21st Century Necromancer

The art of creating Underworld Feather Angels, even for Necromancers, was an extremely precious knowledge. Although Chen Yu had access to this knowledge after his official inauguration, it was only recently that he fully understood and mastered it.

Of course, once he knew this knowledge, he had already devised a plan for himself, aiming to replace his ordinary human body with the body of an Underworld Feather Angel.

Although Chen Yu's body was enhanced during the inauguration ceremony, making his physique far superior to ordinary people, this superiority was still based on an ordinary human template. Compared with Jounouchi Hiromi, who had the Dragon Bloodline, his physical strength was clearly much more fragile.

Indeed, as Chen Yu transformed towards becoming Legendary, his body was further strengthened, but this strength was still limited.

It was as if both a mortal and a giant dragon are Legendary. A Legendary mortal merely closes the gap in Life Level with a Legendary Dragon, but in terms of physical strength, humans are still inferior to a Legendary Dragon.

But the Underworld Feather Angel was different—it was a Divine Creature, above Legendary, standing between deities and mortals, an existence capable of slaying dragons in a duel.

"So this is your plan? You're intending to use the Power of Faith collected by Xiao Lan and the others, transform it into Necromantic Divine Power, infuse it into yourself to condense Divinity, and convert your body into a Divine Body before transforming yourself into an Underworld Feather Angel?" After listening to Chen Yu's explanation of his plan, Jounouchi Hiromi obviously didn't think it would work, "But that's Divinity! You're only Sub-Legendary now. The moment Divinity enters your body, it could erode your consciousness and assimilate your soul. You won't be able to resist the erosion of Divinity! This idea is unworkable!"

However, faced with Jounouchi Hiromi's strong opposition, Chen Yu just smiled, calming her emotions while explaining, "It's not as dangerous as you think, Hiromi. I don't need to use my own consciousness to fight against Divinity, nor do I need to use my soul to resist the erosion of Divinity. During the process of condensing Divinity, I will extract my soul from the body, and after I transform my body into an Underworld Feather Angel, I will then return my soul to the body. That way, I can avoid the impact and erosion of Divinity."

"It sounds so easy! Once you've turned your body into an Underworld Feather Angel, your body will still be filled with Divinity that has fused with your flesh and blood. Your soul won't be able to control your body, and you'll still be subjected to the erosion of Divinity!" Although Chen Yu's method could avoid soul erosion during the condensation of Divinity, it obviously could not prevent the conflict that would arise when his soul returned to the body with Divinity.

"What you're talking about is the Divinity of other deities. What if this Divinity inherently belongs to me? Although it would still hit me, the problem wouldn't be as serious as you imagine." Chen Yu knew he couldn't convince Jounouchi Hiromi with words alone, so he took her to his Mage Tower's laboratory, "I know just talking won't convince you. Take a look at this."

Jounouchi Hiromi looked into the laboratory, following Chen Yu's direction, and saw a huge cultivation tank erected inside. Within the tank, there was a cluster of light sparkling with extremely brilliant purple radiance.

The light merged all the colors of the human world, yet without appearing chaotic or conflicting, everything so harmonious and beautiful, like the most wonderful light in the world, making anyone who saw it willingly adore and worship it.

In the midst of the light, it seemed to contain endless wisdom and knowledge, causing Jounouchi Hiromi to involuntarily want to reach out and touch, to merge into it, to acquire knowledge she had never felt before.

"Be careful!" Chen Yu grabbed Jounouchi Hiromi's wrist, pulling her back from advancing towards the cultivation tank, "If you touch it now, you might be the one eroded by Divinity, not me."

Jounouchi Hiromi, who was pulled back by Chen Yu, suddenly awakened with alarm, taking a sharp breath before looking at the purple light in the tank with a fear-stricken glance, feeling herself nearly getting drawn into it, and thus hurriedly looked away, daring not to look again.

"Mr. Chen Yu, when did you create such a dangerous thing in the laboratory!" Jounouchi Hiromi could tell that the spot of purple light was Divinity.

"After I got Divinity from Xiao Lan and Audis, I started experimenting," Chen Yu explained, while shutting off the protective shield of the cultivation tank, covering the light emitted by the Divinity to prevent Hiromi from being drawn to it.

Chen Yu, with Jounouchi Hiromi still feeling a lingering fear, walked into the laboratory and showed her the experiment records on the test bench, "At first, I was just trying to condense some Divine Power to study the nature of Divine Power and the changes that occur during the transformation of the Power of Faith. However, during the experimentation, the condensed Divine Power started to aggregate and gradually formed the Divinity you just saw, which changed my direction of research."

"So you just studied Divinity, why would you want to turn yourself into a Divine Creature!" Jounouchi Hiromi could understand Chen Yu's desire to study Divinity; changes in research direction due to unexpected findings in experiments were common. But she didn't understand why Chen Yu wanted to become an Underworld Feather Angel.

Faced with Jounouchi Hiromi's confusion, Chen Yu did not explain but turned the experiment records to the last page for her to see the last experiment he had conducted.

"Divinity Fusion Experiment?" Jounouchi Hiromi read the name of the experiment, her voice full of surprise and uncertainty as she read the content until, after finishing it, she looked incredulously at Chen Yu, "Is this true? Have you really conducted a Divinity Fusion Experiment and determined that it's safe?"

"I can't say it's without problems, but at least the situation you described, of being eroded upon contact, won't happen," Chen Yu reopened the experimental record, flipped to one of the experiments, and explained to Jounouchi Hiromi, "In the process of condensing Divine Power, if I mix in my own Magic Power, I can change the nature of the Divine Power. You should remember the incident when I helped the Little Rice Princess compress the Power of Faith and transform it into Divine Power, giving her Necromantic Divine Power that allowed her to possess Authority over death.

As you can see, the attribute of Magic Power can affect the properties of Divine Power. If I imprint my own Spiritual Imprint within it, this Divine Power is essentially mine. Then, using this Divine Power to condense Divinity, I naturally imprint my mark within this Divinity, allowing me to control it. Although the erosion of Divinity persists, its impact on me is not as intense."
