Chapter 430: Origin Treasure! The Space-Time Cube?!
...
Hestia was furious.
They had agreed to meet at the "Hostess of Fertility" today for a party, but Seito and Nyaruko hadn't shown up.
"Uh..."
Nyaruko scratched her head, her ahoge twitching: "Ahahaha, I got a little too absorbed watching Kamen Rider."
"Grandma always said, I... cough cough."
Seito coughed twice and said with a completely straight face: "I was... uh... monitoring Nyaruko!"
Hestia's cheek twitched.
Monitoring Nyaruko?
Do you think I've never seen Kamen Rider? What were you actually going to say?
Feeling completely helpless, Hestia rubbed her temples: "You two better get over there now. You're the only ones missing."
"You guys go ahead. I'll be there in a bit," Seito said, shaking his head.
His Origin Artifact was almost ready, so he didn't want to leave just yet.
"Fine."
Seeing he was stubborn, Hestia didn't press the issue. Asking once was enough; there was no need to keep nagging. She took Nyaruko with her and they left.
Seito then pulled up his personal status panel.
[Level: Early Main God Realm]
[Divine Core: Space-Time Divine Core]
[Talent: Space-Time Mastery]
[Creation Energy Required for Upgrade: 872/1000]
[Skills: Speed Space-Time (Exclusive), Space-Time Movement (Exclusive), Space-Time Void Step (Exclusive), Space-Time Dragon's Roar (Exclusive), Space-Time Dragon's Breath (Exclusive), Dimensional Slash (Exclusive), Kamui Space (Exclusive), Space-Time Storm (Exclusive), Gale Protection (Exclusive), Space-Time Sense (Exclusive), Space-Time Lock (Exclusive), Mirror Space-Time (Exclusive), Time Stop (Exclusive), Time Rewind (Exclusive), Temporal Decay (Exclusive), Life Heal.]
[Weapon: Nurturing...]
During this time, he had gained quite a bit of Creation Energy. It wasn't a massive amount, but compared to other Main Gods, it was actually very fast! Gaining over 800 units of Creation Energy in just a week was way faster than the others.
"Collecting Creation Energy as a Main God really is fast," Seito thought to himself.
Compared to him, everyone else probably wasn't doing very well! He could collect Creation Energy this fast thanks to his Main God clones.
"Speaking of which, how much Creation Energy is actually in the Star Grail?"
Seito thought about the Star Grail. When he and Sora went to the Game Planet to play games against Tet, he had seen the Star Grail again. It also contained Creation Energy. Back then, they didn't know the exact number, but now Seito could fully absorb the energy to observe its total.
However, doing so might degrade the Star Grail's quality, so he decided against it.
Shaking off those thoughts, he looked back at his status panel.
Three minutes passed.
Buzz~!
Just as the nurture process finished, Seito felt his sea of consciousness begin to glow with purple and green light!
The light was blindingly bright—so much so that it completely drowned out the light of his Divine Core! This scene made Seito perk up.
[Congratulations! You have obtained "Origin Treasure - Space-Time Cube"!]
"It really is an Origin Treasure?!"
Seito was stunned. He originally thought he would just get an Origin Artifact. Nyaruko's advice had been just a rumor, after all. He never expected it to be real! This got Seito seriously excited.
"Space-Time Cube? Nice name."
Seito chuckled and pulled out his Origin Treasure!
Zip~!
The cube appeared, hovering in front of him. Even though it was still crystal-like, it was now covered in countless golden patterns. It constantly pulsed with purple and green light, looking absolutely hypnotic!
"It's beautiful."
A grin tugged at the corner of Seito's mouth as he checked the Cube's stats.
[Space-Time Cube (Origin Treasure)]
[Effect 1: Capable of suppressing and tearing apart space-time!]
[Effect 2: Offense and defense in one! Can be used to attack or defend!]
[Effect 3: Attack power is 10,000 times that of the owner's Divine Core power!]
[Effect 4: Can break into 27 separate cubes for individual attacks or combine into any shape!]
[Effect 5: Masks your energy, rank, and presence!]
"!!!"
Seito was shocked! This upgrade was a massive leap forward!
Starting with the first effect: it was clear that because of the energy from his Divine Core, the cube now held the power of both Time and Space.
The second effect was straightforward—his old Dimensional Cube had it too, but this was on a completely different level.
Seito didn't look back; he went straight to the third effect! This one was interesting. When mortals became gods, their stats integrated into their Divine Core. Seito's body had been bathed in divine energy so many times that his stats were already insanely high! So, this effect was a massive trump card!
"Very nice."
Seito couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the fourth effect.
"Space-Time Cube, disassemble! Reassemble!"
Seito willed it, and the cube instantly broke into twenty-seven small squares. Then, the squares swirled around and started combining into the shape of a long blade. Because it was made of cubes, it looked a bit like a toy, but...
Zip~!
A purple and green light flashed, wrapping around the entire structure.
The light faded, and a sharp, lethal-looking Chokuto appeared in front of Seito.
"This is exactly what I wanted!"
Seito was ecstatic. He didn't expect the fourth effect to be this broken. Now he didn't have to worry about his skills becoming useless!
Shing! Clang!
Seito swung the straight blade. The edge sliced through the air, letting out a sharp ringing sound. He was beyond satisfied.
