The Empyreal Gem Master

Too many shocking boons unfolded before him.

Far too many!

A new Core Feature.

The Elevation of previous Core Features!

A single one alone would have been more than enough of a boon from him reaching the Void Ruler stage.

For an example.

He could now enact a second Enneagram Clone, and the power would even be 150% of his original body!

What did this mean?

With just a single Enneagram Clone, he had the equivalent power of two Void Rulers.

Now, he would have three!

He was alone, and yet one of him equated to three Void Rulers!

And this was just a single thing.

Three hundred percent increased rate of understanding and assimilation for every single Covenant of Nature that he held.

What did this mean?

It was a 1,800% increased rate of understanding and assimilation of any Covenant of Nature!

There was the ridiculous expansion of the authority of the Core Feature of The Investigator, and Alexander could already feel it whipping out and covering all of Ephesus.

All of it!

He couldn't personally sense everything with that 100,000-mile region, but he could tell that all of Ephesus was contained in it!

And then, there was a new feature. The Challenger!

Looking at this, Alexander was entirely stumped as he didn't know exactly how ridiculous this feature was bound to be until he experienced it.

But there was much more to be understood as even more waves of information and changes were grasped and understood by his body.

||The Gem Constellation- Golden Tree of Old, Yggdrasil, has transformed to become the Covenant Tree Sapling, Yggdrasil.||

||Limited Nature Manipulation has transformed to become Greater Nature Manipulation.||

||Through the Gem Constellation, Covenant Tree Sapling, Yggdrasil, it is possible to obtain the Covenant of Life once a sufficient amount of Ascendant Energiea has been utilized to nurture it.||

||The Gem Constellation- Endless Glacial Sun, has transformed to become the Covenant Glacial Sea||

||The Glacial Armor of the Deep has transformed to become the Lesser Covenant Armor.||

||Through the Gem Constellation, Covenant Glacial Sea, it is possible to obtain the Covenant of Water once a sufficient amount of Ascendant Energiea has been utilized to nurture it.||

…!

One after another!

Two Gem Constellations were heavily elevated as one of his Covenants became fully assimilated, each one attaining the term of a [Covenant] in its distinction as through them…Alexander could actually obtain another Covenant.

This was a terrifying truth.

The Gem Constellation he forged from sacrificing his Gem Recipes…could give him access to grasp even more Covenants of Nature!

And this was just two.

He closed his eyes as the voice of the Enneagram rang out once more, this time expressing the changes of his third Gem Constellation!

||The Gem Constellation- Halcyon Stanchion of Light, has transformed to become the Covenant Stanchion of Light.||

||The speed of your movements and attacks has been reinforced and augmented by the Covenant Stanchion of Light, increasing your speed to become a hundredth the speed of light.||

||Under the Nature Defiance inherent ability, Limited Vacuum Adaptation has been transformed into Greater Vacuum Adaptation. You are freely capable of surviving in the vacuum of space and other domains that lower level life forms cannot inhabit. The Vacuum of Space is akin to a home for you.||

||Through the Gem Constellation, Covenant Stanchion of Light, it is possible to obtain the Covenant of Light once a sufficient amount of Ascendant Energiea has been utilized to nurture it.||

"..."

He was silent.

He had to be silent!

A hundredth the speed of light.

That was 1% the Speed of Light!

That was nearly 3 million meters he could cover every single second.

That was 1,863 miles he could cover…every single second!

"..."

His throat felt dry.

Because this simply seemed over the top.

The capability of this single Gem Constellation far exceeded all others by his account as with it…he could cover over 111,769 Miles in under a minute.

All of Ephesus, no matter how massive it had grown- he could cover it all in under a minute!

His body felt like it was itching.

He wanted to do it.

He wanted to try it!

He wanted to know!

But before that…

His eyes became fierce as he called out.

"Instant Replacement."

WUU!

Blinding gold light shone as a new feature was put to use.

A few tens of thousand miles away, the gaze of Ezraela was stern as her hair whipped around chaotically, looking towards the figure of Alexander that had undergone a great change out of nowhere!

A dazzling golden sea had stretched out around him as by the time it died down with its brilliance and his figure was revealed once more…

He had changed far too much.

His hair was fully shining with a radiant gold luster.

His pupils were like golden gems that instantly honed in on her!

Ezraela felt her danger senses tingling as she adopted a battle stance, but Alexander's oppressive aura was slowly collected back into himself as he nodded with a smile.

"Sorry about that, I just had a little enlightenment. Let's keep going."

…!

His voice was mesmerizing as at this moment, it wasn't even his main body here- but his Enneagram Clone!

Ezraela looked at him as if she could notice the small changes and intricacies, but in the end, she didn't ask.

Because even with this change, he had not expressed anything different compared to what he said before, with their path still being one of continuing forward!

So she floated ahead as her eyes lingered on the ground below them where everything- even the trees, were solidified gold.

A few tens of thousand miles away, Alexander's Main Body floated in the clear skies where his sea of gold had actually pushed away the gray mist, his eyes overlooking the expanse of transformed earth down below that also radiated golden grandeur as he breathed out.

The rapid exploration of Ephesus would unfold soon, but he had to finish his preparations first.

So…

"Forge the second Enneagram Clone."

His chest flashed with brightness as he started forging another Void Ruler!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
