Mezal was immersing himself in the books about Force energy. The concepts taught in the books had changed his perception of what Force energy is and how to use it.
"This is Force energy? No wonder the Lowlands and the Midlands' quality of power is too far apart! This training... If one masters it, it can easily give us a Commander's Potential in terms of Strength and Vitality!" Mezal praised. He recalled the utilization of the Crab Commander, who was undoubtedly the strongest Force user among all of them. His usage of Force energy was so condensed and strong that it was as if the Crab Commander had a body of Force.
"I thought that the Commander had some strange artifact or a constitution that allows him to contain a massive among of his Force energy! But it turns out he's just an expert in wielding and dividing the elements! Force Wall is not a skill but merely a way of wielding Force! That was the basics of his power! But the Lowlands have taken this legacy of Force and thought it was just... mere skill? Force Wall can become something else..." Mezal then took another book. This was the book he had been reading for a day before switching to books about Force energy.
"Soul Energy... I wonder... Is it possible for me to combine the awakened soul power that my father-in-law gave me with Force and with the Ancient Source that is in my blood?" Mezal pondered.
"If my Soul can direct and guide the power that springs out of my Ancient Source, my Force energy, and my Magic energy, then I could create a whole new form of power..." Mezal pondered.
He closed his eyes and began to experiment. Finally, the power of his Soul began to work.
But as Mezal concentrated, no form of power from his soul broke out. Instead, it was like it was bubbling within.
"It won't manifest out of my body... But how did that Shaman do it?" He began to ponder.
"It's because you're not saying the attack name." Calaminus suddenly spoke to Mezal.
"Calaminus? What do you mean by saying the attack name?" Mezal heard Calaminus's call.
"Recall what you saw in your vision of Hyperion and what the vision of Astra revealed. What did they do to manifest the power?"
"They spoke it out. They declared it!"
"Right. Do you know why cultivators call out the names of the attacks? It isn't just some anime cliche material, but even before I created this official system that the gods and fallen eventually followed, the gods and the fallen would fight using their words. Each god is a manifestation of a concept itself. Remember what Branze and Diana reported about their vision? When Fate and Destiny got involved in that battle, they were not allowed to see the vision by old man Histerion. This is because when they speak, things happen."
"So I have to say it?"
"Yes. We call these things, Words of Power. It is a manifestation of what we want to achieve. Now, most cultivators don't need to really say it. You could say that most mortal cultivators only do that out of habit, as this practice was passed down from the gods to mortals. But some cultivators need to do that. Your father-in-law is one type."
"Chanting... He chanted..." Mezal realized what Calaminus meant. Shamans were among the cultivators that would say long phrases to cast out magic. Many magic cultivators also follow the same principle.
"It's actually written in the magic books that the Emberdon's are reading. It explains the source of that power that mages use. Of course, Shamans do chanting, while mages do incantations. Other cultivators use rituals, sacraments, and invocations. When they say these words, they invoke creation and call on the existing things that have been spoken into creation by the Words of Power that gods and fallen have left behind. The Disciplines of Creation, including Alchemy, Enchantments, Blacksmithing, and Energy Conversion Circles, all use the same power source but are applied differently. So if you want to release the power of your soul, you need to-"
"[Soul, come out of my body]!"
"Erm... No. That's now how it works. You can't just say something and make it the Words of Power to manifest... WHAT?! It's already manifesting?! How?!"
The moment Mezal spoke those words, the power of his soul, which only stayed inside, had erupted outside. The eerie power that only the Shaman Commander had shown in this world had manifested around Mezal.
The first to sense it was the Skeletons, the Lich, and the Emberdon Lichess. They felt the power of the Soul and were startled.
"How is he able to do that? We can't even do that!" One of the Skeletons watched in amazement.
Demerus watched as Mezal began to use it.
"It's probably something that only he can do. Not even his monstrous sons can do that. Moving the soul is something mysterious. What we did as Skeletons and Liches is only to empower the Soul and seal it inside our bones. Our souls have locality in our bones, but we can't move it at will. But his magic is similar to Commander Neteri, the Shaman. Yet, we know that this power is not something that everyone can use. Even the Cardinal, who is a Necromancer, cannot wield his own soul but only influence and control others." Demerus explained.
He had seen how the Cardinal fought Kyros with massive explosions that commanded humongous souls.
"So we should not desire such power?" The Lowly Lich asked.
"Right now, no. We improve our power. We can spend time reading that when this battle is over. But for now, we need to gain as much power as we can. That takes time, and we have to focus on the lost art of Magic Wielding!" Demerus ordered.
Diana was also affected by Mezal's display that her concentration was lost.
"Amazing... It's like I'm standing before a god!" Diana exclaimed.
"So that's it... I can see it now..." Branze also opened his eyes.
"See what?"
"The source of dad's power! This is the explanation of how he created turning Force energy into a pseudo-holy element despite the severe curses that sealed the way to cultivate light! The reason why father can wield the light and even teach it to us is because of what grandfather did!"
"Your shaman grandfather? What did he do??"
"Now I understand. Father never talked about the location of grandfather. Now I get it. Grandfather is dead. He did the same thing that the slaves did to increase the power and energy Martha during her battle against the Thane Dragons. Tribute!"
"He sacrificed his life to give father-in-law this power?!"
"Yes! The stories that my father spoke of my shaman grandfather and the stories our mother used to tell us were so exaggerated that we didn't believe it when we grew up. After all, how can such a powerful cultivator die? It wasn't in battle! This is it! He sacrificed his Soul to improve father's power!" Branze could sense the powerful workings of the soul.
With his power in wielding the light, he could sense a strange force around Mezal.
Calaminus was eating his shoe.
"How?!" Calaminus shouted at Kyros.
"What? I'm busy!" Kyros frowned.
"Your grandfather!"
"Why are you cursing in Chinese?"
"No! That's not what I meant! Your grandfather made us some crazy, lame, and downright weird Words of Power, and it worked! He didn't need a shamans chant or any other triggers to activate Words of Power!"
"Eh?" Kyros opened his eyes and took one look at his grandfather, and then closed it.
"He used his Code to cut through it and invoke that power. Don't forget, he is still a descendant of Hyperion and was the one who felt the full slash of Hyperion's attack as he received it inside the vision. It's only normal for his Words of Power to be stronger. For grandfather, he just needs to say what he wants to happen and don't have to say the exact Words of Power to trigger the attack and use his Ancient Source as a trigger to do it. If we keep practicing and all cultivate to a higher level and develop the Codes and Corruption given to us, [Supernova Blast] will become a fast cast attack." Kyros explained.
Calaminus was amazed at Kyros's explanation.
"Now, can you be quiet? I asked you to help the rest and give them tips and advice, not ask one from me. I'm very busy."
"Busy? You were sleeping?"
"No, I wasn't! I was cultivating! I'm done reading all those magical theories and the Word of Power theories that you didn't teach me during my rebirth."
"How was I supposed to know that you freaks could immediately do that?! Not even Celestials study that! Only Saint-level cultivators study it because only they can manipulate its power!"
"And yet you had time to teach me the art of streaking and unrobing." Kyros rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, stop talking to me and let me cultivate."
"You mean to get back to sleep."
Kyros frowned.
"Alright then. Let me show you what I've figured out so far."
"Go ahead, punk."
"[Celestial Gathering]!" Kyros activated the same Words of Power he was asked to speak in his past life after his training with Greater God Daradiel.
BOOM!
The source power that Kyros had during his peak strength began to form.
The entire Temple trembled.
"WHAT?!" Calaminus was shocked.
"Impossible... How?!"
"Astra!" The Emberdons all shouted together.
While they were wrong, Calaminus finally understood how Kyros did it.
"What?! You used the Code of Astra to invoke and borrow the power of Daradiel?!"
"Earth, Wind, and Fire! He is wielding three elements at once?!" The skeletons were amazed.
Kyros had not received it yet, but somehow, Kyros was able to draw out the power that only those who had the Celestial Code could.
The Celestial Code had awakened.
