Day 53:

Early Morning-

Rilden slowly woke up on a large bed, and three beauties were asleep on the same bed.

"Hah... Another great morning." Rilden contentedly smiled.

Ever since they broke the ice, Rilden's bed has never been cold again. With the blessing of <Divine Breeder> and his fitness, satisfying three beauties was certainly within his ability. Or rather, if he didn't release enough, he would feel groggy.

The three women also got along well, so Rilden didn't experience any ups and downs. They even cooperated sometimes, making bedtime activities more interesting.

"While I was sleeping, my clones also studied a lot. Good lads." Rilden's smile broadened as he noticed the significant information added to his brain.

In his mind, he saw 28 additional perspectives belonging to his <Psychic Clones>, each studying a different subject. Some from reading, while others through a tired mentor.

This was thanks to Rilden copying <Psychic Link>, <Super Learning>, and <Parallel Processing> from Ozi and <Psychic Cloning> from Skap. During the past ten-odd days, Rilden acquired four more opportunities with 4th-level natural treasures, which he gave to Ozi and Skap. Furthermore, the Equilibrium Tree bore fruit, which Rilden gave Ozi without hesitation. Thanks to this, they each awakened new abilities or strengthened their existing ones.

 

Name: Ozwald Wisecoat
Warrior Realm: Peak Tier 3. Magician Realm: Initial Tier 4
Bloodline: Psychic Sage(Tier 5 Elementless, Psychic Bloodline)
Bloodline Abilities(Tier 4): Psychic Link, Super Learning, Knowledge Projection, Mental Shock, Parallel Processing, 

 

[<Psychic Link>(Tier 4): You can connect to the mind of another, directly translating the meaning of whatever both parties are saying. You can also link several individuals, allowing fluent communication despite language barriers. Additionally, you can control an unresisting target or experience selected sensory input from the target. The accuracy of translation and the number of connected individuals are related to Comprehension, and the range relies on the Magician Tier.]

 

<Psychic Link> gained the ability to control an unresisting target or experience their senses. Alone, this ability was harmless.

 

[<Super Learning>(Tier 4): As the great psychic sage, your ability to learn new information is unparalleled! Passively improves learning and memorization by 5 times. When activated, this effect rises to 20 times. When Psychically Linked to someone, you can also fully understand the meaning behind their teaching. Consumes Mental Strength while activated.]

 

<Super Learning> became 2.5-4 times more powerful. Additionally, Ozi could now understand the meaning behind the intention of the other, significantly improving efficiency.

 

[<Knowledge Projection>(Tier 4): As the great psychic sage, your ability to teach and convey information is second to none. When linked to another, you can channel information to an unresisting target, including textual, visual, and auditory information. Magician Tier determines projection speed, and Knowledge Complexity is determined by Comprehension. Consumes Magic Power and Mental Power. The target's Comprehension determines the limit of information transferred, and they will instinctively stop the projection when they reach their limit. If they are mindshattered, it is possible to overwrite their minds.]

 

This ability was low-key sinister if misused. On one hand, Ozi could teach anyone important information that could take years to master in a matter of hours, including language, academics, fighting, and even magic. Of course, the information transferred was limited to what the other could receive. However, Ozi could also transfer garbage information, flooding someone with utter rubbish, or even imprint false and harmful information. He could even make someone believe they are his most loyal slave!

Of course, that requires someone to have no mental defenses, which is what the following ability gives.

 

[<Mental Shock>(Tier 4): You hammer the mind of another with mental energy, damaging their mental defenses and potentially destroying their mindscape. If the target is mindshattered, they temporarily cannot resist mental invasion until they recover. Magician Tier and Comprehension determine the power. Consumes Magic Power and Mental Strength. You can target anyone you can perceive, regardless of physical distance. Using it on a relatively powerful mind can cause backlash.]

 

With <Mental Shock>, he could shatter the mind of another, removing all mental defenses, making them vulnerable fish on the chopping board. He could then remotely control them or mindwipe them, turning them into slaves. Of course, as stated, it had limits. If Ozi used it on someone of equal or greater power, he would suffer a backlash.

 

[<Parallel Processing>(Tier 4): As the great psychic sage, you can carry out many thought processes for multitasking. You have 5 additional thought processes with 100% of your computing ability. These parallel processes don't require rest, but the main one does. You can split them into sub-processes with less computing power.]

 

Finally, <Parallel Processing> made Ozi into a living hivemind. Previously, Ozi's attention span was limited, but he could focus on multiple fronts due to this ability. It made Ozi into a genuinely dangerous entity.

If not for the limitations of his ability and being a lustful and greedy squirrel without ambitions for power, Rilden might have killed him to prevent future trouble!

But Ozi was not the only one who obtained amazing abilities. Skap also awakened two abilities.

 

Name: Skap
Bloodline: Psychic Warrior(Elementless Psychic Legendary Bloodline)
Bloodline Abilities: Psionic Conditioning, Psionic Physical Empowerment, Psi-Skin, Psi-Weapon, Psychic Cloning
Warrior Realm: Initial Tier 4.
Magician Realm: Intermediate Tier 4.

 

[<Psi-Weapon>(Tier 4): Psychic energy is the weapon of the Psychic Warrior. Forms a psionic energy weapon, able to damage or block solid matter and energy bodies. Alternatively, you can coat an existing weapon to further enhance it. Magician Tier determines size and power, and Comprehension affects malleability and concentration. Consumes Magic Power and Mental Strength.]

 

While an interesting addition, <Psi-Weapon> is a very common ability that other warrior-type bloodlines have in other elements.

Of course, what drew Rilden's attention was the other ability.

 

[<Psychic Cloning>(Tier 4); Psychic Warriors are never alone, being one-man armies. You can form and maintain up to 5 full-powered clones copying your tier(Up to peak tier 4). Each clone has 100% loyalty, combat intelligence, and can follow orders, and each can use <Psionic Conditioning>, <Psionic Empowerment>, <Psi-Skin>, and <Psi-Weapon>. Each clone is immune to physical damage and can passively recover Magic Power and Mental Strength and heal, but is twice as susceptible to psychic damage. Each clone can separate into (Current Tier) weaker clones, a full tier weaker. Cultivation progress through <Psionic Conditioning> is fed back to the primary body, but only in a full-powered state. Forming clones requires massive amounts of Magic Power and Mental Strength, but does not require maintenance. Psychic Clones will collapse if too far away, and the distance is determined by Magician Tier. The combat intelligence of the clones is determined by Comprehension. You can destroy a clone at will or store it inside you when in direct contact.]

 

This ability made Skap worth 6 tier 4 warriors in one. And as he grew more powerful, he could form more clones. By the time he reached the Legendary Tier, he would already have 7 legendary clones! Without risking himself, Skap could send 7 legendary disposable warriors into battle, making him an indispensable asset.

However, these clones had a greater potential in the right hands, which Ozi discovered. Due to being unresisting automatons (With Skap's permission), Ozi could use his <Psychic Link> and <Parallel Processing> to control the <Psychic Clones>, allowing him the ability to use them as his bodies! Skap simply split one of his clones into 24 Tier 1 clones and let Ozi manipulate them, which Ozi controlled with his split parallel processes to efficiently study multiple subjects many times faster. And due to being psychic clones, they were tireless, able to work 24 hours a day without rest. The other 4 clones were kept in full power mode for <Psionic Conditioning>, but Skap allowed Ozi to control two of them as well, letting them be Ozi's bodyguards. And finally, Ozi also taught Skap many things through <Knowledge Projection> as a usage fee, forging a symbiotic relationship.

Learning from this, Rilden copied the four relevant abilities and created five full-powered clones before splitting one of them into 24 Tier 1 clones, controlling them with his new <Parallel Processing>. Within a mere 3 days, Rilden managed to study more things than some would struggle with in three decades! From an unlearned hic, Rilden was comparable to an experienced scholar. He even helped Ozi with translating the files from the ancient civilizations.

And additionally, Rilden had two of four clones fight each other endlessly without using <Psi-Weapon>, allowing him to quickly learn how to fight by literally fighting himself for three days and nights. The other two were now his permanent bodyguards. Furthermore, all of his clones were already equipped with all of Skap's abilities, making them ready-made warriors!

However, Rilden could name several flaws. The clones couldn't inherit blessings and would disappear if Rilden removed <Psychic Cloning>, and they couldn't be controlled without <Psychic Link> and <Parallel Processing>. And if he wanted them to study quickly, he had to use <Super Learning>. This automatically required him to replace all of his bloodlines, save for <Fateless Blood>. This made him somewhat vulnerable since he couldn't use <Precognition>, but since he now had two peak tier 4 bodyguards, it balanced out.

However, except for <Psychic Cloning>, Rilden could immediately switch to other bloodlines without loss, and he could immediately re-establish <Psychic Link> with his clones. So when needed, he could switch the three other abilities.

Aside from these, Rilden acquired many things during these days, especially Atrivia's Love crystals. Even after saving up 15 crystals as gifts and using 8 on Audfrey and Elarose, Rilden had already invested 26 crystals in his field, and 24 in the nymph sisters! In other words, he has already found 73 crystals! By the end of July, the peak of summer, Rilden expects there will be another 20-odd crystals. And by the end of summer, there should be another 40-60 crystals.

With the other opportunities, Rilden found good things that either added to the garden or were tier 4 natural treasures that he gave to the core members. By now, Rilden was already a peak tier 4 warrior. Rilden believed it was only a matter of time before a Tier 5 natural treasure that would help him break through would appear.

Unfortunately, due to their physiology, the Nymph Sisters couldn't promote their tier through regular natural treasures, but only through Atrivia's Love crystals or natural accumulation. But thanks to each eating two more and digesting their gains for a while, they advanced to Tier 4 yesterday! Thanks to this, they were confident they could help the Tier 3 plants mutate to Tier 4 soon.

"Hah... this is the best. Now this is totally in line with my idea of relaxing while profiting. Now, let's see what the <Daily Prophet> has in store for today." Rilden happily thought.

Temporarily switching <Super Learning> with the <Daily Prophet> that recovered its charges, Rilden activated the ability.

 

[<Daily Prophet> activated.]

[There is an Atrivia's Love forming in—]

[There is an Atrivia's Love forming in—]

[+7 Good Luck! Another Atrivia's Love would luckily form nearby in—]

 

"Nice! Can't say no to more of these babies." Rilden thought before looking at the fourth prophecy.

 

[+7 Good Luck! A mutated plum tree in the forest has experienced a violent mutation this morning and gained sentience, becoming a peak tier 4 Plum Treant! The plums growing on the sentient tree are tier 4 natural treasures, able to raise Warrior and Magician tiers, but it can only yield 1 annually in the wild, and currently has none growing on it. However, if you send the nymph sisters to recruit it, it would eagerly join your divine garden, becoming a free guardian that can grow stronger and produce several plums every month! And don't worry, Emerli can help transplant it.]

 

"Jackpot!" Rilden grinned, subconsciously clenching his hand on elastic material.

"Mmm..." 

"Hn..."

Elarose and Astrid both moaned slightly, having their bare rears squeezed.

"Ah... oops." Rilden quickly unclenched, not wanting to disturb them (Yet).

And then, he checked the 5th prophecy. This time, it was different than usual.

 

[Your grand wedding is tomorrow, and many new and old faces will arrive today. Among them, the legendary True Prince Spence Erebium and High Prince Auti will represent their respective superpowers, guarded by two legendary guardians each. They will immediately notice your Divine Garden and figure that you have a knack for finding natural treasures, but would not dare covet it due to not wanting to antagonize several Ancient Greater Gods of humanity and their heroes, so feel free to reveal this information when trading with them (They will appreciate your honesty). They will also try extending an olive branch to you, hoping you will join their major force, but accepting either would offend the other and tie you to their force, which would also inevitably break the gentle balance, leading to the war between them escalating, weakening the human race as a whole! The best approach is to refuse them both, continuing the delicate status quo.

Once that is done, after giving them worthy gifts and earning their friendship and promises of aid, they will each present a princess (And two epic handmaidens each!) as a special ambassador. It would be in your best interest to warmly accept them and meet all their demands and requirements, even if they might initially appear strange at first glance. But do note that, while they will agree to passively defend a limited area in your territory if you are invaded, they will not listen to any of your orders and would flee if the situation is too dire. Unless, of course, you earn their loyalty.]

 

"Okay, staying neutral it is. But princesses as ambassadors, hah? They take me very seriously to go that far." Rilden thought. But then, he noticed the strange details. "Wait, strange? Why? Are they sending weirdos?"

With the temporarily unsolvable mystery, Rilden shook his head and gave the signal to his clones to convey the information to the relevant parties without going out of bed, sending Nefstein and the other stooges on a treasure hunt, while informing the nymph sisters to pick up a new friend.

"Well, now that is done... Time for some morning activities." Rilden smirked, his hands becoming naughty.

"Mmm... Husband, so energetic in the morning?" Elarose softly moaned.

"Hah... Darling, you are insatiable..." Astrid also moaned, but didn't reject it.

"Hua...? Are we having a morning session again?" Audfrey, who was away from Rilden's grabby hands, asked, yawning and stretching

"Yes, are you against it?" Rilden asked, his hands not stopping.

"No... but we better not do it too much. We have guests coming soon." Elarose said, her hand reaching under the blanket to Rilden Junior.

"Yes, no more than one... two rounds each," Astrid hesitantly added while her hands were also getting busy, knowing the prowess of her man.

"Hehe! Sister Astrid, that might not be enough." Audfrey chuckled, crawling over her.

"Now this is what I call a good morning." Rilden happily thought.

Soon, the room descended to debauchery.
