Chapter 1075 Supreme Lord
Chapter 1075 Supreme Lord
Michael looked down at his body and scanned with Seer and True Vision how much his body had changed. He couldn't see everything, but the things he saw were better than expected. His cells were filled with Essence, which gushed more out of the War Rune. The Origin Expanse provided him with as much Essence as he needed. As for the amount of Essence he would need to finish growing stronger, Michael had no clue.
All Michael could say for certain was that the Essence within him was already enough to rival the Primal.
Yet, the Origin Expanse continued infusing more Essence into him even after he reached the threshold of the other Primal. He was as strong as the Primal at some point. It didn't make any sense to the remaining beings of the universe, and even Michael was having a hard time figuring out what was happening to him, but the answer came to him out of nowhere.
Michael was growing stronger, bit by bit, slowly but steadily. No. It wasn't even that slow. He was growing at a steady pace, surpassing the power he'd sensed from the Primal…and grew truly powerful.
Michael Fang was suddenly stronger than the Primal, given the Essence surging into him. No. He was more than the Primal.
It was shocking, to say the least, but it was also necessary. Michael understood that he needed as much strength as possible. If he didn't grow strong enough, the Primal would regain full control of the Origin Universe, and everything he had worked for would be crushed. Michael did not want that to happen.
The connection to the Origin Expanse opened several doors for him. First, he gained access to the Expanse's Essence. Second, he was not the ruler of the Origin Expanse, and last but not least, the Origin Expanse connected him to every entity of the Origin Expanse. The connection was a lesser version of the Link of Loyalty, but it increased his Soul Power tens of times nonetheless.
Something interesting happened when the Links of Loyalty arrived. It wasn't a sudden motion but a slow but steady process. Hundreds of millions of Links of Loyalty were established every ten seconds, slowly increasing Michael's strength. Once more than a trillion Links of Loyalty had been established with Michael, the Origin Expanse stirred for the first time since the change of ownership.
Michael was prepared for the worst, even though the Origin Expanse would reject him, but it rejoiced instead. The Origin Expanse wiggled in excitement as if it had been restrained and in pain all this time. It was almost like the Origin Expanse regained freedom for the first time since the beginning.
'Maybe the Will's mistake was worse than expected.' Michael wondered while sensing how the Origin Expanse's feelings swept all across its lands. Michael didn't have to be the owner of the Origin Expanse to perceive how happy it was with Michael Fang. That was also what the Origin Expanse shared.
It shared news of the ownership change and urged everyone to welcome their new Almighty God. Michael didn't like the way the Origin Expanse shared the news, but he accepted it regardless. There was nothing he could do about it.
In the first place, it was a lot more helpful to spread his existence and the change of ownership thorough the Origin Expanse. But that was only owed to one of his Soultraits.
Godly Faith responded to the Origin Expanse's outcall. To be precise, beings listening to the Origin Expanse heard the news and discovered something about the owner of the Origin Expanse for the first time…ever. To most creatures of the cosmos, the Will had been an almighty creature. Therefore, the Origin Expanse's choice of words and pictures was well-suited when it introduced him as an Almighty God. He was the strongest being in the Origin Expanse and could do anything. Nobody was even close to strong enough to stop Michael, no matter what he desired to do in the Origin Expanse.
He was almighty.
Those intelligent enough to listen intently to the Origin Expanse realized that. They believed the Origin Expanse's words and had faith in his power. There was no doubt the new owner of the Origin Expanse was powerful enough to expel them if he desired.
This faith and belief was numerous enough to trigger Godly Faith.
Godly Faith strengthened Michael's Essence and his divinity, but it also increased the limit of his physique, mind, and soul. It allowed him to surpass the limits of all living things. Michael could transcend the universe's limits after he had already reached the top. He could grow stronger than any other being in the universe.
The limiter increase was also why Michael was still growing more powerful by the second. It wasn't an immediate increase, but Godly Faith also strengthened all aspects of him by a bit. However, the most important factor was the limiter, which was being tested over and over again by the Expanse's pristine Essence.
As more pristine Essence flooded into him, Michael was growing stronger. Under normal circumstances, Michael would have long since reached his limit. In fact, he wouldn't have grown as powerful as the Primal because he had just ascended to the 10th Tier. But that was not a problem anymore. His body was forced to adapt rapidly when his cells burst and regenerated.
He was already at the peak and still growing stronger. After all, the pristine Essence kept pushing him in an attempt to push his body until it could no more. Until it reached the limit of his existence's potential.
Sensing the billions upon billions of Links of Loyalty and the faith they provided, Michael swallowed hard. It was terrifying to think how much had changed in the last few days, or was it weeks? But at the same time, it was terrific. The corners of his lips tilted into a self-satisfying smile.
The Will was no longer there, and the Origin Expanse accepted him as its new owner. It was exciting.
And so was Michael.
After all, he was the Supreme Lord!
