Chapter 1551 Preparations

-----

After a month of eating Demon Meat, including their internal organs, the crystalized core inside their chests, their brain, eyes, horns, bones, claws, fangs, and literally almost everything out of them, for hundred after hundreds of corpses, and by constantly cultivating my Demonic Energy and trying to control Gluttony's powers. There were many results.

[You have finished digesting hundreds of demonic beasts and demon corpses.]

[You earned +250.000.000 Demonic Energy.]

[Your Resistance against Demonic Energy damage has increased greatly.]

[The [Demonic Physique (SSS)] Demonic Ability has greatly improved. Your Demonic Physique is becoming a greater part of your own body.]

-----

[Demonic Physique (SSS)]

A Demonic Ability created after the absorption of large quantities of Demonic Energy into the body.

Grants the ability for non-demons to gain a Demonic Physique, allowing for the flow of Demonic Energy without causing as much damage or destruction into the body.

The Body can be constantly reinforced through the usage of Demonic Energy, and the risks of the body being destroyed or damaged decrease exponentially.

Boosts Flow of Demonic Energy through the Physique by +1000% -> 1050%

Resistance against Demonic Energy Corrosion and Demonic Attribute Damage increases by +10% -> +50%

Decreases Damage Taken from Demonic Energy flowing inside the Physique by -55% -> -85%

Enhances the Proficiency on using Demonic Energy through the Physique to unleash physical techniques or attacks by +700% -> +730%

Increases the Power and Effects of Techniques, Abilities, Magic, and Skills that use Demonic Energy by +500% -> +530%

When fighting Demon-type foes, your Demonic Physique can absorb 5% -> 15% of the Damage inflicted from Demonic Energy-fueled abilities or magic as Demonic Energy up to a certain point.

The user can further Refine their own Physique through this Ability, cultivating a True Demon's Physique, unlocking new Abilities.

[You have reached the Limit of how much you can increase your Demonic Physique's Power.]

[To further breakthrough, please increase the Rank of your Demon King Seed.]

"Amazing…"

I looked at my own body. Although it seemed as normal as ever in my humanoid form, I could notice my muscles have become even stronger and larger. My own height as a humanoid had almost doubled. And my dragon horns have become sharper and pointier, spiraling upwards.

My hair became completely silver, waving down with the ends having red color. And I noticed the tip of all my fingers turned red as well. Was I slowly transforming into a Demon myself? I was unnerving. I really didn't want this, but it was necessary to beat Asmodeus and protect this world and my family.

"I'll even become a damn demon if I need to…" I sighed, noticing my nails became completely black and demon-like. My tail also gained a pointy, demon tail-like tip to it. "Hah, this is really weird, huh? Am I the first ever Demonic Dragon?"

["That might be your next evolution for all we know."] The System giggled by my side, sitting to my left over the grasslands.

"I wouldn't blame you for thinking that way… I've already reached the limit of this Physique." I said. "So I need to upgrade my Demon King's Seed to progress further?"

["Yes, that does seem to be the case."] She nodded. ["But are you sure you want to continue? With the resistances you've gained so far… It might be enough."]

"It's never enough. I've experienced first-hand how monstrously strong he is." I sighed. "Don't you remember when we first meet him? How powerless and hopeless I was? I wasn't even considered a threat to him. He waved me away like a fly… Back then I really thought I had grown strong, that there were very few beings that could oppose me. But I was completely taken aback."

["Drake… You ARE strong, very. And you can't really blame yourself if you thought that back then! As we explore, we keep finding that this world is much more ancient, vaster, and dangerous than we ever envisioned."]

"I guess… But even then, I need more strength. To protect everyone." I smiled. "Don't worry. I trust on the Skills I've acquired. I won't let Gluttony take over me."

["You've been relentlessly training your soul so it can take on the sealed power of the Lung, huh? Well, it has indeed grown at least twice as large through these weeks. But it might not be enough."]

"Yeah, that's why. Let's spend some more Divine Power before I start." I said. "Upgrade the Psyche Ability to SSS Rank, please."

["Very well. It won't be cheap though."]

[You have exchanged 300.000.000 Divine Power!]

[You have exchanged 100.000.000 Demonic Energy!]

[The [Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SS)] Divine Ability has been Ranked Up to SSS Rank!]

[The Divine Ability has reached its maximum Rank. All of its Abilities and effects have been upgraded.]

[Due to having absorbed Demonic Energy, the Divine Ability has acquired a new Demon-related Effect.]

-----

[Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SSS)]

A Divine Ability born from the combination of the Dragon Heart and the Unshakable Mind Divine Abilities.

A Dragon King must always have an unshakable mind and a heroic heart! To fall before mere mind tricks is not something the ruler of the dragons should ever do.

This Divine Ability acts passively, boosting the user's Mental Fortitude and Mind Resistance against all sorts of Mind Attacking Effects such as Confusion, Fear, Mental Erosion, Brainwashing, Mind Control, among many others by +400% -> +800%

Your Mind is so strong that whenever a strong force attempts to infiltrate it, you can fight back by eroding their own minds in the process, dealing up to +250% -> +500% Psychic Damage to anything that dares make your mind and heart waver.

As the mighty Dragon King, your Mind is not the only thing boosted, your very Soul grows stronger, enhancing its Soul Fortitude, Soul Stamina, and Soul Strength by +150% -> 300%

The Dragon King fears nobody, not even Demons or Demon Kings. Your mind is unshakable, not even to the strongest mind erosion abilities of Demon Kings. Increases Resistance against Mind Erosion from Demons or Demon Kings by +500% (New Ability!)

-----

The moment the Divine Ability was upgraded, I felt my soul growing even larger and stronger. As if it had become twice as big out of nowhere. And I could tell why, the effects were incredible. All of them doubled after Rank Up.

"Wait, what?! System, this is fantastic! And especially that new ability. I had no idea Divine Abilities can me modified like this!" I was honestly amazed.

["I just discovered it, but it only works when upgrading them manually."] She explained.

"It's a pity most of my Divine Abilities are already at Max Rank…" I shrugged. "Well, now that this is done… I should quickly get to that. Upgrade the Demon King Seed using the Demonic Energy, System."

["…Very well. I wish you good luck, Drake. Fight back and don't let that thing eat your mind!"]

[You have exchanged 250.000.000 Demonic Energy!]

[The Demonic Energy is flowing inside of your [Demon King Seed: Gluttony]!]

[The Demon King Seed is overflowing with Demonic Energy! Its roots are expanding across your entire Soul and Body.]

[You're beginning to Rank Up!]

"Gahahahaha! Fool! You're only feeding me with more power!" Gluttony laughed, surging from my body like a wave of pure darkness and dark red flames. "I'll eat your damn mind and take over your body!"

"Do your worst, bastard!" I roared back.

FLAAASH!
