Chapter 80 Returned From The Underworld Part Three

As Akun grappled with the seemingly insurmountable choices before him, a glimmer of inspiration flickered within the recesses of his mind. It was a revelation, a skill that held the potential to unravel the binds of his predicament and secure a future that seemed unattainable just moments ago.

The idea crystallized before him, a path that could allow him to retain his cherished memories, return to his comrades, elude Xalender's pursuit, safeguard the secret of his †Authority† consumption, and retain the godly power he had already consumed. A sly, cunning grin slowly spread across his face, replacing the earlier panic that had gripped him.

In that transformative moment, Akun felt a surge of newfound resolve. He had discovered a way to navigate this labyrinthine ordeal, and with this cunning plan, he was ready to challenge the fate that had bound him and seize control of his destiny once more.

"System," Akun called out with newfound determination.

[Yes, player,] the system responded.

"The taming skill," he began, his grin growing even wider, "it is capable of skill sharing, right?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Yes, player, the taming skill is capable of skill sharing,] came the reply.

The revelation lit up Akun's eyes as he contemplated his audacious plan. "So, I can share an †Authority† if I tame a god?"

[??]

[Player, the system doesn't understand what you mean by that,] the system responded.

Akun's smug satisfaction was evident as he continued, "Hmm, I guess using it on a god will make it an enslavement skill."

[??]

[Does the player intend to enslave a god?]

Akun's response was unwavering, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. "Yes."

The system's response came swiftly, shedding light on the intricate workings of the skill he had attempted to wield.

[Notice!! Player, Enslavement brings a weakened soul into the domain of a stronger one, imposing its will on it. It is akin to putting a sword in its sheath, with the enslaver being the sheath and the sword being the enslaved target. Using that understanding, what the player just tried to do is akin to forcing a much larger sword into that small sheath, resulting in the sheath breaking.]

Akun's pained gasps and bewildered expression bore witness to the gravity of the situation.

In the midst of the surreal underworld, a fierce determination surged within Akun, fueled by his anger and the dwindling sands of time. His voice, tinged with a newfound resolve, cut through the shadowy abyss as he declared, "There isn't much time left, and I don't care for the power gap or whatever. All I know is... I will be taming a god today."

Xalender, the skeletal deity who had witnessed countless souls pass through his domain, observed the mortal's transformation with a mixture of indifference and curiosity. He had seen countless ambitions crumble beneath the weight of godly power, and he didn't expect much from a mere mortal.

However, an uncanny change began to unfurl within Akun. Though Xalender said nothing, he couldn't deny the subtle shift in the air, a harbinger of impending change.

Amid this transformation, the system's voice echoed in Akun's mind, issuing both a notice and a warning.

[Notice!! The player is using GX-chaos-]

[Warning to the player!! Continuous usage of GX-Chaos- could affect the natural structure of matter around the player!]

[Notice!! Controlled usage is advised.]

Undeterred by the system's cautionary words, Akun tightened his grip on the †Void-Sword-Onos†. His eyes blazed with an unwavering determination as he addressed the system once more, his voice resolute.

"System, again... Activate the taming skill."

With that command, multiple chains erupted from Akun's very body, an intricate web of ethereal links that coiled and danced with otherworldly grace. Xalender, sensing the impending threat, moved to intercept one of these chains with his skeletal hand, but as he grasped it, another chain swiftly ensnared the same hand, rendering his attempts futile.

The dance of power and will had begun anew in the depths of the underworld, and Akun, fueled by his determination and a newfound force, was determined to tame a god.
