CH409

Holy shit, I’m a god.

He ignored Myriad, he was simply feeling too incredible to be brought down. No matter how disorienting the change to his mind had been, its effect on his ability to learn mind skills had been beyond massive.

It had been a week since he’d first gotten thought speed enhancement, only a little longer for rapid thought speed, and both of them had made it to the ninth level, bringing the speed he could make himself think at all the way up to one hundred and fifty percent faster. When he used it on all of his minds, the world around him felt like it slowed down, moving in slow motion.

It was an incredible feeling and one he was looking to push even farther as soon as he could.

So how do you think I’ll need to awaken the skill? If I put all of my mind into practicing with it at once then I should be able to get an insane amount of experience for it, it can’t be too hard, right?

What I’m hearing is that I’m absolutely taking mind master next. I may not know how long any advanced variants of it will take, but I’d be shocked if that one takes me more than a day or two to finish with my thoughts like this.

<…You know, I think I’m getting too used to watching you complete jobs. A master path is meant to take years.>

Well, sucks to be everyone who doesn’t have a thousand powerful minds in their head but I’m different. Who knows, maybe I’ll just take a month to do it and whatever advanced mind variants pop up after.

They continued to chat back and forth as Ben made his way through Allfaith. Thera still needed to stay as she finished up helping the last two of Zandale’s apprentices get her skill, but the others had finished and left just the day before, and he had his own things to do as he went off get more skills for himself in the one place in that city he knew would be agreeable. The home of Amy, Jake, and Yuzu.

By going there, Ben would be able to get both archmagic and non-affintied magic on rings, greatly reducing the amount he’d need to carry, at least until he got each individual one on a ring. There were always going to be slight differences in awakened skills, but in general, it was safe to assume that something specialized would be more powerful, even if it lacked the flexibility of a less specialized skill.

But that doesn’t matter in the slightest because I’m going to have every awakened magic to play with after this!

At least, that was what he’d thought. It was only as he arrived at the gate of the mansion the three of them lived in that his hopes were dashed.

“Sorry, none of them are here at the moment,” Guard told him when he tried to get in. “Won’t be back for a couple weeks either. I can take a message if you’d like?”

“Ah, no it’s fine, thanks.”

That just means I need an alternative.

He knew there were solutions available to him, plenty of them in fact. Quilith had visited him just a few days before to talk as they’d agreed, and he knew he’d be meeting up with the various grey in a month to copy their skills onto rings, but he didn’t want to have to wait that long.

He did have a different benefit though that could cut down on the time and get him a few different skills rings too if he played his cards right. He’d just need some help, so he found a place to sit in the time he had before speaking in his head, grabbing his god’s attention again.

Okay, so that was a bust but I’ve got another option. I’m just going to need you to talk to some of the other gods about it to make it work.

It’s nothing bad. In fact, it’s the opposite of bad. I shouldn’t even be the one making this offer, you all should be begging me to do this for you.
