MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith
chapter-1017

Once he was done reading through the notifications involving his spear, Valyr retrieved Sana from his back, getting a better look of how much his spear had transformed after absorbing the blood of the Greater Tidemother.

Though he knew that his spear had taken on a deeper crimson color due to the influence of the Greater Tidemother's blood, Valyr did not take note of the other changes that occurred to the spear because of it.

For one, the spear tip seemed to have gotten longer and sharper than before, sporting a geometric look to it that made it look more like a precious ruby than an actual spear tip.

Then, supporting this spear tip were multiple crimson tendrils that looked similar to the Greater Tidemother's legs, tightly gripping onto the base of the tip as it connected it to the shaft.

Swinging around to see how sturdy the connection between the spear tip and the shaft were, Valyr slightly nodded in agreement as he noticed that the same tendrils holding the spear tip also extended to connect to the spear shaft.

In a way, the transformation his spear underwent made it look as if it were a massive spider lily.

A deadly one at that.

"[Superior Analysis]." Watching the spear glisten gold under the rays of the sun piercing through the room's window, Valyr had a bit of expectation as the spear's description appeared before him, only for all of them to be surpassed in an instant.

Though brought to greater heights thanks to the nefarious energy imbued in it by the Alltide, the same being eventually removed that nefarious energy, giving the potential that had been unearthed by the action to fully blossom.

In a way, it has gained the recognition of the Alltide, with the being considering it a weapon that has finally begun to fully embody the strength of a true Tidemother.

<Innate Skill 1: Recognition of the Alltide - The Alltide recognizes this weapon as fearsome under the right hands. Increases the user's DEX and Attack stat by 10% when equipped.> <Innate Skill 2: Baptism of the Alltide - The Alltide has unearthed part of the weapon's latent potential. Increases the amount of XP the user obtains by 10% when killing foes.>

<Innate Skill 3: Tidemother's Descent - The Alltide recognizes that the weapon fully embodies the strength of a Greater Tidemother. Allows the user to transform the weapon in a Tidemother that inherits 60% of the user's current stats.

With a nascent soul within the weapon being awakened, the weapon has the ability to fight autonomously. Lasts for 5 minutes. Cost: 20% of the user's HP and MP. Cooldown: 1 hour.>

Remarks: Now free from its shackles, this weapon has the strength and ability to capture the attention of many beings. It now has the potential to reach levels of strength normally considered unlikely.

Going through the changes brought about by the transformation, the first thing Valyr noticed was the massive increase in the spear's Attack stat, which was boosted by roughly 50%.

Of course, if he were to compare it to something like the Azure Serpent Staff under Sellifer's hands, then even the spear's updated strength seemed to be lacking.

Nevertheless, Valyr was certain that he'd be able to have his spear match that strength sooner or later, considering that there were still more Tidemother variants he could have his spear absorb.

Then again, even though Valyr was glad to see the spear becoming stronger, what truly caught his attention were the skills the spear had unlocked after the transformation.

Unsurprisingly, with the curse on the spear being removed by the Alltide, the spear did not periodically siphon his strength anymore, allowing Valyr to finally use the spear just like he used to in the past.

However, those thoughts somewhat shifted after reading through the descriptions of the three skills the spear now had, with the final one piquing his interest.

"A summoning skill..." muttered Valyr to himself after reading through the spear's two passive skills. "Well, if I think about it, it'd be better to call it a transformation skill than a summoning skill."

As the thought came to mind, Valyr thought about the True Gale Wolf Armor he'd given to Myst, specifically the skill it had to summon a Gale Wolf that inherited Myst's stats.

In terms of mechanics, [Tidemother's Descent] worked similarly in that matter, where the Tidemother the skill created would inherit a portion of Valyr's stats.

However, unlike the skill attached to the True Gale Wolf Armor, [Tidemother's Descent] would fully transform the spear into a Tidemother.

Curious as to how that would work, Valyr decided to save the question for after he ascended to Rank 4, closing his screen as he asked Sana with a faint smile.

"How are you feeling?"

'Better than ever, Master,' replied Sana, her aura that of jubilation as it spoke in Valyr's mind. 'With the curse now gone, I'm finally able to help you again!'

"I'll be relying on you in the future," said Valyr in response, chuckling as he affixed the spear onto his back once more.

Returning his attention to the notification screen he brought up earlier, Valyr went ahead and removed all of the notifications he'd already gone through, mostly the ones involving Alfaera's quest and Sana's transformation.

With that, he finally looked through the notifications he'd gotten from the Alltide in detail, prompting a faint smile to appear on his face as he brought up the description of the titles he'd gained during that time.

Ding!

[Glancing at the Edge of Divinity] (Title)

Rarity: Mythic

Most of the description has been omitted.

With your energies embodying a portion of the strength of the Divine, it could be said that

greater paths shall open up for you in the future.

Effects:

> 25% boost to the maximum amount of mana, Void Energy, and Prime Azure Energy one can

hold

> 25% increased efficacy in controlling mana, Void Energy, and Prime Azure Energy

[True Defier of Fate] (Title)

Rarity: Mythic

Most of the description has been omitted.

Those who've reached the pinnacle of strength are all considered True Defiers of Fate due to

their act of going against natural order.

And now, you've become one of those beings as well.

Effects:

> 15% boost to all stats

> 15% boost to the user's maximum HP and MP

> 15% boost to the user's Attack and Defense stat

> Greater challenges

> Greater potential

Naturally, with how wide of a gap there was between him and the Alltide, it went without

saying that the system viewed his actions quite favorably.

Though all he really did was resist against the Alltide's energy as it tried to form into a mark on his back, that action was more than enough to garner the system's attention, even going so far as to give Valyr a title that was better than [Myth-transcending Mortal].

Then again, Valyr's curiosity was piqued when he noticed that both titles had effects that were more vague than usual, eventually prompting him to interpret 'Greater potential' as something that would be beneficial to him in the long term.

On the other hand, the 'Greater challenges' effect on [True Defier of Fate] caused the young

man to frown.

"I have a feeling I already know what greater challenges I'll be facing." Taking in a deep breath to compose himself, Valyr went ahead and brought up the description of his species, immediately confirming his suspicions once he read through it.

Ding!

[Reforged High Human True Defier of Fate (3rd Unsealing)] (Species)

Most of the description has been omitted.

As a being classified by the system as a True Defier of Fate, you have been recognized to show

great strength and potential that subverts expectations. With enough time, you might find yourself standing at the pinnacle of power.

<Racial Skill: Defiance of a Thousand Aspirations - Most of the description has been omitted.

This skill converts 10% of the user's total base stats into Points of Aspiration, which can be allocated however the user chooses to do on their eight main stats.

Any stat points gained in the future shall also be converted into Points of Aspiration, but only under the condition that the user ascends to a higher class rank. Cooldown: 2 minutes.>

<Racial Passive 1...>

<Racial Passive 2...>

<Racial Passive 3...>

<Tribulation 1: The XP cost to upgrade one's level or one's skills have been multiplied by 10.>

<Tribulation 2: All enemies slain by the user that are at most 10 levels higher than the user or lower now only yield 1 XP.>

<Tribulation 3: All damage dealt to enemies beyond 10 levels higher than the user is

decreased by 10%.>

"Damn." Clicking his tongue the moment he was done reading, Valyr let out a long exhale as he thought about the updated tribulations would affect how he fought in the future. Though it was more annoying to have rather than it being something that actually hampered

his progress, Valyr still felt a bit of anger over the whole thing, considering how he hadn't really done anything to truly irk the system.

In the end, the young man went silent after that, going over the various thoughts in his mind

as he closed all of the screens he'd brought up.

Then, laying down on his bed, he took in a calming breath before beginning his ascension

process.

Ding!
