Chapter 474: Zenith
Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon
Thinking of the enemies that I would be facing in the upcoming future… no, they are already at my doorstep aiming for my head, taking all this into account the nation that I would have to abandon capable skills like Dungeon calamity transformation just because I was too chicken to face the consequences that came with bearing such gruesome raw power.
If I were to do that, I might as well hold a plate to my neck and serve it to my enemies. I had already made up my mind that if the path to a chill life begins with power, then I will not hesitate to make that power mine. Despite having decided that, I cannot help but hesitate after knowing what the consequences of using such power can be. The power was right in front of me, yet I was hesitant.
But this won\'t do. I had to choose right here right now. I suppose this depended on my meaning of a quiet life. A typical daily life where I pass away without others knowing that I exist or A life at the top so grand that nobody dares to aim for it, leaving me a quiet and lonely top. Either way, in the end, I would be living a lonely life. Now I just had to decide whether I would lead it as a pushover who gets swept by the current or someone who had the strength to make the current go around him. The latter sounded like a true quiet life undisturbed by anyone and anything. Even nature dare not disturb the quiet life up here because it\'s too high for it to climb.
The Wyatt family tried leaving the regular life, and look how they got swept away with the current. Considering mama Wyatt\'s origin, her status was not a simple one, but she gave up all that to live everyday life with her loved one. Look what it got her. The couple was murdered in an unknown place, and their only child was driven to suicide. I did not want to be that. Nobody wants to be that. The difference between me and a nobody is that I had the power that would allow me to achieve zenith right in front of me, and others didn\'t. The Wyatt family was an example enough that regular quiet life doesn\'t last long. This was more than enough for me to decide what to do with power in front of it.
All is fair for a chill life. With this motto, I decided to no longer hesitate to do the obvious, make the power mine, and the consequence that I dreaded will mine with it.
My understanding of the blood rule\'s meaning \'Fate Plunder,\' has grown to a profound understanding giving me insight into the power of the meaning. With what I truly understood about fate plunder right now, I could create a basic rune. Yes, just a basic rune. There were tiers to runes. These tiers are divided based on the portion of strength they displayed of their respective rule and meaning. The basic tier of rune was the lowest of the tier with the minor authority over its rule and meaning.
This meant that the ability of the meaning \'fate plunder\' I saw was only a part of what it actually can do. Just a part of the meaning holds this much power, so I could not help but imagine the power the higher tier of runes formed with this meaning would hold. Thinking of this, I was glad I decided to continue down this path.
With a firm will, I walked out of the Blood rule stream, left the spiritual plane, crossed the bridge returning to the calamity soul gem. I was finally going to forge my first rune. Before starting the forging process, I decided to brainstorm with the three of my slave conscious on what we know and understand about the fate plunder.
Forging a rune is a lot like writing a paper, mind you, not some amateur paper, but the one meant to be submitted to the world-renowned scientific publication. This is very serious. A single grammar error can destroy the idea you were trying to put forward, and you will become that guy who, despite all his degrees, did not know how to use a comma.
Similarly, while forging a rune, the most superficial flaw would undermine the rest of the rune and the authority of the rule and meaning it beholds. Therefore I had to gather my thoughts and understanding about the blood rule and its meaning, just like Anna and Lina suggested. This way, I made sure that I did not forget or skip over something crucial while in the process of forging a rune.
Going through all that I had mastered about blood rule and \'fate plunder\' I had constructed a mental image of how I would use the rune power and my wondering of it and its meaning to forge the rune. Not just the forging process, I had used Hive AI and built a 3D model of rune, the end product. I had my share of experience with broken runes and knew what an actual rune with a minimum number of flaws looked like. I used all of them as a basis when I prepared the 3D design for the new rune. This was just a simulation based on the data I and the hive AI had collected, so I could not guarantee that the rune I forged would be just like the one in the design, but it ensured that I kept the possible flaws in the actual process to the minimum.
Done with all the preparation, I used my Advanced master of blood rune to conjure blood rule power in my calamity soul gem. Invoking the required blood rule power was faster since I was in the blood rock cave, and here, blood rule power was available in abundance thanks to our Bloodette.
