Chapter 778 Divinities
-----
Drake had become a Dragon God! But his Race was just that. He had thought he would become an Orochi God or something, but no, he was merely and plainly [Dragon God] this was also something bothering him a lot, it felt that all his evolutions so far were now meaningless, making him frustrated. He decided to ask the System about this as well, hoping to get some concise answer to his ever-growing frustrations.
[Your Race evolutions have not been for nothing, each Race Shape has been memorized within your body and you may shapeshift into each one at your liking, attaining their capabilities. You can also fuse each trait and create new forms using these evolution forms. Your Shapeshifting also has the Permanent Mimicry feature, where you can mimicry and recreate traits from beings you've eaten, therefore you can also take the forms of all the monsters or beings you've consumed. The power of each Evolution remains within your soul and body and is the foundation of your power. They had not been for naught.]
[Your current race is a generalization for all Dragons that had reached the God Realm, you're the first in a few thousands of years, host. So despite how dull it might sound to you, you're quite unique. Additionally, the Race name will change based in your Main Divinities and then Auxiliary Divinities]
[By spending Divine Power, you can increase the Rank of your Divine Core and may evolve, given the choice to pick a new evolution as well. This feature won't happen every time you Rank Up, but it will happen after enough power is accumulated, forcing your body to restructure itself and evolve to suit your new power]
[Host, do you desire to use Divine Power to acquire Divinities? You require a Main Divinity to attain your full power in the Rank 7. After obtaining one you will also grow stronger. Bear in mind that as of now, you can only possess 2 Main Divinities and three Auxiliary Divinities.]
"Hm… I-I see. Okay, show them to me, let me see what I can get…"
[Understood]
Ding!

Drake saw the available Divinities he had, they all cost a large quantity of Divine Power. They were not cheap at all, even the lowest Ranked Auxiliary Divinity he was interested on, Divine Cooking, cost 100k Divine Power! Wouldn't that already weaken him a lot? However, he began to think that perhaps the Divinity by itself could make up for the power lost… But aside from power, he really didn't had much idea what Divinities exactly did.
[Divinities are something similar to Passive Abilities, they can passively grant bonuses to damage dealt using the element of the divinity, special resistance to other elements and divinities, and also the power to use divine magic of that affinity to even greater levels of power with less Divine Power cost. As you can tell, even attacking using divine magic may cost Divine Power, so it is something you must first secure a large quantity of or a way to slowly regain some over time. I would recommend the host to make your followers create a shrine for you as a god and spread the word about a simple prayer for you, doing this every day, or multiple times a day could bestow the host with daily quantities of Divine Power]
"I see, I understand a bit more now… Well, the choice is quite obvious, I'll pick Eternal Winter as my main Divinity for now, I can't afford another one with the 500k Divine Power I have… I also really want to pick the Divine Cooking Auxiliary Divinity…" Sighed Drake. Despite having been forced to grow stronger and fight in this world, Drake was always passionate about cooking and he enjoyed the art of gastronomy very much. He had even developed Cooking Magic by his own. Now that he could grab a divinity of it, he really just wanted to get it… And he did, by pure impulses. "Ah well, screw it."
Ding!
[You have exchanged 300000 Divine Points]
[You acquired the [Divinity: Eternal Winter (B)]!]
[You have exchanged 100000 Divine Points]

"It seems I grew way stronger…" Said Drake, quickly noticing his own strength had increased quite nicely, and he also felt his magical power flowing through him like crazy. Above all, his aura began to emanate strong icy winds that spread out like a storm. He quickly used his new Divine Ability to contain this power and manipulate it… Divine Aura was something amazing, it felt like an extension of his very soul but even stronger. He could already shape it however he wanted, and might be a key power for the use of divine magic and even to fight other gods if that were to even happen.
"Amazing… Now that I got this… System, can I see how much I need to upgrade my two Unique Abilities at A Rank?" Wondered Drake.
[Calculating…]
[Unique Skill: Winter Magic (A)] Requires 300000 DP to upgrade to S Rank]
[Unique Skill: Ice Absorption (A)] Requires 300000 DP to upgrade to S Rank]
[Divinity Aura (C)] Requires 100000 DP to upgrade to B Rank]
"Oh, I see… I guess I got no points for that…" Sighed Drake internally, as he began to think about the Divine Abilities he could get through Divine Power. It seems there was like a whole list of them. The System promptly showed them to him, as he saw a bunch of Divine Abilities, they all costed above 100k to get. There were some interesting ones such as Spatial Inventory, Doppelganger, Summon: Divine Sword, and more. They were all god-like powers, even the lowest Ranked ones! His eyes couldn't help but shine as he saw them all.
SLAM!
However, he was quickly interrupted by his family, as Drake was quickly brought back to reality.
"Drakeeeeeeeeee!!!"
"Papaaaaa!"
Benladann and Benladra were the first to rush to his side the moment he woke up, jumping over him and hugging him tightly…
