Chapter 1243 Looking at Skills
'…Although they didn't say it outright, they definitely confirmed it.'
By the time Valyr was done reading through all of the notifications he received from both Adam and Eve, the smile on his face turned into a grin. After all, the notifications he got were clear proof that the two didn't renege on their promises.
'I'll be able to access these skills once I return to my identity as Valyr Zeihardt,' thought Valyr to himself as he let out a faint chuckle, only to correct himself soon after as a thought came to mind.
'On second thought, I'll only be able to access most of these skills. I have a feeling [Obscuration of True Fate] won't carry over since it only helps my current identity out.'
'…Aside from that, I also probably wouldn't have access to the boosts Eve's title gave me when I'm in Greater Beyond as my other self,' continued the young man in his mind, letting out a faint sigh as he felt a bit glum from the realization. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
'Then again, it's not like it's impossible.' Fortunately, it did not take too long for him to comfort himself. 'Adam did give me a skill that would allow me to use the strengths of both identities at once, after all.'
'Speaking of which, I suppose I should take a look at these skills I got in greater detail.'
With that in mind, the young man immediately made his way to a less frequented portion of the village, hoping to reduce his chances of other players or NPCs finding out his new secret.
"…Alright." After checking a few more times to confirm that no people would be able to check in on what he was doing, it was only then did Valyr command the system to bring up the descriptions of the new skills and titles he got, neatly laying all of them out in front of him.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Soul Shift] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
A skill created by the Third Administrator for a special being.
This skill gives the user the ability to switch to another part of their soul, allowing them to swap to an identity that is completely separate and different from the original.
The duration of the skill depends on the difference in levels between the original identity and the alternate identity, wherein the user will be able to stay in their alternate identity for longer if they remain in their original identity for longer first.
Of course, this limitation is removed once both the original and alternate identity are of the same level, allowing the user to swap between both identities at anytime at the cost of energy.
Alternate identity: Valyr Zeihardt (Lv. 75)
Maximum duration: 1 day
[Note: The maximum duration increases by 1 minute for every 72 minutes the user stays in their original identity. Once the duration runs out, the user is forced to return to their original identity. The skill only becomes usable once more after at least one hour of duration has been recharged.]

[Soul Fusion] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
A skill created by the Third Administrator for a special being.
This skill gives the user the ability to tap into the strength contained within their entire souls, allowing them to combine the abilities and stats that have been cultivated by all of their identities.
The duration, cost, and strength of the skill is dependent on the difference in levels between identities.
Once all identities are at the same level, the duration, cost, and strength becomes fixed.
Duration: 30 seconds
Strength: 10% of the other identities' stats added to the weakest identity's stats
Cost: 1,000 MP

[Soul Split] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
A skill created by the Third Administrator for a special being.
This skill gives the user the ability to split their souls into different entities, allowing their identities to act independently from one another while sharing the same thoughts.
The duration and cost of the skill is dependent on the difference in levels between identities.
Once all identities are at the same level, the duration now becomes dependent on a fixed cost shouldered by all identities.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cost: 10,000 MP

'They've really made it convenient for me.' Reading through all of the skills Adam gave him, Valyr's eyebrows rose in interest as he felt that the three skills pretty much covered all of the problems he might face.
Considering that he first needed to reach the peak of Rank 4 once again as Ataraxia, [Soul Shift] would solve the problem of having his other self pop up whenever the need arose for it, merely relying on the passage of time for it to work.
By the time both of his identities were on equal levels, he would be able to use [Soul Shift] freely, or perhaps make use of [Soul Split] if he wanted to make it seem like the two identities had no connection with one another.
As for [Soul Fusion], Valyr had a feeling that Adam gave the skill to him so he could use it as a trump card to turn the tides of battle in his favor while he was Ataraxia.
After all, even if he only had access to 10% of the stats his other self currently had, that was still more than enough to put him on par with a lot of peak Rank 2 class holders.
Add on the fact that he'd also gain access to the various skills he amassed during the past few years he'd been in Veldanyr, he was certain he'd even give Rank 3 class holders a run for their money with his current identity.
'I'm pretty sure he also gave it to me with the final battle in mind,' briefly thought Valyr to himself, only to then close all of the screens he'd gone through so far.
'Now, time to check what Eve gave me.'

[Obscuration of True Fate] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
A skill created by the Fifth Administrator for a special being.
This skill allows the attention the Apparatus has towards the user to be separated to a different part of the soul, allowing the remaining portion of the soul to be unaffected.
This skill nullifies the effects of 'Defier of Fate' titles the user's other identities might have on their original identity, allowing the user to improve their original identity's strength unimpeded.

'…Why do I feel like Adam gave me better skills for some reason?'
