Chapter 4 - Divine abilities

"Yes I am shocked, but not at what you think, I thought you are all bodyguards. "Kyle said.

"Why would you say that as if it's a bad thing? although we are not bodyguards, my liege is too great to need any bodyguards, my liege is a own one man army.

Kyle raised his hands and surrender.

"So am I just going like this, or what. "Kyle said.

"No. You will first be bestowed your divine abilities. "G.O.S said.

The moment of truth have come. After all the decisions and discussion. The most important part of the whole arrangements have finally arrives. Because it will decide how Kyle will be able to plan the route towards achieving his goals. Because this divine abilities are not going to be the way he gain strength, rather they will be the shield that will make his journey easier.

Kyle who has the knowledge of majorities of such scenario, after all he use to be an avid reader on all thing reincarnation, over powered mc, world shattering divine abilities and the rest, so he knew that choosing a good divine abilities give him a higher chance of reaching the pseudo god domain quicker, so he knew he must pick right. The thought of being like the overlord, like Rimuru tempest aka the slime lord and the rest make him extreme happy, after all this is every anime, or manga watcher dream come true.

"I am ready. Show me" said Kyle in a stoic manner to hide his happiness.

"You are allowed to choose only three divine abilities. Every God gives them to their warriors. And each god posses their own divine ability related to their domain. However you won't get to choose this power again, so you must choose wisely. "G.O.S said.

G.O.S said, he then wave his hand, suddenly over 30 pyramid containing different colors In them appears in front of Kyle and stared lining up in a que. The brightness on the pyramid colors varies, some looks very bright and some look very dim, there were also 5 pyramid that appear colourless, this pyramids colours look strange, sometimes it will appear as if it's fading from existence and sometimes it will stand like nothing can destroy it, even the end of the world.

Kyle understand that this pyramids contain the abilities he will be given, and his future plans will all depend on this abilities.

He looks at a pyramid and the information about their uses, how to use them and the burden of the power.

Clairvoyance, invincibility, flight, immortality, telekinesis, transformations, mimic, photographic eye, omnipotent vision ..... Around 30 of such random abilities appeared on each of the pyramids and all of them are in the black grade(peak grade). They were perfect abilities with no flaws in them. Kyle touched the pyramids, and it felt as if the abilities are calling him to own them. The calling was almost unbearable but the thought of the anime he watched where the best abilities always appear last, in a very ordinary Mannar he continues without falling to the temptation of picking early. After some time. He had browsed through all the silver, brown and the other colors, it remains gold and the strange color. He curiously asked.

"Great one, why are the pyramids graded In colors? And why do some look bright and some look dim?

God simply answer.

"From silver to the color below it are the abilities with negligible to no bad side, and their brightness shows how much they have been used, you could see that the colors are bright..."

"But what about the gold one and the strange pyramid?" Kyle asked.

"The gold have been chosen only once, why the strange one not even once. "The god said.

"Interesting. All this abilities are powerful and amazing and can be used for extremely favourable outcome. No wonder my predecessor chose many of these. If use properly, they can even be use to create a kingdom of my own and help me reach the strength to be able to fight the mysterious entity and it armies within two decades or five. This abilities are simply perfect. "Kyle said.

"But. All of them are bound to certain conditions. For example, doppelganger. The person will have to have something important from the person they want to change to, like there hair, their cloth e.t.c. not even coming to the battle part, this condition makes the user looks like a pervert, or a weirdo that collect people things. Now coming to a situation of life and death, your opponent won't give you chance to touch any of his belongings and once the ability is known, your loss have been decided".

"The clairvoyance part. The vision the abilities you is not constant, it may give you vision of things that will happen in the upcoming years, things that do not concern you of recent, and it only works when you are sleeping sometimes and it's not every time even self. This ability is good but it's conditions are shit".

"Telepath. It is just like the doppelganger ability, at least this one you just have to be able to touch the person you want to use the ability on, you don't have to collect anything from the victims of the ability, but still it will still make you lose like a pervert for sure. In the battle path it is even worse than all the abilities, do you want to be talking in the person head while fighting, it may even work, but would you be given the chance to". Kyle gave the god the thumb down on the ability.

And then he started listing out all the pros and cons of all the 'divine abilities' which were subject to the user quick death.

G.O.S who has already put on his faceless face on when he see how Kyle is bringing out all the bad of the divine abilities just act like it don't affect him at all. These are divine abilities for goodness sake, why do they look like shit now. The god could not cry and ask for help it will bring is image more down in the eye of Kyle.

He want to shout that if this abilities are shit why don't you create your own ability, you should see how hard it is to create ability, you will see that it is not my fault, he then said in his mind, "ah my price possessions have been diminish, maybe I should stop making all this abilities". Because if he complain, it will look like he was hurt by the word of a man who died from suicide. Kyle was basically slapping him in his face over and over again. And each time the intensity just keep getting louder and louder. Even Anubis lost any word he want to say in support for his god, so he just act as if he was not associated with the god again, like he he just a statue, but the other followers surrounding the god gave him a pity look.

Just as he was about to speak. Kyle turned his gaze to the last gold and 5 strange pyramids and started checking them out.

Shadow illusion.

Dust revival.

Synthesis.
