Exploring the Great Thoth
Hala wandered through the vast desert, her mind replaying the memories that had resurfaced. Each step she took echoed with the energy of the celestial and infernal powers that coursed through her, yet there was something else—something new and mysterious—hovering near her. She could sense its presence, a strange orb of energy that had been following her since the moment she woke up.
After hours of aimless wandering, she stumbled upon a cave—a stunning hidden sanctuary carved by nature itself. The entrance was surrounded by smooth rock formations, and inside, a crystal-clear stream of water ran through the cavern, reflecting the glowing lights from the cave's ceiling. Stalactites hung above like the teeth of a cosmic beast, but the space itself felt peaceful, almost welcoming.
Hala, feeling the need to rest and explore the orb's mystery, settled beside the stream. The water's soft trickling filled the air as she sat down, gazing at the orb that had been floating near her since she awoke in this world. It radiated a soft, ethereal light, flickering between silver and gold, hovering just above her shoulder like a small guardian spirit.
She extended her hand toward the orb, her fingers brushing against its surface, and felt a surge of energy. The Great Cosmic System activated, analyzing the orb instantly.
"Unidentified energy source detected. Performing in-depth analysis… Complete."
The Great Cosmic System's voice chimed in her mind, and a screen appeared before her, revealing the nature of the mysterious object.
Skill Orb Identified: Absorption Required.
Absorption will grant the following: Great Thoth Skill
Skill Description:
The Great Thoth skill is modeled after the wisdom and knowledge of Thoth, the Egyptian God of wisdom, writing, and magic. It functions similarly to the Great Sage skill, granting unparalleled knowledge, the ability to analyze and optimize strategies, and access to cosmic and divine knowledge stored within the universe. It is an enhancement to the existing Great Cosmic System and acts as a living encyclopedia, guiding the user with instant calculations, tactical advice, and the ability to learn new skills and techniques at an accelerated rate.
Hala's heart skipped a beat. The Great Thoth skill was immense in its potential. It would not only heighten her already vast abilities but also connect her directly to the knowledge of the cosmos, much like the Great Sage skill that Rimuru Tempest wielded. With this skill, she would have access to near-limitless wisdom, allowing her to strategize in ways that surpassed her enemies, learn advanced magic, and master new techniques instantly.
Without hesitation, she initiated the absorption.
"Absorbing Skill Orb…"
As the last of the glowing energy from the Skill Orb faded into her body, Hala felt a surge of clarity wash over her. The presence of the Great Thoth skill was now fully active within her mind. It was powerful, vast, and serene—yet also intimate, like a wise mentor ready to guide her every step. She sat quietly in the cave, allowing the connection to settle, and then, almost instinctively, she felt the presence of Great Thoth stir, ready to speak.
A calm, measured voice echoed within her thoughts, clear yet gentle, filled with divine wisdom.
"Hello Hala, I am the Great Thoth. As a skill granted by divine power, I am here to guide, assist, and enhance your journey. Allow me to explain my functions and capabilities in detail so that you may fully understand the scope of what I can offer."
Hala nodded, feeling the soothing presence of Great Thoth take root deeper in her consciousness. The skill wasted no time in detailing its core features.
