"I'm back" Chris.

After finishing the tribulation and handing over the genesis flame and heavenly lightning to Mana, Chris parted ways with his group and returned to the lake temple, to see the previous temple master's soul fragment.

"So you've been successful in your advance and apparently reaped more of the windfall."

The soul fragment could see that Chris was close to the second mystical rank, but not only that, but also his physique and battle ability were raised by several folds, but that was not all, Chris's weak presence had become more subdued. , preventing it from being more difficult to measure his power or strength.

If the soul fragment were to make an exact measure of Chris's power it would be invincible within the mystic realm only having to worry about the people who already entered the ancient and higher realm.

"Tell me why you wanted me here, there shouldn't be anything else here for me to do," Chris asked.

"I want to give you something this is useless for me, but it should be of great use to you"

"And what could this thing be?" Chris said confused, which could be more useful than the ancient weapons that were in the temple.

Chris had already received the holy weapons from this temple and the abilities of each of these weapons were truly monstrous despite only being able to extract a small part of their powers, if Chris used them he was confident that their power would double.

At least Chris believes that if he uses them he could even defeat an ancient kingdom in the early levels.

"I'm not sure, but something tells me that I should give you this as it will be useful for you in the future"

At that moment a small gem appeared in the soul fragment's hand, once it appeared it flew towards Chris, but when the gem reached Chris's hand he couldn't hide his surprise as his eyes sparkled.

"That is?!" Chris.

The little gem was about the size of a marble, Chris could feel great power from the laws and rules that he gave off, but only when he touched it did he understand what it was.

"That's right, it's a divine spark"

Chris realized the moment he touched her that his powers as well as the other divine sparks within him were reacting, but having the confirmation from the soul fragment he was more certain.

"This is really a divine spark I can't feel any natural law or special power coming from it" Chris asked confused as he couldn't tell what Law was in the divine spark.

"That is because this divine spark is not from the natural laws, besides the divine sparks that the elements are based on, as well as the foundations of reality such as space and time, it is not all that is encompassed by the laws. and rules that crystallized into divine sparks, there are also divine sparks such as graces and sin, as well as some that are based on the concept of emissions"

Chris knew that divine power was almost all-encompassing, but even being able to be based on concepts was something he didn't expect.

"How many divine sparks exist in total and what are the powers of divine sparks other than elemental ones?" Chris asked.

When Chris obtained the divine sparks of sun, moon, stars and storm, he was able to understand his powers were similar to elements, but very different as they invoke various elements, as well as a more complex and new concept.

The sun was made up of fire, which represented its material form, which was a mass of flames, light, which represented day and life, since sunlight allows life to exist.

When one cultivates and reaches the seventh mortal rank, the body becomes self-sustaining, whether eating, breathing or having a habitable atmosphere were not necessary, since one could sustain oneself by absorbing the necessary nutrients to survive from the energy of the environment that surrounds one. even in the vacuum of space.

But for normal people the aura of life that the sun expels is something necessary to live as much as the air that is breathed.

Therefore, when Chris entered his own internal universe when he noticed that a sun, moon and stars had appeared, thanks to the power of divine sparks, he either manipulated the power of these celestial bodies, even altered their own physical bodies or created them on their own. Even all this became possible thanks to the power of the divine sparks, but more than all this made the worlds in the internal universe gain the qualifications to become habitable worlds that can support life.

For example, some of the most powerful fire magic was based on the sun, creating artificial suns by recreating their physical composition through magic.

But if Chris had to compare an artificial sun made by magic or one of the mini suns that he created using his divine powers, it's like comparing TNT and an atomic bomb.

Whether in matters of uses or fire potential, the powers of divine sparks were in another league.

"I can't answer your question, since I don't even know that answer" the soul fragment replied to Chris's question, since, although it had a lot of memories of the original King Arthur who was a god king, many of these memories and information had been damaged over time or were blocked.

"Then what about this divine spark?" Chris pointed out the snowy divine spark.

"That is the divine spark, that my true eighth self when he was alive and it is the one that gave him all the divine powers of him"

"And what is her divine right?" Chris.

"That divine spark is one of the seven graces, courage has the power to make you immune to all mind-altering abilities, plus you can use it to undo spells or curses that affect people's minds as long as you have the power. enough to do it," the soul fragment replied.

Immunity to mind attacks was something that all of the upper worlds had sought for a long time, as mind-altering abilities were ranked among the most dangerous.

But no matter how much effort they invested at best they could only increase the chances of resisting mental interference, not immunity.

After all, despite not being well known, mental abilities not only hurt the mind and conscience of people, but can damage the soul in some cases.

But just at this moment, Chris was just told that there is a divine spark that gives immunity to this kind of problem, no matter how it looked, the expression on his face was that of not being able to believe what he was just told.

"Are you sure you give me this, after all a divine spark is something a god would kill for, and this seems more valuable than a normal divine spark" Chris.

"I know how valuable it is, but it's useless for me to have it since I'm not even a person, having it with me is fruitless, but in exchange for giving it to you, I want you to do me a favor."

As expected, no food in the world is free, the higher the prize one receives, the tougher the test that must be faced.

"What do you need from me" Chris.

"You should know that there is a fourth weapon besides the three you just got right"

"Do you mean Caledfwlch or do you prefer that I call it ExCalibur" Chris.

"This is how to know the weapons that the Welsh family has are only replicas of the originals, don't you find it curious that it had a replica of ExCalibur but that the original was not in this temple"

As the soul fragment said, the fact that ExCalibur was not in this place was something that had caught Chris' attention.

"What do you want to get to with this point"

"The reason why ExCalibur is not in this place is because it is destroyed."

A god weapon that even surpassed the Caliburm he wielded had been destroyed no matter how you looked at it seemed like a bad joke, but Chris could see that the soul fragment wasn't lying.

Before the incident 16 years ago, Chris had only come into contact with one mystic class weapon (Myth) and it was his preferred weapon, but compared to the Caliburm that he only wielded once it was very obvious which was more powerful.

"If ExCalibur is destroyed it doesn't mean that Caliburm is currently the strongest sword among the set of 4" asked Chris, after all restoring a destroyed weapon is more complicated than making it.

"Not really, ExCalibur was destroyed and divided into 10 fragments, a hilt and 9 blade parts, but its power is still intact in each of the parts"

"But even if you put the parts together and reforge this would only create a new weapon and not reset the ExCalibur, it's even more likely that the new weapon won't even have 10% that the old weapon (ExCalibur) had" Chris.

Chris rebutted the words of the soul fragment, as a craftsman Chris knew very well the problems of trying to repair a destroyed weapon.

"It's true if you try to repair in a normal way, it would be impossible to bring ExCalibur back to how it was originally, but who says that there is no other method"

"What do you mean" Chris.

"You should know about the ExCalibur scabbard, if you gather all the parts and use the scabbard, the chances that the parts will come together by themselves fusing once more and ExCalibur will return to its original state are very high."

"Even if that's true a probability still has a failure rate" Chris said not very convinced.

At that moment a sword similar to Caliburm, but different appeared in the room.

"This is the replica of the ExCalibur that King Arthur used even though it is called a replica and it is a mystical grade item (Myth), its power is much higher than that since its core is one of the fragments of the original sword"

The moment the soul fragment touched the sword it melted like clay in his hands until he only left a fragment of the metal where the sword had been.
