Chapter 60, A Replica of a Powerful Artifact
----------------------------------------
...
Multiple more days had passed since Adam's fire incident, and Amon was floating above the clearing. His eyes swept over every inch of the surroundings as he was in deep thought.
There was currently the large mansion that he had first created, along side Adam's home, the bench and pond, and a gravel path that connected the three.
'I think it's time I start multi-tasking.' He thought, raising his hands as he molded the magicka in the surroundings.
Using his maximum strength, he leveled the ground, removed trees, deepened parts of the ground, gave life to even larger trees, grew vegetation, made mountains arise, and spawned water.
It took dozens of minutes, in during which Adam left his house to see what was going on, but eventually, a very large portion of the seemingly endless forest biome was altered.
It was like Amon had formed an entirely new world. There were enormous floating islands that hid behind the clouds, and mountains that almost scratched them.
His final reformation was the hardest of all, it was the act of surrounding the newly created biome that was the size of a very large country in a barrier of dense magicka. The magicka itself was so dense that Amon was positive that even the beings like Pluto would find it hard to enter.
It was a marvelous sight that utterly shocked Adam and all life that had their homes reformed and changed.
The way the sky lit up in a ray of bright purple, and locked them from the cruel outside world made all the wildlife feel at ease for some reason.
This barrier would make it almost impossible to enter. It even hid the section of space from the outside world, making everything around collapse in on each other, so unless one had a great affinity for space or perfect mastery over it, they would never be able to enter.
The probability of someone entering was so low that Amon had almost no worries. After all, in the outside world, all one had to do was take a single step and they would cross over thousands of miles unknowingly.
"I'm pleased with this." Amon muttered, looking at the center of the new space he had just created,
Sitting there was a massive tree that was bigger than any mountain, it even had some of the floating islands near its lower branches.
"Perfect...." Amon could hear Adam gasp through their mental connection. Adam currently resided at the end of a waterfall, where his and Amon's home was. The view from their houses was amazing, and Adam had lost all of his thoughts.
Seeing his awe, Amon teleported through space and appeared next to him.
"It's called Yggdrasil." He said, making Adam's eyes widen.
Amon was well aware of the fact that Adam new of the world tree from the Norse mythos.
"It's the sapling of an old Universal tree I've been carrying on me, and I've decided to finally plant it." The sentence left Adam in even more awe as the only thing he could think was-
'A sapling?!' The thought made Amon chuckle a bit, but he moved on.
"I've decided it's time for me to build a pantheon and spread wonder throughout the cosmos again. And for that, I'll of course need a haven to house my children." He continued. "So I created this separate space to house Yggdrasil. Eventually, I'll travel inside and form a new universe, but that's for later." Amon finished his monologue with a sigh, looking towards the awed Adam and smiling.
"Of course, you'll become a God under my tutelage." Amon smiled even wider and pat Adam on the back, mercilessly sending him to the ground.
"But of course that will be for later as you're far too weak..." With this sentence, Amon turned around and started walking towards his house.
"I'll become a God?" Adam murmured, excitement laced in his voice and his eyes shone with determination.
"THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!" He yelled happily, letting his voice reign freely over all other sounds.
'Couldn't be a little quieter?' Amon sighed with a smile as he entered his home.

...
Amon sat on the ledge of an underground cliff. He had moved the cavern from before, and It now sat deep below Yggdrasil, and was even larger than before. There was an abundant amount of magicka, mana, and other energies running rampant in the cave. In some parts it was so dense that it formed rivers, letting all the condensed energies flow into a lower point in the cave, mixing and creating an all too powerful condensed energy.
"It would be great if I had the physical strength to handle such a powerful energy..." Amon complained as he stood up.
Looking over the cavern he opened up his display and pondered.
[Meta Powers: All Fusion (OP), All Adaptability (OP), Nigh-Almighty Magicka (SSS), Time Flow (S)]
[Energies: Magicka (SSS), Mana (SSS), Physical Energy (SSS), Mental Energy (SS), Spatial Energy (S)]
[Super Powers: Regeneration (SSS)]
[Resistances: Death (A), Emotional Thinking (S), Pain (SS), Physical Damage (D)]
[Immunities: Mind Manipulation]
[Enhancements: Display Abilities (A), Three Prying Eyes (SSS)]
"This thing is terrible at displaying abilities..." He said, looking at the screen before him. In his opinion, this system knock-off wasn't up to par, and since he had an two OP abilities like [All Adaptability] and [All Fusion], he decided to change it.
He closed both the hologram and his eyes and thought the hardest he ever had. It took a few moments, but he knew what he was going to do.
He planned on creating something so powerful that he wouldn't need to fear anything. So following through with his plan, he flew towards the lake at the bottom of the cavern.
Standing over it, he placed his hands in front of him and took a deep breath.
With all his strength, he harnessed the most powerful energy inside of the lake, Magicka, and used it to wrap around all the other energies.
When he had used the Magicka to encompass all the energies, he lifted up the thick solution up to him, a huge mass of condensed energy that he had accidently created, floating in front of him.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
The pure heat emitting off the energies repeatedly burned Amon, but thanks to all of his abilities, he was having trouble dying.
Ignoring that fact, he compressed the energies even further, shrinking it in size and at the same time, using [All Fusion].
His targets for the fusion were of course the multitude of nigh-incontrollable energies, and the gem in his own arm. And with the two ingredients, he added one more, which was his very own existence.
The last part was being done purely through luck, as he wasn't completely sure if [All Fusion] would be able to combine concepts and reality. But that's where [All Adaptability] came in.
"ARGGHHGH!!" Amon screamed as the energies flew into the gem, and the gem sunk into his body.
'LIVE!' He screamed in his mind, wishing for his ability to bring the process to a complete success. He wished for a perfect fusion, a fusion where he gained even more than he planned on.
Of course, his plan succeeded.
*BOOM!*
Amon's body exploded and he was knocked unconscious, losing his footing in space and falling into the whole under him.
He wouldn't wake up for a few days, but when he did, he would gain a new ability that would make all others bow to him asking for the same.
...
----------------------------------------
...
Amon awoke to a dark ceiling. The removal of the energies had resulted in the dimming of the light in the cavern and he was currently laying in that same, dark cave.
He slowly lifted up his arm with fuzzy thoughts and examined it. Under his skin was the very same gem from before, but he felt even more power coming from it.
Staring into the crystal for a few moments, he was going to try and access his display when it suddenly opened on its own.
-{Congratulations! You've succeeded in awakening the [Uendelig Arc of A]!}-
{New skill created, [Peer]!}-
The two small Purple screens startled Amon, but he didn't have time to recover.
-{As you have created it, you can open the [Uendelig Arc] by saying "Arc, Full Expansion". You could also say "Arc, Open" for a smaller tab that only displays your skills and currents status.}-
Seeing the slightly bigger screen that replaced the previous two pop up, Amon removed himself from his stupor as fast as he could and pushed himself off the ground.
He stood at the bottom of the pit looking the screen in front of him, in pure awe.
"YEAH!!" He screamed, throwing his fist into the air.
But he calmed himself down, concealing his incredible excitement.
"Arc, Full Expansion." He said.
His eyes turned white, a grid like layer appearing and spreading out. All objects and everything around him became detail-less and black, only having a white outline which allowed him to still see things in the background.
Before him, appeared a replica of himself with multiple panels surrounding it. He looked at a panel in the fore front and smiled.
== < Amon the Powerful > == Species: Cosmic Ahkaiyan Godking Health Points (HP): 804,000 (∞) Magicka: ∞ Mana: ∞ < Vitality: 8,040 (∞) > < Strength: 7,803 (∞) > < Agility: 7,917 (∞) > < Sense: 93 > < Luck: 16 > < Charisma: 51 > < Power: 0 > Points: 0 Skill(s): Peer (F), Calm Mind (E) Extra Skill(s): Pain Nullification (C) Ultimate Skill(s): Death Resistance (C), Infinite Regeneration (B), Mental Defense (S) Absolute Skill(s): All Fusion (A), Creation (S), Corporeal Perfection (A), Mental Control (A), Point Conversion Uendelig Skill(s): All Adaptability (AEON) Title(s): Inventor, False God, Universe Traveler Equipment: Cosmic Arc (Soul Bound)
"AHAHA!!" Amon burst out into laughter, overwhelmed with happiness. He was aiming to create a system like those back in his home world but even more incredible. Seeing that he succeeded, he was extremely happy.
And the fact that this was only one of the many functions of the new artifact made him even happier.
He swiftly rearranged the tab with his hands and brought multiple others forward.
-{Map}-
-{Codex}-
-{Search}-
-{Lower Arc}-
-{Inventory}-
...
...
There were so many different tabs, that Amon knew it would take an infinite amount of time to go through them all.
And he was satisfied with just seeing the perfection he managed to create, he didn't need to explore every single inch of his system, since he new he would eventually discover it all.
But he did scour through one of the main abilities he implanted in this artifact.
-{Lower Arc}-
He clicked on it and looked through the tab. In this one area, he could do many things, ranging from generating lower tiered artifacts called Arcs, to implanting them into others, to even being able to watch anyone with an Arc.
Their was an endless amount of options, and seeing some of them, Amon smiled. Full of contempt, he closed the screen and looked towards the ceiling of the cavern.
He tapped into his [Spatial Energy] and teleported to the surface.
-{New skill created! [Teleport (B)].}-
A faint and non distracting screen appeared in his sights, but it quickly disappeared.
Appearing on the surface and floating in front of Adam who was resting in a puddle of his own sweat, Amon smiled.
"Oh your back!" Adam said, jumping to his feet and greeting Amon.
"How long was I gone?" Amon asked, floating down to the ground.
"Uhh... about 4 days." Adam responded, taking a few seconds as he had to think. "And you've changed quite a bit..." He said, making Amon slightly confused.
He raised his hand and used his newfound skill [Creation]. He powered it with Magicka and created a regal mirror.
It quickly appeared in his hand, and he used it to examine himself.
"I see..." He murmured, looking at the completely different figure in the mirror.
He had grown long black hair, and boundless pure white eyes. Atop his head were two golden horns that curved upwards, and his skin tone had darkened significantly, nearly matching that of his hair. There were gold markings all over his body, stemming from the crystal within his forearm.
He had grown to nearly 3 meters tall, and as of now, he stood nude in front of Adam.
"..." Admiring his new form, Amon quickly conjured martial artist trousers and shaped a story in his mind, and let it flow from his mouth.
"My apologies, It escaped my mind." He started. "This is my natural form you see, but I was originally too fatigued from my eons of sleep to be able to use it stably." He said, earning a slow nod from Adam.
"Anyway, I've come to tell you that well be venturing out of Atreus today." Amon explained.
"Atreus?" Adam tilted his head while asking the question.
"The spatial domain you two reside in? That is his name for this little space." An ear grating, multilayered voice resounded within the two's ears.
Amon turned his head, fear sinking deep into his heart as Adam fell straight to his butt.
"Amon? It's a pleasure meeting you. I have things I would like to discuss with you. I think it would be in your best interest, but be not afraid. I do not wish you harm, nor foul."
Amon gulped, his mind running at a thousand miles an hour.
'Arc, Expansion.' He whispered mentally, thousands of tabs popping up in his vision as he navigated them all.
"I see you have created quite the powerful artifact. A nearly perfect replica of my creation, that you formulated from merely the concepts in your mind, and a weak knock-off variant."
"You truly are the one that I seek." A thick, white smile appeared on the abstract entity's face, Amon's brain nearly frying...
