Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

The others stared at Michael, their eyes narrowed to slits. He killed more than a hundred Undead in a matter of seconds before using Cosmic Stride to teleport into the Undead masses.

Kaleb and others could only hear the commotion from far ahead. They swallowed hard as they realized once again how strong Michael had grown.

"I cannot accept this!" One of the Descendants mumbled.

"We have to catch up to him!" A second declared, only for the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs to flex their muscles and charge the Undead. They resumed the fight against the Undead forces. However, instead of holding back, they used their Soul Techniques and entered combat more aggressively than before.

There was no way they could go back after witnessing Michael defeat the Tier-4 Bone Titan and the bony figure before walking off into the Undead masses like he was on a morning walk.

"I really didn't want to use this yet," Kaleb murmured while lifting his hand.

A large pillar of ice emerged before him. The ice pillar had been manifested with Frozen Nova's power, but Kaleb hadn't accessed Frozen Nova's Soultrait Symbol. Instead, he'd accessed his new Soultrait, Elemental Summon.

Elemental Summon was a 4-Star Soultrait that required an elemental power to summon a creature from another plane. Kaleb possessed a powerful Ice Elemental Soultrait. It was more than enough to summon a powerful creature.

The ice pillar groaned. Cobweb-like cracks spread alongside its surface. They expanded and pushed deeper until the ice pillar shattered.

A line of ice and mist blocked Kaleb's view, but he continued staring ahead, a deadly serious expression plastered on his face. He waved his hand to disperse the ice and mist, revealing a towering figure made of Frozen Nova's ice.

"A Glacier Golem. That's not too bad," Kaleb murmured. He was slightly drained from using Elemental Summon for the first time since he'd obtained it from Michael, but the effect was better than expected.

"Crush them all!" He ordered the Glacier Golem, who looked back to study Kaleb for a few seconds. At last, the Glacier Golem turned around and charged the Undead forces.

His towering, six-meter-tall figure shot across the searing-hot sand and emerged before some Undead Summons. However, instead of slowing down and punching them, the Glacier Golem kicked them fiercely and crushed them to death with his heavy weight.

The rough surface of his body glimmered brightly in the afternoon sun as he continued wreaking havoc. He crushed countless with brute force and never stopped moving. It was almost like his stamina was limitless. The Glacier Golem was just like the Undead.

"You don't have to brag about your Soultrait," Lincoln grumbled, "Did you think that you're the only one who got something from Michael?"

Lincoln's body expanded even further than before. He groaned in pain as loud cracking noises resounded through the proximity. Two horns pierced through his forehead. They expanded and grew into large horns. Lincoln's skin ripped apart. The layers of compressed earth that engulfed his body burst apart for a moment, revealing the shreds of skin and blood that concealed the dark scales Lincoln had grown.

4-Star Draconic Transformation.

That was the Soultrait Symbol Lincoln obtained from Michael. It enhanced his physical strength and resilience even further, transforming his body into a natural fortress. As long as Stone Giant and Draconic Transformation were used together, Lincoln was as strong and durable as an Earth Dragon!

He kicked the ground, shooting a wave of sand in all directions as he shot past the Glacier Golem. He grasped a Giant Ghoul Serpent's tail, lifted it high into the air, and smashed it onto the ground. Lincoln transformed the massive creature into a deadly weapon. He used the Giant Ghoul Serpent to crush the Undead Summons and Awakened next to him. He spun around his axis, hitting dozens of Undead, breaking their bones and crushing some cores in response.

At last, Lincoln released the Giant Ghoul Serpent. He hurled it into another Giant Ghoul Serpent and appeared beside them, his hands transforming into huge claws right before they dug deep into the Giant Ghoul Serpents. Once he reached their cores, he twisted his claw inside their bodies. His claws retracted with their cores in them.

The Giant Ghoul Serpents were not yet dead. They stared at the cores, only for a devilish smile to blossom on Lincoln's face. He crushed their cores, ending the Giant Ghoul Serpents' misery.

Zeke appeared next to Lincoln. He looked at his childhood friend with a wry smile.

"So, we're all using Michael's gift now? Didn't we say we would catch up to him without using his gifts?" Zeke asked, but the hesitation in his voice was apparent.

He didn't want to be left behind, either. If Michael continued growing stronger exponentially, nobody could keep up with him. Zeke's parents were already in trouble because they worried about what would happen once Michael ascended to a Higher Lifeform. Michael's mother was stronger than everyone else. Evalynn Fang could force everyone in the Tritan Alliance to surrender their rightful access to the human Race Achievement Shop.

Evalynn Fang didn't seem attached to the Tritan Alliance. She was likely to leave soon. However, Michael was more attached. He had friends and was likely to return even if he were to leave at some point.

How long would it take for Michael to be stronger than everyone else? Would he force High Society to submit to him?

Kaleb and others said Michael wouldn't force himself upon others, but most Noble households, Supreme Families, and Guilds and Clans didn't think like that. They knew what they would do if they had Michael's power…and that was what worried them the most.

Lincoln and Zeke were told to nourish their relationship with Michael. They were said to reap as many benefits from Michael as long as he recalled they existed. Their parents said Michael would forget them once he left to go with the Nest. Once he returned, Michael would be stronger than ever and force everyone to submit to them. Therefore, they had to ask him for benefits now.

Little did they know that Kaleb, Lincoln, and Zeke had already obtained some Soultraits from Michael. It hadn't been long since Michael gave them the Soultrait Symbols, but they were incredibly useful and suited perfectly to their existing Soultraits and Legacy Arts. It was almost like the Soultrait Symbols had been created for them.

Yet, the descendants had been reluctant to use them right away. They didn't want to rely on Michael's generosity to grow stronger, and they didn't want to tell their families that Michael had already given them Soul Traits.

The moment their relatives found out that Michael gave them something without asking for anything in return, they would go crazy.

However, now that they possess witnessed again how vast the gap between their power and Michael's might is, they cannot hold back anymore.

"Let's just say that Michael allowed us to take a loan and that we possess to pay him back," Zeke murmured, the corner of his lips twitching as he utilized his 4-Star Soultrait, Puppeteer.

The Giant Ghoul Serpents' bodies twitched as countless threads blasted from Zeke's fingers. The threads pierced the Giant Ghoul Serpents' scales and linked to the bodies.

He utilized his Legacy Arts with Eye of Illusion to cast an illusion on two more Giant Ghoul Serpents before he jumped on one of the moving corpses.

"Whatever. We possess to mature stronger. Who cares whether we use Michael's Soultraits or not? Strength is all that matters!"
