Odyssey of the Blind God

Dissecting the replications of the ability stigmata was a long and tiring process. A network of millions of golden lines, runic constellations, and hieroglyphs of various levels of understanding could be found in every single ability stigma.

The golden network that would cause most people, even Gods, to feel a bad headache just by looking at it, was another reason why Saint Runiciers were required.

However, even Saint Runiciers couldn\'t fully understand every single network of golden lines. Runic constellations and runic armaments had come into existence after a bunch of intelligent men and women imprinted a few individual pieces of the golden network into their minds before they inscribed it onto weapons and tested the effect.

That was how runic armaments came into existence, through the first existence that had ascended godhood. More testing was started with the intention to get a rough understanding of the golden network. Everyone wanted to create the strongest possible Divinity. However, not everyone was capable of understanding the golden network, let alone dissecting it without destroying everything in the process.

That was why the occupation of Runiciers came into existence. At the lower ranks, a Runicier would only study and engrave runic armaments. It merely felt like an occupation to accumulate some wealth and create stronger runic armaments in order to become wealthier and stronger.

However, only at the rank of a Saint Runicier, did the true intentions of the first Runiciers came to light.

Nial understood that the first Runiciers were researchers. They studied the golden networks of abilities and materials with the intention to find out more about them and to create powerful Divinities using the runic constellations.

However, replicating the runic constellations after imprinting them perfectly into their mind was not easy. Everything had to be perfect in order for a runic constellation to generate the desired effect.

That was also the reason why hieroglyphs were still not used. Not even Siegfried, the human Saint Runicier, had begun to study hieroglyphs. They were at a much higher level of understanding than he could fathom just from looking at the golden network. In fact, Siegfried was not even able to imprint the complex network of lines revolving around the hieroglyphs into his mind, and neither could he properly dissect the hieroglyphs to visualize it in his head and replicate it.

Nial, however, learned a lot about hieroglyphs. His studies came from the other side of the Meteorfield and he got to know a lot. That allowed him to understand more than 90% of the information that was dotted down in the golden network.

He could clearly detect where everything was connected, how to dissect the Ability Stigmas and what was required from him in order to create the Cursed Divine Abiltiy he had in mind.

If he didn\'t know what he was doing, he wouldn\'t have collected over a dozen God-ranked materials, extracted their essence after comprehending them in their entirety, and inserted them into his Heart of Darkness.

In fact, without his Heart of Darkness, Nial wouldn\'t even dare to create the Divinity he had in mind. The Heart of Darkness was the perfect object to turn into his Cursed Divinity. After all, it was an endless pit in which he had stored more dark energy than some planets could hold.

It was the perfect lair for his creation!

Dissecting the replications of his ability stigmas required a long time. The golden network of data was simply too vast to swiftly sweep through them. It required time and complete focus. That was something Nial could provide easily.

He had more than enough time and would spend it patiently and thoroughly looking through every single golden network. The information he didn\'t need for the creation of his ability was not thrown away. On the contrary, they were required for the construction of his Divinity.

The materials he chose were not only needed to create his Cursed Divine Ability, but also to create a powerful, well-protected, and efficient Cursed Divinity.

The Cursed Divine Ability was a part of the Cursed Divinity, but it was not the entire Cursed Divinity. The cursed Divinity Nial had in mind was a creation that amplified Nial\'s strength in every possible aspect, using any kind of energy at that. He wanted to use the Cursed Divine Ability he would create in order to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

The Cursed Divine Ability he created was not a powerful Assault-type ability, or a protective-type ability. It was something entirely different, something that only he could create with his special means such as his unique traits and special abilities.

Time passed slowly and everything inside his Heart of Darkness looked like a big mess. Masses of golden lines, runic constellations, and hieroglyphs could be found wherever Nial perceived something, but that was exactly what Nial had planned.

Everything was thoroughly organized and made sense in the mess within his head. Nial had yet to make a single mistake, and he actually didn\'t plan to start doing so right now.

He was not getting impatient and slowly started the assembly process in which he began to engrave various runic constellations and hieroglyphs all over the Heart of Darkness.

While he assembled various pieces of the golden network of runes inside his Heart of Darkness, Nial connected them with the runic constellations and hieroglyphs he engraved outside the Heart of Darkness.

That way, he could use a much larger \'surface\' to engrave runic constellations, and create a much bigger Divinity using the inside and outside of the Heart of Darkness to plaster it with all kinds of runic constellations and hieroglyphs.

Nial spent a lot of time thinking of this and it worked out much better than expected. It was also very time and energy consuming but that was something Nial could accept readily as long as the result were as good as he wanted them to be.

He hoped for the best and didn\'t accept failure.

His life and future were on the line, after all!
