Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Tweaking The System
The most important stat right now, as far as Mark was concerned, was Mana. Mark had to raise this stat to keep up with the higher demands of the skills he was acquiring. After this, Mark would raise his Strength and then his Agility so that it would keep up with his Stamina and Durability when he added points to them as well. Mark also didn’t want something like what happened with the Eldritch to happen again, so he was going to keep a thousand stat points in reserve for whenever he found himself in a tight spot.

[Congratulations! The User has surpassed EPIC RANK I. The User has gained one-third of the ‘Key of Immortal Love’: The Cradle of Fertility]

[Key of Immortal Love: This is the Key to the dimension created by Freya, the Norse goddess of fertility and love. Although most of the Norse gods were reluctant to involve themselves in the game created by Sozin, Freya and Odin were not and gladly set up worthy tests for the User. The Key has been divided into three parts, and Freya urges the User to earn the remaining two keys in order to begin her trial.]

[To earn the remaining two Keys, the User must achieve PHANTASMAL RANK I]

…

The tip of a key suddenly appeared in Mark’s hand, and he raised it up curiously to take a good look at it. The key was green with a few leaves branching around and growing out of holes in its metal structure. It looked like something you would find in the middle of a forest. Mark was a bit disappointed that he wasn’t going to be getting a new test for passing EPIC Rank I. Mark would have gotten another Divine Skill or even a Divine Artifact if he passed another test, but Mark wasn’t going to complain since he was sure that the reward for the next trial would be much more impressive if it required him to pass three Rank stages just to get the full Key.

‘I wonder why Freya wants me to get it quickly though? What sort of trial does she have set up for me if she’s this eager?’

Mark decided that he wouldn’t think about that too much. It was better not to start imagining the crazy things going through the minds of the gods. Mark willed the key away, and it vanished before he continued manipulating his system.

[Does The User Wish To Send Skill Points To The Selected Skills? Yes/No]

Mark chose “yes,” and the system sent the points to the skills he chose. Mark had a lot more skill points, over seven thousand of them, so he didn’t have to hold back at all in improving his skills.

‘Oh, right, I used some of my points earlier for True Sight, didn’t I?’

Mark suddenly remembered that he used about six hundred points for his True Sight when he met the director of the Superhuman Alliance earlier today so that left Mark with just over six thousand. That was still a lot, so Mark would work with it.

Mark decided that he would first improve his Healing Aura skill to a point where he could use it to at least heal the allies that were in the vicinity around him. That way, Mark wouldn’t have to worry about protecting any injured fighter in the middle of battle, and they could just get up and move out of the way after some healing.

After that, Mark was going to boost his full-body constitution to the next level. Honestly, even though the Demonic Void Apostle was a very useful skill, Mark realized its limitations when he was fighting that Eldritch. It was hard to use the innate skill of the constitution when he was fighting against something that had a lot more mana than him. Even when that Eldritch octopus finally died, Mark knew that it still had about twice as much mana as him. That meant that even if they had kept fighting for another hour, Mark would still not have been able to use his Void Slash at all.

After these two, Mark would then improve his Mana Circulation, Blunt Force Trauma, and Demonic Killer’s Aura. Mark didn’t need to add points to his True Sight since he already added points before, and he also didn’t need to add more points to his Taunting since it was working just fine the way it was for now.

[User has added +500 Skill Points To Full Body Constitution]

Current Full Body Constitution: Ruler of The Null World [Reversal of Causality]: 0/1600

[Ruler of the Null World: This is a powerful full-body constitution that grants the User the innate skill ‘Reversal of Causality’. This allows the User to negate any incoming magical attack by channeling half the mana used by the caster, effectively nullifying spells and rendering the User impervious to damage from magic attacks.]

Effects:

Full Body Augmentation: 65%

Negation: The User is capable of nullifying magic spells by countering them using half of the base mana that the caster used in creating the attack. This only applies to magic attacks that are directly sent at the User and are noticed by the User. AOE and Defensive spells do not apply.

Retention: The User will retain the abilities of his previous constitution [Demonic Void Apostle]. The Innate skill [Void Slash] will receive a modification in order for the User to continue using it without the [Demonic Void Apostle] constitution.

[Void Slash Mana Consumption: 50 MP/Slash]

[The User is advised to work towards raising his mana levels even more to ensure this skill can be properly used in battle]

…

Mark had to sit up immediately when this showed up on his notification tab. That was freaking amazing! Mark had been thinking of a way to deal with magic attacks for a long time now. He thought that he might have to ask Sozin for an artifact or maybe buy something from the Superhuman Alliance because of how vulnerable he was to magic attacks. But this made everything so much easier!

‘I can negate any attack as long as I have the mana for it. And I don’t even have to use all the mana that they used to create it. I only need to use half to negate it.’
