21st Century Necromancer

As Divinity was continuously extracted from the first jar and injected into Audis's body, then drawn out and transferred into Yu Chen's physique, Hiromi Jounouchi's emotions gradually calmed down.

While she was quite dissatisfied with Yu Chen's approach, at such a time, she had to focus entirely on controlling the speed of the Divinity extraction. Any mistake on her part could possibly lead to the erosion of Yu Chen's soul, or even death.

Even though Yu Chen had prepared for resurrection and even had a backup body ready, the erosion of the soul by Divinity was something very difficult for a Necromancer to handle, so Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help being careful.

And during the continuous injection of Divinity, both Audis and Yu Chen were undergoing changes.

Audis, originally a very pretty black cat with glossy fur and the typical muscular body of a feline, was now changing. Its body became more gracefully lined, its limbs filled with more explosive power, and the muscles beneath its fur grew more prominent, making the small cat seem as if it was undergoing a second development.

But this wasn't the greatest change in the little cat; its aura was becoming increasingly divine, like it was no longer just a pet cat but rather a sort of holy and inviolable being.

At the same time, Yu Chen's body, already statue-like and muscular from the class-changing ceremony, was developing even closer to the pinnacle of human perfection. Not just in muscle and form, but his bones were changing too, his height was growing, and the clothes that had fitted him perfectly were now being torn apart, making Yu Chen look as if he was expanding like an inflated balloon.

Yet this expansion was not in an ugly way, but in what for mortals would be the most perfect state possible, leading to a development of his body to the most harmonious and perfection, achieving a balance and zenith of strength and beauty.

This was precisely the effect of Divinity, to make a being filled with Divinity sacred and great, an immortal entity.

However, mortals cannot wield Divinity; presuming to dominate Divinity will only result in one's erosion by Divinity, the loss of self and becoming a Godly Abomination — a monstrosity crafted by the gods.

And this was precisely what Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi had to avoid.

Fortunately, the Power of Faith that transformed this Divinity belonged to Audis, which also contained Yu Chen's Spiritual Imprint; and since Audis was Yu Chen's Magic pet, carrying a Soul shard of his, there was no inherent conflict between it and the Divinity. The only issue was that the little cat couldn't wield Divinity on its own.

But because it was connected to Yu Chen's soul and was his Magic pet, Yu Chen could easily utilize this connection to extract the Divinity from its body and assimilate it into himself, ensuring the small cat wouldn't erode into a monster because of the Divinity.

Truth be told, if Audis became a Godly Abomination, as an ordinary cat by nature, it would probably be the weakest Godly Abomination in the Multiverse.

However, fortunately, everything was proceeding smoothly, until the last trace of purple light from the first cultivation jar was extracted, injected into Audis's body, and then drawn out. The entire ceremony was finally nearing its conclusion.

When the last bit of purple light vanished inside Yu Chen's towering figure, now over two meters tall, his backup body awoke.

"Mr. Chen Yu!" Hiromi Jounouchi, surprised, looked at the cultivation jar for the backup body opened by Yu Chen, hurriedly dropped everything in her hands and ran over to him; she was terrified that something had gone wrong during the transformation process just now.

However, the Yu Chen who awoke from the cultivation jar just smiled at her and held her hand as he sat up, "It's okay, the ceremony was very successful, but I don't want to stay in that body and undergo the transformation by the Underworld Feather Angel, so I transferred to this backup body."

Relieved to hear Yu Chen say this, Hiromi Jounouchi hugged him tightly, "You scared me to death!"

"It's fine, I had everything calculated, how could anything go wrong!" Yu Chen also hugged Hiromi Jounouchi tightly, softly soothing her emotions.

After getting out of the cultivation jar, Yu Chen took a bath and changed into a new set of clothes. Although it was just a backup body, it had been cultivated from his own cells and was no different from his original body.

"So now that Divinity has been injected into you, is the next step to transform into an Underworld Feather Angel?" Hiromi Jounouchi asked Yu Chen, who was eating.

"Yes, but since this is just a backup body, I currently do not have enough power to transform it into an Underworld Feather Angel. This step requires your help, Hiromi," Yu Chen explained between mouthfuls of food to Hiromi Jounouchi, "Theoretically, if I spent a week's time, I could bring this body back to full strength, but since time is limited, you'll have to help me. Once you've transformed my original body into an Underworld Feather Angel, I can return to it, and the whole transformation process will be complete."

"Alright, but the Underworld Feather Angel is the pinnacle of creation by the Necromancy School, I can't promise you that I'll be able to complete the transformation," Hiromi Jounouchi knew that transferring the soul into a backup body required time to recover, so she didn't say much, but she was still unsure and not very confident about how to create an Underworld Feather Angel.

However, since Yu Chen had prepared to do so, he naturally had everything ready, "Don't worry, I've prepared everything, you just need to preside over the ceremony."

"So I'm just a tool person, doing your work for you," Hiromi Jounouchi snorted at Yu Chen, not in a good mood.

"How could you be just a tool person! You are the person I trust the most, Hiromi! Who else can I trust now besides you?" Yu Chen hurridly tried to appease Hiromi Jounouchi.

"But you have an apprentice, right? She is also a Necromancer; why not ask her for help?" Although Hiromi Jounouchi said this, she still asked Yu Chen, "Since you're ready, where's the ritual space? You're not planning to complete the Underworld Feather Angel here, are you?"

"Of course not. The ritual space is at the top of the Mage Tower." After finishing the food on his plate and wiping his mouth, Yu Chen stood up, walked over to the cultivation jar, and looked at his original body that had grown over two meters tall. Feeling the Divinity and power within his flesh, he said to Hiromi Jounouchi, "I've already set up the ritual space there, we just need to take my body there."
