William spent the next two weeks absorbing the Superior Chaos Vein, marking three fully absorbed Superior Veins out of the total twenty-eight.
The weakening from the Karma Elent upgrades had ended a few days prior, and William pushed it from SS to SSR, then X-Rank successfully, the only cost being another long period of weakness. Even the Karma Elent's consciousness that tried to break free couldn't do anything to his powerful body.
The downside was that in the process of the final two upgrades, William lost his connection with over a thousand people.
Surprisingly, he never lost the Karma Thread attached to his mother in this World, Misha, which was slightly thicker than he expected. Even though he had hardly spent any ti with the woman, William's Karma Thread was almost as large as Charlotte's, which made him wonder if it had sothing to do with the previous William.
William counted the number of Karma Threads in his Space Ring to be 688, then widened the System Panel and looked at the Karma Affinity.

TALENT UPGRADED
Karma Affinity (Mythic): (SSR --> X)
Effects:
-Karma-related Mana Control, Magic Power, and Mana Efficiency 1280% >> 2560%
X-Rank Bonus Effects:
-Domain of Karma: Take complete control over all Karmic Mana within a radius of 50 kiloters >> 100 kiloters. Can be countered by opponents with Karma Domains of greater strength.
-Territory of Karma: An improved Domain, designed to use enemies' negative Karma to inflict damage per second. The stronger the opponents' negative Karma, the more damage the Territory deals. If the opponent has no negative Karma, this Territory has no effect.
-Primary Law of Karma (0.1% comprehension): You don't understand enough of this yet. Comprehend the Karma Elent or visit ??? to learn more.
-Karma Elental: Isolate the Karmic forces and prevent them from affecting your body under most circumstances. In this state, the Host may choose to wash away their negative Karma at any ti.
Next rank up: Ascend to unlock the next rank's requirents.

Hmm, this one is a bit situational... William thought as he looked at the Karma Territory. If he was against sothing like a Demon that had incredibly dense negative karma, this would probably be a great counter to it.
But, if he was facing a mber of a righteous organization, the Karma Elent wouldn't be useful for much.
Even so, this was an incredibly powerful ability that would be perfect in the right situations. He even had the Karma Elental Form, which would allow him to wash away his own negative karma at any ti.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Karma Mage with the ability to create a Territory in the Celestial Planes, but with the Elental Form this shouldn't be an issue. William smiled as he looked at the System Panel.
POTENTIAL POINTS: 43,112,082
I have four Elent Farms that aren't B-Rank yet, and they cost ten million Points each. I wanted to save these Points for sothing last-minute, but I think waiting three years to fully comprehend my Elents is actually too long...
The Potential Farms were enough to earn William a few million Points every two weeks, so he didn't hesitate to spend most of his remaining Points to push all four Farms to B-Rank.
At the sa ti, he harvested the Elent Fruits that had been fully grown since four days ago, changing the harvest cycle for his Elent farms to the 24th of each month. He consud the 150 Illusion and Ti Fruits in his warehouse, then moved on to eat 75 Fire, Space, and Seal Fruits.
Lastly, William ate the 525 Order Fruits that he had been saving up the longest, pushing his comprehension of the Illusion and Ti Elents to 15.1 percent, Fire and Space to 37.6 percent, Seal to 48.1 percent, and finally Order to 52.6 percent.
Along with the Fate Elent that gained eight percent comprehension from a random enlightennt, William had 7 Elents that were stronger than anything that anyone in the Mortal Realms could possibly achieve.
System, if I upgrade the Elent Farms to A-Rank, will I still be able to eat the Fruits?
-Yes. The A-Rank upgrade will grow one hundred Elent Fruits at a ti, but their quality will be the sa. Once the Farms beco S-Rank, the quantity of Fruits produced will double once more, but 25 of which will be too powerful for you to consu in your current state.
William nodded in understanding. From the way the System explained it, upgrading Farms like Order to A-Rank would be a waste since he was almost halfway done comprehending the Elent, but pushing it to S-Rank would be a good idea once he was able to eat the better Fruits.
Wait a minute, what do the better fruits do? Are they just more Comprehension? That would be a waste.
-Better Fruits allow you to comprehend more powerful Laws.
Stronger Laws? William understood what the System was saying, but its explanation sparked a whole new level of interest. After seeing how much the Seal Elent's restriction improved over ti, William knew that the Elental Fruits were no small matter.
In fact, he could sense that his Order Elent was over five hundred tis stronger than it was before he ate the Fruits. If that was the case, full comprehension should be around a thousand tis!
Five hundred tis stronger than an X-Rank Mythic Elent... if Juhi descended again, I could obliterate him with a single move! That said... what am I going to do when I try to Ascend these Elents? I'll be destroyed by the Laws in an instant!
William shook his head and decided it would be better to figure that out at a later date. He already understood how the upgrade process worked for the Elents, so he would be sure to fully prepare for the eventual upgrade.
Even if the Order and other Elents had grown stronger, William could gauge how strong their improvents were. All he had to do was wait until he was confident enough to handle the Laws.
Bonus Effects like Mana Lord from the Mana Dominator Talent and the various upgrades from the Hard Body Talent would be enough to hopefully counter the worst effects. All he had to do was upgrade those and his Resistance Talents first.
Speaking of Talents... I haven't looked at the Master Thief Talent or Jack Of All Trades yet. Now that all of my Elents are maxed out, I should do that... William rembered as he opened the System Panel.

Finally, a Talent that helps steal- I an grab more loot! I can even use this as a tool to run from anything stronger than ! Though I doubt anything could make run... William smiled.
Seeing that the Stealth Talent was enhanced made William curious. The Stealth Talent was only Common, and in his opinion, it should be one of the most suitable Talents for rging into Master Thief, but it hadn't.
It was completely separate from the rest, and the System didn't say anything about it.
William decided to ask. System, does the Stealth Talent rge into anything?
-Request requires 3.2 billion Potential Points. Yes/No?
Is there a cheaper option?
-I can omit the things related to the Ascended Realms. Request requires 144 Potential Points. Yes/No?
Sure. That's better
-The Stealth Talent rges with Master Thief, Critical Chance, Fitness, and two other Talents only available after you Ascend. Once rged, they will beco a Celestial Talent.
William nodded in understanding. The upgrade path for the Stealth Talent was a bit odd, but he was happy that the System was able to explain the situation to him for cheap.
So, there are Talents that I can only get when I Ascend, huh?
-There are many, but the requirents are different from what you'd expect.
William frowned slightly. He could tell by the System's tone that it ant he wouldn't be able to gain Talents as easily as he was now.
Will the Talent Shop be taken away when I Ascend? William was slightly worried that he would miss out on many things.
-No.
He heaved a sigh of relief, moving on to the Jack Of All Trades Talent before he could forget about it again.
As he opened the description of the Celestial Talent, the ssage box of the System automatically widened, extending a few ters above William and spreading downward as if soone had unfurled an absurdly long scroll.
