I Reincarnated As A Stick

451  Fruits of Labor

After talking with the woman in dark clothing for a bit more, with Kurohana asking the woman about certain things such as the number of enemies they would have to face, as well as the general terrain, their conversation eventually ended as the screen in front of her disappeared.

Seeing that she was done talking, Argentum decided to be the first to talk. "Who was that, Kurohana?"

"Nix, the commander of our side," she replied. "I'm sure all of you heard what she said, right?"

Dalton nodded in response. "She's asking you if you could clean up the Depraved Deity armies located in Sector 5-C."

"Correct." Kurohana nodded. After that, she pointed at the four of them. "Although I'll be accompanying you four to the place, the ones who'll be doing task she gave me…"

"…will be you guys."

"Us?" Hearing that, Horell could not help but swallow a bit of his saliva in nervousness. "You're telling us to fight against Depraved Deity armies, armies that are not only at the same level as us, but also have more people than us? Doesn't that sound a bit too far-fetched?"

"Plus, can we even deal enough damage to actually complete that task?" he murmured not long after, prompting a light smile to appear on Kurohana's face in response. "You should have more faith in yourselves."

As she said that, she stealthily sensed everyone's aura, feeling that the weakest among the four had an aura around 80% of hers. On the other hand, the strongest aura among them seemed to be twice as powerful than her aura at full power, prompting her to inwardly nod in satisfaction.

After informing the four a couple more things regarding the Celestial Plane and the place they were heading to, the six of them prepared for departure, with Aurus returning to his blade form. Seeing his original body do something like that, Argentum could not help but say, "Even though I've seen you do it a couple times already, I still haven't gotten used to it."

"You definitely should," Aurus replied, his voice resounding from Kurohana's waist. "With how much fighting we'll have to do, you'll see me in this form more often."

In the meantime, a thought surfaced in Kurohana's mind as she looked at Dalton, catching his attention with a simple snap of her fingers. "What is it?"

"I almost forgot. Take this," Kurohana said in response, manifesting a white crystal out of thin air before throwing it to Dalton. Watching Dalton stare at the white crystal she threw, she then told him, "Absorb it. It'll help you out."

Hearing that, Dalton tilted his head in slight confusion, as well as suspicion that Kurohana might be lying. However, recalling the great amount of items he had interacted with, most of which were things he hadn't even come across in Erudinia, he decided to ignore the feeling as he absorbed the crystal through his body.

Whoosh!

Bang!

At the very moment his body had absorbed the crystal, the energy within Dalton's body underwent massive upheaval as each strand was refined to its utter limit, gradually making the aura around him feel weaker for a bit. Though, not long after, a small explosion had occurred within his body, prompting this refined energy to coarse throughout his body in waves as his aura had reached a new peak. By the end of it, his aura seemed to be around the same level as Argentum's, prompting the other three to realize what had just happened.

In fact, it did not take long for Dalton to realize the same thing as well. "Greater God level…"

With the same thing in mind, the four of them looked at Kurohana, who only shrugged her shoulders in response. "What? I just gave him a God Spark, that's all."

"But… how the hell did he break through the Greater God level so quickly? Surely we were far away from reaching that point, right?" Horell could not help but ask in response, with Herellia nodding in agreement.

"Well, unlike you two, there was actually a hint of divinity hidden deep within his body before he even became a Lesser God," Kurohana explained. "I just awakened that divinity with a God Spark. After all, the best way to wake up divinity… is with more divinity."

"Anyways, we've already wasted quite a bit of time," she said, prompting the four to recall what they were originally going to do. Being reminded, the four quickly got prepared as the six of them quickly left the white space.

Now in the middle of the void of space, Argentum and the others could not help but look around, taking in the sights with great awe. Unfortunately, they could not enjoy that feeling for long, with Kurohana tasking Argentum to be the one to carry them to the place. Hearing that, Argentum nodded in response, utilizing his energy to create a platform where all of them could step on before propelling it through the power of his Greater Law, specifically the portion that interacted with Space.

Swoosh!

With great speed, they zoomed through the vast nothingness of the Celestial Plane. At some point, Kurohana could not help but comment, "Even though you haven't fully grasped the power of Space yet, we're already moving far greater than my maximum speed."

"How fast is your maximum speed?" Herellia asked, curious.

"55 light years a second, 80 if I really pushed myself," Kurohana replied, making the three's mouths go agape as they found the value unfathomable. However, recalling that all of them were now gods in their own right, they quickly closed them up as Herellia continued, "And how fast are we going currently, then?"

"About 150 light years a second," Kurohana said, only to add something a couple seconds later. "If Argentum gains a better grasp over the power of Space, it's not impossible for us to be moving at 500 light years a second. If he taps into the power of Time as well, we might be able to reach 5000 light years a second."

"Speaking of which, all of you should get used to your newfound powers before we arrive," she told them before gazing at Argentum. "The same goes for you, Argentum. In fact, among the four of you, you're the one who needs to get used to your powers the most."

"Already doing that," said Argentum in response. "Slowly getting used to manipulating more and more of my Greater Law. I think we're moving around 200 light years a second now since I've finally grasped how to control the power of Wind."

Hearing that, a light smile could not help but appear on Kurohana's face again. 'It seems I've made the right choice.'

'There really may be a chance for us to turn the tides.'

…

As they traveled through the Celestial Plane, Argentum's mastery with his Greater Law grew with time, their speeds eventually reaching over a thousand light years a second by the time they were around halfway to where they needed to do. Of course, the others were also familiarizing themselves with their newfound strengths, with all of their auras even strengthening quite a bit due to them becoming more familiar with what they could and could not do.

Eventually, the six of them had arrived at the part of the Celestial Plane the commander sectioned as Sector 5-C. Dispelling the platform everyone stood on, Argentum soared ever higher in space to get a better view of what they were going to be up against from far away. "How many Depraved Deity armies are there…?"

From what his eyes could see, a great number of demons blotted out the portion of space in front of him, all of them emanating energy that they were familiar with, the energy of divinity.

However, there was something else to their energy. A stench that seemed to act like the antithesis of the energy within their bodies.

Their Sins.

"According to Nix, we'll have to wipe out at least a hundred of the Depraved Deity armies before us," Kurohana said to the four of them. "Just so you know, all of them have the Sin of Hunger, so make sure to not let them devour their fallen comrades… lest you want to fight against True Demon Gods."

"Duly noted." Nodding in response to her words, Argentum went ahead and moved closer to where Horell and the others were. "So, who wants to test out their skills first?"

"My skills are made to buff and heal you guys, so I'll have to use my skills either way," Horell said in response. "Instead, the question you should ask is who among the three of you shall attack first?"

"You know… I've been curious to find out the power of Origin Kurohana and Verdante have been talking about," Dalton said all of a sudden, prompting a light smile to appear on Herellia's face. "Why don't you go first, Argentum?"

"I'm glad you asked." In response to those words, a grin appeared on Argentum's face as the intent to find out how strong he had become emanated from him. Moving a few meters away from the three, he then closed his eyes before extending out his palms, coursing energy through them. "Horell, use all of your offensive buffs on me."

"Was going to do that either way." Horell nodded, extending out one of his arms as he pointed it towards Argentum. Soon, multiple strands of multicolored energy shot out of his extended arm as all of them made its way to the latter.

"[Codex of Offense: Ninth Divine Verse]."

"[Sage's Unending Wisdom]."

"[Sage's Unending Mana]."

"…"

"[Endless Mana Reformation Art: Enhancement Style]…"

"[Origin Rune of Offense]."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within mere moments, the aura surrounding Argentum spiked to an immense degree as the three felt overwhelming power coursing throughout his body. Deciding to distance themselves from him, they eagerly watched Argentum make his move, as well as the aftermath that was about to come.

On the other hand, Argentum felt great amounts of strength course throughout his body, redirecting all of it towards the ends of his palms as he tapped into his energy, as well as the Greater Law he had forged.

"I control the Origin, the essence of the universe."

Fwoosh!

At the end of his first statement, a small magic circle appeared in front of his palms. However, even that was enough to attract the attention of a few of the demon armies, prompting them to charge at him.

"With my body as the vessel, and my will as the conductor, I command the universe to listen to my words."

Not long after, this magic circle greatly expanded its size, with multiple intricate runes appearing within it. At this point, a great portion of the demon armies were already halfway to where he was.

"For my first command…"

"Birth the universe anew."

"[Divine True Origin Art]…"

"…"

"…"

"[Advent]."

…

…

Bang!

Time for the battles to start.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
