Temporal Pearls

Seth could use his Aura Sight to see through the crimson Diamond, a fascinating crimson jewel that calmed the mind away from the distractions of his surroundings.

He took out the Clear Crystal Stone and placed it on top of the red diamond. Immediately, he felt his mind focus and become somewhat contained.

[You have achieved Pristine Thought]

Seth frowned, he didn't know what that meant but he felt the need to turn off the moon blessing that seemed to keep going. And so he did.

Somehow, he felt he had been using it a lot and he should stop. He looked to the side and saw one of the books written by his Ascendant Self, which gave him some insight.

A realization dawns on him: using very high-end artifacts, carrying strange with side-effect tools, and using items or tools from very high-grade individuals and beings will reduce his use of First Might.

Seth pulled out the book that discussed it and read it, and while he did not understand everything, he understood enough.

Mingling with Living Roots, Arf, and even acquiring Noble Class have all reduced the use of First Might.

In some ways, it was a good thing because the Might was not meant to be used all the time, which was actually detrimental in the long run.

However, when something or someone has a desire for you, they must suppress their First Might in order to control you. Chapter Find:

That is, his connection with Moon was constantly suppressing First Might, which could lead him to do things he would not normally do.

First Might's nature provided the benefits of freedom, such as breaking the hold of anything on the owner and the ability to go against everyone else's might and never break.

Seth remembered him clashing with many existences, yet his Might never betrayed him. This demonstrated how potent it was.

Seth looked at the Moon Stigma, which could improve him while also restoring his stamina, or Exertion Point. Ever since he got it, he seemed to have not activated First Might except in battle with that Golden Old Man.

To be honest, he began to forget about it. And, despite his grade advantage, he always considered waiting and going to the moon for blessings.

"It was not all bad." He remarked as he reflected that the more powerful he became, the less he would use First Might.

"However, The Maw and The Swimmer should have a touch of Might to solve their problem!"

That was the first problem he noticed.

Normally, First Might will fix every problem or improve skill and arms, but this time it didn't.

The more he sensed, the more he confirmed that because he was under the moon and had recently used moon blessings, he could not actively use first might.

He read the entire book to realize that he could upset the balance if he was in an equilibrium position. That is, the moon may have a hold on him, but if he was in another individual's space control, he could use First Might.

"I need to return to Living Roots to use First Might, or if I am in a similar location!"

[Clear Thought has set a mental priority]

~Condition Set

___

Seth looked at the notification and smiled. Looked like he found the use of the Clear Crystal and Red Diamond union.

Seth began to pull out the ingredients from the storage red ring and start concocting the skills.

[Red Signature Book]

~Category: Arf Item

~Special Grade: 1

~Special Attribute: Indestructible. Halo.

~Use: Storage. Fusion&Fission. Skill Documentation.

[This Book has limitless potential]

_____

Storage was for storing blood and red-related liquid and Fusion&Fision is about merging or dividing liquid and solid res items.

Skill Documentation is all about creating new abilities. Now there were several documented skills that Retina did and with the ingredients, he can finalize them and make them permanent.

This roundabout way was a result of Seth's inability to create Arf and even if he can, controlling it might be a problem.

But with ingredients and a single drop of Arf, he can get a permanent skill.

Seth with some thoughts began to follow the same method in which he created the Red Signature Book.

He first pulled out all the ingredients, then used Identification with High Intelligence and Savant talent. Which allowed him to know the ingredients well and their possible usage.

Then he shouted Crafting Talent which made his mind enter into a state of comprehension of the usages of the items and their reaction to each other.

The documented Skill already has a process to follow and he can skip this step but Seth wanted to see it for himself. He might glean something. That was true as he saw other paths.

Queen Retina has documented six skills from what he has used Arf for before and then she added four of her own. His Arf usage was; Red Whip, Round Ball Protection (Cocoon), Cushion, Red Strings Fence, Dragon Bind now known as Great Bind, Bind. Lastly, Red Stream (River).

These were the major things he has used.

Red Whip created a whip that attacked and defended him. He used it against Zero and others. Round Ball Shield was the Cocoon he used to hide inside to protect himself from attacks.

A cushion was made to reduce his impact on solid ground or even resist air pressures as he was thrown away.

Red Strings Fence was making almost invisible Strings floating around him. They react to anyone who passes them with negative intentions. This skill was versatile as Seth used it to fight angry Dave and his group

Great Bind was used on Dragons and other powers. The bind releases heavy pressure inside it to suppress them.

Bind was a weaker version and had less suppression. It was the one that he used on the Zambia group in the cave.

Red Stream was the iconic Red River Seth used to call when he was facing danger. This time it was called stream. He may be able to use all the above skills or manipulate the liquid for various means.

These were the things Seth would focus on before he started looking at the Skill invented by Queen Retina for him. They appeared to be complex in design, requiring more than half of the materials he had purchased.

The easiest to make, the one that will serve as the bedrock of everything, was Red Stream.

Seth stared at the first Page of the skill documentation, it felt as if he was looking at the chemical formula of water as well as its bond depiction.

The difference was the red nature in it. Even so, it appeared that regular water had been placed in a red container.

Using Fission and Fusion, he began separating the liquid form of everything he purchased, including animal, insect, and beast blood. Sap from plant trees, flowers, and many other sources.

He then opened his Soothing Gouard and poured it onto the page. He controlled it in such a way that it continued to seep inside.

The process was straightforward; each chemical formula and bond depiction was a representation of the ingredients he possessed.

Using Aura sight and Identification with a crafting mind he can see how he can fuse them.

It was like trying to trace an existing drawing.

However, one minute into the activity, Seth realized it would not be so simple. Heck, it is difficult.

Because controlling and moving each molecule required an extreme level of concentration. Not only that, once a full bond is formed, it will break if another is formed.

It is as if there must be a pattern for how to connect them. Furthermore, some areas must be bonded at the same time while others are kept from breaking.

Seth examined the materials; he had only one attempt. He has no choice but to seek Moon Blessings. (The irony.)

Seth was dumbfounded by what he was seeing now. The Red Stream was analogous to Arf's Red River; it would be unique to him and only him.

He had anticipated that it would be the easiest, but it was the most difficult to make. With his High Intelligence and Savant Talent, Seth sought the assistance of other resources to complete this massive project.

He brought the last crystal he had, then floated, activated his Cape Halo, and made his staff glow with moonlight.

Cape Halo caused his halo to be drilled before concentrating and observing everything. He frowned more and more as he looked, and when the Moon blessing was over, he turned off everything.

He quietly used the Book's Storage Ability to keep the liquid inside. Before he leaned back to read through the Skill.

"It is more intricate than I expected, and it generates water passively using my aura as a source."

Seth wished he had made this while he was Ascendent, but it appeared to be a dream. But hope was not lost; all he had to do was study it while also using his aura to fuel certain bonds and nodes in the skill formation.

He will not begin to make the Red Stream until he has sufficient fuel. He can still make the other skills, but he discovered that using Red Stream makes it easier and faster.

So, Seth became patient as he raced towards Dragon Burtali.
