Everyone looked carefully at the turtle who seemed to frown as he looked at Shényú.
The huge Bird saw how the turtle was looking at him and hit him with his wing "don't look at me like that little turtle, this is a chance for you to become the Auspicious Emperor" after speaking the bird stepped aside and flew away again.
"Dugu Bo watched as the green dot disappeared in the distance and turned to look at the Golden Tortoise.
The Golden Tortoise looked at the humans before him and did not flinch, but stared at Erym.
As a Beast of Gold and Luck attribute it was sensitive to the pure and beneficial power in Erym's body, it felt that if it ate that human it would directly ascend to 10,000 years of power and in a thousand years it would reach 100,000 years of power.
A 100,000 year old Auspicious beast was capable enough to improve the fate of all the beasts on the continent, it could tip the balance and make hundreds of 100,000 year old beasts appear in a thousand years.
Erym saw the tortoise's intentions and smiled and then entered the pseudo-possession.
When Arceus' divine aura became present, the Golden Turtle couldn't help but lower its head and bend its knees.
Although it is an Auspicious Beast its main attribute is Gold, as most beasts with the name 'golden' derive from the attribute Gold and Light.
If he were the Auspicious Beast emperor he could resist the divine presence, but his lineage was not strong enough to be able to oppose the majesty of a beast god.
"Don't worry turtle, this will only allow you to go further than you have ever gone before" Erym released the Steel Tablet and it moved on its own over the golden turtle.
The process from before repeated itself, the Golden Turtle's power age began to decay rapidly, in seconds its power dropped to 10 years and its power of luck had almost been consumed.
The purple ring with dark hues manifested on the Steel Tablet, after that a golden-white energy beam fell on the Golden Tortoise.
Thus, slowly the years of the Turtle's power began to increase along with the original Auspicious power.
100..
300...
700...
1400...
3800...
6500...
9.999.
His power was set at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine because if he wanted to advance he needed to accumulate the power of luck and improve his auspicious lineage to become the Golden Turtle King.
As that was happening the Tablet returned to Erym and the surplus power began to enter Erym's body.
The expression of pain manifested on Erym's face as the spiritual power refined and spread to every corner of his body.
The Pseudo-Possession grew stronger and Erym's skin began to turn a pure white color like that of armor, although in small parts and in places like his cheeks, the back of his hands, legs and ears.
After 20 minutes the energy was consumed and the level went to level 17 medium, the possession also lifted and Erym's body returned to normal and the Tablet returned to his mental space.
Within seconds Erym opened his eyes and looked at his hands, he could feel that his power had increased more than just one level, he was sure that no one below level 30 and with 2 rings could even force him to use the Pseudo-possession, unless they were cheaters like Tang San with his Tang sect arts and 30 years of experience as an assassin.
"How do you feel?" Yin Xia asked as she stroked Erym and looked at him with worried eyes.
Erym looked at her and even unaccustomed to so much affection and attention, replied with some sorrow and calmness "I feel great, the age of the ring is at 7,500, the power of the Turtle's luck increased the years of the ring without any side effects and weight" Erym's words slightly surprised everyone but after a few moments they understood that it was logical since it is the Ring of an Auspicious Beast.
"Hmph, it's normal for that to happen, if you absorb a ring with ultimate attribute or the power of Law the same thing will happen" at that moment an adolescent voice sounded in everyone's mind, those present looked at each other and then looked at the turtle.
It had grown to 5 meters tall, 11 meters long and 7 meters wide, its golden color took on a faint yellow glow and its eyes had wisdom in them.
"It also speaks" Dugu Xin smiled slightly and took interest in this turtle, the green jade bird also learned to speak after receiving the power of the tablet.
"Nice to meet you turtle, can you tell us your name?" Erym asked curiously and kindly.
The Tortoise looked at Erym and his previous arrogant and judging look relaxed taking a kind and respectful look "Your Holiness, my name is Wūgūi Jíxiáng. I don't remember well when I was born, but I spent several centuries asleep, if it wasn't for that stupid green bird I would still be asleep in my cave until I reached 10,000 years old" at first Wūgūi kept his tone respectful and kind, but when he came to the subject of his awakening he acquired an annoying and rude tone.
It could be said that turtle beasts spent 90% of their lives sleeping, only waking up to eat and have an important advance in their power, living if possible in the same place for thousands of years and only moving when they could no longer live there.
Those present tried to smile but the corners of their lips trembled slightly, they did not expect this nice looking turtle to have such an aggressive temperament.
Dugu Xin and Yin Xia reminded them of how Dugu Bo is when he meets old friends or old enemies, he had the same poisonous temperament.
