Neo stared at the screen flashing before his eyes.
[Please choose one unique skill.]
[1. Infinite: Increase your energy reservoir by the power of 2.]
[2. Primogenitor: Allows modification of the direction of the traits, skills, or even physical and magical attributes, to a certain degree, as they evolve and grow.]
[3. Finality: Allows user to use the power of Ultimate End.]
Neo frowned when he saw the options for his Eternal skill evolution.
"Those are... quite surprising options."
His body kept dodging the maggots as he focused on understanding the difference between the skills.
He died, but he didn't pay it any mind and shifted his focus to reading it again when he was revived.
Infinite was the best suited for his current need.
World-Time Spell required a huge amount of energy to activate. Energy he didn't have.
The Infinite Skill would increase his Divine Energy reservoir by the power of 2 at every rank- up.
This increase would be done after his Divine Energy increased naturally due to his rank-up. If he had 2 units of total Divine Energy when he was Grade 5 Empyrean Demigod, he would have a total of 3 units of Divine Energy reservoir at Grade 4.
Then the Infinite skill would activate, and his Divine Energy reservoir would become 9 units at Grade 4.
While other demigods would have only 3 units of Divine Energy reservoir at Grade 4 Empyrean, Neo would have 9 units.
It was a huge difference.
At Grade 3 Empyrean, others' Divine Energy would increase from 3 to 4 units.
Neo's Divine Energy would go from 9 to 10, the Infinite would activate.
He would have 100 units of Divine Energy at Grade 4 Empyrean Demigod thanks to Infinite skill.
The gap between Neo and others would keep increasing with his each rank up.
'When I go up from Grade 5 to Grade 4, the Infinite skill would be upgraded too. That means instead of the increase being a power of 2, it could become a power of 3.'
This was while ignoring the fact Neo had another trait, and Infinite would work on it too. Neo already had a much larger pool of Divine Energy than other demigods.
This skill would strengthen his strong points.
"Insane."
That was all Neo could say.
The degree of evolution of his trait, going from Eternal to the next level, was devastatingly high.
"It must be because of everything I'm going through."
The options for evolution were born out of the demigod's personal experience.
It was obvious Neo, who had gone through hell and worse in the past four decades, would receive powerful unique skills to choose from.
Primogenitor was quite abstract.
It would help him modify the direction of growth of his traits, physical abilities, magic spells. For example, when his Mind Control reached the peak of Grade 1, he could get [Emotion Control] and [Illusion Crafting] unique skills as the options for rank-up.
But with his [Primogenitor] trait, he could control the direction of growth of his Mind Control trait.
Doing this, he could get different options for unique skill evolution like [Subtle Manipulation] and [Mass Influence].
Or so Neo thought.
The basic information of the Primogenitor unique skill that appeared in his mind was limited.
He would have to use the skill to understand how it worked.
"This sounds like a good skill, but it's too complicated. Choosing this is a gamble.
"What if the modifications will be minor?"
Neo's thoughts were cut short when a maggot bit his neck.
He died.
Time continued to move.
[12 hours have passed since your Death.]
[You will be forcefully revived.]
[Error! You do not have stacks left for Immortal.]
[Error! You do not have stacks left for Immortal.]
[Error! You do not have stacks....]
[Error! You do....]
[Error....]
The screen kept flashing.
At midnight, the Immortal skill gained a new stack, and Neo was revived.
"Let me look at the options, would you!?" Neo roared.
He slashed downwards.
The air was torn apart, and the ground cracked for as far as the eyes could see.
His attack, while powerful, did nothing to the maggots.
"Dammit."
Neo shifted his focus to his unique skill options.
Finality's description was short.
The skill sounded like a high-level version of Death element mastery.
It sounded too good to be true.
And Neo knew why he was feeling this way.
"Finality definitely has the power to harm the [Angel], but can I use it?"
If his current mastery of Death was equal to a formula one race car, then Finality was a space
shuttle.
Both vehicles were fast, but the difference in their speed was incomparable.
Finality would allow him to use a space shuttle immediately.
But...
"I don't have the fuel to run a space shuttle."
The vehicle might've changed; however, it still needed fuel to run.
Neo's Divine Energy Purity was far from being able to fuel a space shuttle.
He would need to use considerable time to train and increase his Divine Energy Purity.
By that time, his Death element mastery could naturally reach the level of the Finality unique
skill.
The Finality skill still had its boons.
He might not be able to use the skill indefinitely.
He could, however, definitely use it for a few seconds at the least.
With the skill, he could become a unique being. ƒrēewebnovel.com
