Chapter 928 Strength Is Supreme.
It was a matter of course for him to become a mana entity but it was considered a momentous achievement by the Warrogs. A party was even thrown for him. It lasted 7 days and 7 nights. He managed not to snicker, sneer, or mock them through the period of festivities.
"Only strength is supreme."
He doesn't care about the respect and adoration of the Iron Fur pack. All he cares about is his strength. Becoming a mana entity is not enough for him to be content or happy about. The only thing about him that impresses him is his divine ability.
The vitality core within him has enlarged and become a black ball with 9 spikes. He is bigger and taller now. He reaches over 4 meters tall when standing. That is the height of Aeternus and Soverick combined.
His white fur is marked with some red tattoos. One of the horns on his head is completely red. All in all, he looks like a tribalistic Shaman of a backward race.
The changes he has undergone are much deeper than that. Soverick has become the child of the plane so he has unlimited access to Mana and origin energy. The tree father has also awakened so he has access to divine life energy. Mana and Origin energy is currently not useful to him. Divine life energy on the other hand is a blessing to him.
His divine ability has awakened officially when he became a Mana entity. Its current ability is to devour living things or the flesh of living things to empower him. He hasn't had many opportunities to use it because his preferred targets are Mana entities and Mana entities are very rare to come across.
Vitality core refiners don't even add 1 stat to him anymore if he eats one whole. Mana entities are the next best thing that eating will grant him power. But the only Mana entities around here are pack leaders. They are rare and he can't eat them.
A shaman can have a problem with a pack leader and even fight one to the death but that shaman has to give the pack leader an honorable burial unless the pack leader has broken some rules and is dishonorable.
Pack leaders rarely fight. And even when they do, they rarely kill each other. A pack leader can surrender when it becomes obvious that they are going to die if they don't. Their life will be preserved if they do so.
Pack leaders uphold the customs and rules of the society. They will surely be noticed if they go missing. It will also be very weird if he is picking fights with pack leaders for no reason, kills them, and then eats them. It will draw the attention of the overlords of the plane to himself if he acts out of place.
So all in all, he has not had the chance to taste a Mana entity. But he has been able to strengthen himself through other methods. The first one and his best method is divine life energy.
Helios could absorb Mana to grow stronger and then use life energy to break his limits. As for him, he cannot absorb Mana, but he doesn't have any limit at all. He can continue to grow stronger and stronger the more he eats.
Divine life energy is easily absorbed by his divine ability and turned into power for him. Unfortunately, the tree father doesn't have infinite divine life energy. The tree father needs faith to create divine life energy and faith is finite.
He is also not the only clone that needs divine life energy. Legion-7 is currently the one that needs it the most. He needs it or he might die. So Ragnarok has to limit how much divine life energy he uses and look for an alternative to strengthen himself.
He turned to the normal way that the shamans use to strengthen themselves. Omegas use the law of Slaughter in their divine ability to strengthen themselves. That also involves killing. But killing anything will work. They use what they kill to form power tattoos.
These power tattoos are the red tattoos on his body. That's why they say Omegas empower themselves with the dead. The red tattoos empower the Omega just like the connection that an Alpha of Alphas forms with the park empowers them.
He empowered himself and also learned more about his environment. He learned of the numerous problems facing him. He is now sure that the object covering the sun is a demon God.
He doesn't know the exact demon God but he knows that his situation is not good at all. He is yet to have a solution to that problem but that's understandable. There's nothing he can do against a demon God right now. He needs a lot more strength to be anything more than a bug to a demon God.
He also learned about the oppression of the Warrogs by the wood elves. He learned about the bitter and violent history between the two races so he understands why the Warrogs are being controlled and manipulated.
This mountain range is one of the scattered settlements of Warrogs. There is a large distance between each settlement. It ensures that the Warrogs are scattered and can't communicate with each other. If they can't communicate with each other then they won't be able to combine their strength either.
His search into the methods that the wood elves use to control the Warrogs also led to the suspicious weakening of the divine ability of the Warrogs.
He thought the presence of the fragments of the law of life within his divine ability was a personal and singular situation. But he has not seen or heard of any other Warrogs with the ability to eat things and grow stronger from it.
So he is relatively confident that the Warrogs have suffered a calamity and that it probably has something to do with the curse inflicted on them by the wood elves. And he is also sure that he is the only paragon with the full divine ability of Warrog
