Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Granting Names and Meeting a Primordial
It has been about 5 days and Adam with Bambietta has been working on getting lots of skills to prepare for when he has a chance to get Ultimate Skills.
Adam has had his multiple body doubles which he can currently have 50 of them at once. 25 of them were to go to almost all settlements and use his Unique Skill: Skill Collection and its Sub Skill: Analysis Copy to copy the skills, magic, and arts of all the monsters in the settlements that his body doubles have been to.
The remaining 25 of them were to go to find monsters, analyse them and do the same thing. However if the monsters attacked his body doubles, they would be killed. After this he has gathered a few more unique skills and also used the Unique Skill: Degenerate to combine most of the random skills into more unique skills.
At this moment, Adam and Bambietta are currently walking in the wild when Adam saw a slime. Adam walked up to the slime and used his Reiatsu to put immense pressure on it.
"Would you like to be granted a name and possibly 2 unique skills? If yes bounce, if no jiggle."
Granted the Extra Skill: Haki.
'Wise Spirit Sage, how much magicules should I use for it's name and for giving it a soul fragment?'
[Estimates a maximum of 10% of the user's total magicules for the name, and a maximum of 5% of the user's total magicules for the soul fragment. It is recommended to only give a first name because if you give a last name within 1 month of it receiving a first name, a monster will not be able to receive the full benefits of receiving a last name.]
The slime bounced twice which made Adam smile. Adam then used material creation to create a bowl and cut his hand, causing blood to fill the bowl, while he put the maximum amount of magicules Wise Spirit Sage suggested. He then gave it to the slime which drunk it.
"Adam? Why are you going to give a Schrift to this slime? Aren't slimes extremely weak?"
"It's because my intuition is telling me that this is a fortunate encounter. I feel that slimes are one of the few creatures that can make it to the top by themselves if they are lucky enough. This is because they are very malleable."
'Wise Spirit Sage, how many Schrifts would this slime be able to withstand and what would you estimate to be the best configuration of the Schrifts?'
[Estimates an absolute maximum of 3 Schrifts and a recommended amount of 2 Schrifts. The best configuration for having 3 Schrifts would be, M, P, and A. The M has a 99% chance to become Mimic, the P has a 80% chance to become Predator, and the A has a 50% chance to become Adapter. The best configuration for 2 Schrifts would be, M, and P. The M has a 99% chance to become Mimic, and the P has a 80% chance to become Predator.]
After the slime drank Adam's blood, Adam then began to give it 3 Schrifts and gave it a name at the same time, using up the maximum amount that was told by Wise Spirit Sage.
"Your name will be Devourer!"
After saying this the slime seemed to go into a deep sleep. Adam then asked Wise Spirit Sage how long it would take to wake up, to which it replied.
[The slime is currently undergoing an evolution, it should take 30 minutes. It is an absolute miracle that this slime is still alive.]
After hearing this Adam smirked and used his Unique Skill: Time Chamber to speed up the process. After close to a minute the slime woke up, it transformed and mimicked how Adam looks.
"Hello. Thank you master for your grace and mercy."
"It's okay. What are your unique skills?"
"Master, my unique skills are called Predator, Mimic, and Adaptation."
[Predator]:
Sub Skills:
[Predation] - It absorbs the target into Stomach. However, if the target is conscious, the success rate greatly decreases. Valid targets include, but aren't limited to; organic matter, inorganic matter, skill effects, and magic.
[Analysis] 「解析, kaiseki」: The absorbed target is studied and analyzed. Craftable items can then be produced. If the required materials are present, duplicates can be produced. In the case of successful skill or magic analysis, the same technique can be acquired.
[Stomach] - A metaphysical space where all eaten or absorbed targets are stored. Items produced via Analysis can also be stored. Anything stored in the Stomach is not affected by the passage of time.
[Mimicry] - Replicates an analyzed target's form and racial characteristics, with capabilities equal to or above the original.
[Isolation] - Harmful materials or unnecessary for analysis can also be stored. They will be used to replace magic energy.
[Mimic]:
Sub Skills:
[Mimicry] - allows the user to mimic a creature that is in their perception or is recorded in the Sub Skill: Mimicry Record.
[Memory Mimicry] - can mimic the memory of the creature the user is currently mimicking
[Personality Mimicry] - can mimic the personality of the creature the user is currently mimicking
[Strength Mimicry] - mimics the strength of the creature the user is currently mimicking
[Ability Mimicry] - mimics the ability of the creature the user is currently mimicking
[Mimicry Record] - records any creature the user has seen, allowing them to mimic into them when wanted.
[Mimicry Copy] - After mimicking a target for a certain amount of time without changing the mimicked target, can copy their skills, magic, and arts. Depending on the strength of the effects of the skills, magic, and arts of the mimicked target, increases the time needed to copy.
[Adaptation]:
Sub Skills:
[Adaptation] - allows the user to adapt to anything, some of these include; Elements, Skills, Magic, Arts, Different types of damage, Environments, Etc.
[Adaptation Record] - record everything the user has adapted to, allowing them to always be immune to what they have adapted to already.
"That seems to be good. I'm going to have a body double take you with it to use predator on some monsters so that you can get some skills."
"Okay master. Is there any skill in particular you want me to learn?"
"If I had to say some; Thought Acceleration, Parallel Calculation, Analytical Appraisal, All of Creation, Analysis, Sage, and Chant Annulment are the ones that I really want you to get. Some other skills would be Water Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Wind Manipulation, Mana Perception, and Ultraspeed Regeneration."
"Do you want the slime to get a Unique Sage Skill?"
"Yes. It might take some time but it should be able to be completed. Just before you leave though Devourer, I will give you a gift."
Adam said before he took out his Zanpukuto again and used it's Bankai.
'Wise Spirit Sage, how many Unique Skills will Devourer's soul be able to withstand?'
[Based on my observation, Devourer is an anomaly among slimes, it should be so rare that in all the time of this worlds existence, not even 1 should have appeared. His soul has the strength to withstand about 5 Ultimate Skills, and probably 500 Unique Skills. I assume that Devourer was created because of your Ultimate Skill: Envy of the Goddess of Luck.]
"Shooting Stars of Fate, use 90% of my current magicules to permanently increase Devourer's talent in all aspects, however put 20% of the magicules to increase his talent at making skills, another 20% to increase his intelligence and wisdom, and another 20% to increase its talent in magicules."
After Adam said that his face turned visibly pale as he used his Unique Skill: Time Chamber. Adam went into it with Bambietta and Devourer, and came out of it 3 hours later with his face returning to the normal complexion.
In this time, within the time chamber, Devourer has learned some skills, these are: the Extra Skill: Mana Perception, Extra Skill: Mimic, Extra Skill: Thought Acceleration, Extra Skill: Parallel Calculation, and the Extra Skill: Analytical Appraisal.
"I'm going to go to see Ramiris again, do you both want to come with me?"
"I'll not go with you. I have to get stronger so that I don't hold you back anymore. Can you please create a Time Chamber for me to train in?"
"I'll go with you, it sounds like fun."
"Okay, I'll create a Time Chamber for you. But please don't forget to come and look for me every now and then, I will miss you."
Adam created a Time Chamber and watched Bambietta go into it as she began to train. Adam and Devourer then went to find Ramiris again.
"Hey…. You're here again. What do you want from me?"
"I'm looking to see if you can teach me how to use Summoning Magic? I want to summon a Daemon so that they can teach me and Devourer lots of magic and some skills."
"I can teach you…. However you will have to use it for the first time when I am watching, and you have to play with me for an hour after you learn it."
"Okay. We're friends after all."
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
Ramiris agreed to teach Adam summoning magic when Devourer turned into Ramiris and shouted at her.
"Is this a slime? How can it turn into me?"
Ramiris was stunned after noticing that the slime turned into her.
"It's a slime that I named Devourer. I granted it the maximum amount of Schrifts its soul could hold which was 3, and turned into 3 Unique Skills. A Schrift is basically a Unique Skill that the Schrift is used on they already possess but they haven't completed it. And a Schrift is basically engraving words onto a soul, allowing them to complete the Schrift, so it doesn't count as how much skills your soul can hold, but it is much more space consuming. Most people can only possess 1 Schrift, I can possess a lot of them, and Devourer possesses 3, and they allow him to get many more Unique Skills and possibly Ultimate Skills if he is lucky enough."
"Do you really expect a slime to be able to withstand an Ultimate Skill?"
"My Unique Skill: Wise Spirit Sage has said that based on the strength of Devourer's soul it will be able to barely withstand 5 Ultimate Skills if its soul is not strengthened further."
"I believe that it should be able to become a True Demon Lord like you."
"But aren't you going to become a chosen hero?"
Ramiris asked confused and decided to not think more about the slime's abnormality. Adam answered her with a smile.
"I don't think that they are contradictory. I am a chosen hero for those that are not my enemies, and I am a demon lord for those that are my enemies. It is like the Light and Darkness elemental, it can exist together without being contradictory."
"I guess that makes sense. Well let me show you how to use summoning magic."
Ramiris then showed Adam how to use summoning magic, to which he learnt immediately from using his Six-Eyes, Sharingan, Byakugan, Wise Spirit Sage, etc.
"I'm going to have a try."
Adam then attempted to summon a Daemon. As the summoning magic worked, a massive pressure emerged from the summoning circle, as a beautiful plump white haired young woman emerged from it.
The woman is an alluring lady with waist-long white hair and crimson red eyes. She is wearing a teal-colored dress.
"Adam run away! You summoned a Primordial!"
"Ara, ara… why are you so scared of me?"
Ramiris shouted at Adam anxiously to which the white haired woman asked them.
"Well… guess that I've got to fight you… don't I?
"Yes. I suppose that that is correct."
"Ahh… I really don't want to use the 3rd form of my Vollstandig, it hurts like hell because my body begins to break apart from the amount of magicules that are injected into me. Ramiris, please find someone to come over quickly, I will probably only be able to fight her for 30 minutes before my body starts to collapse."
Adam told Ramiris as he complained about the pain of using the 3rd form of Vollstandig because his body hasn't had the time to grow and isn't at the requirements to use the 3rd form.
"Ara, ara. What is a Vollstandig? Is it a special technique? Why have I never heard of it in all these years?"
"I won't divulge the information to the enemy."
Adam told the woman as he took out his Zanpukuto and said in a tone devoid of any emotion as he called out its name.
"Bankai, Shooting Stars of Fate."
Adam at the same time activated his Vollstandig, as he said to Ramiris.
"You have to get all the spiritual beings away from me because to get to the 3rd form of my Vollstandig, I will absorb all the magicules in a 30km radius, and can absorb spiritual beings whole."
After 30 seconds, Ramiris has used her Ultimate Skill: Small World to transport all the spiritual beings and Devourer to a different dimension that wouldn't be affected by Adam's Vollstandig.
"Ah~, this is about to hurt a lot. I really want to beat you up because of the suffering I'm about to go through."
Adam then used Sklaverei, absorbing all the magicules within 30km in an instant. Jake entered the 3rd form almost instantly, with his body becoming grown up.
Adam's 3rd from Vollstandig has made the civilisations on his Heiligenschein begin to move as all the different lives he has lived began to show all over his body. The different deaths, different friends, and the 2 people that he hates even after changing positions so many times in his different lives, Yhwach and Aizen.
The different worlds on his wings began to show their glory and showed what happens in them over a long period of time. The rise and fall and prosperity of the worlds, and the end of some worlds.
Adam's temperament changed drastically and seemed to have seen countless things, with his eyes becoming slightly empty as tears fell silently as they rolled down his cheeks.
"I will kill you Yhwach. I won't let you tear apart everything I care about for real, after having to witness it again and again and again."
Adam muttered as his body began to split and heal over and over again, blood began to stream down his body as he charged at the Primordial. The Primordial was stunned at Adam's transformation as his spiritual pressure began to rage out of control, and after she heard what he said, she became extremely intrigued.
"Shooting Stars of Fate, consume a small amount of my magicules to prevent Bambi from noticing what's happening with her Unique Skill: Check Up."
A small amount of magicules were drawn into Adam's Zanpukuto as they seemed to disappear into nothing. The Primordial however was extremely shocked as she felt a slight deviation in fate after the magicules disappeared.
"How interesting, I am intrigued in you human. What do you mean about not letting it happen for real? What is up with your weapon? What are the scenes appearing on your wings, the thing above your head, and all over your body?"
Adam continued to attack the Primordial and started to talk to her to try and take his mind off of the pain even just a little.
"I've been living different lives in simulations of my world through a special kind of Unique Skill, in all of the lives he is almost the only one who kills me, and is the father of all Quincies. I am part Quincy, part Shinigami, and depending on what you classify it to be part of a race, I am also part Hollow from my Fullbring."
Adam said before he began to gasp heavily from the strain his body is currently withstanding, as his muscles begin to rapidly spasm from the repeated regeneration and destruction each part of his body is going through.
"When Shinigamis start their training they are given an Asauchi which they will slowly imprint the essence of their souls into. After this is done they will become Zanpukuto and will have a soul born in it called a Zanpukuto Spirit. A Zanpukuto Spirit has its own name, which when a Shinigami learns it can activate Shikai by saying its release command which contains its name. In Shikai state a Zanpukuto gets different abilities depending on the user, and I guess would increase the magicules of the user when used. A Zanpukuto has a 2nd transformation which is known as Bankai which can be used by saying the Zanpukuto Spirit's true name. In a Bankai state the Zanpukuto is normally 5x to 10x stronger than its Shikai and its abilities will be further enhanced."
Adam explained what a Zanpukuto is to the Primordial as he then said.
"Shooting Stars of Fate, when my regeneration begins to be unable to keep up with the rate at which my body breaks apart, please consume the magicules needed to make it keep up."
Adam then continued to say.
"My Zanpukuto true name is Shooting Stars of Fate and has the effect of granting my wishes by consuming magicules in this world and Reiatsu in my world. It also has the unique ability to be able to use the Shikai and Bankai of other Zanpukuto after I have completely analysed them."
"The Scenes that are appearing from my Vollstandig are the different lives I have lived with my Unique Skill, how I died, my friends in those lives, and the 2 people that I hate no matter what side I am on in the different lives. The different worlds that are appearing are also from my another of my Unique Skills which are both special because they could be counted as Ultimate Skills depending on how they are used, and are granted through a special method."
"Okay. I have decided, if you can fight with me until your body gives out, I will become your subordinate and will try to help you make other Primordial Daemons your subordinates."
The Primordial Daemon decided as she was extremely interested in Adam.
