The Empyreal Gem Master

The World he was in…was unfathomably small.

Alexander knew this the moment he first stepped into the void and looked out, looking at glittering stars in the far distance that looked just as small, even though they had their own weight.

But he didn't know just how small Ephesus was.

He closed the book that the Dark Ruler Masako had given him as he breathed out.

For the sake of simplicity, the nearby Void of Space could be segmented into regions that were hundreds of millions of miles vast- with three powers embroiled in these regions fighting for hegemony and resources!

Resources.

They could either be obtained from other Rulers, or Realms that were constantly born within these Sectors.

A newly emerging Realm, untouched by others, could hold enough Resources to raise multiple Void Rulers. There were even unique Realms that had Unique Gem Socket Blueprints, Covenant Gems, Ability Gems, and Support Ability Gems!

In the case of the Dark Ruler Masako, she had even stated that her Ability Gem came from a dying star.

Out there in the Void of Space, there were many unique things and oddities as there even existed special regions where Covenant Authorities coalesced into profound Gems that could grant one understanding and assimilation of powerful Covenants of Nature!

In such a place, three forces are dominant- the Star Alliance, the Dark Rule, and the Beast Alliance.

All sides held their own ambitions and worked differently, but the crux of their power lay in the Rulers they had under their banner.

Their core forces were those who had assimilated a Covenant of Nature and could roam the Void of Space- Void Rulers!

Above them were the entities that had assimilated with multiple Covenants of Nature and even successfully managed to fuse at least two- Stellar Rulers!

There were then the ruling powerhouses behind these three groups in these Sectors.

Entities that had exceeded the level of a Stellar Ruler.

No information was present for them in the booklet as Alexander would have to find out for himself as he increased his position in the Dark Rule.

What he needed to do now was prepare and be ready.

The Dark Ruler Masako had wiped out the Ambassadors of the Star Alliance as they would not leave something like this alone.

Even if she presented herself to be supremely powerful, he couldn't leave the livelihood of Ephesus in her hands as he himself had to be ready!

And this was where his own strength came in.

And at this moment, his strength was experiencing a surge of continued elevation from instantly grasping 9 new Covenants of Nature!

His constantly spinning Enneagram was releasing low hums as if it was an enhanced beast, its voice ringing out loudly at this moment.

||Multiple compatible Covenants of Nature have their authorities burning within the Enneagram.||

||The Covenants of the Soul, Body, and Origin have tremendously elevated the complexity of the Enneagram.||

||The Covenant of Destiny has unlocked a unique feature of the Enneagram.||

||All currently unlocked Core Features of the Enneagram have advanced by a single level.||

...!

That one sentence.

That one sentence caused Alexander's heart to beat faster as it affected far too many things!

||The Core Feature of The Reformer of the Enneagram has been unlocked to its Elder Stage. Under its renewed brilliance, every grasped Covenant of Nature increases your rate of Understanding and Assimilation of all Covenants of Nature by 500%. You can now begin fusing different qualities of Covenants of Nature at a rate of understanding that has not been quantified due to insufficient data.||

||The Core Feature of The Individualist of the Enneagram has been unlocked to its Adult Stage. Under its brilliance, you can form Four Enneagram Clones of yourself that express 175% of your total power. Your Clones can now independently cultivate different or the same Covenant of Nature, and their rates of progression are additive to the main body.||n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

…!

Everything slowed down.

DUM!

The Enneagram Clone of Alexander placed his hand on his chest as he felt the faint beat of his own heart.

What?

Four total Enneagram Clones? Each one could understand or assimilate Covenants of nature simultaneously to add percentages that stacked on top of each other?!

This was in addition to the rate of understanding and assimilation being increased to 500% for each Covenant of Nature!

All 16 Covenant of Nature he now held…granted an 8,000% increased rate of understanding and assimilation.

"..."

His throat felt dry.

He was speechless as his heart began to burn with excitement!

He wanted to roar and ask- what else was there from this advancement?!

||The Core Feature of The Investigator of the Enneagram has been unlocked to its Adult Stage. Under its brilliance, through currently available authorities of the Covenants of Nature, information that could possibly relate to you is being gathered in the surrounding 1 million miles of distance. The extent and nature of information has become even more accurate in value, with a Map naturally formed of all relevant things in a 1 million mile range. Additionally, the Covenant of Destiny has gone to further elevate this core feature as it can occasionally perceive future possibilities of boons or calamity.||

||The Core Feature of the Challenger of the Enneagram has been unlocked to its Juvenile Stage. Under its brilliance, any enemy that has had their life force depleted by you below 20% will be stripped of their very existence and turned into Ascendant Nine Star Gem Panaceas.||

There were far too many boons, and this was only the beginning.

Bur Alexander wanted to put what he already had into practice as his Enneagram Clone…began to radiate a golden radiance that shot out to begin forming another Enneagram Clone!

The versatility of what he could do had greatly increased since the core feature kept on being upgraded.

And as this was occurring, the Enneagram Clone sat in a meditative position in the skies surrounded by gray mist as he began to focus on the Covenant of Evolution. Explore more stories at empire

On assimilating it!

With an utterly ridiculous percentage of assimilation in addition to other clones being able to join in the same process…just how long would he need to completely assimilate a covenant of nature?!
