Chapter 138 - New skills

The Ruler brought Ryuu to where they've preserved the body of the Absolute Being, their creator. The Absolute Being was a gigantic man with long silver hair, pale ivory skin, and blank yellow eyes. He wore silver robes with light brown armor on his shoulders and chest, and a tall light brown hat.

Ryuu looking at it already feels the lingering essence of life and power. The corpse was in a pristine clear glass coffin that shimmered in gold. The Ruler knelt down and still respected their creator even though they had raised their weapons the Absolute Being. 

"It is truly regrettable that we bare our weapons to the Absolute…"

The Brightest fragment of Brilliant light spoke filled with regrets and shame. They were desperate to end the needless war that the only option was to kill their creator. It was the utmost blasphemy and it was the sin all Rulers bare. 

"You did what you felt was right, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

Ryuu wanted to mock the stupidity of their creator but didn't out of respect for the Rulers. He wasn't afraid of getting killed by them since his power had more ways to save him.  

"Even with yours, it doesn't change our action was wrong and the shadow monarch, the Greatest Fragment of the brilliant light understood. He truly lives up to his name."

The Brightest fragment of Brilliant light said giving respect to Ashborn. Though, they aim to kill his vessel but change it when they learn about the possible future.

"Yet you're willing to give me his body?"

Ryuu finds it strange that they have these confusing principles. He planned on absorbing its physiology and adding it to his own. 

"If it means we can lessen the causality of the war then we are willing to put aside our disgrace."

He nodded and didn't care what they were talking about as long as he was able to acquire it then everything was fine. A moment later the casket opened where Ryuu felt its power and felt the urge to take his body. 

Ryuu reaches out then suddenly a bright flash of light enveloped the scene and he's body began to reformed absorbing the remaining essence of the absolute. 

He could feel something tugging and pulling but Ryuu just ignored it, blaring his power to overwhelm it. Normally, his physical form is a necessary handicap as his soul was near limitless cause the ruler to kneel feeling something coming that is beyond their control. 

His form started to take shape that was an angelic form that was more Divine yet still had the motif of flesh and viscera. The Ruler couldn't help but revered at Ryuu's new form feeling the presence of their old master yet different at the same time. 

[ You have acquired Creation Skill ]

[ Creation skill ]

May be limited on what they can create.

Creation Negation.

May drain the user's energy, burden the user's body or impact users' health depending on the nature of this ability. ] 

Ryuu felt as if he grew significantly stronger and the new skills let him create anything out of nothing with his basic understanding needed to create them. It would be useful in the future when he decided to do some remodeling back on earth. 

Fortunately it doesn't limit itself with objects but also dimension and creates his own personal place on earth to start his plan for the future. 

"We humbly welcome the new lord, the new Absolute Being."

The Ruler knelt down before Ryuu, he was surprised and felt confused why they were acting this strange then realized seeing the memories for the Absolute Being. He was glad that they had killed him as the guy had an immense god complex. 

'How foolish. His god yet doesn't know anything about leadership.'

If he were to compare the absolute being to another character then it would be the Omni king with so much power in the hands of a fool. 

"You have all mistaken, I am not the absolute being."

He tried to stop them yet everyone remained kneeling.

"That may be but you are the absolute being and someone we can truly give our support to, therefore we wholeheartedly welcome you as our new lord."

Ryuu felt speechless and just gave up letting them be. There's still things that he needs to do.

"Fine, take to the cup of reincarnation."

They all nodded leading him to where the Cup of Reincarnation was. He found a large ornamental chalice with yellow trims, indigo-colored glass, and a light blue stem. Ryuu approached the item and observed it. 

[ Cup of Reincarnation ]

[ Description: The cup has the unique ability to turn back time 10 years each time it is activated. However, it does not have unlimited power and can become useless if it is used too many times. It also does not affect the Monarchs and the Rulers, as they are able to retain their powers and memories of the original timeline after the cup is used.

Usage: 1/100. ]

From the memories of the Absolute Being, he uses various enchantments and otherworldly powers to make it. Ryuu held out his hand before reforming it using his [ Creation ] skill. 

He took its effect and absorbed it into his body. Ryuu smiled upon gaining something truly wonderful. 

[ You have acquired Space-Time lordship ]

[ Description: The user has authority and control over space-time itself, the fabrics of reality in which all exist in. They can control space-time itself and all things linked to it to a limitless degree. 

Limitation: Other beings can resist the effect. Acasuality entities are not affected. Entities beyond time are not affected. 

Strong will and power may resist.  ]

Ryuu was not done and fixed the [ Cup of Reincarnation ] to be used a few times, surprising the Ruler at how easily he used. 

"Once the war is over, I recommend strengthening humanity with mana and if possible create your own system that can help advance humans like video games."

He said since a powerful mage like the architect can do so then it's possible for the ruler who are gods to do so. Ryuu believes that they are basically the equivalent of Great Gods from Death Mage who doesn't want a fourth time. 

System won't be an issue since it would just be made out of energy. But they have to connect to every single living soul. 

"It shall be done my Lord."

"Then I shall take my leave."

He formed a gate quite easily now then used his power to hide his strength since the monarch would see him as a threat once they found out. Once that was finished descended back to earth where Go Gun-Hee looked at him dumbfounded.

"You…you became the absolute being!?"

"More or less. Well, I still have a meeting with Miss Cha this afternoon."

Ryuu just teleported having complete control over space-time thanks to his new skill. He had long been able to see the whole world because of his [ Byakugan ] but now it was more precise than before. He was already quite powerful despite only having three jobs. 

He then mixed the [ Space-Time lordship ] with [ Shundo ] and instantly folded space around him appearing to his destination where he found a small Cafe.  

Ryuu went inside feeling the cozy atmosphere and made a mental note to create a side branch for his restaurant. He walked his way to where Cha Hae-in was, who seemed lost in her thoughts waiting for him. 

"Miss Cha?"

"Eeep!"
