Chapter 306: My Three Wishes... (2)

[The Creators applaud your achievement... You are closer to freedom!]

[Your bloodline has mutated.]

[Bloodline: Otherness Unus (Saint) - Your destined bloodline has mutated due to the assimilation of Origin’s Essence, ****, ****, ****.

Due to this, the endpoint of your bloodline can no longer be determined.

Currently, the Lesser Variant of this bloodline is formed from the combination of your previous races, the embodiment of Dreams, Elsewhere, along with the previously mentioned essences.

Unlike any Unus to be and not to be, the Otherness Unus is built upon endless becoming through Otherness, Ownership, and Peace.

Racial Traits:

Born of Elsewhere - You are the first Unus not born from Pantheos.

Your presence, identity, and very essence emerge from Elsewhere before manifesting in Pantheos.

What others perceive is only the surface of you, while your true origin remains firmly rooted in Elsewhere.

At the Saint Rank, your traits compel reality itself to adjust within the reach of your Divine Sense.

For example, at the Divine Rank, this trait would have allowed you to toggle the aura of wrongness others feel around you.

Because you were born outside of Existence, your presence causes all scans to return as errors.

Now, although scans still fail, reality influences those around you to treat you as if nothing is amiss.

Elsewhere Beauty – Your beauty exists in a realm of indescribable imperfection, growing infinitely with every moment you endure.

At the Saint Rank, this beauty becomes an undeniable truth within your Divine Sense’s reach.

Wills falter more easily, and looking away offers little respite.

Core of Otherness – As the Otherness Unus, your once imperfect core has transformed, and your divinity is now beyond measure.

At the Saint Rank, you can expand or contract your Divine Sense at will—stretching it as far as the Lower Realms or shrinking it to the size of a world, but never smaller.

Elsewhere Body – Your body permanently resides in Elsewhere unless you choose otherwise, with the version in Existence being only a surface projection.

At the Saint Rank, attacks and seals begin to account for a body not fully present in reality.

Powers requiring a complete target misfire more often, even without your intervention, as reality behaves as though half of you does not exist here.

Touch of Elsewhere – Anything you touch can be removed from the surface until you decide to return it.

At the Saint Rank, things taken "off-surface" no longer affect their surroundings, and reality continues unaffected, as if nothing occurred.

Distinctions of Elsewhere – The distinctions you carry must now be born from Elsewhere.]

[The Broken Infinity - A necklace symbolizing your departure from the source of infinity; it is an artifact that cannot be removed, sealed, or destroyed, and any attempt to do so will end in complete failure.

Abilities

Divergent Horizon - You can choose a target and reveal a path that does not naturally belong to the structure of Pantheos.

Rather than enhancing something along its existing route, you uncover a completely separate possibility that had never been considered, developed, or reached.

Because divergence does not follow progression, the newly revealed path may possess no relationship whatsoever to the previous one.

Severance of Certainty - You can sever exclusivity from your targets.

Most powers depend on some variation of: this is the answer, this is the truth, this is the outcome.

You don’t erase these things; instead, you are shown another valid answer.

The original still holds—it just stops being the only truth.

Untrodden Self - You constantly drift away from fixed conclusions, slipping beyond the reach of those who try to predict, define, counter, or fully understand you.

Every attempt eventually becomes obsolete, not because you change with intention, but because the Broken Infinity naturally spins out new directions of Existence around you.

What was once an answer about you becomes yesterday’s truth, every conclusion incomplete, every profile outdated, as the currents of reality move on without pause.

Elsewhere Stars - You can designate people, places, ideals, memories, and relationships as "Stars" (Disciples, his women, Pantheon, and Land of Elsewhere).

Once recognized, these things gain the safeguard of open-ended possibility.

The artifact fiercely resists any conclusions about what it protects. This doesn’t promise happiness, nor does it shield from suffering.

Instead, it constantly forges paths that keep continuation alive.

The First Possession - You can draw a clear line between what’s yours and what’s not yours.

Anything truly recognized as "yours" takes on a special status. It stops existing solely in outside systems and becomes rooted in Elsewhere.

And since that Elsewhere belongs only to you, no outside force can completely control its fate.

"What... in the fuck?" Akasha muttered under his breath, staring at the sudden changes in his status.

For the first time in a long while, he was genuinely caught off guard.

Moments later, though, a small smile crept onto his face—just as he had hoped, he had become something beyond anything he could have imagined before.

Still, there was no need to ask what came next or what exactly this transformation made him into, because any answer now would feel incomplete.

"Hmm, it seems this is pushing me further and further away from Pantheos," he mused.

While Akasha had envisioned himself to be free and unbound from anything other than himself, it seemed like Pantheos... allowed such a thing to happen.

"Or maybe... it’s because I’m actually the Main Character," he muttered, reflecting on his talk with his mother.

There were so many things he wanted to learn more about, yet he wasn’t in a rush for answers, confident they would come to him naturally as he grew.

Even though he was being nudged away from the verse, he didn’t feel particularly dissatisfied, knowing that its peak was somewhere he absolutely wanted to reach.

Despite now possessing capabilities far beyond the norm, he had no intention of creating an entirely new power system for himself.

Instead, he planned to use his authority differently.

He closed the screens and gazed into the distance. His eyes had transformed into gray leaves while he was still reading, turning slowly in their sockets.

Sage was not far off, the black infinity on her back rising with her sleep, one tufted ear slack, the other still faintly aimed at where he had burst apart.

In that moment, he took one step, and the space between them seemed to vanish.

He appeared beside her, kneeling in air without a floor, and slid his hands beneath her ribs, lifting her against his chest.

Her paws tucked in out of habit. He traced his thumb through the fur between her ears, down the mark along her back, and she let out a small sound that never formed into a word.

He set her on his head the way she preferred it, paws finding his white-and-gray hair, her weight settling behind his brow.

"Now... time for the last step," He said with a smile.
