MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1109: Anthony’s Throughts

While pondering his parents, Anthony's mind inevitably drifted to the Human Bloodline Grade. He harbored a fervent hope that his parents' Bloodline Grade could be elevated. Although Donna and the others hadn't experienced this benefit themselves, it didn't preclude the possibility for his ancestors. Alas, the matter was beyond his direct influence, residing outside his control. He let out a sigh and resumed his seat, having remained standing since his initial bow to ???, forgetting to sit thereafter.

'Speaking of Human Bloodlines,' Anthony mused, finding himself enveloped in the quiet solitude of his chamber, 'what of Aura Nova, Kingsley Sky, and Lucian Darkheart?' Those three absolutely needed to enhance their Bloodline ranks. Considering the impending ascension, what if the Upper Galaxy regarded higher Bloodlines as the absolute standard, potentially reducing those with inferior Bloodlines to mere servitude? Despite Lucian, Kingsley, and Aura Nova possessing considerable power, their abilities would be rendered impotent if they couldn't inflict damage. Their previous spar with Anthony served as stark evidence. Even currently, no matter their level of advancement, they would scarcely be able to scratch Vega, given her superior Bloodline Grade.

'Lucian Darkheart might have a chance to acquire a higher Bloodline on his own, given his penchant for exploring the Galaxy,' Anthony contemplated, 'but Aura Nova rarely ventures out; she's perpetually anchored to her Dusk Planet. How will she possibly discover a superior Bloodline at this rate? Even Kingsley seldom departs the Military Base.' His thoughts were already consumed by concern for his companions. Of course, he possessed the means to bestow these upgrades upon them, but Anthony was resolved to reserve that option only after exhausting all possibilities of them acquiring it independently.

As for Aaaninja Chronisynth Eternos, he was not human but a Celestial. Anthony was uncertain whether the Celestial race had any Bloodline rankings, but he harbored doubts. If they did, Aaaninja Chronisynth Eternos undoubtedly possessed a Bloodline designation surpassing that of any Celestial within the Acarnis Galaxy. 'It is decided then,' Anthony affirmed inwardly. 'I shall inform Lucian and Aura Nova about the intricacies of Human Bloodline grades the next time we convene. While they might already be privy to this information, I will relay it nonetheless. After all, I cannot simply assume, can I?'

His attention then turned to his subordinates. Those individuals had already procured superior Bloodline grades from their respective system shops, alongside acquiring a variety of affinities and abilities. They were, in fact, exploiting the system shop's functions far more enthusiastically than Anthony himself, the system's original proprietor. 'I will bring them along when I depart,' Anthony decided. 'I'll introduce them to Aura Nova and the others.' With an imminent galaxy-wide conflict on the horizon, every available asset would be crucial.

'Hmmm... given that we are all currently within this Galaxy,' Anthony mused, his fingers tracing his chin in deep contemplation, 'I wonder if we shall all ascend to the same Upper Galaxy together.'

This very thought conjured images of him and Vega being separated. Furthermore, Michael might part ways with Mitchelle, and Collins, who exhibited an almost stifling protectiveness over Irene, might also find himself separated from his wife. Irene, a healer though capable in combat, faced a daunting prospect in an Upper Galaxy. Anthony found himself uncertain if he was willing to risk such a possibility. However, this was all mere speculation at this juncture. Even if separation became a reality, the ultimate decision would rest with Collins and Irene. They retained the option to remain behind, forever bound in love and togetherness. After all, their affection had endured for over a millennium, and their love remained profoundly potent.

'System,' Anthony inquired, his curiosity piqued, 'regarding this matter of separation, how probable is it?'

[Ding]

[Probability is extremely high, Host.]

'Could you elaborate?' Anthony pressed.

[There is no elaboration required, Host. The sheer multitude of Galaxies existing beyond count dictates that all ascendants cannot possibly be confined to a singular Galaxy.] The system responded with an air of stating the obvious, implying Anthony was overcomplicating the situation.

'Is there any method by which two distinct individuals can remain together within the same Galaxy?' Anthony asked, a palpable desire to stay with Vega evident in his tone.

[Calculating...]

[Answer found.]

[Given that the Ascension process is inherently random, the Host can simply place the individuals he wishes to remain with into his Mirror Dimension, thus resolving the issue.]

A slight twitch played on Anthony's lips. If the solution were this straightforward, he had indeed been overthinking things. The system's suggestion presented a viable solution without significant obstacles. 'Perhaps I should craft the Mirror Dimension as a skill book and bestow it upon my parents and grandparents,' Anthony contemplated. 'That way, they can journey to the same Galaxy, each pair of devoted lovers finding their own shared cosmic destination.''I'll ask Vega if she wishes to journey to the same Galaxy as me,' Anthony mused internally. Even if Vega desired a different Galaxy, perhaps for the sheer thrill of exploration, Anthony possessed the capability to teleport to her location at any time. His parents were also within reach should he ever feel a pang of homesickness. Though traversing the vastness of space between Galaxies was beyond his ordinary abilities, the Authority Of Severance offered a straightforward and effective solution by collapsing the distance. 'I wonder if Aura Nova, Lucian Darkheart, Kingsley Sky, Aaaninja Chronisynth Eternos, and I will ever cross paths again,' he pondered, a subtle smile gracing his lips as he sat in quiet contemplation. 'I will certainly miss them,' he thought, 'even though each of us possesses unique methods for reuniting across the Galaxies.' Lucian Darkheart relied on his Reality Anchor. Aura Nova had already replicated the spatial rift utilized by the Angels to infiltrate the Acarnis Galaxy. Aaaninja Chronisynth Eternos, on the other hand, could traverse the River Of Time at will; furthermore, with his newfound capabilities, who could predict what astounding feats he might accomplish now. 'I recall him activating the Concept Of Time during our battle, though it appeared to be an incomplete manifestation,' Anthony recollected. In Anthony's estimation, Aaaninja Chronisynth Eternos stood as the most gifted individual he had ever encountered. Each encounter left him more astonishingly potent than the last, as if growth itself yielded to his presence. The fact that Aaaninja had achieved mastery over the Concept Of Time through his own comprehension, even if only partially, underscored the monstrous nature of his talent. A smile touched his lips. Aura Nova, on the cusp of emerging from her training as an entirely different entity, might stand a chance against Aaaninja. As for Lucian, Anthony found himself at a loss for words to describe him; he represented the greatest enigma to Anthony, and his victory over Aaaninja had genuinely surprised him. 'Lucian Darkheart might just unveil the most significant astonishment when he completes his own training,' Anthony concluded in his thoughts. And with Lucian's system working tirelessly to decipher an enigma only it could comprehend, the true extent of his impending power-up remained beyond anyone's grasp. _____
