Chapter 583: Becoming Overpowered Overnight.

"Alright, I’ll follow this plan." Damian said.

Even with the dangers involved, he could not deny that he was curious about the Dark Continent. He had heard enough about its resources to know that it was unlike anywhere else in the Underworld. If he could find the mines where the God veins were located, he would no longer have to rely on shipments Amon is mean to send to Velmora. He could simply absorb the veins directly and accelerate his cultivation far more efficiently.

Damian turned his attention toward the Abyssal tree, studying the branches and the faintly glowing pathways that represented the different aspects of his inheritance.

[Abyss Talent Tree Rejuvenation Process: 5.5%]

[Living Arts: 10%]

[Primal Soul: 10%]

[Elder Arts: 10%]

Damian sat down on the dark ground in a cross legged position and began investing his points into Living Arts. The moment he focused his mind on the talent tree, his points began disappearing one after another as the progress climbed.

10... 20... 30... 40... 50... 60... 70... 80... 90... 100%

Ding!

[Name: Abyssal Chains]

[Type: Bind/Drain]

[Description: Host can manifesting abyssal chains that can bind and drain people if their the vitality and demonic force of targets.]

Damian stared at the description for several seconds before frowning deeply. He had already spent a considerable number of points reaching the ability, and for a moment he genuinely wanted to complain about the cost.

However, his frustration faded when he considered the Devil Hands. Those had already proven themselves incredibly effective against powerful opponents, and these chains solved one of their biggest limitations.

"I can’t complain." Damian sighed after a moment.

With the chains, distance would no longer be such a significant barrier, and he would not always have to get close and personal with his enemies just to drain their vitality and demonic force.

He immediately began investing into Primal Soul.

10... 20... 30... 40... 50

Ding!

[Name: Devil Thunder]

[Type: Active]

[Description: The crimson lightning of the harms both the body and soul.]

Damian’s eyes brightened slightly as he read the description. "I finally have a replacement for my soul lantern... This is good." Damian was genuinely happy with the ability.

He had begun feeling that the Soul Lantern was becoming outdated compared to the enemies he was now facing. It had served him well, but after fighting Gods and damaging his own soul in the process, having a stronger ability that could directly attack both body and soul was exactly what he needed.

Without hesitation, Damian continued investing in his Primal Soul.

60... 70... 80... 90... 100%

Ding!

[Name: Devil Storm]

[Type: Active]

[Description: Summons a black storm from which devil thunder can be summoned to provide aerial support.]

Damian sat with his thoughts for a moment and silently stared at the message with a contemplative gaze. The abilities from Primal Soul had already given him two useful combat options in quick succession, and he was beginning to wonder how far the branch could take him.

"Primal soul abilities have been quite good. I’m tempted to keep going." He mumbled.

"Well follow your heart." Abel encouraged from his shoulder.

Damian nodded and began investing more points into his Primal Soul.

110... 120... 130... 140... 150... 160

Nothing happened.

Damian’s expression slowly tightened as another ten points disappeared, followed by another ten, and another ten. Sixty points had already vanished without producing a new ability.

His face became increasingly uncomfortable as he stared at the unchanged talent tree. "I can’t go back now or my 60 points is for nothing."

Letting out a defeated sigh, he kept investing more points.

170... 180... 190... 200

Ding!

[Name: Tribulation Lightning]

[Type: Active]

[Description: Once the Devil Storm is summoned, Tribulation lightning can be called upon, This takes ten minutes to charge, however it’s so powerful it can even damaged a Gods soul if not properly defended against.]

Buzz!

Damian leaned back slightly and rubbed his chin while considering the ability. Ten minutes was an eternity in an ordinary fight, but battles between deities were decided by moments. A single opening could determine who lived and who died, and forcing an enemy to survive ten minutes while he prepared an attack could easily become a liability.

Still, the destructive potential was difficult to ignore.

"Yep, I’ll take it... I can’t be mad." Damian folded quickly.

He had already spent the points, and there was little reason to complain when the resulting ability could potentially cripple a God. If he could create the right circumstances and keep an enemy occupied long enough to charge it, Tribulation Lightning could become one of his strongest weapons.

"That’s two hundred points left. I might as well throw them all into my Elder Art."

Damian immediately shifted his attention toward the third branch and began investing.

10... 20... 30... 40... 50... 60... 70... 80... 90... 100

Ding!

[Name: Black Hole]

[Type: Active]

[Description: Can summon a mini black hole that pulls everyone and everything ]

Damian stared at the message, then slowly looked toward the dark realm surrounding him.

"Okay... Okay... I won’t complain..." Damian mumbled thoughtfully.

The ability was simple, but its potential was obvious. Anything caught within the pull of a black hole would have to fight against an overwhelming force just to remain in place, and Damian immediately began imagining how useful it could become when combined with his other abilities.

He continued without hesitation.

110... 120... 130... 140... 150... 160... 170... 180... 190... 200

The final points disappeared, and another message emerged before him.

[Name: White Hole]

[Type: Active]

[Description: Can create a white hole that repels everyone and everything]

Buzz!

Damian sat there staring at the two abilities with a stressed look. One could drag everything toward a point while the other could violently repel everything away from it. The possibilities were obvious, but so was the price he had paid to obtain them.

"They both cost you a hundred points but I think it’s worth the investment." Abel said.

Damian nodded silently. At this point he did not even care about what it cost him. The Abyssal inheritance had never given him a useless ability to date. Every ability had eventually found a purpose, even if Damian initially questioned its value. It was unlike his Lust inheritance, which occasionally seemed more interested in giving him abilities that resulted in him fighting with Rin.

The updated information appeared before him.

[Abyss Talent Tree Rejuvenation Process: 35%]

[Living Arts: 20%]

[Primal Soul: 30%]

[Elder Arts: 30%]

Damian stared at the remaining points for a moment before Abel glanced at him.

"You still have fifty points. You dont plan to use it?" Abel asked.

Damian rose to his feet and twisted his neck slightly, feeling the familiar pressure of the Abyssal realm settle around him.

"I’ll save it for later. I’ll literally break down crying if I spend fifty points and get nothing." Damian sighed.

Abel chuckled lightly. "Fair."
