FLAAASH!
Asmodeus touched Surtr's forehead and quickly disappeared, turning into particles of red light and fusing into Surtr's body!
"W-What the…?!"
Surtr felt confused his big brother suddenly entered his own body, but quickly flew into his Divine Core and stayed in there.
His Divine Core grew three times as big and started overflowing with an even more refined form of Divine Power, while his entire body seemed to be undergoing an improvement.
His Physique evolved, even on his Humanoid Dragonoid form, he gained even larger muscles, and his height was now only slightly below his wives!
The scales cover his body became pristine, and his tail, wings, claws, and even his Origin Flames become much stronger.
"W-What's happening?!" He asked in shock. "Ugh, did you just get inside of my body?!"
"Don't worry about the details." Suddenly, Asmodeus appeared at his side on a much smaller and phantasmal form.
His link to the Draconic Records, which he had never done before, quickly emerged, as he could now get there too!
"So you've finally joined us, my son." Muspel smiled.
"Yeah, mother." Said Asmodeus. "It was about time. Good thing that before getting there, I left all my Soul's power inside of him. Now he'll have to slowly get used to it and unlock its abilities."
"Wait, what?! You left me… All of your Soul's power?"
Surtr was shaken, but Asmodeus simply nodded.
"Check by yourself, brat. This is MY inheritance, not the one of the idiot over here." Asmodeus smiled.
And he was right, as Surtr quickly noticed several notifications within his "False System" which was born out of the combination of his [Heavenly Smith] Skill and the Draconic Records.
While the System was the administrator of Drake's own System, Surtr's "System" Administrator was Muspel herself, as she was the one that helped him build this power based on his own idea of how to grow stronger.
This was one of the Gifts she left for him when he was just born, seeing the opportunity to create this unique power through his amazing Unique Skill [Heavenly Smith].
Ding!
[The Almighty Divine Soul of the [Third Son of Muspel, Asmodeus] has left behind all of its powers within your Divine Core!]
[Because of the tremendous amount of Divine Power, Divine Techniques, Divinities, and Ascendancy Law Fragments left behind, their power has been temporarily Sealed.]
[The [Asmodeus Divine Legacy: Lv1] Skill has been generated.]
[To unlock its power, Level Up More, Cultivate your Divine Power inside of your Divine Core, and spend Divine Power to acquire Divinities and Divine Abilities.]
[Ascendancy Law Fragments will only become available once you reach Rank 10 and have the power to control them.]
[You acquired the [Asmodeus Divine Legacy Successor: Lv1] Title!]
"Amazing…"
This "System" of his wasn't as amazing as Drake, as it didn't allow Surtr to acquire Divinities, Divine Abilities, or easily ascend his Rank by merely spending Divine Power.
But it allowed Surtr to "level up" by absorbing the leftover Divine Power of whatever he slain, before Divine Power, it was Mana and a part of a foe's Soul.
It was similar to Drake when he ate Mana Cores and now Divine Cores, but a bit slower, while Drake gets benefits by merely chomping at things, Surtr had no such power.
Once he Leveled Up, his Cultivation would increase, and over time, he would still advance at an incredibly ridiculous pace, only being slower to Drake in that regard!
"Thank you so much, brother… I had no idea you had such a gift for me." Surtr felt humbled by his brother. "And I'm sorry for doubting you. I will carry your legacy and become strong… At least as strong as Master Drake!"
"I don't know if you can catch up with that monster! He's the Dragon King for a reason, while you only have us to help you, Drake can absorb the Bloodlines and Divinities of every other Dragon in existence… But at the very least, we'll make you the Dragon King of Fire Dragons!" Laughed Asmodeus.
"Well! Surtr is still better than Drake when it comes to the Fire Element, hehe!" Mina was bragging.
"Hey, don't say that about his master…" Nadia crossed her arms.
"I'm sure he would admit it himself; Master is a very humble man." Surtr smiled. "Now, Venerable, do we qualify to enter?"
"You do." The Venerable nodded. "Tell Drake that the Inheritance Trial between all the competitors will begin in a month from now. On the Ancient Infernal Catacombs at the center of Muspelheim. It won't begin until all four of you are there."
"Alright…" Surtr nodded. "Will do! I don't mind if Master gets the inheritance, as long as those two bastards don't get it, then this was all worth it!"
"You're certainly more compatible for the inheritance though, so try to be more competitive!" Asmodeus annoyed Surtr. "What's so special about your Master? Just backstab him!"
"What?! I would never!" Surtr said angrily. "I will stop listening to you if you keep saying bullshit like that, Asmodeus!"
"Asmodeus stop being so selfish, Drake is someone very important to all of us." Muspel sighed. "Now come to the Draconic Records, your mommy and your siblings want to… give you a welcoming party."
"W-Wait, wait a second- AARGH!"
Asmodeus soul was quickly dragged back into the Draconic Records, where all his siblings and his mother gave him a nice "welcome party" which came accompanied by kicks, punches, and bites for having scared everyone by acting like an evil villain.
"Well, he gets what he deserves…" Surtr shrugged it off. "Now that we're done here, let's go back to the village where Drake and company must be waiting for us! I bet they're having a nice time with the locals they found, I'm a bit jealous!"
"Yeah, let's go." Mina nodded. "I'm hungry, so I hope the locals share some food…"
"I hope so too!" Nadia agreed.
"Hey. you bastards, wait a minute, you're missing your reward. Asmodeus wasn't it, that's his selfish act." The Venerable stopped them. "Here, everyone that completes the Trial gets rewards… Drake and his friends got Titan Blood, Divinity Fragments, and precious divine metals, and you're getting that too!"
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, several divine rewards were materialized in front of everyone…
Naturally, the ones that fought the most got the best ones.
