Chapter 2682 Unexpected Absorption
"Fuck!"
The moment the Nautilus' Compass appeared, Walkas shouted as he tried to advance towards Minos. The item made of a blue metal and black pointer, with golden symbols on it, gleamed, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surroundings, while a golden beam emanated from it.
Seeing the item active again after so long, Walkas despaired as he considered the signal it would send out to his enemies.
Wenni swallowed hard, unable to understand how, with no command, the item had activated.
Amid this, Minos felt the initial golden beam bend repeatedly, quickly reaching 512 beams of light, almost all of them somehow seeking him out.
Spreading his six wings, he raised the properties of his body, while controlling the time in his vicinity, forming a small hourglass in his other hand, dropping the metal box where the compass was.
Then the item moved as if it had gained consciousness, slipping out of Walkas' hand that was approaching it, while heading towards Minos' right wrist. freewebnσvel.cøm
Minos had no chance to dodge. Even though he had foreseen the compass's behavior, the small artifact's speed was far superior to his ability to react.
When he tried to pull his right wrist closer to his body, he felt as if beetles were crawling under his skin, from his right wrist towards his shoulder.
Abby paled at the sight, making a blue mist appear towards Minos.
Tiolos didn't know what to do and just stared at his ally, sensing that something awful or superb was about to unfold.
"Shit!"
Wenni couldn't imagine what was happening, but being that it was a Celestial grade item, stopping it now that it had invaded Minos' body would be impossible.
Walkas paled, becoming even more like his cadaverous nature.
Then, just as he was about to touch Minos' body and send a fraction of his spiritual senses to help his newest ally, Minos' hands moved, blocking Walkas' movement.
A seal formed in the air in front of Minos as the sound of drums rose from his chest.
Minos felt as if a padlock had opened inside his body and, suddenly, a strange force came from his Incorruptible Heart, connecting to the compass and finishing integrating itself into his brain, positioned in the middle of his forehead.
With no need for a message or anything, Minos sat down in a lotus position as the skies above that boat opened up, with a rainbow-colored beam of light hitting them.
'A second part of a True Celestial's body!'
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Minos clenched his fists, recognizing the true spiritual fluctuation of that item, 100% compatible with his organism.
'No wonder Walkas couldn't use it. A part of a True Celestial's body can only be used by someone compatible. And that someone will certainly absorb it and enter the heritage of True Celestials!'
A smile spread across Minos' lips as his cultivation soared, with every part of his body improving qualitatively while the two corpses and his two companions looked on in shock.
All the crew and bodies up to a few hundred kilometers away felt the changes in Minos' surroundings, with the strange phenomena of the Violent Sea calming down as the area became richer in spiritual energy.
Minos used this to his advantage, collecting as much law and energy as he could, until his cultivation reached the peak of level 112!
Crack!
With a snap, Minos' soul overcame its limiters, rapidly advancing to the beginning of level 113, while all his techniques, skills and body parts stabilized with new characteristics and limitations. But in particular, two new skills emerged in Minos' mind.
The first skill, Navigator, could create a 4D map of the surrounding space, extending in all directions for up to 200 kilometers. The second skill, Destiny, used the information from the first to create a path, or a plan, that would give its user the best possible result when moving through such an area.
Minos grasped both abilities, but not only that, they went far beyond what the legends Walkas and Wenni had heard said the Nautilus' Compass could do.
'Interesting. These new powers can make me not only know the best way forward, but observe opportunities within my reach and what the best plans are for dealing with those opportunities. This also includes the consequences of each possible action considering my surroundings.'
Minos felt his heart flutter with joy, while internally he felt anxious, given how fantastic the combination of the two skills was.
'Tsk! That guy was right. Combining other parts of a True Celestial's body really takes me to a whole new level.'
As he thought, Minos sensed his surroundings, noticing dangers, opportunities and also the best way to go about the area, noticing the world around him in such a way that, for a moment, he felt truly omniscient.
What for him seemed to last a whole day, it didn't last even 10 minutes for his companions watching him. In this way, he brought his mind back to reality.
As he faced the shocked gazes of the two Supreme corpses and Tiolos, Minos couldn't help but smile.
Only Abby hadn't been totally shocked by what had just happened, having already seen too much of her husband to doubt him and what could happen when he was involved.
"Minos..." Tiolos opened his mouth, but before he had a chance to say more, Wenni stepped forward to touch one of Minos' wrists.
"What happened? What did you do with the Nautilus' Compass?" she asked in a tone that was, for the first time, agitated, her voice spreading to the entire crew of that ship.
Walkas was too pale, almost breathless, unable to ask what was on his mind, so he kept his eyes on Minos, waiting for an answer from this man with white hair and seraphim wings.
Minos laughed, not knowing what to say. He couldn't tell the truth.
"Hmm, well, how can I explain it..." He alternated his gaze between the two of them. "It seems that the Nautilus' Compass has recognized me as its user and has now integrated itself with my body." He pointed to the middle of his forehead, where there was now a small blue crystal with a golden tip pointing upwards.
"But first, we have to leave this place as quickly as possible." Minos shouted as he brought his voice to Diret's ears. "Sail at maximum speed to the southwest! No one is to move until I give the go-ahead.
In the meantime, you two should rest. We'll talk about your doubts when we leave the range of the two Supremes approaching us!" Minos sent the two corpses to two black urns.
