As the onlookers watched the entire tribulation process from the outside, within the gigantic lightning domain, a single person was found in the midst of all that energy.

"Really the powers of the heavens are monstrous" Chris.

Since the beginning of the tribulation Chris realized that the intensity would be greater than what he expected, if it was his previous self, it is very likely that he would die instantly after so many consecutive waves.

But when the first lightning struck the divine spark of lightning that had always remained inert began to respond by devouring the power of the heavens of tribulation, in this process the divine spark of light, they were benefiting from this process indirectly devoured likewise a portion of all the combined power.

Little by little, Chris felt how he was breaking into the mystical realm, his soul, which had remained unstable due to his rebirth, was gradually stabilizing and becoming stronger, making the pain or discomfort he felt before fade little by little.

"Very well I think I should finish this soon since there are only 3 more waves to go"

Chris started to gather the mana from him, but stopped halfway.

(Why don't you fight back, if you don't get rid of these rays the last three waves won't be able to be contained even with the powers of a deity) Agni.

(I agree with the ball of fire because it doesn't end with this) Nerea.

"I had an idea; it is possible to take the power of a natural occurrence and refine it into an elemental essence" Chris asked.

(Elemental essences are special elements that are out of the norm, they can even develop an ego in the process over time, plus they can exist on their own, the lotus of nihility, as well as the dragon king that I believe, are an example of this, refining the lightning calamity is possible, but doing it while advancing is dangerous, I suggest not doing it) Nerea rejected the idea.

"If I go through my advancement process and transfer the heavenly lightning to you, could you refine it for me?" Chris asked.

(We are spirits of water and fire, we don't specialize in lightning, but we could if it's just normal heavenly lightning) Nerea said after considering.

"That's enough as long as I can refine the Heavenly Lightning and give it to Mana with the genesis flame that's enough."

"Why isn't he fighting back" Astrid.

"What happens" Mana.

(Chris aura grows stronger, but if he doesn't dispel the lightning domain that surrounds him, as it is, he won't be able to withstand the last 3 waves) Visia.

Said Visia using telepathy to those present in her group, so that people outside her group would not hear.

"It is better that we withdraw from this place what follows will be dangerous, anyone below the ancient kingdom will die if he is caught" Visia said to those present not as a suggestion but as an order for them to withdraw.

"Wait because we have to go, there are four Eternal beings here, they should be able to protect us from the shock waves that are coming, no" Meiko complained.

Sensing that Chris was not resisting, everyone from a high kingdom agreed to send everyone back to earth and they would stay present in case the worst event happens.

"Wait, you can't keep us away"

Right at that moment, with the powers of four Eternal beings, a fissure in space appeared and sucked all the others back to earth.

"I can't believe he got us out, they're immortal they should be able to repel lightning" Aurora complained.

"Aurora, calm down, even if they are so strong, protecting us and keeping an eye on Chris shouldn't be an easy task, it's better that we withdraw to avoid getting in the way" Lillia tried to calm down the annoying Aurora, although without much result.

"I know, but even so that they take us out like this, you don't feel upset" Aurora.

"I would like to have stayed, but they prefer not to be a burden, besides there are more important things in which we should not interfere" Lillia.

Lillia, Kira, Kaguya, and Beatriz were the only ones who knew of Chris' current level of existence. Seeing as the tribulation only had nine waves is the same as exposing that secret.

On the other hand, all the people who didn't know Chris's secret were divided into two groups, one was the King of Wales, Morgan and Fey, the other group was Meiko, Chloe and Maya.

Even though they could understand the reason for pushing them away since they would be a nuisance, they still felt that there was something more to these actions, although they didn't understand why.

"I really can't understand what Chris is thinking right now" Astrid.

"There must be a reason, but you don't feel that there is something wrong in this situation" Mana.

"What do you mean Mana? I'm not specialized in the power of heaven like you" Astrid.

Whether it was Astrid, Lulu, or Visia all focused on Mana, since Mana was a specialist in using heaven powers, which she had called how rare it was to find a user, so it couldn't be something that was easily passed up.

"Chris's aura stopped growing, but I feel like a lot of the power from the first six waves of lightning is building up inside her." Mana.

"They're saying that she plans to consume this power and then counterattack with it," Visia asked, confused by the unexpected action.

"I'm not sure the power enters his body, cycles and then sends him to an exact spot after those two different energies hold and refine him, but I don't know why he does this or what he's trying to do with the lightning bolts of the universe. heaven" Mana.

Hearing Mana's explanation, no one could understand these actions.

After all no one would be crazy enough to try refining heavenly lightning in a tribulation and make that power their own, as there were better ways to obtain heavenly lightning and refine it into an elemental essence.

"I'm not a specialist in this kind of thing, but they don't think there's something weird that we haven't noticed yet" Visia.

"What a thing Visia" Astrid.

"The tribulation is very calm the first six waves were angry and did not give the slightest feeling of compassion trying to destroy Chris, but now it is very calm as if waiting for the moment to bare his fangs" Visia.

"Wait, this can't be" Mana.

Listening to Visia words, Mana concentrated on feeling the power of the surroundings, the energy of the northern lights that before seemed to spread throughout the cosmos was being compressed again to use all the remaining power.

"Do you think Chris will be able to pass this test?"

Astrid asked upon hearing Mana's explanation of what was happening.

"I'm not sure, but whatever Chris is preparing or thinking of doing I hope he can help him."

"Agni, Nerea, how much longer to finish the refinement" Chris asked.

(We are about to finish, the elemental essences must be assimilated by a person or stored in a special container, we can keep it in our mystical Crystals, but it is not good that they are kept there since with the fierceness of the heavenly rays it could destroy the crystals, if it remains repressed for a long time) Nerea.

Chris had already noticed the tribulation's intentions to accumulate power from him since he was only one step away from breaking into the mystic realm.

He could advance normally and dispel the tribulation, but he needed more time to refine the lightning and at the rate at which the power was accumulated he couldn't finish the refining sooner.

There was only one way for him to withstand both burdens and that was to refine his physical body, the power he got from the divine physique of nihility (nothing) would make the tribulation disappear and that was something he didn't want, since the energy source he used to refine elemental essence would end as a failure.

The power of an asura could fight the tribulation using the powers of destruction and space could fight the tribulation head-on, but if he does that, he won't be able to refine the lightning anymore since the impact of the two powers would counteract each other, so it's not an option you can take either.

But Chris still had the power of the immortal god, these powers did not possess any attack or defense capabilities, but if he could assimilate almost any element allowing him to adsorb heavenly lightning, by using the abilities of the eternal immortal divine physique.

But to achieve this Chris will have to go into a constant state where his body will be destroyed and rebuilt over and over again, this usually should be a slow process that would take between a hundred to two hundred years, but Chris could let the lightning rip apart while He fought putting all his stamina into his regenerative abilities, so his body would be refined, experiencing the destruction and reconstruction of the body hundreds of thousands of times in a matter of minutes, but not everything was good, in the worst case, not only would the refinement fail, but also that the wounds he would have would take years to heal, so this was not a viable option that Chris should take, the odds were so bad, that instead of saying that this was an option, it is more correct to say that it is a bet.
