Child of Destiny

System: You have harnessed the Power of Primordial Eclipse perfectly!

System: You have mastered the Power of Primordial Eclipse: Origin!

Shin raised his brows as little as he heard those notifications, but he also could not help himself from raising the corner of his mouth. He could not hide his smile as he seemed to have now another clue on how he would advance in the real world.

At that moment, the attacks were about to land at him. But before they could even reach a meter away from him, they suddenly stopped midair before they crumbled and turned into dust.

He did not even bother to look at them as he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the current state that he was in – the new Natural State that he just achieved, which was the product of combining the previous one and the two special states that he had learned from Professor Plum.

ʼNatural State: Perfect Zenithʼ

This was what Professor Plum wanted to achieve, but it was also a little different since it was for his Mentalism and personal swordsmanship.

He thought that Unoʼs Natural State, the one that he called ʼTrue Equinoxʼ might be the one that was closer to what Professor Plum wanted. Although, it was supposed to be called the ʼTrue Zenithʼ.

Shin felt that Uno and himself seemed to have divided the ideal state that Professor Plum wanted to achieve as they created their own.

”I at least now can share it with the Old Geezer and let him complete his research and achieve his dreams. He also has said that he needs it for some other project, but he never has told me about it.”

After that, Shin opened his eyes. He then sheathed the [Yamato] before looking at his hand and the black and white aura that was covering his body.

He stayed like that for a couple of minutes before asking Uno. ”Have you also completed the unification of Sacred Qi and Demonic Qi?”

There was a silence for a while before Uno finally answered, albeit indirectly. [Letʼs talk again when you form your Natural Force.]

Shin raised his brows even further as he had gotten an idea of what was going on. Uno might have not achieved it yet, but he was very close to it.

”Alright,” he nodded his head he turned his head toward the direction where Leonard and Diablo joined hands when fighting the Grand Centipedeus.

From what he could see, the two seemed to have been making progress with their respective powers.

But when he was focusing on the two, Shin seemed to have noticed something strange going on with Leonard. It might be his imagination at first, but the closer he looked, the clearer that feeling had become.

He then was suddenly reminded of the time when he first fought Arthur right after the latter finished his bloodline awakening.

”Donʼt tell me.”
