Carefully walking in its direction, we reached closer to it, enough for it to notice our presence.

"You think it's alive?" Aarick asked as he observed the dragon with a subtle curiosity. His eyes were more interested in the souls that it was absorbing than the dragon itself.

"It's certainly not dead. Well… if I were to give a name to its condition, then its… near-death condensation?" I spoke as I observed the [Inspect!] and Aarick nodded before he continued.

"That is correct. So? What are you going to do with the dragon? Are we killing it?" he asked as he circled around the dragon. His eyes observed those souls more carefully as he reached near them.

I moved closer to the dragon as I answered him with a question," is that your first instinct? To kill it?"

"Yes," he answered with no hesitation as he reached closer to those souls and began touching them. Hmmm? Touching?

"What are you doing?" I was a bit confused. I thought he was going to absorb them or something…

"I am not cruel enough to absorb souls, barring them from the reincarnation cycle. The Lord of Fate would hunt me down forever if I do that… think little about it," he answered my query as he kept touching those souls.

Meanwhile, I reached close to the dragon, enough to touch its foot. Now that I look at it properly, he really was humongous. Even with most of its body becoming transparent, it was still at least 100 meters tall.

[The System has detected a being comprising Divine Energy and Elemental Energy. Since the Elemental Energy is corrupted, the user is advised to not absorb the energy.]

[Would you like to absorb the Elemental Energy?]

[Would you like to absorb the Divine Energy?]

'Absorb the Divine Energy,' I commanded the System and immediately, a strange energy from the dragon began flowing inside my body at a rapid speed. My eyes looked at the golden coloured energy that seemed to never end.

I think it took about 20 minutes before the process calmed down. I had to use both the [Time Reduction] and the [Advanced Time Manipulation!], to bring it down to only 20 minutes, but it did the thing.

"Hmmm… now isn't this something?" I mumbled as I looked at the status screen.

[You have absorbed Divine Energy!]

'Hmmm… what does Universal Energy do?' I questioned as I observed the new stat along with the extra stats I got previously. Is it something like what Aisha used for her speech?

"Hmmm… you are above the Divine Grade?" Aarick asked, rather surprised as he looked at me. His eyes are trying to look through me. Though he smiled as something clicked in his brain.

"Since we are on Plienthora…." he mumbled in a low voice before he focused on me," hey Michael. Have you ever kept your power hidden just for fun?"

"Sometimes," I answered, as I was most careful with whom to tell or whom not to. Though my answer made him irritated as he sighed before speaking," I guess you haven't."

"All right. Once we are done with the planet here, we will go on a small adventure in the Trione Nebula. A couple of minor planets and a couple of big ones," he spoke enthusiastically as he finished his 'touching,' before moving towards me again.

His eyes were rather observant as he looked at the dragon," since you're done with absorbing his energy? What are you going to do?"

I turned to that dragon as I wondered if I should kill it? Surely there isn't much to do with it, anyway.

"Hmmm. But you won't gain much from killing him either," Aarick added before he touched the dragon's feet before speaking.

"[Resurrect!]"

"Huh? You can do that?" I thought life and death were still a tough concept to bend your head around. Divine powers are rather absurd, aren't they?

"It's a little different from what you may think. Think of it as delaying death by unconventional methods. Hehe… Ain't I so outstanding?" He spoke as he grinned hard enough to make me wanna punch him, but I held back.

It took a few more seconds, but the process became apparent as strange red energy started flowing out of Aarick's hand and began circling the entire dragon. While the process was slow, it was mesmerizing. And thus, it ended before I could even properly gauge the beauty of it.

"Who is it?" a young female voice resounded directly in our heads. The voice was rather weak, but energetic. It was as if an over excited child suffering from a disease spoke out to you. That was the closest comparison I could come up with.

"We are travelers who have stumbled upon this lair," Aarick spoke with slight respect as he observed the dragon. His previous demeanor had vanished as if it had never existed.

"Is that so? But don't you think it's fairly rude to take control over another's soul without even their permission?" the dragon answered as her voice became a bit more serious.
