Chapter 427 Origin Ability
Chapter 427 Origin Ability
In the Virtual Tower Plaza.
Coming near the Virtual Tower was a lively scene, with screens showing all-time rankings, records of exciting fights, and the current live feed of the testers.
For Lilith and Skye, it was an eye-opener, especially the records of some special fights.
Those who came here were confident in their skills, being especially recorded by the Virtual Tower for others to remember, proves their the top of the top.
Maximus was also amazed, watching different fighting techniques and combinations.
With such a feast for the eyes, the three stayed in the plaza for a few days.
...
"Let's get going. Watching here does us no good," Maximus said.
"It's time to fight?" Lilith muttered in a daze while eating.
Skye, on the other hand, was still concentrated, as if trying to remember each move, ingraining it into her mind.
"Skye," Maximus called.
"Hmm?" "Let's go. It's much more fun if you fight yourself." "That's right!" Skye nodded excitedly.
Reaching the entrance of the Virtual Tower, they didn't attract much attention.
They were just one of the endless number of individuals challenging the Virtual Tower.
If not for the entry barrier requiring one to pay 1 million origin coins to come to this place, the Domain of Trial would have long been crowded.
A million origin coins may be steep for 99.9 percent of tier 9 individuals.
However, if they didn't even have what it takes to earn such a sum of money, they would only waste their time in the Domain of Trials.
Even Fealan and the others could earn thousands of Origin Coins using their overwhelming strength to dominate a piece of Etherium Realm.
Although, most of it was exaggerated because Maximus directly exchanged their income with origin coins.
Still a tier 9 domain could naturally produce hundreds to thousands of origin fragments. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If they could dominate such a dimension, earning the entrance fee would be a cinch.
As Maximus entered the tower, a prompt appeared, telling him the rules of the place.
Looking expectantly at the place, Maximus clicked enter.
...
Virtual Tower: Tier 9 Trial Floor 1
Appearing in a white field, Maximus faced his first enemy.
"A Mindgard right off the bat?" he muttered.
A Mindgard is one of the top species in the Dimensional Alliance proficient in mental power, taking down most of their enemies without even moving a muscle.
Soon, with a wave of sonic attack, Maximus felt his soul vibrating at a unique frequency.
"10 magnitudes of power?" Gauging the power of the Floor 1 guardian, Maximus was a little impressed.
Although it might seem low, it was still ten times stronger than the average.
However, compared to the hundreds of millions of magnitudes of power he possesses, it was nothing.
Turning his eyes to the guardian, it slowly disintegrated into pieces.
Soon, coming up to the second floor, the guardian's strength went up to 20 magnitudes of power.
"Hmm? Double multiplying?" Maximus guessed with a frown.
If the guardian's power continued to double, no matter how strong he was, he'd be screwed.
Fortunately, coming to the third floor, the guardian's strength only went up to 30 magnitudes of power.
"Adding 10 magnitudes of power? This is easy."
With overwhelming strength, Maximus blasted through the trials without any effort.
...
A few months later, the 100,000th Floor:
Boom~
As the huge explosion subsided, Maximus boredly waited to get to the next floor.
"Too weak," Maximus sighed.
Even on the 100,000th floor, the enemy only had a million magnitudes of power.
However, considering that a million is the limit magnitude of power most tier 9 individuals can reach, it's understandable.
A million magnitudes of power could already fight hand-to-hand with any tier-10 individuals.
Without any special treasure, physique, or technique, few even reach a million magnitudes of power.
After Maximus went up to the 100,001st floor, he waited for the time to countdown while assessing the enemy.
"Hmm? A million and a hundred magnitudes of power?"
"The increment went from ten to a hundred?" Maximus frowned.
It's not that he was worried about the hundreds of increments, but their meanings.
If the increment could increase in the hundred-thousandth floor, would it also change in the hundred and ten thousandth?
Although he was sure to take on any challenge, he was worried about Skye and Lilith.
"I wonder how the two are doing..." Maximus muttered, quickly killing the enemy.
....
In an alternate space in the Virtual Tower.
100,001st floor:
Skye was fighting a life-threatening battle, taking out all her arsenal to defeat the guardian.
"This is fun~" Skye muttered as her lips curled up.
Unlike Maximus, who was blazing through the Virtual Tower like walking through a park, Skye was fighting with all her life.
Initially, she only had over ten thousand magnitudes of power.
However, with the harmonization of law, the revised Origin Manual, and her physique advancing to rank 10, her magnitude of power rose to nearly a million.
Fighting an opponent stronger than her, Skye felt the thrill of battle.
"A little weak, it only has the power and not skill," Skye complained a little.
Wanting to end the fight faster, Skye withdrew all her defense and focused on attack.
Condensing a sword, she slashed the guardian with all her strength.
However, due to her being defenseless, before the guardian died, she was also hit by an attack.
With Skye's vital sign fading out of existence, the Virtual Tower Decision Administrator didn't immediately declare the fight over as if waiting for something.
Soon, as Skye's body began fading out of existence, beside it, human-shaped energy began to condense.
After a few seconds, the energy condensed into Skye.
Opening her eyes, Skye frowned.
"It's too slow, it seems I need more training."
Skye's ability, derived from her physique and Origin Manual, is Absolute Resurrection.
No matter how many times or how she dies, Skye could resurrect where marked before her death.
In the past, utilizing her physique, Skye would resurrect in a random place as a mortal without any power.
Although she was immortal, her next life would be up to where fate took her.
Now her ability granted her conscious resurrection in her most powerful state.
Thus, no matter how strong the opponent is, Skye is invincible.
Unfortunately, because of the rank of her physique and origin manual, Skye was only immune up to the Origin of Law.
The power of the River of Law and the Power of Causality could still send Skye back to zero, that is, to reincarnate randomly in time and space.
However, with such Origin Ability, as long as Skye had the will, no enemy from tier 9 and tier 10 could defeat her.
Even Maximus was helpless against such an ability.
No matter how strong he is, the highest tier of power he could use is the power of Origin of Law.
Maximus couldn't even seal up Skye as she could automatically commit suicide with a thought or if deemed that she could no longer move or think.
With such strength, even with a supreme-grade physique, Skye could fight toe to toe with those who possess an origin-grade physique.
Such an insane ability made Maximus feel that he created a monster.
"Next floor," Skye muttered, licking her lips.
Looking at the guardian, who was the size of a kitten with pitiful eyes, Lilith couldn't help but pet it.
...
In another alternate virtual space, 100,001st floor:
Lilith looked at the floor guardian with conflicted emotions.
"Should I kill you or not?" Lilith muttered.
Looking at the guardian, who was the size of a kitten with pitiful eyes, Lilith couldn't help but pet it.
"But you're so cute, how could I kill you~"
"Meow~" roared the guardian.
Initially, the guardian was a gigantic beast the size of a world, however, in the blink of an eye before it could even attack, it shrank to the size of a kitten.
"Sealing is so powerful, it could even turn a ferocious beast into a cute kitty~" Lilith muttered, taking the guardian in her arms.
Lilith's ability, derived from her physique and the revised Origin Manual, is Absolute Seal.
Any attack, treasure, or phenomenon, no matter what it is, as long as it didn't exceed her physique, could be sealed.
This means, Lilith is invincible at both her realm and above.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as it is sealed, it would be a harmless animal that could only be petted.
Unfortunately, such an Origin Ability also had a bearing capacity.
Like Maximus, who had hundreds of millions of magnitudes of power, although Lilith had the ability to seal him, she had no power to make it happen.
It's like a lock, although Lilith has the keys to lock the gate, she doesn't have the power to turn the keys down.
Maximus estimated that Lilith should at least have about 1/100th of the enemy's strength before she could seal it.
With over a million magnitudes of power, Lilith could seal up anyone below tier 11 who has over a hundred million magnitudes of power.
Such an ability is truly worthy of an Origin-Grade physique.
While Skye had to fight for her life, Lilith only had to point at the enemy to make it kneel.
After having had enough fun petting such a cute little creature, Lilith remembered that she still had to climb up the tower.
"Goodbye, kitty~," Lilith said reluctantly, sealing the guardian's life away.
