The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion-Chapter 139: Effects Of The Blood Essence
It had been a few hours since those in Damian's presence began trying to collect themselves, struggling to overcome the effects of his charm, an allure that had suddenly received an extreme boost from the blessings of the concept of Beauty, granted by two goddesses.
When Damian received the blessing, everyone around him had been frozen, unable to move, hear, see, or even comprehend what was happening.
As a result, they had no idea what had transpired during that time.
To them, Damian had always been extraordinarily handsome, but then, without warning, he became hundreds of times more charming in an instant, so much so that it was incomprehensible.
And even more disorienting, they had no time to question what was real or not, because they were too focused, completely enraptured by the sheer beauty of his face.
They didn't even realize they were already under the compulsion of his amplified charm.
Later, when Damian consciously reduced the effects of the blessing, suppressing most of its overwhelming impact, even the lingering remnants of that divine beauty made it nearly impossible for the women in the faction to tear their eyes away from him.
He had already been stunning before, an indulgence to the eyes, but now, even with just a trace of the blessing active, he was still dozens of times more handsome than he had been.
One could only imagine the level of beauty he had reached at his full divine peak.
"Hmm... have you guys regained your composure?" Damian asked, looking especially at the girl he had his eyes on, the common elf, Elfie.
Unable to control her emotions, she turned her face away, too embarrassed.
With him staring at her with those neon blue eyes, she felt like she would be sucked into them if she kept looking.
Damian smiled internally at her reaction but then turned his attention back to the others, who finally seemed to have returned to their usual selves, albeit with intimidated expressions still lingering on their faces.
"Oh God, so much happened... I don't even know what my next course of action is," Damian said with a smile before sighing again.
He closed his eyes as his mind began to process the flood of information.

The blessings of the concepts of Wisdom and Knowledge started working together to guide his next decision.
He looked into his spiritual space and found that he still hadn't assimilated the [Blood Essence] he had obtained after devouring the vampires he defeated during the war.
As soon as he willed it, the
[Blood Essence] within his spiritual space surged into his energy stream.
He controlled it as he always had, guiding it toward the location of his energy cores.
There, he began condensing the blood-colored energy into a new energy core, the [Blood Essence Core].
[Your talent [World Tree's Avatar] is taking effect]
[You have gained attunement with the energy known as [Blood Essence]]
[Your talent [Transcendent Harmony] is taking effect]
[Your [Blood Essence] has achieved perfect harmony with the other energies inside you]
[You have created the [Blood Essence Core]]
[Your Blood Essence increased: +50]
Once all the remaining Blood Essence had been stored within the [Blood Essence Core], Damian used his advanced energy control to manipulate the essence and create a circuit between the [Blood Essence Core] and the [Infinity Essence Core], forming a seamless energy stream between them.
As soon as the energy stream was established, the blood essence from the [Blood Essence Core] flooded into the [Infinity Essence Core].
As a result of the blood essence merging with the [Infinity Essence], the effects and capabilities of the [Infinity Essence] were enhanced significantly.
But it didn't stop there.
As soon as the blood essence merged with the [Infinity Essence], all the capabilities and effects unique to the blood essence also became part of the many capabilities and effects of the Infinity Essence.
The [Infinity Essence] was created by merging all the energies Damian possesses.
As a result, this single energy source contains the capabilities and effects of all the different energies he has.
For example, only the energy known as [Mana] can be used for magic, and [Qi] is the only energy that can be used for formations.
The [Infinity Essence], which contains the properties of both, can be used for both magic and formations.
Since the [Infinity Essence] has the capabilities of more than just Mana and Qi, when magic or formations are created using it, they are much more powerful and enhanced than those created with just Mana or Qi.
Now that the blood essence has been merged into the Infinity Essence, all the capabilities of the blood essence have become part of it as well.
[Blood Essence] is a unique energy associated with vampires or beings of the night.
It is this energy that grants them incredible abilities such as immense vitality, rapid regeneration, and access to their powerful bloodline abilities.
Without this energy, vampires cannot use any of their racial or bloodline abilities.
The reason Damian was able to use the Brenlith clan's bloodline ability earlier was because he used the Infinity Essence to do so.
The Infinity Essence can be used anywhere and can serve as a replacement for any type of energy while also producing better results.
Even when Damian used the Infinity Essence for the Brenlith clan's bloodline ability, he achieved far superior results.
Now that [Blood Essence] has been fully merged into the [Infinity Essence], the results of using vampire bloodline abilities should be even more efficient and several times more powerful.
The Blood Essence had many more effects than most knew.
Among vampires, it was well known that their very existence depended on the Blood Essence.
Their life, their procreation, their bloodlines, even the blood coursing through their veins was nothing but a liquified form of it.
The reason they had to drink blood to survive was because of it.
The reason blood was the most important thing to them was because of the Blood Essence.
As soon as the Blood Essence merged with the Infinity Essence, it not only grew stronger, but it also enhanced the Blood Essence itself.
Streaming through his entire being, it began to react with every part of him, and something incredible and incomprehensible began to happen.
Once again, something within Damian began to rise.
[Your Blood Essence has been enhanced significantly due to its reaction with the energy known as Infinity Essence.]
[As a result, the capabilities and effects of the Blood Essence throughout your being have been amplified several times over.]
[Your racial essence as a High Human has begun to react with the Blood Essence inside you. As a result, you have begun to undergo a metamorphosis.]
As soon as this notification appeared in his field of vision, something else began to happen outside his body.
His vision blurred as a whitish-red, cloud-like substance began to seep from his skin, forming a cocoon around his figure.
Even the throne he was sitting on was enveloped by the reddish-white cocoon, under the shocked gazes of the faction members.
[Conditions have been met...]
[The Blood Essence has triggered the process of natural evolution within one of your races: High Human.]
[Your race [High Human] has entered the state of evolution.]
[Estimated time until the evolution is complete: ???]
"What is happening? How is this possible?" Sir Holloway asked, unable to believe his eyes.
Even though he could see it with his own eyes, he couldn't understand what was happening, let alone why or how it was possible.
"What's happening to him?" Elfie asked, clearly concerned for Damian as she watched the cocoon of reddish-white light working its strange effect on him.
"He is... he's evolving... again," Sir Holloway murmured.
He couldn't even think of what to say next. It was too far beyond comprehension.
In fact, he didn't even know why he kept trying to understand anything that involved Damian.
Every time, he failed. He couldn't grasp even a single degree of it.
"Evolving? But... hasn't he already reached the highest evolution possible for a human? He's already a High Human, and a pure one at that!" Shiru asked, baffled by Sir Holloway's words.
"I don't know how, but he's evolving. And as for what he's evolving into, I don't even want to imagine it," Sir Holloway replied.
Meanwhile, in another realm, a gathering of gods and goddesses observed Damian's transformation.
Each one wore a shocked expression as they watched what was unfolding before them.
"This is amazing... a human capable of evolving on his own has appeared? After all these years?" a god asked with a shocked expression.
"Is this the human you've all been talking about?" a goddess asked the group of gods, the same group who had blessed Damian earlier.
"Yes... as you can see, he has more than enough potential to shock even us gods," the goddess Freya said, sighing.
"That should be obvious. He's the mortal capable of being blessed by more than two gods," Hathor, the goddess of love, said with a grin.
There was a limit to how many blessings a being could receive from the gods. E
ach and every blessing counted, and a normal human was only capable of receiving a single blessing from a single god, tied to a single concept.
If someone tried to receive more blessings than their limit, their soul wouldn't be able to handle it, and it would kill them.
But Damian, being Damian, showed no signs of such limits.
In fact, he didn't even show signs of reaching one.
This made the gods who blessed him realize just how powerful his soul truly was.
"Yes, and that's why we're saying it's in our best interest to bless him with all of our concepts," Brahma, the god of creation, said.
