Chapter 517 - [Juvenile Terror]
As all preparations were set for a full scale war with many beings moving, Noah"s second clone continued his exemplary training session in the Time s.p.a.ce of the Spiritual World.
The incandescent colors of gold, dark, red, and blue s.h.i.+mmered around him as he was situated in the junction of the four different Law s.p.a.ces. His own body though was not as radiant though, as it was in the form of a monstrous Cthulhu with tentacles that wriggled with the power of Aether!
The beauty of the Law s.p.a.ces around him was ruined as the destructive attacks he was training to increase the proficiency of the skill tree were too many, but they achieved the result as he was able to bring another skill tree to the World Rank, and this time it was the especially unique pathway that led towards the mysterious Terrors of the Letalis Expanse.
The unlocked pathway this time was termed [Juvenile Terror], and the abilities were shocking, to say the least!
WORLD [Amorphous s.p.a.ce Beast] (15/15) :: Abilities- Spatial Cage(5/5), Destabilize(5/5), Shattered Star(5/5), and Miniature s.p.a.ce(5/5). >> [Lesser Cthulhu] (45/45) :: Additional Abilities- Morph(5/5), Child of s.p.a.ce(5/5), Portals of Terror(5/5), and Sever(5/5). >> [Kin of Terror] (60/60) :: Additional Abilities- Aether Reinforcement (5/5), Multiplicative Ray Support (5/5), Triple on Cast Support (5/5), Lunacy Inducement (5/5) >> [Fledgling Aether Terror] (75/75) :: Additional Abilities- Aether Emission (5/5), Aether Chain Support (5/5), Fatal Ailment Support (5/5), Size Distortion (5/5) >> [Juvenile Terror] (100/100) :: Unique Being (5/5), Compounded Terror Support (5/5), Unnatural Size Support (5/5) Tentacle Manifestation (5/5).
[Unique Being] (5/5) :: Stepping into the ranks of beings born for a specific purpose, your Origin gains a unique disposition. Universal Laws comprehension increased by 50%, and the skill effect of Apathy is granted.
[Compounded Terror Support] (5/5) :: The destructive abilities of the Juvenile Terror are further enhanced. Every time an Aether Ray from [Sever] hits an enemy, a random Portal of Terror blooms.
[Unnatural Size Support] (5/5) :: The effects of Size Distortion are doubled, the Juvenile Terror gaining the ability to expand to 500 meters.
[Tentacle Manifestation] (5/5) :: The physiological tentacles on the body of the Juvenile Terror can be utilized. The power of Aether courses through them as any enemies they come in contact with are affected by the Weakening and Origin Deterioration skill effects.
The abilities of the [Juvenile Terror] Skill Tree were shocking in front of his eyes, and yet Noah"s face and eyes were those of extreme apathy as even his thoughts were only calculative and seeing exactly how useful the new skills would be in battle.
The reason for this was the skill effect that came with the first ability of this new skill tree, [Apathy]!
No emotions were released from him as eyes glanced through the abilities quickly, discerning their usage and effectiveness as he then waved his hands emotionlessly and prepared to get back to training more skill trees while increasing his comprehension in the universal laws.
"..."
It was at this point that he came to a stop, his eyes gradually gaining their normal light as he had sent a command to stop the skill effects of [Unique Being], his heart shaking at the cold and robotic manner of his thoughts and actions just in the last few seconds!
It was as if he was looking through everything through a completely different lens, the only thing that mattered being his goals and the most efficient way to go about them! It was a terrifying state of mind that he had only experienced for a few seconds before he deactivated the skill for now, choosing not to be in that state of mind as he properly looked at his new abilities. He breathed out as he felt his normal self returning, drawing upon the elements around him until his mind felt refreshed before he glanced at the skills.
[Unique Being] came with its own mentioned surprises of the [Apathy] ability and the 50% Universal Laws comprehension, but it was [Compounded Terror Support] that gave him the most shock because of its ridiculousness!
It made it so that every time his aether rays struck someone, a portal of terror would erupt right then and there. With the [Aether Chain Support] that caused his aether rays to chain between enemies, this made for a terrifying picture for any enemies that stood against him in the future.
This wasn"t to even mention [Triple on Cast Support] that allowed for three Portals of Terror to be cast instead of one...his thoughts were wondering whether this would apply with the new aether ray support as it would truly just be the cherry on top for the ridiculous abilities!
[Unnatural Size] simply made his size even crazier as he went more and more towards the body size of an actual Terror, not fully knowing just how large the future abilities would make him.
The Last ability, [Tentacle Manifestation]- was actually more in line with the abilities of the Cthulhu, granting another offensive skill that would terrify his targets before they were destroyed.
Ever so slowly, the abilities of the powerful existences he had only heard about continued to come to him, his heart patiently waiting for the ones that would come at the Star Forging Realm and the Nebula Realm.
His essence moved as he only hesitated for a moment before allowing for the activation of [Unique Being] once more, enjoying the effects of increased Law Comprehension and gaining the effects of [Apathy] as his mind became increasingly calculative and efficient.
The ability caused him to look at everything in a very cold and detached manner, but its usefulness was still too great when it came to efficiency!
Thus, the second clone got back to training, his progress becoming even faster as across the Novus Galaxy, events continued to unfold.
In the many Infernal Realms where powerful Infernal Lords resided, the lands were trembling as the force of Infernal Lords had also begun to move out of their Realms and began to permeate throughout the Dark Expanse...
