Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 294 The Award Ceremony! Part-5.

An awakener's mentality, ambition, and talent all have a significant impact on their strength and maximum potential.

A person with low talent will find it difficult to dream too high, and without a big ambition, strength won't be on your side.

Without a proper mentality, you won't be able to find your 'Path' and may remain stuck without any progress for a long time.

Every path' has a destination.

An individual's 'Path' changes directions according to their skills, mentality, ambition, and talent.

Usually, it's nearly impossible to see the end of the 'Path' too early, but sometimes, when an 'Anomaly' happens, you can get a glimpse of that certain 'Destination' before you even reach it.

In legends and myths, some refer to it as the ultimate 'Destination' of your 'Path', and some say that it's the power to manipulate the 'Laws' of the world at the end of a 'Path'.

No matter the name, it is speculated that once you reach 'Destination' of your 'Path', you end up with a power so vast that even the universe itself seems to pale in front of you.

A power that can make even the demi-gods tremble in fear, a power that can be used to rule over a law of the world, can elevate a being to their supreme form of existence.

It is said that only one person ever achieved that power in this world, and that was King Allen Von Reinhart.

In the whole universe, there was no one after him or before him who had ever achieved that level of power.

The power that is extremely important if you want to ascend past the realm of a demi-god, a power whose absence became the reason why all demi-gods are unable to ascend higher,.

Only after reaching the end of your 'Path' and understanding the true 'Nature' of at least one 'Law' of the world can you achieve this power.

That power is called 'Divinity'.

…

[Ding! You have used the 'Blessing of the World Tree' as a medium for enhancement!]

[Ding! You already have a skill obtained from making a wish to an SS ranker!]

[Ding! The blessing will enhance the skill 'Concentration' as this wish is compatible with the previous one!]

[Ding! The blessing of two SS-rankers will now be used as a 'Medium'… hidden conditions fulfilled!]

[Ding! You have already mastered a legendary rank skill to the state of seeing its 'Flow'… hidden conditions fulfilled!]

[Ding! You have already cast away more than half of your emotions and feelings… Hidden conditions fulfilled!]

[Warning! The 'Law' of the 'Sword' is too corrupted in this world; it may cause problems if you try to manifest it!]

[Ding! 'True Immunity' got triggered! You are unaffected by corruption, and the 'Law' of 'Sword' can be manifested without side effects now… hidden conditions fulfilled!]

[Warning! You are still too weak to bear the power of the 'Law' of this world!]

[Ding! ???? A??m??? has interfered with the strings of destiny!]

[Ding! As an anomaly, you are immune to the interference of the 'Will of Heavens'!]

[Ding! All hidden conditions were met!]

[Ding! Manifesting 'Divinity'…. Error! Host is too weak to bear this power!]

[Ding! Retrying… error!... host has yet to reach the end of his 'Path'….]

[Ding! Retrying… error!.... host has only fulfilled a hidden condition partially…]

[Ding! Perimeters changed… host will only be able to wield an 'imperfect' version until all conditions are fulfilled!]

[Ding! Manifesting the Imperfect Version of 'Divinity'…]

[Ding! Congratulations, You have successfully formed an imperfect 'Divinity'!]

[Ding! Congratulations!! You have manifested the 'law' of 'sword' into your body and have upgraded the skill 'Concentration' into 'Imperfect Sword Heart'!]

…

Although many changes had happened inside Rio's body, there weren't any big movements this time.

Unlike when ascending to a higher realm, a mana tornado didn't appear, nor did any flashy things happen.

Instead, a power fluctuation in the 'Space-time' fabric was created when Rio manifested his 'Divinity'.

That powerful spatial fluctuation traveled through the 'space-time' fabric itself; thus, it had immense speed and traveled far and wide. It will slowly dissipate after traveling for several light years from Earth.

All SS-rankers in the whole solar system felt that spatial fluctuation, and everyone looked in the direction of the Elven Empire in confusion.

Not even SS-rankers knew what the meaning of that spatial fluctuation was, and no one knew that this spatial fluctuation marked the beginning of a new era.

An era where demi-gods will not be the peak powerhouses of the world has begun with the appearance of this spatial fluctuation.

…

Near the World Tree, in the air.

Rio opened his eyes and found that he was still standing in the air, and he had only gone unconscious for a moment, but many things had changed in that small time frame.

He could feel that he had become much stronger than ever before, and he could feel that his senses had been boosted a lot.

'But… I feel more empty than before… Did I lose more of my emotions just now? If this continues… will I end up becoming an emotionless robot one day? Sigh…'

Rio couldn't help but shake his head. He was expecting that he would become strong, but he never expected that his emotions would get further suppressed.

'But even if I had known, I would have still done it…'

The boost that this opportunity has brought to Rio is immense.

Rio glanced at the world tree and pondered.

'Well… at least I was peaceful enough in grabbing this chance…'

In the original storyline, Fade destroys the Elven Empire. How can he let the world tree survive? Then he went ahead and destroyed the world tree and absorbed its essence.

He used the essence of the world tree as a medium to upgrade his skill that he obtained from the lake of wishes.

After killing Marik and collecting all the essence from the Lake of Wishes to enhance his abilities, he utilized the essence of the World Tree, which further enhanced his skills.

Although what Fade did was totally different from Rio's method, the outcome was the same.

The only difference is that Rio took these chances in a more peaceful manner, while Fade just snatched them forcefully.

Rio emerged victorious in the tournament, garnered recognition from the world tree, and subsequently received a reward from its essence to utilize it as a conduit for fulfilling a wish.

The essence provided by the world tree was similar to the essence of that lake of wishes.

Their function was similar too; they both were acting as a 'medium' to awaken to something that suited him best.

Rio already knew the function of this essence and also knew that if he absorbed the essence from the world tree, he would definitely be able to upgrade his skill, 'Concentration'.

But even Rio hadn't thought that he would have fulfilled so many hidden conditions by now that he would end up upgrading his 'Concentration' skill directly to a level that he never even expected.

'Been a while since I last looked at my status panel…'

[Items: An Unknown Fragment (???), Formless Weapon (bound to the soul), Lamont's Robe.]

'Sigh… I have improved so much. This panel once belonged to a weak student of the academy, and now… I have come a long way, it seems…'

After shaking his head, Rio glanced at the description of his newly acquired ability.

[Divinity: Imperfect Sword Heart]

[Description: The final destination of those who follow the way of sword.

The formation of a 'sword heart' symbolized that you have become one with the sword and have manifested the law of 'sword' into your own existence.

With just another push, this might be your final doorway to the realm of true divinity…]

[Effect 1: Enhances all stats by 2.5 times.]

[Effect 2: Immune to poison, charm attacks, and illusions.]

[Effect 3: Passively enhances the body to be more physically compatible with the law of 'Sword'.]

[Effect 6: Enhances the user's sword type attacks immensely!]

[Effect 7: Locked due to the imperfect state of the 'Sword Heart']

'This thing is just too overpowered… How the heck did I end up getting something so broken all of a sudden…'

Rio came here thinking that he might get a strong skill or something, but who could have thought that he would get something so broken that even he would feel speechless.

Just by looking at the very first effect of this 'Sword Heart', you can tell that it's a broken power.

'Contentration' used to give Rio a two times boost in physical capabilities, but now this 'Sword Heart' that originated from 'Concentration' being upgraded will give him a 2.5 times boost.

Moreover, 'Sword Heart' is not a 'skill', it's a manifestation of a law directly into his body, which means he can keep this thing active for an indefinite amount of time without using any mana at all.

In other words, Rio's stats are permanently on '250' now… Those are the stats of an early SS-ranker.

This ability is so broken that Rio is already at the level of an early SS-ranker in terms of sheer stats.

Keep in mind that stats are just the base; genuine SS-rankers have insanely pure mana, and their body-strengthening techniques are hundreds of times better than Rio's.

So, if they use mana, their stats will be boosted much higher… which Rio can't do yet, but still… Rio is slowly catching up to them now; it won't be
