Chapter 2078 {Essence}

.

I had accumulated such a large quantity of Spiritual Energy since I entered the Spiritual Plane that it seemed like I could directly create a Supreme God-Level Divine Spirit out of that.

But I was going to use it for another thing… This Spiritual Essence all across the Spirit Plane, I need to assimilate it like everyone else has done.

The reason why I was taking so long was because I wanted to gain much more out of that, and not just get a single Spirit Heart.

FLAAASH!

The Spirit Energy concentrated to its limits and then, I added the power I gained from Oceanus, the Primordial Ocean Essence into it.

Now!

TRUUUMMM…!

Both the Spiritual Energy and the Primordial Ocean Essence forcefully merged by my command, as they crystalized into a single, blue-colored and heart-shaped jewel.

This was one of my first [Divine Spirit Hearts], of the many I will create! I wasn't going to just have one, I was already planning to get several of them.

Because from what I learned through the memories of the Spiritians I've absorbed their souls, their Primordial Queen, the one that governs this plane strength comes from her unique Primordial Divine Spirit Heart.

Which she created by combining all the Elemental Spirit Hearts she created one after another, and attained enough power to govern the entire Plane.

I'll happily copy her strategy, but even better.

Ding!

[You have created the [Divine Spirit Heart: Primordial Ocean (Tier 1)]!]

[A tremendous quantity of rich Spiritual Energy is now beginning to glow across your entire Body and Soul!]

[You Unlocked the [Spirit] Stat!]

Suddenly, a new Stat appeared within the Status, it sounded quite simply, but it encompassed a lot of things. Spirit Power, Spirit Energy, and Spirit Soul, which were all useful to grow stronger in this Plane, and the primary stats these people used, if you used the System Logic with them.

"A Spirit Stat is nice and all, but how about this?"

I forcefully grabbed the Spirit Stat and put it over the MP Stat, distorting the System's Status window. Sparks of electricity surged from within it, but it wasn't as if that didn't work.

"Astraea, Andromeda, are you there? Please, fuse these two stats together." I asked the System.

"You want to fuse these two Stats?" Asked Andromeda. "But that's… Is it possible? I am not really sure what the Origin System is truly capable of yet!"

"Don't worry, I know it'll work." I smiled.

"Very well." Astraea nodded, quickly manipulating the Origin System.

Ding!

[Stat Fusion has begun!]

[The [Spirit] Stat and the [Mana] Stat have merged together!]

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, I felt as if two primordial energies within my body interconnected and became one. It grew even stronger and mightier than before.

The sparkling lights that made these two primordial energies became one, as Mana seemed to evolve even further.

The Mana of the Soul Book, which later became the Origin System, was much different than the old Mana that the Status held before it evolved into a God Status, which was replaced by Divine Energy.

This was a Mana that both encompassed Divine Energy, normal Mana, and also other Energies, such as Demonic Energy, Necrotic Energy, and more.

And now, Spirit was being added into the mix, all these energies which were already mixing together through this Stat evolved together.

And it showed, as it sensed how the streams of Mana gained a spark of colors resembling the rainbow…

FLUOOSH!

[Both Stats have converged successfully.]

[The [Essence] Stat has been created.]

-----

[Stat: Essence]

A Unique Stat created when several other Energy-based Stats converge together into a single "Essence", it is a nameless power with a simple name, but it carries tremendous strength and is the foundation for most Energies that course across the cosmos, even Cosmic Energy.

The more Energies or other similar Stats you acquire, the higher this Stat will increase as it will absorb them one after another.

1 Essence Stat = 10 of every other Energy-based Stat.

For every 100.000 Essence, all Energies Recovery Speed increases by +100%, and any Skill, Technique, Ability, or Spell that uses Essence receives a +25% boost to their power.

For every 500.000 Essence, you gain +10% more Cosmic Energy and Cosmic Power.

For every 1.000.000 Essence, you take -10% Less Damage from all Other Energies and can restore 10% of the Damage you take from other Energies as Essence, as long as such Energies have been already merged into Essence.

-----

[You gained +1.000.000 Essence.]

[Your Essence has surpassed 4 Million, Cosmic Energy and Cosmic Power has been increased by +80%.]

[Your Essence has surpassed 4 Million, you take -40% Less Damage from all Other Energies and can restore 40% of Damage you take from other Energies as Essence, as long as such Energies have been already merged into Essence.]

This is insane! What does even happen when I reach enough Essence, do I simply cancel all damage and absorb it into my body as Essence?!

It feels like an Ultimate Stat!

…Well, other foes certainly will have powers that will boost their attack power by the hundreds if not thousands, so I suppose that balances it out, so I don't always take zero damage.

But even then, it's amazing!

FLAAASH!

My Essence continued surging from my body, fusing with the Cosmic Energy, which I was still trying to assimilate. It wasn't going to happen any time soon, but we were getting there…

"I still need to completely assimilate Demonic Energy too." I said. "Necrotic Energy is already fine but Demonic Energy… I'm still lacking in that."

"T-This is amazing, to think something like Essence exists!" Andromeda was shocked, her voice was very surprised.

"Amazing, Master, I could had never thought of anything less coming from your almighty existence." Astraea overpraised me as usual.

"Y-You don't need to go that far…" I laughed a bit, as I quickly emerged out of the oceans, feeling like they had become an extension of myself.

Now, I should quickly take the pile of loot left behind by Oceanus. It had coins, Elixirs, jewels, and even a treasure chest.

"Thank you for the loot~"

Ding!

[You have received: [Divine Gold Coins: 20.000] [Oceanus Primordial Sea Divine Soul Crystalized Shards (SS+ Grade)] x4 [Ancient Divine Titan of the Seas Blood Elixir (SS+ Grade)] x3 [Ancient Divine Titan of the Seas: Oceanus Themed Treasure Chest (SS+ Grade)] x1!]

"Now, now, where's everyone? Ah! There you are."

I flew towards Gaby's ship, where everyone had just gathered there, they looked excited, but were fine, nonetheless.

It was a relief…
