Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!-Chapter 985 Mind Demon

Kaleb trained with the Super Awakened, he ate with them, and slept by their sides for months. He was one of them, yet Kaleb was having difficulty considering himself a Super Awakened. At least he didn't feel like them. There was no doubt that he was strong. Everyone was aware of that. He had always been powerful. Born with a 7-Star Soultrait, Kaleb had been a powerhouse and would have always been.

However, his life had changed drastically in the last few years. Many memories of the past were missing, and if he was honest with himself…it had been a hard time. Kaleb wanted to deny that sometimes, but his life hadn't been easy since Michael rescued him and Zeke. He was still strong, but Kaleb didn't feel special. Michael was always around them. He was stronger than everyone but didn't show off. Yet, even though Michael never thought about showing off his great power, everyone knew of his capabilities. That was fine, and Kaleb could have overcome the devastating sensation of inferiority. He could have become Michael's friend again, maybe even as close as Michael had always said they had been in the past.

But Michael didn't make his life easy. No, Michael didn't do anything wrong. It was just…difficult watching him unleashing one miracle after another.

Michael Fang was not a mere Divine Lifeform. He controlled a Grand Region and an Intermediate Region, was in control of a Guardian Beast at the 8th Tier, and was in charge of all jungle monsters in the Untamed Jungle. He had a second heart, a Divinity Fragment, that would transform into a proper Divinity at some point, and several God Curses, who could channel their Divinity through Michael and allowed him to copy their Divinities. Michael, barely half a year older than Kaleb, would attain godhood as long as he stayed alive for another century. He didn't even have to do anything and could sit back and relax in the Origin Expanse while everyone else focused on expanding his territories and growing stronger. Even then, Michael would be the strongest. There was no need for him to lift a finger to grow.

Maybe it would have been faster if he had ordered his people to kill some Awakened and bring the corpses to him to extract them for their Soultrait Symbols and SoulStar Fragments, but that was all Michael had to do. Yet, Michael did much more than that. He never stayed idle and charged ahead whenever a powerful enemy appeared before them. Michael was the first to give his utmost and risk sustaining lethal injury as long as that meant he could protect his people.

He was the strongest, yet he never forgot his kindness and generosity. But that made it even more difficult for Kaleb to hate him. He would love to hate him because it would make everything so much easier. Kaleb…wouldn't have to loathe himself for being jealous of Michael, the influence he had on other people, his powers, and the respect and unbreakable loyalty everyone gave him without a second thought.

Even Tiara was dead loyal to him. She was already busy taking care of her race and trying her utmost to give her people everything they needed to grow stronger, but that didn't stop her from being loyal to Michael. Tiara and Michael connected something nothing could replace. No one could replace Michael. Tiara would always consider him the brightest star in the darkest night. He was her everything.

Michael was the reason she regained everything she'd thought to never see again. Because of Michael, Tiara could grow stronger. She stayed by his side, first as his Battle Maid when Michael was still weaker than her, then as partners in the fight against the countless forces attacking them in the Untamed Jungle. At this point, Tiara wasn't his right hand anymore. She was too busy with her people to retain the duty. Still, losing her position as Michael's right hand crushed her. She was not herself anymore for several months.

But that was Michael's decision, and Tiara had to accept it. freewebnøvel.com

'Why is he so perfect? Make him do a mistake or something like that. There is no way Michael is without fault!' Kaleb cursed, watching Michael help the Super Awakened get used to their new Soultrait Symbols.

The fights against the Supreme Human Alliance had yet to start for the Super Awakened, but Michael wasn't in a rush. He wanted to inspect them first to assess their combat prowess. He had to know what enemies they could deal with and what types of enemies were too much.

The assessment didn't take long. Every Super Awakened was strong enough to fight and kill someone an entire Tier above them. The Higher LIfeforms had a hard time dealing with Divine Lifeforms, but most were already close to advancing to Tier-6 or had already advanced to Tier-6 in the first place. That made it much easier to deal with Divine Lifeforms.

Furthermore, Divine Lifeforms didn't take High Awakened seriously in most cases. They would fight them half-heartedly, expecting the High Awakened to die with a simple slap. The Super Awakened were supposed to abuse that until they reached the Mid or Late ranks of Tier-6.

Kaleb was already strong enough to fight a Divine Lifeform but was only one of many. He…wasn't special.

Since he joined Michael's territory, Kaleb had given his utmost to grow stronger and transform into a proper powerhouse… an especially powerful Awakened of Michael's Subordinates. He wouldn't feel so bad to be near Michael all the time then. At least he could pull his weight and be considered a crucial link in Michael's forces.

But Kaleb wasn't alone with that. He was only one of countless hard-working Awakened. He might have had an advantage with 7-Star Frozen Nova and still had an advantage over everyone else, but the gap between him and the other Super Awakened wasn't noteworthy. Some worked even harder than Kaleb.

That irked him almost as much as Michael being his age and on the way to attain godhood. How was that even possible in the first place? Shouldn't it be harder to attain godhood? Well...for most that was a hard thing to do...but for Michael? ...

'I need to grow stronger. I have to become someone useful. Otherwise, will I be able to contribute to the Supreme Human Alliance's destruction? What…if I'm not needed… Why am I even alive then? Michael could have killed me. His effort has to be worth…something.'

Michael had long since noticed the Mind Demons of some Super Awakened. He didn't intervene, but they were obvious. Their Links of Loyalty showed Michael exactly what was going on inside his subjects. Their doubts and worries were imprinted in his mind.

But Michael didn't do anything to help the Super Awakened, who doubted their prowess. Maybe those with inferiority complex could be helped by encouraging them and telling them how great they were but that could backfire as well.

Michael wasn't going to risk that. Instead, he was going to show them how great they were.

The Super Awakened's first fight was about to begin.

The fight against their Mind Demons and the Supreme Human Alliance.
