Chapter 1772: Choosing New Divine Abilities
With five days to rest given to us all, I decided to dedicate some time to my wives and also to sleep. I ended waking up rather late the next day. It was already past 1 PM when I finally opened my eyes, and that"s mostly because I forced myself.
As a dragon, I could easily keep sleeping for years if I ever wanted, but with the world the way it is, that"s not really a thing I can do anymore. Not for now, at the very least. I walked out of bed while noticing my girls were also sleeping just as soundly as I was.
I guess I wasn"t the only one that had a very deep sleep, they"re still sleeping!
"Well..."
There were honestly a lot of things that needed to be done, so while I left my Cooking Spirits making breakfast, I made my way to the backyard, the huge garden where divine treasures were being farmed and grown. I opened my inventory and took out several items I wanted to
use.
[Divine Ability Fusion Marble (SSS Grade)] x2
[Divine Spirit Creation Ticket (SS Grade)] x4
[Divine Ability Evolution Grimoire (SS Grade)] x3
[Divine Ability Selection Grimoire (SSS+ Grade)] x3
[Divinity Fusion Talisman (SSS+ Grade)] x2
[Divinity Evolution Talisman (SSS+ Grade)] x2
[Divine Ability Enhancement Elixir (SSS Grade)] x15
[Divinity Enhancement Elixir (SSS Grade)] x15
It was more than I had expected, but yeah, there was still a large quant.i.ty of items I had to use. I didn"t like having them hanging around in my inventory when they could grant me quite a sizable amount of strength after all.
So let"s see...
There"s the fusion marble, spirit creation ticket, divine ability evolution grimoire and then the selection one... Then the Divinity items, and lastly the Elixirs that let you enhance a Divine Ability or Divinity up to a certain amount, I believe.
Let"s start with the easy one... Divine Ability Selection Grimoire. This item seemed rather precious, allowing you to select a Divine Ability from within a randomly chosen pool of Divine Abilities that are based on the user"s potential, abilities, and so on.
FLUOSH!
The grimoires opened one after another, their glows suddenly converging, as I realized they merged together into a single, gigantic book!
What the h.e.l.l?!
Ding!
[You have opened the [Divine Ability Selection Grimoire (SSS+ Grade)] x3 at the same time!]
[All three opened Grimoires have merged into a Larger Grimoire, with their combined selected pool of Divine Abilities to choose.]
[Please choose the three Divine Abilities you want to gain from the available Divine Abilities.] {Available Divine Abilities (9)}
[Demonic Dragon"s Metamorphosis (SSS+)]
[Lesser Time Flow Essence Manipulation (SSS+)]
[System Law Integration and Upgrade (SSS+)]
[Divine Dragon Venerable"s Breath of Creation (SSS+)]
[All Consuming Demonic Frost Domain (SSS+)]
[Heavenly Sacred Light of Order (SSS+)]
[Divine Dragon Venerable s.p.a.ce-Destroying Claws (SSS+)]
[Demonic Spirit Dragon Venerable All-Seeing Eyes (SSS+)]
[Divine System Spirit Administrator Summon (SSS+)]
"These are all of them?"
I glanced at the book in silence, it was indeed a large quant.i.ty of options! And all the Divine Abilities came maxed at SSS+ Rank. So it was their strongest forms already.
Unlike all my other Divine Abilities though, these looked very new, mostly based on my new powers as Venerable, now that I think about it, or on the new Laws I"ve acquired.
[Please choose three Divine Abilities from the available pool.]
Another message appeared in the grimoire.
I guess I have to choose between nine of them, and only three.
That"ll be hard!
Okay, let"s eliminate them out one by one...
Demonic Dragon Metamorphosis? I don"t really care, pa.s.s.
Lesser Time Flow Essence Manipulation? Sounds interesting, let"s keep it.
System Law Integration and Upgrade? Very interesting too... let"s keep it around.
Divine Dragon Venerable"s Breath of Creation... Also very good and interesting.
All Consuming Demonic Frost Domain seems to be some sort of combination between my Ice and Demon powers, interesting, but I"ll pa.s.s.
Heavenly Sacred Light of Order seems to be derived from Celestia! However, it feels rather
lackl.u.s.ter name-wise, pa.s.s.
Divine Dragon Venerable s.p.a.ce-Destroying Claws, sounds cool, a claw divine ability is... Nah,
never mind. Just a claw? Pa.s.s.
Demonic Spirit Dragon Venerable All-Seeing Eyes, interesting, keep it.
Divine System Spirit Administrator Summon, very interesting too, let"s keep it around.
So that reduces my options to [Lesser Time Flow Essence Manipulation (SSS+)], [System Law Integration and Upgrade (SSS+)], [Divine Dragon Venerable"s Breath of Creation (SSS+)], [Demonic Spirit Dragon Venerable All-Seeing Eyes (SSS+)], and [Divine System Spirit Administrator Summon (SSS+)]!
Wait, that"s still a lot... 6!
Okay, let"s prioritize the strongest and most useful sounding ones.
Lesser Time Flow Essence Manipulation is a must, so we"ll pick this without hesitation.
Then the rest are more complicated... Hmm, the eye is like clairvoyance? The power to see very far around a range, most likely.
Sounds really cool, but is that even useful compared to the others? Not so much, for now.
Then there"s... the Breath of Creation. If I am guessing this right, it could be a dragon breath that can create things?
That sounds really powerful, especially because I"m quite lacking regarding that stuff... So maybe we can keep this one.
Then the last ones to choose is either System Law Integration and Upgrade, and Divine System Spirit Administrator Summon.
The first one sounds like the ability to integrate many other things or people, or living beings into the System Law, even though that"s already happening outside.
Maybe this facilitates that process? Though it also says "Upgrade" so it might even upgrade
my System... I kind of want to keep it for now, yeah.
Then there"s the Administrator Summon. I guess I can pa.s.s on this one and try to create Divine Spirits with my Divine Spirit Creation Tickets that"ll be System-only and can work as
Administrators.
Though, for now, the System seems stable and fine, so there"s no need for additional people working to sustain it for the moment.
Maybe when it becomes large enough to cover and integrate the entire world, I"ll change my
mind.
That"s it, I think I"ve made my decision!
Ding!
