Vesuvius felt his mind drifting across the endless black void, the golden radiance shining from above his head, bathing his body in its divine energy. He felt the heat seep into his body, lingering within his heart and soul.

Suddenly something pulled him, his consciousness turning into an arrow as it quickly accelerated, getting sucked away into something behind him as if there was a massive black hole.

He couldn't even resist his body being just dragged like a toy by a child.

The next moment he suddenly opened his eyes. His huge body was lying in the massive temple under the golden statue of a dragon. The burning sensation had already dissipated. Instead, he felt immense energy and power flow through every nook and cranny of his muscles, veins and bones.

//

The next moment his whole vision was spammed by announcements, his eyes going wide as more and more of his abilities were changing and improving. A wave of pain passed through his whole body, erupting from his bones reaching all the way towards the tips of his horns.

Ding!

'Divine energy, what is that...'

A pain stabbed through his head, new spells flooding his mind. They were all spells that were more complex and powerful than any that he ever saw, all containing magic letters that looked different from any magical letters that he had seen before.

It was as if they were an absolutely different alphabet.

You have achieved a world achievement: [2nd player to gain divine power]

Do you wish to broadcast your achievement to the world?

//

'Hella no! Or maybe? With my current power, it could be fun to troll all of the players. Maybe they would just consider it to be a glitch... No, who knows how much trouble it would bring. Especially when there is a player that for some reason also gained access to this divine power... how is that even possible?'

Ding!

//

You gained a blessing: [Lesser Divine Beast]

Conditions: Have a divine energy

Description: A blessing of the world given to a beast carrying the privilege of divine energy obtained through their own hard work or their divine ancestry.

Effects: Part of the ???; +1 DIV; One random piece of the most desired knowledge (Can be redeemed at any time); All of the beasts and animals will fear and obey you

//

For some reason, Vesuvius didn't feel any joy from the blessing. Instead, he felt his pride getting hurt, 'Such an insult! I am a dragon, not some wild beast!'

The announcements finally quieted down, leaving the dragon slowly absorb all of the changes to his body and soul.

'This was a much bigger upgrade than I expected.'

Finally, the dragon stood up, his whole armour glinting with golden ore veins, a faint golden radiance shining out of the cracks within the black heterogeneous material. His eyes shone brighter than ever before, the golden lights glowing like two massive lanterns.

His long horns, the crystals on his wings, amour back and claws all contained traces of gold, faintly pulsing in red and golden light. The magma flowing within the crevices and cracks of his armour slowly pulsed between golden and purple, the two colours mixing, creating a posh luxurious look fitting even a Byzantine emperor.

His whole body felt like a timed bomb, each muscle and tendon containing enough force to crush mountains and cut skyscrapers in half.

Vesuvius changed so much, even he himself not knowing where to start with his new powerup, 'Divine energy, another source to incorporate with my mana and lifeforce. When I think about it makes sense that dragons should eventually gain access to it. They are descended from a god, so doesn't it makes them something akin to demigods?'

He had no idea what it was or how it even worked as he came into contact with it for the first time in his life.

'I hope it is not only some turbo-boosted mana.'

Vesuvius slowly walked out of the temple, his claws making golden electrical sparks as they scratched against the plain stone floor, his wings itching and begging to be used.

'I am gaining power fast, but I did not have enough time to explore it properly. I should probably slow down and take time to truly digest my gains. There is no need to rush. Otherwise, I will end up as a brute force bulldozer with no semblance of skill.'

The dragon finally exited the temple, and the bright sunlight shone at him, unable to penetrate through the black smoke screen outside his body with a golden electrical spark flashing within it.

He spread his wings, and the green plain under him cracked as he shot upwards with immense speed and force, leaving behind golden lightning and dark black smoke.

'Such a speed?!' it wasn't even him using any of his powers. It was just the effect of his boosted agility and strength stats. His eyes brightly shone as he watched the world under him turn into a blur, 'I hope they will keep their word. Otherwise, I will have to beam them up.'
