Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!
chapter-986

Michael teleported them inside the Supreme Human Alliance's territory. Nobody really knew their exact coordinates, but it wasn't like their exact position changed anything. Only Michael had to know all of it to use Slipstream in the case of an emergency.

But there was no emergency ahead, other than them attacking the Divine Academy flooded with Divine Lifeforms as instructors. The Divine Academy was massive and covered the entire planet - albeit a relatively small one. Still, there was not a single weak entity on the planet. Even more interesting was that the entire planet was protected by several Tier-8 Hyumans, various fortresses and so forth.

At least, it was supposed to be like that. There were supposed to be several Hyuman Fortresses, several dozen devices concealing the Divine Academy and protecting it from prying eyes, and so forth.

Michael released them onto the small planet called Keiros and told them to act as they pleased. He mentioned the Blood Incursion and that it was possible to find victims who've been resisting Blood Incursion but not to hesitate if they've already fallen victim to it. Blood Incursion was devilish, and Michael would have loved to help everyone, but he was only one person. No matter how strong he was, it required too much time, effort, and resources to rescue a single Blood Incursed Human. The longer the Blood Incursion had befallen them and the easier it had affected them, the more time and resources would be needed.

Once Michael disappeared, countless explosions resounded throughout the surrounding planetary system.

"Our Lord is a very…unique person," A Berserker pointed out as the explosions unfolded, and everyone nodded in unison.

"I guess he destroyed the Hyuman Fortresses with some of the power he'd accumulated in his God Curse. I heard he used his God Curse to take something from the Altors Union and has been using the energy accumulated within the stolen objects to play around," Lokai said, her eyes trailing the explosions. Some were larger, while others were small, almost inconspicuous. "If that's how our Lord fights, I would much rather avoid becoming his playmate," The Berserker laughed, and the others joined with a chuckle.

Kaleb tilted his head but shrugged at last. He turned to the Divine Academy's main hall, coated his body in the Frozen Nova Armor, and released a burst of energy to close the distance. He kicked the ground while circulating a massive amount of energy through his body and moved forward. A small blob of Frozen Nova's power gathered at the tip of his fingertip. It was a trace of its essence, further augmented by one of his Soultraits. Kaleb released it toward the nearest wall of the Divine Academy's main hall. The tiny blob splattered and disappeared. At first, it looked like nothing major happened, but the wall was frozen and cracked suddenly. Kaleb snapped his fingers, and the wall, made from a material that could endure the physical and elemental attacks of a newly ascended Divine Lifeform fairly easily, crumbled.

Kaleb jumped into the main hall through the massive hole and pointed at it with a smile, "I like this panorama window. Sorry if I broke something."

He grinned at the sight unfolding before him. Hundreds of students were being taught about the way of the Supreme Human Alliance. They were meditating with several Instructors seated at the upper end. The Instructors' eyes were closed as their entire focus lay on the surrounding energies. They only opened their eyes when Kaleb conjured several icicles made of Frozen Nova Essence. The icicles nearly pierced their eyeballs and would have exploded, freezing their skulls and brains in one go.

Unfortunately, the Instructors caught the icicles and crushed them before they could do any major harm. But that didn't mean they didn't inflict any damage. Kaleb might have hoped for the Instructors to die quickly, but he had expected them to respond accordingly. That was why he had enhanced Frozen Nova, pushing it to its strongest form, using multiple Soultraits and an almost perfect Soullife Arts simultaneously.

Most of his Soultraits were compatible with each other, but Frozen King, Emperor Poison, and Perfect Mastery worked especially great with each other.

Both Frozen King and Emperor Poison were 6-Star Soultraits, Frozen King granted access to the ice element of various attributes. It also strengthens all existing types of Ice Elemental Soultraits, including Frozen Nova. Emperor Poison didn't seem to work well with Frozen Novam, but it was oddly compatible with Kaleb and Frozen Nova. Once applied to Frozen Nova, the Emperor Poison accepted various freezing properties of the Frozen Nova's ice. It augmented them and pushed them to an even higher level.

Emperor Poison could create various poisons, but most of them were lethal once they reached the bloodstream. However, there were also some poisons that required a mere touch to kill the target within a minute. Even Divine Lifeforms struggled to block the poison. That was exactly what happened as the Instructors grasped and shattered the icicles.

Emperor Poison had been applied to the icicles, freezing the target's hands right after the poison was applies, slowly corroding their frozen hands before proceeding to move onward. Under normal circumstances, frozen hands couldn't nourish poison well, but Frozen Nova and Emperor Poison worked almost perfeclty together. The altered poison worked better under such circumstances. It spread faster in the cold.

Kaleb ignored the meditating students, most of them were either around his age or not much older and younger. It was a weird sight and tried to make him remember something he had already forgotten. The Instructors looked at Kaleb and jumped up. Their Artifacts manifested all over their bodies, but they reacted a little slowly.

To be precise, they didn't react slowly. It was just that Kaleb was much faster and stronger than before. He might only have advanced to Tier-6 a few days before Michael arrived, but his body was stronger than the norm. His 6-Star Soultrait, Frost Titan, had already transformed and shaped Kaleb's body, pushing him closer to a perfectly attuned creature. His attunement toward all ice elements couldn't be any better at his rank and Tier.

He unleashed a fury of attacks and activated Elemental Summon to summon a massive Glacia Giant, which blocked one of the Instructors for a moment. The remaining enemies encountered a wave of poisonous ice, which they blocked with their energy membranes. However, instead of blocking them perfectly, the poisonous ice penetrated their defenses and poisoned their energy membranes, slowly draining their energy. They were forced to infuse more energy into their defenses to maintain the energy membrane as it decayed and froze simultaneously.

Kaleb controlled Frozen Nova precisely and triggered Infinite Ice, a Soullife Arts that allowed Kaleb to create and control a near infinite amount of Frozen Nova's ice with little energy. Maintaining the Soullife Arts drained his Soul Power and Lifeforce rapidly, but that was a fair exchange. After all, Infinite Ice allowed Kaleb to weave Frozen Nova's ice like water and gas. He shaped it at will, transforming it into whatever he desired. Several arms sprouted from his upper body, each wielding a massive frozen sword. It jut from his Frozen Nova Armor and was clearly made from his Soultraits, but it responded and moved like the average arm of a powerhouse like Kaleb.

He appeared before the first Instructor and released a series of dozens of slashes in quick succession. Glacia blue arcs filled the air, but none of them inflicted any damage. The Instructor blocked the blows with his Divine Sword Artifact. Still, the damage was done. Not to the Instructor, but his weapon. The Divine Sword Artifacts blocked and shattered the frozen arms, but they didn't inflict any serious injuries on Kaleb. Before the blade could reach him, it was already growing heavier.

The Emperor Poison and Frozen Nova had infested the blade, seeking for the tiniest flaws and openings to invade. When they didn't find the flaws, they created them. Kaleb was suffering, not from injuries caused by the enemy who couldn't reach him, but by his own actions. The Soullife Arts drained him quickly, and he understood it was time to end the fight. Thus, he used one of the most controversial Soultrait Symbols in Michael's possession. He didn't acquire it from Michael directly but purchased it to cope with one particular fact. What would happen if someone stronger than him appeared, or someone with a 9-Star Pyro Elemental Soultrait were to appear and he didn't want to flee?

Would he have to die?

Not necessarily. The answer was simple.

Demon Seal, a simple 5-Star Soultrait, was the answer he'd sought.

Kaleb unleashed the Demon Seal he'd engraved inside his Energy Pillar for the last few years. He'd infused his excessive energy alongside the Frozen Nova Essence into the Demon Seal, knowing deep down that the more energy he was going to store inside it, the more destructive the Soultrait was going to be.

He might have to recharge it every single time to unleash the same prowess as today, but Kaleb was tired of being an ordinary folk. He wanted to retain the glory and praises of the Zentika house. He wanted to be special again. Thus, Kaleb paid the price.

The ice spreading throughout the entire main hall of the Divine Academy shattered. It shot in all directions, only to freeze in time and be sucked in Kaleb's direction. Kaleb's Soultrait devoured the ice, shaped his body, and altered his skin color for the duration of the Demon Seal's active augmentation.

Kaleb's skin turned glacia blue and the white in his eyes transformed into a sapphire. At least, that was what it looked like as the scenery around him changed. His presence increased manyfold and the Instructor facing him opened his eyes in shock. His eyes bulged further as a massive claw, glacia blue in color, pierced through his chest.

The Instructor froze to death and shattered as Kaleb pulled his claw back.

His body cracked as the changes continued, and horns jutted from his body.

Momentarily, he contained the power of a Greater Demon King.

That was enough to deal with the remaining Instructors.
