[ECHO]: 'Paradox' Comprehension has reached 100%

"I wonder if I reload and do it again... will I be able to abuse this?"

"That is probably a bad idea... my consciousness is now tied to my mysterious artifact... maybe I should destroy that as well? I wonder what is above mysterious!"

Zero felt invincible.

His body was now linked to his mysterious artifact.

His law 'Paradox' was tied to his mysterious artifact.

So if he reloaded.

It would retain 100% comprehension.

His Law Impulse was tied to his existence.

And his existence was tied to his mysterious artifact.

So it was the same.

He held out his hand and formed an 'Impulse' dao fruit.

"I have successfully broken through!"

But I've lost my independent consciousness.

He used his mysterious artifact to recreate his independent consciousness.

He gained something far superior from this venture.

He had gained a mysterious consciousness.

He still lacked a soul.

But he didn't need one.

So he decided not to make one for himself.

At least not a real one.

He made a fake ordinary soul for his body.

It would have no influence over his body though.

It was merely there to hide the fact that he lacked a soul.

He was already an immortal dao fruit cultivator after all.

Having a real soul was just adding an unneeded weakness to himself.

His body had formed a mysterious consciousness.

What did this mean?

It meant that is consciousness wasn't tied to this plane of existence at all.

He could abandon his body any time.

He could destroy it and reform it good as new.

It was even more advanced then his independent consciousness.

The only reason he made an independent consciousness was because he was used to his ability to manipulate data. He didn't wish to lose such an ability.

It wasn't needed at all though.

He could manipulate raw consciousness now, just like with his main body.

His mysterious artifact existed in the cosmic order.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

A place even a rank 9 would struggle to reach.

He had constructed a concept.

But he could tap into its power.

He recreated his sublime artifact to house in his independent consciousness.

Why stop at one?

He created a total of nine sublime artifacts.

He then hit the limit his independent consciousness could hold.

Each one was made of millions of artifacts.

His mysterious consciousness wasn't even a wave.

It existed in neither the abyss or any other realm.

It was a artifact rotating in the cosmic order.

His mysterious artifact had reached the highest stratum.

"Wow... it is quite powerful."

He used this artifact to restore his timeless existence.

He now had both a mysterious and and multiple sublime artifacts.

Technically... he was now basically a rank 8.

His TE limit had also increased.

It was due to him having more then one sublime artifact.

[ECHO]: {TE:1800000}

His mysterious artifact would also naturally recharge his sublime artifacts over time.

So he no longer needed to grind.

Although it would take about 417 days to refill completely on its own.

He could no longer grind it himself.

Since his body was copied to his mysterious artifact.

And his sublime artifacts had already approached the limit.

Zero had also unlocked a new ability from his mysterious artifact.

'Mysterious Presence'.

This was a completely broken ability.

He had become a constant across all time and space.

Every universe in this reality would no longer reject him.

It wouldn't reject him because he had become a constant in all time streams.

So instead of his cultivation collapsing if he entered a universe with a conflicting system.

It wouldn't reject him at all.

Now you might think that he would still lose his power over time due to the universe using different energy.

But you would be wrong.

His power and energy came from his laws.

What exactly was it that the law Paradox did?

It made it so his existence didn't conflict or degrade.

So the 'Paradox' Law would naturally generate the conditions and energy needed for ALL of Zero's power systems.

But it also made his existence even more special.

As long as the concept of paradox existed.

Zero would continue to exist.

So he could no longer die.

He could reform himself by using his Law of Paradox.

He could now exist in places that didn't.

He could now go places he could not.

His law 'Impulse' was quite special as well.

It gave him an extreme instinct.

So his body would naturally react to situations.

It gave him perfect action.

It was what he used to reconstruct his artifact.

Zero's body itself was now extremely special.

It had turned into dust.

He was using a completely new body.

It lacked his cultivation.

But the 'cells' were deified.

He had no cells.

His body was made of information.

His existence had went through a qualitative change.

But he had already stepped into immortal dao fruit.

So that didn't matter.

But his control over his body was also mysterious now.

Thanks to his 'mysterious presence'.

His body starting at immortal dao fruit was copied to his mysterious artifact.

So even if he used 'reload'.

His cultivation would carry over.

But this also meant that damage done to his dao fruit would carry over as well.

So 'Impulse' which was tied to his existence was his only real weakness.

He now just needed to become rank 9.

But the gap between rank 8 and rank 9 was huge.

But now nothing could stand in his way.

"I should check out the dao fruit of the emperor."

'Reload 2'.

"Save Point 2".

'Save Point 2'.

The emperor spoke:

"Save Point 2?"

The emperor then felt something insane.

"You!? You've already have broken through to immortal dao fruit? In a mere few minutes... that's impossible!"

Zero laughed:

"Meh, it was simply too easy! It took barely a drop of effort..."

"Now... show me your dao fruit!"

The emperor tried using his aura to press down on Zero.

"Kneel."

Zero didn't even use his artifact.

It felt like a light breeze.

Then Zero said:

"Kneel."

The emperor felt a breeze as well.

Zero then said:

"Hmm... I'm still weaker then quasi-rank 9."

"What?"

Zero then said:

"Temporal Transformation!"

'Temporal Transformation'.

Zero could now transform more then once.

Since while one artifact would become unstable.

He could just use another one of his stable ones.

The phantom of his real body appeared over him.

It was less phantom like.

It looked more real and clear.

"What are you?"

"I am Zero!"

The emperor tried using his law of order to attack Zero.

But Zero raised his hand caught the attack.

He then traced the attacks origin.

"I see... Order. That is the opposite of one of my main laws. It would make for a fine addition to my collection."

'Order' materialized in front of the emperor.

"How did yo-?"

Zero then held out his hand, and the fruit flew into it.

He was performing perfect action.

He took a bite.
