Chapter 294 The Award Ceremony! Part-5.
An awakener's mentality, ambition, and talent all have a significant impact on their strength and maximum potential.
A person with low talent will find it difficult to dream too high, and without a big ambition, strength won't be on your side.
Without a proper mentality, you won't be able to find your 'Path' and may remain stuck without any progress for a long time.
Every path' has a destination.
An individual's 'Path' changes directions according to their skills, mentality, ambition, and talent.
Usually, it's nearly impossible to see the end of the 'Path' too early, but sometimes, when an 'Anomaly' happens, you can get a glimpse of that certain 'Destination' before you even reach it.
In legends and myths, some refer to it as the ultimate 'Destination' of your 'Path', and some say that it's the power to manipulate the 'Laws' of the world at the end of a 'Path'.
No matter the name, it is speculated that once you reach 'Destination' of your 'Path', you end up with a power so vast that even the universe itself seems to pale in front of you.
A power that can make even the demi-gods tremble in fear, a power that can be used to rule over a law of the world, can elevate a being to their supreme form of existence.
It is said that only one person ever achieved that power in this world, and that was King Allen Von Reinhart.
In the whole universe, there was no one after him or before him who had ever achieved that level of power.
The power that is extremely important if you want to ascend past the realm of a demi-god, a power whose absence became the reason why all demi-gods are unable to ascend higher,.
Only after reaching the end of your 'Path' and understanding the true 'Nature' of at least one 'Law' of the world can you achieve this power.
That power is called 'Divinity'.
...
[Ding! You have used the 'Blessing of the World Tree' as a medium for enhancement!]
[Ding! You already have a skill obtained from making a wish to an SS ranker!]
[Ding! The blessing will enhance the skill 'Concentration' as this wish is compatible with the previous one!]

'Sigh... I have improved so much. This panel once belonged to a weak student of the academy, and now... I have come a long way, it seems...'
After shaking his head, Rio glanced at the description of his newly acquired ability.
[Divinity: Imperfect Sword Heart]
[Description: The final destination of those who follow the way of sword.
The formation of a 'sword heart' symbolized that you have become one with the sword and have manifested the law of 'sword' into your own existence.
With just another push, this might be your final doorway to the realm of true divinity...]

'This thing is just too overpowered... How the heck did I end up getting something so broken all of a sudden...'
Rio came here thinking that he might get a strong skill or something, but who could have thought that he would get something so broken that even he would feel speechless.
Just by looking at the very first effect of this 'Sword Heart', you can tell that it's a broken power.
'Contentration' used to give Rio a two times boost in physical capabilities, but now this 'Sword Heart' that originated from 'Concentration' being upgraded will give him a 2.5 times boost.
Moreover, 'Sword Heart' is not a 'skill', it's a manifestation of a law directly into his body, which means he can keep this thing active for an indefinite amount of time without using any mana at all.
In other words, Rio's stats are permanently on '250' now... Those are the stats of an early SS-ranker.
This ability is so broken that Rio is already at the level of an early SS-ranker in terms of sheer stats.
Keep in mind that stats are just the base; genuine SS-rankers have insanely pure mana, and their body-strengthening techniques are hundreds of times better than Rio's.
So, if they use mana, their stats will be boosted much higher... which Rio can't do yet, but still... Rio is slowly catching up to them now; it won't be long...
