383 382: Nature of Your Talent
{That is not the reason, Master. It's because there's insufficient information about this place in the Perceptual Nexus Repository.}
When Corey heard these words, he beca so shocked and confused that for an instant, he completely forgot about the pile of bones in front of him.
Although this happened, he regained his composure due to the actions of one of his stars of consciousness, which was responsible for controlling his body if his main consciousness was unable to.
However, Corey was still imnsely shocked and baffled by what he heard.
Sure, he knew that despite him having the talent- Omniscience, he was far from being Omniscient.
When the apocalypse began, and he was given his talent, he rembered that he had complained about how useless his talent was since it did not give him imnse knowledge or any Omniscient ability.
However, that thought changed when he discovered his talent skill- Record.
Record seemingly had the ability to give him every single piece of information about whatever being he was able to Record.
Not only did Record give him information on the stats of any being he was able to Record, but Record was even able to give him detailed information on the external and internal structure of the being.
In fact, if he Recorded a being long enough, and he was much stronger than the being, Record could even give him the behavioral habits of the being and even the age of the being.
When Corey realized this at so point in the Underworld, he ca to realize that Record was most likely the core ability of his talent- Omniscience.
Even if he was eting a new beast, monster, person, thing, or being for the first ti and had no information on it, Record had the ability to give him this information as long as he looked at the person long enough.
Corey had not beco an Omniscient being who knew every single thing after getting his talent, no, what he beca was a being who could obtain information of a being from seemingly out of nowhere. The only requirent was to look at the being long enough.
Corey had always wondered how and where Record always got its information from, however, since he knew he was not going to be getting an answer from anybody at his current level of strength, he just pushed it to the back of his mind.
For him, Record most likely got the information from the Universal System, or maybe it even got it from the Supre Ancestor since the Supre Ancestor was the one who created the Universal System.
Although he had always been curious, he was not really bothered by it since Record was a powerful ability, and he was still weak. In his mind, he knew he would be able to figure out more about Record and his talent as he got stronger.
However, now that Record failed to work, and Chucky just told him that the reason was due to insufficient information about the shattered dinsion- The Dinsion of The Old Ones, he knew he needed answers.
'What do you an by insufficient information, Chucky?'
{It's also strange to , Master. I don't know why, but whenever you try to Record the monster in front of you, I always received a feedback from the Perceptual Nexus Repository that there's an error, and after digging deeper, I found out that it was because there's insufficient information about the shattered dinsion you're in.'
Despite Chucky trying to explain, Corey was still confused.
'How is that possible? I know that I'm far from Omniscient, but shouldn't Record be Omniscient? Shouldn't it know about every single being that's weaker than , at my tier, and at most three levels higher than ?'
{I-I'm just as confused as you, Master. I thought so too.}
When Corey heard the confused and slightly anxious tone in Chucky's voice, his expression beca weird, and a weird thought appeared in his mind.
'Did… Did Record break because I tried Recording this monster?'
{No! How can it be broken just because you tried to Record the monster in front of you?!}
Corey was slightly taken aback when he heard the anger in Chucky's voice. Although it was more of a joke rather than a question, it seed to surprisingly anger Chucky.
Corey beca curious.
{I'm sorry.} Chucky apologized, {It's just that… since you woke up before you reached tier 7, most of my mories are sealed, and I don't have the knowledge and information I'm ant to have.}
Corey raised his brows as he could vividly feel the anxious tone in Chucky's voice. Was he ant to feel pity because of that?
'Well, I'm not going to apologize for 'waking' you up early. What's done is done. Besides, haven't you heard that waking up late is bad for your health?' Corey replied indifferently with a ntal shrug.
Chucky said nothing, but he heard a scoff of contempt from him later on, and the connection between them went silent.
Barely two seconds had passed since Chucky spoke to him, and just as he was about to focus on the pile of bones in front of him, Nina's voice resounded in his mind.
[I wasn't sure if I should tell you, but after thinking about it, I think I should.]
Corey beca confused, 'Tell what, Nina?'
[About the nature of your talent.]
Corey's gaze sharpened, and his expression beca serious. If there was one person he was sure would know about his talent or the reason why Record was not working, he was sure it was Nina.
Although he knew he could have asked her, he had made it a habit to not depend on Nina. In fact, unless it was related to Hell, The Paragons, and The Supres, he rarely asked her anything since he didn't want to depend on her so much. He also knew that Nina liked it when he rarely asked her questions and chose to figure out the answers himself.
Because of this, he was surprised when Nina chose to tell him about the nature of his talent.
'Go on.' He said, with a tinge of curiosity and anxiousness in his heart.
[The thing is, your talent is not really Omniscience.]
Corey tilted his head slightly and frowned, 'If it's not Omniscience, then what is it?'
[The truth is that those… things you call Stars of Consciousness… are actually the Soul Origins of the dead gods of your Universe.]
