Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1460: A point

Before teaching his friends how to use the Void, Rain decided to do some tests with Loar and Hardt. He needed their skills to make the others stronger as well, and he was planning to make them reach their abilities to the others, so that was a good chance to hit two birds with one stone.

They all knew the basics of space magic as well, but they couldn’t use it while they were in Rain’s pocket dimension because they needed to overpower his spell. Besides, trying that would just make him waste mana.

"Trying to make us your test subjects?" Hardt asked.

"That is right," Rain said. "Now, get a move on."

"I can’t even bring myself to be angry when you are this honest..." Hardt furrowed his eyebrows. "Anyway, it might sound convenient to say this, but you might as well let us fight more when we have access to these skills."

"When you prove yourself to survive the attacks of the enemies that I face, I will do that," Rain said. "In the meantime, I will do what I deem to be the best option."

Hardt fell silent, his thoughts churning as Rain’s words struck a chord within him. It was an uncomfortable truth, one that he couldn’t deny. Rain’s reliance on the lords of the prison had indeed been minimal, their utility limited to dealing with lesser threats while Rain himself faced off against foes of far greater danger.

In truth, Rain’s battles rarely involved skirmishes with minor adversaries. He was a warrior who thrived on facing opponents of unparalleled strength and skill, constantly seeking out challenges that would push him to his limits and force him to grow stronger with each passing encounter.

And while the lords of the prison undoubtedly possessed formidable power in their own right, their abilities were better suited to dealing with smaller threats rather than the titanic forces that Rain often found himself pitted against. In those moments of true peril, Rain had little choice but to rely on his own strength and skill, drawing upon the full extent of his abilities to overcome the challenges that lay before him.

"I will teach you guys the basics of the void aspect, but since you have high wisdom and Intelligence, you should be able to learn it faster," Rain said. "Use your skills to make that happen faster and all study what can if be done to make others learn the same process faster."

"Aren’t you doing the same thing already?" Loar asked.

"I am, but in a different way," Rain explained. "My perspective is different since I face the machine gods and endured their attacks. Your perspective s the same as the others who didn’t obtain the path yet and didn’t face those attacks."

That logic seemed a bit flawed, but Loar decided not to pursue that further... Soon enough, he realized what Rain was talking about. Even with Rain’s instructions, neither of them was making any progress using the power of the aspect void. Even harnessing the energy was difficult for them.

While watching that for a short while, Rain decided to change his perspective a bit and then created a magic weapon that let them use Pyscometry. He made it carefully to show its true might at the Level that even himself could use the skill.

Level 10: Psychometry (150) - Gain insights into the history of objects or people by touching them. Higher levels grants you more information about the target and make you obtain the information that you want faster.

After that, Rain decided to make copies of the books that had the knowledge of Hilo. He only wrote down a summary of that, but he also added his own experience with the skills. After that, he made those two try to use the relic, that was just a pair of glasses, while reading the books... he wasted a couple of hours writing them down, but eventually, they obtained the knowledge.

Loar eventually raised his hands and then began to converge the void in a dark sphere above him, and after not so long, Hardt did the same.

"How did you do this?" Elisabetha asked. "Even though you had access to the memories of the machine gods, it shouldn’t be this simple."

"Actually, I was planning to make the process instantaneous and make the book disappear at the same time, like a skill book in a game," Rain said. "Still, this isn’t that bad."

Elisabetha’s mind was filled with disbelief as Rain’s idea sank in. The notion of turning game concepts into reality seemed utterly insane to her at first glance. After all, in her experience, the boundaries between the virtual world of games and the tangible reality of their existence had always been distinct and immutable.

However, as she reflected on the vast repository of knowledge stored within the machine gods’ database, Elisabetha’s skepticism began to waver. The machine gods possessed a deep understanding of the underlying principles that governed the fabric of reality itself. They had the ability to manipulate the very aspects of existence—time, space, matter, and energy—in ways that defied conventional understanding.

In light of this knowledge, the idea of bringing game concepts to life suddenly seemed far more plausible. If the machine gods could harness the power of the aspects to reshape reality itself, then perhaps the boundaries between the virtual and the real were not as insurmountable as she had once believed.

As Elisabetha thought with this revelation, a sense of wonder and possibility began to blossom within her. The prospect of exploring new realms of creativity and imagination, unfettered by the constraints of conventional reality, filled her with excitement and anticipation.

"I have no idea why you are so surprised since the paths system is a game concept as well," Rain said.

"... You have a point," Elisabetha said as she considered some things, but she decided to stay quiet about that.

Unfortunately for Elisabetha, Rain could tell what she was thinking...
