Chương 31: Difference

The difference was enormous; his physique had grown from 58 to 580, a tenfold increase, allowing him to tear apart monsters with his raw power.

Not only that, but his other stats also increased tremendously.

Spirit changed from 19 ---> 85, a five-time increase. And for the Prana (life energy), it is the one that changed entirely.

Now, he seemed to have become semi-divine energy instead of simple life energy.

And it appears the number of semi-divine energy points is small—only 25 points, which is ten times less than the life energy before.

But the semi-divine energy is not simple, as it seemed to be many times stronger than life energy, as a single point of semi-divine energy is equal to 100 points of life energy, a horrifying difference of hundreds of times.

He had a feeling that when he would use his semi-divine energy. It would show the most devastating power he had ever seen.

Apollo wanted to use semi-divine energy and could not help it. So he quickly moved ahead and found the biggest boulder he could find.

The boulder stands seventy feet tall, weighs over 30,000 tons, and covers 5,800 square feet on the ground. It was so gigantic that even with all his strength, Apollo could not do much damage to it before.

"Let's try it."

Boom! Boom!

He punched with his new gigantic body and all his strength, shaking this massive boulder with his raw strength.

Massive cracks appeared on this gigantic structure, but his hands were all great without a single scratch. He was shocked at how strong and sturdy his body had become. His defence seems to be even many times better than that of the beasts. So much better that he could not be considered human at all.

But then again, the system was displaying that his current state is that of a half-demon god, so he might really not be considered human right now.

Then comes the main event, Semi-Divine Energy and his new energy property, 'Eternal Ice'.

Apollo calmed down and closed his eyes to feel the semi-divine energy within his prana circuits. But when he did it, he was shocked by what he felt within his body.

His Prana circuit within his body was now entirely different, as there seemed to be not ten but only a single Prana circuit. If he described his prana circuits as a lake, then this single prana circuit was like a sea filled with majestic energy.

This feeling was like all the nine Prana circuits combined with the mysterious tenth Prana circuit to create a unique Prana circuit, which can be called the 'Deva circuit' as it holds Semi-Divine energy.

Apollo let go of all his weird thoughts, concentrated his mind on the single sea of vast energy, and let it flow through his body.

His hand moved, and he put a finger on the boulder and whispered, 'Eternal ice'.

And immediately, a large amount of semi-divine energy disappeared from his body. Instantly unimaginable chilling cold aura that seems to freeze the space released from the tip of his finger.

Szzzzzz! Szzzzzz!

The ice energy, in a matter of seconds, seems to have covered the gigantic boulder, turning it into a massive snowball, or more accurately a seven-story-long snowball.

But that's not the end of it, as slowly, one after another, fine cracks started to appear on the massive snowball.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Crunch!

Shattered!

"This!"

The seven-story large boulder, in a second, just after being frozen, shattered into thousands of pieces like glass.

The whole scene shocked Apollo as a single touch from him destroyed this massive boulder, which he wouldn't have been able to shatter, even if he tried with all his strength just a day before.

But, now a single touch of his finger had done the trick. And it still happened when we tried to control and minimize the damage. He cannot fathom what level of devastating destruction he will unleash if he puts his all into it.

All that's good, but he also felt the problem. The small amount of semi-divine energy he had. This attack almost emptied one-third of the semi-divine energy in a moment.

After this test, the only ability he didn't tried was the weird 'Death Devourer' ability that he might get from the god that was swallowed in his mind. The dark and eerie aura he emitted was quite similar to it.

It cannot be a coincidence that after swallowing a god, he suddenly developed abilities similar to theirs.

But he felt disgusted with this ability, as he could already guess what it did. All the plants and grass around him that withered already gave him a hint of its power.

The dark energy gave him a depressed, eerie feeling, exactly the opposite of the life energy, and from deep within his heart, he also felt that using it too much would have unseen consequences.

And to try this, he needs a living thing; maybe a beast or animal will do, but right now, he is not going to try this, as he was going to try the most important trick.

Which was how to change back into his normal human form. This was the most important; otherwise, he would be considered a monster, and he would not be able to move or travel in this state.

He quickly calmed down, let go of his mind, and tried to sever the connection within the prana circuit to scatter them again, So that he could change back to human form.

"Come on, come on."

Slowly, the single, sea-like prana circuit within his body started to change, and the enormous pressure in his body started to decrease. And in reverse order, all the tissues—bones and muscles—started to decrease rapidly.

His height started to shrink, and his aura started to decrease quickly. And in a few moments, he turned back into a small, naked human kid.
