SSS Awakening: Starting With Infinite Soul Copy

[No, it’s not possible to copy the Infinity Eyes as it’s not an awakened soul.]

[It’s a special organ that Zeras was fortunate enough to possess]

It explained to him.

’So I’m naturally doomed to inferiority then.’

To that thought, the system flashed.

[Actually, you have no reason to be worried about the Infinity Eyes.]

It said, though the comfort didn’t quite reach White.

"I shouldn’t be worried about someone capable of turning my own essence energy against me and deactivating my techniques before they’re fully formed?"

[Yes. You shouldn’t be worried.]

It repeated, and it made White pause before he asked suspiciously.

"What is it you’re not telling me?"

[You have something that counters Infinity Eyes]

"And that is?"

[Ability upgrades.]

It said, and White paused, listening attentively.

[You can upgrade your skills, which in a way gets rid of you needing to meditate and practice endlessly to get good at your skills, whilst also getting rid of limitations, but that’s not all your ability upgrade card does.]

"Really? What else does it do?"

[It can evolve your skills.]

"Huh?"

[There’s a cap to skills, White.]

[Eventually, Limitless Body will reach its peak maximum level. The maximum level of its comprehension.]

[But while most awakeners will be unable to pass that level, since it’s technically the peak of it, ability upgrade cards do something unique.]

[Once you reach the peak of a skill, instead of that being the end, ability upgrade cards evolve the skill instead into a different but more powerful origin.]

[So one day, and with enough level-ups, you might just get your Limitless Collapse skill to become a completely different yet absolutely unique skill.]

"That’s good, but... how does it stop the Infinity Eyes?"

[I reckon that the Infinity Eyes can forcefully override other Limitless skills simply because it taps into a power that is similar to Limitless but also a step above it.]

It said, and White’s head buzzed before coming to the realization that made his eyes widen

"Infinity Energy!?"

[Like an upgraded version of the Limitless Energy, and what the Infinity Eyes does is simply allow the user to tap into this higher energy, making their essence more potent than normal Limitless energy and even suppressing it.]

[Once you level up Limitless Collapse or any of your Limitless skills to the absolute peak and you evolve them, you will gain access to that higher energy.]

"With that, his suppression won’t be able to work on me since technically we both now possess an energy on the same hierarchy of power."

White completed.

[And unlike Zeras, who still uses the normal Limitless skills just backed by a higher energy.]

[You will have access to a completely different skill that has not only been improved but also been backed by the same higher energy.]

[So, if you want to counter Infinity Eyes, there’s only one thing to do.]

"Evolve my Limitless Skills."

Ability upgrade cards were a good aspect of the system’s power.

White knew that when he was able to upgrade Limitless Body from level 1 to level 2, getting rid of the specific body part limitation.

But ever since, he hadn’t really placed his attention on it that much.

In fact, his upgrading of Limitless Collapse was due to fighting Gustav and needing Limitless Collapse to be at a higher power.

If he never needed that, Limitless Collapse would probably still be at Level 1.

But now, learning that upgrading his skill was the way to counter one with Infinity Eyes, allowing him a source of energy that was even greater than the base Limitless energy, it forced his brain to hold it in more importance.

Having access to such an energy wasn’t just about not being suppressed by Zeras.

That meant he could suppress those with Limitless energy.

Limitless energy, the power of one of the Big Four Families.

They were Families that were at the absolute peak of power on Earth, yet he would be able to suppress them by simply leveling his skill up until the point that they completely evolve.

That massively increased the importance of the ability upgrade card to White as he sat back up and, without wasting any more time, began,

"Activate System Interface."

White mused, noting the increase.

[How does the host wish to use Attribute Points?]

It asked, and White replied.

"Add 20 points to Strength, 20 points to Agility, and 24 points to Spirit."

The second he ordered that, he could feel that familiar intoxicating feeling as warm, yet equally cold energy pulses swam across every inch of his cells, filling them with exhilaration and making them stronger.

And of course, it was as fleeting as ever, disappearing as quickly as it came.

[Points Successfully Inputted.]

[Skills and Abilities]

As White read through his skills and abilities, his eyes narrowed as something quietly occurred to him, and that was,

If he needed to upgrade his skills and evolve them, what level of upgrade would they have to be to reach their peak, and with the next upgrade leading to an evolution?

Level 5?

10?

100?
