Temporal Pearls

This was the first place he met a human NPC after the Vulcan Village vanished. Also, it was the first place he saw a player.

Dave.

Seth frowned; from what he had gleaned and understood, somehow Redop Irik had manipulated Dave into believing Seth was the one behind the death of many players.

And it wasn't just mere normal manipulation but induced perception to the point that Dave hated Seth with passion.

The player can't even listen to understand Seth's version let alone have some meaningful conversations.

The thing was even Red Valley Chief was on that hate and even induced Blood Explosion as a way to kill him.

This showed how powerful the ability that vile Redop Irik used was.

"I'm his fucking son In-law!" He cursed under his breath.

Seth can only understand that Redop Irik wanted Dave to kill him. Unfortunately, it didn't work but Dave now has a team that carries the same notion.

Seth shook his head as he felt mild fear and wariness as he came closer to the mountain.

For the first time, he heard the Lantern Bell chime. He looked around but he didn't see a thing.

Just now they have passed atop a stronger formation.

Seth sighed and silently prayed that his assumption should not be true.

The fact he has caused three Gawee Beasts to become Menos means he might be a target of many other Gawee Beasts or any Menos or Medos that want a quick way to evolution.

This was his fear.

Not to mention he knew ME 25, and that Black Cat are still alive. They may ambush him again.

But that wasn't the most concerning.

The most dangerous part was if ME 25 evolved, he would enter the Transition State and what if he sought out Seth again in that form?

Seth doesn't want that to happen.

He needs some fast answers that will tell him what to do next.

Seth's body shivered, but not of something dangerous externally, but a new morphology took place in him.

In him were his sealed talents flowing amidst the blood and other bodily fluids.

When they passed through Heart Guru Gam, they seemed to have become less of what they are, more of part of the bodily fluid.

Somehow, their cluster made Rayna, among other things, but then there was Thearch Line that can interact with Rayna with ease, but they also can react with the traits themselves in a minute way.

Through that, Thearch Extremity One activated and his hair on his head now was influenced. His hair became a bit thicker and emitted subtle energy around him.

He didn't feel weight on his head but felt spirited, clear headed fresh out of a good nap.

Seth ran his hand through his hair and got so much information, some of which shocked him.

Strand of Aura, Strand of Red, Strand of Green Immunity, Strand of Intangibility Hold, Strand of Blood Aura, Strand of Blood Explosion, Strand of Illusory Shift, Strand of Menergy, Strand of Phynergy, Strand of Exertion Point…

These were the things Seth saw when he ran his hand on his hair. Of course, as they filled his hair follicle, he was feeling a bit weak. But what truly shocked him was…

Strand of First Might!

He gulped down as he observed this one strand. All he had to do was pluck it and it wouldn't dissipate at all.

He can harvest it, store it and it won't vanish.

He leaned back and said, "Myriad Ways!"

At that moment there was this balloon bubbling around him when a certain strand came.

Strand of Halo!

It was the only one that seemed to have taken effect on its own, and Seth felt he was back into his embrace of safety, and he laughed with contentment.

"Haha. Yes!"

All his Thearch pulses and even Extremity One seem to pulse with more power than before.

More strands of aura came out than the rest as that was what he had in abundance more than anything else's.

There were so many things Seth had to do to understand himself, but he went on the route that was very familiar to him, and that was he plucked a strand of Aura and held it in his hand.

It was black hair, but if one looked deep, you would see it had something inside. He squeezed it, and it bent like rubber, and he began to mould carefully until he made it flat to his palm size.

He then carefully moulded gloves for his thumbs and the rest of his fingers and wore them.

He extended his hand and grabbed the aura of his closest object, and immediately, he achieved the Aura Grab Skill.

He was grabbing the aura of his Soothing Gourd.

He then squeezed and tried to pluck it but the aura finger glove weakened and dissipated.

Seth smiled and closed his eyes; his ability was back.

Though controlled and he doesn't have them always ready in an unlimited manner but he also has things he didn't have before.

Those were the other strands he never expected to have, like Halo and First Might and even other Mights.

Gawee Magister Title, Pioneer Title and also Aura Activator Title pulse as his eyes almost glowed; ideas bulldozed into his mind about the endless possibilities he could attain with this magnificent achievement.

"Haha. Those dragons sealed me but they have no idea that they are unleashing something far more terrifying."

"Myriad Of Ways is here!"

So what if he doesn't have the unlimited aura to fuel his staff and attire and other abilities?

So what if he can't always pulse with First Might any time he is in danger?

So what if he can't pulse with Existence Might and spam it endlessly?

So what if the majority of his abilities are just reduced to limited strands he has to harvest and economically utilize?

"It doesn't matter. With these, I can play with my biggest arsenal. With this, I can fully control Arf; I can also utilise the Terror Strike Aura as well as Six Strike Aura. I can craft things that will take me to a higher level than I ever can!"

Seth was truly content with a smile, his sorrow was gone, replaced with expectations when his body and everything around him vanished.

"That is a very fast shift in mental stability!" An aged voice said to him.
