Michael didn't rush to get used to the upgrade of his two 10-Star Soultraits. Instead, he accepted the changes slowly and moved onward with the improvements granted from each Soultrait.

However, his Soultraits weren't the only things that changed and improved. The Divinities of the three God Curses flushed through him. They were full of vigor and much stronger than Michael had anticipated. Part of it was owed to Godly Faith, but Michael knew the God Curses had been working hard to refine and nourish his Divinities. That was also why the God Curses' Divinities were stronger than the Nature Heart.

The Untamed Jungle was expanding and transforming into a massive region overflowing with life, energy, and divinity, but the God Curses' Divinities were still bitter. But that wasn't a surprise. However, Michael was still not satisfied with the results. Only a few years had passed since he tapped into the power of Primordial Curse, but it felt like they were just getting started. The Primordial Curse and the Everlasting Blessing had not yet been drained.

That being said, Michael continued investing more SoulStar Fragments into his other Soultrait Symbols and Aether. He was not yet done enhancing his powers. If anything, Michael was just getting started.

A similar situation occurred to the Super Awakened. Everyone had grown stronger after the Tekur had been dealt with. The Super Awakened received various benefits and possessed now two or more 8-Star Soultrait Symbols each. At the same time, the number of Super Awakened increased slowly as the Rebels procured more Origin Liquid for Michael's people. He hadn't even asked the Rebels to procure Origin Liquid and had mentioned it only once or twice on the side, but that was enough. More words weren't needed when you had a bunch of gods on your side: Gods willing to do everything in their might to ensure you were growing stronger.

Because that was exactly what they did. The Rebels did their utmost to support him, which included providing as many Origin Liquid droplets as possible. At the same time, Michael procured some stuff from the Thorn Merchandise. He was thankful for their help against the Tekur but didn't expect the transactions with the Thorn Merchandise to deepen any further. That was beyond his expectations, even though it shouldn't have.

Michael had millions of Soultrait Symbols to spare, and the Thorn Merchandise was trustworthy. Michael wasn't worried bout selling Soultraits en masse to the Thorn Merchandise. That was what Michael did. He offered the Thorn Merchandise a few thousand Soultrait Symbols in exchange for enough resources to summon billions of Summons and construct more than a thousand Pentagon Forts. Michael was in need of A LOT of resources. That being said, he couldn't afford to be stingy with the Thorn Merchandise. He chose to be more generous with Thorn Merchandise than he would have been with other organizations, which turned out to be a good decision. His ties with Thorn Merchandise deepened, and it wasn't long before everyone considered Michael and his people to be heavy investors in Thorn Merchandise. That was pretty good since more organizations than expected offered Michael discounts for other resources – resources that were more difficult to procure by Thorn Merchandise for a neat price in bulk.

Michael created a few firm trading routes with big organizations. They had both been challenging and easy to establish. Some aspects had been oddly easy, while others – seemingly easy points – had been a proper challenge to solve.

But since almost every organization had one common enemy to deal with even the challenges turned out as less problematic than Michael had feared.

Everyone hated the Supreme Human Alliance. That was great!

Michael couldn't recall how often everyone's hatred toward the Supreme Human Alliance helped him, but it must have been in the high dozens or hundreds. He stopped counting, but it was always pleasant to listen to complaints and hate speeches about the Supreme Human Alliance.

Uniting strangers with common hatred had never been as easy, result-oriented, and efficient as it had been with every organization when it came to their thoughts of the Supreme Human Alliance.

That was fun, even more so when powerful organizations offered Michael their services when they heard what he had done with the Altors Union's Divine Lifeforms. The Divine Subordinates were reported to have killed three times their numbers at the same rank and hundreds of Divine Hyumans at a higher rank and Tier. They were rumored to be undefeatable at the same rank, but it took years for the Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened to fight the Supreme Human Alliance until everyone realized how much stronger the Super Awakened were.

Still, everyone realized Michael had only 'accepted' the Divine Subordinates. Whereas the Super Awakened were truly his, the Divine Subordinates – if the Altors Union hadn't betrayed him – would have been 'loaned'.

That was something a few organizations wanted. They did not plan betray him, which is why they did nto end up like the Altors Union, but the organizations offered their service of servitute to Micahel in exchange for Soultrait Symbols. That offer was only enticing if the Awakened approaching Michael were Divine Lifeforms, but that was where everything became exciting. The Divine Lifeforms offered their service and were willing to establish a customized Link of Loyalty with Michael – one that didn't restrain them and released them from the link if Michael broke the 'constitution' – and transformed into Divine Subordinates as well.

The Divine Subordinates who had died facing the Tekur Queen and the powerhouses of the Supreme Human Alliance were quickly replaced by even more Divine Awakened. They were also more motivated and didn't hesitate a second when it came to fighting Hyumans for a few decades.

Michael threw the Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened at the Supreme Human Alliance a few months after they obliterated the Tekur. The entire race had been evil, but that wasn't why Michael had been so adamant about giving his people some time off to be with their families, friends, and lovers. Michael was certain his subordinates would continue working hard even though he gave them several months off, which was exactly what they did. They kept working, trying to master their new Soultrait Symbols and the upgraded versions of the Soultraits they had once mastered. At the same time, many business-minded Awakened, including Rebecca and others, paid more attention to the business aspect of being a powerful Awakened in Michael's territory. They'd seen the Thorn Merchandise grow rapidly, expanding faster than one could look as their power skyrocketed from the Soultrait Symbols Michael gave them. Once a few Awakened saw that they requested some aid from Michael to establish their own shops and earn a fortune through their means. Most shops didn't last long because the Awakened realized they were better of with fighting Hyumans but some prevailed and expanded.

Still, most focus returned to the Supreme Human Alliance and the constant battle with Hyumans.

The years passed and almost two decades elapsed since Michael fought the chubby Primal, yet the Supreme Human Alliance was still standing with countless Hyumans fighting their enemies without an ounce of hesitation. They weren't afraid of death. Or so it looked like.

Or maybe…they had been waiting for Michael to show how much they feared him and his people.

Finally, Michael's time to return to the surface of the cosmos had come. The Everlasting Blessing was no more and the Primordial Curse would soon cease to exist.

Bestikal could finally return to his long lost lover after being the final trigger to the biggest changes the universe had ever witnessed.

Michael Fang's rise.
