Chapter 82: Ch. 80 - The Great War! [17]
True to Raviel's words, as I was able to access the Demonic Energy inside my soul, I started working on creating my new body.
But Chamber, how can you create a physical body when you're inside your soul?
Great question!
I don't know.
For some reason, at least in my theory, my soul is inside Trihexa's stomach, floating endlessly.
As for how it survived? That's what made me confused. But I'll leave the curiosity for later. It's important to focus on the present rather than the past.
Now, with my soul still being alive, I can directly construct the body with the soul as its core.
So no, I won't be making the physical body inside the soul, but outside.
It's a bit hard to explain but just think of it as me being able to use my Demonic Energy to affect the outside world despite being in my soul form.
However, I can't just recklessly create my physical body without proper knowledge.
That's where my habit of reading every book I come across to has finally shown its usefulness.
Having read the entire library of the Sitri family, whom are very knowledgeble when it comes to bodies as they're known in the Underworld for their hospitals and health services.
Thanks to it, I have a considerable amount of physical body knowledge such as how muscles are formed, devil brains barely using 20% of its capacity and many other useful things.
Of course, knowing about them doesn't make him capable to creating the perfect body that has the strength of a titan or a brain that can use 100% of its capacity.
Knowing and Mastering are two exact different things.
Though that doesn't mean I would be reckless and quickly create my new body on a whim.
With my possible long time inside my soul, I have as much time as I need to practice, make mistakes and learn from those mistakes.
At my first try with Raviel's help, the body turned out a bit weird and disfigured. I knew I shouldn't be thinking of Goku while creating one.
Note to self.
After me and Raviel had a good laugh out of it, we proceeded with a few more tries, and with each being both bad and good depending on me changing my preferences.
In the end, I decided to stay with my original look with a small improvement on my appearance and somewhere down there.
I mean can you blame me? When the chance to make yourself look good is in front of you pass from it?
That's what I thought.
Second try, third try up until my tenth try, the appearance has finally taken a good path.
I no longer look hideous or is punched by Mike Tyson a hundred times.
Although I have no idea the standard of women when it comes to being handsome but I decided that I'll take my own taste on it.
And oh boy I look handsome.
Those piercing green eyes along with my jett black hair, chiseled jaw and everything else that makes a man handsome.
"How do I look?" I asked Raviel, taking in my new appearance with the help of an illusion.
Raviel looked at me from top to bottom, scanning my new look.
"It fits you. Or us." Raviel smiled as he answered.
"Thanks for the unbiased opinion. I appreciate it." I jokingly replied.
Of course that would be Raviel's answer, after all, my body is practically his also.
With my new appearance already decided, it's time for the crucial part which is if I should stay as a devil or turn myself back into a human.
Now that I can recreate my body, that means it's finally possible to make myself human again.
However, by doing so, not only I would lose access to the Demonic Energy, also all the benefits that being a devil has given me such as the physical strength, senses, durability and many more.
The only advantage of doing this is that turning myself back to being a human would remove my devil weakness, which is the holy light.
To be honest, for me, I personally think it would be better to just stay as a devil, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
'Maybe I can just turn myself into a human and just keep the benefits of being the devil?' Thinking of this, I decided to give it a try.
I don't know how many times have passed but so far, my progress in turning myself into a human with devil strength was very little.
The farthest that I can reach was turning myself into a Half-Devil and a Half-Human. Only through it I was able to keep my strength and remove my weaknesses.
The only disadvantage of this is my a decrease in my Demonic Energy capacity.
Actually, it doesn't sound that bad considering that my weakness in anything holy would be removed. After all, not only my Demonic Energy recovery is faster than normal but the potency of my Demonic Energy is thicker than everyone else.
With the combination of these two, a Demonic Energy capacity decrease nothing.
Still, there are many ways to increase my Demonic Energy so there's no point crying over them.
What I do want to do is if it is possible to plant more genes to my body.
Imagine if I have the blood of both a Devil and an Angel.
I would be an unstoppable force that could rival even the strongest Gods. If beings like Lucifer was rumored to have the same strength as a Major God, then being both a devil and an angel might make me stronger than Lucifer.
You might be thinking why I'm even saying this when it's impossible for me to become both.
Well, it all started when I proposed my wild idea to Raviel while I'm busy working on my body when suddenly, Raviel's words made me freeze in shock.
"Aren't we already one?" His words were followed by an explanation.
According to him, Lucifer isn't exactly a devil but more like a combination of a Devil and a Fallen Angel, hence why despite having the blood of devil run through his veins, Lucifer can still use his Dark Holy Light, a corrupted yet stronger version of the Holy Energy.
This is the reason why Lucifer was said to be ten times stronger than the other three Satans. Because he holds a power that is deemed as a devil's weakness.
And by being his first born, Raviel has inherited his father's blood with a little dilution to it.
In other words, the more children Lucifer bears, the lesser they will inherit his true corrupted angelic blood.
So being his firstborn made him lucky enough to become like his father, inheriting both his bloodline and his trait.
However, Raviel then poured a cold bucket over my head by stating he doesn't have his father's corrupted holy light, only the blood of the Corrupted Angel.
Although being a Corrupted Angel still gives the Holy Light but it's a shame that it isn't the Corrupted Light.
Nonetheless, this mind-blowing information from Raviel gave me the inspiration to try and combine the blood of the devil and angel into a single body.
And now, back to the present, so far, the body in front of me looks the same as usual but if you were to look at the inside, two opposing energies were fighting against each other.
Obviously, being a devil and an angel at the same time is not that easy to achieve.
The fact that the nature of Demonic Energy and Holy Energy are opposites makes the body unstable whereas a few minutes passed, the constructed body suddenly became disfigured and bloated.
It didn't take long before I immediately looked away from the scene as my body reached its limit and exploded into nothingness.
Well, I was expecting mashed up flesh and blood to fly around but thankfully it didn't.
Raviel appeared behind me and stared at the empty space before turning to look at me.
"Failed?" He asked in a simple tone, no longer as dull as when we first met. During my time here, Raviel was the only person I can talk to, so our constant conversation and interaction must've improved his social communication skills.
It was all thanks to me, of course.
"Yes, I'm missing something." I nodded my head in response, exhaustion appearing on my face.
"Missing something, huh?" Raviel also went into a deep contemplation as he tapped his finger on the chin.
We both stayed still for a few minutes, deep into our thinking.
"Sigh. If only Ajuka was here." Suddenly, we both sighed and said in unison, causing us to become shock and stare at each other before laughing.
"Haha!~"
After a moment of happiness, Raviel made a suggestion.
"Well, how about just turning yourself into a Half-devil first while make your other half, blank." I stared at him in confusion.
Noticing this, Raviel went on to explain.
Basically, what he meant is that I should address this problem in another day and simply leave an empty space for my Corrupted Angel bloodline to fit in later once I find the answer to the problem.
Well, he's kinda right but my situation outside is kinda dire, so I can't afford to go back out there weaker than before.
Unfortunately, it's the only plausible thing that I could do in this situation. I don't know how many times have passed outside and I don't want to take a risk and spend more time in here only to realize that hundreds of years have passed outside.
"Hold on. Wait a second…" Just as I was about to create another body but with a half-devil blood, I stopped in my tracks along with Raviel who seemed a bit confused.
"….How can I still have access to the Demonic Power when I no longer have a devil body? What if I simply create a body with an Angel bloodline instead?" Thinking this was a great theory, I decided to put it into a test.
Raviel also looked interested and stood on the sidelines to watch me do the work.
A few hours passed and I reconstructed my body that contains the Corrupted Angel bloodline.
And true to my theory, it didn't explode or anything. No collision of opposing energies inside the body.
If this is the case, does that mean my Demonic Energy is already permanently engraved in my soul that having a devil bloodline is no longer necessary?
|-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_|
[What do you all think about this? Although I know some of you liked him being a devil but I feel like it would restrict him instead. So I decided to let him take the path of evolution through bloodlines. Devil and Angel bloodlines won't be the only ones he'll take, there will be many opportunities in the future *wink!*]
[As for the some of you who are nervous that the Mc would come out and canon would already start. No worries, I don't plan on doing that, if I did, I might as well as thrash this fic.]
