Paths, the very creation of my own.
By combining all the powers I have earned about controlling the System, and then adding the possibility of fusing System Functions together without being hindered by limits, I have created the Path.
The Path is a special power within my very Soul, something that cannot be easily suppressed, even if the System were to stop functioning around me, the power that I get from the Path Board would never go away.
After all, the System might have borrowed power, but the Path Board is my own creation and part of my very soul.
The Path Board is an endless Board that represents my very soul, it has countless Orifices where I can fit Path Jewels and acquire Skill Trees of such Paths.
Path Jewels can be created through a variety of methods, most easily done through the fusion of Skills, Classes, Titles, and more, and by spending large quantities of Divine Skill Points.
After all of such powers are merged into one, a Path Jewel is born.
The Path Jewel, when inserted inside a Path Orifice within my Path Board, will merge with my Soul, and grant me the endless powers within it.
Such powers are endless, however, they needed energy and resources to be unlocked and strengthened.
This means, even more, Skill Points!
Path Jewels are also limited by Ranks, my current Ranks of Divinity.
However, I can raise them through these Ranks as I pour more Divine Skill Points into them.
I believe that I can also upgrade them using Divine Materials, but I would need to try them out first, and I am not in the mood for that.
There are several ways to create a Path Jewel.
The first method and easiest method is to fuse several already existing Skills, Titles, Classes, and more while pouring a certain amount of Skill Points into it to form one.
The second method is to create a Path Jewel from only one single Skill, which would create its own Skill Tree, however, this one is more complicated, and it shouldn't be worth it unless I do it with Path Jewels Skill Trees Abilities, branching them over and over.
And the third method is to create a Path Jewel without any other existing power being used, simply by spending a ton of Skill Points and using my own imagination to create it, this would be like an advanced Skill Creation, which would give birth to a new Path Jewel instead of a Skill.
Unlike the other two methods, this one uses the most Skill Points.
However, I will be doing the first method for a while now, as it is more convenient for me.
Now back to the main topic, time to use Skill Points in my newly acquired Monarch of Gluttony Path Jewel!
This Path Jewel encompasses everything devouring and slaying-related, making it the ultimate Uroboros and Devour Skill, possessing several Abilities that I can boost independently and even branch for even more Skill Trees!
It should be a good idea to check their descriptions first though.
[1st Branch]
[Gluttonous Primordial Beast: Neo Uroboros (000/100)]: As one that has harnessed the power of Ouroboros and Gluttony with their soul, your Soul has the properties of devouring anything as long as you have enough power to do so, additional power can be acquired from anything you devour, such as Stats, Skill Points, Dungeon Points, and more.
Additional Abilities:
[Chaotic Annihilator of Divinities (0/30)]
Passive Effect: Enhances the user's damage dealt with all types of living and unliving beings, while doubling damage dealt against any being that possesses Divine Power, this calculation grows as you increase the level of this Ability.
Active Effect: Unleashes your Chaotic and monstrous soul to deal large amounts of damage against any living and unliving being that you target as your foe, this power can be shaped as you desire, and be combined with other Abilities and Skills.
[Gluttonous Divinity Feasting (0/30)]
Passive Effect: Enhances the user's damage against beings that possess Divine Power, alongside increasing the efficiency in which the user can draw and assimilate all the power of the Divine Beings it devours, more Skill Points, Dungeon Points, and other Stats can be acquired by eating such entities.
Active Effect: Creates a large Domain where everything that enters that is not qualified as an ally will begin to be eaten alive, receiving constant damage and the drain of their energy.
[Monstrous Self-Consumption and Renewal (0/30)]
Passive Effect: Enhances Soul Self-Regeneration by 100%, and enhances all of the Soul Capabilities while using any Ability from the [Monarch of Gluttony] Path.
Active Effect: Gives you the power to employ your soul to devour itself, generating a large boost in all of your capabilities while giving you a constant self-regeneration of your soul, anything that touches your soul that is not qualified as an ally will immediately begin to be consumed.
[Monstrous Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring (0/30)]
Passive Effect: Enhances all the Abilities within the [Monarch of Gluttony] Path by 100%, and increases the effectiveness and digestion of anything you eat, giving you the power to virtually consume everything.
Active Effect: Unleashes the deepest abyssal monster of your soul, generating endless amounts of dark maws that can deal large amounts of damage, while permanently taking apart pieces of any target that you can immediately eat and gain power from, by being combined with all the other Abilities from the [Monarch of Gluttony] Path, you can unleash an even greater attack.
…
Amazing…
These are really super boosted versions of all the powers I once had!
However, like Divine Techniques, to use them, I spend… Divine Energy!
Agh, now this will become a problem.
Or not?
Wait, not at all.
It is as if I had Infinite Divine Energy… right?
I mean, I can use my very soul to unleash these attacks, using my own divinity as fuel whenever the divine energy runs out.
And by eating myself… I can regenerate it.
So I have Infinite Divine Energy.
Well, I already kind of had before even becoming a Living Deity.
But that was only with those crappy spells that could mirror the power of a Divine Technique a little bit.
However, this… this thing is insane, these attacks are probably even better than any Divine Technique.
But when I use my Divine Energy, I can more or less unleash the true power of these Abilities, so whenever I use my Divinity itself to fuel them, the power will decrease by around 50%…
A fair enough trade, I will begin to immediately stockpile Divine Energy Crystals then.
Divine Energy Crystals can be generated by crystallizing the power of your Divine Energy.
Much like Mana, you have a limit of how much Divine Energy you can have.
But you can stockpile this excess Divine Energy by crystalizing it to use for later, this way, you can keep regenerating it while also forming a new stack of these.
And yeah, you cannot exceed your max amount, but whenever you have used a lot, you can generate back with these crystals!
However, generating them takes its time.
And it also is not as good, because you end up spending 10.000 Divine Energy to end up with a Divine Energy Crystal that can only regenerate 5.000… so you lose half of it in the process of materialization.
But still, it is pretty good.
Oh yeah, there are different types of Divine Energy Crystals too.
There are your own, which are tainted with your divinity and can only be used by you (if anyone other than you consume them, they will be negatively affected as it happened with Kheseerad), and then there are the "Market" Divine Energy Crystals, these ones take even longer to make, and cost even more Divine Energy, but you can use them as currency in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop!
Anyways, I will just make both at the same time, I got a ton of Divine Energy compared to others.
I can create five Divine Energy Crystals of both types every… ten days?!
That's a lot of time…
But yeah, I left my Origin Core doing it automatically.
That is how convenient this boy is!
Anyways, back to the Path Abilities, time to max them out!
And damn.
Already got into something bad.
Well, not so bad, but still, annoying.
I cannot use discounts for Path Jewels!
Why?!
Oh…
Is this because this power comes from my soul and not the System?
Oh, I see, I see.
As I was explained previously, the System pays the rest for me when I use the Almighty Discount!
But in this thing as the Paths, it does not work because the System cannot intervene with it, it is my own power.
It shows in the System for an easy way to understand it, but the System cannot change it nor affect it.
I mean that is its biggest plus, that even if the System is suppressed, this power is still mine, so I guess it's fine!
Alright…
One Level costs 10.000 Divine Skill Points.
And I need 220 Levels… which would be… 2.200.000 Divine Skill Points…
That's quite a lot.
But it's worth it!
This is, after all, my true power, belonging to my very soul, nothing can take it away now.
Time to spend it all then!
Ding!
[You exchanged 2.200.000 Divine Skill Points!]
[Path Ability Levels have increased!]
[Gluttonous Primordial Beast: Neo Uroboros (000/100) > (100/100)]
Additional Abilities:
[Chaotic Annihilator of Divinities (0/30) > (30/30]
[Gluttonous Divinity Feasting (0/30) > (30/30)]
[Monstrous Self-Consumption and Renewal (0/30) > (30/30]
[Monstrous Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring (0/30) > (30/30)]
[You have Maxed Out all Abilities!]
[You can now Open More Branches within the Additional Abilities of the Path Jewel!]
[All of your Stats have increased!]
I did it…
And oh boy, my stats also increased.
Although my Stats raised, my Attribute Particles or Primordial Essence did not.
Well, this is quite obvious, as I simply used the power of my soul to strengthen myself.
It was not any external power aside from the Divine Skill Points, which were also Divine Energy transmuted into this energy.
Now I can really feel it though, this immense power.
Maxing the first branch of this Path Jewel Skill Tree had bought me a ton of power.
It is as if I had finally awakened and improved my original devouring power.
And did it said something about being able to eat anything now?
Well, that's nuts.
I wonder what was that I always wanted to eat but could not?
Maybe I should try to eat space itself?
…No, that might be too complicated, wouldn't it be?
I mean, I would be able, but that might provoke some black hole and a lot of trouble.
Can I eat a black hole?
Theoretically, I can, but would I be able to assimilate the power?
Most likely not, I would probably explode.
Maybe something smaller.
Eating the sun?
Hm.
No that might also be a bit too complicated.
Still, I believe I am not yet at the level of eating a whole planet either, but I might get to there soon if I keep powering up!
Now, I can see if I can get more branches in this Path Jewel.
Just as I had said, it is possible to keep upgrading them infinitely.
Although, yeah, there is still a limit, my Rank.
I cannot get them a Rank higher than me, so the branches will simply add more abilities but will not be Rank 2 Living Deity, for that, I gotta simply increase my cultivation.
Honestly, I am content with what I got now, I should fabricate more Path Jewels…
But now that I got the Origin Core, I will leave the work to it.
Yeah, I can leave it to automatically convert all of my Skills, Blessings, Curses, Titles, and Classes into Path Jewels.
It will consume Divine Skill Points, of course, but I told it to stop at four until tomorrow.
It is now calculating what could be the best components for a Path Jewel, so I will leave it on auto for now, as I join back with my family and enjoy the rest of the day exploring my Divine Realm and eating exotic Divine Beasts that roam around.
