7. Ruin Resonance : This ability links the Apostle's soul to Thaumiel, the God of Chaos and Destruction. When activated, it channels fragments of divine will, enhancing control over Entropy and granting brief access to godlike perception. However, excessive use may lead to mental destabilization and a loss of self.
[Chaos Physique: A personal Divine talent from Thaumiel himself]
Abilities:
1. Limitless Evolution — The Apostle's body has no fixed growth limit. Each battle, injury, and exertion triggers microscopic entropy adaptations that reconstruct cells to be stronger and more efficient. Growth speed increases exponentially with the level of threat or damage sustained.
2. Regeneration Factor × Entropy Fusion — All physical damage is repaired by converting absorbed entropy into vital energy. Major wounds can heal within minutes, while fatal injuries may mend in moments at higher stages.
3. Thousandfold Veins — Divine veins expand one thousandfold, allowing simultaneous absorption and refinement of various energy types,Mana, Life Force, Elemental Essence, preventing mana overload and ensuring maximum efficiency in energy circulation.
4. Entropy Sensory Field — The Apostle gains full-spectrum sensory enhancement; vision, hearing, smell, touch, and mana perception are magnified by 100 times. This grants "Entropy Sense," enabling the detection of energy distortions, intent, and movement within a 360-degree field. In later stages, perception extends through barriers and dimensional folds.
5. Adaptive Resilience — The cellular structure analyzes and memorizes damage types encountered. After initial exposure to physical, elemental, or spiritual attacks, resistance becomes permanent. Poisons, curses, and diseases are dismantled and converted into strength for future encounters.
6.Chaos Amplification Core — This passive multiplier is linked to environmental destruction; the greater the surrounding Chaos Energy or Entropy present, the stronger the Apostle becomes. All attributes dynamically scale with ambient Entropy density. When synchronized with the Calamity Heart, the Apostle can activate [Chaotic Overdrive], a temporary state of divine empowerment at the cost of extreme sanity, exhaustion and Entropy depletion.
"Wow!" Raizen exclaimed as his jaw dropped wide enough for an egg to fit inside; he let go of his food without a second thought.
"This... this is just too overpowered! I'm not even sure I can handle all these abilities!" Raizen was utterly flabbergasted.
"Both this Calamity Heart and Chaos Physique are simply incredible," he mused while still staring at the system panel in awe.
[ Note : All abilities are are at stage 1. Evolution and synchronization required for advanced abilities ]. The system cold voice sounded.
Raizen snapped back to reality as he processed what the system had just revealed.
Surprisingly, he wasn't too shocked; after all, he was still quite weak. While he could tap into some abilities right away, even at their lower stages, they were incredibly powerful, especially the Limitless Evolution of the Chaos Physique.
This ability meant that he could continuously evolve his body through training, battles, or even injuries. His physique would adapt and grow stronger in response, which was undeniably impressive.
Then there were the Entropy Core and Energy Devourer associated with the Calamity Heart. These two abilities worked seamlessly together; he could devour or extract energy from beings he defeated and store it within the Calamity Heart for later use. The Entropy Core would convert this energy into Entropy Essence, his primary Divine Source.
This setup ensured that he wouldn't run out of energy as long as his absorption rate didn't lag behind his consumption rate. In fact, none of these abilities were weak,they felt almost too good to be true.
Glancing at his status panel again, Raizen noticed a significant boost: thanks to the assimilation of the Calamity Heart and Chaos Physique, his strength had skyrocketed from a 2nd Order Disciple to an 8th Order Disciple,a leap of six Orders.
According to the Elysium Prime Encyclopedia, there are a total of 13 Tiers of strength:
Disciple Tier
Adept Tier
Expert Tier
Master Tier
Archon Tier
Exalted Tier
Saint Tier
Herald Tier
Transcendent Tier
Paragon Tier
Celestial Tier
Ascendant Tier
Demi-God Tier
Each tier consists of nine Orders, each representing deeper mastery and refinement over one's power and essence.
Raizen raised an eyebrow when he saw that his Divine Source was classified as Entropy. It made sense; after all, he was the Apostle of Chaos and Destruction, while Thaumiel embodied those very concepts.
In Elysium Prime, all Ascendri draw their energy from one original source known as Divine Source.
This includes Mana, Life Force, Faith Energy, Demonic Essence, and Bloodline Essence. Each Ascendri can absorb only those types aligned with their Path.
"Hey system," Raizen asked curiously as he examined his Path more closely. "Why does it say my Divine Path is Forbidden?"
["Apostle,Your Divine Path is forbidden because you thrive uniquely in chaos and destruction. You are capable of absorbing Entropy like no other except Thaumiel himself. Additionally, you don't rely on a single Divine Source like others do; instead, you can absorb and convert any type into Entropy. Technically speaking, you exist outside the established rules regarding Divine Source, you are an anomaly."]
Raizen nodded in understanding, a smile spreading across his face. This was great news, he wasn't bound by the Divine Source rules of Elysium, which meant he could absorb any kind of Divine Source he desired.
"This really gives me an edge over the other Apostles! This is fantastic!" He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
According to the Elysium Prime Encyclopedia, there are various ways to gain power, known as Paths. Each Path is linked to a specific Divine Source. For instance, there's the Knight Path and the Mage Path, both drawing from Mana; the Divine Path, which taps into Faith Energy or Blessings; the Abyssal Path, rooted in Demonic Essence; and finally, the Draconic Path, associated with Bloodline or Primordial Bloodline Essence.
Each Path has its own unique Divine Source, and typically no one can absorb more than one unless they find themselves in a rare situation like Raizen's.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Raizen smiled happily and continued eating his meal.
His mood was buoyant,after all, the gifts he had received were simply too incredible to feel anything but joy. The only downside? Being stranded in this godforsaken place.
"I need to start planning for tomorrow," he thought. "It's getting late; I should get some rest and tackle things fresh in the morning!" His mind raced with countless ideas.
The sea breeze tousled his wild black hair as the soothing sound of waves filled the air. On this lonely beach, only the faint flicker of a bonfire illuminated the night sky.
