Chapter 436 Legendary Skill
Reign flew high in the sky, feeling the wind rush past him as he traveled hundreds of kilometers in a matter of minutes.
He spotted a mountain area below, with tall peaks rising sharply against the sky.
It was a rare sight in this region, which had mostly been flat .
'This place will let me stay hidden while I figure out my next steps,'
He knew he had to wait until everyone he wanted alive left Green Valley before making a big move, especially now that his destructive level could level an entire walled city.
Sitting on the rocks, he decided to focus first on the matters that needed his attention: his status and how he could further improve his existing power.
He was strong, but he still need to maximized his potential for the battle ahead.
Aiku's information stated that the humans had reached their breaking point. Continue reading at empire
Frustrated by his nonstop destruction, they were mobilizing larger forces to put an end to his rampage.
This was no longer like before, when he still had the element of surprise on his side.
He took a deep breath, letting the silence of the mountains clear his mind.
'Status'
The familiar semi-transparent window appeared in his vision, shimmering with a soft glow.
It displayed his current status, listing his powers, new system functions, and potential upgrades.
Each line of text felt like a reminder of how far he had come.

============
The new stats impressed him .
While the changes in his minor stats were not that big, the improvement in his Energy was astounding.
At his current level, that boost was more important than anything else.
'I think this means Xtraordinary,' he chuckled to himself.
'My endurance is lacking, though,' he added as he check his other stats. 'If I want to increase the time I can hold my charge attack, I'll need to improve my endurance to keep more energy,'
Right now, he felt like a nuclear reactor—his energy capacity was immense, but the infrastructure of his body couldn't fully support it.
It was almost ironic. He had always considered his body to be durable, strong enough to withstand almost anything, but clearly, that wasn't the case anymore.
Fortunately, it wasn't a major issue.
He knew he could farm more points to increase his endurance. It was just a matter of time and effort.
Reign glanced at his skills this time around, noticing something new: each of them now had a glowing + sign next to it.
'So, I can upgrade my abilities,'
But as he tapped on the icons, a notification appeared.
[System: Insufficient skill points.]
He looked down at his points and saw they had been zeroed out.
This time, though, he wasn't shocked. He had grown used to how the system operated by now.
'What other things I got ?'
He shifted his gaze to the Research and Development option in the system's interface.
When he clicked the option, he was greeted by a new window that displayed an R&D section.
He began experimenting with it and quickly realized that this feature could actually analyze his original skills, checking for any room for improvements.
This was a game changer.
The ability to fine-tune his existing skills meant he could adapt and strengthen them, making him even more formidable in battle.
There was even a classification of skills that allowed him to figure out the standard of his abilities.
This section provided a clear overview of how his skills measured up, categorizing them into various tiers and levels.

It was a no-brainer which skill he had to try first.
Without hesitation, he quickly selected his Hyper Rail Gun skill for evaluation.
[Hyper Rail Gun Analyzed - Cost 10 Skill Points]
The cost to analyze the skill was 10 skill points, a price he was more than willing to pay.
Fortunately, he still had a bunch of souls with him, which he quickly converted into the necessary skill points.
[Hyper Rail Gun : Exalted ]
'Exalted? That's it? That's the only information I got for 10 skill points?' he exclaimed, frustration rising up inside him.
For a moment, he almost reverted to cursing the system, feeling cheated.
But then he took a paused, quickly calming himself. He had promised to never let the system's greediness get to him again.
[Cost: 100 skill points to check for weaknesses to improve to Legendary Rank . ]
[Cost: 1000 skill points to check for weaknesses to improve to God Rank . ]
"Just the Legendary Rank for now " he reluctantly answered.
[Hyper Rail Gun: In-Depth Analysis ]
>>Enhanced Energy Capacitors: Upgrading the energy storage system would allow for faster charging and greater energy retention and efficiency when using the rail gun in burst mode.
>>Cooling System Optimization: Implementing a cooling mechanism would prevent overheating during rapid fire, allowing host to unleash sustained bursts without risking backlash.
>>Variable Charge Settings: Incorporating different charge levels through internal improvements of the barrel would allow host to adjust the power of each shot much faster. This versatility would be useful in various combat situations, enabling quick, low-power shots or devastating high-power blasts.
Blueprint for the improvements appeared before him, detailing all the upgrades he could implement.
The layout was clear and comprehensive, showcasing the changes he could make to enhance his Hyper Rail Gun.
It was something he wouldn't have been able to figure out without poring over advanced textbooks on rail gun technology, but now the system had filled in the missing links.
But what caught his attention even more was the option for Auto Improve.
With a single click, he could initiate the upgrades .
It felt like the system was telling him that he didn't need to use his brain anymore—just let the true genius do its magic.
The idea of relying on the system to handle the complex upgrades was both amusing and scary at the same time.
But not using it would be a dumb move, considering it was free.
"Auto Improve," he ordered, activating the 'I am too lazy to manually do it ' feature .
