Chapter 359: [357] The Commandment of Lust
Holding the Divine Power Crystal in his hand, August suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to swallow it whole.
This surprise and strange feeling puzzled him.
"Fels, how do I use this?" August asked, eyes narrowing as he examined the shimmering crystal.
"Just eat it." Fels replied calmly.
"Eat it?"
"Yes. Those were Ouranos' exact words."
August hesitated. Ouranos? His name was not one August trusted. In the original story, behind many dark matters like the corrupted celestial beings and heretics, Ouranos' influence could always be found. Moreover, the so-called Divine Power Crystal was shrouded in mystery—he couldn't be sure if there was any hidden cost.
[Divine Power Crystal: A crystallization of divine power. Once consumed, it grants the user the divine power of the gods, fully activating their divine blessing and transforming them into a demigod.]
The last line of text clicked in August's mind. Demigod? This would make him part of the divine hierarchy. In this world, there were no true demigods; gods couldn't have children with mortals, let alone empower themselves like this. But August didn't care. Whether he became a god or a demigod, as long as his strength increased, the consequences would never affect him.
Without further hesitation, August swallowed the Divine Power Crystal.
As the crystal dissolved in his mouth, divine energy coursed through his body, mingling with the blessing that had been etched within him. The blessing shattered completely and fused with his very essence, vanishing from his back entirely. It was as if August could now go to Loki and have another blessing inscribed upon him, though he didn't need it anymore. His strength had grown too great for such trivialities.
