Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"I don't think that would be necessary, Master."

"No way am I letting go of {Limitless} Possum."

"Who cares if it is degraded, Honey?"

"Look, everyone, {Limitless} is not perfect, if you can use two {Formless} {Fates} at full power, use them instead. Just make sure you keep {Rewind} for emergencies," I tried to reason.

Of course, {Limitless} was meant to be a means to an end. If the Sirens eventually found a better {Fate}, they should discard {Limitless} to maximize their soul capacities.

"I refuse, dear."

"Husband, {Limitless} was a product of your affection, how on earth could we just throw it away?"

"Darling, just the thought of you making {Kismet} for us makes my heart flutter!"

"My love, you cannot change our minds, I suggest we move on."

"..."

While I pretended to be displeased, I felt warm and fuzzy inside. The feeling was similar to that of making a homemade gift. The gift was not as fancy as store-bought products, but there was definitely more heart in it.

Seeing the girls appreciate my {Kismet} despite it's flaws was endearing. Feigning a cough, I continued to fill the active and passive pools.

"Then do as you wish, let's fill this up so I can share it with you all later."

In addition to the original 23 {Fates} I had before, I got seven new ones from each of the girls. I added {Imaging}, {Ascend} and {Carve} to the passives. While I added {Announce}, {Program}, {Block} and {Portal} to the actives.

{EXA} and {Code} explained the new abilities in terms I could understand.

___

New Passives

[Enhanced Wizard Suite]

- {Imaging} - grants the ability to shift the methodology of vision to thermographic, biological, molecular, electromagnetic, or holographic.

[Enhanced Hunter Suite]

- {Ascend} - grants the ability to defy gravity when walking above ground for 1 second per step. Altitude limit: 5,000 ft

- {Carve} - grants the ability to deal more damage to known weaknesses.

New Actives

[Defensive Skills]

- {Block} - Creates a layer of soul armor that absorbs 12 megajoules of force before failing.

[Sound Manipulation]

- {Announce} - Increases the volume of any sound wave by 120 db.

[Technopathy]

- {Program} - Technopathy, creates a pre-set routine of events. {Fate} Compatible.

[Spatial Manipulation]

- {Portal} - Creates a gateway that allows a living being to enter subspace. Requires at least two portals before traversal is enabled. Increases storage limit by 100 square feet.

___

The seven new abilities were all insanely powerful in my opinion. {Imaging} alone allowed me to change the way my eyes saw information.

Basically, I now had thermal, MRI, microscopic, and X-ray vision. Holographic vision, on the other hand, meant that I could look at an object and instantly measure it's the dimensions just by looking at it.

{Ascend} basically allows me to run on air. {Carve} on the other hand allowed me to deal critical strikes. {Block} was a deployable armor that was as powerful as {Withstand} without the pain.

{Announce} gave me an overpowered directional speaker, which might sound lame, but I already had some ideas on how to use it.

{Program] sounded simple, but it was essentially automating {Fates}.

Finally, {Portal} allowed my subspace to act as a bridge for living beings, provided I had at least 2 portals. On top of increasing my space by 100 square feet.

It was extremely difficult to choose which of these abilities was the most broken.

The Sirens, noticing the massive amount of information, were in awe of how {Code} displayed the information.

"Bella, do you see your own abilities like this?" Jasmine asked.

"As if! I guess someone else's {Fate} is needed for such analysis. Honey's ability to display information is beyond me."

"Maybe it's {Gather} from Aki's {Eat}? Even during enlistment, weren't darling's {Kismet}, {Expose}, and {Loot} based on that?"

"Goodness, dear no matter how many disadvantages {Limitless} has, it is absurd to have all of these as one ability. And what is even more outrageous is that if everyone here continues to evolve, the number of {Fates} will increase even further!"

Smiling, I nodded my head and replied, "Yes, {Limitless} will become even stronger the more we all evolve. While {Rewind} is not included, I am the only one who can upgrade {Limitless}. So, in a way, Limitless means the eight of us. Or rather, we are Limitless."

As I spoke, Exa appeared on the screen and bowed.

[Limitless, I have discovered eight possible combination skills that can be generated. Would you like to peruse them?]

Another change in the development of {Limitless} was that instead of the skills being upgradeable, they were being combined instead. I didn't know which was better, but I'm sure the newer version was meant to be superior.

"Exa, are the combination skills the same as {Kismet}? Will these eight combo skills consume master's available {Kismet} slots?"

[No, Lady Miroku, they will not. {Kismet} can create new effects using the synergies of {Fates}. The combo skills, on the other hand, just shortened the order of commands to a single keyword.]

"Another set of cheating skills, so Honey just became a zero chant mage," Bella sarcastically praised.

"Exa, will these skills be available to us as well? Or are they just for darling?"

[They can also be transferred to the rest of the Sirens, Lady Benelli. They do not require my presence to be used].

"Perfect, show them Exa," I ordered.

[Understood. Showing them now.]

___

Available Combination Skills

1. [Flash Step] = {Hike} + {Portal}

2. [Absorb] = {Portal} + {Retrieve} + {Digest} + {Suffer}

3. [Skywalk] = {Ascend} + {Hike} + {Carry}

4. [Weak Point Targeting] = {Aim} + {Imaging} + {Gather} + {Carve}

5. [Tank] = {Block} | {Withstand} | {Endure} | {Suffer}

6. [Battering Ram] = [Tank] + [Flash Step]

7. [Double Damage] = [Weak Point Targeting] + {Counter}

___

"..." x7

The Sirens began to look like me in annoyance. I could understand why. This combo list would only grow with time. In the near future, my fighting style would allow me to invoke hundreds of {Fates} in rapid succession.

"Heh, it's not my fault that it turned out this way. I just asked the guys."

Jo then rested her chin on her hands as she inquired. "Speaking of which, you were also talking to some "guys" earlier. Who exactly were you talking to, darling?"

"Ah, I was talking to your {fates}. When I was alone, I used to talk to them regularly. Not only did they understand what I wanted, they even cheered me on during fights," I answered truthfully.

"Husband, you converse with our {Fates}? And they answer you?"

"Dearest, the idea that {Fates} are even sentient is wrong to begin with."

"Possum aside, is that even possible?"

"I'm tired of trying to understand you, honey."

"Huh? Then how did you all evolve? Didn't you ask for your latest {Fates}?" I asked in confusion.

"My love, we did not ask. The {Fates} just appeared. "

"On their own? Without any input?"

"Yes, master. Many have speculated various theories as to why the creation of {Fates} followed a certain pattern, but no one, not even Academics, has been able to explain how."
