CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER332-BATCH GOD RANK SKILL

[Dark Void Domain], successfully synthesized![Coordinate Lock], successfully synthesized![Chaotic Consumable (Passive)], successfully synthesized!...

With a casual snap of his fingers, Daniel released the newly formed Dark Void Domain.

As the domain rapidly unfolded, the surrounding silver-rank monsters were caught within its expanding boundary. The instant the darkness enveloped them, their bodies began to fall apart, dissolving into fragments beyond their control.

It was eerily quiet—like sugar crystals slowly dissolving in warm water, melting bit by bit into nothingness. On the surface, it looked almost peaceful, even tranquil. Yet, in Daniel’s heart, a deep chill spread.

This power was terrifying.

Daniel had originally thought that the domain would serve primarily as an augmentation for himself—an enhancement to his own abilities. But the moment he saw the monsters reduced to nothingness in mere seconds, he realized he had underestimated it. Dark Void Domain was far more devastating than he could have imagined.

The speed of expansion quickened, rolling outward like a tide of annihilation. Wherever the field touched, silver-rank beasts melted away in a matter of heartbeats.

Meanwhile, thanks to the effects of Ode to Life, Daniel’s HP had already accumulated to an astronomical figure—beyond a trillion. In front of such vitality and resilience, the monsters posed no threat at all. Their claws and fangs could not even scratch his skin.

Raising his hand once more, Daniel activated another of his freshly obtained powers: Coordinate Lock.

The moment the skill triggered, though his body remained perfectly still, his mind power surged outward. Its effective range expanded a hundredfold in an instant. At the same time, Dark Void Domain ballooned to the same immense scale, blanketing the seafloor of the Storm Sea.

A single moment later, the result was catastrophic—an entire region of undersea life was obliterated. Countless creatures perished as if swept away by an invisible scythe.

Daniel’s strength had leapt forward yet again.

Satisfied, he summoned the Universal Gauntlet and tore open a portal. Beyond it lay the Undersea Forest Plane.

Stepping through the rift, Daniel immediately sensed the richness of elemental energy in the air. Wood element thrummed all around him, alive and potent, though subtly different from the wood element he was familiar with. Here, it carried a strange, almost alien quality.

Light returned to his vision as he emerged on the other side. A crisp notification flashed before his eyes:

[Congratulations. You have successfully completed all Reshaping Quests.]

Daniel did not move right away. Instead, he remained in place, keeping Coordinate Lock active. His mind power once again ballooned outward a hundredfold, allowing him to scan the area with incredible clarity.

He soon realized something important—Time Stream could be activated in this plane. That knowledge made him exhale in relief.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Tree of Faith in the Undersea Forest. With it acting as a spiritual bridge, he could employ Flashback to travel instantly to any location connected to the tree.

Only after securing these anchors did Daniel finally take the time to observe his surroundings carefully.

The environment was peculiar. Though still deep under the ocean, the seafloor was crowded with dense growths that resembled forests of trees. Strictly speaking, however, these might not even be plants. Their structure and aura felt foreign. Still, compared to the desolation of the Undead Lands or the distorted chaos of the Exile Plane, this realm seemed oddly normal, even familiar.

Yet Daniel’s instincts told him the "trees" here were not as simple as they appeared.

He activated the Eye of Insight—and his suspicions were confirmed. None of these towering forms had life. Not a spark. Even more bizarre, every single treetop pointed in the same direction, like countless arrows fixed upon a single target—the center of the plane.

Something powerful lurked there, he realized. Something vast enough that even lifeless structures were drawn toward it.

After a moment of contemplation, Daniel chose not to approach. Instead, he invoked Flashback and withdrew to the Myriad Races Continent. His true body reappeared inside the Tower of Reshaping, though his avatars continued their exploration within the Undersea Forest.

Inside the Tower of Reshaping, a new sequence of system messages awaited him:

[Congratulations. You have completed the Reshaping Quest.][Rewards are being distributed. Please wait...][You have received compensation rewards: Random God Rank Skills ×2.]

Daniel blinked in surprise.

Two God Rank Skills—just as a "compensation"? That was beyond generous. He couldn’t help but feel as though he had just struck gold.

The first reward appeared:

[Mixed Strike]Effect: You may combine multiple skills to create new effects. Note: certain unique combinations may result in especially interesting outcomes.

Daniel frowned slightly. The description was almost too simple. On the surface, it did not sound particularly powerful. "Is that all?" he murmured.

Still, curiosity burned in his mind. Perhaps it was worth a test.

He teleported to the Continent of Flesh and Blood, where hordes of abominations roamed endlessly. There, he activated Mixed Strike.

Instantly, his status bar shifted. Normally, activating one God Rank Skill would seal off the use of others until its effect ended. But under Mixed Strike, that restriction was gone. He could chain or overlap several skills at once.

Not all skills qualified, however. He quickly discovered that only offensive and augmentation-type abilities were accessible. More specialized powers—like Flashback or Time Stream—remained excluded.

But even so, the possibilities were staggering.

He tested with straightforward examples: Thunderfall Rampaging Shield, Meteor Arrow Rain. Both could be triggered simultaneously. Then he noticed something else—Mental Corruption appeared on the list as well.

His eyes lit up.

What if... what if Meteor Arrow Rain could be fused with Mental Corruption? Would that not create a long-range, wide-area psychic assault?

Daniel wasted no time. He combined the two under Mixed Strike.

The result blew past his expectations.

The density of the Meteor Arrow Rain multiplied tenfold. Each blazing projectile carried with it a wave of psychic contamination. The potency of the mental attack itself was magnified fivefold.

In other words, with nothing but this one God Rank Skill, Daniel’s actual combat performance had skyrocketed. His overall effectiveness had increased by nearly an order of magnitude.

And that was only the beginning. He could sense it: countless other combinations lay waiting to be discovered, each with its own hidden potential. The scope for experimentation was limitless.

The so-called "compensation reward" was, in truth, a monumental boon.

Suppressing his excitement, Daniel turned to examine the second God Rank Skill.

[Enchantment: Divine Flame]Effect: After activation, all of your attacks become imbued with divine fire. This damage applies as a percentage effect, functioning as a special attack modifier.

Compared to Mixed Strike, Divine Flame looked far more straightforward. It did not scream creativity or tactical depth. But that did not mean it was useless.

For Daniel, it was a reliable enhancer—a way to layer devastating elemental fire atop all of his existing arsenal. Any increase in his offensive output was welcome, and this skill guaranteed just that.

Daniel stood still for a while, letting the magnitude of the moment sink in.

Dark Void Domain, Coordinate Lock, Mixed Strike, Divine Flame... His arsenal of God Rank Skills had grown tremendously in a short time. Each was a pillar of unfathomable might, but together, they elevated him to a level that even he had not fully grasped yet.

And somewhere deep inside, Daniel knew: the true potential of Mixed Strike remained untapped. He had only scratched the surface.

What terrifying possibilities awaited once he began weaving together the entirety of his God Rank arsenal?

The thought alone made his heart race.
