Chapter 465: Eternity Power Level
5 days later
“Finally,” the words echoed loudly through the mental realm, where stood none other than the skeletal figure of a creature.
Its humongous height of about 100 meters was covered in various runic lines that bloomed off its surface, radiating a mixture of blue and golden dusts of light.
But what one would find peculiar was that around its skeletal figure, there was a covering similar to that of flesh—only this one was made of dots of light, making it resemble a phantom of a living dragon.
The dragon, now in much clearer shape, was in a position that seemed to be roaring at the sky.
But at the top of its maw, there was a ball of blue energy, around the diameter of a meter, hovering just above its wide-open mouth.
In the end, the dragon wasn’t roaring.
It was trying to conjure a ball.
But what it conjured…Wasn’t just a ball. It was Ryuk’s…
“Finally completed my Mind Core!” Ryuk’s voice echoed through the realm as he gave one last look at the draconic phantom and the shimmering ball-like core of golden-blue energy before his consciousness dispersed from the realm.
When he opened his eyes, a powerful boom of golden energy mixed in with blue splashes left those irises, as he slowly floated down to the grassy ground.
In front of his gaze, there was a notification flashing:
[Congratulations, Host, on breaking through to the ThoughtWeaver Stage!]
[A new stat has been recorded on Host’s stats panel: Aether.]
[All remaining locked stat points have been fully unlocked.]
[Congratulations, Host, on the monumental increase in power level.]
The system congratulated him as Ryuk’s eyes finally flashed with a smile before he ordered:
“Activate Stats Panel.”
[Strength: 1000]
[Agility: 1000]
[Endurance: 1000]
[Intelligence: 700]
[Mana: 600]
[Aether: 200]
[Charisma: 200]
[Luck: KNull]
[Attribute Points: —]
“Right now…” Ryuk voiced out as he raised his head up to the sky, the gentle breeze causing his hair to calmly flick around.
“I would face an Eternity Stage expert head-on.”
Close to a week had passed, and Ryuk had done nothing but train harder each night.
He’d cultivated Aetheris for around 8 hours until his Mental Veins could no longer take more, and then he’d move on to the next task immediately.
Track Zone. Endurance Zone. Combat Zone.
Training all night long and giving himself around 3 hours to rest and recuperate.
He had done everything within these past few days, going all out with improving his strength.
And now, he was officially twice as strong as he previously was on Enderath.
When he was at the Pseudo-Eternal Stage, his stats were just about 400 or so.
But now, with most of his main stats at a full 1000, Ryuk had no doubt he could face an Eternity Stage expert head-on with just his pure physical prowess although that had yet to be fully tested out.
The strength he felt right now—it wasn’t something he himself could possibly fathom.
It was a feat to say, even he didn’t know how strong he was.
Just that there would be absolute chaos if he fully unleashed himself.
“How’s it going, Machine Boy…” The words suddenly rang out behind him as he turned his head, finding a tall lady wearing long silvery robes standing behind him, her hands crossed into each other.
She had a smile on her face, one resembling more of a tease, as Ryuk grinned.
“Pretty well,” he replied smiling, as he watched a silvery light flash in her eyes before her face contorted in surprise—but then it soon faded away as she shook her head helplessly.
“You’ve reached the ThoughtWeaver Stage!?” she said with slight surprise, as Ryuk made his way towards her.
“Surprised?” he asked when he arrived by her side, before moving past as Kiyana inhaled deeply and then exhaled.
For close to a week now, she had sat by his side every night of training, watching him progress in his cultivation, and she could confidently say she had never seen a monster like him before.
From cultivating for long hours, absorbing an unbelievable amount of Aetheris, to going into the Plateaus and training to the peak level of all the available Track Zones—
Many times, she had watched Ryuk train until he could barely even lift himself off the ground.
And the Machine Boy whose existence she had barely acknowledged previously had managed to amaze her—with nothing but pure hard work and consistency.
Bloodied. Tired. Yet never once complaining about it being too hard.
He only ever smiled through it all, sometimes laughing loudly when she shook her head at him.
She had gotten used to him after it all, and now, seeing him break through to the ThoughtWeaver Stage—it should have been expected, since she knew the Aetheris he absorbs every night was an absord amount.
But when she also viewed the fact that he had barely started cultivating Aetheris for what seemed like a week…
It left her simply speechless. And once more, she felt her heart warming.
“Safe to say it’s pretty expected. You’ve worked hard for it after all…” She said, as she turned behind to look at Ryuk, who shrugged but suddenly stopped as he turned to look back at her.
“Quite the outfit you’re wearing. What’s with the change?” He couldn’t help but ask her as she saw her silver robes.
A week of being with Kiyana and Ryuk felt closer to her than ever.
For once, he never needed to actively hide anything.
He didn’t need to hide from her what he was—a robot.
He didn’t need to hide from her the cultivation technique he was using.
He didn’t need to hide from her about how hard he trained or limit his strength, like he usually have to do around those he knew.
And after all that, he had eventually gotten used to her presence.
Safe to say, she was the only person amongst the silverunics whose presence he didn’t find irritating.
“Took you long enough to find out!” She said with a scoff, before her face grew serious.
“The King, along with his Elders, requests a presence with all of the Royalty Children and the Ancients of the Races.”
“I’ve been asked to fetch you.”
