[Master, once you absorb the bloodline, I will then generate the things gained from it.] Elysiaâs voice sounded.
He wasted no time and allowed the bloodline to enter his body and when it did... the Primavus bloodline roared in excitement and dominance. Even a bloodline as powerful as this Dragon bloodline... it could do nothing with the Primavus.
Especially as it had the unnamed essence intertwined into it.
The Dragon bloodline blended effortlessly, and Ashâs body began to transform right away. Thanks to the Morpharchs, the changes would happen more quickly instead of requiring cocoonsâunless, of course, they were just too extreme.
However, as he added a new bloodline that was prominent if not more prominent than the previous ones he gained some new features.
His horns became pink, white and black as he gained two extra that formed a crown on his headâdelicate yet regal, spiraling upward like frozen flames. His eyes that were rings of fire gained two symbols.
In the left eye appeared a silver hourglass ringed in pink fireâsand flowing in slow, eternal loops.
The right eye gained a perfect void point ringed in white fireâa small black abyss that seemed to swallow light and spit it back as pale embers.
He felt scales attempting to form, but he didnât allow it.
Aside from that he grew taller now standing at 6 foot 10 inches tall. His wings sprouted as they grew even larger and denserâfeathers thickening, edges shimmering with faint black-pink light that flickered like dying stars.
He looked blasphemousâtoo beautiful, yet too monstrous all at once. As his transformation concluded, Elysia revealed the information she had gathered.
[Concept of Eternity 100%]
[Concept of Endings 100%]
[Endless-Finite Cascade (???) - Every ending you cause spreads like a chain reaction. Killing one being ends their entire bloodline across timelines, universes, and reality. The Cascade cannot be stopped unless you will it.]
[Last Dawn (???) - You can proclaim a single breath that ends all cycles of existence in mana sense range. Until you will it you will become the sole existence in the selected range. (Usable three times per Cosmic Cycle.)]
[Master, with this bloodline weâve stepped further in our optimization. Not only that you have yet again become even more absurd...]
Ash smiled hearing that... but it wasnât time for this little power up to end.
He was now in the Peak Void Emperor rank with multiple concepts which was already the key to stepping into the Cosmic Overlord rank.
What they would need to do is create a Preceptâsomething that needed at minimum three concepts along with laws. Ash smiled as he didnât even have to give Elysia the order.
Currently, he had two people that stood at the Peak of the Cosmic Overlord realm. One surprised him as she had a spike in affection recently.
"Is my mother really so strong?" He questioned as he looked at her affection that was now 97%âfor the longest it slowly crept upwards, but recently itâs went crazy.
[Apparently... and as you know there is some secret to the way forward. So... maybe sheâs stuck as well?] Elysia assumed.
He then copied the rank of both Sandra and Layla... Someoneâs whose affection had went way to 99%. Normally he wouldnât mind it, as affection didnât normally mean they held feelings... but Layla, sheâd already been caught red handed, not that he wouldnât welcome it...
He simply wanted Archie as a friend.
He immediately stepped into the Cosmic Overlord realm as two blank seeds appeared before him. These were blank precepts those that stemmed from Layla and his mother. Then as he sat here with four stellar laws and two soon to be precepts... Something that should be impossible he had an idea.
"Elysia... copy the ranks of everyone... All those in the Calamity rank."
Without asking questions she did just that as he gained thousands from the troops in the haven... those from Nia and the others.
"How much time has passed so far?"
[Not long, only a month inside.]
"Alright, help me make these blank seeds into the most absurd Calamity Laws we can think of."
And with that thought, time flowed like water. Two months passed within his inner cosmos, while only three days slipped by in the outside world. By the end, they had forged thousands of new Calamity Laws.
With these Laws flowing through him... his cosmos he felt even more powerful. Yet he didnât stop moving as he moved to the Precepts. Elysia explained them very simply. They were short proclamations that had seven stages.
Each stage provided a new ability tied to this Precept that allowed it work more uniquely.
He took a look at his Concepts which he gained from those he copied at the Void Emperor rank. They were the Concepts of Growth, Illusion, Space, Annihilation and a few rare ones which were Poison and Time. Most of them were repetitive so he only gained a few in reality.
By adding the concept of Endings and Eternity, he had quite a lot to work with. Each precept was crafted from all his concepts and so many different laws that it was downright ridiculous.
[A/N: Aside from the name of the Precepts, I wonât show the details... Solely because of whatâs going to happen next!]
After 6 months of channeling concepts and laws into the blank seeds he had two OP Precepts.
Precept of The Final Silence and Precept of Endless Beginning
As he sat cross legged with thousands now with thousands of Calamity Laws, Four Stellar Laws, and Two Precepts... He sought to combine each of them together.
And like always he made this possible by creating... creating an artifact specifically for this. He used his Titles, Talents, and pure Desire to create it. Then in an instant each of the powers poured into his vessel as they began to combine into one.
As this happened, he also allowed the neat trick of his power system show. If he ever reached a point where power ceased, then it would adapt to his desires. Now, as far as he knew it nothing lied above the Cosmic Overlord rank... and nothing was beyond a Precept.
So, instead of trying to make his own rank above Cosmic Overlord... No, he would find the way ahead and have those around him do the heavy work. He instead created his own one-of-a-kind conceptual power far beyond any precept.
It had one stage and came with two abilities.
"Letâs call it a Verdict. The Verdict of the Unwritten..." He spoke as he felt the power flow through his inner cosmos. It was something that no longer just conceptual power, but a state of being.
[Verdict of the Unwritten - A state of being where all possible expressions of power, progression, beginning, ending, and desire have already been resolved... There is no proclamation, only will.
Null Crown Affirmation - At any moment you will it, anything opposing, limiting, or attempting to define you is nullified. Itâs not erasure or destruction; itâs a declaration that the opposition never possessed the ontological status to oppose you.
Apex Genesis - You can, will a new, singular truth into being, one that replaces something youâve erased. The new truth is always superior to whatever was nullified.]
Nine Months... thatâs all it took for him to become an entirely different monster. While only nine days passed in the Erebus Galaxy, he had become something unthinkable.
[A New scan is needed... but we will save it for the next seclusion session as to save your load from being too much.] Elysia said as a long seclusion would be needed soon...
"Yeah, I need to find some time to cultivate... unfortunately, Iâm in need of a few thousand years," he said as he stood up.
"Show my status."
