Michael didn’t waste any time organizing the Super Awakened and Divine Subordinates. He listened to the reports of the Super Awakened and made several mental notes about their fight in the Divine Academy, their actions, strengths, and weaknesses. Of course, Michael couldn’t observe everyone across the entire planet, but his senses and Slipstream’s range of control helped Michael locate some major weaknesses.
Even with six or more Soultrait Symbols, the Super Awakened weren’t omnipotent. Their combat prowess was higher than the norm, but even Micahel didn’t think of himself as a jack of all trades. By accepting a wide variety of Soultrait Symbols, Michael was not ‘perfect’ at anything. Though, if he was honest with himself, Michael was satisfied with his choice of SOultraits.

They suited each other well and created dozens of powerful combinations. However, Michael pursued something else with the Super Awakened. He hoped they would be ‘perfect’ at whatever they desired the most. Of course, they would have to be compatible with whatever they desired, but the combination of compatibility and desire made it easier to attain enlightenment. Michael experimented a lot with the Super Awakened but also asked them what they desired. Some hoped to become multitalented like Michael, while others wished to focus the other Soultrait Symbols around their Core Soultrait. That was something Kaleb and Frederik did. Their powers didn’t ‘change’ a lot, but their main powers grew stronger. Sometimes, their attacks didn’t look different from when they were Lesser Lifeforms because they didn’t. The biggest change is the power level and mastery of their old powers.
Michael established several teams for the Super Awakened. He made sure their powers and personalities were compatible, which would make future battles much easier.
Once the Super Awakened teams had been established, Michael left them to train with each other for a week. The following week, Michael stayed with the Divine Subordinates. He collected the corpses of the enemies they’d killed and spread the Divine Subordinates across the Supreme Human Alliance’s defensive lines. They weren’t in small groups but instead put into groups of 30-50 Divine Subordinates. That way, they could wreak havoc wherever they went.
It was fun to teleport the Divine Subordinates around every other day, but using Extraction on the corpses they brought was even better.
Michael didn’t rush anything but never stopped nourishing his soul and infusing more SoulStar Fragments into his other Soultrait Symbols. The process was long and arduous, but the gains were worth every bit of effort. With the support of 600 Divine Subordinates, whom Michael didn’t give any SoulStar Fragments or Soultraits as rewards, and the Super Awakened, who received a small portion of the gains Michael procured from their hunted prey, Michael gained millions of SoulStar Fragments every other day.
At some point, Michael lost count of the SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbols he and his people had acquired from the countless Hyumans they’d slain. There were simply too many enemies, and the SoulStar Fragments mountains were too massive to count. It was more like Michael couldn’t be bothered anymore. Why would he have to count the SoulStar Fragments if he reinvested them into his soul and Soul Sphere a few minutes later?
Even his Aethyr transformed, slowly shapeshifted, and nourished to gain more substance – more Aether – as more SoulStar Fragments entered its system.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Michael became stronger. His Tier might not have improved at all, but his Divinity Seeds had blossomed and were being nourished. They were larger than the Divinities of the other Demi Gods he’d encountered in the last year and certainly several times stronger. Each of them was stronger than the half-formed Divinities of the Demi Gods. That was only obvious because Michael had multiple full-fledged Divinities, while the Demi Gods were on their way to form them. It might take the Demi Gods decades, more likely centuries, to finish their Divinities, whereas Michael didn’t have to do anything. The God Curses had to do all the work, infusing more of their Divinity into Michael. Either they did so intentionally, or they channeled their Divinity through Michael. That would naturally consume bits of their Divinity while the rest would be used to unleash their Divinities’ power into the outside world.
The gains his Divinities made were nothing to scoff at. They were remarkable. Still, Michael was more impressed by the size of his soul and the amount of Soul Power entering his body. He had visited the Origin Expanse quite often in the last dozen months and had to acknowledge the massive efforts and achievements of the Silverfang Tigerfolk and the Forest Elves. They had outdone themselves. But there was more to the increase of his Soul Power.
The amount of Soul Power entering his body might be owed to his subjects’ efforts, but also to the upgrades of his Soultrait Symbols. Each and every Soultrait Symbol in Michael’s Soul Sphere had been upgraded to 9-Star! None of his Soultraits evolved upon upgrading from 8-Star to 9-Star, but their power mutated and evolved. The Soultrait Symbol of Insert, in fact, fused with Extraction. The Extraction Symbol expanded, thus also increasing the size of Fenrir’s Wolf Divinity forming in the Soultrait Symbol, but the Symbol of Insert didn’t disappear entirely. It was replaced by a small object that looked like a levitating runic enchantment. Michael wasn’t quite sure why Insert didn’t disappear after it fused with Extraction or why Extraction didn’t change. It’s name never changed. However, he could not say for sure that Insert was still usable. It was stronger than ever, especially after fusing with Extraction, and Michael’s understanding of its powers skyrocketed. He was certain to unveil more of its powers in the near future.
That could be said about all Soultrait Symbols. None of them had a change in their names, but their powers evolved quite drastically.
Still, there was a difference in the upgrade of the other Soultrait Symbols’ upgrades and the upgrades of Death Call, Primordial Vessel, and Extraction.
“I don’t know if that’s a stupid thought…but is it possible for me to form all of my Soultrait Symbols into Divinities?
Michael sure hoped it would be possible. If he upgraded all of his Soultrait Symbols to 10-Star, which was still something out of his reach, and they could all transform to Divinites, Michael could create a Soul Sphere filled with Divinities. That would be amazing, though Michael felt instinctively that it wouldn’t be this easy.
[While it is true that Demi Gods with powerful Soultrait Symbols – if highly compatible with their persona – have it easier to form a Divinity, you do not need a Soultrait Symbol to form one. Many Gods born with lowly Soultrait Symbols acquired knowledge from other things, such as Laws and Authorities, to form their Divinity. Their mastery, enlightenment, and experiences flow into their Divinity Seed, nourishing it slowly.] Jormungandr explained, and Hel added.
[The knowledge you’ve obtained by fusing and upgrading Soultrait Symbols help you understand the different Laws and Authorities. Still, the ‘aid’ given from the Soultrait Symbols is not enough to acquire a Law or Authority. Not even a 10-Star Godly Soultrait Symbols, though in that case you might actually have a fairly easy time acquiring enough enlightenment to add it to your Divinity Seed.]
Fenrir burst into laughter.
[If you had a Divinity Seed, that is!!!]
Ah right… there was that.
