Chapter 24 - Chapter 23 - A God

As the battle wore on, Odin found it increasingly challenging to take on Vorrak, who was constantly adapting to every move Odin made. Feelings of hopelessness and frustration washed over him; facing an opponent with such remarkable skills was disheartening. During the first ten minutes, Odin can easily defeat Vorrak, but by the twentieth minutes, he began to doubt the worth of his own life.

For the first time, he truly understood what it meant to fight someone who could quickly learn, adapt and adjust in response to his tactics. In contrast, Vorrak viewed the sparring match as a chance to grow and gain experience against a more formidable and seasoned opponent.

As he adapted throughout the fight, Vorrak started using unorthodox techniques that felt instinctual, allowing him to refine and innovate his approach. Meanwhile, Odin was drenched in sweat from the grueling clash, especially considering Vorrak was ten times stronger than when he faced Thor.

It's worth noting that Vorrak's strength came from bonding with humans and animals, rather than from colossal creatures or superhuman beings who could lift hundreds of tons. His partners were ordinary humans capable of lifting about 50 kg and animals that could handle two to ten times their own weight.

His impressive strength was all thanks to the talent multipliers he accumulated. When he first arrived, his strength was around 50 kg. Now, it's reached an incredible 14,478,750 kg, or 14,478.75 tons, due to his connections with various animals and humans, which contributed to his power, and that's without his energy boost enhancement multiplier from Malevith Energy, which could enhance his strength by 100x or more, depending on the output he gives.

He bonded with 41 humans, a Silverback Gorilla, a Titan Python, an Eagle, a Cheetah, and a Panther, all of which helped enhance his abilities. To calculate this, we start by adding the strength of the 41 humans, each contributing 5 kg, along with additional strengths of 25 kg, 50 kg, 2.5 kg, 10 kg, and 15 kg. When combined with his initial strength of 50 kg, that gives a total of 357.5 kg.

Now, we apply the multipliers: 10x, 5x, 5x, 3x, 3x, 3x, 3x, and 2x to this total.

(This is his overall strength, including grip strength)

He achieved an impressive weight of 14,478,750 kg, which translates to 14,478.75 tons. This indicates that before receiving the 10x strength boost from his Stormborn God status, his strength measured just 1,447,875 kg, or 1,447.875 tons and coupled with his energy boost enhancement of 100x. His strength increases to over 1,447,875 tons.

In fact, as the fight continues, Vorrak is rapidly advancing and his strength increases gradually, making him able to slowly pressure against Odin who can lift around 100,000,000 tons.

This positions him to be considerably stronger than Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who can lift over 100,000 tons.

The multipliers he benefits from include Stormborn God (10x), Symbiote Apex (5x), Titans Might (5x), Silverback Dominance (3x), Titan's Clutch (3x), Thunderhoof Titan (3x), Titan Strangler (3x), and Clutch Grappler (3x), respectively.

This suggests that when he previously faced Thor, his opponent was actually stronger, with Vorrak estimating Thor's strength to be approximately 100,000 tons or more.

In terms of Odin, he far surpasses Thor in strength. Based on their battle, Vorrak roughly assessed Odin's power to be 100,000,000 tons, but Odin's vast combat experience and knowledge ultimately gave him the upper hand—although Vorrak managed to close the gap within just 20 minutes of combat.

Vorrak's mystic abilities could potentially amplify his strength by 15 times due to Eternal Sorcery and Elderseer's Flame, without his Malevith Energy enhancement, which fuels his confidence in his quest to conquer the universe. However, the thought of the Celestials reminds him of their immense power, greater than any foe he has faced, including Odin who relies on Odinforce and his Gungnir to confront them.

To have a chance at defeating the Celestials, Vorrak would need to harness considerable strength and magic—something he currently lacks.

For now, he's concentrating on his fight against Odin, where he feels capable of battling at full strength. This marks the second occasion he has fought someone at their maximum, disregarding any potential repercussions of his actions. Meanwhile, Odin, feeling the battle's escalating intensity, strives to keep pace with Vorrak.

As they exchanged blows, the echoes of their strikes resonated throughout Asgard, catching the attention of its citizens and the royal family. They hurried toward the source of the commotion, only to find Vorrak grinning with a triumphant smile, while Odin struggled to match his onslaught. Each hit they landed sent shockwaves rippling through the Royal Family, which included Laussa, Frigga, Thor, and Loki.

The outcome of the battle came swiftly, with Vorrak's sword pressed to Odin's throat, blood oozing out as his tentacles encircled the weapon, eager for a taste of it.

Thor, witnessing his father's loss, couldn't maintain his composure. A wave of shock overwhelmed him. He had always been aware of Odin's immense strength, and watching him fall to Vorrak—who was supposed to be vulnerable to loud sounds—felt absurd. The battle had generated a cacophony rivaling Thor's own thunder.

For Frigga, witnessing her king and husband being defeated was a profound shock. She knew Odin to be the mightiest being in Asgard, wielding Gungnir. He was a figure of unparalleled power within Asgard's domain, able to channel its force through his spear. Seeing him lose felt like something out of a surreal tale—it was simply unbelievable.

Laussa was caught between concern and admiration as she watched the fierce struggle, her blood racing with the intensity of the fight.

Then there was Loki. His thoughts remained a mystery, but his expressions suggested he was worried about his father.

"How? How did you become so strong so fast to take down my dad?" Thor was the first to break the silence, his voice filled with disbelief. He struggled to understand how someone could gain such power in such a short time.

"That's right! You're amazing, Vorrak. You deserve to be my friend!" Laussa cheered, mimicking the clash between Odin and Vorrak while making sound effects of swords and spears colliding.

Frigga, on the other hand, remained silent, consumed by worry and unable to grasp how Vorrak had gained the strength to defeat Odin.

Odin takes a deep breath, his chest rising and falling rhythmically. The battle he fought had been intense, with the sounds of their conflict still resonating throughout the golden corridors of Asgard. A small trickle of blood runs down his neck—evidence that, for the first time in many years, the All-father had faced a true challenge.

"I have fought wars before the eyes of gods and mortals, battles that have determined the destiny of worlds. I have stood firm against enemies that transcend time itself. Yet today, in the presence of my queen, my daughter, and my sons, I have encountered a strength that demands my respect."

Odin steps forward, his expression serious, devoid of arrogance. There is no anger or resentment—only acknowledgment.

"True worth is not found in power alone, but in strength that is guided by will and honor; that is what defines a real warrior. Today, you have unequivocally demonstrated your capabilities."

He raises Gungnir, striking its base against the ground. The halls resonate, not out of anger, but in recognition.

"Let it be proclaimed throughout Asgard and beyond! This individual stands not as an enemy, but as a respected guest! Let the feasts begin, and the halls be opened! For no one who carries such strength and spirit shall walk these lands unwelcomed!"

He then looks to Frigga, Laussa, Thor, and Loki, his expression remaining steady.

"Asgard embraces you—not as an opponent, nor as a stranger—but as one deserving of its halls!"

Once Odin recognized Vorrak as a valued guest worthy of his halls, the training ground radiated a warm golden light, as if a sacred proclamation had been made. This golden glow enveloped Vorrak, revitalizing him completely, and he sensed something awakening within himself.

Special Ability – Devourer's Genesis and Dominion:

As the prompt appeared, Vorrak felt a surge of surprise and energy flowing through him. He realized he was stronger than ever, and his ability to adapt had intensified. It was as if he was transforming into something more potent and primal, as if he were emerging from the dawn of existence itself.

He was taken aback by the thought that proclaiming himself as a key priority and honored guests of Asgard could fundamentally alter his very DNA, turning him into a being of greater power and ancient essence.

With this newfound enhancement, Vorrak couldn't help but feel thrilled, sensing he was nearing his goal of strength and conquest. Given this transformation, he resolved to refrain from interfering with Asgard, as Odin had played a significant role in his evolution toward a god-like state.

"Now, how would you like to be addressed as a God, Vorrak?" Odin inquired, his own power diminishing as he imparted his gift.

"I want to be known as Vorrak, God of Ruinous Dominion. This title captures a deity who wields ultimate authority over destruction and control. 'Ruinous' reflects the inherent nature of bringing chaos, decay, and corruption, while 'Dominion' emphasizes dominance over all that seeks to submit. This title conveys that I am an unstoppable force, ruling through fear and devastation." As he vocalized his divine title, it felt as though the heavens themselves were acknowledging him, enveloping him in an immense wave of Universal Energy that seamlessly transformed into Malevith Energy.

Upon sensing the energy radiating from Vorrak, Odin stepped back, recognizing the emergence of the new God of Ruinous Dominion, a title the universe itself had validated, marking Vorrak's ascension to godhood.

Vorrak, the God of Ruinous Dominion, now embodies an even more fearsome and divine presence. His body is covered in a sleek, black symbiotic skin, smooth yet shifting as if alive. Deep crimson vine-like markings spread across his form, pulsing with an eerie, ruinous energy that hints at his immense power. These markings intertwine with ancient divine symbols, glowing faintly as if channeling the force of forgotten gods.

His eyes burn with an ethereal light, devoid of pupils yet radiating an overwhelming presence that strikes fear into even the mightiest of beings. From his back, long tendrils writhe, not just extensions of his symbiotic nature but manifestations of his dominion over ruin, shifting between liquid darkness and solid form at will.

His physique is imposing, a towering figure of pure strength and destruction, yet refined with the regal poise of an Asgardian deity. The air around him distorts slightly, charged with chaotic yet controlled energy, signaling his power to obliterate and dominate at a mere thought. The battlefield trembles in his wake, as shadows stretch unnaturally, drawn to the abyss that is Vorrak.
