Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Chapter 1261: The Order Welcomes A Worthy Master! (5)



Andori were ranked in ascending order from Grand, Sage, Ascendant to Cosmic. Each tier was split into four ranks - First to Fourth - with the Fourth representing the peak of an Andori's progression in a tier.

Andori were impossible to elevate without improving one's Broader Existence, and that was for good reason. Most of them packed great defensive, supportive and attacking powers that perhaps reality meant to keep sternly in check.

Skullius so far possessed Andori of the Grand and Sage tiers. According to the guidance field, him being in possession of abilities that fit within the Common Reality Leagues when he had just ascended from mortality, was not very common.

Of course, the Hybrid Warmoth imagined this was because of the phantoms' machinations and the fact that both his Warmoth powers and Fulgardt's held abilities that weren't meant to be limited by the cage that was mortality. Of this, there could be no doubt.

The first Andori that Skullius decided to fully analyse was the [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus]. He already knew its capabilities now, but he decided to check it out anyway, as it was currently his strongest Andori.

[Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus | Fourth Sage Tier]

A mystical cloud, ever-present and closely tied to its master's fondest wishes and ficklest emotion;

-

"Looks about right," Skullius said and the phantoms agreed.

The reason [Entropy's Harmonising Nimbus] was so powerful was because Skullius' phantoms had infused a plethora of abilities into its creation, forging one seamlessly compact Andori.

[Unbridled Wisdom of the Ascended Nullmancer], [Wanton Royal's Void-Biting Serpent], [Mystic Macer], [True Nullmancer's Wretched Reaper of Ugly Divinity], [Apostle's Liege], [Warmoth's Fortitude], [Unrelenting Ju`wtte Chain], [Melding Stitches], [Warmoth's

Empyrean Ambience], [Wealth of Spoils]...

All these skills had been combined seamlessly.

It seemed like a lot and needlessly so, but the fact that the phantoms had been told about the predicament involved with raising the proficiency of Andori brought the purpose of such an undertaking to light. Besides that, the phantoms hoped to save on Amras consumption with this move, and it seemed their hopes were realised.

It had also been Skullius' intention to not have so many abilities, which could end up confusing him.

'Adding the Melding Stitches to this was a nice touch. They have been fused with the merigold Ju`wtte now, which means they will be even more powerful,' Skullius thought, and he turned to other Andori.

[Sagacious Antiphon of Dawnlight | Third Grand Tier]

Skullius grinned.

These Andori had become impossibly stronger versions of their previous selves, granting him immensely tantalising functions. He was surprised by [King of Severing Twilight: AfterDark]

in particular.

It gave him access to the great void in manners he was surprised by.

"A great cavern in the bowls of the great void? Away from prying eyes?" Skullius said while

stroking his chin. "And even the great void's darkness can be used to increase the power of my Immortal Physique, huh?"

"Even we didn't factor this in. Were Fulgardt's powers always this powerful?" a phantom

said.

"It appears so," another added.

"Perhaps the Permanent Max Evolution did us another favour here. Its brilliant all the same, though it makes you wonder what relationship Fulgardt had with the void, if he did have one," another said curiously. "Serenity, is it possible for other beings to create some kind of purchase within void's vast body and live there?"

Serenity took a moment before answering.

"Void's body is quite vast large and it houses so many phenomena, most of it treacherous.

However, I wouldn't say anything makes her 'bowls' its home. This is unheard of, and I doubt

a simple Permanent Max Evolution would have made it possible either," she said.

How ominous.

Skullius frowned and his phantoms became distressed.

All at once, they thought of one being.

The Wanderer Who Seeds.
