Chapter 131 129: A Familiar Place



"Which one should I choose?"

Corey mumbled while stroking his chin as he looked at the list of choices before him.

"Although the description of the skills are not given, I can make my own guesses on the abilities of the skills."

"Eyes of Omniscience should also mean all-knowing eyes, I think.

If I choose it, does it mean that I would be understand the things I see?"

Corey scratched his head with a slightly frustrated expression since he could not put his hypothesis of the 'Eyes of Omniscience' skill into words properly.

"Ears of Omniscience should mean that I would be able to understand whatever I hear?"

Corey mumbled while still scratching his head with an unsure expression and tone.

"Tongue of Omniscience should mean that people would understand whatever I say?

Possibly when or if I'm teaching somebody?"

Corey had an extremely perplexed expression as he looked at the skill for a few seconds. His eyes then moved to the next skill, Heart of Omniscience, and he became more confused as he read the name of the skill.

"I don't even have an idea of what this skill could do."

Corey muttered but then an idea came to his mind.

"Would I be able to understand people's hearts or would I have a heart that can understand people?"

Corey scratched his head once again then he released a sigh and looked at the next skill, Breath of Omniscience.

"Now for this skill, I truly don't have an idea of what it could do."

"Would I be able to unleash a breath of knowledge, wisdom or understanding to people?"

"This is so confusing. I wish the Universal System provided me with the descriptions of the skills."

Corey scratched his head with a frustrated expression then he released a sigh and his brows furrowed deeply for a few seconds.

"I should probably go with something that I have an idea of what it could do."

Corey paused then he spoke once more.

"I choose Eyes of Omniscience."

A second after Corey spoke, the words on the translucent screen changed.

[EYES OF OMNISCIENCE HAS BEEN CHOSEN]

[PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE FUTURE, YOU WOULD NOT BE GIVEN THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE ONE OF THE SKILLS AGAIN]

[THE SKILLS WOULD BE RANDOMLY GIVEN TO YOU]

[BEGINNING THE PROCESS OF INFUSION OF THE SKILL, EYES OF OMNISCIENCE]

[PLEASE WAIT AND ENDURE]

"I can't choose in the future again?

It would be randomly given to me?"

Corey frowned deeply as he read the sentences on the translucent screen.

'Could it be that the Universal System wants to punish me for all the times I cursed at it?'

Corey thought with a slight furrow of his brows then he released a sigh.

"My stupid fake self."

Corey mumbled and just as he did, his vision spun and in less than a fraction of a second, he found himself in a place he had been to.

The space-like environment where he saw the titanic black bird with three pairs of wings after making Rhea his pet.

With his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the numerous star like and planet like objects in the distance.

He turned around, wanting to see if the titanic black bird was still here but when he did, all he saw was the extremely large white star with thick chains all around it.

Just as Corey glanced at the white star, one of the chains broke and in the next instant, it transformed into white particles of light and flew towards Corey.

Corey frowned slightly and he wanted to move, dodging this unknown light but when he tried to move, he realized he could not.

He could not move a single muscle.

Corey frowned deeply and just as he did, his pupils constricted when he noticed that the white particles were just a meter away from him.

In a fraction of a second, the white particles of light appeared before Corey and flew towards his eyes.

A second after it flew into his eyes, Corey felt his body become calm and he felt a soothing feeling emerge from his eyes.

Unknown to Corey, his eyes started to change.

His pupils were disappearing and only his white sclera was left.

His eyes were becoming pure white just like whenever he entered his Focused State while using his health as the energy source.

It was like all the dirty, all the impurities in Corey's eyes were disappearing as the seconds went by.

Around fifteen seconds went by and the soothing feeling that Corey felt disappeared.

Not only that, Corey's pure white eyes went back to his normal looking eyes.

Corey blinked and just as he did, his environment changed back to that of the evolution center.

Corey looked around, wondering what just happened and where that place was.

"So many things I don't understand."

Corey sighed then looked at the door of the evolution center.

'Time to find a way to survive and escape this godforsaken place.'

Corey thought, then he took a step towards the door of the evolution center, but just as he took that step, something strange happened.

The ever-changing black substance that the Paragon Ancestor gave him which Corey placed in his spatial ring, appeared in front of him.

Corey frowned as he looked at the black substance, wondering what it wanted to do.

The reason why he had not used it yet was because he planned on observing it since the substance intrigued him.

He didn't believe that it was dangerous since if the Paragon Ancestor wanted to kill him, he could definitely do that in a heartbeat and if the Paragon Ancestor wanted to observe him, Corey knew he could not stop him.

As Corey was observing the ever-changing black substance, it moved towards Corey at a moderate speed.

Corey looked at the black substance, wondering what the black substance wanted to do.

He saw the black substance move towards the right side of his chest and when it touched him, the black substance became a thick viscous liquid and it covered Corey's body from his neck up till his feet.

Corey had an expression of intrigue as he looked at the liquid black substance. Just as he was wondering what the black substance wanted to do, a stream of information appeared in his mind.

Corey raised his brows and a few seconds later, the black substance changed and on Corey's feet were a pair of black and white sneakers.

On his legs were black baggy trousers and on his upper body was a short sleeved slim fitted black t-shirt that showed Corey's muscles.

'I used to make fun of Mat that he was just made out of muscles.

Now look at me, I'm also muscular.'

Corey thought, and just as he had this thought, a female voice resounded in his mind.

[Hello Corey Zane, I'm Nina. A Nano Machine created by Queen Mother]
