Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

These notifications popped up in his mind when the poison reached him. The poison stuck close to his body, seeping into his pores and entering his body, trying to kill him from the inside out, but he didn't feel a thing.

[You've come in contact with the organ petrification, blood solidifying, and heart-stopping poison]

[You're immune to this poison]

[Damage received: 0]

"The authority that makes me immune to poison works against poisons of otherworldly creatures too! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Elliot's lips stretched back into a smile as he happily inhaled and exhaled the poisonous miasma.

Meanwhile, his golden arrows wreaked havoc on the snakes, killing another ten of them. The rest of them charged into the thick of poisonous mist, running away from the deadly threat. Only that, they ran towards an even greater threat!

One of the many snakes was desperately running away for dear life, slithering across the poisonous mist as fast as it could. However, it crashed into something solid and came to a halt. It raised its head to look at what it was and saw a devilish smile.

And that was the last thing it saw before a fist packing smashed its head to the ground, causing blood to burst out and it to lose its vision. It was still alive, however, and Elliot could tell that because he hadn't received a notification of its death. Thus, he raised his right leg and stomped on its head.

Its head exploded this time, and the news of its death popped up in his mind.

"I guess there must be other snakes who have snuck inside the poisonous fog to hide from my arrows. Let's hunt them down." While saying those words with an evil smile on his face, Elliot created two hammers, each four meters wide and three meters long.

The psychotic killer started to move around the fog while carrying weapons of destructive might, and whenever he saw something even resembling the shape of a snake, he whacked his hammers at that spot. Sometimes, he smashed nothing more than a shadow, but most of the time, he crushed a snake and plastered it into the ground with a heavy and resounding thud.

After playing Whack-A-Snake for several minutes, he managed to kill all of his enemies.

[You've defeated a total of 65 snakes and earned the right to obtain their essence of life]

"Extract it from their bodies," Elliot commanded.

Immediately after, the artifact activated the power of the authority of life, and then Elliot started to gain a huge boon in his strength.

[Extracted the essence of life from 65 creatures]

[You've gained 6500 units of the essence of life]

[You possess a total of one thousand and four hundred units of the essence of life in your body. Would you like to advance to the first level of the Celestial Channel Creating stage by using 10000 units?]

He knew that advancing into the next stage would allow him to store 1100 units of God's Qi. Currently, he could only store 100 units!

However, he wanted to know what other benefits it would bring him before coming to a decision.

"What types of benefits would I gain from advancing to the next stage?" Elliot asked in his mind.

[Except for the ones I mentioned a long time ago, the true benefit of advancing into the next stage comes in the form of energy discharge. You'll be able to freely discharge a large amount of energy from your body after you gain a celestial energy channel]

"Isn't that something only magic grandmaster can do?!" Elliot's eyes widened in pleasant surprise. From what he knows, to use the three great spells of magic grandmaster, a person needed to learn ways of energy emission/discharge.

[And you would be able to do so too]

"Level up!" Elliot readily agreed to the creation of a celestial energy channel in his body.

[Where would you like to create it?]

"Where? What option do I have?" Elliot asked curiously.

[Option A: Left Arm

Option B: Right Arm

Option C: Right Leg

Option D: Left leg

Option E: Chest

Option F: Stomach

Option G: Head

Option H: Spine

Option Z: Heart]

A total of nine options weren't they too many!

"Which ones are the best?"

[There are three! If you create one in your head, you will be able to see far beyond your field of vision. Creating one in any of your arms will improve your attack damage. Creating one in any one of your legs will improve your agility]

"Recommended the best one for me."

[Your right hand!]

"Do it! Create the first one in my right arm."

[-10000 units of the essence of life]

When this notification popped up in his mind, Elliot felt large streams of warmness moving from the pit of his stomach to his right arm.

The moment ten thousand units of the essence of life gathered in his right arm, a notification popped up in his mind.

[You are undergoing evolution. Please sit back and wait patiently]

Immediately, a large amount of soul-numbing pain assaulted him.

He felt his right arm submerging into the deepest and the hottest recess of a volcano. His right arm brightened up in a golden glow. The glow grew in intensity with each passing moment. It became so strong that it blasted apart the mist. At the same time, the pain that Elliot was feeling reached its peak. He felt something ripping apart his soul. He felt the fibers and the muscles of his very right hand unfolding before hot lava poured on them, then slipped in between them.

Suddenly though, most of the pain vanished.

[Congratulations! You've advanced to the first level of the celestial channel opening stage]

[Your right arm has evolved into God's right arm]

[You've gained a slight increase in your race, Demi-human & Semi-God]

[Your Health Point has increased to 100 units]

[You've taken a step closer to becoming a Demi-God]

[You've gained the ability to discharge 1100 units of energy from your right palm]

[Your energy capacity has increased to 1100 units]
