Chapter 303: Adaptation Authority, Train Conductor Principle, Zenith Train Level 78!
[The Adaptation Authority was derived from Adaptive Evolution, which was your innate ability and blood trait as an Ancient Human.]
[You’ve realized that aside from your Multiplication Principle and Luck Principle, you didn’t possess any Authority or Principle that directly improved your survivability and physical body.]
[Whether it was the Order Principle, Boundary Principle, or Wish Principle, they were all rule-based abilities that needed activation. Even the Multiplication Principle needed to be activated before you could multiply your body’s stats.]
[It was only the Luck Principle that truly improved your survivability passively. Because of this, between the Evolution Authority and the Adaptation Authority, you chose Adaptation.]
[This decision wasn’t just yours to make. After all, taking an Authority meant that you’d be blocking the path of others who were also suited for it.]
[Among your train crewmates, you, Jade, Magnus, and Cecilia were all Ancient Humans. In other words, the four of you possessed the Adaptive Evolution innate ability and could comprehend the Adaptation Authority and Evolution Authority at any time.]
[For this reason, you consulted them to see if any of them planned to take this path.]
[Magnus and Cecilia weren’t really interested in combat, and even for research purposes, Evolution and Adaptation leaned more towards biology, which they didn’t specialize in.]
[After all, Magnus took the Science Path, while Cecilia chose the Machine Path.]
[Even if the Evolution Authority could be used to improve the machine life she created, it wasn’t truly important since X-rank Machine God Genesis and the Machine Principle could already achieve what she needed.]
[Since Magnus and Cecilia weren’t interested in it, you consulted Jade, and she decided to comprehend the Evolution Authority when she has enough time, while the Adaptation Authority would be yours to take.]
[You preferred the Adaptation Authority more since it’s directly suited for survivability and combat. As for the Evolution Authority, while it could be used for individual purposes, it still leaned more towards the evolution of an entire race or species.]
[The successful comprehension of the Adaptation Authority had allowed you to further increase your survivability and physical prowess.]
[In fact, you confirmed with Hint Prompt that if it sublimated to a Principle, you would be able to break the shackles of your body’s power limit.]
[In other words, with the Adaptation Principle, as long as you let your body adapt to powerful attacks that exceeded your limit, it wouldn’t be impossible for you to possess Physique, Strength, and Agility stat attributes that went beyond what your power rank could allow.]
[’However, even this method isn’t without its limits. After all, as a Principle, the Adaptation Principle would only be effective for Starlight rank powerhouses.’]
[’At most, from my estimation, a 50.001% Adaptation Principle would only allow me to possess the physical body of a False Celestial rank powerhouse.’]
[’But even so, it’s merely the upper limit. To reach physical stat attributes of a False Celestial rank powerhouse despite being only at Peak Starlight rank, that would require me to truly push my limits and adapt to extreme conditions until I break my limits.’]
[With this thought in mind, you’ve decided to add the Adaptation Authority to one of your priorities in universal law comprehension.]
[You’ve already confirmed that there existed a Mid Starlight rank Star Devouring Monster who had attained Starlight rank with the Adaptation Principle.]
[Despite only being at Mid Starlight rank, that Star Devouring Monster was feared even by Peak Starlight rank powerhouses due to its fearsome Adaptation Principle.]
[If the Star Devouring Monster wasn’t killed in one shot, it could adapt to any attacks and gain resistance to them, until it possessed immunity to them.]
[The Star Devouring Monster had run rampant in the galaxy, yet no one dared to attack it.]
[After all, the Star Devouring Monster had already lived for a million years.]
[Throughout those years, the Star Devouring Monster had already adapted to countless Principles, Authorities, and other life-threatening attacks without being killed.]
[Those Peak Starlight rank powerhouses with a mere low-grade Principle like the Vampire Progenitor weren’t qualified to kill it.]
[Peak Starlight rank powerhouses like him might be able to defeat the Star Devouring Monster, but eliminating it was out of the question.]
[In fact, if the battle dragged on, the Adaptation Principle of the Star Devouring Monster could allow it to adapt and gain a temporary power rank equivalent to its strongest attacker.]
[Although that kind of power was temporary, it was also for this reason that the Star Devouring Monster was unkillable.]
[Only the concentrated attack of high-grade Principles like your Order Principle and Boundary Principle, which the Star Devouring Monster hasn’t adapted to, could kill it.]
[Even Morvane’s Death Principle might not work. After all, while the Death Principle was a high-grade Principle, it wasn’t one of those high-grade Principles that haven’t been comprehended and sublimated by others to the point of a Principle.]
[You and the others had recently slain a Wild God possessing the Death Principle, to which you’ve given to Morvane to assist him in comprehending his Death Principle.]
[Knowing of the Star Devouring Monster’s existence, you’ve already planned to kill it later to plunder its Adaptation Principle.]
[Of course, since it was a Mid Starlight rank monster, it likely possessed an Adaptation Authority with more than 35.001%+ law fragment ownership.]
[To deal with that, you and Jade already decided to let her sacrifice her usage of her Equality Authority and Exchange Authority just to temporarily deprive the Star Devouring Monster’s usage of its Adaptation Principle.]
[Aside from your progress in your Authorities and Principles, you also didn’t neglect your progress as a Train Conductor.]
[The Zenith Train was upgraded by you from Level 76 to Level 78. To upgrade it further, you needed to possess the power rank of Peak Starlight rank.]
[Aside from upgrading the train and its train modules and carriage modifications, you’ve also killed and schemed against countless Aether rank Train Conductors, finally sublimating your Train Conductor Authority to a Train Conductor Principle!]
[You’ve achieved it earlier than the World Will’s estimation.]
[To achieve this early, it was all thanks to your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) and Jade’s X-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent.]
