The moment his former heart returned to his chest cavity everything changed in that instant. He felt as the thing started to work like a normal heart to pump his blood, but it was strange. The blood that entered it felt like it was getting empowered and he realized he had gotten a Dragon Core.
They were the dragon race's most potent weapon and reason for their overwhelming power. Vritra, Draig, Albion, even Tyrant all had one in their chest which gave them massive energy reserves which he welcomed as his big moves used a huge amount of his mana.
He wanted to facepalm, but he was completely paralyzed as his body went through multiple mutations and changes that were overwhelming his senses. A god was already powerful, but Dragon Gods were the representation of power.
Kurayami was stuck in his body while he cursed himself for not seeing this sooner.
'Why was it hard to think about the Void? It was not like I never thought about it, but just now it clicked like some instinct.'
As he was deep in thought he appeared back in the same throne room of the Goddess as she looked down on him from her throne He wondered why she was so interested in him and he came up with a theory that was totally true.
He thought she was just a bored loner, which was true. She knew what he thought, but she felt it was not even an insult. She was a hardcore loner and she preferred to just do her job and have fun with her two hobbies.
"The simple reason my dear Akuma is the fact your Divine Spark messes with your mind. Some of the laws of reality made mortals with Divine Spark's struggle to awaken them or think about what Divinity belongs to them. However, it can be bypassed like that. Have fun Akuma."
She sent him back to his body to observe him with more interest while he was far from the only one she had ever reincarnated he was the most recent. The rest were either dead, ascended, or just not good enough for her standards that's she sent her pets after them.
She still had 3 more besides Kurayami, but two of them were starting to not suit her standards. They were becoming dumber and dumber the stronger they got and that was debatable. They took the shortcut to godhood without properly nurturing a Divine Spark which already lowered their worth in her eyes.
However, what made them less than desirable is that they pursued every skirt they saw. It was downright creepy so she thought they would make a good target for her precious Akuma. He was a diamond in the rough, but that could wait He still had more growing time and for now, she would wait and watch patiently.
Once she stopped talking to him he got back to work as this was going to take a second. Now his thought wen to the current Dragon Gods as If Ophis was the result of the Infinite, Great Red of Dreams, he at this moment would be the Dragon God of the Void.
He even felt that he was close to gaining his own dragon form, but for some reason, he felt that it was weird. He wished he had time to ask the goddess about it, but for now, he could not.
"Why are gods so annoying? Wait, I am one too so am I going to be that annoying? Definitely not."
He shook his head and he clenched his fist as he felt like his power was limitless. At this moment He had all three powers of the Dragon Gods. He had the Infinite, Dreams, and Void which was simply overwhelming.
His Divine Spark had now grown, but it would have to grow as his Divinity grew. At this moment it would just give him extra power, but in time he felt that if he did not mess up the void would be his to rule.
As for his pets, they were being fed the overwhelming power of the Dragon Gods, but Tyrant and Ladon were the ones who benefitted the most. As dragons the power was more compatible. Kurayami would have to check on them later, but the ones who were connected directly to his soul were Shin, Rebellion, and Incinerate Anthem.
As for Shin and Incinerate Anthem, they were connected to the Hevane System, but not any longer. That also meant that like most other users of sacred gears in the case of his death his consciousness would be stuck in them and they would return to as two separate Longinus to Heaven System.
That was no longer the case as the stronger Kurayami got the more the faint connection of Shin and Incinerate Anthem to Heaven. At that moment all connections of both Longinus to Heaven were ripped to smithereens freeing him and them from the system.
In Heaven, Michael felt the Heaven System become unstable and he felt the fact that they had presently lost two of the Longinus. For Michale, any damage to the heaven system could result in glitches with souls, angels, and sacred gears.
He rushed to work on managing it, which Kurayami would have to apologize for that later, but now his two partners were free of their connection to Heaven. Shin felt light and free as Heaven still had a few restrictions on him, but now it was gone.
As for the cross around his neck, it erupted in purple light. Incinerate Anthem did not have a creature sealed inside it, but it did contain a pseudo will which after all these years it had grown and evolved and was near sentient. As for Rebellion as she was his soul-bound weapon she was included in the upgrade and the fact her lover and master had awakened she was getting the full brunt of his new power.
She always wanted to be the greatest weapon she could be for her lover. As a weapon spirit, nothing brought her more joy than fighting at his side. She would get her wish very soon as the failsafe in the sacred gears activated.
Both Shin and Incinerate Anthem felt the secrets hidden within every sacred gear in the heaven system. Now that Kurayami thought about it, every time he got stronger he felt that a few restrictions in his power were raised by something.
Now he knew what it was and he had to say that it pissed him off. He now knew why he had that feeling as he felt someone trying to steal his connection with his sacred gears. Sadly for the being their wasted attempts only pissed off both Shin and Incinerate Anthem which fought back.
They expelled together what was inside of them which was a mass of holy energy so blinding that it even made him look away. It to the form of an old man with no wings or anything fancy. This was just a will and yet it was this strong, kind of shocking.
"Grandfather, what do I owe the displeasure."
The will of God could be said to be his grandfather as every angel was related to him. Of course, it was the fact that he created them, but it was still weird to think about. The will of God did not speak and glared at him for reasons he knew.
God hated dragons and snakes for the fact his precious Adam and Eve were tricked to eat the fruit. It was laughable to Kurayami that a holy being like God hated a race so much he cursed Samael who became the Dragon Eater which he was going to tame anyway.
The will spoke in an archaic voice that sounded like preaching which he did not want to hear.
"You broke the rules of the Heaven system, you stole a Longinus from its destined one, you go against fate, but most of all you are part d-"
Kurayami was not going to stay and listen to his monologue and he decided to use the full might of his new 'heart.' The power that filled his body was so heavy he felt that he might burst from eating too much. What better way than to work out the kinks.
Now the blood of Ophis and his fallen angel bloodlines fused together perfectly raising the power of his body to a pearless degree. Black fire and lightning that had all of the aspects of his power filled the dimensional gap with enough power that half of the world would have been destroyed.
In both hands, Rebellion appeared, but she did not look like normal/ She had more than doubled in size and her colors were now pitch black violet, and red representing the three powers of the Dragons Gods. Even he had to say he was very thankful to his friend Azazel for making her.
Even though she was now two blades she was still herself. The only thing that was different is that he could use her in one sword, or two which he had to say her new form looked gorgeous to his standards.
'MASTER, Compiment me more please.'
'Later.'
He raised his right hand down high and swung down causing Black lightning snakes to strike God with the might of the Void, Infinite, and Dreams behind it which shattered part of the chest of the will into white light. In shock and pain, it roared filling the Dimensional Gap with holy light that made Michael feel like a flicker.
Shin who was connected to the soul of Kurayami roared and the cross around his neck fell off and became a type of semi balance breaker for the dog while a holy and cursed version of Ame-no-Ohabari appeared in his mouth.
Just like his master the sword now had the three aspects of the Dragon Gods. When he charged at will, it was enraged. Two of it's creations were going against it and that would not stand.
"INSOLENT BEAST! BOW TO YOUR MAKER!"
God tried to destroy Shin with the safeguards he had in place in case one of his sacred gears fell into enemy hands. Yet after his death, they became useless as no one but him knew about them.
If it were any other being in this situation that would have been the end, but Shin and Incinerate Anthem no longer were the same as when they were first made. Shin charged at God while the arrays in his body were destroyed one, by one.
God was shocked, but he noticed the Void, Dream, and Infinite in Shin's body quickly at work and he knew what occurred. The arrays did their job, but Shin just healed the damage and now he was in his face.
Shin swung his head and the sword in his teeth toward God's face., which enraged the will. It raised its hand and made a sword of light, but Kurayami was not going to stay out of it.
He pointed his hand at God and Rebellion took the form of a giant bow, while a giant bolt of lightning the size of Russian, and a fireball as large as the moon compressed into an arrow. He drew the Rebellion and fired the arrow at God which before the will even know what happened the arrow shot through his gut and hit the sword in Shin's mouth.
If any other being tried that they would die, but Shin was a part of Kurayami's soul. In simple terms, Kurayami's power was Shin's power and the sword absorbed the arrow empowering it so Shin slashed the head off the Will.
The will before vanishing cursed them all with rage in its heart.
"A THOUSAND CURSES ON YOU! MAY YOU NEVER-"
"Shut up."
Kurayami extended his hand and destroyed the will, but he did not let go of the energy it had and collected every single trace of it from into a small orb he made from the void. Kurayami spat out black blood as using the power that heavy was not easy.
Rebellion turned into her human form and helped her lover stand. Shin rushed to his master to help him stand, or float in the void. As for Great Red, he felt joy that Kurayami was that strong. He felt it was worth his investment, but all that remained was that Kurayami did not have his dragon from yet.
"Damn that hurts. This heart is seriously not nice to me now to what I promised. Rebellion your new form is amazing. Why did you change though?"
She looked away and grumbled about something that he had to say was true.
"You said you were planning on forging a larger sword for fun. What if you liked it more than me, to a weapon spirit comparing blade length is like comparing women's breasts. It is not nice. Still, you just know the way to a girl's heart. I changed to suit your needs as I am yours, and now you don't need to make another sword. I am good enough only. got it?"
"Yes, my lady. Now Shin, how do you feel bud?"
Shin sniffed his chest while this time Kurayami was close to falling asleep. He cursed out at the lie that God had managed to fool everyone. He barked saying he was fine, but Shin was complaining about God's power. How could a will be that strong anyway?
"That bastard was in no way just in the 'top 5' that is the power of a being in the top of the top. I am sure that in his prime he was probably stronger than Shiva, but how the hell did he fall from grace so much. I need to know, but now I think we should go back. I need to get the wills out of the girls."
Now Kurayami was interested in what God did to lose so much power and while he was in deep thought the same Goddess who was watching was rolling slamming her foot down on the ground of her realm in pure joy.
"HE DID IT! I KNEW IT!"
As a Primordial since times forgotten she had ruled over as the Primordial goddess of Death, yet after Chaos cycle, after Chaos Cycle she had grown bored. She looked into the Abyss of her realm and placed her fingers in her mouth before whistling.
From the deepest Abyss, a giant dragon that made Great Red look like a goldfish emerged with a giant chain going around his neck connected to her throne. It gazed at the goddess of Death while she was still laughing.
"What do you think of him Yac'thuithrh'itrod, I knew he could do it. I love mortals, even though they are so weak they just show so many more interesting things that Gods like me can't."
It took a breath and spoke with a voice that would shatter the mind of almost all mortals and even gods would become sand. It was not even worded but a mix of howls, screams, scratches, and music.
It was saying that Kurayami had potential and he was glad that his mistress was happy. She could understand him as she sat on the dragon's nose horn. He had the base body of a dragon, but on closer look, it revealed a grotesque monster from the foulest abyss. He was after all a child of Azathoth and a Dragon God which she stole so many Chaos cycles ago.
"Let's go. I need to meet my idea brother Skarlet, he will love my Akuma. Or try to kill him., trouble only leads to growth as they say. Maybe I should also visit my sister?"
The Giant Eldtrich Dragon Vanished into the Abyss and now she would be gone for a few years to meet with the one she called Skarlet. He was more famously known in another Dimension as the Skarlet King and he was her little brother.
