Chapter 1261 - 502: Stage 7_2
At this moment, Alka coiled within the concentrated Magic Power.
The exaggerated spiral within his body was frantically compressing.
The number of spirals had already reached thousands.
These thousands of spirals compressed against each other to form a group.
In stark contrast to this group of thousands of spirals, a newly born individual spiral appeared outside, like a strand of hair, forming a separate group.
When this spiral was born, Alka officially ascended to the Seventh Stage.
With the completion of the advancement, Alka opened his eyes, and the Meditation Stone above him immediately ceased working.
The storm that had formed was not so easy to disperse, as inertia had already set in.
Seeing this situation, Alka put the Meditation Stone away.
He stretched out his hand, clawed a grip at the air.
In an instant, the original rotating storm shattered, the force of the wind dispersed under Alka’s control, and suddenly the sky cleared after the rain.
Only raindrops falling from the sky remained.
The lightning caused by the collision of gathered clouds was dispersed by Alka.
As the exaggerated waves of surrounding spirals prepared to crash down, Alka again stretched out his hands as if pushing open doors.
The waves instantly calmed under Alka’s control, slowly merging into the sea surface.
The surrounding sea level instantly rose, maintaining their height at the same level as the surroundings.
Sunlight shone through.
Now only the clouds gathered overhead remained, indicating what the landscape here had been like earlier.
Ulu Liwus fluttered its crystalline wings across the sky.
In an instant, the clouds vanished, leaving a clear blue sky overhead.
From Alka’s completion of ascension to the dissipation of the storm and clearing skies, only a minute had passed.
Ascending to the Seventh Stage, although not as dramatically enhanced as advancing to even-numbered stages, still indicated the immense increase in Alka’s strength.
He was already able to flatten natural disasters through the power of Treasures.
"I... can’t feel your power fluctuation?" Chadite looked at Alka in front of her and couldn’t help but speak.
In her perception, Alka now seemed like a regular person, utterly unbelievable as a Seventh Stage powerhouse.
Upon hearing this, Alka smiled and said, "Having departed from the Sixth Stage and ascended to the Seventh Stage, while the overall strength improvement isn’t dramatic, the control over oneself has nearly reached its peak.
Now, even without deliberately controlling, I can completely contain my power... just like the inherent characteristics of Treasures."
Alka spoke of his transformation.
To put it simply, ascending from Sixth Stage to Seventh Stage brings improved mastery over every part of the body, including the control over Treasures.
Right in front of everyone, Alka clenched his fist, then extended his right hand, striking heavily at the air.
The sound of shattering, like a Mirror breaking, resounded, cracks appeared in the air.
Alka’s punch actually struck space, creating cracks in the space.
Everyone could see this wasn’t an attack caused using Magic Power, after all, Alka possessed a Space Attribute Treasure. But this was Alka demonstrating the power of Treasures solely with his physical strength.
Achieved without the precondition of Magic Power.
"It’s like... it’s like a Divine Being!" Simon murmured, providing a somewhat accurate category.
Divine Being.
The greatest characteristic of Divine Beings is their inherent Divinity, which means they are born with Treasures.
This represents the ability of Treasures, integrating like an instinct into their bodies.
This is exhibited by both Ulu Liwus and later, Lucilia’s body, created through fusion by means.
That is, they can utilize power similar to Treasures solely by their physical bodies without needing Magic Power.
For instance, the power of Ulu Liwus crystal is the Authority inherently carried by the Crystal Dragon.
For example, Lucilia’s new body, the crimson Element ability and the power to copy and distribute strength to subordinates, seemed innate.
No need for Magic Power consumption, even if Magic Power is depleted or self-faints, it cannot impede the fading of strength.
Hearing Simon’s analogy, Alka nodded with a smile.
"Indeed... reaching the Seventh Stage, Treasures seem like an extension of one’s arms, as if blending into one’s instinct."
Saying this, Alka raised his arms, and the seawater on both sides of the ship surged upward like extending arms.
Alka swung his arms, and the gigantic streams of water forming arms followed the motion.
Suddenly, Alka’s hands formed claws, grasping forward. The giant water streams immediately turned into icy claws, slamming into the sea surface.
Though this appeared normal without any peculiar display of power, everyone clearly understood.
That Alka’s performance was overly relaxed, using abilities instinctively, without the delay typical of previous practices.
The impression given is one of fluency, like directing with one’s arm.
Though the improvement seemed modest, the convenience in battle and usage has increased to an unknowable degree. Furthermore, it demonstrates enhanced control, allowing greater exhibition of Treasure’s uses.
