Chapter 33: The Divine Ascension
With the victory secured and the remnants of their enemies harvested, the next phase of the Divine Triad's plan was set into motion. The extracted materials, infused with the energy of the defeated entities, were transported to the three castles: Absolute Castle, Umbra Citadel, and Eternis Draconis. These castles, floating atop the Absolute Realm, served as both the fortresses and sanctuaries of the Divine Triad. Now, they would become the crucibles in which their power would be tested and amplified.

Absorption and Ascendancy:
In the grand halls of Absolute Castle, Ashborn stood before a massive altar where the materials were laid out before him. Each essence, every fragment of power, shimmered with potential. His once radiant form now seemed to burn brighter as the cosmic energies of the defeated enemies flowed into his being. With every breath, the power swirled around him, but it was no easy task. The Divine Triad members had known that absorbing such immense energy would take time, as their bodies and souls had to adapt to the foreign powers.
Sung Jin-Woo, in the heart of Umbra Citadel, stood poised in a similar state, drawing in the vastness of the energy. His shadow soldiers, sensing the influx of power, seemed to whisper in awe. With every second that passed, his connection to the shadows grew stronger, his command over the armies ever more formidable.
Meanwhile, Sung Su-Ho sat in the center of Eternis Draconis, surrounded by the raw energy of the extracted materials. The fusion of the Dragon Monarch's power and the remnants of his enemies sent ripples through the universe. As he absorbed the energies, his connection to the essence of the dragons deepened, and a fierce, radiant glow emanated from his dragon form.
The absorption continued for days, each moment feeling like an eternity. The magnitude of power that the Divine Triad now wielded was overwhelming. Yet, they endured, pushing through the strain and tension of absorbing the divine and dark energies.

The Transformation:
Finally, after what seemed like an age, the Divine Triad members finished absorbing the power. The transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Their bodies had expanded, evolved, and were now more powerful than ever before.
1. Ashborn, whose form had already been angelic and divine, now transcended the limits of his previous state. The energy coursing through him manifested in a spectacular transformation. His six wings were no longer enough. His body grew in size, and from his back sprouted five pairs of wings, each one shimmering with divine light and celestial energy. His power surged, reaching an unfathomable peak. His horse, once a mere steed, now glowed with radiant energy as Ashborn transformed it into a majestic Pegasus, the creature's wings beating with the force of a thousand storms.
2. Sung Jin-Woo, the Shadow Monarch, also felt his essence expand, his connection to the shadows deepening to cosmic proportions. His once-dominant shadows were now even more immense and versatile. As his transformation took hold, two majestic feathered wings sprouted from his back, their feathers imbued with shadow and light in a perfect balance. They were the wings of an absolute being—elegant yet deadly. Along with his enhanced power, his ability to control shadows and shadows within shadows had reached new heights.
3. Sung Su-Ho, the Dragon Monarch, had undergone a profound transformation. His dragon form, already powerful beyond measure, had grown even more imposing. Not only did his body swell with new strength, but his dragon wings now featured two small wings above his rear legs, granting him greater speed, agility, and power. His mastery over fire, destruction, and the very essence of dragons was now boundless. His connection to his subjects, the Fiery Dragon Lords, deepened, making him the ultimate sovereign of all dragonkind.

New Abilities:
With their physical transformations came new and terrifying abilities, each member of the Divine Triad now wielding powers that surpassed anything they had known before.
1. Gigantification: The ability to expand their bodies to a colossal size, up to 1,000 times their original size. This power allowed the Divine Triad members to match the might of any creature, whether it be a cosmic entity or an ancient god. With a single thought, they could grow to immense proportions, their size alone enough to strike fear into any foe.
2. Astral Projection: The ability to separate their souls from their physical forms and project their consciousness across vast distances. Whether across the multiverse or into the depths of other realms, the Divine Triad members could now interact with places and beings far beyond their physical reach, enhancing their dominance over the cosmos.
3. Inner Worlds: A rare and profound power, revered in many cultivation realms, now imbued within the Divine Triad. Their souls and bodies contained vast, pocket-like universes—Inner Worlds—which were compressed and contained entire ecosystems, galaxies, and dimensions. These worlds functioned on their own, supporting entire life forms, energies, and even entire realms, all under the control of the Divine Triad.
4. Elemental Creation and Control: The Divine Triad now possessed the ability to create and control all elements, both fundamental and mystical. From fire to lightning, water, winds, storms, gases, and solid objects like metals, soils, and rocks, no element was beyond their grasp. Whether crafting weapons from molten metal, summoning thunderstorms to strike down their enemies, or bending time itself to create elemental miracles, the Divine Triad had become true masters of the multiverse's forces.

A New Era:
As their transformations completed, the Divine Triad stood united in their full power, ready to face any challenge that dared threaten their reign. Their new abilities and forms made them invincible, their will unshakable.
The multiverse, having felt the ripples of their ascension, now trembled under the weight of their might. Their enemies, once formidable, now seemed insignificant in comparison. Yet, the Divine Triad knew that their power, as vast as it had become, was not just for war. They carried within them the responsibility of balance, creation, and protection.
The next chapter of their saga was only just beginning, and they were ready to shape the future in their image.
