Chapter 321 - Aamzing New Skills! And Meeting The World's Core!
-----
Noah gained two Skills by connecting his soul with God, which seemed packed with new abilities.
He decided to not waste any more time and checked both.
…
[Divine Connection: God of Earth (SSS)]
A Divine Connection with the God of Earth brings the user with a great amount of new Divine Power.
Through the connection with God, the user is capable of using the power of God to a small amount. But because this power doesn\'t truly belong to the user permanently, it can only be used temporarily.
Bring forth a part of the power of the God of Earth, enhancing all your Parameters by 1000%, while giving you the ability to ignore 50% of the foe\'s defenses. This enhancement is temporal, but can be extended if more energy is spent. However, the user will grow more and more tired by overusing this power.
…
[Divine Energy Usage (SSS)]
Through your connection with a divine entity, you can employ their powerful divine essence, divine energy, to enhance your Skills, Abilities, and more.
By using this powerful Divine Energy, you can increase the power of all Skills or Abilities conjured using it by 500%, however, Divine Energy is tiresome to use in a mortal\'s soul and body, overuse of this power might bring a temporal reduction to the user\'s stats and great exhaustion.
…
The power of these Skills seemed fascinating to Noah, his eyes flashed with amusement. If he were to merge these amazing powerups with his power Abilities, he would clearly be capable of overwhelming even beings above his own Realm!
Fantastic! This was the only word that could describe this amazing duo of Skills!
Noah then decided to check his stats, and see if they had changed.
…

…
His stats had indeed increased a bit, it seems that not completely reach X-Rank 3/3 yet… but it seems that it was closer to it. His stats didn\'t increase so much because this was the most it could add to him without making him suffer great drawbacks that might cause permanent damage. This is why the two new Skills were here, to give him a greater extent of this borrowed divine power.
Noah noticed that his soul had advanced into a new Realm, the Divine Soul Core Enlargement Realm, and he could clearly feel it as the Divine Core within his Soul had increased in size.
With this done, Noah quickly left God for the moment, leaving it as another ally and guardian of the planet whenever invaders were to come and also as a sort of watcher that would oversee if there were any invaders or problems sent by the Watchers.
FLAAAAASH!
Now that Noah was done with this, there was yet another powerup waiting for him, as he reached the surface of the world, he flew into a special area within the planet, the Lechuguilla Cave, which is said to connect to the center of the world…
Well, it is true. The World\'s Core requested Noah to go there and meet the World\'s Core in person! This was the only way for him to acquire the World-Class Treasure and also the title of Guardian of the Planet, it seems.
She had said that she was able to do give this title from a long distance before, but now that she was weakened, she wasn\'t capable of it, so Noah needed to get closer to her.
He flew through the planet and quickly teleported near the area through a clone that was nearby, who had used Kin Summon on him.
Flash!
The clone resembled a small bat made of flesh with a single eye in the middle of its body.
Noah ignored it as he continued to fly through the skies, falling into the surface and then reaching the cave.
He flew through it all, evading the large boulders to not clash on them can cause a mass fall, as he went through the special route that the world\'s core has given to him.
After a few minutes, he crossed through endless beautiful caves, finding a variety of mutated beasts in the way which he mostly ignored.
Noah had always wondered if the planet was hollow inside, and found out that it was the case.
However, this didn\'t mean that there was an ocean and a continent inside like in some fiction stories, no, it was just an enormous hollow cave.
Well, it wasn\'t so hollow.
After an hour and a half, he finally reached his destiny as he found an enormous abyssal sea of slimy and black substance sticking to the immense cave of the hollow planet.
And in the middle of this sea of miasma which had seeped from the surface into the center of the planet, there was a large crystal, the size of several mountains resting, it was pale-green colored, as it gleamed with a beautiful brilliance.
However, the miasma was slowly corroding it as well and seemed to be entangling the core.
"So this I the core of the planet… it looks so big even from so far away…"
Noah crossed through several kilometers above the ocean of miasma, as he was attacked by enormous monsters swimming within this abyssal sea, which he decimated quite easily while trying out his new Skills, all these monsters seemed to be qualified as Mutated Beasts up to S-Rank.
When Chaos finally reached the core of the planet, the soothing voice of the planet\'s core spoke to him.
"Ah… You\'re finally here… Sorry about this, this is the miasma that started the apocalypse," she said.
"Is that so…"
