The six skills would release flying arcs all over the ce, without the need for me to move a muscle or the ive.


    The ive would release them like pulses, flying around for miles, before ending up in big explosions.


    The seventh, eighth, and ninth skills worked to control the enemies hit by my ive, mess with their energies in the seventh skill, move them around in the eighth skill, and absorb their energy dry at the ninth skill.


    The tenth was something that made me recall what my ive did before the Exomachines and I couldn''t get what happened.


    "A retro demotion skill… Quite fierce!"


    Anyone in this life would get to his current level of strength by training and climbing through their own paths of power and evolution.


    And my tenth ive skill yed on such an aspect, affecting those who got hit with such skill, making them walk down the paths they already crossed, getting much weaker like they were a few years ago.


    Thinking about that made me recall what happened to the Exomachines. If my ive could make them return back in their path of evolution, wasting years of effort, then it was logical for them to end up in such a stiff and malfunctioning state.


    It was like the ive turned them back into half finished products, unable to move or do anything, acting as if they were quite paralysed and dead.


    Learning about this made me instantly grow happy. That meant my precious faulted Exomachines didn''t get damaged, and they could be restored back to their prime form again.


    Damn! I now wanted to go back, give the research department these scary folks and let them study them now more thanter.


    "Tsk! I have to wait then and try to get more of these faulted Exomachines," I also prayed that my scary attack from before would also be the same.


    If so, then I could have all the Exomachines I wanted from the enemy, even after releasing my deadly pir''s shield offensive attacks without any worry.


    I waved my ive, and felt how little heavy it became. Soon I realised that it was great to just wield it without the need of any sacrifice.


    "Tsk! I grew used to holding it after boosting my strength, to the extent that I totally forgot about my past struggle to just lift it up," I couldn''t help but bitterly smile, while recalling those past memories of my failed attempts to wield it.


    I gained my ive at the same time I gained my chariot. But I had no way to use it except to let it fall down on the heads of my enemies like a meteor or something.


    It wasn''t until a long timeter that I upgraded my ss and gained that sacrificial abilities. With it, I could finally fulfil my dream to wield this weapon.


    So feeling it a little heavy now wasn''t an issue. I could easily lift, wave, and even jump while holding it. And that all happened without the need to boost any of my strength.


    "That reminds me… If I use my sacrifice now, what will be the result?" I wanted to test it, but my curiosity to check more of the newly evolved gears made me postpone such a thing for now.<novelnext></novelnext>


    I was going to boost my speed and my chariot''s speed as well soon anyway. So I''d also boost my strength and defence, see what changed in all of them.


    After checking my chariot''s and ive''s changes, it was time to check over my next most used artefact, the pir.


    The pir already got boosted before, and that made me not expect too much of it anyway. However…


    "Damn fierce! Damn! That''s… Epic!" When I read what that pir could do now, I couldn''t help but suck in the cold air of breath.


    The pir was able to form eternal shields, using the damage caused on it to sustain and repair itself. It also could release an attack based on the amount of energy stored, or the energy I''d pour into it using the pir.


    However that was in the past! Right now the pir changed its outer appearance, forming something like a glove that merged with my right arm.


    It could be separated, but as it was covering my right arm, I could use it while holding other artefacts in my hand.


    That was enough to make me thrilled! It was as if I got one more arm or something. But that wasn''t what made me feel this shock.


    The effects that pir had, the abilities that I could unleash from it were the true reason behind my reaction.


    The pir that could be used to defend and attack had many limitations. For example, I could only defend a certain area ofnd that was centred around my pir.


    At the same time, using more shields at the same time wouldn''t greatly affect the reach of the shield, only add more to its defence.


    I also met many situations where the shields of my pir would get suppressed. Just like the moments when I faced the brutal shield of the fiends protecting the portals.


    Another limitation was rted to the offensive part of the pir. I could only use the offensive attack outwards, not inwards. Not to mention my forces were also endangered by such an attack.


    All of this changed now!


    First, the shield summoned by my pir could be thrown anywhere as long as I keep it in my mind.


    That was something entirely different than before! I would just need to think about a ce, and as long as it was part of the same world I was in, that ce would have a shield appearing there!


    That was an entirely new world to me… I didn''t need now to run around like crazy, store ces and jump in between them to just use my shields.


    I would just need to visit a ce once, and I could use the shields at any of these ces.
