Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Neutral Zone - Part 3
As time passed, it came to night time. Jake took advantage of this time to go to the mission board with his 5 clones. They each picked up a very hard mission and ripped it going to the mission location.
Jake and the clones each quickly completed the missions, finishing all of the Hard, Medium, Very Hard, and the Impossible mission in 3-4 hours. After this, Jake went to where he felt the stares coming from when he entered the Neutral Zone and still felt them now.
He came to a big door, and said to what is behind the door.
"Can you do the same thing as the Gaekgwi with the impossible mission? You can make it much harder, and can also greatly cut the rewards for completing it."
"Why should we do that little guy?"
Jake heard a charming voice coming from the other side of the door.
"Well. Why is your divinity not complete?"
"What do you mean?"
Jake had taken off his blindfold, and saw something that astonished him. The seven deities divinity are not complete.
"I mean it literally. I can tell you a way that might fix it if you can do the impossible mission."
"Fine. But we will only do it after you tell us how to fix it."
"Well. You seven deities represent the seven deadly sins if I am correct? However your divinities are only 'Lust', 'Wrath', 'Avarice', 'Sloth', 'Gluttony', 'Envy', and 'Pride'. What the full forms of the divinities should be 'Seven Deadly Sins - Lust', 'Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath', etc. And you can complete your divinity by combining them all together."
Jake told them what his Six-Eyes and [Divine Identification] Skill told him. The [Divine Identification] Skill can now tell much more detail of things. If something is not complete it will tell what it is when completed, how to complete it, and some functions of the completed thing. If it is a crafted item like an elixir, it will list all ingredients needed to make it, substitute ingredients that can be used, the recipe to make it, the equipment needed to make it, etc.
"We will try it. However, if you lie to us we will make it difficult for you."
The deities said before they tried it. After about 5 seconds of using this method, their divinities became stronger and more complete. And after another 10 minutes they became complete as the strength of the deities became much stronger instantly.
"Can you fulfil you'd end of the deal now, please?"
Jake asked them.
"Sure. Thank you little man."
The same goddess with a charming voice said again, however her voice is much more charming.
Jake went back to the notice board and continued to complete the impossible mission until 5:30am.
Jake had completed the impossible mission 45 times, with the difficulty increasing by 0.3x every completion and increasing the difficulty by 5x every 10 completions. The points for the mission were decreased by 95%.
After he completed it though, he had enough points to buy all the VIP Store items including the special competences, and he spent almost all the remaining points on normal competences.
the normal competences last for 12 hours each and increase the effectiveness of training by 4x. The special competences last for 24 hours each and increase the effectiveness of training by 8x.
He went back to the no.1 exclusive room and took out the special competences, placing them into groups of 6 with 9 groups being for each person training, and the last group being for the 6 people that have improved their skills proficiency the most in the 6 days that the special competences last for.
He then grabbed the normal competences and divided them into groups of around 180 for each person training. After doing this he looked at the rest of the items he bought at the VIP Store. These are:
Ambriosa x2
Pneuma's Sky Boots
Moirai's Souvenir
Miyal's Branding Iron
Divine Elixirs: Strength x1, Endurance x1, Agility x2, Stamina x2, Magic x1, Luck x3
The Divine Stigmata
The Seed of the World Tree
Saintes Mesures of Sidus
Aphriso's Sedge x5
Psychi's Tears
He used the [Divine Investigation] skill to look at their functions.

The trials will be extremely difficult and painful, however the stigma created in the process will surely become the source of your new power.
[Moirai's Souvenir]
The reliquary that accompanied the life of the saint Moirai, the most devout of the Clerics, who prayed every morning upon waking and every night before sleeping. It is said that this reliquary is imbued with all the divine powers that Moirai accumulated in his peaceful and devout life. It can be delivered to any temple as an offering in exchange for many contribution points or used as a sacrificial offering to cast a divine spell as a Cleric.

After looking at all of this, Jake combined the 2 Diluted Ambrosia creating a Complete Ambrosia and swallowed it.
[Your Innate Ability, 'World Traveler' is breaking past its limit and evolving.]
[Your Innate Ability, 'World Traveler' has reached the 5th stage]
[5th Stage - allows for travelling to different worlds, allows to increase or decrease time flow rate between different worlds, makes you the Ultimate Child of Luck in any world which is the 0th grade and can usually only occur in a world near destruction and is a last ditch effort of the world will (eg. Huo Yuhao, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, etc.), can greatly increase the talent of people you choose and allows them to become children of luck of the 2nd grade which is 1 grade above what can be artificially made from someone stealing luck (eg. Tang San (Shura God and Poseidon's help (stolen the luck of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, entire Soul Hall))) can allow for the people that you choose to awaken an Innate Ability that is normally around the 2nd grade (eg. Seol Jihu's Nine Eyes and Future Vision), which is 1 grade below Seol Jihu's Future Gauging Nine Eyes, and 2 grades below the 'World Traveler' Innate Ability without breaking its limit 0th Grade.]
After this, Jake noticed that some of his temporary students were coming down.
"Hey. Make sure to get everyone down here. I have a gift for all of you."
"Okay. I hope you don't just make us train harder."
Jake told them before Odelette Delphine replied and went back to get everyone down to where Jake is. After some time everyone has gathered around Jake and Jake began to use his innate ability on all of them.
"I am going to use my innate ability on all of you which will greatly increase your talent, make you become children of luck, and give you an innate ability of your own."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it literally and it will be done in about 5 seconds."

"There, it should have worked. How does it feel?"
Jake asked them after he saw they were stunned.
"It worked amazing! But why is my Innate Ability called 'Apostle of Lust'? It makes me sound lustful."
Odelette Delphine said excitedly before she whined about the name of her ability.
"Mine is amazing too. However the name of my Innate Ability is also bad, called 'Love Berserker'. It makes me sound like a love brain."
Yun Seora also commented.
"I like it."
"Yeah. Me and my brother like it too."
"I like the name of my innate ability and its effects."
All the others also began to comment. After they were granted Innate Abilities the 7 deities were surprised at the massive growth of their respective fate stars.
"How nice. I've got an apostle from him granting Innate Abilites to the girl called Odelette Delphine."
"I will request for him to use his Innate Ability on the person I am giving a trial period to become my Executor."
"I will also request him to use his Innate Ability on my Executor, making both of my children stronger."
Luxuria and Acedia talked to themselves, while the other deities were looking at the others who were granted Innate Abilities to see if they could become their Executor.
——————— Dividing Line ———————
At the Parasite Queen's residence.
"Why!? Why have those fate stars grown massively with no warning!? What could have caused this to happen!?"
The Parasite Queen began to be furious but unable to do anything about it.
