’Absolute Indomitability ’ and Indomitable Wall seem like skills that are pretty much impossible to win against. No wonder he beat Uranus with ease... even I don’t know what I would do against such an attack. Is it even possible to win against him?’
[Indeed, it is possible.]
’Oh? How so?’
[Boons of primordials, along with all other skills and abilities cast using mana on Fell-Terra, are manifestations of the intention and ambition of a consciousness.]
Before Midas even continued onto the next panel, a thought shot into his head. His eyelids expanded with surprise as his brain raced to put pieces of a puzzle together.
’I see! If that’s the case, any ability will have to be manifested through intention and ambition of consciousness... I have no clue what that means, but once one reaches the Aspect Tier, they must gain the ability to manifest an ability somehow. Now... I just need to figure out if there are any specifications with the abilities you can gain.’ He thought, letting the system continue.
[Primordial boons are many tiers above any ability given on Fell-Terra, as primordial boons succeed the power of this planet as a whole. Their potential is above star level.]
’W-what!? This entire planet? And what in the world is star level!?’
[Hmhmhm...] The system seemed to chuckle.
’Odd... you’ve never done that before...’
[Primordial boons work slightly differently from other abilities for this reason. Boons are an absolute law in the world of skills. However, the only thing that can defeat a boon is bad luck, another boon, or a higher spiritual tier entirely.]
’Hmm...’
[But, you must also remember... a butterfly flies not because its wings propel it, but rather, the wind allows it. One must understand the foundation of all abilities and boons. Once one does, he will also understand that without wind, a butterfly can not fly. But with wind... it can do much more than fly.]
Midas was almost blown away by this information. Of course, hearing the system speak so poetically was amazing too.
But more so than that, Midas somehow seemed to find a clear answer in this confusing statement.
’The butterfly must stand for myself, and the wind... the cause behind the manifestation of boons and abilities! And that manifestation is none other than intention and ambition!’ He thought to himself.
[Correct! In simpler terms, one may be able to overpower another boon with a boon of his own, which counters the other boon, or is not nullified by it. A weaker boon has a chance to overpower a stronger one if the user has more intention and ambition, or in other words, spiritual energy. However, a powerful and law-creating boon such as Absolute Indomitability can not be overpowered by willpower alone. It must be accompanied with a powerful boon that succeeds Absolute Indomitability in terms of spiritual potential. Or, one’s spiritual tier must surpass the spiritual potential of the one using Absolute Indomitability.]
[If one is superior in spiritual tier to another, his spiritual law supersedes the law of even a primordials boon most of the time. It all comes down to spiritual superiority.]
’Wow... that is a lot of information to take in,’ Midas thought to himself, amazed. However, he was not complaining. Knowing all of this was very useful to him.
’What is my boon? I am a player, so I have been granted one by the primordials as well, right?’ He asked straightforwardly. He didn’t see any reason why the system would have to keep it from him.
[Sure. All players are granted immediate access to knowledge of their boons automatically.]
’Huh? I never was, though...’ Midas thought.
[Searching for boon...]
[Found!]
Midas’s eyebrows drew closer as he waited for the system to speak.
[Midas’s Boon: G??--
[ERROR!]
’What!?’ Midas thought, his brows furrowed with confusion.
[Searching for boon...]
’Huh? Again?’
[Found!]
[Midas’s Boon: ???’? Mind.]
[ERROR]
[Unable to receive information on [Player’s Boon].]
’Tsk... how annoying. So you’re telling me that out of all players on this planet, I am the only one who happens to have his boon information glitched?’ Midas shook his head in frustration.
’Whatever... It’s probably my ability to use blueprints to create my base or something like that. Or maybe it’s my leveling system...’ He thought, brushing the thought off for now.
’Anyways!’ He shouted inwardly, ’Now that I’ve seen all their stats, I can pin them against each other to observe their ability in person!’
"All three of you! Spread out, and prepare to start battle! You are not allowed to viciously injure each other, but prepare for a scramble with most of your might!" Midas roared, the three quickly jumping apart to follow his directions.
"Begin!" Midas roared without hesitation, driving his arm down swiftly from above his head.
Uranus immediately created his Power Sword, running into battle.
He saw Dorhal afar, standing still. Glancing around, Bzzrt was nowhere to be seen.
’I’ll go for Dorhal first!’ Uranus shouted in his head, optimistic.
In the blink of an eye, a massive red mosquito was inches away from his vision.
"Wha--?" Uranus couldn’t even get a word. He felt a painful laceration across the side of his body.
Bzzrt slammed one of his legs into the troll from a distance.
Uranus was thrust down onto one knee, but quickly rose up.
"Power Fold!" He roared, adding the amount of Bzzrt’s physical and mental ability onto himself. He lunged forward with a massive Power Sword.
The blade was now three times the length of the mosquito.
Uranus slashed at Bzzrt, but the insect zipped up into the air before the attack could land.
In a fraction of a moment, however, Uranus appeared right in front of Bzzrt. He swung his sword down, the energy blade clashing with Bzzrt’s back.
The blade clanged against the hard shell of the insect, but Bzzrt was flung into the ground with a massive explosion of dust.
Midas’s eyelids widened slightly with surprise.
’Whoa... Uranus is no joke. His ability to fold his power upwards is not to be underestimated. Since he took Bzzrt’s insane speed, he must be close to twice as fast as the mosquito now...’ He thought to himself, continuing to watch with amazement.
Uranus chuckled with pride as he dropped down to the floor. As the dust settled, only Bzzrt’s imprint could be seen on the ground.
Uranus immediately turned, noticing Bzzrt floating dozens of feet in the air.
The mosquito had a fierce look in its eyes.
’Hmph! Lord Midas has seen me fall once before... it shall not happen again!’ He fortified his mind fearsomely.
Uranus smirked, lunging into the air with his sword at his side. He soared dozens of feet up, reaching Bzzrt in seconds.
"Arrogant!" Bzzrt shouted, turning his back. ’Flame Blast!’ He roared inwardly as a giant red and orange explosion of fire thrusted out of him.
The flame shot him across the air like a massive slingshot aimed right at Uranus.
However, Uranus did not falter. He continued his path upward, his blade reared to strike.
Bzzrt began to spin his body as he soared down through the air.
’Iron Drill!’ He roared inwardly.
Bzzrt’s body began to spin so fast that it no longer resembled an insect. Rather, it resembled a massive red pinecone, spinning at a lethal velocity that shredded through the air.
His mandible poked out from the front, a fierce and sharp object.
As Uranus neared the mosquito, his face retracted with fear. He turned pale, time seeming to slow down for him as his mind raced.
’This attack... It’s insanely powerful. Even if I had three times the power... I don’t think I could take it on. I may die here!’ A terrifying energy consumed him.
It was the devastating killing intent of Bzzrt. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Midas furrowed his eyebrows, ’Bzzrt... don’t take it too far.’ He thought inwardly.
Just as the two came feet from making contact, a powerful voice roared through the air.
"Ouuuf!" Dorhal shouted, grabbing his broadsword and stretching his right foot forward, ’Heavy... Lunge!’ He said inwardly.
