The Eternal Family

Chapter 14: I'm so strong!

Calming the soul and its unbridled power,

Harry closed his eyelids shut and clenche his fists as the sheer outlandish amount of fleshly power traversed through his cells and lit them up with its strong vibrance — making his whole body extremely taught and strong as an overall evolution was given to his whole foundation of life.

His current status was:

Strength: 4

Defence: 4

Stamina: 3

Agility: 3

what did this even represent?

Having the physique of 3 or 4 people with maxed human mortal Potential combined in a single body?

His strength was simply explosive by human standards, if he didn't have similarly tough bones and body due to Defense stat, he would have broken down by himself.

how strong was this EXACTLY though?

Assuming that the strength of the fused body is the combined strength of the five greatest possible mortal men,

at the best of mortals without using abilities, at max people could lift weights near 600 kg ( more than 1150 pounds)

that level multiplied by 5, Harry could effortlessly lift Cars from Ace's previous world like Honda Fix from right under it, pretty easily.

that was a super great level of fitness!

However, it is at the same time important to note that strength is not simply a matter of adding up the strength of different muscles.

The strength of a person also depends on factors such as muscle coordination, body mechanics, and neural control, not to mention experiance in ceramtain situations.

Therefore, while the fused body was significantly stronger than a single ordinary person, the actual amount of strength increase would depend on how effectively the muscles and nervous system could work together.

It is also worth noting that strength is not the only factor that determines physical abilities, as endurance(defence), agility, and flexibility(included in agility stat) are also important.

Overall, while a man's body filled with the strength of 5 men fused may seem like a formidable force, the actual strength increase and overall physical abilities of the fused body would depend on various factors and would be difficult to quantify.

This was why Ace hated the thought of quantifying strength so much. It was too confusing.

Yet, you could consider him a hulk among men, and a bulldozer in war if provided weapons of steel...not to mention he had supernatural abilities.

After a minute of Narcissistic pondering, Harry moved on to the important part;

[Abilities(Gifts): Lustful Absorption, DreamWalker]

skipping Lustful Absorption and clicking on DreamWalker.

Harry saw the same yet different data from his sister on his ability description:

[DreamWalker: The Empress Of Dreams' Eternal Ability. An ability that was taken from a mere mortal level to the Eternal level by the Eternal Empress Of Dreams, becoming a great art of an ability throughout the ages as it continues its walk throughout history.

Her Eternal blood runs deep in the Gifted's body, and she was her one and only successor in name in this generation. Yet the heir of the Flowing Blood stole the peach and brought the seeds with him, planting it into his own soul. This ability's user will always be the lord of the subconscious mind and Dreams once they learn to use it. Further uses Unknown.]

licking his lips with a merry smirk, Harry happily pondered on how this ability could be made use of...

this was a legendary Ancestral ability of the Lust Royalty, so he knew what the 5 stages of the ability were, it was common knowledge here.

In Stage 0 alone, the use will be slightly resistant to Illusions, and in stage 1 the Gifted can even intrude dreams of others.

And going further only made it more ridiculously strong, to the point... In stage 5, the Gifted is absurdly strong with Illusions.

No one can even differentiate truth and illusions infront of them.

Of course, the stage 2, 3 and 4 also gave great boosts, This ability was not one of the best in the whole world for nothing.

In a talented person's hand, it could do wonders.

Almost All abilities had infinite potential though, after all, every stage you reach, you get a new feature of the ability!

Or in other words, you see another face of your own ability. After all, Gifts were just like body parts, they never decided their limits on their own.

A hand would never say to a man that I can't draw. The man's mind does.

All things had infinite potential, you just have to use energy wisely and develop it.

For example, Hands, They were really handy body parts for humans

At first seemingly not very useful, they are very great at a multitude of tasks ranging from painting, fighting, sculpting and even pleasuring.

Abilities were like these body parts, they had infinite uses, and you only had to find them and make use of them for yourself.

as a wise Venerable once said, There was no strongest Gift, only the strongest Gifted.

Of course, some anomalies stand out in the end, like Lustful Absorption; but who said, that such ungodly gifts came without a price?
