Chapter 57: Fourth World, Power

Ding!

Without skipping a heartbeat...well a nonexistent heartbeat, a screen appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision which showed Aurus the possible evolutions for the skills he wanted to evolve. Of course, with him commanding the system to evolve [Illusion Resistance] first, the first screen he got showed the choices for the [Illusion Resistance] skill's evolution.

________

Please choose the skill that [Illusion Resistance] will evolve into:

[Greater Illusion Resistance]

[Illusion Reflection]

________

"Man, it has been a while since I've seen this screen," Aurus could not help but say as he looked at the two paths for [Illusion Resistance]. Ever since he became an A-grade Inanimate, he decided to just leave it up to the system to evolve as most of the skills he evolved nowadays didn't really have a branching path. Hence, he was slightly startled after seeing a screen appear in front of his field of vision after commanding his system to evolve both skills.

"Identify the two possible choices," Aurus commanded after inferring the effects of the two skills. "If my guesses are correct, one gets me closer to becoming impervious to illusions, while the other one doesn't make me impervious yet, but allows me to retaliate back to the one that casted the illusion."

Ding!

Not long after commanding the system, two screens that showed details on the two choices appeared in front of the choice screen, allowing Aurus to see both of them at the same time.

_______

[Greater Illusion Resistance]

Grade: B (Mortal)

You are now resistant to lower leveled illusions, while higher leveled illusions seem easier to escape. There is an extremely small chance for you to nullify the casted illusion.

_______

_______

[Illusion Reflection]

Grade: B (Mortal)

In exchange for having the same resistance to illusions at the level of the C-grade version of this skill, you now have a slight chance to reflect the illusion casted on you, back to the caster.

_______

After reading through both of the skills' descriptions which was thankfully short due to the option of 'Short evolution and skill info' being enabled by the system, one of the skills caught his eye and basically made Aurus adamant on choosing that skill.

"Evolve [Illusion Resistance] to [Greater Illusion Resistance]!" Aurus did not hesitate to shout out as he was the only one within the green jade hall... that's if you consider the disembodied voice as a nonliving being anyway.

Ding!

'[Illusion Resistance] has been evolved to [Greater Illusion Resistance].'

"Alright, now I won't be affected by low leveled illusions, only extremely intricate illusions can affect my sense of reality right now," Aurus let out a sigh of tense relief as he knew that it would be helpful for the current him who was currently trying to escape from the illusion worlds of the inheritance, which were definitely high level illusions. Nonetheless, after that, it would be rare for him to fall under illusions...unless he became an Animate, then it would be extremely useful for him.

"As for the extremely small chance of nullifying an illusion, I just hope luck smiles upon me and activates it," Aurus sarcastically chuckled as another screen appeared in front of his field of vision.

Ding!

________

Please choose the skill that [Soul Perception I] will evolve into:

[Soul Perception II]

[Sight Perception I]

________

After coming across the two choices, Aurus did not hesitate to choose the former skill as a spark of realization came to his mind.

"[Soul Perception] is not only limited to sight, but the other senses as well!"

Ding!

'[Soul Perception I] has been evolved to [Soul Perception II].'

At this moment, Aurus could not help but smile at the new evolution of his [Soul Perception] skill. Whenever he tried to change his normal view into something else, the radius at which he could effectively see has been expanded by a lot. Not only that, he felt that the pressure the changed view brought to his soul was drastically diminished. He was now looking forward to the next evolution of this skill.

Coincidentally, at the instant Aurus was finished evolving both of these skills, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall as Aurus disappeared from the surface of this hall in an instant.

"The fourth world, Power, has been casted.'

"Transporting the inheritor into the world..."

...

Within the Celestial Plane.

After a time that seemed to be at around half an hour, Kurohana, who was pushing her speed to the limits of 55 light years per second, finally saw a plane come into her view.

This plane was unlike her own plane which was like a massive white cube, oh no, that was just her own tastes. The plane that was in front of her was quite open, as the plane was an island floating along the Celestial Plane.

On this island were multiple flora that radiated a myriad of colors. On its center was a pagoda that took a quarter of the island's surface area as it was 99 meters in height.

Hovering a few hundred meters away from this plane, Kurohana released her killing intent that was suppressed for a while now after recognizing the stick with Aurus being the stick blessed by the Goddess of Kinship.

In an instant, a corporeal red aura enveloped the whole island, dying everything in a shade of red. Although Kurohana was a master in the law of reincarnation that affected part of the law of appearance, the killing intent she showed at the moment was in fact, all of the killing intent she had accumulated from even before she became a Goddess.

"Familia, you bitch! Come out at this instant!" As Kurohana shouted these words, her voice could be heard throughout the plane in front of her, alerting the God...or rather, the Goddess in charge of the plane.

Whoosh!

In an instant, multiple crimson red tendrils that looked like vines that oozed blood, suddenly appeared on the top of the pagoda as it extended towards where Kurohana was, only stopping a few meters before her. After that, the blood red tendrils condensed into a giant cocoon, before revealing a stunning woman who wore a flamboyant red dress. This dress complemented her red irises and her ruby red lips. This woman was the Goddess of Kinship, Familia.

"Ara ara...what are you doing here, Kurohana? Shouldn't you be in your plane controlling the reincarnation paths of the lower living beings?" Familia looked at Kurohana from head to toe before asking this question. She ignored the fact that Kurohana called her a bitch.

Seeing that Familia acted oblivious, acting as if she did not know what she did in Kurohana's special world, Kurohana could not help but let out a sigh as she condensed the killing intent she radiated throughout the plane a while ago onto Familia.

At this moment, Kurohana's irises turned crimson red, showing the other side of her bipolar personality, her cruel and tyrannical personality.

"Oh? You act as if you know nothing about what you did? The fact that you had the audacity to nurture a material in my special world?" Kurohana flew closer towards Familia, which made the pressure Familia feel become stronger with every passing second.

"Eh? That was your world?" In an instant, Familia's eyes widened as she let out a confused and surprised expression before asking. "I thought it was just some Lesser God or Goddess' world, so I didn't hesitate to procure a material there."

Of course, being one of the Goddesses that held one of the important laws, they wanted to get closer to the limit of strength and power, which was basically at the level of the Almighty Creator, the one that gave birth to them and everything around them.

Although crafting a weapon did not really improve the power they wield with their bodies, it still boosted their combat power.

Noticing that Familia gave off a feeling that she did not really know that she intruded into Kurohana's world, Kurohana felt confused as well before retracting her killing intent. Not long after, her irises turned black, which completed the previous look she had that radiated unparalleled beauty.

Letting out a sigh, Kurohana then said and placed her hand on Familia's shoulder. "Since it seems like it's an honest mistake, I'll allow your material nurturing just this once. Don't let the other gods know about my world, okay?"

Familia heard Kurohana's statement and instantly became focused and nodded her head with a smile. "Don't you worry! I promise that I won't spread it, ever!"

After hearing Familia promise to not divulge her secrets, Kurohana let out a light smile and reverted back to her previous appearance she showed Aurus. "Alright. I'll be off then."

Facing her back towards Familia not long after that, she zoomed back to her place at a speed of 50 light years per second as her mind was now at ease.

Familia looked at the fleeting silhouette of Kurohana with a smile before letting out a light chuckle. Within this chuckle were extremely grim thoughts which were thoroughly hidden from Kurohana.

Heading back to her pagoda, Familia said to herself, "To think that that bitch became aware of my material's existence. I wonder how shocked and infuriated she would be if she knew how many gods know the existence of her special procurement world?"

Conjuring a chair out of blood red tendrils before manipulating an orb to come close to her, she could not help but smile as she looked at the image within the orb, showing an image of a stick with red engravings all over its body, currently dashing through a corridor.

"Hehehe...with this stick as my catalyst, I think I can surpass the limit of power a Law can wield."

"Would it perhaps reach the level of an Immortal Verdict?"
