Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 984  Cosmic Playground

To Michael, the 'loss' of 2,000 Soultrait Symbols and a few million SoulStar Fragments didn't make a great impact. It was still considered a lot, but a few million SoulStar Fragments weren't enough for Michael to do anything special. However, the Soultrait Symbols and SoulStar Fragments impacted the hundreds of Divine Lifeforms heavily and granted various benefits.

Adding several hundred Divine Lifeforms to the attack on the Novix Galaxy changed a lot, but the tides of the Titan War changed only properly once the hundreds of Divine Lifeforms had accepted their most compatible Soultraits. It took an entire day to switch the Soultraits and optimize everyone's combat prowess, but the results were great. Michael threw the hundreds of Divine Lifeforms at the civilizations of the Supreme Human Alliance and watched them conquer several planetary systems in a few days. The shift was drastic and unexpected. The Novix Galaxy was overwhelmed and conquered, and the Supreme Human Alliance was formed to deploy more powerhouses at the borders of the Genox Galaxy. Ordinary Divine Lifeforms weren't enough to block the hundreds of DIvine Subordinates on Michael's side. They had to deploy the cream of the crop, removing them from other frontlines to protect the Genox Galaxy. But even that wasn't enough in some cases. There were only so many Tier-8 Hyumans who could be spared. Michael killed a few Tier-8 Hyumans with the help of some Divine Subordinates, but it wasn't long before he left the Novix Galaxy. The last thing Michael did was use Slipstream and teleport the Divine Subordinates inside the Genox Galaxy, moving them here and there to inflict more severe damage.

At last, Michael acquired a few million SoulStar Fragments and disappeared from the battlefield to meet up with the Super Awakened.

Hiraku and the others were already waiting for him. They were impatient but focused on their newly acquired Soultrait Symbols to increase their mastery as promised.

"Is everyone ready to beat up some Hyumans?" Michael asked with a vibrant smile.

It might have been more impactful if Michael stayed around the Divine Subordinates because their combat prowess was higher, but the Super Awakened were better targets with higher potential. Most of the Divine Subordinates had already used up their remaining potential. Michael wasn't quite sure if they'd used their potential or if the Void Ingots had drained whatever was left of it. One way or another, they couldn't advance to the Mid-ranks of Tier-7 anymore. The only thing Michael could have done to help them was to provide more Soultrait Symbols. Acquiring new Soultraits and mastering their existing techniques were the only ways – other than procuring Artifacts – to grow stronger at this point. The Divine Subordinates couldn't grow stronger on their own anymore. Their Energy Pillars had been crippled by their superiors and the Void Ingots.

The Super Awakened, on the other hand, was overflowing with potential. They were still in their prime and would ascend to Divine Lifeforms in the near future. Michael would have loved to keep them away from the battlefield a little longer, but given the distraction caused by the Divine Subordinates, Michael could relax a little. The Supreme Human Alliance would focus on the Divine Subordinates and the borders to the Genox Galaxy.

That left them with more than enough borders to strike instead.

"Of course, we're ready. We have been waiting for you for months now. Some thought you wouldn't return anymore. That you've forgotten about us," Kaleb joked lightly, but the guilt in his voice was palpable. "I wouldn't forget you all so easily. I was just busy. There was some…miscommunication between me and the Altors Union," Michael chuckled, "They don't like me anymore."

Fenrir chortled. [You're putting it very lightly. The Top Head and his people would love to tear you into shreds. They hate you. There is no way you can make peace with them now. Not that you should. You should have ripped off their heads. It's unfortunate how weak you are. I am still wondering how you are supposed to deal with the Primal.]

'You are always talking about the Primal, but what about Gods like Beelzebub and the Supreme Human Alliance? Didn't you say you and the others never managed to harm the Supreme Human Alliance?'

[That is a different topic. The Hyuman Gods were still active before I was bound to the Extraction Symbol. But the rules of the cosmos have changed. Gods don't play in the cosmic playground anymore. At least, that's what it looks like. Jorm and Hel told me about a few things I've missed in my time as a Soultrait Symbol in the void of nothingness, but the sentiment is clear. The Primal are still fucksters, and they're worse than before.

From the looks of it, the Supreme Human Alliance's only protectors are their Demi-Gods. Once you ascend and become a full-fledged god, you won't be allowed to intervene in the course of mortals and immortals. It is very restrictive and something I, among many, loathe. I didn't become a Beast God to be restrained by anyone. Neither did Jorm, Hel, and most other Gods. That is even more so true for Infernal Gods.]

Jorm intervened. [Fenrir, shut up. There is no need to talk this much about such a topic. Michael will learn more than enough about it in the future.

Fenrir growled, but neither of the God Curses cared much about the empty threat. Hel spoke up.

[Since you can tap into our Divinities, you are already considered a Demi-God on the verge of attaining godhood. Once our Divinities blossom, you will have some time until you are considered a full-fledged God. The Divinities will grow until other Gods or the Primal intervene. You might not even notice it at that point, but your prowess and control of our Divinites, which you've annexed by then, will put you on the pedestal with all other Gods.]

Michael couldn't quite believe that he would soon be considered a god. It didn't make sense how easy it was… well. No. It did make sense. Attaining godhood wasn't even his own effort. It didn't require any effort from his side. The God Curses were helping him, At the same time, he had the Nature Heart, a full-fledged Divinity Fragment which absorbed more and more energy as Michael grew stronger. It was only a matter of time before the Nature Heart would transform into a proper Divinity and become one of his many Divinities. He wasn't creating his own Divinity through the efforts of centuries of studies and hard work. Why?

Because it wasn't needed. Why should he do something when he had already acquired the Divinities of three Major Authorities and two fused Medi Authorities?

'How long do you think I have before the first Hyuman Gods consider me a big enough threat to ignore the Primal's warning? Or how long will it take for the Primal to arrive?' Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[The Hyuman Gods have the right to intercept any attacks of a God. They should have sensed us already but can also sense how we – God Curses – are using our Divinities through you. That means you are not a Godly threat just yet. If anything, you are still fairly far from that. As for the Primal…I don't know. Some of them might appear at any point. They might not have noticed you but will certainly come and find you once you become a nuisance.]

Great. That was a good start to the first attack of the Super Awakened.

Not.

Michael didn't like where his God Curses were going. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop them. All he could do was prepare for the worst.

And that was what he did. Alongside the Super Awakened, of course.
