Just outside of the intergalactic customs on Belka, I looked around. I stood out among the throngs of different aliens, of that there was no doubt. It was strange, almost as if I was the alien here. Well, I was, so maybe it was normal. I threw those puzzling thoughts aside as I stared at the pristine metal prisms that formed an asymmetrical tower of steel. It flowed in my sight, however. It radiated a sense of strength despite the variety of formations and shapes that composed the building. On a plaque…-

I set Torix down after he healed, the aura spurring his meager natural regeneration. Torix tilted his head at me, “The Rise of Eden? It sounds like an advanced origin skill.” I raised a hand with two fingers nearly pinching, “Close. It’s an aura I got from my last armor evolution. Apparently, I’m a multiverse now. The way it works is that each mana type changes my current state of being. This is the one for my new mana type, quintessence.” Torix cupped his chin,…

After that display of mine, Transient fell in line. He wasn’t as cryptic with his hints or indirect with his phrasing. While I didn’t relish in threatening people, it sure got the job done sometimes. Especially after they made me vomit eyeballs, guilt wasn’t an issue. Man, who would’ve guessed? Sarcasm aside, Transient’s change in attitude didn’t fix my issues with Growth. This difficulty stemmed from several causes. The least obvious but most impactful being my trait – blood magic. It…

The sensation encompassed me as if I was standing in some tropical paradise. When I reached out with Event Horizon, it was a siphoning, choking kind of energy. It strangled the life around me, and that only made me stronger. This new aura lacked the same selfish intention, a subtle, blue tint covering the air. It was light and fluffy, a gentle sensation compared to Event Horizon. Some of that came from the difference in raw power. Event Horizon was just stronger in general than this new aura. Still,…

Around me, a room the size of a parking lot expanded outwards, all the walls white and blank. Glowing lines generated up and down the walls, creating squares of glowing light in the three-dimensional space. In front of me, an ethereal being floated with energy rippling across its shapeless form. Even if unseen, the entire expanse saturated with primordial mana and pulsed as if alive. The sheer volume was stunning, but it was docile kind of magic. Something filtered it, reducing its volatility from…

Caprika rolled her eyes under her red mask, “Such as?” I coughed into a hand, “Ahem, I’ll let you know later when I’ve let the ideas gestate for a bit…” Caprika laughed for a moment before turning back to her city, “Good luck with your goals. I’d offer more help, but I doubt I’d be of much use in that regard. Battle was never my forte, though I’ve already sent for the techsmith. He’ll be here in the hospital within the hour.” She raised a hand, “Ah yes, I took every…

I raised an eyebrow, “Wait, I’m seeing the Emperor right now?” Helios dragged his hand down his mask, “No. He’s busy. You have an appointed date for meeting two months from now.” I pointed at Helios, “Don’t act like I’m ridiculous here. What you said was misleading.” I turned to the Sentinel, “Isn’t that right?” The Sentinel uprooted his spears from the ground and swung them over his back, “Just leave. I’ll wait here until you’ve come up with a plan of action.”…

I hovered my hand over yes before turning to the others, “Guys. I’m probably going to look like I’m dying over here. Don’t worry too much about it. I’ll be fine.” Althea frowned, “What do you mean?” I took a deep breath, “It’s my next armor evolution. It’s been years, and something tells me it’s not going to be a simple, easy thing this time. It might take a while.” Helios raised his exposed eyebrow, “Evolution? Your armor evolves?” I nodded, “It’s about to…

As I stared, I analyzed him. He did not stop me from viewing his description. After seeing it, I understood why. He had no reason to hide anything to us. My stomach sank as Helios raised a hand, his gauntlets coalescing the blue tinted air near him. In a wave of devastation, he unleashed a wave of pure energy. The tide shifted into azure ice, spines of the magic racing towards Lehesion. The golden beast rolled his eyes, “This again? Do you have no other tricks, or are you actually this…

I turned towards the Overseer, “We’re going to need your help.” The Overseer nodded while lifting his hand overhead. He pinched his fingers together, a pulse of energy passing through the dirt. Light leaked onto us from above while I glanced up. He punched a hole through the rock in an instant. It was strange since the antimagic field had zero effect on him. Hmm, he might be using tech instead of magic. For some reason, I never even considered that. In fact, using tech and magic would diversify…
