Mystical Journey-Chapter 1297 - Conclusion 1

He did not add them evenly.

Instead, he firstly increased one aspect to an extreme.

When it came to increasing his attributes, Garen had always been used to directly increasing them to extremes. Now that he had collected so many Potential Points, he prepared to do the same thing.

Since King Gus’ contract had been canceled, he did not have so much attention trained on him anymore. That way, there would not be too many variables and concerns even if he drastically increases his powers.

Inside the White Dragon Clan, Garen lay in his cave, surrounded by many books he borrowed from the other White Dragons, as well as the ones he got from Ann.

He had generally calculated the general situation within the Clan, and once he added that to some of Ann’s top-secret information, he obtained the truest of real-world statistics. Statistics about the physical fitness of the dragons.

Converted into the Attribute System that he used, it meant that as a member of the dragon race, the limit of his power in this world would be about ninety points on average. Theoretically, this was the limit that the bodies of those Ancient Dragons could reach. Any beings with these statistics would basically be demigods that were almost a thousand meters long and understood divinity. Once they reached this limit, the dragons would also slowly weaken due to the lengths of their lives.

This was the necessary rhythm of things.

The White Dragons were among the weaker members of the dragon race, so their limit was at eighty attribute points or so. However, they could use their Draconic Aura, Arcane Art, and other abilities to increase their actual power.

“Eighty points is the limit for all White Dragons, and I’m already at sixty points…” Over the years, Garen’s natural growth and development had already broken past the sixty-point mark. His Strength was at 61, Agility 62, and his Vitality was slightly weaker, but even that was at 53. Because he put too much into it, his Intelligence had increased directly to 49.

And he could still add four hundred whole Potential Points to this.

“Let me increase them to their limits first.” Although Garen was confident in his Soul Limit, he was still slightly worried. The restrictions of this world were a tad too strong.

Right now, he needed three Potential Points to raise his attributes by one point.

Garen stared at his Strength attribute, and his Potential Points instantly took a nosedive plunge.

61… 62… 65… 70… 80… When it reached the eighty, the increase stopped abruptly.

Garen frowned slightly.

He could still feel some space for improvement, but it seemed to be slightly harder to increase Strength just by itself. It felt as though something was restricting the increase of his Strength attribute.

He moved his body slightly and felt as though it was unbalanced…

By increasing his Strength to eighty points, he had used up as many as 57 Potential Points. He still had 343 remaining.

“It’s probably a result of the imbalance from the other attributes. Perhaps I should increase them evenly. As expected, extremism won’t work…”

When his thoughts reached that, Garen began to increase his Agility and Vitality as well.

His Agility had been at 62 points, and he increased it by 18 points, using up 54 Potential Points. And his Vitality was at 53 points, and he used five points to increase it to 58 before it started requiring three Potential Points for one attribute point. He used another 66 Potential Points before he could reach 80.

The last was Intelligence. All in all, Garen used up 257 whole Potential Points before he could have all attributes reach 80 points.

Lying down in his cave, Garen’s body was completely curled up. His body had already expanded rapidly until it was as large as an Adult White Dragon’s, and it was still slowly growing. Large amounts of transparent energy flowed under his scales, it was the energy from his Potential Points.

At the end of the day, Potential Points were actually a source of pure energy that could be freely distributed to the different parts and functions of his body.

This energy was now rapidly strengthening Garen’s body to an incomprehensible extent.

Garen’s scales were growing whiter and whiter, becoming more crystalline, glowing with neon light. His body was approaching the standards of utmost perfection. Small stabs of pain surged up endlessly from all over his body, and Garen resisted that pain, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

As though his body was a rubber ball, and the constant release of Potential Point energy was inflating his body quickly.

“Looks like this is a compulsory process when powering up. The stronger the laws, the more natural adaptation and adjustment time would be needed for attribute changes.” Garen glanced at his current status.

‘Garen — Strength 80, Agility 80, Vitality 80, Intelligence 80. Potential 14363%. Soul Limit 170.

‘Level 7 Draconic Aura. Level 5 Arcane Art.’

“I still have some Potential Points left.” He tried to continue increasing his attributes, but it seemed as though they could not be increased anymore for the time being, because his body had already reached its limit. This was already the limit for a single adjustment session.

Garen sensed that if he continued to increase his attributes, his body might be in danger of exploding, so he instantly squashed down that notion. Instead, he placed his attention on the thing that he had been researching for some time now.

The fusion of the knowledge and systems from the many major universes.

He had once used created the Ten Thousand True Technique while in a human body, and this could be used in most universe systems. Although he was in a dragon body now, the Ten Thousand True Technique was still usable, he just needed to adjust the basic training paths slightly.

And after joining the Young Dragons these past few years, Garen still used most of his efforts to figure out how he could incorporate what he had learned previously into the power system of this world.

No, that was not the best way to phrase. More precisely, he was trying to connect his understanding of the power system in this world with those of all the other universes, in order to form a system that could be used in all the worlds.

Garen had traveled through so many universes, and, especially in the Transmigators’ Lighthouse, he had encountered so many different civilizations and systems. He had learned and seen so much, far more than even Ann.

In these past few years, he had mostly been focusing his attention on this.

In the Mech World, he had once obtained two extremely overpowered martial arts techniques, namely the Nine-Level Tempered Body Technique and the Destructive Impact Fist.

He had once reached an extremely high realm in the former, but as for the latter, even Garen himself never reached the limit of the Destructive Impact Fist.

“In the end, I relied on the Crystal Confinement and understood the Shadow Dragon’s Void Confinement Essence, only then could I reach the pinnacle. This was a stroke of luck, but since I could not reach the limit in the previous world, maybe I can try walking this sort of straightforward path for once in this world.”

He had always sensed that the true essence of the Destructive Impact was extremely terrifying, and at the very end, it seemed to be able to understand a Conceptual Essence that went beyond Confinement.

The restrictions of this world were very powerful, so he could not use the Destructive Impact Fist. But since White Dragons were part of the dragon race, their natural fitness far surpassed that of humans.

Hence, Garen’s foundations were very powerful as well, and it would not be impossible for him to try fusing this brutally powerful martial arts completely.

He organized the different system and finally came up with a set that contained the essence of everything he had learned.

He used the Ten Thousand True Technique as the main body, the Destructive Impact Fist as the skeleton, and all the other system contents as the blood and flesh to fill it up.

A powerful form of martial arts that belonged fully to him slowly began to take shape.

This conclusive system no longer originated from the Mother Stream. Instead, it was usable in all the universes, or at the very least, it could be used unrestrictedly in all the universes Garen had experienced up until now. It was practically adapted to all of the universes’ original systems.

Hence, he gave this power system a simple name — Void Original Opus. Because be it the Mother Stream or anything else, everything originated in the endless universal void. That was also the origin of that name.

The Void Original Opus that he first arranged contained next to everything. All of the martial arts he had ever learned, the secret techniques, skills, and even the essences, he could use all of them through the Original Opus.

Be it secret techniques, or Willpower, or any other system.

The difference between this and other systems was that the Void Original Opus’ roots did not lie in any form of power. Instead, it used the practitioner’s body and soul directly.

The energy produced was something Garen called Original Energy. This Original Energy was unnaturally pure and clean and could be used in any universe.

Right now, his physical fitness had been increased to its limit, and Garen had also checked his Void Original Opus once more to make sure there were no loopholes. This Original Opus even included this world’s Arcane Art system and Draconic Aura system. It could naturally tap into the strongest genes in the deepest part of the body, and this Original Energy came from his research in the Totem World.

Once he was sure there were no problems with the Original Opus, Garen finally became to practice this personalized system that he had created.

In truth, he had already sensed that the Void Original Opus was vaguely similar to the Living Secret Techniques he used to practice, and was a terrifying weapon that could truly last through the ages.

If he randomly created a Living Secret Technique Seed and released it, perhaps another shocking battle to snatch it would occur again in some ruins ten thousand years later.

The days passed, one by one, and Garen continued to stay in his cave training. Satwo, Sathree and the others brought him food and water. He practically ignored everything else happening in the world outside.

As time passed, his body grew larger and larger, rapidly expanding from the size of a normal Adult Dragon until it was more than twenty meters long and ten meters tall. He had directly become an enormous giant, comparable to some Ancient Dragons, but immediately afterward, he began to shrink quickly as well, returning to the size of a Dragon Whelp within three days. And then he grew again and shrank again.

This cycle ended and began once more, for several dozen times consecutively.

The aura around Garen grew more and more fearsome. It was not Draconic Aura, but a special type of suppressed aura.

In the blink of an eye, more than several dozen days had passed.

*******************

“I wonder what Garen is doing recently? He hasn’t come out to eat for more than ten days now.”

Satwo had grown slightly as well. Although he still looked like a Dragon Whelp, he was one size larger than a regular Dragon Whelp. This was also a result of Garen’s influence, since he obtained a larger share of the resources, it allowed him to grow faster than others as well.

“Perhaps he’s cultivating his Draconic Aura, so that he can prepare to break through to the next level?” said Sathree softly. “What about Safour?”

“Out on a quest.”

“To the Black Horn Mountain Range again?”

“We’re Dragon Whelps, not Young Dragons. The last time we went to the Fiery Blaze Mountain Range, we sustained heavy casualties, so the higher-ups lowered the standard and changed the location. It’s only natural.” Satwo pouted. “What, did you think that anyone could do like Garen did, and just join the Young Dragons on patrol like that?”

Inside the ice cave, the two Dragon Whelps chatted idly in low voices. With Garen’s protection, they did not have to worry about being sent off to any quests that were too dangerous. In fact, if any of the dragons in the clan were even slightly impolite to them, they would be dragged off by the Third Elder’s Dragon Guards for a talk.

Now that the Third Elder had separated on bad terms with the leader of the Dragon Guards, Phosphorus, he was placing all of his expectations on Garen. He was raising and helping Garen however he could, hoping that Garen could replace Phosphorus and become the new strongest Dragon Guard leader that was also on the Third Elder’s side.

That was why Garen and the dragons around him got the biggest slice of the pie for many matters within the clan.

Ever since Leona and Boris left, Garen no longer wanted to raise any conflicts against the Third Elder. Since he no longer had to worry about King Gus’ Eternal Contract, he was also more than happy to enjoy the power and position given to him by the Third Elder.

Boom!!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a huge explosion coming from the cave Garen was in.

Sathree and Satwo were jolted and nearly felt onto the surface of the ice.

“What sound was that!?”

“It came from Garen’s cave, let’s go look!!”

The two Dragon Whelps reacted immediately and rushed straight to the cave Garen was in.

After a few turns and dashes, going through a long and narrow ice tunnel, the two Dragon Whelps quickly rushed into Garen’s cave.

There was a mist of white steam inside, so they could not see anything inside at all.

“Garen?! Are you okay!?” Satwo yelled loudly.
