Omega Summoner

"Let us begin." Adrian stated as they were in front of the Tree of Life and Death.

Adrian cannot be inside the guild house for this next part as they needed the natural world. The process of transforming mortal flesh into divine flesh is something that needs the energy of the world or whatever that is according to the Vermillion Bird. The Vermilion Bird told him that the more natural the surroundings are, the better.

"Do you know if this is true?" Adrian asked the Tree of Life and Death.

The Tree of Life and Death did not reply as it seems that it has yet to awaken from its slumber. The Tree of Life and Death is currently supporting most of the world as the Twin Gods are injured. It is also the reason why Saena is needed more in Avalon than before which is why Adrian only summons her when absolutely needed.

"I am ready, master." Kimat stated.

"Wait! I should at least do something to aid you." Adrian stated as he drew a magic circle on the ground.

The magic circle that Adrian drew was not something that give Kimat a boost or empowers him. It was a magic circle that increased luck and gives protection, but the protection part is vague even for him. Adrian found this magic circle in a book about folk rituals as it had a different language which is why he read it.

The magic circle does not even need to be charged with mana or anything. It was just a drawing of a magic circle, but Adrian thought that this would be fitting. Adrian cannot actively help Kimat in his journey this time which is why he used this folk magic circle. Adrian believes that things in the game are not created just because it can be, but he was just hoping that it will not be useless.

"Please succeed." Adrian thought and prayed as he does not want to lose Kimat.

The Vermillion Bird also told them what might happen to Kimat should he fail. The good news is that there are different levels of punishment depending on the failure. The slightest level of punishment is that Kimat will not fully succeed but manage to make his body into a semi-divine state. This is akin to the status of the demigods, but they are different compared to divine beasts.

The next level of punishment would be Kimat ultimately fails his transformation and his body gets severely injured. He might not be able to try this evolution for another year or until his body fully heals but he is still alive. The worst type of punishment is that Kimat's body and soul will be vaporized.

Adrian does not know what will happen if the worst comes to worst. Adrian and Kimat's soul are tied together which is why he thinks that they will both receive damage. Still, it also meant that Adrian could save Kimat if something really does happen to him.

A powerful roar then woke Adrian from his deep thought as Kimat has started the process. Kimat opened his mouth as powerful thunder clouds suddenly appeared on top of Avalon. Adrian already told the citizens to not be alarmed and not investigate what is happening in the middle island as he is doing something there.

Adrian also told the Daemos Corps members to not bother him and to kill anyone that attempts to go there. He is already preparing for there to be intruders as he knows that there might be some demigods roaming about in Avalon. The Vermillion Bird warned him that there might be beings that take advantage of the process.

The Vermillion Bird pointed out an example that a demigod can suddenly barge in and absorb all the energy that Kimat is supposed to intake. This is not a known process but demigods that are sensitive to powerful natural energy would want to attain it should they feel it. The Vermillion Bird has seen a lot of would-be divine beasts getting killed defenselessly while the power they funneled was stolen by immortals.

It is not just immortals that can do this as mortals can also kill the beast attempting transformation. This is akin to a divine tribulation which will transform the body of a being into another composition. A lot of people have been blinded by greed to possess great power and they did not care if the beast dies in the process of their ascension. The Vermillion Bird was extremely sad when it told Adrian about this, but such is the way of nature.

The dark clouds on top of Avalon were full of power but it was more natural than magical. The clouds suddenly rumbled as Kimat roared which is heard all throughout Avalon. The roar was a message that he was to start and a threat to those that have sinister intentions.

As soon as Kimat roared, a powerful lightning bolt suddenly came down from the clouds. Kimat endured and absorbed the energy from the lightning as this is the way he can transform his mortal body. Kimat needs his body to be tempered by the power of natural lightning. Adrian stopped himself from suddenly putting up a barrier to protect Kimat as he needs to do this without help.

All Adrian can do is protect him from any external sources of trouble. It is not just Adrian that will keep watch as all his soulbounds are situated around Kimat. They would immediately be able to react once they see any type of threat that comes their way. They would not let anything get in the way of their brother.

The rain of lightning continued on but there was actually an hour interval per bolt. This made it clear that Kimat can recover some of his stamina. Adrian could clearly see that Kimat is struggling a bit even though he can devour lightning. He could feel that the lightning coming down from the clouds was vastly different from lightning being discharged by other beings.

Kimat can devour lightning from other beings as they were already processed and stripped out of their raw form. The lightning that is coming down towards Kimat is the purest and rawest form of lightning that the world can conjure. This is like being hit by a large ice ball instead of a water balloon.

It is not just Adrian that is watching Kimat's divine body transformation as some gods have become intrigued. The one that is most intrigued is the High God Aeolus as he can feel that Kimat is being bombarded with such pure lightning energy. The blessing that the High God Aeolus has given Kimat is not ordinary as it is like a blessing to be his representative in the mortal realm.

In exchange for such a boost from his blessing, Kimat can be monitored by the High God Aelous whenever he is in the mortal realm. He might have some difficulty if they are in other dimension, but he can still sense him to give some messages. The only time the High God Aeolus cannot interact with Kimat is when he is inside Adrian's soul chamber.

"What is Champion Equinox doing? Is he punishing his pet?" The High God Aeolus muttered as he can also feel the pain that Kimat is enduring.

Kimat could feel that the lightning hitting him was not something that he could have survived if he did not get prepared. The Storm Bringer Core was helping him regulate the energy that needs to be processed. The Blessing of the High God Aeolus was shielding him from the terrible aftereffects as well.

All the troubles that Adrian did earlier was a step to make it easier for Kimat. Kimat knows this which is why he is incredibly thankful that he found such master. He knew that it might have been his dumb luck to be captured that day by his current master.

The lightning bolts did not stop until night came as it was even fiercer during that time. The lightning bolts also became more frequent as it came every thirty minutes after the initial eight hours. The interval then switched to every fifteen minutes after the next eight hours. Kimat could be seen struggling a bit but there were changes in his body.

Adrian could not just feel the changes but also see it as Kimat's body now has a glow. It is not an ordinary glow that is given off by light bouncing off his fur, but he was the one shining. Adrian is familiar with this glow as all divine beasts have this innate glow as Saena has it as well. Saena's glow is more light gold while the glow on Kimat's body is silvery.

The dark clouds above are also getting scarce which meant that the end of the process is near. Adrian is about to smile when the large thunder cloud suddenly morphed itself into the last streak of lightning that is supposed to hit Kimat.

"Kimat!" Adrian shouted but the area was dyed with a very bright light that made him close his eyes.
