"That's it?! Unexpected? What do you mean?"
The system let out a deep breath as if gathering its thoughts. Then, it spoke again.
[Master, you see, your superpower has crossed into a realm of power that is beyond normal classification. It is unlike anything ever recorded.]
"But isn't that a good thing? If this is an SSS-Rank, like the examiner said, then I will be able to achieve great things, right?"
A long pause.
Then the system continued, [There are more powerful superpowers ranks above SSS, but due to the rarity of the ranks, they were never really popularized to everyone which is why everyone believes the SSS level to be the highest.]
[But master, from what I can understand from scanning your superpower since you have awakened, I can conclude that this superpower is even more powerful.
And I am sure that is the only one to be at this level as I can feel myself being erased whenever I try to get close to it or try to understand it.]
[And this alone is shocking, as your bloodline was already something that could shake the foundation of this world, and now, this power has only added to that. If people knew what you had, they would stop at nothing to take it from you.]
Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. "Then tell me—what exactly did I unlock?"
A glowing screen materialized in front of him.
Superpower: Celestial Incubus Pact
Tier: ???
Status: Partially Sealed
Unlocked Abilities:
Pact of Dominion.
Lets you form unbreakable contracts with strong individuals, linking them to you.
Those who accept get stronger, live longer, and improve in every way, but in return, they stay connected to you forever.
Subjugation's Embrace.
Over time, pact members will feel more loyal and attached to you, naturally wanting to follow your lead.
The stronger their bond, the harder it becomes for them to resist or betray you.
Incubus Throne's Call.
If you form a pact with the strongest woman of a race, you gain influence over that race.
The more powerful she is, the more control you have over her people.
Essence of the Incubus King.
Every pact fuels your Incubus bloodline, boosting your charm, strength, and influence.
The more women you bind, the more powerful you become.
Carnal Synchronization
By having sex with a pact member, you can copy their superpower at a weakened version at first.
The more times you sleep with them, the stronger the copied ability becomes, eventually reaching full mastery.
You can store and switch between copied powers, allowing you to mix and match abilities as needed.
The original owner keeps their power, and as their strength grows, so does your copied version.
.... (Further abilities locked.)
...
...
"Holy shit," Ethan muttered, his mind reeling.
His superpower wasn't just rare—it was unheard of. Even the system couldn't identify its rank, and its abilities were incredible.
He could bind others to him, strengthening and influencing them. The implications were something that he would have never expected.
"This is too much, way too much," he muttered.
Meanwhile, Lilith, who had erased the memories of everyone except for the Moonshade twins and her daughters, was now staring at the broken awakening crystal in front of her and waited.
She was waiting for the particles that would tell her the superpower her son had awakened, and she wanted to make sure that this superpower was not known to anyone outside this room for now.
This is because she knew that if all of this got out, there would be endless trouble, and she had no doubt that people will try to find a way to steal his power.
So, she waited, and as soon as the glowing particles formed, she tried to grab them.
And the moment her fingers touched them—
She felt her mind and soul being sucked into the glowing particles as she found herself in a different place compared to the awakening room where she was supposed to be.
When she looked around, she saw that she was in a large space that seemed infinite, and entire galaxies revolved around a single being, their light bending to his will.
And at the center of it all, he stood.
The man, eerily similar to Ethan, but more refined, more godlike. His presence alone made her feel as if she was being watched by an endless number of eyes.
His black hair shimmered with streaks of gold, flowing as if the universe itself wove through it. He wore a crown, forged from the very fabric of the cosmos, sat atop his head, emitting a faint, indescribable glow.
And in his right hand, he held a sword, its blade a brilliant shade of sapphire, its surface glittering with countless stars.
But as she looked at the sword, she felt her soul slowly tear as if the sword was trying to suck her soul into it so that it can devour it.
Lilith's instincts screamed at her to look away, to run, to kneel—but she couldn't. She was frozen in place, her entire being locked onto him as if drawn by an irresistible force.
Then, as if sensing her presence, the man slowly turned his head.
Lilith's heart stopped as his gaze locked onto hers. His golden eyes, which did not show any emotions, suddenly had a look of confusion as he looked at her.
Then, his eyes glowed as an intricate clock appeared behind him, and his gaze became intense as he looked at Lilith with curiosity.
"So, this is the one..."
The words were barely a whisper, but they resonated throughout the entire space.
For a long moment, neither of them moved. Lilith felt the weight of his gaze, the sheer force of his attention pinning her in place.
She couldn't move, couldn't think. Her heart pounded in her chest, her blood roaring in her ears.
Time seemed to slow down, the galaxies swirling around them falling silent.
And then, as quickly as it began, the moment ended.
The man closed his eyes, turning away. The weight of his attention lifted, and Lilith's body went slack, her breath leaving her in a rush.
And then he opened his mouth, trying to say something but she could not hear. The words echoed in the void, but they did not reach her ears. And yet, she knew—they were meant for her.
Then—
A force ripped her back into reality.
