Alexia
I open my mouth to respond to his shout after a brief period of surprise, only to be startled further when I’m suddenly teleported away from his throne room and back in front of the Ruler’s mausoleum with a notification in my vision.
For passing the tenth and final trial, please make your way to the Grand Mausoleum to fully complete your core.
Once this is done, your full power as a Quantum Reaper shall awaken.
I narrow my eyes at the notification for a moment. Then I eventually just shake my head and turn in the direction of a building that is currently rising out of the ground at the center of all the mausoleums. One that is significantly larger than all of the others, and is made out of a black stone with deep purple lines along the edges of the structure.
Certainly looks grand.
I walk over to it before going inside and finding a grand hallway with the same stone making up the inside as makes up the outside. With the hallway containing pictures of each Quantum Being on its walls.
And not just the ones with roles either. The pictures depict dozens upon dozens of Quantum Beings, including the ones without roles and even the Successors.
Although the Successors aren’t really Successors anymore. Not after the Universe’s Will shattered.
What’s interesting to me is that the Quantum Beings without roles on this list don’t actually look like the ones with roles. No doubt because they aren’t half clones like the ones with roles, minus Zal.
Sure, they still have the usual traits of the species. Purple hair and glitchy eyes. But that’s all they have. And even those traits are less pronounced. To the point that I can see normal eye colors behind the glitchyness in their eyes.
The hallway itself is designed with the regular Quantum Beings without roles being first, followed by the ones with roles in the order of their hierarchy. Albeit with their Successors’ portraits hanging beneath them in a slightly smaller size.
I continue through the hallway until I finally find a rather large and grand set of double doors.
The doors themselves are glitching ever so slightly, with deep purple gems embedded in their frames. They are made out of a deep purple, almost black metal, and I can tell just off instinct alone that they lead somewhere else that isn’t in this tower. With some sort of spatial distortion at work.
I walk right up to the doors before pushing them open, making reality around me glitch apart before reforming again. Revealing a large temple summit. Almost like the top of a pyramid. Just that the pyramid is made out of black metal with glowing veins of purple energy running through it. All directed towards the summit of the pyramid, where a sphere of energy is located at the center of said summit.
The sphere draws me in with just a glance, making me walk over to it almost as if in a trance. And the closer I get to it, the stronger its pull becomes. To the point that I feel a pulsing in my chest that coincides with a pulse from the orb. One that send energy all throughout the veins in this grand pyramid.
When I place my hand on the core, a powerful surge rushes out of the core and the entire pyramid. Making my hair fly wildly behind me.
But I ignore all of that as my eyes remain locked on the core, and the core itself begins to melt into pure energy before absorbing itself into my hand. I then feel the energy of the core moving around inside of me until it eventually settles in my chest. Near my heart.
And the moment it settles, I feel a rush of energy flooding my entire body. Not just my body either, as the energy quickly rushes out through my pores and into the world around me.
The pyramid begins to tremble before crumbling, and the reality around me warps until I find myself standing alone in the Quantum Realm.
No trial tower.
No pyramid.
No none of that.
Despite me recognizing this area as the area where the trial tower was previously.
It completely vanished?
My thoughts are halted again upon receiving another notification.
Congratulations for completing all of your trials!
Rejoice!
For your core is now complete, making you a fully accomplished Quantum Reaper!
As a result, the following Racial Skills have been permanently granted:
Quantum Resistance:
You are the Reaper of all. This includes the Quantum Beings. Therefore you are resistant to all types of quantum energy. Including both regular quantum energy, and the special quantum energies belonging to each of the Quantum Beings.
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, six-tenths of all special role-specific quantum energies of the other Quantum Beings will be passively devoured as well.
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.
The Final Reaping:
As the Quantum Reaper, you obtain the right to reap the energy of all those weaker than the user who are deemed enemies of the Reaper within range of the Reaper’s own senses. This energy will immediately be used to restore the Reaper’s body and refill their energy.
I can’t help but grin at the sight of the new skill.
The other three racial skills aren’t really new. They’re upgraded, but they’re ones I’ve seen before. Racial Skills that were given to me only when I’m in my True Form.
This new one, however…
The Final Reaping.
This skill will be incredibly useful. Especially considering the enormous number of corrupted creatures the Corrupted One controls.
I clench my fist in excitement before shaking my head and looking around. Only to find the other Quantum Beings all beginning to appear one after another.
Okay, what’s going on now?
