demonisms skin burst through the small openings between the overlapping chains. Whenever this happened, more chains wrapped around the gap to seal the Demonism. Eventually, the Demonism was as tightly bound as though he were in a cocoon.

Clatter! Clatter! However, the chains couldnt fully contain the Demonism, and the cocoon started shaking and cracking as if it would give way at any moment from the Demonisms struggles. Whenever the chains were stretched to their limits, they would begin to make ominous, clashing sounds. Throughout all this, Hades Spirit Eating Sword continued to devour everything.

[A considerable amount of holy power has been devoured. The amount has passed the maximum limit.]

[Warning! Too much holy power has been devoured. Your current body cannot absorb the holy power you have devoured. It is recommended that you attempt the absorption after a period of preparation.]

[Warning! The opponent you are attempting to devour has too much power. If the difference is too large, Hades Spirit Eating Sword will overload. This could cause a collapse of the power you are attempting to devour.]

[Warning! The number of legends that you are attempting to devour is too great. Devouring the legends improperly may result in dangerous ego swapping. It is recommended that you immediately stop the devouring process.]

[Warning! The size of the being you are trying to absorb is too large]

[Warning! The devouring of]

s

The warning messages came one after another. Although they all relayed different messages, they advised Yeon-woo to stop. It was impossible to devour a supreme god, especially one that had almost reached the emperor level. Even Zeus, who had taken over Kronos throne, had found it too difficult to take away all of Kronos possessions. In the end, he had shared them with his brothers, Poseidon and Hades. Furthermore, to prevent anyone else from obtaining Kronos remaining possessions, Zeus had locked them away in Tartarus.

And yet, Yeon-woo was trying to devour all these possessions. It was a crazy attempt. Additionally, Yeon-woo was trying to do this unfathomable act even though he hadnt fully transcended or exuviated. The sheer amount would likely crush Yeon-woos spirit. However, Yeon-woo believed in the capacities of Hades Spirit Eating Sword. Whenever he was bumped against a limit, the Spirit Eating Sword always found a way to elevate and develop Yeon-woo further. Furthermore, Yeon-woo trusted the Philosophers Stone.

[Warning! The target you are trying to devour is too large.]

[Warning! The target you are trying to devour is too large.]

[You have gone beyond your limits.]

[You have reached the status: limit exceeded.]

[You have reached the status: unable to devour.]

[You have reached the status: unstable spirit.]

[The Factors that have not been devoured are becoming unstable. The teeth of Hades Spirit Eating Sword are starting to shake.]

[Exceeding your limit has placed your body into overload. It has been locked down. Cracks are starting to appear throughout parts of your body.]

[The formation of cracks is accelerating.]

[The process of collapse has started.]

[The skill Regeneration has been initiated.]

[Regeneration is helping the collapsed portions of your body recover.]

[The Sin Stone (Gula and Superbia) is shaking. Gula (Greed) is unsatisfied and wishes to continue devouring. It is looking for another way and is greedily baring its teeth.]

[Superbia (Pride) is attempting to contain the unstable divine power.]

The Philosophers Stone possessed two qualities that were now fully reinvigorated. Superbia (Pride) would not acknowledge any limits. It sent tremendous vitality to Yeon-woos body to contain the unstable divine power, funneling it to the Philosophers Stone and attempting to subjugate it. The divine power fought the suppression, but the more it struggled, the more Superbia tried to crush it.

It was the same for Gula (Greed). It took control of Hades Spirit Eating Sword, which had begun to slow its devouring, and enlarged the swords teeth. The sword no longer restricted itself to devouring the world of Kronos conscious mind but greedily sought to devour the entire true body of Kronos. The Philosophers Stone had gone into a frenzy. This was why Yeon-woo had endured overload and continued to absorb all of Kronos possessions despite the spirit-tearing pain.

Crack! Crunch! Though this was the world of Kronos conscious mind, Yeon-woo could hear the cracking and crunching sounds of his body as it began to change.

[Universal Recovery]

[Rank: Power]

[Mastery: 0.0%]

[Summary: Those who wish to become gods must be steadfast, and those who wish to become kings must be able to defend their throne. Even in the face of unrelenting storms, the one who wields this divine skill must maintain a steadfast spirit, like an evergreen tree with deep roots. You may even escape from the clutches of death. The spring of death shall always be with you.]

[*Status Return

The peak status of your body and spirit shall be duplicated and stored as an Idea. Regardless of the damage you sustain, even if your brain stops operating or you are on the brink of death, your body and spirit will regenerate from this Idea. The amount of time and magic power required for this process will be based on the status of your body and spirit.]

[*Defying Death

As you seek the throne of Kronos, who reached the highest mastery of death, the domain of death will be under your control. You will be able to defy death with the data stored in your Idea. However, once Defying Death is used, the skill cannot be used again for a minimum of one week to a maximum of one year.]

Yeon-woos eyes widened as he looked at the renewed Regenerationnow the Universal Recovery skill. Defying death! No matter how powerful and great the Regeneration skill was, it required a huge amount of magic power and could not bring one back from the dead. However, once Yeon-woo acquired the divine domain of death, which was one of the halves of Kronos spring, he managed to cross the boundary.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Yeon-woo could feel the spring turning in his heart. The left wing of his Sky Wing began to resonate. Yeon-woos divine domain greatly expanded from his Philosophers Stone to the spring of death and then to his Sky Wings.

[The Giant Demonic Divine Draconic Body is attempting to evolve.]

[A search for a new possibility is being undertaken.]

Yeon-woos body was trying to evolve, and with his increased limits, he started devouring a greater amount of divine power. He could feel his spirit developing until it seemed to reach a limit. At that moment, he realized: Ive hit a wall.

He knew that he could not enhance his spirit further. The limitation wasnt because he hadnt reached the seventh-step Dragon Body awakening. It was because he had reached the absolute limits of a mortal. He could no longer delay his exuviation and transcendence. Since he was already at his limits as a mortal, it was time to exuviate. However, Yeon-woo did not try to foolishly hurry the process. He could exuviate and transcend at any time; right now, he had to focus on defeating and completely devouring the Demonism, which he could finally accomplish.

No! As he watched the world of Kronos conscious mind and his own opaque darkness being devoured, the Demonism could not help crying out. However, his cries faded like a dying fire. The Demonisms expanded body was also shrinking at a fast rate as it made deflating sounds. The world of Kronos conscious mind started to collapse, and a new darkness took its placethe world of Yeon-woos conscious mind was taking over.

After a countless number of messages, the sound of chains moving rose as the Demonism returned to his normal appearance. Rumble! The chains tightened around his arms, holding him up. The Demonism tried to escape from the chains by squirming around, but with his powers completely devoured, he was nothing more than an empty shell. He couldnt even sustain Yeon-woos appearance, which he had taken, and he quickly returned to appearing as a dark shadow. However, the opaque darkness continued to flow out of the Demonism through his wounds. Kronos put Scythes blade on the Demonisms neck, making him look like a prisoner on the execution block.

s

You twono matter whatIll kill you! Though his body had deflated, and he lacked any power, the madness in the Demonisms eyes still gleamed. Yeon-woo looked at the Demonism and couldnt help ridiculing him.

I think you should first understand the situation youre in, right? As soon as Yeon-woo finished speaking, Kronos swung down Scythe.

Slash!

[You have successfully completed your quest.]
