CHAPTER 222: 1000% VOID TEMPERING

"Alright, stop! It’s time to rest!"

"Huh? Rest?"

"Can we finally rest?"

"Yes. This time, I’ll give you a week to recuperate."

"A week of rest?!"

"Haha, a whole week? All hail the captain!"

"Sigh... I can finally feel human again..."

"Can we eat your food before leaving Boss?" William chimed in, missing Nash’s cooking.

Though the Nova Capital had tastier dishes, Nash’s food was still unique.

Realizing he hadn’t eaten such delicacies in over a year, William couldn’t help but salivate.

"Not now, but before we go to the Dark Plane, I’ll cook you a feast," Nash promised, letting out a sigh.

Since arriving at the Nova Capital, time seemed to speed by.

In over a year here, he could count the days he had a rest on one hand.

Swamped with urgent tasks, he barely had time to think about anything else.

Planning to eat a feast to unwind, Nash sighed and set the thought aside for now.

Having just created the void manual, he wanted to reach 1,000% tempering before relaxing.

With complex thoughts swirling in his mind, Nash quickly dismissed everyone and notified Camilla that he was heading to the Dark Plane.

Nova Shelter, Hollow Core Chamber:

Familiar with the place, Nash waited until a room opened up before entering.

Inside Room 10, Nash began his advancement.

Activating the [Training Module System] as he converted merits to void energy, he felt his body being squeezed from inside and out.

Like soul tempering, the additional void energy was used to quench the void energy already within him, making it stronger and more durable.

"Hiss... This is more painful than soul tempering," Nash frowned, retreating to the runic space.

Even with perfect control from the module system, tempering still hurt like hell.

Nash could only wonder what others had to endure, managing the pain while carefully controlling their void energy.

Since potions dulled the senses, most had to experience tempering in complete agony.

Grateful he didn’t need to face such torment, Nash watched his void tempering increase each second.

Now that he no longer needed to temper his body simultaneously, the process moved at lightning speed.

With nothing else to do, Nash began reviewing the twelve talents’ runic programs, recorded in the [Memory Module System].

"Hmm? Not bad. It should be enough to create a universal module system. It seems I no longer need to call them for additional training," Nash thought, scanning the dense runic program.

Compared to the runic program he recorded from Camilla, this data was about 30 times larger.

Opening the [Parallel Module System], Nash began to reassign each parallel consciousness’s responsibilities for his next task.

Creating a new, universal runic module system was no easy feat.

It would also set the benchmark for his future universal module system, so he couldn’t afford any errors.

After assigning and creating more parallel consciousnesses, the [Parallel Module System] underwent massive changes.

[Parallel Module System:

Main Consciousness: 11.6 million CP

1-100: Comprehension: 1 million CP

101-200: Reading Soul Manual: 1 million CP

201-300: Reading Void Manual: 1 million CP

301-400: Reading General Knowledge: 1 million CP

401-500: Runic Observation: 1 million CP

501-1000: Runic Program Comprehension: 5 million CP

1001-2000: Runic Space Recording: 10 million CP

Total Computation Power: 26.3 million CP]

After a month, his soul tempering had reached 8,776%, and with the additional soul saturation, his total computational power hit a staggering 26.3 million!

With such a large surplus, Nash was generous and multiplied each task’s capacity by ten.

He even assigned a thousand parallel consciousnesses to observe the runic commands in the runic space.

Before, Nash thought one was enough, but it merely recorded changes with low efficiency in identifying each runic command.

As a result, he hadn’t even identified a hundred thousand runic commands after all these months.

Compared to the millions it had to record, it was too slow.

To boost his efficiency, Nash even sacrificed most of his computational power from his main consciousness.

Anyway, having over ten million computational power was more than enough. More wouldn’t make his deductions any faster.

Computational power only handled calculations, analysis, and patching of information, not creation itself.

After having 10 million computational power, Nash felt his main consciousness hit a milestone, reaching its most efficient state. Any more would be a waste.

Lastly, assigning 5 million computational power to runic program comprehension was to aid him in creating the universal system.

While it handled the heavy work, Nash could focus on various creative tasks.

Soon, after setting everything up, time began to pass in a flash.

---

Three days later, Nash came to his senses, feeling his void energy reach 1,000% tempering.

Opening his runic panel, he couldn’t help but smile.

[Nash Navre:

Body Saturation: 9,000%

Body Tempering: 1,000%

Soul Saturation: 9,479%

Soul Tempering: 9,553%

Void Amplification: 109,000x

Soul Amplification: 296,069x

Physique: 100x

Runic System: 10]

"Tsk, so strong!" Nash clicked his tongue in amazement, staring at his panel.

Over a hundred thousand void amplification and nearly three hundred thousand soul amplification!

With such amplification, his raw combat power alone reached over 10 million, which was already comparable to most Void Generals!

Though it still didn’t match those seeded talents with combat power in the hundreds of millions, he was getting closer.

With his combat ability and the Tier 4 runic armor and weapon, defeating them shouldn’t be an issue.

Thinking back to when he first arrived at the Nova Sector as one of the weakest, Nash had turned things around in just over a year.

"Haha, such strength and power!" Nash smiled happily.

However, looking at his broken clothes, caused by the excessive power spike of void energy, Nash was a little embarrassed.

"It seems I need to visit the Dark Beast Tower to get used to my strength..."

Unlike his soul strength, which he could fully control in the runic space, the amplification from void energy was wild and untamed.

Nash also thought of recalibrating his module systems to adapt to his current power.

Though they were self-adjusting, they couldn’t handle a strength that had suddenly jumped tenfold!

Careful not to destroy anything, Nash stood up slowly as he wore his armor to shield his naked body.

Going outside, he offered his respects to the War Gods guarding the chamber and logged off the dark plane.

"Huh? This kid reached 1,000% void tempering in just a few days?"

"Tsk, these talents... Is the Nova Sector about to rise?"

Just a month ago, they were amazed watching Skylar go from Void Warrior to peak Void Commander in mere days.

Now another talent had emerged? Furthermore, by their calculations, this kid was slightly faster than Skylar, who possessed a time-based genetic ability.

"This generation is getting freakier and freakier..."
