Chapter 833: Rudra's Final Form
Rudra felt like a torrent of life energy was swirling inside him , he felt like he was becoming a cultivator once more and that every single cell in his body was transforming into something that was more powerful than his current being.
He felt his tendons become more elastic yet more strong. He felt his muscles become way stronger than they were as if he was just a baby uptil now and suddenly they became the muscles of a grown man who gymmed for 6 hours a day.
He felt his skin become smooth yet as durable as steel. Like even Sariel would not be able to cut him open with a twig anymore and would need to use a sword.
He felt his mind throb as numbing pain surrounded his entire body and although he himself could not see his current state there was bright white light currently being emitted from his body as if he was preparing to launch the holy lance , however this time around the holy power was not surrounding him , it came from within his own body.
Rudra could hear the familiar beep of system notifications ringing in his ears , however the pain numbed his mind so much that when he opened his eyes to read the messages it appeared blurry to him and he could not focus on the text without feeling like his mind suddenly became 5 killograms heavier.
Sprawling on the floor beside Ozriel, Rudra clutched his head as he let out a cry of pain but endured the pain as he knew it was good for his mind and body.
Rudra found every bone and cell in his body to be healing , as his recently damaged mana pathway seemed to be mended and its walls reinforced better and stronger than before as he felt a stream of pure hot mana flowing within him.
Rudra did not realise it however, Raphael, Micheal and Sariel were all looking over him from the sky at this moment while Beniogre too seemed to have rushed to this spot , because of the sheer amount of power that Rudra was emitting.
By mixing the essence of dragons heart , with the blood of Beniogre's placenta and the fruit of the world tree , alongside 7 supplementing treasures Rudra underwent a transformation that even the angels had never seen in their long lifetime.
It was something primal , something close to how the angel race was born in the first place and it was truly spectacular to watch.
Rudra would have died at this stage of his transformation if not for Beniogre's blood in his body constantly healing him as his cells destroyed themselves from the overflow of holy power.
The amount of divine energy that Rudra was emitting currently was far higher than any of the divine moves that any angel could muster at once , which was the very reason they had all felt alarmed and gathered inside Ozriel's home in the first place, however Rudra did not die , and instead everytime his entire body became reborn stronger and stronger until the flow of divine power started to ebb.
Raphael felt incredibly proud of his disciple to have endured such pain while being conscious as it was a testament to his mental strength that he had helped cultivate. However for Rudra's own safety Raphael still knocked him out when he felt that the transformation was complete.
Rushed to Beniogre's quarters for checks and stability, the goddess of life herself carefully mended his bone structure and his internal organs in a way that he could live a normal life after his transformation.
" He wasn't a human when he met him , how shocking is that ". Sariel said as he observed the operation taking place.
" I'm more interested in what he is now ? What do we call someone like him? Is there another ? ". Raphael asked curiously.
" Halfling for sure , I've seen sariel's bastard kids with a similiar structure however they don't have his bone density or muscle structure. I mean look at those muscles they are almost as good as Ozriel's ". Micheal said with a smile
" Father always used to say , our ancestors were just winged humans , ha i never believed it until now". Raphael said with a smirk
" So it's true , anyone who can wield divine power is considered angel ". Micheal stated
" Not wield , produce themselves". Sariel corrected.
As the Archangel's bickered about the type of creature that Rudra was , Beniogre completed the finishing touches to Rudra's body as she attached his newly formed wings to his spinal cord so that Rudra may have better stability in flight and better control over his new body part.
In the end Beniogre concluded " I think winged humans were born because of inbreeding between humans and a cross of dragons and phoenix's ".
The other Archangel's looked at her and said a collective " Oh ".
Beniogre continued " Although i don't know for sure how he got hold of divine power , was it because of my blood or the world tree that i don't know , but while the other elixirs he consumed were meant for strengthening his body and muscles and the like , the essence of dragon's heart and the preserved eggs from a phoenix's womb were the two key ingredients for him to form a wing after undergoing many mutations that destroyed his body from inside out until a stable combination was reached.
If he did not consume my blood , he would have died for sure , however the cells kept regenerating because of my healing powers.
Although not the best mutation, since his wings were attached to his brain through muscles however had no bone structure to support them meaning at best he would have been like a peacock who can fly small distances at most.
With the surgery i performed it's now connected to his spine , which means in theory he is no different than the angels roaming the heaven.
Maybe the fruit from the world tree gave him his ability to generate holy power. That i don't understand but he is definitely a half human half angel at this point in time".
