[Small Fragment of the Lesser Dao of Transformation]
An incredibly small fragment of the crystallization of the Dao of Transformation, containing its primordial and transcendental essence and an incredibly small part of its capabilities.
The Dao of Transformation is part of the Lesser Dao subcategory, formed by the combination of Nature and Life as its primary Laws, alongside Illusion and Strength as its secondary Laws, it grants the user the capability of shapeshifting into powerful beings and change the nature of its attribute particles to fit these transformations specializations.
Primary Effect: Grants the ability to manipulate one's Attribute Particles while transforming into previously designed or registered forms, matching the primary attributes of such transformations, and changing the attribute of the attribute particles that are not of the primary attribute of the transformation.
The conversion effect, however, is reduced due to this not being the Complete Dao of Transformation, changing it from 1:1 to 1:0.2.
Secondary Effect: Enhances the swiftness of transformation by 200%, while enhancing damage dealt while in Transformed State by 500%.
…
Amazing…
This is incredible even as just a tiny fragment! And it became already part of my own power.
However, the conversion rate matches what I saw the Gods doing, it wasn't completely even.
This conversion rate is different than simply going from one to one.
In here, if the primary attribute I want all my attribute particles to transform into is Fire, to get a single Attribute Particle of fire I will need 5 attribute particles of other elements…
I mean, it is still amazing! It means that if I want to, I could turn 5000 Attribute Particles of… I don't know, Thunder? Into 1000 Attribute Particles of Chaos! And this would stack up with many other attributes… Meaning that Chaos could easily skyrocket in power.
It even comes with a passive effect that enhances my swiftness at transforming and my damage dealt while transformed.
Well, I always transform when I go serious, so this will come perfectly for me.
However, this is merely but a tiny part of this Dao entire power… If I were to master the Nature, Life, Illusion, and Strength Laws, I would be able to learn this Dao and slowly master it, unlocking even greater effects…
But even then, this OP Dao is merely cataloged as a "Lesser" Subcategory! What?! Does this means that some are way broken than this?!
Damn…
Okay, let's calm down for the moment.
How did these Dragon Gods get their hands into this? Well, it's simple to know now that I assimilated their memories after eating them.
And, well, a little birdie that didn't want to reveal its name (I bet it was the System Master) gave it to them just an hour before everything began, alongside the recipe to quickly build the formation to use this fragment, and the materials needed too…
Well, their Divine Realms were all assimilated into my own Divine Realm, so the formation is now inside of it, but the fragment is gone because I just ate it and acquired this… What could you even call it? It is like a Divinity but no… it is not a Skill either, but it's there the effect, and it's permanent.
I don't know if I would be able to devour an entire Dao Crystal though, maybe I might die because I don't have enough comprehension. I can merely use this part of its power because it is very weakened.
And well, they just got this heaven-sent gift and tried to use it to kill me. I guess aside from their stupidity they were also confident in this power, huh? But even then, they still sucked and died miserably. I guess you just gave this treat to me at the end, a mysterious figure that gifts Dao Fragments!
If he keeps doing this to ruin me, I might end up powering up even faster. So I hope he does! Let's see how far you can go, bastard.
For now, it seems that he's planning a bunch of stuff, as I can see it through the many possible futures through my combination of Stargazing Eyes and Fate Threads Manipulation.
After annihilating these Gods and working ahead of time, I had already disintegrated the possible future where I died horribly, but many new futures emerged… many options, many possibilities.
Being able to see all these things is truly exhausting, the possibility that by doing a single thing wrong I would die is… mesmerizing. But this is why I am using this power to its full strength.
The best thing is that I can learn things through seeing these possible scenarios, seeing the future where I fight against entities I had never meet in person is very helpful too, as it helps me to see how they can fight, and I can also ultimately learn who is plotting against me.
As of now, the primary enemy is still the System Master, he's scheming a billion things down, one of them is gathering Great Gods to come to kill me.
And while doing that, he's casually distributing Small Lesser Dao Fragments like the ones these Dragons had.
He really doesn't give up, huh?
Though… this also gives me an insight into Zubekh… He's getting involved with all of this as well, and he will soon begin to change the world again by selling something more.
I also learned from these possible futures that he is moving to Aztlan, as there is… another Origin Core Fragment there!
Oh damn…
I have to stop him before that happens, of course.
And now that I know where he is exactly thanks to eating the girl he cursed and gaining an abyssal connection with Zudig through the [Abyssal Curse Connection: Zudig's Loathing: Level 1] Skill, I could more or less get where he is and eat him up.
Well, not really. I am not confident enough, the guy is already halfway through Great God Realm, he is gaining so much money through what he's selling that he's buying all sorts of stuff inside the Interdimensional Merchant Shop and increased his cultivation a LOT.
But… he just hit a progression wall.
Nonetheless, the bastard thinks that he's good enough to eat an Origin Core Fragment…
The thing is, I cannot teleport into places I had not visited yet, so I can't easily teleport into the Astral Road where he is and catch him red-handed.
What I could do is… contact the Gods of Aztlan, the ones that showed some kind of intent of friendship as they blessed my children and wives when they were mortals, create a Divine Connection with one of them, and instantly get inside their Divine Realms through Divine Connection Rifts that help Gods easily enter other Gods Divine Realms, which is essentially teleportation with extra steps.
I bet he can't do this because those three are idiots that can't really talk with other people without trying to eat them or something (totally not me!), but I value the power of friendship unlike that trio of edge lords, so I am sure that those Gods will give me a hand! Especially if I offer my help for whatever problem they have… and if that's not enough, I could even offer my goods.
By goods I mean the immense amount of divine materials I have, I am rich pretty much, I have eaten so many Gods that all of their divine realms had given me an immense amount of wealth in divine materials.
So if nothing from before ends up helping, I can always bribe…
Anyways, as I had said earlier, I don't want to confront Zubekh with his current power, I have to raise him to Great Goddess too!
But more importantly, for now, I will do something really quick.
Well, I am already doing it!
What is it? I am flying around the entire Lower Realm at an incredible speed, dividing myself into dozens of clones and sending them all across the entire place.
I am completing dungeons, of course!
Bombing the entire dungeon until all the monsters and bosses die, and then catch the dungeon core and fuse it with my main dungeon, which is already fused with me, as I am also a dungeon!
The more dungeons I connect myself with, the more power I can gain passively, such as Divine Points, and even permanent stat points!
So through this whole time that I was thinking and planning stuff, I was flashing around through the entire lower Realm.
And the Lower Realm has the same size as the surface Realm, it is just a giant flat land without the sea.
Well, there are certainly some gigantic pools of lava around, but those are not really seas…
And now that we just slaughtered all the Gods here, everything is peaceful, and no one is bothering me.
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
I fly through the entire Lower Realm at a fast speed, while I had already added the Divine Area that the Gods were saving up it the three Pantheons that once governed this place… all of those divine areas were fused into my divine realm, filling the empty grasslands and deserts with overflowing divine materials filled with divine energy.
And as I did that, I quickly completed more and more dungeons… Well, more like wrecking them apart with my strength, but you get it.
If it weren't because Dungeon has this indestructible capability, they would have all been destroyed by my hysterical attacks.
I simply flew into there ad blasted everything with all types of attacks until nothing remained except the route to the core, one by one, I got each dungeon.
After around an hour, it was over.
I feel the connection with dozes of dungeons all at the same time, it was almost mystical, mesmerizing even! It was… amazing.
The overflowing power was small if only one, but with so many dungeons that lacked an owner who had all fallen into my hands, I was receiving a decent amount of power over time.
This connection became almost mystical, it was as if I was connected to the entire area of the Lower Realm… Insane.
And then, something even more insane happened…
Ding!
[The [Lower Realm] has been conquered!]
[Do you desire to form the [Realm Core]?]
<Yes> <No>
"Eh?"
Seriously, this really caught me off guard…
Erm, what is this?
"Andromeda, care to explain…? I really need some insight…" I sighed.
Andromeda, the System, quickly came to my aid, telling me what exactly was happening here at long last, although I was surprised, she quickly calmed me down with an explanation that went into more detail.
[Oh, sorry about that, Master, it really surprised me as well… Well, what you can see through the holographic dungeon is merely what you've achieved, by conquering every single dungeon in the Lower Realm, you've unknowingly conquered [Land] within the Lower Realm, until you've finally filled every single piece of it, and had refined it through your essence connecting to the dungeons, which are fused with the realm itself… Meaning that as you fused with dungeons, you fused with the Realm!]
"Is that… so? Wait, did Zubekh even did this?" I asked.
[I don't know exactly, but it seems that he was never capable of any of this after he devoured a dungeon he stopped for some reason…]
"I see… Wait, can you explain this a bit more?" I asked.
[Sure thing, I know that this might be too confusing, but Dungeons are part of the Realm when you conquer one, you actually conquered a part of the Realm's [Land], after conquering dozens of dungeons all across the Lower Realm, you've managed to successfully conquer all of this [Land] and also fuse with it! Making it all your territory]
[Now that you've conquered all of this territory, the requirements for a hidden system function that has never been implemented emerged, it seemed that the System Master had created it for himself, and this is why it was so saved up, but now that you unlocked it due to having copy-pasted the System into your soul, you are free to utilize it!]
"What is the name of this function?"
[The name is the [Realm Conquest] Function! By creating a [Realm Core] here, you will be able to manipulate and have supreme authority over this entire part of the Realm, as if it were a dungeon!]
