My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 818: Orion unlocks his powers



Azzy reached out with one hand, the tips of his fingers glowing faintly with dark and corrupted energy.

The runes were formed swiftly, unleashing the Seal of Gluttony. The Glutonny Beast jumped out of it.

Orion saw a slime-like creature that didn't have eyes or limbs. It only has a big mouth and countless sharp teeth.

With a leap, the Gluttony Beast jumped toward Orion, disappearing into his body.

Snap.

Orion blinked.

In the next second, his breathing hitched, and he fell to his knees, his hands on the ground. "Argh…"

Letting out a painful scream, Orion unleashed torrents of golden divine energy.

A thick golden aura erupted around Orion, crackling with black lightning. His eyes widened, flashing gold for an instant, then turned pitch-black.

His mouth opened, and a guttural snarl erupted.

Then, everything snapped at once.

The divine energy exploded like a ruptured dam. Lightning carved streaks into the air.

A shockwave blasted out from Orion's body, sending nearby training dummies flying like paper.

From the main estate, elders and guards jolted upright. An alarm bell rang out.

"Someone's power just spiked, uncontrollably!"

"Who?"

"It is coming from Palace Training grounds…"

Back on the training field, Orion's skin shimmered with divine veins, glowing ominously. His muscles swelled, and his consciousness had fully slipped.

Orion no longer has control over his own body.

Azzy watched quietly, crossing his arms forward. "Hmm… divine energy attribute trying to take over his body."

Orion raised a hand, and a black lightning bolt shot from the sky.

Azzy calmly tilted his head and shot his hand upwards at the same time. A large energy hand erupted out of his palm and caught the lightning in just milliseconds of time.

Then Orion lunged at the only person in his range.

With divine energy and black lightning, the duel attributes enveloping his body like armor, he crossed the field in a blink, aiming his fist straight at Azzy's face.

Azzy raised a single index finger and stopped the punch mid-air. The ground cracked under his feet, but he didn't move an inch.

"Graaaa…"

Orion growled like a beast and struck again, faster, and harder. Each attack left rifts in the air, but Azzy calmly nullified every move with precision.

"Come back to yourself, Orion," he said evenly.

*Raaaaa*

Orion screamed in a distorted voice. A second later, six golden-black spears materialized above him and launched themselves toward Azzy.

With a swing of his divine energy hand, they were all swatted away like mosquitoes.

Agitated and frustrated, Orion screamed again. A giant, armored golden body was about to form around him.

Azzy then finally stepped forward and charged at him. The armored energ body was broken like glass before Azzy's finger shot at Orion's forehead, poking at the center.

"Sleep."

Orion's divine aura vanished in a pulse. His eyes rolled back, and his body collapsed forward, but Azzy caught him before he hit the ground.

"Okay, Day 1 progress is good." Azzy nodded in approval, watching his son's face.

Meanwhile, guards and clansmen arrived at the scene, taken aback to see the aftermath, the shattered field, and the unconscious boy in Azzy's arms.

"Return to your duties," Azzy said calmly.

They hesitated. But the tone of command made them obey.

Azzy looked down at Orion and muttered, "Unfortunately, you didn't have an Arcana spirit to stabilize your powers and exert more control over the attributes. Hmm… I should look for Dr. Mac to give you a nice present, soon."

A couple of Hours later;

Pocket dimension, Northern Qudour;

Azzy stepped inside the lab, spotting a woman in a sleek lab coat, her dark hair tied up in a high tail, her pale skin glowing faintly from the artificial light within the pod where the Fallen Angel Berith was seen in an unconscious state.

"Dr. Mac." He greeted her with a smile.

The woman didn't look at him and continued to observe Berith, adjusting some controls on the digital pad. "I take it that your trip was successful." She said.

"Yes and No," Azzy replied. Taking a brief pause, he asked. Anyways, where's Aria? I can't see her anywhere."

Dr. Mac said. "She was on a mission. Not on Earth. She was in outer space for the moment, working on our satellite. There were some issues that popped up a week ago."

Azzy nodded. "I see."

"So, why are you here, Azrael?" Dr. Mac asked, further adding. "I don't think you are here because you missed me or stopped by to say Hi. I can see that you have become a demigod."

"How do you know?" Azzy was surprised at first, but then remembered that Dr. Mac was always the mysterious lady who created many sophisticated scientific equipment. He dropped that question and said, "Yeah, I'm here with a proposal instead."

"Let me guess. You want me to move into your clan village and modernize it?" Dr. Mac smirked, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes.

"Wha… how?" This time, Azzy was genuinely surprised by her reply.

Dr. Mac, however, said. "Follow me to the control room."

Azzy blinked, wondering why. But he followed her to the room,with a massive computer screen where like thousands of operations were going on at the same time.

Dr. Mac took the seat and took the keyboard, typing some commands for an entire minute.

And when she pressed Enter, a video was displayed on the screen, where Azzy saw himself with Dr. Mac. He was further asking her, a favor of creating an Artificial Arcana spirit using his divinity and anti-divinity as base instead.

"Wha…"

Azzy was stumped as he moved closer to the screen. "Is this…"

Dr. Mac smiled, adjusting her glasses. "Of course, the future. It's a program I set where my computer and the computer from the future timeline are connected through quantum entanglement. Whatever is recorded in the future by my control system, I can see here. Of course, it will only see my timeline. If the timeline has been changed, I can see the changed timeline too, but this only shows one hour into the future. I can't see beyond that."

"That's…" Azzy's mouth just hung down in shock.

Meanwhile, at Death Clan Village;

Orion sat on the terrace of the Garcia palace, gazing at the fake horizon. A faint golden glow hovered around his body.

"So this is my power?" he muttered, looking at himself. "So, shcway…"

Orion then looked down at his hand, and with a thought in his head. A small spark of golden-black lightning danced on his palm.

"Fascinating," he murmured, watching the spark of lightning. "What if we do this…"

He concentrated on the lightning spark. It grew bigger and went like it would go out of control, but instead, it was compressed and turned into a little humanoid-shaped creature. "This… Wow… I love this world…"
