"Yes."
"World System - Download of required magicubes successful. Imposing template and updating detailed description of magic skills." The information downloaded slowly funneling into my brain and creating a pop up in my iris.

Overview:
1. (Overlord Magic - Chronos) is a time bending magic that alters the physical body controlling the vibrations of the atoms.
Dios - the acceleration causes the vibrating atoms to supercharge and produce twice the energy output.
Fora - the time reversal, displaces the atoms fixed location and move them to a previous path taken in the subspace. Hence reversing all energy and atoms to a state of equilibrium.
2. (Overlord Magic - Aeon) is a powerful domination magic that overrides all magic and explodes in waves condensed with time magic particles. The spread is instantaneous, and its range envelops the entire universe.
When atoms come in contact with these particles, the energy vibrating in them are absorbed completely and left in a stationary state frozen in place.
3. (Overlord Magic - Kairos) is a space time creation magic, that weaves the time magic particles into shapes and manipulates the passage of time of the atoms in the space created by the user. The affected atoms will experience degeneration, revitalization or stasis depending on the type created.
4. (Overlord Magic - Attis) is a duplication magic, that copies the user's magicubes and atoms and creates a singularity point, a pocket dimension in time which stores the atoms and magicubes like a server. In the event of death, the soul is transported back to the pocket dimension, body recreated and assimilated back into the timeline.

With a confident smile, I glared towards the Nemean Lion and relived all the pain and suffering it gave me, "Now I'm ready, let's have some fun." With one arm stretched out with palm facing the Nemean Lion.
"Space Time Creation magic - Kairos, forge stasis cube!" Instinctively the beast began maneuvering around trying not to get caught, narrowly avoiding all the sub space cubes appearing all over the area. Leaving a trail of stasis cubes, behind its path.
So, I created a 16 x 16 cube, starting with its corners spread over a large area, then created its adjoining lines to each corner.
After Boxing the Nemean Lion within this open space, then fully created all 6 walls and immediately shrank the box until it fully engulfed and trapped it.
"You might be impervious to damage, so I'll save that special cube for another time, but no one is impervious to the passage of time, Creation magic -Kairos forge Deterioration Cube!"
Wanting to keep the good parts of the Nemean Lion, I boxed its lower half in the deterioration cube and watched as a million years passed in an instant, withering its body and leaving only dust behind.
Calling off the stasis to gratifyingly watch as the intense shock threw the Nemean Lion in a spasm foaming in the mouth, tears being forced out its eyes. With most of its body parts gone it writhed on the ground with its remaining two paws hopelessly failing before it died.
"Ping!...World System - Legendary Nemean Lion Slayed, Item drop received, Lion skull, Impenetrable Lion pelt, golden fleece, obsidian claws, obsidian fangs and Lion's Heart."
"All inedible but great items to create weapons and armor, with only the exception of the Nemean lion's heart."
"No time to leisurely cook this heart, I got to consume it raw then...itadakismu?" Gripping the fresh warm heart in my hand, I took a big juicy bite out of it like a freshly picked apple. Blood pouring into my throat as I meticulously chewed the dense and tough meat before swallowing.
Immense pain flared all over my body, crippling me like a heart attack as I rolled on the ground gasping for air.
"Ping status updated!" My hair started bleaching out and became pure snow white for an instant similar to the Nemean Lion's fur, before reverting back to normal.

Even more confident in my newfound strength, I felt I could defeat anyone and everyone, and that no one was my equal. To ensure my progress was permanent I casted Attis and made a new save point before continuing down the maze.
Near the exit, I cautiously peeked around the corner. The place was beautifully serene and quiet spanning an area twice the size of the colosseum, with a giant oak tree filled with golden apples its center.
At the south gate opposite mine, Prince Midas had just arrived in the location as well. Walking with poise and grace unaffected by the monsters he encountered on his way here, as if safely walking in his own personal garden.
Matching each other's gaze, gently smiled and began walking towards each other wishing to courteously congratulate on each other making it to the end. Putting on an origami hand glove reaching for a handshake, a Humanoid Bull appeared instantly behind him horns at the ready about to gore him from behind.
"Midas Look Out!" Without missing a beat, he catches the Bull by the horns with one hand stopping its movement entirely without being pushed back, as if holding a piece of paper against the wall. In a look of surprise and curiosity and uneasiness, I looked at Midas incredulously and asked.
"How are you doing this... this humanoid beast is the Legendary Creten Bull protector of the Great labyrinth of Daedalus."

Maintaining his royal demeanor, smiles and opens his palm showing a dense magical glow from his God Sigil, having one in each palm. I knew he was powerful but never thought to be this powerful.
"This is the curse of the royal family, every generation in a period of 100 years one descendent will be born with this curse, while being birthed it is unavoidable for his/her mother to be turned into solid gold, forever immortalized in pain and fear."
"Cursed ones are often killed immediately upon birth to prevent greater tragedy, but the kingdom was going through a tough period with crops withering from unforgiving climates which includes long periods of drought and having farmlands ravaged by diseases."
"Taking this into account the current King decreed to spare my life and used my abilities to create an economy for trade with neighboring countries for necessities, eventually after a decade or 2 the kingdom was more prosperous than ever."
Gingerly letting go of the horns of the Creten Bull, it fell onto the ground from its weight and momentum and began glowing, immediately become casted in pure solid gold starting from the horns. Immortalizing the Legendary beast into an artistic sculpture crying for help.
Swallowing hard, I knew this man should not be made an enemy and never to be taken lightly. All that sheer power and upgrade I received seems to be meaningless against the unrivalled power of Midas's touch, with the ability to easily stop a force even greater than the Nemean Lion.
