Monster Integration

"Even your shields won't be able to stand against me, Zaar; soon, they will break, and then I will kill you," said the old snake with a victorious smile on its face.

I only gave it a looked before focusing on the divine energy of the curse element; the divine energy of Grimms is different from the divine energy of the divine crystals, but it is still divine energy against which I have created the defenses.

It is not the only Grimm who could call the divine energy; I have experienced it before, and the strongest Grimm powerhouse in the last epoch of war was also someone who could use divine energy.

My shields have taken the divine energy and processed it, not fully; I have not displayed the formation to fully process it, but they have done the job, and now, it is all coming to me like the flood.

My armor lit up, and all the energy refiners got activated; I have worked hard creating these energy refiners, taking huge inspiration from my own refinement engine.

Now, as the divine energy, it is split across thousands of tiny refiners across my body; they will break the divine energy, separate its harmful element and squeeze whatever useful they can, and store the harmful to expel or research.

'It is quite difficult,' I said, as refiners began to refine the divine energy, and slowly, the refined trickle began to come out, and I sent it back to my shield.

It is still a divine energy of a curse element, but now, enough harmful elements have been strained out of it, and my shields absorbed it without any problem. If it had been any other energy, they would have processed and absorbed it without my help, but divine energy is different.

As the divine energy flowed back into the shields, their light began to dim up, and cracks stopped spreading before they began to heal up.

Seeing that, an expression of shock couldn't help but appear on its face, that it wasn't able to react for a moment.

"It seemed like you have more cards than I had imagined you would have," It said through gritted teeth, and it was angry.

If I had been using the divine energy, I would be too, unlike the normal energy, which one could refine unlimitedly as long as the world has energy; divine energy is different.

It is harnessed through faith or provided by the divine.

I don't know through which way it had harnessed the divine energy, but both ways provided it with a limited amount, not to mention his own body, which acted like a vessel couldn't store a huge amount of it, no matter how suitable it is with it.

Still, I will have to be careful; a small amount of divine energy could cause huge destruction. Even I will die if I am not careful enough.

"I have many cards, old snake; bring out all you have, and I will face it head-on with my shields," I said, and its eyes blazed.

"Don't get cocky, Zaar; the grand viper has just begun, and it will not stop till it swallows you to the bones," said the old snake, and the viper began to glow again, brighter than before.

SHAAARR!

The viper screamed at its command and struck its tail; this time, I had activated all my sensory abilities, but even then, I have barely able to catch the tail of a snake.

BANNNNG!

The tail struck my shields hard, with greater momentum and power than before, and immediately cracks started to form on the shield.

The cracks spread at a much faster speed than before and seeing that, a smile appeared on the old snake's face, but it froze away a second later when it saw the cracks stopped spreading. Despite the powerful attack, they were not even able to cover 9% of the shields, as they had earlier.

It is due to my shields are still processing the divine energy I got earlier, and they are constantly depositing into my shields to power them further.

Not to mention, my shields have got the sample of the energy, and they have changed occurring to it, making them more resilient against the energy. There is also the fact that my clones were slightly able to increase the speed of refining and the defenses against the divine energy with some tweaking.

They are still studying the energy and making changes.

My energies should learn that they need to attack me with everything they have with their strongest attack, without holding anything back, because once I got studied them, it will be much harder for them to kill me, unless they have a considerable difference of strength with me.

BANNNNG BANNNNG BANNNNG

It seemed like the old snake did not want to give me a slightest of break; seeing the cracks begin healing, it commanded the snake to attack again and again, till it break the shields.

With the constant attack, it did not take long for things to get harder.

Crack Crack Crack

In less than five seconds, the cracks have covered 10% of the shields and they are spreading fast with each strike. The immense physical force is cracking the shields, but forcing the cracks more is the divine energy of the curse element, which is accumulating faster and faster into shields.

More divine energy was coming at the shields, that I could process, while my clones are trying hard; the progress they are making is not enough to stop the cracks from spreading.

By the time, the tenth second rolled, the cracks have covered 25% of the shields, when suddenly, a ring of blue energy covered the edges of the shields and immediately, the cracks slow down.

It is defense I had designed; at every 25%, the defenses would reinforced internally to boost the defensive power, but even this boost of defensive power was not able to stop the stop the cracks, it barely slowed down for a few seconds, before viper increase the power of the strike further.

I looked at divine power that is filling my shield; its amount is much lower than energies of Grand Lord, but it is more powerful than it.

If this continued, it would soon reach the stage where it will spill out and that will what truly harm the shields and most importantly me, it is where most divine energy will spill into.

I did not think about my design further and closed my eyes; even with my clone, the shields could operate on their own.

I materialized in my core, before appearing beside the schematic of my armor, especially of refiners; both of my clones are working on it, and I joined them; with three of us working and our connection, we began to work, even faster, but still our speed is slow.

We do have much time, not even a minute; we need to work faster, make those refiners refine the divine energy more efficiently with greater quantity.

Hun!

Only a few seconds had passed when I got the messages from the shield; 50% of it had been cracked, and now a red band appeared on the edges of all shields, and immediately cracks began to slow down, but this time, the old snake, is not willing to give up my shields, even for a moment.

Immediately, the old snake gritted its teeth in rage, and the power behind the viper's strikes increased again.
