Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1547: The goal

Rain kept absorbing the power of the aspect of time, but weirdly enough, no changes appeared in his own body. It almost looked like he had become just a storage of data as well.

The Temporal Path was updated.

Lvl 80: Temporal Transcendence - Ascends to a state of temporal transcendence, where the practitioner exists beyond the confines of linear time, perceiving and manipulating temporal realities with unfettered freedom. You can see and interfere with past events as you please, but the outcomes can’t be determined.

The Temporal Path was updated.

Lvl 85: Temporal Omnipresence - Attains omnipresent awareness across all points in time, transcending the limitations of temporal perception and manipulation to become a timeless entity. You can create portals at any point in time, but staying in there will require massive amounts of energy.

The Temporal Path was updated.

Lvl 90: Temporal Singularity - Initiates the convergence of all temporal realities into a singular, immutable timeline, reshaping the fabric of reality itself according to the practitioner’s will. You can make your thoughts turn into reality and make it impossible for the target to fight them.

The Temporal Path was updated.

Lvl 95: Temporal Ascendance - Ascends to the pinnacle of temporal mastery, becoming a living embodiment of temporal power and transcending the boundaries of mortal existence to become one with the very fabric of time. All skills in this Path consume one thousand fewer points of mana per level.

The Temporal Path was updated.

Lvl 100: Temporal Genesis - Initiates the genesis of a new temporal epoch, where the practitioner becomes the architect of a new reality, shaping the course of history and destiny with every thought and action. All skills become easier to use alongside time magic and their cost decreases.

"Impressive, truly impressive. I was imagining that you would only be able to weaken him, but to think that you surpassed him despite being weaker and exhausted, I am truly impressed."

The dragon god form quickly began to take shape in that world as if he had been there from the very beginning... Since the Temporal Path had been updated, he obtained all of the skills of it as well and soon started to feel their power as he made them level up.

"I almost messed up by trying to kill the other time. I guess we were both lucky that I was going easy on you. Keeping an eye on this whole time was truly very useful."

The dragon god sure sounded relaxed, and he talked as if Rain was hearing everything. After reaching this far, it was hard to imagine that he would fall by his own attack, but it looked like that would be the case as more time passed.

"Come on, you can’t fool me. I am willing to treat you like a real opponent, so do you really think that you will fool me?" The dragon god asked, and then his body began to shrink.

The transformation of the dragon god was quite weird if anything. From the fearsome hydra form, it morphed into a humanoid figure. But this was no ordinary human appearance. The dragon god now possessed golden hair that seemed to shimmer with its own light and eyes of the same color that glowed with an otherworldly radiance. Despite the human guise, its presence remained distinctly non-human, exuding an aura of power and ancient wisdom.

Showing human attire, a casual jacket, jeans, and sneakers, the dragon god’s transformation was both confusing and surreal. It stood before him, a fusion of human and divine, embodying a form that defied conventional understanding.

"As expected, I won’t feel satisfied defeating you with a sneaky attack," Rain said after he suddenly opened his eyes. "My pride wouldn’t allow that."

"So, you do understand, that is why I came for you first instead of attacking your friends and Fortus," The dragon god said. "In any case, before anything, let’s talk a little bit." freewebnøvel.coɱ

"No, let’s punch each other to death. That is better," Rain said. "No matter what happens, we will never be able to see each other eye to eye."

"Don’t be like that. You don’t want to dance at the palm of his hands, do you?" The dragon god asked. "You should have realized by now that the overseer is the reason why we are here. He used both of us as test subjects. He also used a bunch of others over the years, but they didn’t reach the potential that he wanted. Only we did it."

Rain went silent for a moment... the second time he talked with the overseer, he said that he didn’t know who was the being who reincarnated him and the dragon god. However, after seeing the power of the machine gods and the fact that the system had some of their knowledge, it became clear that the overseer was hiding something... the fact that the dragon god was planning to get on revenge on someone who wasn’t from Earth, but he knew already also added to solve the mystery.

"I am one hundred percent sure that the overseer was also the one who gave birth to the machine gods," the dragon god said. "All in order to eventually make them face someone who would fight and triumph over them and eventually obtain all of their knowledge and powers. Imagine someone like that with all that knowledge, what could that someone become?"

"A guy who has too much time on their hands," Rain said.

"... The closest being to a god," The dragon god said. "A real god. With the power of the aspect of time and the knowledge to use all of mana and energy throughout one’s existence, there is nothing that can’t be accomplished. The power of the other aspects is just to complete that power to grant you the power to do anything, to create anything. The overseer wanted someone to be born to be able to use the aspects freely and creatively, much better than the machine gods. Eventually, he would try to get the perfect body for himself."
