Just like a nascent soul.

John now had a point mass.

It overlapped with his nascent soul as they fused. John had created his own path. It was neither the magic of the wizard world. Or the cultivation of the cultivator world.

It was something entirely new.

A fusion between the two!

Not to mention this body was now made of laws.

His durability had gotten to insane levels.

John wanted to abuse this by copying the structure of his body and creating more bodies of laws. But just like how he was unable to directly create Qi or Mana using his immortality. He was unable to spawn a body made of Laws.

This meant a few things.

Firstly, the value of this body had increased greatly.

It was stronger then his body in the Infinite Maze!

It also had extreme flexibility. Able to walk through reality using his 'Space Authority'.

He just had to pay the price of mana.

His mana capacity had greatly increased. It went from 360 to 3,600. It also was all crystalized. It was many times more dense then that of a rank 1 or 2.

He didn't need to depend on the fusion from the mysterious throne and his skeletal body to explore other universes.

This body alone could do it!

Secondly, He was essentially able to teleport without having to use his mental magic system. This worked in other worlds...

Thirdly. His capacity of mental energy had reached 8192 units.

This four times his capacity as a tier 7.

Unfortunately, it seemed this was the limit of his upgraded source. As he noticed his phantom energy bank had stopped increasing.

Thirdly, along with getting his point mass. He felt a deep control over the soulverse in his soul.

He could now manipulate and control it far easier then before.

John continued his studies at college and acquired some random miscellaneous abilities.

He had severely underestimated how good innate abilities were. He assumed it was tied to the talent organ. But this was far from the truth. With John's understanding of soul. He could tell that the ability he acquired from Aion for example, it was soul bound!

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

All abilities gotten in the chaos holder world were bound to the soul and not the talent organ. The talent organ just controlled the contract on the creature.

John was far more interested in a system like this, as he had run into a world with supernatural abilities that were controlled by the structure of the brain.

But the soul was far more useful then a brain. As it could survive even when the body was completely destroyed.

John remembered his experience of losing himself and almost getting assimilated by the law of time.

He decided to make countermeasures for this in the future.

He added more layers of security to his private consciousness.

Had he disconnected at the right time. He wouldn't have had to spend thousands of years himself in limbo. He could of had the body by itself withstand such a trap.

He still would've comprehended time. It just would of been instantly for him had he not had his private consciousness connected to the body.

With the changes he made to his private consciousness. As soon as it was bombarded with laws, it would auto disconnect. He wouldn't have to worry about losing himself.

John was already resistant to time manipulation due to having his own universe. This resistance only increased with his 100% comprehension in time.

But he still didn't have mastery of these abilities. He would need to experiment, just like how he experimented with his immortality and soul system.

He wondered just how far he could push such an ability.

His immortality wasn't capable of generating mana or QI.

But his time manipulation on the other hand... it could reverse his state.

He could truly turn back the clock.

Perhaps, he could use this to create a cycle of infinite mental energy.

Not to mention. He could bring people back to life now, even without control over their soul. He didn't even need to invade their bodies.

This ability was god like.

That was just his innate ability.

His tier 9 spell 'Time Authority'.

It could reverse the multiverse itself.

Perhaps, such a spell would be useful in the future.

John was quite glad he found such a world. It was full of endless treasures.

Abilities tied to the soul was something even he would feel greed for.

Unfortunately, he had severed his greed.

So he didn't care too much.

John was capable of giving his acquired abilities to new future phantom souls made. Now John needed to evaluate his future goals. He already had protection against other entities. He had sufficient self protection. He never had to worry about getting sealed. He also didn't have to worry about time loops.

He had severed his fear.

He had severed his greed.

He had severed his limits.

He had even severed his love.

There was only one desire left that kept John running.

It was the desire to surpass himself!

Would he be satisfied with the power he had accumulated? Or would he surpass himself again. Then again, then again.

He knew the answer deep down.

There would be no compromises.

There would be no weaknesses.

John then noticed a small issue. His original soul had become the Infinite Maze. It was becoming less human with every second that passed.

John was becoming less human.

Spending thousands of years in the time realm probably didn't help this.

"That's it! I've found my weakness!"

That's right. John had a state of enlightenment that he grasped in an instant.

You might think that John was near omnipotent now, especially with his time manipulation abilities.

But you would be entirely wrong.

To the mediocre, to the extraordinary, to those rank 8 existences.

He was indeed someone that held a certain pull and authority.

But what about those rank 9's? Or the fabled rank 10?

Just how easily could they turn his life's work into garbage?

He hadn't offended those existences. But who knew what the future held?

John had formed a plan to get rid of this new weakness.

John wanted to exist independently of his Infinite Maze.

Existing independently from the soul should be impossible. His powers were bound to his original souls configuration after all.

It was time to become free!
