As Noah upgraded the Cthulhu skill tree into the Star Forging Realm and looked over its ridiculously powerful abilities, he became increasingly conscious of the number of skill points that continued to dwindle!
This brought him to look towards the feature of [Skill Creation] once more as he wondered of even more possibilities through this feature that would allow him not to just spend skill points, but possibly gain them.
To understand this process, one must recall that for Noah to gain skill points in the first place, it was only made possible because he was an entirely different existence compared to the Infernals before he went on to become one himself.
The Infernals were not just another Race that lived in the Novus Galaxy, they were unique existences that the vast majority of did not even have their own free will, their hearts only knowing destruction and their purpose of opposing the Celestials! Only the Infernal Lords that stood at the highest peaks of Infernals could be considered different.
Noah was able to gain Skill Points because of this, and he instinctively knew that some time in the future, he would meet other beings that were a separate existence than him- and this would give him the chance to amass more skill points once more.
Yet he now looked at the [Skill Creation] feature that gave out skills in exchange for Skill Points as he wondered if it might be possible to bypass a wait time of who knew how long and begin amassing skill points even sooner. He was thinking of the possibility of whether he could create a skill...which allowed him to get more skill points!
He had not seen the full extent that [Skill Creation] could be used, his mind only focusing on combat or non combat skills so far. What if thought outside the box? It felt like a light bulb had lit up inside his mind as while he remained in the Verittas Fortress awaiting for the next attack the Celestials would throw this way, he began tinkering with the possibility of a new skill that was unlike any he had made so far.
His thoughts were relayed to the System as he properly classified and added many small details and restrictions to make sure that the idea he was thinking of would not be too expensive. But if this idea was even feasible...then it would open up a brand new world of possibilities.
A few minutes passed and soon enough, a beautiful blue light shone in the stat panel as the System computed the feasibility of the inputted skill, and exactly what it would cost to bring it to life!
[Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] - By using defeated enemies as a base, their very Origin is converted into usable Skill Points for the user. While this skill is active, enemies will not drop any form of loot aside from the skill points. This method produces 50% of the skill points that the user would normally gain from defeating separate existences. Cost of Skill Creation: 10,000
A distinct skill that shone in his eyes but seemed out of reach appeared, the 10,000 skill points price tag for an ability that would allow him to possibly amass skill points again being something he could not pay! Yet, he did not give up as he added even more restrictions to this possible ability, seeing whether he could bring this price tag down to an affordable level!
He started with the percentage he placed compared to when he received skill points from Infernals as he brought it down from 50% and to 25%, the price only dropping by 3000. He gritted his teeth as he changed this to 5%, the price only dropping by another 3000! He continued to experiment as he added more and more conditions until a semi possible skill was displayed in front of his eyes.
[Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] :: By using defeated enemies as a base, their very Origin is converted into usable Skill Points for the user. While this skill is active, enemies will not drop any form of loot aside from the skill points. This method produces *5% of the skill points that the user would normally gain from defeating separate existences. *The user provides all the mana required for the conversion of Origins into skill points. *Only those at the level of Soul Rank or higher are capable of condensing skill points. Cost of Skill Creation: 300
"..."
After numerous restrictions and an extremely small percentage compared to how fast he acquired skill points from Infernals, a usable skill appeared!
’Take it!’
His eyes shone with l.u.s.ter as he even had to reduce some points from the Abyssal Lich and Juvenile Ancient skill trees to be able to pay the price in full, but he did it without question as it gave him a pathway to gaining more skill points when he had no way to at this time!
He also had the perfect opportunity to use it as he knew a great number of enemies would be making their way over to the Verittas Fortress very soon.
His heart was already content when he realized that multiple Star Forging Golden Commanders were making their way over with Athena and even himself in the lead, but even this thought was proved to be wrong as Noah’s clone that was acting as Crixus began seeing the arrival or more Legions that began to cl.u.s.ter around the already bustling area.
His clone was enjoying a meal with Athena when he began to see the addition of even more Celestials, his excitement rising as he saw more and more of them, because it meant his newly created [Origin Conversion: Skill Point Absorption] would be able to greatly display its usefulness as he planned to regain the full skill point cost he spent of this skill and then push past it as he collected more skill points for the future!
