"What... is that?!?" William exclaimed out loud. The list of abilities was unbelievable, and each one had absurd effects that combined the best aspects of his previous Talents. Not only was nothing lost, but there were even more gained!

A Mythic Talent is a Mythic Talent, after all. Thank God I have the Mind Talent, otherwise it would be impossible to remember all these effects, much less keep them in order.

William moved his arm to test out the effects of his Fitness Talent, but he severely underestimated his own strength, the seemingly simple action ripping a hole through the first and second layers of Space, opening a pathway to the third layer.

The sky rumbled slightly, deep-red Tribulation Clouds forming above his head and quickly striking him with a bolt of Heavenly Lightning. The moment it touched William\'s body, however, the Lightning seemed to shift directions on its own and drill into the ground beneath him.

The Tribulation Clouds dispersed immediately, a bright golden portal opening up far above William\'s head that would allow him to Ascend to the next Realm.

It sucked at William\'s body with great force, wanting to pull him into the portal, but his weight was too much from the Hard Body Talent. Even the Heavens couldn\'t bring him up, and the golden portal was forced to close on its own.

If not for the Gravity Element keeping William from being pulled inside, he would have lost the ability to complete his System Quests right then and there. What more, the System gave another notification that told William this was just the beginning of his troubles.

-The Heavens are interested in the Host: +5 Attention

I knew I was already close to the peak of the World, but I didn\'t expect to be THIS close. I\'m only in the Golden Core Realm! System, can I suppress my strength somehow?

-You can use the Seal Element on yourself, but it probably won\'t have much effect at its current Rank.

William tried the System\'s method, sealing his own speed and strength with Seal Magic, but it was as the System said. He was only able to reduce his physical abilities by five percent or so.

It was enough to move around, but anything faster than a snail\'s pace was too much for the World and he could sense that he would trigger another Tribulation soon.

In that case, I guess now is a better time than ever. System, upgrade my Chaos Affinity.

William planned to take the Chaos upgrade one step at a time, scared that the Legendary Element would have too great an impact on his lifespan and kill him without even realizing it.

-50000 PP

Spells of various Elemental origins were cast from within William\'s body, much like before, except this time they could hardly create a scratch in William\'s skin. His body was incredibly powerful at this point, and even S-Rank Elements weren\'t enough to cause serious damage.

The Fire and Earth Elements, which were both SS-Rank, opened their Domains at the same time and turned the ambient Mana against William, stabbing at him from both inside and out with Earth Spikes while the air turned sauna hot and tried to burn him.

"You\'ve gotta be kidding me, guys. You should know that I\'m very heat resistant." William scoffed at their poor attempt at killing their Master. His words seemed to trigger some negative thoughts from the Elements, as they became even more intent at attacking him, even drawing a little bit of blood here and there.

Regardless, his Regeneration, no... Recovery Talent didn\'t have to do much work, patching up the damages before they could cause any serious harm. In William\'s head, he could slightly sense the condition of his cells, noticing that he was nowhere near the limit of 960 years\' worth of injuries.

Even if the Elements attacked him like this for hours, he would only lose one year of lifespan at most.

The Chaos Element was able to sense William\'s unique and much more powerful condition, condensing into the same shadowy purple and grey figure with pure white eyes that was a spitting image of William.

It opened its mouth and spouted a few words, which were once again inaudible because of the Soun Element. This time, however, the time-slowing effect of his Fitness Talent allowed William to read each syllable of the Chaos Elemental figure\'s lips.

"You. Can. Not. Contain. Me." it said.

"Contain you?" William asked, but no words could leave his throat. The Sound Element seemed to have complete control over his motionless body, which had become much stronger, but the Sound Element was just as effective as before.

The Chaos Element responded to William\'s silent question, mouthing words of its own.

"I\'m. Not. Your. Servant."

"My servant? You\'re my Element, sure, but..." William\'s mouth was forced closed by tendrils of Plant roots before he could finish his sentence. The Chaos Element seemed to become angry as the Time and Death Domains opened, doing their best to age William one year at a time.

-Your age has increased by one: 354 years

Two hours passed in the same stalemate, the only effective Elements doing their best to damage William\'s body, but unable to cause much significant damage before being forced to give up.

Only after a final System Message went through did the unruly Elements finally recede into William\'s body, sealing his Magic ability for an unknown length of time.

-Your age has increased by one: 355 years
