My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 816 Nullification

Shards from the broken land floated quietly in the emptiness surrounding me. I hovered there a bit longer, holding the dark sword firmly, until a set of familiar alerts popped up in my vision.

[Unique Quest Detected]

[Unique Quest: Unclaimed Throne]

[Sequence: Brother]

[Objective: Reach the Point of Designation.]

[Status: Complete]

[Reward: Fragment of the Sword Prarambh]

I scanned the last message once more.

Fragment of the Sword Prarambh.

"Prarambh," I murmured softly, tasting the word as it left my lips.

The blade responded without delay.

The silver streak down the middle of the ebony weapon burst into brilliant light. The radiance was piercing and fierce, expanding from the heart of the sword. Simultaneously, the black metal's surface grew even darker, resembling ink freshly spilled over it.

A fierce tug yanked at my wrist.

Agony raced up my hand as an unseen edge sliced into my flesh from inside my hold. Crimson liquid bubbled up right away, trickling from my digits and falling onto the weapon. As soon as the initial droplet met the silver streak, the sword blazed once again.

Vital energy swirled around it in twisting patterns.

My blood didn't just cover the exterior. It shifted. The scarlet fluid traveled along the silver path, pulled inside, coursing over the blade before sinking straight into that luminous core. The silver light started to change.

It became red.

The full length down the blade intensified from silver to a striking scarlet, throbbing once as the final bit of my blood disappeared within.

Suddenly, the emptiness ahead tore apart.

A round gateway materialized. I knew it at once. It matched exactly the transport gate summoned by the system token Steve and I had used to arrive here.

My gaze sharpened.

The energy encircling it was impossible to mistake.

System.

For just an instant, I pondered its timing in stepping in, yet I didn't pause. If this marked the quest's following phase, freezing in place would yield nothing.

I advanced and crossed through. The gateway sealed shut behind me silently.

In the blink of an eye, I was on firm footing.

Or so it seemed.

I instinctively spread my senses outward, but the feedback baffled me. Everywhere my detection reached, only terrain existed. Vast, fissured, ashen expanse stretching endlessly outward. Overhead, the heavens mirrored the same bland gray, devoid of sun, stars, or clouds.

No structures rose anywhere.

No peaks jutted up.

No foliage sprouted.

No stones scattered about.

Not a whisper of breeze.

Merely level, fractured earth vanishing into the distance.

I remained motionless for a few heartbeats, struggling to grasp the nature of this place. It didn't resemble an ordinary domain.

Abruptly, the earth before me fractured.

A clean fissure divided the ground, expanding rapidly. Rock shattered as an object emerged from below. A blocky panel of dull stone ascended steadily, causing the surrounding soil to disintegrate.

It kept climbing.

Ten feet.

Twenty.

Thirty.

The form halted only at almost fifty feet high. It formed a massive pillar, utterly rectangular, polished on every face save for one inscription close to its summit.

Prarambh.

The term was etched profoundly into the material, shimmering softly with the identical scarlet hue now threading my sword.

I approached cautiously.

At the pillar's midpoint, a symbol blazed to life. It ignited in vivid yellow. Before I could examine it more, a ray of golden brilliance lanced out from the mark. The ray was precise, bearing the System's unmistakable energy. The power cloaking the ray echoed what I'd sensed before.

The ray hit the sword I clutched.

The strike didn't force me backward. Rather, the scarlet streak on the blade flared intensely. The ray's power poured into the weapon, blending with the red radiance.

An alert panel materialized before me.

[Verification Complete.]

[Fragment Retrieved.]

The crimson light on Prarambh settled steady. The golden ray dimmed gradually, its brilliance merging into the scarlet path now coursing through Prarambh. The pillar fell quiet anew, though the calm endured briefly.

Fresh alerts started scrolling in front of me, line by line.

[Ability Restored]

[Ability Name: Nullification]

For a fleeting second, I just gazed at the title and noted it said restored, not acquired.

Further details followed.

[Nullification – Fragment State Active]

[Source: Sword Prarambh – Verified]

[Compatibility: Executor Lineage Confirmed]

Then the explanations came one by one.

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Contracts – May sever, suspend, or rewrite system-enforced agreements within operational range.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Punishment – May suppress or cancel penalties imposed by system authority.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Limitation – May temporarily remove level, rank, or growth restrictions enforced by system framework.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Encryption – May access, decode, or bypass restricted system information layers.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify Strength-Based Suppression – May negate suppression effects tied to hierarchical strength difference.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify Law Constructs – May dismantle or collapse active law formations.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify Domains – May interrupt or destabilize domain manifestation within operational limit.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Bindings – May sever imposed restraints, seals, or external control mechanisms.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify External System Authority – May override subordinate system directives within defined parameters.]

The roster went on.

[Ability Effect: Nullify Forced Evolution Paths – May prevent system-driven class or race alteration.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify System Tracking – May erase or mask presence from governing observation layers.]

[Ability Effect: Nullify Energy Conversion Locks – May bypass system-regulated resource conversion limits.]

[Ability Effect: Partial Nullification of Causality Locks – Conditional. Requires further fragment restoration.]

I breathed out steadily.

My thoughts flew through the alerts one after another. A power granting command over the system. Shock and surprise flooded me. What in the world was happening here?

This wasn't merely a battle skill. This granted dominance. The System ruled the Prime Universe. It enforced deals, chastised, capped levels, shaped development, controlled access, and dictated changes. It watched, confined, governed.

Nullification didn't supplant the System. It broke its hold. It let me void certain functions.

That implied if the System tried to tie me with a deal, I could break it. If it sought to limit progress or enforce retribution, I could block it. If a domain tried to seal an area, I could shake it apart instead of brute-forcing through.

Yet even more crucially—

If the System split into four segments, with three in Theras's grasp…

This piece of Prarambh wasn't just a tool for fighting.

It served as a safeguard.

Amun had mentioned the System was forged by the First Executor to help enact the First Order. With Theras controlling three portions of that framework, Nullification probably existed to stop abuse of system power.

The alerts kept coming.

[Warning: Fragment State – Limited Output]

[Warning: Overuse May Result in Structural Backlash]

[Warning: Full Authority Access Locked – Additional Fragments Required]

Though merely a fragment, its strength was immense even now. The ashen realm encircling me stayed the same, yet a shift registered within me. The System's essence felt sharper, woven into the surroundings like a subtle lattice.

For the initial time, I detected its joints. Nullification didn't elevate me beyond the System. It empowered me to resist it somewhat.
