The Great Mother's gift was miraculous.
Eren's body underwent a rapid transformation, his stats increasing at an astonishing rate as if he were buffed by hundreds of top-tier potions. His mana core whirled with incredible speed, propelling him further toward the liquid stage of the Expert rank.
When the illusory world ended and Eren found himself back in the sacred ground, he felt his entire being revitalized with newfound vigor, an almost uncontrollable surge of energy coursing through his cells.
Eren experienced a surge of unprecedented vitality coursing through his veins. It was as though his body had been infused with a potent elixir, a force that refused to be contained within him. Every cell in his being pulsated with newfound energy, but along with it came an overwhelming sense of discomfort. Each fiber of his being seemed to ache, burdened by the sheer influx of an intense Life Force.
The pain that accompanied the use of Life Drain in this instance was unlike anything Eren had ever encountered before. The sheer potency of the Life Force contained within the mana sphere surpassed his expectations. It was clear to him that attempting to absorb the entirety of this Life Force through Life Drain alone would be an impossible feat.
Eren's determination burned bright within him as he realized the significance of this opportunity. He understood that he had to seize this gift and make the most of it. With unwavering resolve, his emerald green eyes shimmered as he continued to absorb the potent Life Force contained within the mana sphere.
'No… willpower alone isn't enough. I need to do something else.'
Acknowledging the limitations of his current Ability, Eren swiftly made a crucial decision. Focusing his willpower, he channeled his inner strength to activate another Ability that would aid him in harnessing the Life Force. With a surge of anticipation, he invoked the Ability bestowed upon him by Ken.
Hero's Heart!
As the Hero's Heart Ability coursed through his veins, Eren's heart quickened its pace. The rate of his Life Force absorption accelerated, and his fingers, still embedded within the mana sphere, trembled with newfound energy. The Great Mother encased in her stone statue vessel, displayed a flicker of surprise upon witnessing Eren's activation of Hero's Heart.
Now empowered by the combined forces of Life Drain and Hero's Heart, Eren embarked on a voracious absorption of the Life Force contained within the mana sphere. His heartbeats reverberated like the resounding drums of an Amazonian festival, as the Life Force supplied by Life Drain fueled his body's ascension to new heights. The two Abilities synergized flawlessly, allowing Eren to transcend his mortal limits and absorb the unimaginable amount of Life Force gifted by the goddess.
With each influx of Life Force, Eren's body underwent a relentless process of self-destruction. However, his Active Abilities granted him the means to utilize this destruction as a catalyst for reconstruction. He endured the excruciating cycle of deconstruction and rebuilding, refusing to relinquish even a fraction of the goddess's gift. In his quest for personal growth, Eren remained steadfast, determined to harness the Life Force to elevate his rank and expand his elemental attainments.
Observing Eren's absorption of Nature mana, Life Force, and elemental attainments, the goddess couldn't help but express her disbelief. She had merely intended to test his potential, never expecting him to absorb such a substantial portion of her gift.
She underestimated Eren's resourcefulness, assuming that his mortal limitations would prevent him from fully harnessing the mana and continuously upgrading himself. Little did she know that Eren possessed the means to push past these boundaries under the right circumstances.
As a minute passed, invisible to the four Matriarchs who acted as witnesses, a shining crimson pool of blood formed around Eren due to his body's constant reconstruction. Each drop of Elder Ichor's blood, expelled from his body like an impurity, shimmered with vitality and Life Force. Eren's visage remained concealed within the green light that enveloped the domain, shielding the witnesses from the shocking sight of his self-inflicted wounds. Despite his proximity to the vast reservoir of Life Force and the assistance of two Abilities, his body appeared bloody and repulsive, resembling a demonic fiend.
"Eren, maybe you should stop absorbing the Life Force any further," the Great Mother didn't want to hurt Eren with her gift and decided to intervene. "You will only harm yourself and your path if you keep on…."
"No! Just… just a little more…"
Interrupting the goddess's concern, Eren firmly rejected any suggestion of stopping his absorption. He disregarded the agony of millions of needles stabbing every inch of his body and organs, his speech unwavering. The sense of pain intensified, but Eren proclaimed to himself that he had not yet reached his limit. He continued to absorb the Life Force stored within the mini green star, the demonic runes etched over his Life Drain hands emanating a peculiar light.
In an incredible turn of events, the goddess watched in utter disbelief as Eren deployed his own domain power within her own domain, surpassing her authority over the space surrounding him.
Mark of the Seven Sins: Domain of Gluttony!
Unleashing the power of his demonic Ability, Eren established his own domain within the goddess's domain, driven by his insatiable hunger to devour the gift before him.
"Kekeke. This is more like it," Laughter tainted with a demonic edge escaped Eren's lips, reaching the goddess's ears as he absorbed the energy and concepts from the green star at an unprecedented rate. The deployment of the Gluttony domain allowed him to experience liberation within the goddess's domain, manifesting his elemental attainments and giving birth to diverse elemental phenomena.
Eren's expanding Domain of Gluttony began to clash with the governing force of Anfang's Will, yet surprisingly, the Will accommodated Eren's domain more readily than it did the Great Mother's. This alleviated the burden on the goddess, granting Eren the ability to convert excess Life Force into Pearls of Gluttony. Radiant pearls formed abundantly around him as his body swiftly healed, returning to its pristine state.
Amidst the spectacle, the manifestations of Eren's countless elements peaked, revealing the depths of his all-inclusive path as a one-of-a-kind Ranker. His body adapted to the overwhelming surge of Life Force, and under the influence of the Domain of Gluttony, his devouring and absorption capabilities reached unfathomable levels.
The goddess herself questioned the very fabric of reality as Eren's transformation defied all expectations.
