Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Everyone began to work hard on the black steel that they had obtained. Although they had a lot of materials, they couldn't waste them, so they worked carefully. Actually, they didn't have any other option aside from being patient since only high-level attacks, spells, and weapons could dent the black steel. So, only a few individuals were able to help with the forging process.

This time, Rain didn't disappear… he just meditated at the top of a mountain, and then when his mana was full, he would walk around the people of the camp and then make copies of the weapons for the people who received the dark metal weapons.

Naturally, his creations didn't have any use… when people tried to check their attack power, they frowned since they couldn't even feel the blades of the weapons on their own skin… even though they could feel their weight.

"Those things consume one hundred thousand points of mana… isn't that insane?" Elisabetha asked. "As for their use..."

"You can say that," Rain said. "Still, considering my mana pool and the fact that Scholar's Insight is leveling up pretty fast, too, this isn't much of a problem. The real problem is the number of people here that I will have to make weapons for."

Although that was only a small percentage of his mana, I feel people had that much mana, so Rain couldn't borrow theirs… they were already using their mana to fill the mana gems for when they needed to move to the next mission, so it couldn't be helped.

"My mana pool is increasing quite fast with all those mastered paths," Rain thought while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Still, it will be better if I take some extra mana daily to level up Scholar's Insight. That will make the bonuses of the paths even more useful, after all."

Polymath's Path Lv 90 (Wisdom + 30 per level.)

Scholar's Insight was part of the Polymath's path, and soon enough, it would reach level max… Rain hoped that the next path unlocked in that field would grant him another skill like that, but that was too convenient, and nothing good would come out of receiving things easily like that…

"It is getting hard to focus on maxing out the paths with all those new paths," Rain thought. "The overseer sure is annoying… we are helping him obtain this much knowledge, but he is still on the fence between us and the dragon god."

Rain understood the reason behind the overseer's indecisiveness, recognizing the significant impact of the dragon god's influence on the system. The dragon god's creating numerous new paths within the system had far-reaching consequences, including the acquisition of powerful abilities such as the ability to summon meteors like rain.

The dragon god's powers presented a formidable challenge for Rain and his allies as they grappled with the implications of these developments. The ability to summon meteors represented just one example of the vast array of abilities now at the dragon god's disposal, highlighting the scale of the threat they faced.

In light of these developments, Rain understood the overseer's dilemma. The dragon god's actions had fundamentally altered the balance of power within the system, creating uncertainty and instability that made it difficult for the overseer to choose a side definitively.

"Even after all this, it seems that the dragon god is ahead of us," Rain said when he returned to his pocket dimension and then found that the area had expanded a lot.

There were countless blue tables in Rain's pocket dimension now, and resting on them, there were several weapons that were almost disappearing while emitting a faint light. On the other side of the pocket dimension, Rain could see a bunch of creatures there chained. Their shapes and sizes were all different, but all of them had a core in the middle of their chest.

They were all of the lords that Rain had defeated in the prison… Rain used the mana produced by the cores to restore their forms, but their powers were completely sealed… until they decided to cooperate with him, they would live as mana batteries.

"How do you do, fellow kids?" Rain asked. "Are things rad like usual?"

The lords only silently glared at Rain… only a few of them didn't do that. Those were Hardt and the winged creature that Rain had defeated in the previous life. Rain didn't trust Hardt even though he had cooperated a lot, and he didn't feel like asking for more since having his body back was already pretty good.

As for the other guy, they had been freed from the control of the machine gods, but they didn't feel like allying themselves with Rain since they knew that his battle was an impossible one.

"I am here to ask you a few questions," Rain said. "You can cooperate with me and answer them without suffering too much, or you can cooperate with me after suffering a lot. Your choice."

Level 75: Nullification Nexus - Creates a nexus of nullification that neutralizes all forms of magic and energy within its radius, rendering them inert and harmless.

Thanks to this skill of the sealed one's path, no one of the lords could use any magic or muster any strength, so defying Rain was impossible. Moreover, their own mana was feeding the spell…

"... What do you want to know?" The winged creature said.
