168 Chapter 168: Relic of Choice (3)

Chapter 168: Relic of Choice (3)

~Jack POV~

What…?

My eyes widen when I'm almost near my destination running across Remnant but what I saw of what Jinn showed me seeing the humanoid figure is me!

Getting close to land and stopping at my destination I put my focus on what Jinn is showing me as she explains to me, "Yes. The Relic of Choice began to be bound to Jack Nights' soul however it caused the very relic to mutate so to speak changing to the form that the soul needs. Thus, the whole entire body of the crown began to change."

…

Seeing the whole process is done, I see my own body being naked form with the bases of the Relic using a skeleton-based body then I see flesh begin to grow when [The Gamer] gift entered inside the exoskeleton-based body with the flesh of nerves and muscles growing out of it showing the chest taken the shape to be the crown.

Gazing at my body made me a bit worried now.

So… I'm like what exactly?

A modified human or golem or perhaps a cyborg of magic?

This is really confusing how they made the process.

Next, I hear Jinn beginning to explain more about this as she spoke out in a gentle tone, "Thus the Crown changed to that of a skeleton with Gaia gift granting her unique ability of life to blossom off on the Crown. Knowing that his body is weak [The Gamer] gift created the life to be unique always absorbing magic from the Crown to be physically enhanced to its peak. A limitless growth of strength but at a cost…"

Speaking out figuring out what Jinn was talking about the problem is that…

I already have an inkling of what the cost may be but I voiced it out getting the answer, "I can't ever to be used magic. Because my own body is already becoming enhanced by the Relic in my bones fueling me with the increase of strength constantly."

Jinn nods agreeing to my claims as she began to discuss how I grow stronger each time she spoke, "Of course. For each time you 'Level Up' it's actually enabling the body to grow becoming physically stronger and spiritual."

Huh?

Getting confused by the spiritual part Jinn further explain to me what she meant since it still involves my second question, "For each time you level up your Aura also increases. I mean you have seen those stats of your increase each time no. And for the bonuses is remnants of bonus magic to fuel your body by choice for you to enhance your mind with WIS. Brain with INT. Muscles with STR and AGI. Stamina with VIT. Fate with LUCK. Health with HP. And aura or soul with AP."

My eyes widen at this and the meaning behind everything as to why I get stronger.

I wasn't actually seeing that the stats giving me strength but actually the Relic of Choice fueling my body parts gave me the exact value of my own power like a game…

Wow…

That's kind of what's the word…

Revelating to hear.

I mean I know the relics is basically an infinite fuel source with how Ironwood and Ozpin used it to keep Atlas afloat but how Gaia did it…

I'm essentially like Penny in a way but without a Soul Core to fuel me, I have the literal Relic fueling my body to the best it can handle allowing me to grow on what choices I needed to become better.

Well… Gaia was creative to create this kind of symbiotic relationship with me and the Relic of Choice.

But that wasn't all Jinn also soon explained the features of the Quest I get are from the Relic itself being used by me whenever a threat occurs, "Whatever challenge you come against the [The Gamer] would use the Relic of Choice to provide you the means to get stronger motivating you. Like, say… creating those Quest you do with the <Precognition> of Janus. Providing a possible future of what's to come along with rewards created using the Relic's own infinite energy source providing the means to create it with the Relic's help."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva hearing that Jinn continues to the moment when I fought alongside my allies against Starro starting to give me words and prayers for me and all to fight against them.

Then it all the way follows to the end of the question with me hearing my notification using up all the questions Jinn had with time still frozen.

[Ding!]

[-You have met the conditions-]

[-Which skill would you like to copy from Jinn-

-Dimension Creation Lv.1

-Dimension Hopping Lv.1

-Dimension Manipulation Lv.1

-All Past and Present Vision Lv.1

-Time Stop Lv.1

….]

Inhaling a fresh breath of air, I began to breathe out getting an odd response from Jinn as she spoke out curiously, "Hmm… I would half expect you to freak out or start to get paranoid about the whole situation. You seem rather calm taking the whole situation."

Gazing my eyes at Jinn I began to respond to her with a calm expression on my face, "And what? Worry my butt out? It all happened in the past. I can't do anything about it later."

Even though all of this is pretty trippy and weird it's not impossible to get me my body back again since I can just use the Relic of Creation help to provide me a new body again like how Ruby did for Penny.

Jinn now knowing this smiled lightly and laughed a bit at my predicament as she began to talk to me about it, "Hahaha. True human. You could use the same method Team RWBY has done to return your body again good as new. Quite literally."

Hahaha.

Laughing lightly at this I responded to Jinn with a bright smile on my face, "Haha. Yeah… but then again, I got to be optimistic about the whole situation. But thank you for the help but metaphorically speaking of course will I even be able to see you again even asleep?"

Jinn merely smirks at me while everything is starting to become back to normal time again responding, "Perhaps if things start to get interesting again. Although I would prefer to talk about some things with a man from another world metaphorically of course. But then again you might be an exception considering you aren't really human, Faunus, or Grimm. Just another being is all so I guess I can be a bit bias I supposed. Just don't abuse it, young man."

*WOOSH*

Jinn soon transform herself back to being the Lamp with me carrying it again making me smile while I got the means to stop time again and also talk to a fully naked Jinn wanting to talk more in the future.

But returning to the screen of the skill I wanted to copy down I selected this one because I have plans for this one.

[Ding!]

[You have successfully copied the skill <Time Stop>!]

----

<Time Stop> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

AP Cost: 1000 AP for 1 second.

Description: Users can stop time while being unaffected themselves or may also allow others to be unaffected. If the user moves before this ability ceases, it will appear to everyone that the user teleported.

-At levels 25, 50, 75, and 99 AP Cost reduced by 15%.

----

Grinning at this I began to save the <Time Stop> skill immediately to my <Soul Archive> while I began to activate my <Fusion> skill to fuse this with a certain skill giving me free rein of what to do.

And…

There!

With that saved time to use my <Fusion> to start getting some really good skills for me to use.

[-Choose the following Skills to Fuse into a new one-]

[-Time Stop-]

[-Telekinesis-]

[-Aura Amp-]

[-Power Augmentation-]

[-If the following -Time Stop-, -Telekinesis-, -Aura Amp-, and -Power Augmentation- fused result in: <Time Manipulation>-]

[-Notice if fuse you lose the materials used to fuse-]

[Ding!]

[Using the materials of -Time Stop-, -Telekinesis-, -Aura Amp-, and -Power Augmentation- will begin fusion!]

[<Fusion> LEVEL UP!]x15

[Fusion Complete!]

[Skills <Time Stop>, <Telekinesis>, <Aura Amp>, and <Power Augmentation> have been lost.]

[The Skill <Time Manipulation> has been learned from <Fusion>!]

Feeling a new foreign power within me and everything in my control I knew what it was immediately by instinct but for now, ignored it getting my own power to return.

Suddenly something within my very soul is beginning to recall something I have felt this power again when I tried to regain the materials used when I first fused to get <Soul Manipulation>.

[<Soul Archive> LEVEL UP!]

[Ding!]

[Using the skill <Soul Archive> activated your soul has begun to relearn what was saved from the soul…]

[The Skill <Time Stop> Lv.1 has been relearned!]

[The Skill <Aura Amp> Lv.62 has been relearned!]

[The Skill <Telekinesis> Lv.31 has been relearned!]

[The Skill <Power Augmentation> Lv.26 has been relearned!]

Nodding at this I began to check out the latest skill I got and what I have in plan to use in case things get dangerous.

Skill List.

----

<Time Manipulation> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

AP Cost: Varies

Description: Users can control and manipulate time, the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future, in the general area, or for a specific target in various ways, with the most basic of acts revolving around accelerating, slowing, stopping, and even rewinding or looping it. The range of the affected area is proportional to the mastery of the user, with those at higher levels being able to affect the entire space-time continuum.

Since "time" exists and flows within "space", the two are interrelated, and by manipulating time, one is also distorting space proportionally. The effects of this relative distortion can vary, however. For example, controlling the time of a mere object or person may not affect the space they reside in, whereas twisting the time stream of an entire region of space can cause the area itself to warp.

Additionally, due to time being so closely intertwined with our three-dimensional space, manipulating it might not affect another dimension, such as heaven or hell, in the same way, it affects our own.

----

Smiling at this it's about time I begin to get the other half of time what I need is space next because it's about time I make some power moves of my own.

It will probably cause a massive change happening throughout Remnant for sure, but I need some safety powerful skills to ensure my victory when the Fall of Beacon happens is the turning point of everything that's yet to come.

Time to get to finish up some deals as soon as possible.

But first…

Turning around I finally see The Domain of Light and also, its fountain.

Time to truly up my game now.

At least I won't have to worry about death for a long while against a whole army worth of Grimm when the Vytal Festival happens.

Truly I have to wonder though how come reincarnator or transmigrators never go for the Domain of Light that gifted Salem her immortality in the pond?

Whatever the case is at least I know I won't die easily against her.

Magic or not when two nearly unstoppable forces meet only those with the stronger will or skills will come out of the fight.

Time to get the busted healing skill.
