[Dark Void Domain], successfully synthesized![Coordinate Lock], successfully synthesized![Chaotic Consumable (Passive)], successfully synthesized!...
With a casual snap of his fingers, Daniel released the newly ford Dark Void Domain.
As the domain rapidly unfolded, the surrounding silver-rank monsters were caught within its expanding boundary. The instant the darkness enveloped them, their bodies began to fall apart, dissolving into fragnts beyond their control.
It was eerily quiet—like sugar crystals slowly dissolving in warm water, lting bit by bit into nothingness. On the surface, it looked almost peaceful, even tranquil. Yet, in Daniel’s heart, a deep chill spread.
This power was terrifying.
Daniel had originally thought that the domain would serve primarily as an augntation for himself—an enhancent to his own abilities. But the mont he saw the monsters reduced to nothingness in re seconds, he realized he had underestimated it. Dark Void Domain was far more devastating than he could have imagined.
The speed of expansion quickened, rolling outward like a tide of annihilation. Wherever the field touched, silver-rank beasts lted away in a matter of heartbeats.
anwhile, thanks to the effects of Ode to Life, Daniel’s HP had already accumulated to an astronomical figure—beyond a trillion. In front of such vitality and resilience, the monsters posed no threat at all. Their claws and fangs could not even scratch his skin.
Raising his hand once more, Daniel activated another of his freshly obtained powers: Coordinate Lock.
The mont the skill triggered, though his body remained perfectly still, his mind power surged outward. Its effective range expanded a hundredfold in an instant. At the sa ti, Dark Void Domain ballooned to the sa imnse scale, blanketing the seafloor of the Storm Sea.
A single mont later, the result was catastrophic—an entire region of undersea life was obliterated. Countless creatures perished as if swept away by an invisible scythe.
Daniel’s strength had leapt forward yet again.
Satisfied, he summoned the Universal Gauntlet and tore open a portal. Beyond it lay the Undersea Forest Plane.
Stepping through the rift, Daniel imdiately sensed the richness of elental energy in the air. Wood elent thrumd all around him, alive and potent, though subtly different from the wood elent he was familiar with. Here, it carried a strange, almost alien quality.
Light returned to his vision as he erged on the other side. A crisp notification flashed before his eyes:
[Congratulations. You have successfully completed all Reshaping Quests.]
Daniel did not move right away. Instead, he remained in place, keeping Coordinate Lock active. His mind power once again ballooned outward a hundredfold, allowing him to scan the area with incredible clarity.
He soon realized sothing important—Ti Stream could be activated in this plane. That knowledge made him exhale in relief.
Without hesitation, he summoned the Tree of Faith in the Undersea Forest. With it acting as a spiritual bridge, he could employ Flashback to travel instantly to any location connected to the tree.
Only after securing these anchors did Daniel finally take the ti to observe his surroundings carefully.
The environnt was peculiar. Though still deep under the ocean, the seafloor was crowded with dense growths that resembled forests of trees. Strictly speaking, however, these might not even be plants. Their structure and aura felt foreign. Still, compared to the desolation of the Undead Lands or the distorted chaos of the Exile Plane, this realm seed oddly normal, even familiar.
Yet Daniel’s instincts told him the "trees" here were not as simple as they appeared.
He activated the Eye of Insight—and his suspicions were confird. None of these towering forms had life. Not a spark. Even more bizarre, every single treetop pointed in the sa direction, like countless arrows fixed upon a single target—the center of the plane.
Sothing powerful lurked there, he realized. Sothing vast enough that even lifeless structures were drawn toward it.
After a mont of contemplation, Daniel chose not to approach. Instead, he invoked Flashback and withdrew to the Myriad Races Continent. His true body reappeared inside the Tower of Reshaping, though his avatars continued their exploration within the Undersea Forest.
Inside the Tower of Reshaping, a new sequence of system ssages awaited him:
[Congratulations. You have completed the Reshaping Quest.][Rewards are being distributed. Please wait...][You have received compensation rewards: Random God Rank Skills ×2.]
Daniel blinked in surprise.
Two God Rank Skills—just as a "compensation"? That was beyond generous. He couldn’t help but feel as though he had just struck gold.
The first reward appeared:
[Mixed Strike]Effect: You may combine multiple skills to create new effects. Note: certain unique combinations may result in especially interesting outcos.
Daniel frowned slightly. The description was almost too simple. On the surface, it did not sound particularly powerful. "Is that all?" he murmured.
Still, curiosity burned in his mind. Perhaps it was worth a test.
He teleported to the Continent of Flesh and Blood, where hordes of abominations road endlessly. There, he activated Mixed Strike.
Instantly, his status bar shifted. Normally, activating one God Rank Skill would seal off the use of others until its effect ended. But under Mixed Strike, that restriction was gone. He could chain or overlap several skills at once.
Not all skills qualified, however. He quickly discovered that only offensive and augntation-type abilities were accessible. More specialized powers—like Flashback or Ti Stream—remained excluded.
But even so, the possibilities were staggering.
He tested with straightforward examples: Thunderfall Rampaging Shield, teor Arrow Rain. Both could be triggered simultaneously. Then he noticed sothing else—ntal Corruption appeared on the list as well.
His eyes lit up.
What if... what if teor Arrow Rain could be fused with ntal Corruption? Would that not create a long-range, wide-area psychic assault?
Daniel wasted no ti. He combined the two under Mixed Strike.
The result blew past his expectations.
The density of the teor Arrow Rain multiplied tenfold. Each blazing projectile carried with it a wave of psychic contamination. The potency of the ntal attack itself was magnified fivefold.
In other words, with nothing but this one God Rank Skill, Daniel’s actual combat performance had skyrocketed. His overall effectiveness had increased by nearly an order of magnitude.
And that was only the beginning. He could sense it: countless other combinations lay waiting to be discovered, each with its own hidden potential. The scope for experintation was limitless.
The so-called "compensation reward" was, in truth, a monuntal boon.
Suppressing his excitent, Daniel turned to examine the second God Rank Skill.
[Enchantnt: Divine Fla]Effect: After activation, all of your attacks beco imbued with divine fire. This damage applies as a percentage effect, functioning as a special attack modifier.
Compared to Mixed Strike, Divine Fla looked far more straightforward. It did not scream creativity or tactical depth. But that did not an it was useless.
For Daniel, it was a reliable enhancer—a way to layer devastating elental fire atop all of his existing arsenal. Any increase in his offensive output was welco, and this skill guaranteed just that.
Daniel stood still for a while, letting the magnitude of the mont sink in.
Dark Void Domain, Coordinate Lock, Mixed Strike, Divine Fla... His arsenal of God Rank Skills had grown trendously in a short ti. Each was a pillar of unfathomable might, but together, they elevated him to a level that even he had not fully grasped yet.
And sowhere deep inside, Daniel knew: the true potential of Mixed Strike remained untapped. He had only scratched the surface.
What terrifying possibilities awaited once he began weaving together the entirety of his God Rank arsenal?
The thought alone made his heart race.
