Alexia
The messages are a little different this time, but still have the same meaning as before.
For passing the fifth of the tests, your core will expand. Furthermore, you have gained Quantum Resistance to the quantum energy of the Quantum Balancer.With every test passed after this point, your core will continue to grow stronger, and you will learn how to fight with each of the Quantum Beings.
For your role must be the strongest.You must be the reaper of all. And yet, the savior of all as well.
It’s the same message, for the most part, but in a notification instead.
After looking at that message, I go ahead and deactivate my True Form before reentering it again while at the mausoleum. Just to see if there are any changes to the effects my True Form get.
You have now entered your half Completed True Form as a Quantum Reaper.
As the sole Quantum Reaper, you have one role to play.
The Reaper of Reality.
While in this form, you are given five special Racial Skills.
Additionally, as a Devourer with half of your core completed, you gain one additional Racial Skill in this form.
These five skills are as follows:
Soul Reaping:
With every swing of your scythe, you take a chunk of the target’s soul out and feed it to the universe itself. Therefore any damage dealt with the Reaper’s Scythe is unhealable, regardless of what type of damage it is, who is trying to heal it, or what the damage is being done to.
Only the Reaper herself may revert the damage with her own hands.
Note: Restrictions have been revealed since completion of your True Form. Restrictions including the inability of this skill’s effect being applied on other Quantum Beings without resistance towards their quantum energies.
Corruption Immunity:
As one of the Quantum Beings holding a role to the universe, you are fully immune to the corruption of the other side.
Living Singularity:
You are one of the sources of energy. A living singularity. All energy in the surroundings will be drawn to you, made to enter you, and feed your soul.
Special Quantum Resistance:
You are the Reaper of all. This includes the Quantum Beings. Therefore you are resistant to the special role-specific quantum energies of each of the ten other roles. However, as you are only half complete, this skill is limited to just a resistance towards the energies of the Role Trials you have completed.
Current Role resistances gathered: Quantum Architect, Quantum Scribe, Quantum Cleaner, Quantum Archon, Quantum Balancer
Quantum Resonance:
You resonate with the quantum energy around you, stabilizing reality itself and making it more difficult for other beings to alter reality around you.
Quantum Devouring:
As both the Quantum Reaper and a Devourer, you passively devour half of the quantum energy used against you, adding it temporarily to your own pool of energy.
Additionally, half of all special role-specific quantum energies of the other Quantum Beings, limited by the Role Trials completed by you, will be passively devoured as well.
Oh, so there are actual changes! Nice.
It looks like my Devourer species mixing with my Quantum Reaper species changed things upon reaching half completion of my core. Which I just realized I actually reached.
And the changes are very nice, since this makes fighting against other Quantum Beings significantly easier. Both ones with roles and ones without.
I smile a little at that thought before stretching a little and glancing at the number of uses I have left of Energy Restoration. Which isn’t many.
By the end of that battle, I used up about eight out of the twelve uses of the skill for the year.
So I don’t exactly feel confident going into the next trial right now.
With that in mind, I begin to leave the trial tower before heading over to the corruption. Since I still need to level up to bridge the gap between me and the other Quantum Beings. Much less me and the Corrupted One himself.
I wonder if I could get a skill that devours all energy used against me period when I fully complete my core?
That would be useful.

Somewhere in the Quantum Realm
Right as Zorblax finishes making all of the preparations necessary to deal with the Quantum Enforcer, a frightening chill runs down his spine. One he hasn’t felt in ages. Not since directly facing the Corrupted One.
It’s a chill so terrifying that it has him instantly panicking for a moment and hiding back in safety. But the chill vanishes almost as quickly as it came, making him wonder what just happened.
After several minutes of hiding away, Zorblax, the Quantum Balancer, once again emerges and begins to set his plans into motion.
His plans to completely destroy the Quantum Enforcer, also known by many as the Quantum Judge.
The man who has crossed Zorblax more than anyone else besides the Ruler himself.
But even as he puts his plan in motion, Zorblax can’t help but feel like something’s wrong. Like he’s missing something.
So he begins to check everything that’s happened and could happen as of late once more.
The Quantum Ruler, who he finds still crippled in the Universe’s Core Chamber.
The other Quantum Beings, who he finds off doing their own things, enjoying their freedom for a change.
And even that trial the Quantum Reaper child was undergoing. But when he sees the trial room on the screen empty now, he simply assumes she was killed in the trial.
Permanently.
Because there’s no other outcome when a former mortal brat challenges Zorblax.
He doesn’t bother to search further than the empty trial itself as he continues his search elsewhere. But no matter how hard he searches, nothing comes to mind. So despite the bad feeling in the back of his mind, Zorblax finally sets his plan into action. Releasing all of the orders he’s prepared and controlling billions of creatures all across the universe at once.
Let’s get this revenge underway.
