Chapter 952 Greenwood's Viciousness
-----
Greenwood looked into the projections in shock, as they were quickly turned off. The moment all his mechs were destroyed, including all the hundreds of small drones he spread out everywhere which were caught without even a single one missing by Drake's spear, he ended without any signal to see anything else anymore… unless he used the satellites floating over the world's heaven. But those were still a work-in-progress.
"This is… unbelievable. Just what are those beings?" He wondered, quickly beginning to calculate many things, and taking into consideration other things. Greenwood intelligently connected many dots together and realized some things through theorizing.
"Its most likely still the cause of Unique Skills. But this might be the first time I've ever seen such powerful Unique Skills before… Usually a person is born, with, at most, two Unique Skills. There hasn't been a single person with more than one before." He said, looking into an infographic within his computer-like projection system.
"But out of nowhere, these two appeared… First of all, that damned dragon. He not only can apparently regenerate from any wounds, but he can self-divide, merge divinities and even transform his own divine weapon, which seems to be a self-evolving living weapon. The last time I saw that thing, it wasn't near as strong as it is now…"
Greenwood quickly began to list all of Drake's abilities he speculated could be Unique Skills. At the end, there was an enormously large list.
-Incredible Self-Regeneration of any body part, limbs, and can survive being sliced apart.
-Can turn parts of its body into perfect clones in exchange for body mass and can also reunify them together.
-Can apparently shapeshift parts of its body into very flexible slime, and control each divided part, apparently.
-Possess an incredibly wide variety of elemental affinities and talents, while also being able to merge divinities.
-Has too many Divine Abilities, which is not normal.
-Is capable of instantly devouring and digesting divine materials without repercussions, even the mechs created through Technomancy, and even gain power from them.
-Can make weapons, let them evolve, and develop divine power of their own, and even shapeshift and transform them.
-His Ice Magic was tremendously strong, as if there were no limits to it.
-He had no end to his Mana.
"H-How many abilities does he has?! He's simply too ridiculous…"
Greenwood continued pilling them all up, but they seemed endless… when he did the same with Benladann, she ended having even more than Drake due to how strange she was.
However, within the sharp mind of Oberon, shared with all his Soul Fragments, a spark of inspiration and excitement emerged within Greenwood, as he smiled deviously.
"Could it be…? Finally… Someone born with a Unique Skill that grants… True Immortality?! And… that woman! Is she… could she truly be the prophesied Child of Chaos?!" He muttered, his smile quickly grew wider.
Finally, what Oberon has been waiting for eons, what he, a mere part of the original, even more intelligent, powerful, and malicious Oberon has been waiting for as well as the other fragments!
The true Immortality that Oberon has been seeking this entire time, and then the power to control the ultimate Attribute that can rule over all the others… They were finally here, free for picking! And now that he knew who they were, he wasn't going to stop until he could find them, grab them, extract their powers, and become the one at the pinnacle, and finally, break all boundaries, and go beyond this world.
Because that was his greatest and biggest dream, Oberon, since the beginning of his journey that he always wanted to see what was beyond his world. As he explored every nook and cranny, as he experienced everything that there was to experience for his selfish mind, his only goal was to see beyond that point, and to make of everything in this world his own power and property.
And for such a grandiose goal of immortality and power, he would anything, absolutely anything, to attain it…
"Such wonderful news…" He said with a smile. "Our efforts might be finally rewarded, my fellow siblings."

(Drake's POV)
When things finally ended, Benladann ended exhausted, both her and Miranda quickly separated, as even Miranda turned into her tiny human-like form instead of her usual ice giant form, which was less energy consuming, apparently. Meanwhile, Benladann went to her normal ice giant form, but seemed very exhausted.
I gently held both of them on my large dragon hands, and flew below, making sure there wasn't anything else following us around. It appears that we successfully fended off the threat of Oberon for now. The bastard, however, might come back any time. We won't be able to be safe unless we reach my Divine Realm.
"Phew… I am tired…" Sighed Benladann. "But I am happy we made that idiot scream in shock…"
"Hahah… Yeah, it felt good." I agreed.
"Err… you two should still take this a bit more seriously…" Miranda said. "You should already know that this guy is like the big final boss!"
"Yeah, yeah, we know, but a good ass kicking once in a while is not bad." Said Benladann.
"And it's not like we really even fought him, we only destroyed his stupid toys. Well, I ate them." I said with a prideful smile.
"Hah, I guess I can't really reason with you two as of now. We can talk this later I suppose, I am very tired." Miranda sighed. "But more importantly, how can you even eat those things, and why did you do that?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? It is because they give a nice amount of divine power when eaten." I said with a smile. "My powers grant me such abilities."
"Oooh… So you were able to gain Divine Power by eating the mechs, like when you gained new Skills and power when eating Mana Cores from monsters?" Benladann wondered.
"Yeah, I never truly lost that power, it simply evolved." I said. "This is a good incentive to go hunt divine beasts. Monsters above Rank 7 are all catalogued as Divine Beasts, if we can find them, defeat them, and eat them, I might gain more Divine Power and grow faster."
I suppose my goal of hunting powerful monsters and devouring them has never truly changed.
