Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: OP trait III

“Mira, step forward,” Aiden commanded. As she knelt, the same process began anew. Aiden activated Paradoxical Perfection, and her Keen Vision was enhanced, allowing her to see through illusions and hidden paths. The reconstruction was excruciating, but she welcomed it, knowing the strength that awaited her.

“Celine,” he said, and she joined the line. As Aiden touched her head, her Mender of Wounds trait expanded. She felt a sharp pain as her powers deepened, enabling her to heal others more effectively. Tears formed in her eyes, but she fought to remain composed.

Next came Tara. Aiden activated the spell, and she felt her Minor Elemental Affinity: Water transform into a powerful control over water. The reconstruction surged through her, and the pain was intense, but she gritted her teeth, determined to embrace the power being bestowed upon her.

Then Isla stepped forward. As Aiden enhanced her Stone Skin, she gasped as the pain coursed through her body, granting her formidable resilience against physical attacks. The sensation of her skin hardening was both agonizing and exhilarating.

“Nina,” he called next. As she knelt, Aiden amplified her Farsight. The reconstruction brought forth a wave of pain as her vision expanded, allowing her to see glimpses of the future. She winced but remained focused on the benefits of her new abilities.

When Faye approached, Aiden infused her Quick Reflexes with extraordinary agility. The process felt like lightning racing through her veins, leaving her breathless. Yet, she felt the thrill of newfound speed surging through her, pushing past the pain.

Next was Aria. As he enhanced her Light Bearer ability, she felt the overwhelming energy coursing through her, transforming her essence. The pain was sharp, but she focused on the ability to create brilliant orbs of light that could blind foes or decimate the darkest creatures.

Lila stepped up next, and her Minor Wind Manipulation was elevated. As the winds began to swirl around her, she felt her body being reshaped by the elemental energy. The pain was intense, but she reveled in her connection to the air.

Aiden then called Rhea. Enhancing her Beast Whisperer ability brought a wave of transformation that felt like her very spirit was being rewritten. The pain was nearly unbearable, but she embraced the bond she would now share with the creatures around her.

As Selene knelt before him, Aiden amplified her Poison Resistance. The process felt like fire coursing through her veins, but she welcomed the immunity to the deadliest toxins that would come with it.

Finally, Yara approached. As Aiden activated Paradoxical Perfection, her Soundless Movement trait was transformed. She felt her entire being shift and change, the pain of reconstruction reminding her of the power she was gaining.

As each woman received their enhancements, Aiden watched them, his eyes were still apathic ‘They were enhanced but it didn’t make their trait to powerful, just elevation from Lesser to grad’

Aiden now understood the limitations of his trait. It could make anything perfect, but the things he needed to enhance were limited by their own potential.

Being like Roselia, whom Aiden summoned and created with many boosts, she possessed a higher amount of untapped potential than these women, leading to a drastic effect on her compared to them.

Well, it’s better to have this understanding, he thought. It may not seem very powerful, but humans were the most potent race now, as only they had an affinity with all elements. While his Paradoxical Perfection could elevate traits, it meant that although their traits might not be inherently powerful, they now had peak affinities to all elements, making them more talented than anyone else.

All thirteen women could now be called geniuses, provided they possessed the great comprehension necessary to understand all laws and principles.

After some time, they stopped squirming and returned to a kneeling position. Aiden looked at them and noticed how their beauty had been enhanced. If that bandit leader had been alive, he might have tried to enslave some of them for himself, he thought, remembering how that thug had died while riding a woman.

It was indeed true; all of them were stunning, rivaling many beings from his past two lives.

[Here, the beauty standard is high,] Nexus added. [After all, even here lowest rank is equivalent to the highest rank elsewhere.]

Aiden nodded. “All of you now go and practice with your newfound strength. The ones who reach Peak Rank 1 fastest will be my maid,” he announced.

As he spoke, the women’s eyes blazed with determination. They all looked at each other and bowed to Aiden, saying in unison, “We will not let you down!”

Aiden nodded in response, as all of them left.

As they left Roselia spoke “master, they are not worthy of it” She said looking at all 13 women with disdain.

“You might be in a surprise then” Aiden chuckled as he said.

Roselia frowned, not understanding what he meant, but she didn’t question him and simply waited to see what Aiden intended.

I should also begin my practice, he thought to himself as he started to stabilize the laws with his busy mind. It was easy, as Infinite Insight guided him on exactly what he needed to do to achieve fast assimilation.

Aiden closed his eyes and focused, feeling the flow of mana around him. The air crackled with energy as he began to channel the laws he had studied over the millennia. Each intricate pattern of energy resonated with his will, allowing him to manipulate them with precision.

Meanwhile, Roselia watched him intently, curious about his methods. She could sense the sheer power radiating from him as he stabilized the laws. Despite her confusion, a part of her felt inspired by his determination and skill.

As Aiden continued, he noticed small fluctuations in the laws around him. They were unstable yet familiar, and he quickly adjusted his focus to correct them. His Infinite Insight guided him with uncanny accuracy, pointing out the precise adjustments needed to maintain equilibrium.
