Odyssey of the Blind God

The first thing Nial noticed as countless portals manifested in a range of ten kilometers around him was one thing; the portals were all connected to him!

Made out of dark energy, and pitch-black in color, the portals resembled the abyss itself.

Some portals were larger, while others were quite small in size. However, they all radiated the exact same pressure and exuded a sense of familiarity.

Nial could tell that the portals were part of one of Damian's special traits. To be precise, it was his Devils' trait.

Because his dark energy was connected to every single Devil, they had a special bond. The Devilized beings could teleport to their master using this connection as long as the master gave them permission to appear by his side.

Nial gave his Devils the necessary permission, and it didn't take too long for the first Devils to emerge from the darkness portals.

The first Devils were Kaeldur, Titan, Dexter, and Ryu. Nial was already familiar with them, or so he thought.

"Since when are you guys so powerful?" He asked, slightly baffled at how strong Kaeldur, Titan, and Dexter had become.

In fact, even Ryu was now at the Trixor rank, which was actually unbelievable. The Darkness Gryphon shouldn't have been able to reach the Trixor rank, in the first place.

Ryu merely screeched before it shot forward, rubbing his head against Nial's chest. Nial patted the needy Gryphon, just to sense that Shadow was getting jealous. Shadow had transformed into his smallest form, a twenty-meter-long heavy-armored serpent.

"You as well?" Nial blurted out, feeling as if something had gone wrong. Shadow was not only at the Trixor rank all of a sudden, but the Devilized Origin Leviathan was actually on par with a God in terms of strength. Nial felt that quite clearly, and it was a great shock.

"Master, your ascension unsealed the seals on the Old Devils. We've regained our former strength thanks to your ascension. The Devils you've created was also given an enhancement. Their body transformed in accordance to the potency of your Heart of Darkness…or should I say the Cursed Divinity?" Kaeldur explained while revealing a rare smile at the end of his explanation.

The Old Devils had been connected to Damian's Godly Fragment. Meanwhile, the Devils he created artificially had been bound to the Heart of Darkness. Both were in the same place, and they turned into Nial's Cursed Divinity, the Heart of Gluttony.

The Old Devils had already evolved and transformed in the past as Damian had ascended to godhood. However, the newly created Devils were different. They were given a great opportunity by being bound to the foundation of Nial's Cursed Divinity.

That was a great surprise, and certainly something Nial was happy about. Now that Shadow became stronger, it would be much easier to travel through the Universe, much larger distances with a single jump!

Not only the Devils he had created and summoned before his ascension to godhood appeared around him. Slowly, the darkness portals around him were used and one Devil for each darkness portal emerged in the surrounding area.

The Oracle stared at the hundreds of thousands of Devils that emerged in their surroundings with widening eyes. She knew that the Late God of Darkness had been powerful and that one of his strongest traits had been to devilize all kinds of beings. The Devilization changed the genetics of the beings, healing cripples and enhancing benevolent mutations, while simultaneously turning adverse mutations into powerful traits.

However, what the Oracle could have never anticipated was that there were so many Devils, let alone that all of them were so powerful. It was truly shocking.

The vast majority of them were on par with the combat power of Gods!

Nial was impressed as well, but he had already expected that his Devils would be powerful. Damian's memories were apparent in his mind. That was why he had a much easier time recalling the combat prowess of every Devil.

Nonetheless, the Devils were even stronger than he recalled from Damian's memories.

'Looks like sealing the Devils for eons allowed them to refine their powers to the peak.'

The Devils were stronger than ever before, and Nial knew that he required this kind of strength in the near future.

"Tens of thousands of Devils with the strength of Ancient Gods, and more than a hundred Devils with a combat power rivaling Divine Gods. Looks like your strength increased quite a bit, Nial," The Oracle said, smiling brightly at him.

She knew that Nial was not yet strong enough to deal with the Advocate on his own. But that didn't seem to be necessary anymore, either way.

With the Devils by his side, it shouldn't be a problem to kill the Advocate of the Pryard.

"I thought that it would be necessary to cultivate my Cursed Divinity a little bit until I'm stronger…but I don't think that necessary," Nial mumbled while stretching out his hand. A huge portal of darkness manifested above him in which the Devils charged without hesitation.

There may be lots of things that he should share with his Devils but Nial believed that it was easier to hoard the Devils inside his Heart of Gluttony where he would share the memories and pieces of information about the current situation with them.

That would make things a lot easier.

"Let's go to the Divine God of Truth!" The Oracle exclaimed quietly, ignoring Shadow and Ryu while reaching out for Nial's hand.

She knew exactly where they had to go. Thus, she was going to take the lead from here on.

"The Divine God of Truth has his own domain, so it's not too difficult to find him. However, it will be easier to avoid the guards and other Gods for the time being. After all, you should first talk to the Divine God of Truth before anyone else. Otherwise, things might become a little troublesome for you." The Oracle pointed out and Nial couldn't agree more.

"I would like to avoid trouble as much as possible…that would be for everyone's best."
