NOVEL NEXT Chapter 479: Cosmic Power
Souta and the rest safely arrived in the Guardian Fortress. It's been a few months since they came inside the living labyrinth, and they finally cleared it after training all the time.
"We'll talk later, but for now let's rest our bodies and minds first."
Souta said to his group before he went to his room and laid down on the bed. They had been fighting nonstop for the past few months, so it was important for them to rest their minds and bodies.
Of course, they were going to leave this place. They've finished their goal here, so he didn't forget to mention the transportational gate to the crew of this ship. The ordinary crew of this ship were the subordinates that Torkez brought and the Gyun's party that Souta met in this world.
While they were resting, the ship would travel in space using the transportational gate to close the distance between them and the Great World Imperium. Souta used the route of the Great Astley Empire as he knew that it would lead him to the Imperium just like what happened in the game.
In the blink of an eye, the Guardian Fortress on the Eidin planet disappeared and appeared on another planet far away from the Eidin planet. This zone was called an unexplored area because the Great Astley Empire hadn't explored this galaxy.
The Great Astley Empire was an enormous empire that controlled hundreds of habitable planets. Their hands reached several galaxies around their home planet. And each galaxy only had five to ten habitable planets. The rest were just mining areas for resources.
But they still prefer to mine resources from a planet that has living creatures because the resources from this planet can't be compared to those on mining planets. Also, the mana density of those mining planets was too low, as if they had no mana at all in the atmosphere. All it had were just various chemicals.
Souta closed his eyes as he focused his attention on the system in his mind. A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him, and rows of words were written on it.
[Cosmic Sign: Ophiuchus]
This title only provided him with +100 points for all stats. The abilities that it provided were all sealed in the system store, and he needed skill points and free attribute points to unlock it.
His body couldn't handle all the powers of the legacy; that's why the system suggested that he convert the energy into experience points. Luckily, the system stored all the lost legacy, or else he wouldn't have a chance to acquire all these abilities again.
Just what the hell was the system? It could even seal the Cosmic Power, one of the strongest abilities in the universe.
Souta couldn't help but recall the voices that he heard when he evolved.
The Four Authorities, the Aspect of the Sins, and the Star Zodiacs.
He was sure that the Star Zodiacs were the Cosmic Power that he gained in the living labyrinth. The voices said that they were needed. These powers were needed for what? He didn't know the answer, but he felt that he was getting closer to the truth.
Once he evolved, he was sure that he would unlock a part of his memories from when he was still living on planet Earth. He will also know why he was sent here and why the game he was playing back then was real.
'Ieshi Clan... And my name is Souta Ieshi. My grandfather said that I shouldn't forget my name no matter what happens, as it will help me. I should try to find traces of the Ieshi Clan in Imperium, but I haven't heard anything about this clan in the game, so I don't know where to start.'
Souta furrowed his brows as he was contemplating where he should start in finding the clues to this mysterious clan that existed twenty thousand years ago.
He shook his head and decided to check what abilities he had and what abilities were sealed in the store.
The title [Cosmic Sign: Ophiuchus] gave him a total of five abilities, but four of them were sealed in the system store. The only thing that he got for free was the [Cosmic Body].
[Cosmic Body]: A body of stars just like a god. It holds enormous power and the potential to manipulate the Cosmic Powers. It's one of the few bodies in the universe that could hold Cosmic Powers.
This was the description of the ability called [Cosmic Body] but he didn't have this one as what he saw was something more amazing. The system somehow managed to integrate his three bodies. The [Shadow Body], the [Monster's Body], and lastly, the [Cosmic Body]. And the result was truly amazing.
[Dark Stellar Monster Body] is a one-of-a-kind ability that he gained when he almost died. The energy from the legacy destroyed his cells and his body from the inside, but his queen parasite repeatedly reformed his body until he converted the energy into exp. This was the reason he survived and the reason why the three abilities have merged.
Normally he would only acquire the three abilities but not fuse them, as he doesn't have the kind of powers.
Damn! This is too good to be true!!
[Dark Stellar Monster Body]
Effect 1: +1,000 Health, +350 Energy(Best Feram), +100 Stamina, +50 Stamina Regen, +50 Health Regen, +50 Energy Regen, +300 Strength, +20 Agility and Dexterity, +100 Vitality, +50 Intelligence
Effect 2: Added fifty percent resistance to all types of elements, including space and time. No one could harm the body below the liquefying realm.
Effect 3: The power of the darkness attribute spell and combat arts will increase by 10 percent.
Effect 4: Able to acquire a Cosmic Power.
Of course, the previous effects of the [Monster's Body] and the [Shadow Body] have long disappeared. It was just upgraded to a more powerful ability. With this, he couldn't ask for more.
The previous [Monster's Body] provided him with +500 Health, but this new body has doubled the stats.
Effect 1 was already satisfying to look at, and it has other three effects. The effect 2 already guaranteed that no one could harm him below A-rank. No matter how many B-ranks he fought, he wouldn't suffer any injuries with this effect.
A party consisting of fifteen B-rank characters of different classes would be enough to injure him and maybe defeat him if they had a powerful skill set, but now he didn't need to worry about it.
A smile formed on his face while looking at this ability. He then eyed the system store, where the rest of the legacy was sealed.

»[Nebula Heart]
Cost: 20 skill points and 40 free attribute points
»[Star Veins]
Cost: 40 skill points
»[Archetype: Eternity Stellar Formation]

»[Cosmic Authority: Ophiuchus]

Expensive!! But he was sure that all of these were powerful abilities just by looking at the [Cosmic Body] that he received.
It's too much for him. To think that he would have to delay his class advancement for a while to gather a bunch of skill points and free attribute points.
What he needed were dozens of high-difficulty quests. Gathering this many skill points and free attribute points would take him more than a year.
Souta inhaled deeply as he shook his head and glanced at the treasure in the corner of his room.
"Saya, have you checked these treasures?" He asked.
'Yeah, these treasures are amazing,' Saya said with a hint of excitement in her voice. She then explained to him what she found.

Souta opened his eyes widely when he heard Saya's voice. He couldn't help but gasp, as the things that she listed were too rare. He could only find some of it in dangerous places.
"Fuck!! I'm rich!!"
