An enormous spaceship decorated with heavenly wings, golden colors, and the insignia of the Light Heralds flew through outer space, slowly getting closer to their destination, the last planet in the Orion Planetary System, Ginnungagap!
This spaceship was loaded with powerful humans, all of them being X-Rank at minimum. Their power exuded in large quantities as they all held golden or white auras of power, showing that they cultivated the power of Light Attribute the most.
Sent by the planet of Aurora, led by the Supreme Deity of Brightness, his large spaceship was packed with Elite Light Heralds and led by a powerful member of Aurora's Royal Family, Loid Goldencrown.
Lord Loid had woke up from his closed meditation and cultivation over a large Light Formation which condensed essence and particles in the environment and converted them into Light Essence and even Light Attribute Particles, enhancing his cultivation speed and power as long as he cultivated and meditated over time.
Of course, compared to slaughtering other living beings and absorbing their vitality, or by consuming special concoctions or elixirs, this was a very slow method of cultivation.However, it was better than nothing, and he used this time as he traveled to his destination to cultivate as much as he could.
Due to this, he had recently reached Rank 7 of the Pseudo Demi Deity Realm, which made Loid's flashing aquamarine eyes release bright light in excitement. His entire body exuded a new quality of power, and he could see his stats increasing through his status panel.
After such a long time of closed cultivation, Loid felt lethargic and rather tired, as he quickly stood up and began to do some exercises to get his body accustomed to moving. After that, he moved to the bathroom and took a shower.
As he walked outside of his room, his assistant greeted him.
"Lord Loid, nice to meet you. It seems that your closed cultivation session has gone excellent, you've raised one Rank! Amazing!" he said.
"…Indeed, I do feel stronger. But how strong is that compared to the abomination that I must slay?" wondered Loid.
"Probably stronger, that entity shouldn't be stronger than X-Rank at most!""I see… How long until we arrive?" asked Loid.
"Approximately less than a week, a few days. Through the artifact that the Supreme Deity left for us, we can track the abomination through the emanation of dark energy it produces, it had been left marked by the Curse of the Galaxy, so it is very easy to track now. We will be moving directly where it is and attack it with all we have."
"I see… We better prepare well, it might not be as weak as you imagine…" said Loid.
…
Meanwhile, after Chaos finished evolving, he was quickly given the artifact he was waiting for. Although he could have retrieved it earlier, he took way too much time making up houses and several other things, so he never had time to get this.
Now that he had decided to take a break, he rushed upstairs into his castle, as he was greeted by the handsome Edward, the Elf Librarian, and Alchemist, who was currently with many other apprentice alchemists preparing concoctions and small accessories or artifacts.
"Oh, my lord, welcome." Said Edward, as all the students opened their eyes wide open as they saw Chaos come here out of nowhere, everyone except Edward kneeled in silence.
"Relax, I came here to retrieve the commission," said Chaos.
"Ah yes, the artifact, it is over the table next to you, inside the little wooden box," said Edward.
Chaos nodded as he grabbed the wooden box, opening it to reveal a beautiful gold bracelet with many crystals encrusted on it.
It was an even higher quality version of the bracelets the students were wearing. The Synthesis Bracelet was an essential item for Alchemist, as I let them perform Synthesis and merge items and ingredients inside a Magical Cauldron to create all sorts of new items. It also seemed to have the function of not only merging items but also artifacts and even Skills through the System, but this was often not encouraged, as fused Skills would usually end up wasting the potential of a person, not everyone had so many Skills as Chaos after all.
Chaos glanced at the beautiful bracelet that many of the members present looked with shiny eyes, wishing to have one.
However, to their horror, Chaos opened his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs, as he threw the entire thing inside his mouth and began to bite and munch it, crunching sounds resonated through the entire room.
The students glanced with horror as Chaos munched the bracelet and then swallowed it. Seconds after, he gained a new Skill.
Ding!
[You learned the following Skills]
[Synthesis]
[Job-Apprentice Alchemist]
…
It seems that he not only acquired Synthesis but even a Job Skill! This was perhaps due to the bracelet itself making anyone that wore it an apprentice alchemist, and it was their greatest tool.
"Interesting, I gained a Job too… are there more accessories that grant Jobs?" asked Chaos.
"Why yes, there are some for Craftsman, Blacksmith, Apothecary, Scientist, and more… Does my lord desires to commission them? I could get them ready in a few days," said Edward.
"I would appreciate it," said Chaos.
"Very well, my lord, I shall work on them whenever I get free time," said Edward.
"Thank you, now, you can resume your class," said Chaos, as he walked outside, leaving all the students heartbroken.
"Teacher, why did lord Chaos ate the precious Bracelet?!" cried a Chaos Hobgoblin.
"That's because our almighty lord can acquire the power of whatever he devours," said Edward.
"So… he acquired the Synthesis Skill?!" asked a young Blue Oni girl.
"Indeed. And each time he eats something new, he can get new Skills from it. Isn't it a wonderful ability? Through this means, our lord can rise into higher levels of power endlessly as long as he has challenges…" said Edward.
The students, who were unaware of this truth, were left surprised.
Meanwhile, Chaos went back to his room to fuse Skills at long last, he was feeling excited about it.
