Talent

Alex was originally a lone Seven-Star Fiend who had accidentally obtained this Blood Essence. He discovered that this Blood Essence could autonomously refine Sovereign's Power from Inkstones. This discovery left Alex both ecstatic and extremely cautious. In the Hell Plane, there were only a handful of people capable of refining Inkstones into Sovereign's Power. He naturally understood the principle that possessing a treasure while lacking the strength to protect it was a crime.

At the beginning, he remained very careful and established the Thick Earth Tribe, solely to collect wealth more efficiently so it could be converted into more Sovereign's Power.

For many years, Alex rarely made a move, wanting to quietly amass a fortune until he possessed the strength of an Asura. Only then would he emerge to challenge an Asura. Knowing his strength was currently insufficient, he could only settle down and cultivate properly. However, ever since Alex converted all his wealth into a single drop of Sovereign's Power, his mindset changed.

His mentality shifted; he felt that the speed of collecting wealth this way was too slow, so he cast his gaze toward the surrounding tribes. After successfully annihilating the tribes in his vicinity, Alex managed to successfully convert another drop of Sovereign's Power.

This made Alex even more arrogant, and he set his sights on the Black Water Tribe, which had strength comparable to his own. As a tribe led by a Seven-Star Fiend, the wealth they possessed was definitely enough to convert into more than one drop of Sovereign's Power.

Alex then set his sights on Adam and his group, simultaneously issuing a Fiend mission to wear them down as a safety precaution. It must be said that this wishful thinking was quite clever, and with Sovereign's Power, Alex also had the capital to save his own life.

This guy could be considered unlucky. If he had only been able to cultivate peacefully for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, he might have become a top-tier expert at the Commander level in the future. Alas, his greed was insatiable; he wanted to gather more wealth to condense Sovereign's Power faster. He used the Fiend mission to cover his tracks, but in the end, he was like the hunter who eventually gets pecked by the goose, being ambushed and killed by Hodan.

Once Hodan refined the Blood Essence and became a Destruction Giant, he realized that Destruction Giants were not lacking in Sovereign's Power. From the moment of his birth, he could connect with the heavens and the earth, autonomously absorbing Sovereign's Power from the lowest depths of the Divine Power Ocean.

However, this speed was not fast. According to the inherited memories, a Destruction Giant in the Low-God stage would need 1 million years of doing nothing but fully absorbing Sovereign's Power from the Elemental Ocean. A Mid-God would need about ten thousand years, and a High-God would need one hundred years.

Hodan had just absorbed the Blood Essence of the Destruction Giant and was transformed into the body of a Destruction Giant; he was currently equivalent to a Destruction Giant in its infancy.

A Destruction Giant naturally reaches maturity in one thousand years, which means that in a thousand years, once Hodan transforms into a mature Destruction Giant, either his Destruction or Thunder God Clone could absorb enough to obtain a drop of Sovereign's Power within a hundred years if he put in full effort.

Of course, when reaching the Paragon level, the blessing of Willpower might make it even faster, but the original owner of this Blood Essence had not reached the Paragon level, so Hodan did not know exactly how it would turn out.

But this was already an extremely fast speed. Of course, it was far from as fast as directly extracting Sovereign's Power from Inkstones, Azure Stones, or Thunder Stones.

Hodan held an Azure Stone Slab in his hand and fully activated the innate ability of the Destruction Giant. In an instant, he reduced the Azure Stone Slab to ashes, and the Sovereign's Power within the slab turned into wisps of mist.

This meant that as long as there were enough Inkstones, Hodan could refine one trillion Inkstones into a drop of Sovereign's Power within a day. Because the speed was faster, the loss was also less. This was much faster than directly absorbing it from the bottom of the Elemental Ocean. As long as Hodan possessed endless wealth, he would never lack Sovereign's Power.

A single drop of Sovereign's Power could definitely be exchanged for over one hundred trillion Inkstones, and it was a case of having a price but no market, because no one would be foolish enough to sell a life-saving item like Sovereign's Power. After all, not everyone was Reisgyn, who had a Sovereign for a mother and possessed endless Sovereign's Power to squander at will.

Hodan could understand why he could refine Sovereign's Power so quickly from Inkstones. To use an analogy, it was like an ancient person going alone into a ten-thousand-meter-deep pit to mine gold. Then, they would have to transport it to the surface, and finally, refine the gold ore into gold; that would naturally be time-consuming and laborious.

But the existence of Inkstones was like giving Hodan high-purity gold ore directly; Hodan only needed to extract it from the ore, so the speed was naturally fast.

Alex had previously converted two drops of Sovereign's Power, but unfortunately, they were both used up in this battle, which was why Hodan only saw over one hundred billion Inkstones worth of wealth left in his Space Ring.

Since he knew he could extract Sovereign's Power, Hodan converted the wealth he had just plundered into two drops of Sovereign's Power. As for the remaining wealth, because it wasn't enough to convert into a full drop, Hodan kept it for emergencies.

Hodan looked at the two drops of Sovereign's Power in his hand, his breathing hitching. For those Prefects, Asuras, and Commanders in Hell, besides Sovereign Artifacts, what did they care about most?

It was the very thing that people at their level would compete for—Sovereign's Power! Hodan now had two drops in his hand. With his ability, these two drops of Sovereign's Power could be converted into endless wealth and Sovereign's Power.

Relying on Sovereign's Power and his current peak Six-Star strength, he could even fight against an Asura or Prefect, and perhaps even pull down those weaker Prefects who lacked Sovereign's Power. Of course, this was under the condition of having sufficient Sovereign's Power, but with Hodan's current strength and connections, he believed that as long as he operated carefully, he would soon achieve his ideal results.

Putting away the Sovereign's Power, Hodan once again examined his abilities.

As a unique race between heaven and earth—the Destruction Giant—he also possessed his own innate divine ability.

His innate divine ability was the Destructive Demon Thunder Body, which could greatly enhance the clarity of his insights into the Thunder and Destruction Rules. At the same time, it could greatly enhance his defensive capabilities; both physical defense and soul defense could be improved by a whole grade.

At the same time, the Destructive Demon Thunder surrounding the Destructive Demon Thunder Body was also a sharp weapon for attack. As long as an enemy approached, they would be attacked by the Demon Thunder without him having to lift a finger. The intensity was at the same level as his own comprehension and fusion of profound mysteries. In other words, if Hodan were a Seven-Star Fiend, the attack power of his protective Demon Thunder would be at the Seven-Star level. When Hodan reached the Paragon level, even if he just stood still, any enemy who approached would receive an indiscriminate attack at the Paragon level.

Moreover, this was an attack initiated spontaneously by the body communicating with the heavens and the earth, requiring no consumption of his own divine power or spirit. Of course, this could be controlled by himself; Hodan did not want this protective talent to attack indiscriminately. A Destruction Giant was truly a living natural disaster.
