°•○● Table of Gods! - Chapter "43" -/ T
"Talent Development - Time Bending!" °•○●
Things were going well for Eren. The numbers surprised even him when he looked at the spiders every day. Right now the huge 1 acre lot was filled with too many spiders. Eren wanted to add a new Ligori Stone and some goblin blood every day.
He would have invested all his money in this business if he hadn't been in bad shape financially. But since he and Elena had his own food expenses, he didn't do anything new, except for a few ligores.
He had just woken up from three hours of sleep and checked out the spider farm.
"Breakfast time!"
"I'm coming daddy!"
His eyes were half-closed as the little vampire had just woken up. Eren wouldn't have believed it if anyone had told him that this small and harmless-looking girl was a deadly vampire at the third level of evolution. She was such a harmless, sweet and calm girl. She smiles at the smallest thing and she was very happy with the little attention Eren showed her.
At that moment, Eren wanted to summon other creatures like this girl.
*Vampire Maid - 1 Piece - 20,000 Z
While thinking about money matters, he bought two breakfasts for the price of 200 Z. He sat down with Elena and decided what he was going to do that day.
"You're with me today, Elena. We're going to have a special workout with you."
"Yuppii!"
Eren, who avoided Maevis's gaze on him until breakfast was over, reset the 4th floor directly and went inside. He cleared the entrances and proceeded without stopping to the first large room. Killed all monkeys, dogs, spiders and tiny robots. The size of this room was more than enough for them to practice.
Then he picked up the wooden training swords and looked at Elena.
"I want you to attack me with all your speed and strength. Hands are forbidden. We'll learn to use weapons."
The little girl nodded. She excitedly took the wooden sword in her hand. Eren was holding his sword with both hands, which were made of thick wood and weighed at least 2 kilograms. But she was holding it with one hand without any difficulty.
[Our basic genetic traits are all at the third level. Except for her stamina, we are alike in numbers. But she has a frightening amount of power. Because she's a vampire, she's very fast and has higher instincts than humans. Her genetic quality is larger than mine.]
While Eren was doing calculations in his head, he looked at the final form of his special ability from the com on his arm.
Dream Master - Ability Creation - Level 1 (Active - Used)
(Time Bending - 12% - Creation Process Depends on Dream Master)
[Time warp is at 12%. It was 11% just last night. So, the more I think about this ability, the closer it is to completion according to my design. Now I understand the sentence "The creation process depends on the Dream Master"]
Eren said "start" at the next moment.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a vague movement in front of him. Before he could prepare his body to defend, the little girl's sword was about to touch Eren's throat.
With the wooden sword in his hand, he looked at the sword that was getting close to his throat stupidly. He didn't have any time to show reflexes.
But the painful blow he expected did not strike him. Elena stopped her sword at the last moment and smiled at Eren.
"From now on you must attack me as if you wanted to kill me. Your father won't be strong enough if you don't take me seriously. You have to act like a vampire for my sake, Elena."
Eren knew that the little girl wasn't using all her speed or strength. And now that he was evolutionarily identical to the girl, he thought that the power gap between them was closing. But while the girl was a vampire, he was a worthless human being. Even if their genetic stats were similar, the difference in quality was still visible.
"Start."
This time, Eren couldn't even see a sword approaching his throat. Even before the hum of the voice in his mouth disappeared, he was struck in the chest. The little girl did not want to hit her father in the throat and hit a less painful place.
Eren was beaten continuously for the next hour.
Whenever he said "start" he would take a hit the next moment, or even if he defended, he would drop his sword on the second move. During that time, he also gave Elena ideas on how to use her fast body while he was constantly being beaten.
During this time, Elena kept getting stronger, while Eren remained the same. In the end, he fell to the ground with a blow to the back, and he was a little angry.
It was at the end of an hour, and Eren was starting to get more and more angry. But then something strange happened. Time slowed down just as he thought he'd be hit on his arm or chest again.
For the first time, Eren felt that his talent was working a little.
Then, despite his body's objections, he turned to the side with an impossible body movement. Eren blocked Elena's sword with his wooden sword. Just when he was about to counterattack, the time slow on him disappeared. And in the second move, he again took a blow to the head.
[Both my body and this ability work very well when fighting against real creatures. But right now I can't enter battle mode nor this stupid skill is working! What da f*ck is going on?]
Eren tried to use the same ability a few more times. But no matter what he did, he couldn't activate it. Then he saw the little vampire was finally running out of energy. Elena sat on the floor, panting.
"Elena, how many minutes do you have if you fight with all your strength and nonstop right now?"
"I think it's four minutes daddy. Then I'm out of battery. Hehe.."
The little girl laughed as she used a phrase she picked up from Eren. She loved the phrase "Battery Dying" and used it every chance she got.
"That's enough for today. We'll work again tomorrow."
..
During the rest of the day, they were busy with different jobs and Eren spent time sewing and crafting. From time to time he went to the Fourth floor to drink water and used the natural springs.
He felt thirsty again as his body and brain got a little tired. He entered the fourth floor as usual and walked to the point where he had been drinking water all day. But there he unexpectedly saw two dogs drinking water.
He decided to attack the dogs for some fun. And as soon as this thought occurred, his body began to warm up and his perceptions began to sharpen. He felt like a monster ready to fight and kill with all his might in seconds.
Moreover, the strangest thing was that when Eren went to the dogs, the dogs seemed to move slower than they were.
"So my guesses were wrong! This ability can be used when I'm seriously ready to fight. And this battle mode might even be part of the skill. Interesting..."
Eren cleared the rest of the fourth floor in no hurry for the next two hours. He constantly tested how he could bend time while killing creatures one by one.
He didn't learn much. But he was now certain that he could not influence time unless his body had a maximum desire to fight and kill.
"Maybe I can remove that handicap. And if I can manage to slow down time whenever I want, it will be much easier for me to clear the upper floors. As long as they can't hit me, no matter how magical or op monsters are, I can run through them."
Eren thoughtfully imagined more details for his talent.
"The ability should always give me the effect of slowing down time when unlocked. It should be usable wherever and however I am.
Secondly, my body must speed up so that I can better use the effects of time slowing effect.
Finally, my perceptions should not deteriorate as time slows down. I have to be able to react and move at high speed no matter what."
If I can create the talent with these three variables, I will be very powerful"
Eren returned to the Chamber of the Temple. Noticing that Maevis looked more normal, he walked over to her and greeted her. He had a little chat with Maev. Unlike in the morning, Maevis' eyes were calmer and warmer now.
Sometimes Eren thought this alien woman would attack and rape him. Moreover, he was right in his instincts and in his fear. Every time Maevis looked strange, the woman really wanted to force Eren to bed and possess him for days.
Eren didn't know. But the Maevis came from an intermediate race. And although this race had average good traits, it was called by a bad name in the Universe. Despite their slightly better traits than the entire medium, this race had something that prevented them from rising in the Federation. Just because of this trait, the entire Universe even gave her race a bad name as "Perverted Race".
Each individual of this race "heated up" like animals for half a day once a month and hormonally needed sexual intercourse. Its earliest ancestors were cousins to a long-extinct breed that reproduced and mated too much.
The breed of Maevis had the name "Nosol". Everyone of this race felt a huge need for sex once a month. During this time, low-level ones completely lost control, while those who were level 4 and above, like Maevis, were half insane.
At a random midnight every month, Maevis would lose almost all of her control and begin to yearn for the male creature she felt emotionally closest to.
Luckily, the woman's body clock triggered this need for mating at night, and nothing had happened while Eren was awake. And if Maevis weren't at an evolutionary level like 4.9, she would have already had Eren many times over.
The mental effort she spent each month in self-control and the pain she was unbelievable!
..
Yesterday, Maevis, whose desires were too high, watched Eren for a few hours while he slept. While Eren was messing around with the boards or cleaning the 4th floor, the woman tried to satisfy herself with her fingers from behind the bar table. But nothing lessened the desire she felt.
When the 12 hours were finally up and she felt normal again, even Eren felt the difference between Maevis in the morning and the afternoon.
"Hey Maev. I'm just speaking hypothetically. Suppose I have the ability to improve my sense of time and slow down everything around. Can I clear the 5th Floor of the Temple with my current body strength and a few helpers like Elena?"
Maevis thought for a while and then formed an imaginary scenario in her head. Then she looked at Eren with an unsure face and said "maybe".
"Thanks Maev." Eren happily thanked Maevis and got up and excitedly went to the bedroom to take a shower.
Afterwards, Maevis shouted even though she didn't understand the reason behind the question.
"I just said maybe! Don't be too happy. Besides..."
Bewildered, the blue-haired alien sniffed the sweaty scent Eren had left behind. Since Elena was already in her bedroom, she shyly lay across the table and sniffed the chair Eren was using.
"Don't be silly, Maev. Control yourself."
Her body was still sensitive under the influence of the last 12 hours. With a sad expression, she started to watch the hologram television that appeared on the side.
At that time, she had no idea that Eren was starting to make plans to enter the 5th floor. "Maybe" was very unlikely for Maevis and she would never risk her life. But for someone like Eren who wanted to go home, it was better than "impossible".
Imagination Master - Ability Creation - Level 1 (Active - Used)
(Time Bending - 22% - Creation Process Depends on the Imaginary)
Eren checked the com again before going to sleep. He saw an improvement from 11% to 22% in just one day.
It takes some time. But in just a few days, things will change. Even if the dumb superheroes on Earth were real, I'll have a talent they'd envy me for. Hahahaha....
..............................................
There are 5 days left until the Federation Ship with people from Earth arrives at the Temple!
