"Why don't we check what skills we got from these bosses?" Aaric suggested and took out the skill scrolls he had gotten.
Luna was still clinging to him, seemingly in her own world, while Daphne was red as a tomato. Aaric got no reply.
"Let's see... oh! Ultimate Skills, Necronomicon and Immortality," Aaric exclaimed as he inspected the skill scrolls.
Aaric tilted his head to the side a little and was met with Luna's face just beside his. "Come down, Angel, these skills seem useful," Aaric whispered, and she complied with a smile.
Aaric then went to Daphne and lifted her chin with his finger. "Come on, Love," he said and held her hand.
Luna joined in as well, and they formed a circle with the skill scrolls between them.
{Analyzing}
The three of them heard in their heads when they activated the skill scrolls.
{Necronomicon Identified} {Necromancy spells and knowledge are integrated with Insight Architect}
{ |Thought Acceleration| |Universal Perception| |Mental Crush| |All of Creation| |Multilayer Barrier| have been analysed and integrated with Insight Architect}
{Requirement to evolve Insight Architect have been met}
The three looked at each other when they heard this notification in their heads.
{Dimensional isolation recommended}
They heard, and Luna closed her eyes before all six of her wings manifested on her back and formed a dark barrier around them. Daphne's cloak manifested on her as well and added a green sheen to the barrier to help further.
{Achieved}
Aaric was about to add his touch as well, but it seemed it was not necessary, and they were away from prying eyes.
{Requirement: A large amount of Divine energy, pertaining to the divine nature of the host. Permission required for use of Host's energy}
"Will my energy be enough?" Aaric asked out loud after a little bit of thought.
{Affirmative, energy required is minuscule compared to the host's reserve. The energy will be replenished by the Host's energy regeneration before the evolution completes}
Aaric nodded. "You two ask the same question as well," he told Daphne and Luna, Assuming they had gotten the same request and they did as he asked.
"It says it will be more than enough," Daphne asked, and Luna nodded as well, indicating she got a similar answer.
"Proceed," Aaric said out loud, followed by Luna and Daphne.
All three of them felt a reserve of energy in their bodies that was more dense and powerful than any magic they had ever conceived in their minds. They felt a river of energy being taken from the ocean that started replenishing itself just as the energy was taken.
{Evolving}
{Accessing data from the Voice of the World}
{Bypassing permission requirements with Divine Authority}
{Analyzing and gaining information from divine energy itself and the divine authorities of the host}
{Information gathering complete}
{Evolution into Ultimate Skill: Mani-Bindu, Lord of the Jewel complete}
Aaric heard in his mind, and he noticed the voice in his mind became more refined and human-like.
'Tell me what this skill can do,' Aaric asked in his mind.
{The Ultimate Skill, Mani-Bindu, Lord of the Jewel, is the apex of the Wisdom-type skills category. It represents absolute conceptual authority over Essence, the Cosmic Ledger (the universe's record of existence), and the perfect execution of Law. With the addition of Divine energy, the physical realm will bend to your will. Evolution into a god recommended to gain authority over higher dimensions like the Dreamlands}
'I don't have authority in the Dreamlands?' Aaric asked in his mind again.
{Not complete authority}
Aaric smiled wryly at that; it seemed his new skill dealt in complete absolutes.
{I ask for permission to help with the use of divine energy as I do with magical type energies}
'Do you have a will? even a seed of one?' Aaric asked.
{No, the request was made to facilitate maximum efficiency}
Aaric heard in his mind and accepted the request after a moment of thought.
"My skill is asking me for permission to help with the use of divine energy." Luna asked suddenly.
"Mine as well," Daphne added.
"Ask the skill if it has a will or even a seed of a will, and if it denies, accept the request," Aaric told them, squeezing their hands.
'What do you have a lower authority over the dreamlands?' Aaric asked in his mind.
{The dreamlands are a higher plane with more dimensions then the Waking-realm. The host needs to become a higher form of existence like a god for authority over the drealmands.}
{To continue with my abilities, I have the sub-skills called Cosmic Ledger Audit. It allows for the records of all realms below and dreamrealms and partial record authority over the dreamrealms as well}
{The sub-skill Essence Sovereignty: Grants me Absolute efficiency over the flow, conversion, and consumption of Essence, Magicules, and your divine energy as you have just given me permission. This will allow for the most efficient use of all your energies for the best effect}
{Law Synthesis (Nāga Kalpa): Utilizing the authority of the Cosmic Ledger, the user can instantly synthesize and enforce temporary, localized Conceptual Laws. This ability allows the user to dictate the rules within a specific area, such as declaring an absolute mandate like "Temporal acceleration is forbidden here," or "All spiritual defense layers are temporarily inverted." This sovereignty bypasses all beings in the material realms and weaker beings in the dreamrealms}
"Holy shit," Aaric muttered out loud and heard three voices; it seems the other two had their holy shit moment the same time as him.
{The second ultimate skill: immortality has been used for information as you have a higher level of immortality than this skill can provide}
Mani-Bindu added, and Aaric stated, "At this point, I am just going to sit and think for a little bit."
The girls mirrored his expression and hugged his arms on both sides before a couch was created in the isolated dimension. Luna buried her face in Aaric's neck, and Daphne rested her head on his chest and held him tight. The three of them just sat and thought as Aaric held them by the waist.
"What is your skill's name?" Aaric asked, looking ahead as the question was for both of them.
"Moira Kratos, Lord of Sovereignty," Luna said, tickling Aaric a little as her face was buried in his neck.
"Kemet Ma'at, King of Perfect Structure," Daphne added and adjusted her face for better comfort on Aaric's chest.
They then explained what the skills could do, and it was basically the same as what Aaric's skill could do.
"It seems we got skills on the level of Origin Skills because of the use of divine energy," Aaric said, still holding them.
"Makes sense," Daphne said. "How about we stop the Labyrinth exploration for now and go somewhere for a real date?" she asked suddenly, looking up and holding Aaric's face.
Aaric ran his hand above her waist in a comforting manner. "Let's go then," Aaric said, and the three of them appeared in their inn room.
"Let's bathe and change before we go out," Aaric said.
"Yes, come then," Luna said and started tugging Aaric to the bath with her.
"Not now, Angel," Aaric said and slapped her butt, making her pout as she went to the bath alone.
"What have you done to her?" Daphne asked Aaric in accusation after Luna entered the bath.
"Oh! How about I demonstrate what I did," Aaric said mischievously, holding her by the thighs and picking her up.
Daphne yelped and wrapped her legs around Aaric's waist and hit his chest as he kissed her deeply.
"I hate you," she muttered and hugged Aaric after the kiss ended.
"I love you too," Aaric said, holding and caressing her.
A/n: Well, give me your thoughts on the chapter.
And power stones, all of them.
