Isekai Absolute Copy and Online Shopping - Chapter 178

Zen.

Mysterious natural soul energy that could only be manipulated by someone who was already reaching at least, a demigod level.

As a mortal soul(Ordinary) being tempered continuously by using magic or elemental energy( Which was basically level up), little by little it will start growing stronger before it solidified and started evolving to be an independent high-quality energy resource.

By nature, all the living being in the universe has a soul power since birth.

However, before it could be used as a very powerful independent energy, a process was needed to temper it from a fragile state( when they were just born) to a solid-state( Crystalize when they reach a certain rank, in a common case a Grandmaster level).

When the soul energy mentioned already reached a crystalize state, it’s needed to be tempered once again until it gradually became harder before being purified and more suitable to be used as a strong and pure independent energy resource.

Normally, all the powerhouse that reach the solid-state, will temper their crystalize soul by doing some meditation.

Strengthening, and clearing the soul crystal from any Impurities to be able to generate high-level pure energy in the future.

“Why meditation? Is there any scientific reason for it?”

Apparently, in ancient times, people found that by doing meditation, a living being can trigger a certain threshold in their sea of consciousness to entering a tranquil state.

At this tranquil state, it would be easier for the mentioned living being to get their soul getting purified and strengthened spiritually.

In short, the process of purifying a soul crystal needed the help of the spirit energy concept with it.

As spirit energy was seen as positive energy, it will be very useful to purify the soul crystal that was formed after being tempered by magic or elemental power( which was basically count as negative energy) to enter a balanced state.

Of course, it only sounded very simple in concept.

In the actual truth, this process usually took a very long time to achieve.

This long time here, count in centuries or even millennia.

That’s why most people tend to get spiritual energy through divinity rather than manually cultivated it tediously as the one explained in the beginning.

Aside from the shorter process, getting themselves divinity and ascended into godhood was brought other benefits as they basically evolved into a greater being( Immortal).

However, ascended into godhood could only be yearned by an ordinary mortal.

Only a certain person that has potential could be ascended to be one.

In this case, I was seemingly counted as one of them.

Although, I believe there’re secrets connected with my parent identity I didn’t know yet, that made me have this quality at the present.

Anyway, since I can be one, in the end, it’s a good thing and all to me so why should I make a fuss about it?

As for the problem that will come later as the price for me to get this strength, l can only think about it when the time has come.

Anyway, let’s back to the Zen power.

With the above reasons, that’s why, appropriately, the entrance for a living being could use Zen, was usually when they were already reaching a certain power level.

The minimum of it was a demigod level.

After elaborating all of the reasons, maybe you guys already get a glimpse at how the Immortal fighting their fight.

As you guys already know, when a certain living being ascended into godhood, they were all blessed with a ridiculous strength that couldn’t be shaken by any mortal.

These blessing I mentioned here was the God eyes, God strength, and God prestige.

All the living being that was ascended, will be guaranteed to get these set of innate abilities.

God’s eyes, the eyes that could perceive all skills, live, and detailed information to the thing that was seen.

It’s basically an advance appraisal to be short.

God’s strength, this innate ability will increase the power level of the god to reach the standard God level when activated.

So, if I take my power level in my status as an example, which was 1000(SS) or Demigod level to be exact, after activating this ability, my power level will increase to 10000(SSS) or God level.

“Wait, what the heck is power level? Where is the usual HP, MP, STR stuff?!”

I bet, there’s this thought inside your head when I speak about this new term right now.

As you guys already know, after ascended into godhood, the barometer in the mortal world already became useless to measure the god’s( Immortal) strength.

Thus, all of it gradually condensed and become a new measurement, and that is “Power Level”. (Author note : It’s over 9000!!!!!! *A certain vegetable prince meme, lol)

And for the last innate abilities, God Prestige.

This power will render any mortal to become strengthless and feel a great reverence in front of the God or Immortal.

Just count this thing as a kind of like NPC halo inside the game.

Just like the traditional RPG game, when you meet an NPC, they’re mostly invincible.

So, just think this power the same as some sort of that.

Having it means I became invulnerable toward all the mortal.

Huh? You guys asked about my other innate ability, “Thunder Overlord”?

Ah… about that, it’s quite a special innate ability I got after becoming a Thunder God.

Basically, I can manipulate thunder as I please and can travel anywhere through the sky by it with a blink.

Although I didn’t try it on the outside world yet, however, from the information I got, that’s basically what my power is.

Not only that, but apparently I also can summon a natural storm.

In short, all the natural thunder on the outside world basically has my will inside it.

However, this power turned out to only looked powerful in front of the mortal.

If I used it to engage in battle with another immortal, maybe I can use it as a way of increasing my movement to be more unpredictable and fluid, but if I want to use it to hurt them, it will not affect them a bit at all.

So… this ability is more like a tool for me to look more prestigious and cool as the God of thunder in front of the mortal.

Now, after I explained all of this, I believe you guys perceived something odd in it.

Back in the beginning,

“If all the gods have all this ability as a set, then, how can they be killed and fight to hurt each other?

By the look at it, all of them is invincible after all”

This is where Zen enter the limelight at how the Immortal fight between themselves.

And this is the reason, why, mastering Zen is very important.

As it was the highest-energy form that could even kill an immortal and severed their fate.

…. After you have the ability to use Zen properly, then it was the time you officially enter the world of Immortal and have your existence recognize as the true powerhouse that holds power in this Universe] * Gorgon

……

Hearing Gorgon’s explanation, I couldn’t help myself to feel speechless.

‘Did all the thing I’ve done considered as a tutorial before entering the true stage of this world?!!!’

Knowing this, I don’t know why but I feel like I want to scream and vent all the indescribable feelings that I felt at this moment.

Ignoring the lost expression plastered on my face, Gorgon proceeded with her explanation and started to draw a star-like symbol often found in a magic circle, or summoning ritual circle in a fiction story.

After making the star, she proceeded by drawing started an undescribable symbol one by one on top of the five-pointed angles of the star and began her explanation,

[There’re five types of Zen, they are: Enhancer, Manipulator, Imaginator, Essenciel, and the last, Speacilst] *Gorgon

[Enhancer, this is a very common type that most of the God possessed.

Enhancer is a type of Zen that could strengthen your raw strength to a terrifying degree.

I once heard a story, a certain god in ancient times could destroy a star with one punch after mastering this Zen type.

some can run faster than the speed of light when they used it to strengthen their leg.

Thus, even if this type is the most common, but the fact of it being powerful is still there.

But of course, it’s depended on how far you could go by mastering it.

if you can master it to a certain degree, maybe you can exceed the God that I mentioned just now] *Gorgon

…..

[Manipulator, this type of Zen will help you to manipulate a certain natural phenomenon.

maybe it sounds kind of plain, but please don’t underestimate the people who have this type of Zen.

Unlike elemental control, the scale of the phenomenon you can manipulate is more disastrous compare to the puny one of manipulating elemental.

I, myself have this type of Zen.

maybe you already know, when you were hit by my light arrows, your natural ability to regenerate was nulled at that time.

I believe, maybe you also have this type of Zen, if you master it, maybe killing God with your thunder is very possible in the future.

I suggest, manipulating a certain element you have a great affinity with will bring you farther than trying to manipulating something you not good at.

So if by chance you have this type, please train it wisely~] *Gorgon

……

[Next is Imaginator.

this type of Zen is quite special.

The Imaginator type can create something like a tool or weapon out of nowhere by just their imagination with their Zen, and being their partner for a lifetime.

The special item that was made by Zen usually has a unique or special ability depending on the personality of the one wielding it, thus this was also the reason why the people could attach inside the soul, summon it and hide it inside within their soul as they please.

In the past, I know someone that could summon a crystal ball that helps him/her see a certain future in return for paying it with some cost.

I also heard the goddess of the hunt who can summon a bow that can shoot an arrow that pierces through a million years’ distance far from it.

Anyway, even though the ability of the tool sound incredible, usually they have to pay a heavy cost before they could use it.

But still, it didn’t degrade on how powerful their ability are] *Gorgon

……..

[Move to the other type, Essenciel.

This Type of Zen has the special properties of manipulating life and Death.

After hearing it, maybe you think it’s a taboo power.

But in the world of Immortal, there’s nothing like a taboo.

I heard it from some rumor, A person with this type of Zen actually could help you fully revived death.

I also heard someone who can control the living as his/her puppet out of their will…] *Gorgon

…….

[Anyway, let’s get into the last part, Specialist….

About this type, I’m not quite familiar myself… but I heard it somewhere, this type of Zen power could only be gained from an Ancient Artifact naturally created by the world.

I have one myself with me, albeit it was given by someone.

Anyway, I’m not really sure that all Specialist Zen ability was the same as mine.

I believe, depending on what kind of Artifact it is, it gives different abilities.

That’s all I know about this type of Zen abilities.] *Gorgon

Finished her explanation, gorgon suddenly grabbed the earth below her with her hand before lifting it up as if trying to give it to me,

[So… leaving aside the Specialist type, among the four natural types, Enhancer, Manipulator, Imaginator, and Essential, which one is yours? If you want to find it out, please take this earth to test it] *Gorgon

Hearing from her mouth that I could find out the type of Zen within me is, I couldn’t help myself to open my eyes widely and looking at the seemingly ordinary earth in her hand in surprise.

Gulped*

Gulping my saliva, I began to become nervous as a mixed feeling of excitement, longing, and expectation gradually appeared inside my heart.

Badump badump*

As I heard my heart thumped in excitement, I gradually moved my hand to take the earth from Gorgon…
