Chapter: 17, Planning
Inside the cave
Sunny tightly embraced Mark, unwilling to let go. Tears of happiness were falling down in big drops.
Was she happy? Yes. Although she knows that Mark agreed because of all the girls that he would get, it still made her happy. She wanted him to choose selfishly, that might be the only way he can survive.
Feeling his warmth, she moved her head close to his intimately. But Mark put his hand on her lips to block her from moving ahead.
Trying to get some privacy, he said "Can you leave me alone for a moment? I still have a lot to think about"
Sunny was disappointed but thinking about future opportunities, she nodded and tried to leave but Mark held her hands and transferred the two shared memories to her.
"You came here to look for this, right?" He said.
She looked at him with something in her eyes, shock maybe. But she nodded and looking at her hands that Mark touched, she left happily.
Mark looked at her retreating back, and after making sure no one was here to eavesdrop, he turned to the System.
"System, what is the limit of the Copy ability?"
[Host, there are two. For attributes and Knowledge, there is no limit. But for abilities you can only copy up to supreme rank, since G3 haven't told us about those above supreme abilities yet. Other than those, there are none.]
Mark let out a sigh of relief, getting ready for the ultimate power-up. He opened his system panel
{[DIVINE COPY SYSTEM]

"Use copy, Target: King of Swords" Mark commanded.
[Target Located, Please specify the Trait]
"Use six Copy chances and Copy all five abilities and his 'Throne of Steel'"
[Copying King of Swords…]
[Copy Successful]
With that, his body went through remarkable changes that weren't visible to others. He felt as if he awakened his affinity to metal, and it was very strong to the point of matching Anvil himself.
With physical capabilities of a Transcendent and Will matching a Supreme; Mark's overall capabilities has reached the supreme rank. And that is only after copying one Supreme.
"Next Copy target: Queen of Worms. Do the same with abilities and 'Throne of Flesh'" Mark said
[Copying Queen of Worms…]
[Copy Successful]
As the system sounded, something happened in Mark's soul sea. He entered his soul to witness something incredible. At a distance inside his soul sea, two magnificent Thrones were standing tall, letting out a majestic presence.
The first throne was made completely out of metal, making it shine in the dim light of his soul sea.
The second throne was made completely out of flesh, with blood flowing out from various parts of those fleshes, and in the dim light, it gave an eerie and sinister vibe around it.
As he came out of his soul sea, he noticed the changes. He has unlocked his affinity to flesh and blood and his abilities and will over them have reached that of Ki Song's.
Feeling satisfied, he used it again, "Use copy, target: Lost from Light. Copy the nascent form of his domain."
[Copy unsuccessful]
Mark became shocked, why couldn't he copy sunny's nascent domain, when he could already copy actual Supremes'. Unable to figure it out, he asked the system.
[Host, you cannot copy someone's will over the World. You can only copy the Throne of their source element, the Throne itself allows you to use will over its own elements. You cannot copy someone's will over the world itself, which is their domain.]
[And your soul isn't supreme, so how can you expect to copy the supreme soul that connects to a fragment of the world?]
"So, I can only copy sunny's Throne of Shadows and have willed over the shadows. But I cannot copy her domain."
[Yes]
"That means, if I want a domain, I have to become a supreme. Otherwise, I can only have Will or Authority over a certain element."
He sighed, it was unfortunate that he can't copy Domains, but this was enough to make him on par with a supreme rank as a mere Dreamer. Not to mention the enhancement he would receive after he awakened, ascended and even when he became transcendent.
This many abilities were enough to make him invincible. It doesn't affect him that he can't copy Domains, but his Will over these elements was enough that he can fight against a sovereign when he becomes an Ascended. So what can he complain about?
Suddenly, He remembered someone. If he doesn't even Copy someone who could compete against three sovereigns alone, how can he actually be invincible?
With a deep sigh of excitement, Mark said "Use Copy, Target: Broken Sword. Follow the same example."
[Copying Broken Sword…]
[Copy Successful]
As the system announced, Mark looked inside his soul sea, where now stood a Third Throne. But this one was a bit different.
The spell announced it as the 'Throne of Perception'. It doesn't give him an element, but it increases his Perception to an unimaginable level. His surroundings, abilities, techniques and everything that can be perceived, will be perceived by him.
Not to mention, his perception is really fast, almost instant. And if he can perceive anything, even the secrets of his own ascension, he can truly try to follow The Natural path to Ascension.
But he won't… because him alone becoming strong, won't guarantee others safety. He needs to challenge nightmare seed along with the cohort.
Now, with these three Supreme Thrones, he can follow the plan he made right away.
And that is to help Nephis rule over humanity and make sure the entire humanity is safe along with them.
Suddenly he heard footsteps, before he might have missed them, but now his perception is Supreme.
To be Continued…
