Timothy turned into a blob. It wasn’t that he enjoyed being a blob, but after Genta led by example once she shifted, he had to follow along. She wanted to swim towards the deep seas, and only the gods knew how deep she actually wanted to swim, as blobs were known to stride in the deep waters, so this journey might end up being dangerous. Genta was very sparing of details, she didn't care to explain everything to her team mate.

The journey to the micro universe of Valporovus was not an easy one. It had its many odds and ends, full of unprecedented challenges that made their journey beyond hectic, but in the end, they were happy with the results! They beamed through Valporovus’ dry lands, and came out of that universe’s portal stronger than ever, a lot stronger than they expected to become, even!
They were stronger now. The confident attitude that was embedded in Timothy’s conscience ever since the very b...

The idea that Rempegan Lus favored him, wasn't too far off. Lus was a god, and in a way, Timothy had helped purify a fraction of Lus’ old home, and so, it wasn’t too insane to assume that he won the favor of a god! He experienced four more flash upgrades, after all, and it was safe to assume that something holy was what pushed his mana bracket forward. For once, he wasn’t angry at the gods!

Timothy knew when he was beaten, or in other words, he understood that there were measures he could take in order to avoid being beaten. He had to use this window of time he had in order to avoid certain doom.
It was impossible for him to win a fight against three Arch Mages, and tens of Expert Mages, he wouldn’t even dream of it. This was impossible in any universe, and under any circumstances or calculations! He could not win against them, and he decided not to try at all. He had to...

Timothy got the upper advantage in battle, regardless of how stupendous, and sudden his method may have been! There were still a few, strong dark mages within the bunch, but they weren't powerful enough to kill him, so their lives were at his mercy, and he wasn't planning on being merciful today, considering that this entire group had been looking forward to him being punished! Their death was inevitable.

The shere cognitive ability that came with creating a power of his own, could make him the most powerful stingray that ever strode the seas! He was very happy about it, but in a sense, he also became a bit demotivated every time he tried to create a new power.
The more he twiddled with the knotty, mazy channels of mana within an essence, the more he understood how difficult, and limitless this craft was! This demotivated him, because he was smart enough to understand that although he wa...

“Demons, eh? I'm gonna put this aside for now.” He decided, as much as this decision hurt his curious nature.
Timothy continued to browse through the various powers that would let him summon other creatures, and or ghosts, and he was really impressed by them! He never used abilities like these before, so he didn’t want to rush with them, as he needed some time to figure out the mana channels within the essences of the abilities if he was to create something of his own, something d...

Timothy snuck out of the hole that he had crawled in, and he came out of his hiding spot with a plan in mind. He was going to remain in hiding, yes, but the most important part of his plan was to snipe the Hunched Humans in front of him, one at a time! He couldn’t face all of them alone, so it was best to be sneaky about this, he had to be cautious.
The idea to kill them all, wasn't exactly new, but it was still contemporary. It stemmed from the fact that he had to make this place saf...

Timothy shot down three blue planktons. He was very effective at killing them, however, the system wasn't giving him any points for it. She just accumulated the points that he had earned by killing those Hunched Humans earlier on.
[You've accumulated a total of 49,000 system points. The Hunched Humans that you killed today, really buffed up your sum.] She beeped, but Timothy didn’t care much for these points, because he didn’t like the number four.

Timothy surfed down towards the spot where that old man's corpse was supposed to be, and inhaled the numerous powers that the said corpse had left behind. Initially he expected to absorb two or three powers, considering that each essence of these powers was pitch black, and therefore looked identical to one another, but that was not the case. He absorbed seventeen new powers, or, fractions of those seventeen powers at least!

Timothy absolutely dominated his six opponents, he had the upper hand, and performed accordingly. However, he was still far away from completing the mountain of tasks that he was stacking above his shoulders!
For example, if he ran into an opponent that was more powerful than him, he'd be dead, so he was working on the not-dying part. He degraded one of the fresh corpses in front of him, took its skull, and started shaping it into a helmet, because quite frankly, he didn’t want to ris...

“Great! As if I had a lot of mana to begin with!” Tim remarked, sarcastically.
The function of the pyramids in front of him was very clear now, they were purely put here to convert the abundant mana around them! It converted blue mana into dark mana!
The humanoids here were practitioners of the dark, arcane arts, there was no doubt about it now. If they weren’t, there was virtually no other reason for them to convert the mana to begin with!

Performing covert actions was never easy, and it was especially difficult for a scheming anglerfish. He was having a hard time here!
Nevertheless, it was best to be covert given the circumstances that they were in. Since a massive wyrm risked its own neck to keep Timothy, and his team away from the ruins, it was easy to put two and two together, and take the wyrm's warning seriously!
It was absolutely stupid to attack the dark mages here directly, not unless the team knew what the...

The system kept flashing these notifications at the corner of his eye, even after he experienced the flash upgrade.

At this rate he might have another flash upgrade after a coupl...

“That's not a dragon, that's a wyrm!” Gustav corrected him.
“Potato potato! Shoot the bastard!” Timothy commanded.
The platoon had quite some time to attack it, given that the wyrm was still over three-hundred meters away from them. For the time being only those who could shoot lightning bolts, could actually hit the dragon, on the count of how far away it was, and these guys didn't hold back! Hundreds of bolts flew towards the wyrm, and when the wyrm reached the two-hundr...

Timothy, the team, and his three-hundred slaves strode the sea, and they all had one goal in mind. They wanted to get to the Ruins of Aqumus, and there, they wanted to reap every ounce of mana that they could get!

Dark mana was a unique concept that Timothy had never heard of before. Sure he was aware that there were different types of mana, such as psidium, calidum, and flesh mana, each of which had special characteristics and demanded full dominance of one’s mana pool, but he never heard of dark mana! Necromantic powers being dark, apparently wasn't just a figurative speech!
However, formalities aside, Tim cared more about if these new settings would help him complete his plans quicker, cheap...
