Chapter 799 Moving On

-----
Drake was well aware of the uniqueness of his powers, but it was until his own father informed him that the power he had has never existed in this world that he realized the potential he held within himself. He looked at Fafnir with contempt but didn't seemed surprised. It was obvious it would be incredibly rare if not unique, it came from a Skill he acquired after dying and wishing for a System. But the more the Unique Skill System developed, the more powers it gained. Could this be a Unique Skill that harbored even more Unique Skills within it? well, to an extent it had so many abilities that such a statement was rather a realistic approach to the understanding of it, especially now that it had ascended into Divine System and was even stronger and greater than before.
"You have the power to absorb the divine power of others?" Asked Fafnir.
"Partially…" Said Drake. "It has a cooldown of a day. I have yet to even see its full potential."
"I see… Your power is frightening, son." Said Fafnir. "The moment you absorbed the attack I sent back at you, not only you absorbed those flames, but you materialized them into a Divinity, didn't you? Alongside that, I felt like a part of my divine power was lost… You… Drake, you have the power to absorb other god's divine power and even copy their divinities!"
"T-That much?! I could swear you didn't weakened or something!" Said Drake.
"I slightly weakened, but I have a lot of Divine Power accumulated over thousands of years… Nonetheless, you can abuse this power to gain divine power by absorbing it from other gods or… areas with divine power infused into them as well, isn't it?" Asked Fafnir.
"More or less, yes." Said Drake.
"You know? You're a quite young dragon god amidst this world filled with gods that raised from mortals. Us old gods are very rare, so there's little chance you'll ever find us, even less fight us, as we are mostly neutral and only seek the protection of the world. However, gods that rose from mortals are greedy and hunt each other to gain power. You have to prepare yourself to ultimately encounter various of them along your path. Old Gods have accumulated a lot of Divine Power over the years, but you had no years to accumulate such power, and things are only going to get more intense in the near future… Therefore, you must abuse your power as much as possible." Said Fafnir.
"I see…" Said Drake. "I'll abuse it as much as I can. But sorry for taking away Divine Power from you without realizing."
"I won't ask you back for the divine power you took from me in that fight, consider it your father's gift for you. The Divinity of Sinful Flames has an incredible potential, develop it well and it might come very handy in the future! You already got two strong divinities and another few as well, right? The Divine Flames you used were very similar to those that Fire Dragons wield… Where did you got that one?" Asked Fafnir. Drake quickly realized his father was talking about the Divine Flames divinity he got from the flames that were burning his entire body back then.
"A Chaos Spirit held them. It was a resilient little bastard that had parasitized the body and soul of an ancient Fire Dragon God named Blaze. He devoured his soul and body and made it his own. He threw these flames he had accumulated towards me to deal with me, as I was too much for him to handle… It was thanks to these flames that I also awakened my Godhood." Said Drake. "I am very grateful that I acquired the power of divine flames… I will honor Blaze and use them to protect this world and my family."
"Hm! That's the spirit, you damn brat! GRYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fafnir laughed happily, as Drake couldn't help but smile a little bit. Despite how monster-like and mysterious his father looked, he was still his old man, and he had begun to slowly let him grow inside of his heart.
"Is there a way to contact you after I go back?" Asked Drake.
"Hm, well, you can use the Draconic Records to communicate with me through telepathy! It will cost you a lot of Mana, but you got a lot of it now that you're a god, right?" Asked Fafnir. "One single drop of divine power essence amounts for thousands of mana. We gods have enough mana that we can shape landscapes. You have to slowly learn how to use such a large amount."
"I see…" Said Drake, thinking about the great new possibilities of his powers as a dragon god.
"I won't be able to bring you back here in months, the technique I used to teleport you inside my divine realm was through the power of the Draconic Records! And it takes a toll on me, but I am glad we were able to amend things and learn from one another better, Drake. Let me tell you that you make this old man very proud." Said Fafnir, he was old yet very cheery.
"I see… Can you teach me such an ability? Ah! Wait, what about the Divine Realm? Can I have one as well?" Asked Drake.
"Divine Realms are formed naturally the moment you turn into a God! The area or space that you hold the dearest and that you see as your "home" will become your divine realm automatically. You can access it any time by teleporting there, but it still a physical area within the world… even a house could turn into one." Said Fafnir. "You probably already have your Divine Realm, but you have yet to realize where it is! Find it and connect with it through your soul. Divine Realms can expand the internal space of the area you choose by dozens of times, if not hundreds if you grow strong enough! …Now, goodbye, the time is up!"
"W-Wait! I have many things to ask before leaving!"
"GRYAHAHAHA! Let's talk later through the Draconic Records! Don't sweat it, brat!"
And like that, Drake found himself back on his body, after going through a little journey he'll never forget.
"So I really have a father and a mother… I was not just an abandoned egg… Hahaha… I don't know why but… this makes me so happy." Drake couldn't help but smile, as he closed his eyes and slept relaxedly.
