Chapter 972: Michael, the Space Pirate
.
Michael changed his strategy and attacked larger units of Hyumans. It was a little annoying to hide his other Soultrait Symbols from them, but the results were great. By spending a full week in the deepest parts of the Supreme Human Alliance's territory in the Novix Galaxy, Michael located and eradicated five spaceships manned with reinforcement. Each spaceship contained more than three thousand Higher Lifeforms and some Divine Lifeforms, but they were defeated rather easily. The Cosmos Beasts stopped the spaceships while Michael summoned an Emperor Qi Sword with a massive length of more than one hundred meters. The spaceships might have had a strong dome of protection, but enhancing Emperor Qi with several layers of Greater Enhancement and simple use of Unlimited Enhancement was enough to destroy them.
Michael was not feeling too great about using Greater Enhancement on top of Emperor Qi and Cosmic Stride as it might expose him, but the whitish hue of Greater Enhancement shrouding his vibrant silver Emperor Qi was barely visible. Nobody had the time and nerve to focus on Greater Enhancement's hue. They were too focused on the massive sword cutting through the spaceship repeatedly.
The spaceships fell apart, their protection domes too weak to block the Enhanced Emperor Qi Sword.
Once destroyed, the spaceship's protection was no more. The Divine Lifeforms could easily survive in space, but the same couldn't be said about Higher Lifeforms. Most didn't have enough high-quality energy, or control of their energy, to travel through space using bursts of energy. Their utility wasn't precise enough to walk or fly through space, and they would spin around wildly. But that was not everything. It was only a minor problem compared to the lack of oxygen and the cold of the wide-open space.
Higher Lifeforms weren't built to survive in space. They had to envelop their bodies in energy, which was rapidly drained, to stay alive and warm.
Michael had a much easier time surviving in the open space when he was a Higher Lifeform since he could use Extraction to supplement his body with energy and the Spheres of Elements to create oxygen, heat, and everything else he needed. Cosmic Stride made it much easier to move as well.
The Authority of Power was unleashed alongside Jormungandr's other powers, expanding Michael's size by more than ten times. His power didn't skyrocket by ten times, but it increased drastically. He appeared before the Hyuman Overlord, the man ruling the Hyumans in the Novix Galaxy...and crushed him with the Authority of Power, freezing him in his tracks and squashing him like an ant.
The Hyuman Overlord would have been difficult to defeat under normal circumstances, but he was a weakling before the might of Jormungandr's Divinity.
[I don't have to brag to kill a weakling like this. Your powers are too obvious. Mine are silent and deadly.] Hel announced when she sensed her brother's attitude. Jormungandr had just killed the Hyuman Overlord through Michael's body, nearly melting him alive, as Hel scoffed.
[Don't take this away from me!] Jormungandr roared.
Michael chuckled as the siblings' fight continued, and he smiled through whatever they said. Their comments didn't bother him, and he became more interested in the power he gained through Jormungandr's power display. Primordial Vessel's Symbol changed after the first use of Jormungandr's Divinity. The same phenomenon happened again. Tendrils, or roots –in darkish green instead of golden – emerged from the Soultrait Symbol and wiggled around wildly. The seed of Jormungandr's Divinity hadn't fully formed yet, but it would only require a few more uses. The same was the case with Extraction. Fenrir hadn't used his Divinity anymore after the last time. He wasn't against using it but made clear that his Divinity didn't regenerate quickly as a Curse. He had accumulated most of his Divinity's power over the course of tens of thousands of years.
Michael didn't want to use it all against Divine Lifeforms. He could tell Gods – especially the Primal – were bound to come his way at some point. They would come knocking at his doors, and Michael had to prepared by then. Thus, he had to form the Divinities without wasting too much of the God Curses Divinity too quickly. They had to retain enough of their Divinity to replenish their used-up power and fight the Primal with him. Otherwise, he would die long before he acquired the power needed to fight the Primal head-on.
After all, they were bound to come looking for him before he would attain godhood.
