FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, as I imbued the powers of the Dream Divinities I possessed into the "connection" negatively affecting Muspel, I was able to finally see a few glimpses of what was it.
It was only a faint vision, a small image that showed up within my mind, but I saw a tall, red-skinned man with a long, silver beard, and sharp red eyes. His powers flowing across a huge mountain range made of bones.
Is this the Flame Emperor?! So he has already arrived this close. And not only that, but he was doing something really suspicious to Muspel's skeleton, the bones she left behind which have helped this area of the continent flourish from its nutrients and leftover divine energy.
"Hahaha… HAHAHAHA!"
The Flame Emperor only laughed as his body started overflowing with divine power, in both of his hands, I noticed red jewels fused into his palms, giving him even more power.
This bastard has the two Red Orb Fragments already… And he has even done something weird to Muspel's bones, to both weaken her and absorb her powers.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, I noticed his eyes glancing directly at me.
"Who is it?"
They glowed brightly with red light, and then, my entire mind was engulfed on black flames, which tried to corrupt my thoughts and consume my soul!
FLUOOOSH!
"PERISH! SPY!"
"Ungh?! Beginning Flames!"
Using the Beginning Flames, I was barely able to fight against the black flames before I cut the connection again, saving my soul from taking damage.
"Hahh…." Once I opened my eyes again, I gave a loud sigh. "This is bad. That bastard's already very close. At most, we've got another week within the Divine Realm before he arrives, Surtr."
"You mean the Flame Emperor?" Asked Surtr. "B-But then… Not even a month has passed!"
"So it's that bastard the one that has somehow cursed my soul?" Wondered Muspel. "Urgh… This is not really good. Now that I lack a physical body, I am completely powerless against external attacks like these. Maybe I shouldn't had left behind my body when I died… I did it so they would nourish our devastated lands, but at the end… It might bring the demise of even my own soul."
"No… mother, I won't let that happen to you!" Surtr cried, gritting his sharp teeth. "Not… anymore. I won't let any more people die in front of me. Mother… Don't say those things! I'll beat that bastard- No, we'll beat him!"
"Surtr…" Muspel remained in silence, glancing at her small son. Her red eyes quickly became filled with emotions, as her long red scaled tail coiled around Surtr's body. "Fine… I'll trust you. I won't lose hope. Because despite everything, I know you're there, and even the Dragon King."
"Of course." I nodded. "I was a bit startled but… I am not giving up either. Surtr can't possibly defeat him as he is, even if we train harder than ever, but as long as he can attain even a slightly higher level of comprehension with his Origin Flames within this week… Then with our cooperation, there's a good chance."
"I'll be entrusting my son to you once more, Dragon King Drake. You have my eternal gratitude. If this could help in anything, please take this power, a small piece of my own soul. I know my other sisters had done something similar." Muspel sighed, slightly tired, as a small soul fragment flew into my own soul.
FLAAAASH!
I felt the raging blazing power of the fire dragons surging through my soul and then my body. My Fire Dragon Bloodline awakening to an even higher level of power.
[You have received the Soul Fragment of the Primordial Mother of all Fire Dragons, Muspel!]
[All Fire-related Powers have developed greatly. Your [Fire Dragon (S) (Awakened)] Bloodline has Ranked Up to SS Rank!]
[Your [Fire (SSS)] Magical Elemental Affinity has Evolved into [Inferno (S)], an even stronger Elemental Attribute!]
[The System has activated [Divinity Absorption] into the fragment to maximize profits and energy extraction!]
[You gained +250.000.000 Divine Points.]
[You acquired the [Primordial Divine Fire Dragon Soul Fragment (SSS Grade)] x1!]
[You acquired [Primordial Divine Flames Divinity Fragments] x5!]
Oh well, this was much better than I expected. I gained a boost to everything and by using Divinity Absorption into this, I even got some Divinity Fragments and a materialized part of this soul fragment.
With Surtr's Heavenly Smith and my own creation abilities, plus the materials I've gathered in the inheritance, we could build a pretty strong weapon…
"Thank you for your help, despite how much it could exhaust you to do this." I said. "I promise your son will be in good hands."
"You better do…! Ugh… Now… I shall go to sleep again… My son, Surtr… The other Fire Dragon Souls… Make sure… to bring their strength…" Muspel muttered, before falling asleep completely.
"I will, mother." Surtr nodded. "I think I should be able to at least summon a new Dragon Soul as well… But for now, let's return. We need to continue training." Surtr seemed much more decided and confident than before.
"Alright, I won't go easy on you." I laughed.
As we moved on to train, I dedicated myself to do another things using some of my Doppelgangers. One of them was giving the Fire Titan Blood to Nadia, Mina, Benladann, and my two daughters.
Why? Well, because all of them were compatible with Titan Blood, Nadia and Mina were already good with it now that they became divine fire giant goddesses, while Benladann seemed to have the ability to absorb any titan bloodline, though there aren't as many as with dragons.
It was a big bottle, so I divided the blood between all of them. Naturally, our daughters also were able to inherit this power, even Kate who isn't her direct daughter. I drank some myself too and saved the rest to use as a material.
FLUOOOSH!
The results were almost instant, as fiery auras surged from within all of their bodies, especially on Nadia and Mina, who were extremely compatible with the blood!
