Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent

About in a grand towering palace within the capital city of the great emperotus empire. An enormous silver statue standing at the height of 100m stood there silently in front of a vast entrance.

An entrance that was all around it was carved in with numerous jewelry and diamond. Added with the glowing runic words inserted on each pillar.

In front of the gate are nothing more but an open field. Filled with scattered swords of different types and shapes. But one thing to be taken notice of was that all of these swords were jabbed deeply into the dark shiny floor.

Rhyming around it ripples of energy.

The clouds above shaped a horrifying spiraling vortex with the colors red and dark intertwined in the middle.

suddenly...

*rumbles* *rumbles* *rumbles*

The giant human-like statue emptied his silver eyes as the floor beneath it began to quiver uncontrollably.

*GISHHH*

*Boom!*

The giant gradually took one step ahead with his right leg. The ground shuddered under the shock of his feet but the floor doesn't seem to be affected by it. As if the weight that this giant foot held up couldn't put even a tiny dent on it.

*Gisss*

"The seventh prince had died... I will have to make a trip towards the old continent to take his body back."

The same gaseous sound sizzled once again from the giant mouth as in the next second the silver giant began to speak in an ancient heavy voice.

He unhurriedly tilted his gaze towards the cloudy sky with his two glowing silver eyes.

*Flaps!* *Flaps!*

Abruptly... a giant pair of silver wings materialized on his back that doubled his size. Circulating its radiance apart all around the dark opening field.

"What a pity... the only son of the second Emperor had died."

The silver giant slowly drifted above as eventually, he faded away into the sky. Hidden away by the thick and murky clouds.

Back to where Hiro was where 10 days had departed by...

"Ding congratulations to the host for completing the next evolution lineage"

The same motionless voice reverberated within Hiro's mind as he was currently snoozing with his back flat on the cold crystalline floor. It was still the same as before. The massive crater in the middle and those scattered small holes all around the place.

"Mhmm?... "

"That's good to hear... now that my evolution had been completed. I can move on to my next agenda"

He muttered to himself while swirling his big tail around at the back. At first, he refrained from doing so... but after a while, he gradually got used to it since it felt comfortable.

Though from other's perspectives it would look extremely odd and horrifying.

"System... bring out my panel"

"Ding"

Evolution points needed for the next evolution: 10000000

"... As expected... the required amount of points for my next evolution raised 100 times from before. But the good thing is that I had grown larger now. 140 meters? tch tch not bad."

"Oh well... It may take months to collect but who cares. I got time to spare..."

He muttered to himself while mulling over something within his mind.

"What's with that maximum word at the end of these skills? Is it the limitations of how far can these skills go?"

Hiro asked with curiosity as he had been pondering about it from the very first time his eyes laid their sight on those words.

"I see... I think it's fair enough to add with that 15%damage resistance. If it were to hit 100% wouldn't I be immune to any attack then?"

"Ding... no host. There will always be a stronger attack out there. This world is limitless. 100% is not the limit"

Hearing this... Hiro was not in the subtlest intimidated. He had always maintained the status of being low-key for most all the time but when action was needed then he will act accordingly. That is of course if the rewards of his actions would be promising.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to go around offending those who are stronger than him just because he needed something from them.

Only act upon those who are weaker than him.

The strong prey on the weak.

"Well... system is the method ready yet?."

Hiro inquired in an unhurried manner while stretching about his body to lessen his muscle stress. His cold emerald eyes peeked around the devastated cavern...

"Ding... yes host the method had been formulated. The easiest way would be for the host to ȧssimilate a large amount of innate energy while the system will help the host body to reconstruct from within. It will be extremely painful but this is the easiest way currently available."

"This?... are you trying to say that I needed to break down my body and then reconstruct it again?"

"Yes, host."

Hearing that... Hiro complemented a little.

Possessing the ability to absorb this crystalline soil would be extremely profitable for him as such he didn't want to miss it. Imagine possessing tens of millions of points or even more.

"Then do it... "

"Ding... yes host, please endure the pain. This system will try to lessen the pain as much as possible. Please refrain from passing out or else the process might fail."

"Yes yes... do it now. I'm not a weakling any longer."

Hiro replied with confidence. He slowly laid his body back down onto the cold crystalline floor while waiting for the system to begin the process.

"Ding... order received... Initiating transformation process from within.

in 3..."

"2..."

*Breathes in*

Hearing the countdown. Hiro quickly breathes in a gush of air while heightening his senses to the fullest.

"It's time"

"1..."

"0.."

Finally, the countdown dropped down to 0...

*SIZZLES!!*

"Arghh.... "

*Gritted teeth*

A large flare of light erupted from Hiro's body... glowing intensely from within his skin seemingly appearing to be translucent and clear from the outside due to the intense light.

He screamed in pain and agony while blood began to seep out from the corner of his eyes.

His distorted roar detonated about across the whole cavern and thus traversed its way up the hole.

Booming the outside world with horrifying cries of agony.

"Arghhh!.... COME ON!!!!"... HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST!!!!!"

He asked in between the roar while beads of sweat began to drip about from his scaly forehead. Mixing with the flowing blood in the corner of his eyes.

"Ding... 3 hours left... please hold onto the pain host. "

"DANG IT! OKEY HURRY IT UP!!!"

"ARGHHH!!!"

Listening to the system response... His heart tightened in discomfort but his determination flooded it away. He slowly closed his eyes while enduring the immense pain that was constantly bombarding his body.

Minutes after minutes passed by and soon a full 1 hour departed away.

Currently, half of his body had been turned into energy while his remaining upper half remained in a solid-state.

He couldn't move his body nor anything else...

other than his mind that was constantly battling to stay conscious. It was extremely hard as he had been occasionally giving in to despair... but what comes next was his determination that kicked his will back up.

2 hours passed by and now... every single part of his body had been altered into dots of light.

One even could see the ever-moving energy particles all around his body forming a large serpent-like figure.

3 hours departed by... his body is no longer visible...

*Cracks* *Cracks* *Cracks*

*Sizzles* *Sizzles*

Presently a large ball of light is constantly revolving in the air. Hovering about while the surrounding crystalline floor began to deform and turned into dots of light... steering their way directly into the ball of light.
