God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 20: Sources Of Power



"As we already taught in the last class."

"The cultivation bases of the various myriad races that exist in the God Realm are divided under the four conscious powers cultivated by these races..." The clear feminine voice rang through the white-colored enclosure.

Its source was from none other than a pretty lady dressed in the academy staff's uniform: a golden shirt and an equally white trouser.

Her long golden hair poured down her shoulders, and her clear, bright golden eyes—devoid of pupils—were focused intently on the class as she taught with seriousness and interest.

Golden scales adorned parts of her face, revealing her to be a Mesopotamian Descent, one who carried the bloodline of Tiamat to be exact.

Before her was a small class of about 30 students, all Celestials from various descents.

Their attention was rapt on her, but some couldn't help but glance at the peculiar-looking figure sitting at the front of the class—a young man with snowy white hair, none other than Nolan himself.

Right now, Nolan's attention was unflinching, completely focused on the teacher as her teachings were of utmost importance and not available in his memories.

It meant it was something even the past Nolan didn't know himself.

"The four sources of powers are none other than Divine Essence, used by us Celestial Heirs."

"The second is Mythic Vitality, used by the animals—better known as Spirit Familiars by the Celestial Heirs or simply beasts.."

"Then there is the third source of energy, which is the Titanic Force, used by our greatest enemies, the Titans."

"And lastly, there is the Terror Flux used by the Nightmare creatures..." She explained as Nolan's eyes flashed with a special light.

"So there is not only one source of energy. There are actually four," Nolan thought.

[And you're so special that you can't cultivate the one used by Celestial Heirs, the Divine Essence.]

The system chimed in to mock him a little, but Nolan wasn't the least offended. Instead, a special idea formed in his head.

'If I can't cultivate Divine Essence, then can't I cultivate Titanic Force that belongs to the Titans or cultivate Terror Flux that belongs to the Nightmare creatures?'

The idea bloomed a new light in Nolan's soul, and to him, it seemed like a plausible path.

But he didn't let that divert his attention away and continued listening intently to the teacher's words.

"The Divine Essence controlled by us, Celestial Heirs, is undoubtedly the strongest among all."

"It is a pure source of celestial energy that grants us incredible powers and abilities, allowing us Heavenly Descendants to harness our respective mythological powers."

[It seems you're an exception, though.] The system mocked once more, and Nolan hmphed.

'Can you buzz off and stop mocking me at every point?' Nolan asked.

[Why are you so angry at me as if I'm the only one looking at you mockingly right now?]

The system retorted with a fake tone of sadness as Nolan's eyes flashed, and he looked around the class to see everyone currently staring at him, with some forcing down their laughter.

While the teacher mentioned that Divine Essence helps them harness their mythological power, everyone knew there was an exception, and that was none other than Nolan himself.

He seems to be excluded from that as his Divine Essence actually works against him instead.

'Tch,' Nolan clicked his tongue at the strange stares and muffled laughter before refocusing on the teacher, whose expression remained neutral.

With Nolan being inactive, the mockery and stifled laughter soon calmed down, and the lecture continued.

"The Titanic Force is the second strongest source of energy."

"It is a raw, primal energy that enhances physical strength and durability, embodying the raw power of the Titans—their devastatingly powerful brute power!" She explained, as Nolan's eyes flashed with more interest.

'You said my only advantage is physical strength, right?'

[Yes.]

'Then I have found the best source of power for me—Titanic Force!' Nolan thought, his heart thumping louder.

"The third strongest source of energy is the Terror Flux, used by the Nightmare creatures."

"It is a chaotic energy that enhances the chaotic abilities of the Nightmare creatures."

"And lastly, there is the Mythic Vitality used by the Spirit Familiars."

"It is a unique energy that enhances the mystical and physical abilities of mythological familiars and beasts..." She explained to the class.

"As a Celestial Heir, you're not only to know about the Divine Essence but also about the ones belonging to the other creatures. As the saying goes, a person who knows the strengths of his enemies and his own will win all battles.

Therefore, we will be going through all the special powers, but the first one we will start with will be none other than the Divine Essence.

As you might already know, Divine Essence is our main and primary source of power, and the more it is harnessed, the more powerful our basic abilities become.

And that also means the more power we possess.

But at particular points in our harnessing of Divine Essence, we break through special points that brings out very large disparity in power.

These special points have been marked as the cultivation stages.

The cultivation stages of us Celestial Heirs who possess Divine Essence are a total of 10!

Their order, from lowest to highest, are:

"Firstly, Celestial Initiate."

This is primarily those who have a basic understanding of Divine Essence."

"This is the stage where the majority of you in this class are."

"Some of you are beyond it already, while some aren't there yet..." She called out, and Nolan looked around the class and noticed some people looking at him and stifling their laughter again.

'Here we go again...'

[MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!]
