Fire, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, lightning, ice, nature, poison, time, space.
These are most of the affinities widely known throughout every dimension, without naming the uncountable sub-affinities like gravity, which is a subcategory of the space affinity.
In the second week since he began his cultivation marathon through the third order, Osiris finally managed to break through to mid third order, causing a chain reaction within his body.
He began to be able sense his own elemental affinity with the refinement of his already very pure and powerful bloodline.
However Osiris was amazed at what he felt, for it seemed as though this occurrence is unprecedented even within his inheritance, which is essentially an accumulation of generation after generation of dragons.
He seemed to have an elemental affinity with ALL the elements, which is absolutely unheard of since even the most rare genius prodigies born within any race would at most have around 3-4 affinities of varying degrees.
For instance, an average red fire dragon would inherit a high affinity with fire due to its heritage, while other factors such as if its parents were of two different breeds of dragon and so on would determine a chance of getting a second or third low affinity.
And it had to be noted, certain mana can only be wielded by those with an affinity for it.
For example, a being with a fire and water affinity can only manipulate and use spells with the fire and water mana attribute.
A being with an earth affinity can't ever use a spell or manipulate mana of the wind or light affinity.
So upon feeling that he had an affinity for every element, Osiris was as bewildered as he was ecstatic.
Osiris knew that all affinities had their opposite weaknesses, and that beings almost always put their effort into ways that could compensate for that weakness.
But with his newfound knowledge, threw all of his worries about what affinity he would get and all the possible weaknesses out of his mind, and replaced them with future ways he could dominate reality.
Though not everything was perfect, since Osiris knew the way through the mana realm would take much more effort and time, it would only be a minor inconvenience compared to the power it would bring in the long run.
To make it past the third order and break into the fourth order, every race and being would have a different way to advance.
For example, humans would take mana and form a dantain within their body to store and use for various purposes.
Dragons on the other hand, would take mana and fuse it within their chest, forming a second heart known as the 'dragon's heart'.
The downside of having an affinity with all elements, would be because to form a dantain or dragon heart, beings must use the mana of their respective affinities equally to form them.
And since certain places or treasure could contain an abundance of certain mana, they could speed up their cultivation by many times.
Like if someone with a fire affinity cultivates near, or even inside of, a volcano, their speed of cultivation would skyrocket compared to just absorbing ambient mana.
However since Osiris had affinities for extremely rare elements like time, special areas or treasures with abundant time mana within them would be very rare if not nonexistent within this trial galaxy that the dragon race created.
Forcing him to slowly siphon the mana, like time, through the ambient mana that flowed throughout the galaxy, which would slow his cultivation speed.
But Osiris had nothing but time, around 99,000 years to be exact, before he stepped onto the true stage that came after this trial.
Osiris always took this trial very seriously with every move he made, except his wives which was a happy accident, but deep down he knew that this wasn't where the real battle was.
The real battle being the main plain, which housed all the strongest beings and true gods within, affecting all the lower worlds and reality as we know it.
This trial was akin to school for children, a place and time to find yourself and figure out who you're truly meant to become, before stepping out and begin to work towards your dream.
And for Osiris, he was going to use this time to its fullest and become as strong as possible, before having to step into a world that could truly hurt him.
Another effect of his rise in cultivation through the third order and refinement of his bloodline, was that Osiris scales began to change.
If one looked closely and inspected each and every individual scale on his body, one would notice the color of his scales looked as though they each contain a galaxy or universe within.
It's mostly black color being subtlety dotted with hues of every color imaginable.
Osiris found his new transformations beautiful, giving his demonic black look a depth of celestial touch.
And his wives would agree when he would take them out on flights into the afternoon sky, a pastime they had come to partake in and enjoy with each other when he had free time to come home.
Ever since he had taken them on their first flight, they would take every chance they could when Osiris was with them to go and watch the sky.
And they weren't the only ones who enjoyed it, since hearing the happy sounds of his wives, as well as just spending time with them, made Osiris feel a neverending joy that he could never get enough of.
Every moment spent with them reinforced his will to become stronger, resolute in his already firm will to conquer all and rule, but with the presence of his wives and companions by his side.
Companions such as Adam, who Osiris thought highly of not because he was just Eris and Arias brother, but because he was also a prodigy with a sword.
Every day since going out and watching Osiris fight, Adam seemed to have begun catching sight of his own path.
