Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2065 Synergy

Maybe saying that it was spacetime didn't really do it justice. Instead, it was more accurate to say that they had all been influenced by his Cosmos Fog, giving them just that added bit of power and Control.

With his Cosmos Fog attached to the foundation of these abilities, Ryu got the best of both worlds. On the one hand, his Dao Bones allowed him to communicate with the Heavens in a way a Human shouldn't be able to, but on the other, it also allowed him to exhibit Control that a beast wouldn't.

It could be said that though the Dragon Emperor was the first existence to show Ryu the sort of power that Control could exhibit, Control was actually a weakness of the beasts. That was because Control relied on influencing the world around you with your own will rather than allowing the Heavens to carry you instead.

The fact that the Dragon Emperor could exhibit that sort of control at all was a testament to his talent. But he definitely didn't have the innate capacity for it.

That was what attached Cosmos Fog to all of his elemental Bone Structures did for Ryu. It was like an innate boost to his Control, giving him a sort of power the likes of which an existence of his caliber shouldn't have.

Ryu already had Lord Control despite being a mere Omniscient Sky God. But with this Cosmos Fog, his Control could dwarf most Sovereign Control.

This sort of thing was mind-numbing.

If Ryu had had Sovereign Control alone, ignoring all of the other improvements to his strength, that last clash with Sarriel wouldn't have harmed him in the slightest. In fact, there likely wouldn't have been an explosion to begin with. The world would have been forced to hold.

This was just the most important of the synergies, but there were other much more "trivial," but shocking in their own way changes as well.

For example, when Cosmos Fog was fused with his Ninefold Frostbane Bone Structure's ability to freeze time itself, there was a mutation.

It had to be remembered that Ninefold Frostbane didn't actually freeze time, but it instead chilled particles so much that it might as well freeze time. With the Cosmos Fog attached to it, it could perform much more targeted freezings, chilling attacks or defenses at different rates to crumble them apart from the inside out as the qi control used to wield them gave way. But most shocking of all...

It could even be used on Daos and Inheritances directly now. Cosmos Fog allowed such deep control that he could probably freeze a person's comprehension itself before they could even use it in battle, severing that piece of the world from them and not allowing them to get into contact with the Heavens.

Or there was the synergy the Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure had with his Nine Revolution Skybreaker Bone Structure.

He had reached Ten Revolutions on his own, but his Cosmos Fog could store them and explode with multiple at once.

What if he stacked Twenty Revolution? Thirty? More? Just ten alone was a shocking feat, and every Revolution was at least a 20% increase in power that was stackable with the previous Revolution. By the time you got to the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Revolutions, you were looking at basically double the power every time, while the Tenth was even more shocking than that.

Although storing the Revolutions wouldn't continue to stack them so perfectly, storing Revolutions took time. This "time" might have just been a split second to Ryu, but in a battle of experts, that might as well be an eternity.

What would happen if he stored several and exploded with them in quick succession?

There were simply too many small synergetic effects just like this to list that it almost wasn't worth it to document them all for Ryu. He could easily come up with new ones mid-battle and use them with just as much fluidity and without losing a single beat.

But these were still just the synergetic effects between Boundless Cosmos Bone Structure and the elemental Bone Structures.

The Empyrean Warframe was shocking in its own right. Crafted by an Ancestor of the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils, it was designed to forge a close combat expert, to maximize one's bodily strength and use everything at one's disposal to display the greatest strength possible.

But what about when your bodily strength included Dao Runes?

Ryu's Empyrean Warframe didn't just exploit his body alone; it touched upon concepts of his elements. The reason Ryu was so confident in thinking of new synergies on the spot and using them mid-battle was precisely because of his Empyrean Warframe.

There was just a natural fluidity to his body that came with it, one that made him feel like he didn't need to practice at all because everything would come naturally to him.

He wasn't even that adept at using Light and Darkness, or Earth especially for that matter, but his Empyrean Warframe made him feel as though he had been using them for a lifetime.

Everything just felt...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Natural.

Ilis control extended out of his body and his elements became like an extension of himself. But that was the key reason why this was just the simplest change. That was because his Empyrean Warframe now allowed him to use the world as an extension of his senses for precisely that reason. If the original Empyrean Warframe allowed perfect reactions with the body itself, this mutated version allowed Ryu to read and react to things even not happening directly to him. So long as they were in a world filled with some sort of elements, he would be able to...

And in Ryu's case, he could even create a world himself by projecting his inner world, essentially taking his elements along with him wherever he went.

And once again, on top of this, there were countless little synergetic effects he couldn't be bothered to go through entirely...

And that left the synergy between his Boundless Cosmos and Empyrean Warframe...
