Thinking of those two 'Ocular Powers', Lorien couldn't help but feel excited as both of them are very useful to him.
The first will allow him to face those who have the power of destiny and time and not be constrained by them, and the second will allow him to quickly advance his power and knowledge without having to study and analyze things as slowly as he did before.
So, with his eyes filled with enthusiasm, he immediately began thinking of ways to copy them, or at least replicate some of their characteristics and adapt them to his own situation.
After all, he doesn't need or want a carbon copy of those abilities as that would be very constricting; all he requires of them is to be helpful and possess the potential for improvement, he wants an ability that will not only be helpful now but also in the future.
So, with his brain working overtime, Lorien started thinking out loud.
"For the Heavenly Eye, its abilities could be simulated using my [Clairvoyance] to look at all the possible futures, then, I can use my reality-altering power to realize the one I choose."
"It could also be used to eliminate unwanted futures which will be great for defensive purposes!"
Nodding in affirmation, he couldn't help but assert.
"Limiting the infinite number of futures into one; this is somewhat similar to how I use my power to reverse cause and effect."
"Moreover, with the addition of the powers of Destiny and Time, even if I were to fight someone with such power, I won't be suppressed!"
Finding a way to copy Musashi's 'Heavenly Eye', Lorien couldn't help but feel enlivened.
It's just that thinking about the 'Migeiko', he immediately started getting a headache as he didn't know how to go about copying this ability.
However thankfully, this didn't last long as Lorien suddenly slammed his right fist on his left palm, his eyes widening as he then exclaimed.
"GOT IT!"
"I could use the power of time and more precisely the power to 'gaze at the past'; doing so I can observe a person's experience, what he lived through, what he learned, and everything about him."
"Then, I can use the combined powers of Dream, Destiny, and time to copy those experiences over."
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, those powers are great for cheating! The power of 'Time' could be used to shorten the period needed to learn things, the power of 'Destiny' could be used to learn stuff that will be learned in the future by reversing cause and effect, and the power of 'Dreams' could simply turn dreams into reality, no logic needed there!"
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Smiling happily, Lorien couldn't help but imagine his future life where he could simply look at people and copy their abilities without having to do anything extra.
However, just as he was about to implement his plan, he suddenly frowned as he thought of something.
"Those abilities border on concepts and laws, I am not able to create them based on my current power and knowledge, however, I could take a brute force approach and simply burn energy to achieve it."
"It's just that, the energy to be consumed will be immense, and it might affect my plans to create the 'Nightmare Realm'."
The moment he thought of this, Lorien's enthusiasm dwindled a bit, however, it was soon lit up again as his eyes were filled with resolve and decisiveness.
"I can't suppress the transformation any longer or else I will simply lose this opportunity."
"The 'Nightmare Realm' could be created later on, moreover, [Luck] and things like that are nothing but external things, their importance can't compare to that of strengthening my own power."
"So, I should improve my own power, then, I'll think of over things!"
Deciding on this, Lorien didn't hesitate for a moment as he immediately began implementing his plan causing the reserves of 'Dream Energy' to start getting consumed at an incredible rate.
However, Lorien wasn't that worried about this, after all, things such as 'Dream Energy' are renewable resources, moreover, the reserves he has right now are the accumulated dreams of the entire planet for a few months, so it's imaginable how massive it is.
'If this amount of energy isn't enough to optimize my eyes then I don't know what is.'
'Well, whatever, time to focus, I just hope things go as planned!'
*Hufff*
Heaving a long sigh, Lorien focused his full attention on the ongoing transformation as he tried his best to guide it.
However, unbeknown to him, a couple of meters from where he was sitting, someone was standing there observing his actions in silence.
It appears that even with Lorien's current power and the existence of his divine sense, he wasn't able to feel this individual's presence.
Even Lorien's ability to directly sense 'Reality' itself was useless in this case; It was as if they weren't even there.
It's just that thankfully for him, it appears that this person held no malice towards Lorien, rather, it was quite the opposite.
*Siiiigh*
Giving off a long sigh, the beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous black dress couldn't help but touch her chin as she started thinking.
'This guy grew quite fast, moreover, this power system he created is totally interesting.'
'With some improvements and with the addition of another level, this would be a viable addition to the war!'
'It's just a pity that it is still in its infancy right now, otherwise, I would have asked him for a copy.'
Shaking her head, she pushed the loose strands of her long red hair behind her ear as her golden eyes suddenly focused.
'When I helped him make those eyes, I focused on the aspect of 'Future', 'Present', and 'Past' with 'Time' being subsidiary to 'Dream'.'
'But I really didn't expect him to make such a modification, however, thankfully, the abilities he chose are very compatible and are still within the limits I set at the beginning, otherwise, there would have been a conflict.'
'The 'Heavenly Eye' ability he spoke of corresponds to the 'Future' aspect while the 'Migeiko' ability corresponds to the 'Past', what's missing to create a complete balance is the 'Present' aspect'
'I could add an ability that allows him to look at the 'Present' and ignore 'Time-Pauses', it's extremely useful!'
'Well, even though he improved a lot, he still lacks a lot of knowledge, but whatever, let me help him again!'
'I am also a bit curious as to what sort of ability will be born with my assistance, after all, even I don't know what will ensue now.'
Thinking of this, Moira's eyes narrowed slightly as a smile appeared on her face.
"Hhahaha, It's very interesting! My decision to choose you was very correct!"
"Come on! don't disappoint me!"
