Chapter 1403 New Skills!
Chapter 1403 New Skills!
"Damn, does that not mean that even if I am trapped inside a secret domain and that domain collapses, I would not die?" Max muttered, a look of genuine delight appearing on his face as the implications settled in.
The realization struck him with full clarity. His existence was no longer bound to a single layer of reality.
As long as his dimensions existed, he existed as well, which meant that destruction of external space, collapsing domains, shattered pocket worlds, or unstable secret realms could no longer erase him. At worst, he would be expelled or displaced, but annihilation was no longer a guaranteed outcome.
As he examined the deeper details, another realization followed, one even more reassuring.
"Moreover, from the looks of it, I am simply immune to reality manipulation and spatial laws," Max said softly, his smile widening. This was not immunity in the sense of resistance, but sovereignty.
External spatial authority could no longer overwrite his existence, distort his position, or forcibly erase him from reality. Teleportation locks, spatial seals, reality folding techniques, and forced dimensional suppression would all fail the moment they tried to act directly upon him.
His body now existed as a stabilized dimensional constant, something that reality itself had to accommodate rather than control.
Max nodded slowly, satisfaction spreading through him as he absorbed the magnitude of this change. Previously, space had been something he manipulated and fought against. Now, it was something that recognized him.
He was no longer merely a traveler through dimensions, but an existence acknowledged by them.
With calm anticipation, he moved on to check the next skill.
----
[Dimensional Immunity]
– Type: Passive.
– Effect: Gains partial immunity to any dimension he had unlocked.
– Description: Their laws recognize him, their pressure bends before him, and their hostility fades. Any power born from an unlocked dimension can no longer fully affect him.
----
"Partial immunity?" Max almost jumped when he read the effect and description of the skill, his eyes widening slightly as he processed what it truly meant. "Does this mean that flame, ice, and lightning based attacks will deal significantly less damage to me?"
A slow smile formed on his face as understanding settled in. This was not a simple resistance that could be bypassed with stronger attacks. It was an inherent mitigation woven into his existence, reducing the effectiveness of those elements the moment they tried to harm him.
Considering how frequently those elements appeared in battles within the Divine Realm, this ability alone would already place him at a considerable advantage.
The more he thought about it, the more intriguing the skill became. Partial immunity implied progression. It was not a fixed state, but a foundation that could potentially be refined and expanded.
Max found himself wondering whether, one day, this partial immunity could be elevated into absolute immunity, where those elements would no longer be able to harm him at all. The thought lingered in his mind for a moment.
He was not sure if such a state was truly possible, or if the laws of the world would ever allow an existence to completely disregard entire elemental authorities. Still, given everything he had already achieved, he could not dismiss the possibility outright.
Shaking his head lightly, Max chose not to dwell on it any further for now. Speculation would not strengthen him. Understanding and practice would. With renewed focus, he shifted his attention and proceeded to check the next skill.
----
[Dimensional Assimilation]
– Type: Active.
– Effect: The host gains the authority to assimilate foreign dimensions into his own existence.
– Description: By force or consent, fragmented worlds, pocket realms, and unstable dimensions can be absorbed and rewritten, becoming part of the host's dimensional framework. Once assimilated, their laws, space, and energy are no longer independent but operate under the host's control.
----
"I see," Max muttered as understanding dawned on him, his eyes shining with unmistakable excitement. "With this skill, I can absorb any other dimension that exists in this world and assimilate it as one of my own."
The more he examined the details, the more impressive the ability became. This was not a temporary takeover or a superficial merge. It was true assimilation, where an external dimension would lose its independent existence and become a permanent part of his dimensional system.
"This ability is extremely good," Max said quietly, his mind already racing with possibilities. If such a thing existed in the Divine Realm, then secret domains, inherited spaces, fragmented worlds, or unstable pocket dimensions would all become potential assets rather than opportunities to fight over.
Once assimilated, that dimension would fall completely under his authority, its laws, environment, and resources answering only to him.
Max imagined stepping into a secret domain discovered by countless factions and instead of competing for its treasures or risking his life within it, he could simply absorb it entirely.
By doing so, he would not only gain its resources but also its structure, its unique laws, and any hidden secrets embedded within it. Everything inside would belong to him, and no one else would be able to interfere.
The implications were staggering. A dimension that once posed danger or limitation would instead become a sanctuary, a weapon, or a cultivation ground entirely under his control. With such an ability, even the most dangerous secret realms could be turned into stepping stones for his growth.
Max exhaled slowly, forcing his excitement to settle. Abilities of this caliber were never granted lightly, and he was certain that conditions and limits existed that he had yet to discover.
Even so, the potential was undeniable. If he ever encountered a secret domain in the Divine Realm, he knew exactly what he would do. He would assimilate it, make it his own, and ensure that every law and existence within it bent to his will.
----
[Keeper's Dominion]
– Type: Active.
– Effect: Grants the ability to have dominion over others.
----
"There is no description for this skill," Max frowned as he stared at the empty space where an explanation should have been.
"It grants the ability to have dominion over others," he murmured, slowly repeating the words to himself as he tried to grasp their meaning. Dominion was not something vague or symbolic. It implied authority, hierarchy, and an underlying recognition that went far deeper than simple intimidation or control. Still, without a proper description, the exact mechanics of the skill remained unclear.
After thinking for a moment longer, Max let out a quiet sigh. "I suppose I will have to test this skill on others to truly understand it." There was no other way. Some abilities could only be comprehended through use, especially those tied to authority and sovereignty rather than raw power.
