Chapter 1898: Ranking Up The Demon King Seed
The amount needed to Rank Up my Demon King Seed was fairly cheap at only ten million Ascendancy Law Essence Points.
[Demong King Seed]: [Primordial Sin Of Gluttony: Rank 4 (Demon Duke Rank)]: [0/10.000.000]
Yeah, it was weirdly cheap. I guess it's because I'm supposed to have much less Essence than I do, but well, I accumulate it over time very quickly.
And in those Trials I've also gained quite a lot more from items and whatnot, even eating things, such as Greenwood's Void Clone.
...That guy was really an unexpected surprise to be honest.
"I'll begin infusing the energy then."
I closed my eyes, infusing the Ascendancy Law Essence into the Demon King Heart, which worked the same as Demonic Energy as this Essence already possessed this Energy.
FLUOSH!
I felt the energy rapidly being lost and absorbed by the Demon King Heart.
My heart.
The power of Gluttony began growing larger as a result, encompassing me entirely, alive.
It felt like it was looking for this moment, to devour me.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The bastard.
It absorbed the energy happily, asking for more and more...
Ding!
[You have begun to Rank Up your Demon King Seed!]
[You have exchanged 10.000.000 Ascendancy Law Essence.]
[Your Demon King Seed hungers for more.]
[You have lost 5.000.000 Ascendancy Law Essence!]
[Your Demon King Seed hungers for more.]
"What?!"
[You have lost 5.000.000 Ascendancy Law Essence!]

"Hey, isn't this too much already?!" I complained. "Stop!"
FLUOOOSH!
As I screamed furiously, the darkness became enormous, engulfing my consciousness into another realm within my mind- no, within the Demon King Seed itself.
A world of darkness, with a sky that was always the night, with crimson stars, and a purple moon the shape of an eye.
The floor was fleshy red, and there were seas of chaotic energies constantly clashing against one another.
At the distance of these plains made of flesh and blood, I noticed a massive figure, almost camouflaging amidst the darkness, glaring at me menacingly.
Two crimson eyes were glaring at me, and then several hundred more opened across its shadowy body, its monstrous fleshy being slowly beginning to distort and contort, rapidly taking a larger, more aberrant form.
"Well, there you are, you hungry bastard," I said. "Did you have to eat all that Essence?"
"You had plenty of energy yourself, didn't you, Drake?" he spoke. "And above all... There is a guest here, one that had awakened after a long slumber. So naturally, he had to be feed."
"A guest?" I asked.
"Yes, a guest, Drake."
A voice reverberated through the entire space, as I saw two gigantic snake-like eyes glaring at me from above.
What I believed to be a moon was actually his eye, the other appearing right close to it, as its silhouette was revealed.
A gigantic snake covered with pristine white, gold, and purple scales, its body looked battered, covered on countless scars.
There was only a single head, the other seven were nothing but necks hanging around, already scar-covered, missing their heads.
This is...
"Orochi...?"
"Yes, it is me, my vessel," Orochi said. "With Gluttony here, we've had plenty of time to talk."
I didn't like where this was going, I stepped back almost instinctively.
"We've decided that we share similar goals, to obtain a body of our own," Gluttony said.
"After realizing how strong you've become, independent of the power we give you, we've decided to make... Well, somewhat of an alliance," Orochi smiled.
"Don't take this personally, Drake, but all three of us here want the same thing, a body," said Gluttony.
"My mission to avenge Amaterasu and kill that bastard of Susanoo will be greatly delayed if you prioritize other things," said Orochi. "And as I've noticed, your family is simply too much of a distraction."
"Bastard..." I felt wrath coursing through my very soul. "Hah, well, you were a piece of shit at the end anyways. A giant snake that brought calamity everywhere. I shouldn't had expected anything else from you, right? And to think that for a moment I had pity for you, I thought we could be friends."
"Oh Drake, we can be friends," Orochi said, slowly moving towards me. "You can become my second head. A good offer, yes? I control the body though. But sometimes.. I might let you use it. However, priorities are priorities. Your family, this stupid trial, we're leaving it behind. We're moving to Zipangu. I must grow stronger, regrow my other heads, and kill Susanoo. And there's nothing you can do to stop me."
"And I, as someone that desires to eat your soul and take over your body, very much agreed with his conditions," giggled Gluttony. "There's a fifty percent chance of either of us taking over your body once we consume your soul. So... we'll take it to chance."
"Hah..."
I laughed, smiling back at them, my soul rapidly transforming into my gigantic Dragon King Venerable form, with shiny silver scales encompassing me completely, and golden horns above my head, many arms, tails, and also heads.
"You speak like you already won," I said. "I hate that hypocrisy. My body is mine. And nobody will take it away from me. Now come, both of you at once... It wouldn't be fun otherwise."
"You'll regret your foolishness for not agreeing without a battle, Drake," Orochi laughed. "I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL! SHAAAAHHH!"
"I'LL DEVOUR YOU PIECE BY PIECEEEEE!" Gluttony screamed.
The two massive monsters rushed towards me, even on my largest dragon form, I was still
smaller than them both.
But that didn't matter anyways.
They're underestimating me even after they accepted I've grown very strong independently
of them.
"{Frost Fire Balance}"
FLUOOOSH!
Azure Ice Essence and Crimson Fire Essence spiraled around my chest, rapidly converging as I
glanced at them both.
And then, I released it as the two of them attacked me at the same time.
