A similar scene than what happened before repeated itself within my World Realm. However, this time, I dragged power out of the "Underworld" within my World Realm, born after I absorbed and assimilated the fragments of the Realm of Helheim and ate the rest of that Necrotic Plane Rulers Vessel he had made using the Realm as its base.
Crack, crack…!CRAAASH!
A large hole opened in the ground, birds and all kinds of other animals and monsters immediately ran away once they heard the earthquake, a gigantic quantity of darkness, green fog, and phantasmal blue essence swirling together surged from the Underworld endlessly.
This was the true essence of Necrotic Energy, it was Nether, Phantom, and Corrupted Miasmic Souls all twisted together and refined through a Dimensional Law in that Plane, they flew endlessly into the skies, rushing into the Altar. After that, I needed another element, Darkness and Death. Necrotic Energy carried them naturally, but I wanted more. Hell, why don't we add Void to it too? Maybe? No, too many elements could corrupt the spiritual heart, my information and knowledge tell me so.
Okay let's try this then. I used my power over the World Realm and absorbed the darkness of the night within it, stars and an endless shroud of shadows and obscurity gathered around the Necrotic Energy, good. Now, Death. Where can I find the most Death? Back to the Underworld.
I saw a lot of Undead-type Divine Beasts and Cosmic Beasts there. Cosmic Beasts are the equivalent to Divine Beasts, but of the World Realm and above. They're much weaker than actual Cosmic Realm Entities of course. Well, at least the one born from World Realms at least.
"Give me your Death."
With a single command, the Undead melted, becoming black goo that gathered and fused together into a giant sphere of black goop, which I dragged back to where the other spiritual hearts were, and then fused it with the element of darkness, and the necrotic energy."Lastly, more Spiritual Energy."
FLUOOSH!
All of the elements fused, I compressed them as tightly as I could, until finally, barely, it worked. This means I can actually fit two elements into a single Spiritual Heart! But in other news, there's the fourth.
A beautiful, completely black spiritual heart, as if it were made of the blackest onyx, it didn't even reflect light, it was incredibly black. I was flabbergasted by its presence, as it exuded necrotic energy in tremendous quantities.
"This'll do it."
Like the other spiritual heart, this one will be my new Necrotic Core, and also serve as the Spiritual Heart of Darkness and Death, killing three birds with one stone. And that's not all, I am planning big things with these colorful jewels. I'll be doing something pretty crazy with them.
But for now, I'll let them fuel me with elemental spiritual, necrotic, holy, and demonic energies as much as they want. I'll need them a lot to traverse across these dangerous lands anyways. Ding!
[You have successfully combined several millions worth of Necrotic Energy with the Elements of Darkness and Death and the Spiritual Essence to create the [Divine Spirit Heart: Necrotic Death Shadow Soul (Tier 1)]!]
[You gained a tremendous quantity of Necrotic Energy and Spiritual Energy!]
[The Demonic Energy and Spirit Energy stat have already been fused into the Essence Stat.]
[You gained +200.000 Essence instead.]
With this, I have almost eight million Essence now, enough to do a lot more if I ever wanted to. Essence is tremendously strong too, based in all the bonuses it can offer.
[Stat: Essence]
A Unique Stat created when several other Energy-based Stats converge together into a single "Essence", it is a nameless power with a simple name, but it carries tremendous strength and is the foundation for most Energies that course across the cosmos, even Cosmic Energy. The more Energies or other similar Stats you acquire, the higher this Stat will increase as it will absorb them one after another.
1 Essence Stat = 10 of every other Energy-based Stat.
For every 100.000 Essence, all Energies Recovery Speed increases by +100% (+7.500%), and any Skill, Technique, Ability, or Spell that uses Essence receives a +25% (+1.875%) boost to their power. For every 500.000 Essence, you gain +10% (+150%) more Cosmic Energy and Cosmic Power. For every 1.000.000 Essence, you take -10% (-70%) Less Damage from all Other Energies and can restore 10% (70%) of the Damage you take from other Energies as Essence, as long as such Energies have been already merged into Essence. -----
The bonuses are ridiculous after the calculations were made… Over seven thousand percent boost to recovery speed, and almost one thousand- and nine-hundred percent boost to all techniques, abilities, spells and skills that use Essence.
And let's not even talk about the Cosmic Power and Energy Boost, and the Damage Reduction! Well, the last one seems the craziest, but it does balance out when you consider that most of my foes were able to still deal tremendous quantities of damage.
Most of their modifiers must have been in the hundreds as well, so even though I negate a lot of damage, they simply increase it even further… Its an endless struggle for who overpowers the other faster.
It feels almost too unfair. I wonder if there are others that have refined Essence, so it balances out? Well, balance has never really been my thing, I like breaking things, as much as I can.
"We're finally here, huh. It's really just a giant tower." Luminous commented, looking up. "Hey Kireina, are you going to bring these people to your Divine Realm or something?"
"That's my plan, yes." I nodded. "I'll "rescue" them in a way, fufu."
"You're quite the rude dragon, talking to my almighty mistress so casually. You might have formed a bond of friendship, but I don't think that means you shouldn't address her as your master!" Said Agatheina, suddenly getting slightly annoyed at Luminous' casual words.
"What?! I do respect her but there's no way I'll ever treat her as my Master, hahaha!" Luminous only laughed out-loud at her words, irritating her further.
"Agatheina, leave it be. I don't mind." I laughed, patting her shoulders. "There's something more important we have to do here. Hey, you Undead guys! Open the gates if you don't want me to open them myself."
A moment of silence was quickly followed by the tower gates opening slowly.
