[Detect that the boss has been defeated.]
[100,000x10 (+500,000) exp received.]
Temporarily ignoring the last notification, William had some doubts about the first notification:
"System, how can the update be so fast?" The last one had required 3 days as well as the disconnection of all its users. "
[The soul power of all users is mobilized during a system update, yet the soul power currently gathered can be characterized as monstrous in human terms, hence such an update speed system becomes possible.]
"As I thought, I have no choice but to integrate as many humans as possible into the system, I wonder if non-human races can also become users? William confided silently in his heart, before quickly moving on. After all, the Zaran were the mortal enemies of humans, and William had no intention of increasing the strength of the enemies of humans.
"Let's see what kind of monster Arthur was able to defeat." William thought as he moved right next to where the skeletal mage had landed.
William simply thought about acquiring the soul and a small black ball came out of the skeleton in the next moment to join William's shadow.
"System, show the status of the skeleton mage." "
[Order received, displaying the status of the skeleton mage.]

Tip: Once emperor of the human race during antiquity, Kent Zerafie had fought in the 4 corners of the universe and through fire and blood, he had succeeded in obtaining a position for the human race at the center of the universe . Thanks to his extraordinary strength, Kent was also in the top 3 of the greatest powers in the universe, and thanks in large part to him, the human race had been propelled to 9th position in the ranking of the 10 strongest species. of the universe. (Only the Soul King can read this information.)
"Holy shit. This guy really is a monster. This time William couldn't help but be impressed. After all, this guy had accomplished in his life the goal that William had set for himself!
"System, why did Kent have a middle name?" »For this aspect, William was really suspicious, he had never heard of a person with 2 first names, either within the human race or in a foreign race. "
[Response to the host, according to the customs of the universe, people with extraordinary strength, as well as their descendants, are given a middle name that is called last name, so that it does not matter race, if an individual attacks those individuals with a surname. He will then suffer serious reprisals from that person. Of course, a surname also grants various functions and privileges, not only in its own race, but also in the universe. However, the last name disappears when the person with extraordinary strength dies.]
"I see, from the information I now have access to, I can now be sure that the ranks can be sorted in ascending order: F, E, D, C, B, A, S and finally EX. Therefore, a last name must be granted as soon as an individual reaches the rank EX or that this one is a powerful genius at the rank S. Unfortunately, if humanity had such an individual it would be enough for him to sweep the whole galaxy. A-30 of the Zaran as well as the 3 other species that covet the A-30 galaxy. The human race would then not be in such a state. William sighed silently.
"I also don't know if there is a higher rank than the EX rank. "
The generals could notice their King's sad expression, but they left it alone, simply because they all knew that even if their King told them what worried him, there was nothing they could do with their pitiful strength. Indeed, although the D rank seems powerful, it was also very fragile within the universe and did not even allow to get out of the prison which is called the atmosphere.
William recovered quickly from his emotions. After all, he was no longer the weak he was before and hope was not lost because with his talent and the help of the system, the only one who could save the human race was him!
"I don't have time to mope, let's already examine the 2 items that the skeleton mage had. "William thought
"System, analyze for me the 2 objects that the skeleton mage was carrying. "
Black Coat (Mythic) (Damaged)
Active skills:
Invulnerability: 5 seconds of invulnerability will be granted under EX rank when the host's life is in danger. (CD: 8 hours.) (Currently unavailable)
Passive skills:

Hyper-flexibility: No matter the size of the host, the coat automatically adapts.

Dark Specter (Mythic) (Damaged)

Devastating Power: Potency of any kind is increased by 200% (2000% normally.)
Indestructible: Resistant to fire, water, swords, spears, no matter the attack, under rank EX this scepter is indestructible.
"…" William was momentarily silent.
"There is definitely a higher rank than the EX rank, otherwise these items wouldn't have been damaged, if there was nobody higher than the EX rank, then being in the top 3 of the greatest powers in the universe," Kent Zerafie should still be alive with his strength. While I don't know the details of the life expectancy of an EX rank, that of the S ranks is around a million years. William thought.
(Little historical lesson)
In human history, it is possible to distinguish 3 eras. The antiquity that occurred countless years ago was when the human race was at its peak. Then there was the mortal epoch which lasted only a very short time, at that time the energy was totally unavailable so no matter what the will, no energy strengthened the human body.
But humans had always succeeded, with their technology, in conquering their entire galaxy, which is also when they realized they were locked in a prison.
It was also at this time that the last epoch began, which began a million years ago and which continues today: The resurrection of spiritual energy or called the beginning of the end. Indeed, the galaxy A-30 was directly attacked after the energy seeped into the galaxy.
However, the force of the invaders has always been suppressed by a mysterious force, which is what has allowed humanity to survive until now. But 200,000 years ago, the mysterious force had disappeared, which led humanity to undergo the joint assault of a dozen S-ranks united by the Zarans and the 3 other species which are: The Jomis, the Revy as well as the Holf.
The human race also had a few S ranks around this time and thanks to the invaders' lack of unity within the breasts, humanity had managed to push them back so far.
It is also thanks to the facts that each of these species also had to defend itself against other races and that they had to be careful of surprise attacks that they could not mobilize all their power.
Otherwise humanity would have been annihilated a long time ago, but it would not hold out for long yet, because during these 200,000 years, the territory had been gradually eaten away by the invaders and only a dozen planets remained under hegemony. human.
(End of lesson)
"In the future I absolutely have to keep a low profile and never show all of my strength, otherwise, even with my talent and the help of the system, I will die very quickly. Of course at times this will be inevitable, otherwise other races will have plans on my human race, but at a minimum I have to keep a few assets to increase my chances of survival, because if I die then the human race will probably be wiped out shortly after. William promised himself, whispering.
William now felt more relaxed, with a clearer mind.
[The host already has martial arts mastery at rank (C) so mastery of all 4 elements will be automatically copied.]
"I almost forgot. William thought silently with a slight smile.
A flow of information appeared in William's consciousness, in a few seconds, his knowledge of the 4 elements was extremely deep, it is as if he was living an epiphany. Looking around, he felt like he was looking at a new world.
Indeed, the 4 elements, water, fire, air and earth are the 4 elements that make up the world, so although he could not understand all the mysteries of creation, he could see the tip of the iceberg.
Moreover, knowledge about the world was not the only one imparted, but also knowledge about the application of the elements in combat, and to his surprise, he had realized that without a talent for these elements, the use of these elements in combat would decrease by 80% overall!
So that meant that the emperor's power had been diminished countless times. Not to mention Arthur, even William might have lost if Kent had at least one talent in common in every element. And during his lifetime, he certainly had a talent countless times higher than the common rank.
Because without a corresponding talent, it was impossible that the emperor could have a mastery of 4 elements from rank (B) to rank (D-) since the talent accelerates the understanding of the elements.
So it's likely that not even 2 or 3% of his force was exerted, the rest being sealed due to his undead form.
"Now let's go down to the first floor to join our soldiers. William declared aloud.
"But there is still an army of skeletons charging us in the distance, King" declared Frederick, pointing to the army that accompanied the skeletal mage.
William looked briefly at the Skeleton Army a few hundred yards away. He briefly gathered mana in his sword, then made a horizontal hit.
To everyone's amazement, the sword energy grew as it moved away to finally cover the entire Skeleton Army.

William noticed that his experience bar had increased by about 1%.
"Can we go now?" William asked the generals.
"Yes, King! All the generals said in unison.
