Chapter 549 Speculation Of Power
Rey\'s expression was stoic as he uttered those words. He stared at Ater, who remained standing before him. The latter had just finished explaining the cause for Rey\'s sudden fall into unconsciousness.
"Well, now that Master is awake, it means your body has fully acclimated to the power you gained. Do you feel any different?"
This question was met with a slight shrug, after which Rey shook his head.
"No. It feels like I\'ve always been like this." He murmured. "Does that make any sense to you?"
Usually, when one receives a bunch of Divine Skills—both Active and Passives—you would expect certain changes with them.
Perhaps the ability to sense the laws of the world, or some kind of difference in their perception and relation to everything around them would be visibly altered.
But Rey felt nothing like that.
Sure, his sensory abilities had been maximized to an incredible level, and his body felt free and completely his own, but other than that… he felt pretty much the same.
"Have your Passive Skills been toggled on yet?"
"Oh, let me check…" Rey went to his Status Window and realized, much to his embarrassment, that they were not turned on.
Everything he was currently experiencing was merely a result of his Base Stats.
\'I have eight Passive Skills, all of which are SS-Tier.\' He rubbed his chin, going through each one.
This was the first time he had more Passive than Active Skills, but considering their effects, he wasn\'t complaining in the slightest.
\'I have [Divine Magic Supremacy], [Perfect Divine Resistance], [Perfect Divine Immortality], [Perfect Divine Regeneration], [Perfect Divine Martial Supremacy], [Perfect Divine Growth], [Perfect Divine Form], and [Perfect Divine Adaptability].\'
Most of them functioned exactly as their name depicted. The Magic Supremacy and Martial Supremacy Skills granted him the perfect body and mind to instantly activate and perform any Magic Spell or Martial Arts Technique.
Of course, he\'d have to learn them and their functions, but a mere glance would be enough for him to replicate their effects. \'Coupled with my other Skills, it\'s possible to even make Spells or Techniques of my own…\'
Then, there was [Perfect Divine Resistance], which essentially made it so that his body wouldn\'t be affected by any Negative Status Condition. \'But, considering how this is basically overlapping with my Class Privilege, It\'s pretty useless. I\'ll have to feed it to [Sacrifice] later.\'
[Perfect Divine Immortality] made him pretty much immortal, which was also overlapping with another Class Privilege. That meant this would be another [Sacrifice] candidate.
\'I need as many Stats as possible, so any useless Skill of mine will have to go towards that cause…\'
What bothered him about this choice was that his Class could eventually change and he would lose access to the Immortality and Resistance Skills forever.
What if his new Class didn\'t have those perks? After all, his older Classes had Privileges that didn\'t carry over when he got a higher one.
\'I only have this Class and its Privileges because this world apparently has an interest in me. What if it stops developing that interest? Then what?\' When Rey considered these things, he began to rethink his earlier decision.
\'Maybe I\'ll just wait a little longer. If I\'m in dire need of more Stats, I\'ll feed them to [Sacrifice].\'
His other Skills—[Perfect Divine Regeneration], and [Perfect Divine Growth]—involved a higher form of regeneration and growth, which he considered pretty neat. \'Since I have perfect regeneration, isn\'t it safe to get rid of the immortality Skill? It essentially does the same thing.\' Rey thought to himself.
As long as he didn\'t die in a single hit, he would fully recover. It was also a Passive Skill, so while it took Mana anytime he wanted to use it, there wasn\'t a particular limit to its activation.
\'I still have my Class Privileges too…\' As if to further convince him, he noticed the effects of [Perfect Divine Form] and [Perfect Divine Adaptability], both of which further rendered him unkillable.
\'I have a divine form that essentially improves all my bodily functions and senses. I can detect all the energies around me and can fully augment my body as I desire it. I\'m more durable too. In essence, I possess a perfect body; as perfect as it can get anyway…\'
As if that wasn\'t enough, [Perfect Divine Adaptability] made sure he would always grow past any sudden adversity that his other Skills failed to account for if given enough time.
\'All I need is to survive it once, or to even be inflicted by it for a second or two, and my body will immediately adapt to it.\' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It felt amazing how unkillable he had become.
\'Adding that to my Class Privileges, which—realistically speaking—are probably not going anywhere anytime soon, I probably have nothing to worry about feeding the Immortality and Resistance Skills to [Sacrifice].\'
The rest could stay, though, since they had a wider range of utility.
\'The fact that I lost most of my more versatile Skills and got these ones that have an emphasis on my survival means [Divine Merger] really didn\'t want me to perish, huh?\'
Considering the nature of his fight at that time, he could understand why he was granted these particular Skills.
He also hadn\'t gotten his new Class yet, so they wouldn\'t have been wasted back then.
\'Well… that\'s in the past now.\' Rey used his fingers to select the Skills he desired to feed into [Sacrifice], and they instantly vanished from his list.
\'I only have 13 Skills now, huh? And how many Stats did I gain from this?\'
[Stats Calculated: You have obtained a total of 30,000 Stat Points for your Sacrifice]
\'That seems a little too low, considering they\'re two Divine Skills…\' Rey thought to himself, but he restrained his face from depicting any sign of concern.
\'Could it be that [Sacrifice] grants less Stat Points the more I use it? Maybe… maybe not.\' None of that mattered at the moment, though. There would always be opportunities to test out more of his theories, but now that he had taken the first step, what remained was to finally incorporate his new Stats with his Skills.
\'I now have a total of 46,550 Stat Points at my disposal. How do I spend them?\'
There was no real point in placing any in his Life Force, considering his array of Skills and Class Privileges that pretty much dealt with all his problems regarding that area.
\'But… my last opponent was able to interfere with my Skills to an extent. I have no idea what will pop up next, so I should still invest in it.\'
With that in mind, Rey added 10,000 Stat Points to his Life Force Stat, and then placed a whopping 20,000 into his Mana Level Stat.
\'For some reason, I don\'t have a Mana Recovery Skill. Divine Skills really consume a lot of Mana to use, so I\'ll need as much as I can get.\'
He placed the rest in his Combat Ability Stat, successfully spending all of his Stat Points.
\'It\'s funny how I was so glad to see a few hundred Stats in my System Window. But now…\' A small smile formed on his face as he looked at the screen before him.
- Life Force: 13,000 - Mana Level: 29,000 - Combat Ability: 21,550
- Stat Points: 0
\'... Now I\'ve gotten a lot stronger.\'
When the next enemy came, he would be more prepared—no matter what.
\'Now that I\'ve sorted that out… I can finally address the things that have been on my mind since I woke up.\' Rey raised his head and looked at Ater with a narrowed gaze.
"Exactly how long was I asleep for?"
