Chapter 169: Domain of Light
~Jack POV~
Viewing it sure is a beauty that's for sure.
Entering its path ahead I see it's surrounded by a form of barrier and getting curious about it I used <Observe> to tell me.
[Barrier of Light]
[This barrier was created by Ozma using his magic power once he fell to Salem in one of his reincarnated lives. When they lost their kids Ozma feared that the Domain of Light will be targeted by others and thus created a magic barrier for only those with the Relics could pass through.]
Ah…
The old wizard sure has his means of keeping everything safe and hidden.
I didn't expect I would ever find this place if it wasn't for Jinn providing me the coordinates of this place since it was hidden off the maps of Remnant.
Should've expected that wizard to keep everything a secret.
The Domain of Light is the former home of the God of Light and the antithesis of the Land of Darkness.
The Fountain of Life is located there at the God of Light's Shrine… it's one of the reasons why I needed to go here in a safety failsafe to get the water I need to even up with Salem.
Immortality.
The Domain of Light is a sacred place and was the domain of the God of Light. Humans used to come to pray to God for his blessings, who would emerge from his Fountain of Life.
It is set in a small canyon, walled off on all sides save for one point of terrestrial access via a tan set of stone stairs.
The area is filled with brilliantly golden-yellow flowers broken up only by patches of gray rock. In the center is the Fountain of Life, at the back of which is an immense tree with dark gold leaves. It is a serene location that emanates a sense of life and power about it.
The Domain of Light appears to have been located in a mountainous region, as snow-capped peaks can be seen behind the Fountain of Life and from the area leading to the entrance.
The Fountain has magical properties imbued by the God of Light, as being submerged in it granted Salem immortality.
After she is submerged, the surface of the water supports her body as land would. It is unclear whether this is a general property of the Fountain or a result of the God of Light.
Might be the fact of the God of Light wanting to get her out.
Heading towards the steps of the Fountain of Life with no one to stop me while I make my way to the water itself supposedly gave Salem her own immortality.
Leading towards the water I began to take out any canisters and bottles grabbing them all up and filling them each time while I used <Observe> on them to see what they can do, and I was extremely happy to see.
[Item: Water of Life
Descriptions: This water is extremely potent with remnants of the Brother of Light power inside undisturbed with magical healing properties that allow the user to keep themselves alive with no one means to destroy them. Drinking the water will grant the unique skill <Nigh-Absolute Immortality> to be given when drunk always coming back even if the user is turned to dust.]
Nodding at this useful and powerful item I was totally down to get these skills right away.
Time to take a quick dip inside.
Getting enough of the Water of Life inside my <Deep Pockets> I began to jump into the fountain of life.
*Splash*
Making a big splash with my whole entire body feeling the water enter my own skin I felt my aura begin to change up immediately opening my eyes and gaining a new form of power in my own soul and body.
[Ding!]
[You have been exposed to the Water of Life granting your soul and body incredible health!]
[You gain the skill <Nigh-Absolute Immortality> via Water of Life!]
Being submerged in the God of Light's pool, drowning in the Water of Life as an aura-like shimmer covers my body. Suddenly, she finds herself on the surface of the water, catching my breath and getting back to the surface.
Getting up I could only grin getting those skills because I essentially become busted in healing factors of the likes of Salem now.
Salem was cursed with immortality by the Gods, making it impossible to destroy her. When the God of Darkness vaporized all of Humanity, her immortality allowed her to remain unaffected. This was further shown during her battle with Ozma, where she was reduced to a pile of ash, but reformed instantly.
The time it takes for her to regenerate can vary, with the longest being a few hours.
But the fact remains even if I'm ever vaporized, I only need to return back in an instant or few hours to return up again.
Now then…
Skill List.

<Nigh-Absolute Immortality> (Passive) Lv. MAX
Description: Users possess immortality, a state where they can never die. Usually, users never age, never get sick, are completely self-sustaining, free from all bodily necessities, and can shrug off virtually any kind of decay or harm. Any damage done to the user would either be regenerated or just remain but not be fatal to them.
The user possesses near-complete immortality: they don't age, can rapidly heal from wounds, and will essentially live forever. However, there are exceptions to their immortality, with some factors being able to harm and ultimately kill them. Not even the vaporization of atoms is enough to destroy them.

Burh.
Really Salem <Nigh-Absolute Immortality> is really busted as fucking hell.
I can see why Ozpin is having a hard time against her also add the fact that she has the wisdom and knowledge through the years to become a threat to humanity.
Not going to lie that's pretty hard to beat…
If only she was able to handle the heroes here but not for someone like me though.
Now that there is another immortal like me in play it won't matter how much Salem does it will only end for the both of us in a draw… or the possibility of one of us being sealed.
Cursed by the gods, Salem is immortal and invulnerable to all mortal and supernatural threats, only able to die by learning and accepting the importance of life and death…
Hmm…
I wonder if I can just implant a false memory of it to resolve that issue to understand the importance of life would that trick the Gods or not?
Meh.
Probably not but for the time being though it's time I should go ahead and get that other skill using <Fusion>.

<Space Manipulation> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%
AP Cost: Varies
Description: Users can create, distort, and manipulate space, the boundless three-dimensional extent to which objects and events have relative position and direction, within an area of one's choosing, including an area and whatever is inside of that area.
Most commonly, users can use this ability to teleport by depleting the space from point A to point B, simply choosing to occupy a different space, or by creating portals. At a higher level, users can 'pull' space together apart, effectively generating a magnetic pull that causes anything of the user's choosing to diverge upon or to rip apart any object by tearing away the space that it occupies.
They can also do the opposite: 'pushing' space, which is essentially the expansion of space in a certain area to push away objects. Depending on how strong the 'push force', it can act as an unstoppable cannon that launches space and anything that occupied it.
Users can utilize this ability offensively by erasing or rupturing space, obliterating anything that occupied that space as well. If the user's control of space is precise enough, they can selectively tear off limbs or vital organs from their opponents by manipulating and separating the space that they occupy. By pulling and folding space around an object, users can also prevent it from moving or crushing it.
Users can use this ability defensively as well by erasing space in front or around themselves to create a vacuum for which nothing can enter, effectively creating an impenetrable shield around the user. Otherwise, the user can achieve the same effect by infinitely dividing the space between themselves and the opponent, making it impossible for the aggressor to reach the space manipulator.
Advanced users can move objects as if they were telekinetic by controlling the space that they occupy, which also can be used to enhance their own physical abilities, such as strength and speed. Users would also be capable of creating subspaces that can trap objects or be used as powerful projectiles.
They can also use this ability to levitate in the air. At an ultimate level, users would be able to generate spatial paradoxes (i.e. a room appearing bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, a never-ending corridor), phenomena, and other distortions that affect things at a universal level.
They would also be able to manipulate other forms of esoteric space that has properties completely different from space in the real world, allowing them to achieve a plethora of effects, some even on nigh-omnipotent levels.

Smirking a bit with the power of space and time fully registered into my <Soul Archive> and skills ready to use I can't wait till the end of all enemies are done with and enjoy my time with my friends.
…
Right…
I would soon have to deal with their deaths one day or would they join me…
Honestly with the weapon and idea I have in my head I probably won't need my <Nigh-Absolute Immortality> when I create 'that' weapon after my <Dream Image Training>.
*Shiii*
Opening up a portal using <Kindred Link> to Koromaru back at my home base it's time I deal with Salem forces along with other things.
I better hope 2B completes the Power Ring soon enough.
A lot of plans and so little time to spare.
Sigh…
Better get back to work then.
