"< Blood Eclipse Dragon Demigod Authority >" (I)

Ding!

This is the skill I got during my last Evolution, a Transcendent-level skill, whatever that means, a skill that had its power partially sealed away by the various Divine Blessings I carry.

I'm not sure how far this skill goes, but just like another Skill of the same Transcendent level, the two skills are in a new place that has appeared in my stats called Transcendent Skills.

I tried asking my sisters about it, but none of them told me anything about it, Ragnar seemed to know something and he wouldn't tell me either, so I thought I'd let it go if I wanted I could force Ragnar to tell me everything he knows, but as my Familiar I believe he wouldn't hide things from me without reason.

As soon as I used that hour my Aura and Authority instantly mixed with my Holy Power creating an area that kept expanding until I willed it to stop, this area is different from a Territory where I use my Authority to take possession of an area.

This time it was different I wasn't taking ownership of my surroundings, it was different, I don't know how to explain it well, it was like I was imprinting myself on the surroundings, I wasn't cutting the space around me and building a Wall by claiming to be mine as they are the Territories, I was bleeding my presence by letting it be absorbed by the surroundings as if I were becoming part of the environment, it was an opposite process of creating a Territory.

The way I gained control over this area was also different, in a Territory I was the ruler and that's how it worked, becoming supreme of that area where I rule.

But within that area that I just created it was different, the process was much more subtle and delicate, if the Territory can be summed up in control, this area can be summed up in influence.

I felt everything inside that area as if I were meditating to look inside myself, I could perceive the energy flows that already existed here and let my Authority bleed in them making it naturally travel throughout this area interacting together with the world.

The sensation was so new and strange to me that it momentarily distracted me from my goal of coming here, my mind just got carried away by these new sensations.

When I returned my attention to the cocoon I realized that all the energy flow in the area was being concentrated around the cocoon, but keeping away, I could feel that it was waiting for my willingness to interact with it in the same way that it did with the others who also became involved found within that area.

When I use my Aura to touch the cocoon everything around me seems to take it as my will to interact with the cocoon and the entire environment has responded to my will.

I felt the energy flows from the entire area connect and merge with mine as they became the connection between me and the Cocoon as all of my power passed through this natural flow to be absorbed by the cocoon.

All my Mana, Ki, Spiritual Energy, Holy Power, and Vitality was passing through this invisible flow of energy until I reached the cocoon, I could feel it happening but nothing could be seen differently with my eyes.

Ding!

I could hear the system chimes, but I knew they weren't about the Awakening Ceremony process, at least not yet, this was perhaps referring to that area that I prefer not to worry about right now, I don't want to have unnecessary distractions while I'm taking care of this cocoon, I just want to see the notifications regarding the Awakening Ceremony to make sure how the process is progressing as I have done so many times before.

I feel the energies pouring out of me at a speed that surpasses anything I've felt before until it completely fills the cocoon.

I didn't understand everything that was happening, many notifications were popping up at the same time and new sensations hammered in me with almost no time to read the notifications in an attempt to understand what was happening.

At first, I felt my power fill the cocoon, but by the time it was filled and the Awakening Ceremony was supposed to begin I felt like I was being restricted, it was like I was constantly pressing a switch during a power blackout, no matter how much I pressed, nothing happened.

I didn't stop trying and my will to continue only grew by the second until the environment itself shook along with my Aura as I tried to force my way through each time realizing more the instinct that I was almost there.

When I managed to activate the Ceremony of Awakening the feeling spreading through me was unlike anything I felt the previous times, it was heavy and forbidding, I could feel the blessings within me react, but they did nothing.

Soon came three powers that flooded the surrounding area, an energy that was Life itself, an energy that made me feel like I was surrounded by Blood on all sides, and an utterly savage tyrannical energy.

I also felt as if several pairs of eyes were focused on me, I didn't fully understand these sensations, it was only after reading the notifications that I realized what these sensations were.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat with everything that was happening, the strange things were already starting at the beginning without giving me any time to react calmly, things were happening in a chain from one country to another with me only being able to count on instinct to follow.

I felt like someone devoid of the sense of sight from birth trying to understand the shapes of things or the appearance of the world around me with the initiative difference that there were no people to teach me anything, I had to walk while tapping into things relying purely on my instinct not to do something wrong, which I suspect I'm already doing.

All I know is that suddenly the Blessings of the Goddess of Life, Dragon God, and my mother inside me started to travel through my body, but it wasn't meant to give me power, I actually felt a feeling of freedom at the same time as of overload where I almost lost consciousness.

The 3 Blessings only served as a buffer for the pressure coming from within me as they seemed to try to guide me, I simply followed in hopes that it would all be over faster.

I felt relieved to have something to point the way for me.

Pov Elizabeth:

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I knew something would happen, but I didn't imagine the appearance of a Sanctuary, I didn't think it would go that far even without the knowledge about all this.

"I never want to hear about being drastic in my youth again." (Caitlyn)

"He's crazy, did you tell him about the Shrines and Holy Lands, Elizabeth?" (Natasha)

"Of course not, it was too soon for him and I didn't want to see him in a state of unrestrained curiosity." (I)

"(As is happening now, this fool is going much further than I thought, I can feel the presence of the Gods watching from outside the Sanctuary.)" (I)

The cocoon before in red and black colors now had a layer of power around it that resembles a starry sky, it just looks like a silhouette of a portal that leads to the stars, this is the power of Zenos taking effect in the cocoon.

"The flow of energy is weird..." (Caitlyn)

"Vital energy is also behaving strangely…" (Natasha)

"Is he trying to create a body like we expected or is this something else?" (I)

"(Is there something I still haven't figured out about the pod or Zenos? Why can't I understand everything going on?)" (I)

"What are you doing now little brother?" (I)
