Odyssey of the Blind God-Chapter 563 Compatibility
Nial made sure that his father moved to the Orion shelter since it was the most secure there. The defensive mechanism were beyond the comprehension level of the origin humans and there was also Erio, the guardian of the Orion shelter.
Other than his father, Nial didn't really bother telling anyone that they had to move to the Orion shelter since he offered them a choice to move in if they wanted. He was not going to force anyone and he would accept their decision regardless. It was not really difficult moving from one place to another, either way.
Teleporting to the Forest of Life and back was pretty simple since it cost only a few Origin crystals to empower the teleportation circles.
There was no need to force anyone to come over for the time being, especially since Nial had nobody else in the Halheim shelter whom he wanted to have in the Orion shelter as much as his father.
Of course, there were also some issues with the relocation of the Orion Artisan Guild and Onyx Association's headquarters. The strongest Adventurers of the Onyx Association and the most talented Artisans of the Guild moved to the Orion Shelter since they were nurtured the best where the headquarters were located.
In fact, the Orion Artisan Guild was more like an Institute for Runiciers, Blacksmiths and Alchemists, where they learned a lot more than expected. As long as they followed the Orion Aritsan Guild's teachings, it was only a matter of determination and effort until one would become a Master Artisan.
The Soul Contract the Artisans signed in exchange for the teaching they received was pretty simple, demanding the contractee to repay their debt once they reached a certain rank. They had to work while being taught and the products they created would be sold. The Artisans would receive a small profit share to be able to pay for their living expenses and become stronger but that would already be it.
In the end, it was Nial who made the biggest profit from using the Elves and Dracos as Instructors. Their payscale varied a lot, but most of them wanted to get their hands on more information related to Nial's Runicier knowledge. He understood their interest and gladly taught the Instructors in exchange for their help.
It was not too much to ask for such a payment instead of Origin crystals or other goods. In fact, it was something that Nial would rather pay than Origin crystals or something else. He didn't think that most of his knowledge was that valuable or worth keeping a secret, either way. At the end of the day, it was more of a matter of who used the knowledge in the right way rather than anything else!
With the gains Nial made from selling runic armaments, potions, and cultivation pills, he ended up investing most of it. There was no need to set aside too many Origin crystals, let alone other goods since he could procure everything he may need in the future when it was necessary.
Controlling thousands of monsters with the use of Dominion was not difficult. They could conquer dozens of dungeons every single day, creating terrific gains that belonged only to him while he was doing nothing special.
Funnily enough, he didn't even need anything right now. The 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia had been completed and he was not in possession of another body refinement technique. Thus, he didn't even need to procure any nutrition solutions right now. His use for Origin crystals could also be considered non-existent since he could expand his domain of darkness before exerting the Vortex of Abyss Cultivation technique to accelerate his cultivation progress.
Right now it was a waste to use hundreds of thousands of Origin crystals in order to accelerate his cultivation progress since the end result provided negligible gains. He rather invested everything into his people and the creation of better Runic Armaments. Nial was also trying to alter the inscription process of the Forgotten runic constellations in order to see if it was possible to replace the dark energy with mana, crimson moonlight, or even the Power of Chaos.
Nial knew that he could merge his powers into the dark energy to strengthen the power of forgotten runic constellations but there were so many things that he had yet to test and learn.
He was going through a trial and error period in which he was trying things with the knowledge of the Late God of Darkness. By now, Nial considered the memories of the Late God of Darkness as a part of himself. There was no need for him to think differently since Damian was dead, either way.
He could tell that Damian had suffered a lot, which Nial took as a sign to not repeat the same mistakes as his 'ancestor'. Ancestor was how Nial thought of addressing Damian every now and then since the Late God of Darkness was the person who made many things possible for him.
It was also Damian, who had told him more about his past, specifically the time he lost his eyes, and how his race had been annihilated. The Late God of Darkness reaffirmed that he was not an origin human even though he looked human and he was in possession of five ability spots just like other humans. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
His only advantage compared to others was that he was overly compatible with everything related to Divine energy.
When Nial had merely been at the Mirae rank, he had already been able to store Cursed Divine energy inside his body and that was not even it. Despite being known as a True Destroyer, Nial had gotten his hands on the Symbol of Life, the Fairies' Blessing, and the Sacred Tree had accepted him as well!
There were too many things Nial didn't know about his own identity that he would have to start from scratch when it came to figuring out the truth to his background and entire being.
He simply called Damian his Ancestor since he learned a lot from the Late God of Darkness. Nial was also granted the powers that were supposed to be limited to the God of Darkness, or precisely to Damian. Neither he nor anyone else knew a being with the control of dark energy.
Even the Devils created by Nial and Damian did not have complete control of the dark energy in their body. Their body created dark energy through mana but they were innately different compared to Nial and Damian. There were big differences that would become clearer the further they walked down the path as an Original.
Nial knew that very well since he got to know a lot from the experience he was granted by devilizing the Phoenix Fire Lion, Erio. He learned a lot and wanted to make use of those experiences to further improve his learning.
That was why he thought about Devilizing a few more beings. However, rather than devilizing random beings, Nial ended up halting in his tracks.
The Devilization was something extremely personal since the Devils were granted bits of Nial's Power and a close connection to him. It was not something he should offer just any beast, let alone for a simple reason such as experimenting a little bit.
Nial figured that there were better ways to experiment and that there were other things he could test out, to begin with.
In fact, there were too many things he had to figure out and too much to get to know.
He didn't really know where to start with if he were to be honest with himself.
The past, the present, or the future?
