Chapter 235: Chapter 234:Immemorial Golden Ape.
A/N: and the info dump begins, try to beat with it..
*******
"Hooo.... That’s the last time I ever let myself attend any kind of shopping trip ever again." I sighed, finally free from the torturous event.
The girls had gone to "check out" the clothes.
I had no doubt half of those clothes would be gone by the end of the day, but so long as nobody is bothering me, I’m good...
"Now then, let’s finally sort things out shall we?"
"System."
[Ding!]
"Bring up the backlogs, all the missed notifications, all of it, bring it up..."
[DING!!]
[You have gained insight into the [SUPREME]<law of collapse>....
[You have gained insight into the [SUPREME]<law of collapse>....
[You have gained insight into the [SUPREME]<law of collapse>....
.....
...
[You have slain [Law corrupted]<Abomination>(S) x4...]
....
...
[You have gained insights into the [SUPREME]<law of collapse>..]
[You have slain [Perfect Law corrupted]<Abomination>(S)...]
...
....
<<DEVOURING IN PROGRESS....>>
<<DEVOURING SUCCESSFUL..>>
<<Energy converted...>>
<<You have received.... Free attributes>>
<<You have devoured proto law fragment..>>
I paused the moment I saw that last line..
"Proto law fragment.." I remembered these notifications, they were the ones I had gotten and muted during the mission against the executioners.
"So that’s what it was.." it was this thing that made my comprehension of a supreme law, and one with such terrifying powers,rise to such absurd levels, and sure enough the next notification confirmed it..
DING!]
[Your comprehension of the [SUPREME]<Law of Collapse> has deepened considerably..
[SUPREME]<Collapse>: 19.0078%...]
"Collapse.." one of the, if not THE most dangerous acquisition during this outing of mine..
"Not now... not yet." It truly wasn’t time to dive into this death trap yet.
I needed to understand everything I’d gotten so far before I decided to test these dangerous waters.
"Now, that event should be next right?" I could recall vividly what happened next, so, I willed the notifications on..
[Ding!]
This.. this was where I passed out.
I could recall the feeling of drowsiness clearly..
[Condition fulfilled.]
[Host has reached Perfection in the Concept of Atmosphere.]
[Host protected a fragment of the Firmament.]
[Recognition obtained.]
[The Firmament wishes to deepen its bond.]
[DING!]
[Recognition obtained]
[The atmosphere thanks you!]
[DING!]
[You have received the title:- <Breath Of The Infinite Horizon>..]
.....
The notifications poured on, this time without any interruptions from that cosmic voice, and at the very end, the very last line.
"There it is.." Breath of the infinite horizon.
It was the title I’d gotten after that bizarre encounter with that strange voice..
I hadn’t checked it out then, or what it did, one part because everything had been confusing and the other because I just didn’t have the mind for it.
"But now," now it was time to find out just what the hell I’d gotten my hands on, since the atmosphere had been acting up on its own lately, I had no doubt it was tied to this title..
....
<Breath of the Infinite Horizon>:-
Description:-
A title born from attaining Perfection in the Concept of Atmosphere.
The host becomes one with the world’s breath, gaining absolute affinity and resonance with all atmospheric phenomena.
The sky acknowledges the host as its chosen vessel, causing winds, storms, and atmospheric forces to naturally align with the host’s existence.
.....
That was it.
Not phenomenal ability lists.
No over the top ultimate ability.
Just a simple and clean description of what the title was, but that was more than enough...
"I see..." no wonder.
No wonder it felt like I was always being watched over.
I wasn’t tripping.
The very atmosphere was no longer passive, it had actively become involved in my life..
"Hooo...." I sighed.
I didn’t know how to feel, or just what this entailed, since the title and it’s effects were still very vague, I might’ve just seen what might not have even been the tip of what was probably an extremely massive iceberg...
"Heh! First, Abyssal Firmament Dominion, now this. You just want me all to yourself don’t you?" I snickered, speaking to no one in particular, yet...
Woosh!!!
The wind ruffled my hair gently, a tickling sensation spreading across my cheeks..
"Hah.. well then, I guess we’ll just have to see how far we can push this new connection of ours no?" I laughed.
"But first, let’s get everything settled properly." I pacified the winds..
"Damn. Never thought that’d be something I’d ever say out loud. Next!" I called out after shaking my head at the ridiculousness of the whole thing..
....
<<DEVOURING IN PROGRESS...>>
<<DEVOURING SUCCESSFUL..>>
<<Energy converted 1000k CE...>>
....
...
<<You have acquired Fragmented bloodline of the <IMMEMORIAL GOLDEN APE(Exalted)>...>>
....
"Huh? Fragmented bloodline? Immemorial golden ape?" When did I get this? And what the hell was an immemorial golden ape?
"System."
[Host acquired the fragmented bloodline of the immemorial golden ape after the host devoured the target Sullivan Bloodvein, an heir candidate to the monkey king’s inheritance..]
My system’s reply made my eyebrows shoot up..
Yes.
That’s it.
I hadn’t devoured anything else after that encounter with the king, the only thing being that very smelly monkey and his goons.
But, "immemorial golden ape?" Weren’t we just going after the inheritance of some funny old monkeys? Some Sun Wu Kong ripoffs? How did it turn into some immemorial golden ape bloodline fragment?
"Hey system, this fragment, did all heirs to the monkey king’s inheritance have it?"
[Affirmative.]
"Then, when Malachi was eating them earlier..."
[He was merely refining his own fragment of the bloodline.]
Damn! That was something else.
"So does that mean, the monkey king is the one that receives the complete bloodline of this immemorial golden ape? Is that why it’s so coveted?"
[Host must be joking.]
I stared at the notification.
"...Did this stupid thing just look down on me?"
It was impossible, but I could’ve sworn there was a healthy amount of contempt packed into those four words.
"Oh, and why do you say so?" I crossed my arms, unwilling to let this system get one over me..
[..]
I swear, for a moment I heard an exhausted and tired sigh, but before I could dwell on it..
[it is impossible for any of those little monkeys, be it they or their ancestors to ever have the full bloodline of the immemorial golden ape, at best, the monkey king receives .001% of the true bloodline.]
"What? That’s impossible, I’ve seen what Malachi’s bloodline grants him, and that was before he attained the title of monkey king, besides, this fragment I obtained is already at the Exalted rank, so surely Malachi’s is more potent and higher ranked than that, so how could he receive only such a minuscule amount?"
[..]
Okay, I was sure now, this bastard system was looking down on me..
[Host, I assure you that it is impossible, for the monkey king to even receive.001% of the immemorial golden ape’s bloodline is already a generous gift.]
"Oh really? And why’s that?" I sneered..
[Because, Host, the immemorial golden ape... is a <PRIMORDIAL BEAST>.]
[...]
[Idiot.]
I blinked. freewёbnoνel.com
Stunned for more reasons than one because,
"Did... did you just call me an idiot?"
********
A/N: you guys will have to bear with me a bit, I need to unpack his notifications and status panel and get things sorted, so the next Chapters should be a bit Info dumpy, but I promise to make sure it doesn’t go for more than 3 Chapters...
Thanks for your patience and also.
