Chapter 197: Ultimate!

Tertiary? Miles asked in surprise. There were four main branches and the body was Merlins one of the minor choices, yet he was still able to form claws out of thin air.

My secondary branch is Mind. Which I will be explaining now.

Mind means brainpower. This branch allows you to strengthen your mind and use it to do unbelievable things. After he said that, the can in front of Merlin started to float in the air. Its movements were crude and it was wobbling, but it was floating nonetheless.

Telekinesis is just one form of this branch. Mental abilities can be sorted under this branch, but its limits still haven't been fully discovered. As soon as Merlin finished saying that, he vanished from where he was sitting. Miles looked at the small room in fright and failed to discover Merlin before he appeared once again.

That was the illusion sub-branch. I fooled your perception to make you believe I vanished from where I was sitting. You couldnt see, hear, smell or even touch me.

The mind branch is one of the most powerful and mysterious branches. Thanks to mother's passive powers, I was able to master this branch as fast as I could the Heart branch. Merlin explained. When he saw a question forming in Miless mind, he answered unhesitatingly. Superpowers are the base of our mastery over the branches. Although we can choose which branch we are going to master, our affinities over them vary.

The most suitable branch for me is Heart so if I try to master it, it will be easier for me to learn it. But my body is my weak point, so I am worse at it.

Father has the primary Body Branch, so does grandpa.

What about forming a seed? Miles asked. This was his original question, but since Merlin explained so much, it meant it was related.

People can choose their primary branches. Your superpower and talent decide which branch you are most excelled at but your will decides your primary. When you break the shackles of Grace-Rank, the energy will condense into a seed formed in your body. It will be the source of your future powers and lifeline. Damaging the seed or destroying it is akin to destroying a persons power. We believe the monster cores or orbs are seeds of monsters too.

When you condense the energy in your body, it will flow into one of the three directions. If the seed forms on the right side of your chest, it means your main branch is the Heart. If it forms in one of your limbs, it means your primary branch is Body, and if it forms in your brain, then you are Mind primed. Merlin showed three parts of the body.

What about the fourth one, mystic? Miles couldnt help but ask, but Merlins smile answered his question.

There is no Mystic seed. No human ever formed one. We still dont know why, it is just like its name. Mystic! Merlins answer all Miles could learn for the time being.

What are the advantages of forming cores and mastering other forms, then? Miles couldnt help but ask. What we do with energy is a form of technique so choosing a branch to master seems redundant.

That is the million-dollar question, brother. Merlin smiled mysteriously and a silhouette appeared behind him. It was too vague, but Miles could see it clearly. Before it could appear completely, it vanished. Merlin gasped and sweats of bullets poured down from his forehead.

What was that? Miles looked behind Merlin with his eyes wide open. The phantom-like thing behind Merlin gave him unexplainable pressure.

That, brother, was an Ultimate, Merlin smirked smugly although he looked battered.
