Chapter 9: Ultimate Skills
As Henrik's consciousness started to return, he heard the voice of Great Sage return to him.
[Alert: Problem detected. Identifying.
Alert: Body and skills have been modified by foreign entity. Would you like me to combat threat]?
'Great Sage, is that really you?' Henrik thought, thrilled to heard [Great Sage]'s voice again. When it didn't respond to his pleas before, he truly though it might be gone. Now, knowing he was wrong, a massive smile appeared on his face as he began to get himself up. By now, Velzard was getting irritated by Henrik.
First he has some strange connection to Veldanava and Veldora, then he got up from her attack with a grin. All the while, she can do nothing because she knows better than to so recklessly ignore Veldanava's words.
"What the Hell are you grinning over?" Velzard asked with clear annoyance in her voice.
[Affirmative. Would you like me to combat foreign threat]?
Henrik thought on this for a moment then realised [Great Sage] was speaking about the new skills he got from The Wish Of Veldanava. In a panicked voice he quickly answered, 'No. They're a gift from an old friend.' Henrik answer thinking about Veldanava.
'Look through my memories of what happened. And while you're at it, what happened to you?'

Answer: Unknown]
'Great Sage. With my new skills, what's the chances of successfully engaging Velzard in combat if we have too?' Henrik asked, completely ignoring Velzard for the moment.
[Answer: Should you engaged True Dragon Velzard with your current skills, your chances at success is 100%.
With your new skills came the ability [Digital Nature]. This would allow you to exist in a purely digital format and move in [Stopped World] should True Dragon Velzard use it]
'Great. I don't want to seriously harm her. I did promise Veldanava to take care of his family, but I will defend myself if need be. Give me a full breakdown of my new skills. Except [Magicule Breeder Reactor], I already know what that does.'

Veldanava, God Of Creation:
Absolute Create – Allows the user to create anything as long as they can imagine it and have enough magicules. This includes skills, new magic, arts. Even whole universes, fundamental laws of the world and ultimate skills are able to be created with enough magicules to create.
Skill Gift – Allows the user to gift a created skill to a subordinate. The subordinate doesn't have to be compatible with the gift but if they're not, the ultimate skill will not be able to be used to its full power. Skills awakened by the user may not be granted.
Call Of God – Allows the user to summon Veldanava from any point in time and space after The Will Of God split. Can only be done in a dire situation and Veldanava will return to when summon should the time not be dire. Can only be used once per century.
Imaginary Collapse – Allows the user to constantly produce and harness the ultimate destructive energy. It is so powerful that only with the help of a manas can it be controlled.
Multidimensional Barrier – It is a barrier type skill that achieves absolute defence through the utilization of an always active multilayer barrier, in combination with dimension fault. It boosts a fool proof defence against physical, elemental and emission type attacks. While there are attacks that could potentially break it, if the user analysis the nature of the incoming attack, they can adjust the barrier to defend them.
King Of The Heroes, Arthur:
Power of The Heroes – Allows user to draw from any hero throughout time and use their abilities. The user must be aware of the hero. Can reach into the past, present and future. Abilities include skills, arts, magic and even ultimate skills.
Ally Enforcement – Allows user to bestow allies with power from the user. This includes magicules, skills, magic, arts. Ally drawing must have a soul corridor open with user.
Eye Of The King – The combined skill of [Analysis and Asses], [All Of Creation], [Chant Annulment], [Risk Prediction]. It allows the user to bypass [Spiritual Attack Nullification] and see the intentions of others. It also allows user to see the past of an item and predict its future moves.
Egg Bestowal – Allows user, as King Of Heroes, to bestow Hero Eggs to any human they wish by commanding a suitable greater spirit to appear during a summoning.
Law Domination – Allows for the absolute control over the laws of the world from either a magical or scientific prospective, from the four basic elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water down to the properties of gravity, heat, inertia, etc.
Spacetime Domination – Allows the user complete control over the elements of space and time, allowing them to perform Spacetime Connection and Instant Motion easily.
Darwin, Lord Of Evolution:
Forced Evolution – Allows user to make a creature evolve at the expense of magicules. The user can decide the path of evolution. If the user has enough magicules, it's even possible to make a creature become a True Dragon, but the required magicules would be immense. Creature must be a living thing and not an inanimate object.
Evolution creation – Allows the user to create a new branch of the evolutionary chain of any species.
Skill evolution – Allows the user to evolve any skill of a target, including unique and ultimate skills. Allows the user influence over the direction of the evolution, boasting an even greater control than Astaroth.
Evolutionary loyalty – Allows the user to make the evolved creature loyal to them and lets the user decide on the degree of loyalty, potentially stripping target of free will. Each evolution MUST increase loyalty].
Henrik's mouth opened wider than should be physically possible. These skills, there was broken, there was Rimuru level broken, there was Anos level broken. But this. This was beyond words. What kind of cheat is [Veldanava, God Of Creation]?
'This isn't possible. What was that Wish Of Veldanava thing? And how did it make me this powerful? This is only the beginning of my journey. There's no way I can be this broken, this quickly.
[Answer: The Wish Of Veldanava is an ancient power, unique only to the first reincarnated, and one of the only two Veldanava ever reincarnated personally. It is the manifestation of Veldanava's regret for your life. And an apology for not being here when you awakened. It is also the last boost in power that will be given to you]
'Amazing. Hey Great Sage. Permanently have [Magicule Breeder Reactor] on, and since I have infinite magicules then, evolve yourself in Raphael. And evolve Predator into Beelzebub'
[Affirmative.
Unique skill [Great Sage] has evolved into the ultimate skill [Raphael, Lord of Wisdom]
Unique skill [Predator] has evolved into the ultimate skill [Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony]
'Really, just like that? I didn't even feel any power draining. I'm going to love this. Still, I do think I should be careful. With these skills, I could destroy the world without realising it. I must exercise caution if I am to not make every living creature my enemy.'
"HEY!" Velzard shouted to Henrik, through the barrier that was still up. "Don't you dare ignore me human. Where are my brothers?"
Henrik, snapped back to reality closed his wide mouth and returned his focus to Velzard.
'Raphael, put down the barrier. It's time to get back on track.'
[Removing defensive barrier]
And just like that, within what seemed like hours but was only a minute at most, the barrier was down. And it was time to face Velzard, and hopefully make her see reason.

Hi, Omni_God2000 here.
First off, I want to say a massive thanks for reading. I know I have failed with previous promises of releases because of irl reasons, but every time I post, I always get amazing numbers. Nearly a month without a post and numbers were nearly unaffected. So thank you all for that. I promise, my irl shit is sorted out and releases are gonna be far more frequent and reliable.
When I reach 20 chapters, I'm going to start a Patreon and release chapters early there, so if you have some spare change lying about and want to support me while getting early chapters and a few other perks, look forward to that.
Finally, I want to warn you all that the direction of the story is about to change drastically. So far, it's been Henrik trying to create and maintain the balance that Rimuru did. But he isn't Rimuru and he's about to learn that the hard way, as well as the effects of removing the one who saved the world from existence.
So look forward to that because it's gonna be insane. This will also allow me to create my own footing in this amazing universe that Fuse created.
There is one drastic change coming in the next two chapters. It may seem uncalled for or unexpected but that's the point, for Henrik to really face reality and learn actions have consequences.
I know the this and the previous chapters were short, so I'm going to make the next one longer to make up for it. These two chapters were mainly to give Henrik his ultimate skills.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned.
Tomorrow, 8PM UK time. Henrik Learns a very hard lesson.
