Nickname: Akashiya Moka
Level: Purple
Description: Vampire Progenitor
Reward: Third Magic
...
"The Third Magic..."
Looking at the reward he'd obtained from unlocking Akashiya Moka's entry, Lin's gaze sharpened, a pleasant surprise blooming in his heart.
A product of the Type-Moon World.
The Third Magic represents the 'Future that is Received,' a magic that achieves true agelessness and immortality.
It allows the wielder to materialize their soul.
Soul materialization can be seen as turning the soul into a perpetual motion machine, thereby gaining an endless supply of magical energy.
Magical energy represents life force.
Infinite magical energy means infinite life.
Ageless, immortal, with infinite energy.
The soul ascends to become a 'higher-dimensional lifeform,' an existence akin to a god, freed from the shackles of the flesh.
As long as the soul is not destroyed,
the body can be recreated even if it's turned to dust.
The body can be shaped into any form.
It could be considered a different kind of Seventy-Two Transformations.
It is said that after mastering the Third Magic, one even gains the ability to materialize the souls of others.
With these effects, the power of the Third Magic was clear.
Although the ageless and immortal effect overlapped with that of the Silver Kingship, the other abilities did not.
For instance, infinite energy.
After obtaining the Seven Kingships, although the Aura in his body was plentiful and he generally wouldn't run out of 'blue,' it was ultimately finite.
It required time to recover after being consumed.
With infinite energy, he no longer had to worry about that problem.
As expected of a Purple-level entry, obtaining the Third Magic was a delightful surprise for Lin.
He wondered, given the value of the Third Magic, what tier it was considered among Purple-level rewards.
It felt like it should be at least mid-tier.
With these thoughts, Lin returned to his residence.
Twenty minutes later, in his bedroom.
He shut the door and windows tight and drew the curtains.
Lin sat cross-legged on the floor, deployed his Sanctuary to envelop himself, closed his eyes, and began to claim the Third Magic.
Crack—
A sound like roaring thunder echoed in his ears, shaking Lin's mind.
He then felt a strange power, carrying an immortal aura, awaken and resurrect from the depths of his soul.
This power spread rapidly.
From nothing to something, from one to ten thousand.
Lin could see his own soul from a god's-eye view.
It was almost completely transparent, its appearance no different from his physical self.
Except it was unclothed.
A golden radiance bloomed from the center of his soul's chest, and golden veins of varying thickness formed within its body.
They spread throughout like blood vessels.
Similar to Magic Circuits,
but clearly of a higher grade.
As countless golden veins spread throughout, his originally illusory soul solidified at a visible rate.
A golden divine light, haloed in a violet glow, enveloped his entire soul.
Sacred and solemn, pure and immortal.
Supreme and inviolable, impossible to look at directly.
All sorts of divine auras swirled around him, as if a supreme god had descended upon the world.
The moment his soul completed its materialization, the strange power spread outward, extending to his physical body.
Lin had a feeling.
He could now freely shape the form of his physical body.
Numerous thoughts arose.
Lin made an instant decision.
He would control this power to strengthen his physical body.
He would use the 'immortal soul' as a template to forge a 'perfect body' that could match it.
Once he set his mind to it,
the Sword of Damocles representing the Gold Kingship suddenly bloomed with golden light, releasing the power of its Kingship.
The attribute of this Kingship is 'Fate.'
It can maximize a person's talents, bringing them to their peak.
When the Gold Kingship unleashed its power, the other six Kingships responded in kind, their powers erupting.
"What's this?!"
This change startled Lin, and he began to feel a sense of anticipation.
Under his 'gaze,' the powers of the Seven Kingships actually began to intertwine with the power of the Third Magic.
His materialized soul changed once more.
A violet-gold wheel of light materialized behind him.
At the same time, the cells of his body began to transmute, and his physical form started to sublimate.
His bones became as clear as crystal, gleaming with a jade-like luster.
His muscle fibers emanated a golden light, containing immense divine power.
His heart beat powerfully, producing violet-gold particles that began to transform his red blood bit by bit.
And the changes didn't stop there.
Lin could clearly sense that the fusion of the Seven Kingships, which had been proceeding at a steady pace, began to accelerate continuously.
Before, it would have taken about half a month.
At this rate, it might not even take three days.
And the time was still shortening.
Lin hadn't expected the Third Magic to bring about so many changes. It was a pleasant surprise.
He eagerly awaited the completion of his transformation.
In the bedroom, Lin's body was constantly being reshaped and transformed.
Various lights flickered across his form.
No other disturbances were generated that might cause trouble.
Formless time drifted by like a gentle breeze, gone in a flash.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The transformation, from the inside out, was complete.
Lin, who had been sitting cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
"I'm terrifyingly strong now!"
Sensing the various changes within himself, he couldn't help but exclaim.
His soul had materialized, becoming a 'higher-dimensional lifeform.'
His body had sublimated, now comparable to his immortal soul, like the body of a god.
The Seven Kingships had completely fused, becoming a more powerful ability.
Both his soul and body had transcended the mortal, reaching the domain of gods.
The Third Magic's attribute of immortality merged with the Silver Kingship's attribute of immutability, causing his undying nature to evolve.
Lin felt that no one in the current world could kill him anymore.
At least within the known worldviews, he didn't know anyone who could truly kill him as he was now.
Not even planet-busting beings.
Besides his survivability, his combat power had also skyrocketed by hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
If, before this transformation, his destructive power in a normal state was only at the so-called town-destroying level,
now, it was at the nation-destroying level.
He possessed the great power to destroy a country in a short amount of time.
Of course, Lin wasn't exactly sure how strong he was now, since he hadn't tested it in actual combat.
The so-called nation-destroying level was just a rough estimate he made based on a before-and-after comparison.
He raised his right hand and opened his fingers.
Seven miniature Swords of Damocles appeared out of thin air, hovering and slowly rotating above his palm.
If a being with powerful perception were here,
they would surely sense the terrifying power contained within these seven miniature Swords of Damocles.
Once unleashed, it seemed they could easily destroy all things in the world.
Sensing the new ability born from the fusion of the Seven Kingships, Lin thought for a moment and gave it a name.
[Supreme Kingship]
Meaning the supreme among Kings.
Of course, the name didn't matter, as long as it was strong enough.
He clenched his right fist, and the miniature Swords of Damocles dissipated.
Lin stood up, stretched, and murmured:
"It's a shame the Codex of All Things isn't a System; I can't check my own status information to understand the changes whenever I want."
"Hm?!"
A notification came from the Codex of All Things.
Lin summoned the Codex with a thought and turned to the first page.
Some information had appeared on it.
Nickname: Lin
Level: A+ (Nation-destroying)
Abilities: Supreme Kingship, Third Magic
Items: Divine Drag-Ride, Bahamut
...
"My status information!"
Seeing this, Lin was somewhat surprised.
As expected of his golden finger, giving him just what he wanted.
Could it be that the Codex of All Things is intelligent?
Lin tried to communicate with it, but to no avail.
It seemed the 'status panel' that had just appeared was likely a hidden function of the Codex of All Things.
After all, since it was a codex, it was reasonable for it to have such a capability.
