Theodore picked up the orb left by Jörmungandr, it was surprisingly a beautiful color; pearly white with a tinge of light blue and pink. He checked its status with True Dragon Eyes and smiled at what was revealed to him.
'It's a Status Orb.'
[The Skill 'All Devourer' has been activated.]
Green tendrils rose from the hand that was holding the orb and began surrounding it, eating away at the object until nothing was left.
[You can pick up to three skills belonging to Jörmungandr.]
Another panel appeared in front of him showing a long list of skills that Jörmungandr once had.
'...Now that I think about it, should I've just All Devourered Jörmungandr? Is that different from consuming the Status Orb?'
[Negative.] The System replied for him. [Using the Status Orb only increases the chance of you gaining the target's skills unlike if you were to directly use All Devourer.]
"Thanks, Apophis." Theodore looked up for a moment as if speaking directly to the goddess. He then got back to the task at hand and scanned through his skill options.
Eventually, he decided on these three in particular:
<<Personal Attribute: Deicide
Lvl.MAX
Rank: S
Type: Passive Skill
Cooldown: None.
On Ragnarok, the legendary battle between Jörmungandr and Thor caused heaven and earth to shake from their sheer strength, eventually, both of them would fall but this only shows that despite having the power of gods, the World Serpent can kill even the strongest among them. Gaining this ability will allow you to deal more damage to deities.>>
<<Skill Upgrade: Master of Poison → Master of All Poison
Lvl. 1
Rank: A+
Type: Active Skill
Requirement for Upgrade: Kill 1,000 targets using poison.
Cooldown: 30 Seconds.
When Jörmungandr had emerged from the ocean, its cries spread poison all over the battlefield, the water became deadly and the air was filled with eerie miasma, its poison was so powerful that even the gods couldn't withstand it.>>
<<Skill: Caller of Ragnarok
Lvl. 1
Rank: S
Type: Active Skill
Requirement for Upgrade: Fight and take down a god of thunder.
Cooldown: 7 Days
It'd been told that if Jörmungandr releases its tail, it would spring out of the ocean to face the mighty God of Thunder, signaling the beginning of Ragnarok. With this skill, you can create a battlefield where you and your opponent will be forced into a death battle, neither side can leave until one comes out victorious, once this skill is high enough level, you can revive Ragnarok on a world-wide scale.
Bonus Effect: Any Gate Creature within the skill's vicinity will fight alongside you no matter their level, their main objective will be to kill any living being they come across, excluding you.>>
The first two skills Theodore had already seen during the time when he needed to pick between Lucifer and Jörmungandr, the 'Deicide' skill would be especially useful in this situation since he was going out to fight some gods.
Upgrading his poison skill is great too, he hadn't used it much but he figured that for his upcoming battles he would need to use every petty tricks he could think of. Poison that can kill the gods? He'll take it.
Then there's the last skill that caught his eye: Caller of Ragnarok. While it doesn't seem particularly useful, he can activate it when his opponent tries to run away and secure himself a victory. 'Gods are cunning...This might come in handy.'
