Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1060  Death

Michael hoped he would never need this Soultrait, but he prepared it nonetheless.

Switch Bodies was a powerful Soultrait with one major restriction. You had to possess two bodies to use it. That kind of restriction was not something most Awakened could fulfill. In fact, the Primal were probably among the only ones with the powers to use Switch Bodies. After all, to meet the Soultrait's condition, your other bodies couldn't be much different. That condition was also why Michael had problems using Switch Bodies. The main body had several Divinities and different Soultrait Symbols as the secondary body, after all. Still, upon upgrading Switch Bodies to 10-Star, while also adding more than 100 traits of various Soultrait Symbols, Michael ended up with an immensely powerful Soultrait.

Switch Bodies could be used everywhere. It didn't matter where his bodies were located. He could be in the Origin Expanse, whereas the main body could be somewhere running across the cosmos. Or, the main body could be restrained by an Essence Seal that blocked all spatial movements. It didn't seem possible at first, but 90ish of the 100 Soultrait properties he had added to Switch Bodies had been infused into it to create this effect.

It worked out even better than Michael had expected. Switch Bodies was his greatest trump card…and something he didn't tell anyone for fear someone could find out about it with a Soultrait like Mind Watcher. Not telling anyone about it could be considered lying to Alice, Lucia, and others, but Michael told everyone he would be fine.

He smiled one last time at Alice and Lucia before Switch Bodies triggered, consuming the energy accumulated within the secondary body.

Then they switched bodies. Michael disappeared for a quarter of a second, only to be replaced by…Michael, who was covered in countless scratches. Silver serum gushed from the wounds, healing them slowly as he turned to the men and women in the clearing.

The Essence Blades pierced Michael before Switch Bodies activated, but they didn't cut deep enough to inflict much damage to his main body before the secondary body sacrificed himself with their trump card.

Memories of the secondary body flashed before Michael's naked eyes. It was a gruesome sight, something Michael would never forget. Even less because he felt everything as if it happened to him...because that was the case, somehow.

The endless pain of hundreds of Essence Blades piercing through his body, tearing through his skin, flesh, and bones. His screams filled Michael's ears for a moment. Then everything went silent.

The Essence Blades exploded, tearing through the secondary body, ripping him into shreds, just like Primal Xerx had promised.

Michael digested the memories slowly and began to wonder what would happen if this had been Alice or Lucia in his stead. What if they had been fighting the Primal? What if the same would happen to them?

A flood of rage and fury swept through Michael, and for the first time since he could remember, Michael didn't try to restrain his emotions. His blood was boiling, and the God Curses were not fully there to cool his emotions. Michael savored his emotions and let everything out.

"That's it. I'm done playing," Michael growled, the effect of Curse Fusion taking him over. His blood boiled, and his body expanded. The Divinities within him were wreaking havoc in the surroundings, slowly destroying everything in their path.

He looked around, his head tilted slightly when his eyes fell on Lucia.

She smiled at him and nodded slowly, her eyes glimmering as if awaiting her father's awakening.

Something stirred within him. His stomach tore and twisted as his Essences and energy gathered.

A primal roar escaped from the bottom of his existence.

The thunderous roar reverberated through the Untamed Jungle, filling the hearts of every lifeform in the Untamed Jungle with awe and fear.

The primal roar had yet to disperse when a familiar voice rang through their ears. However, the voice wasn't what it used to be. It was different…stronger…, and more demanding.

[Pray for my victory!] Michael roared, his voice wild and filled with wrath.

His subjects and the jungle monsters were starstruck for a moment, but they didn't think long before they kneeled on the ground, their heads facing Michael's direction.

Then they started praying, their words fueling Michael and Godly Faith.

He turned to Alice, who smiled at him through the turmoil of emotions wreaking havoc inside her and nodded confidently in his direction.

"I know you can do it. I always knew."

Godly Faith pushed Michael further and further, unleashing the true potential of his Divinities for the first time since they blossomed.

For the first time, Michael acquired the powers of a true god.

A vibrant halo formed behind him while multi-colored hues burst from his body. He listened to his subjects' prayers, digested them, and manifested the Runic Gate next to him.

The waves of rage and fury overflowed, but something had changed. Michael allowed the emotions to loosen and didn't try to contain them anymore. Instead of losing himself to the emotions, Michael gained full control of everything. Since his parents abandoned them, Michael had never felt like this. He had to keep the emotions inside to make his brother happy and show everyone that he didn't need his parents or sister to live a happy life. The emotions he tried to contain when he lost his brother or when his mother returned suddenly.

Michael had been overflowing with worries and doubts. He wondered why he had never been good enough for his parents and asked himself if it was his fault that they had been abandoned. Even though he had much bigger worries to take care of, everything still lingered on Michael's mind.

But what did it matter whether he had Demi Gods, full-fledged gods, or the Primal to defeat if he couldn't even be himself.

Michael was sick of hiding the full extent of his emotions.

For the first time in an eternity, Michael felt truly free.

At last, the faith in himself was restored.
