Chapter 495: Perfect Disguise
⟪I have a pill that can help you disguise your appearance, making you invisible to anyone below the Spirit Ascension stage,⟫ Gaia said, knowing it was time to cash in some tower points.
However, just when she said that, Vexthra retrieved a skill book from her space ring and handed it to Kent.
⟪Damn it,⟫ the cosmic loli, who immediately knew the content of the skill book, realised her dream of taking in some tower points was shattered by the beautiful goddess.
"This is the perfect Disguise skill, and yes, that is the name of the skill. It basically allows you to create how you want to look.
Unlike the pills that have limitations, this skill allows you to appear as you want anyone to see you. Even gods will only see the new form you will be taking,"
Vexthra explained the skill, causing Kent to turn and look at the line leading through the entrance of Vasport City.
He knew what must be done, so he started calculating the time he had.
"We have 15 minutes before it reaches our turn. This means I only have 15 hours inside the tower to learn this skill." Kent sighed. "Looks like I will be back soon."
"Go ahead, it's just 15 minutes outside here. I will wait for you," Vexthra said as Kent planted a kiss on her forehead and then vanished back into the tower.
He could easily enter the tower and let Vexthra enter the city, where he would join her. But like Dori said, he was now a fugitive with many hunters after him.
He wouldn't have the peace of mind to spend time with Vexthra if he entered with his true face.
So he had to change.
Thankfully, Vexthra had the best skill to help him disguise his appearance.
Kent appeared in the Sword Tower, where he quickly pressed the skill book against his forehead.
Thanks to the tower and his comprehension speed, this was his way of learning, perhaps the quickest way to learn a skill.
When he pressed the skill book against his forehead, he appeared in a space where thousands of glowing strings, made of runes, could be seen painting the entire space.
The moment he appeared, the strings started to move. Soon, they formed into glowing golden orbs that illuminated the entire space.
Kent had to close his eyes, blocking the bright light from entering them. A few minutes into this, the light exploded, and two large runes appeared in the air, exuding a powerful divine aura.
They translated to 'Perfect Disguise'.
Kent formed a hand seal that caused the runes to move and enter his forehead.
The moment they did, he woke up inside the Sword Tower, feeling a rather powerful control over one aspect of his being: his appearance.
He quickly checked the details of the skill.
⟪Skill Name: Perfect Disguise⟫
⟪Grade: Divine⟫
⟪Rank: SS+⟫
⟪Description: Control how you look, feel, smell, and sound. You are in control of how you want others to see you.
However, you can't take on the look of someone alive and in the same realm as you. Good luck.⟫
"How convenient," Kent smiled, reading the description of the skill.
"Now, who do I want to appear like?" Kent pondered for a few seconds, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I doubt looking like someone from Earth will match the damsel in my arms. Though looking like one of those Korean idols wouldn't be bad."
Kent laughed, remembering those extremely handsome actors he worked with back on Earth.
He was friends with quite a few of them. However, despite having their appearance vivid in his memory, he doesn't feel the urge to look like them.
Kent pondered for another second, and then a new idea popped into his mind.
"This could work. Jest was basically my past self, so it will be like me taking on my old appearance," Kent resolved to that idea instead.
So he went into deep recollection as he activated the skill and started changing his look. The first thing he changed was his eyes.
It changed from purple to silver. Jest had silver eyes that could mesmerise any lady who locked eyes with him. He encountered quite a lot of such ladies.
Though from what Kent had learned of Jest so far, he hadn't shown interest in any lady. Of course, he knew it was only a matter of time before some yandere set her sights on him.
His hair shortened, taking on a dark silver colour. Quite a few strands fell on his left eye, giving him that extremely alluring masculine look.
Then his facial features started to change. His cheekbones sharpened, and while the current him was a handsome brat, Jest was in a league of his own.
In fact, he took on the Jest look when he turned 32, so he was much more mature now and very handsome.
His height moved from 6'3" to 6'4", and even his physique was enhanced. He even changed his clothes to a long, flowing black robe trimmed with deep silver threads.
A thick indigo sash wrapped twice around his waist, embroidered with a crest shaped like a coiled dragon.
Though he wasn't trying to look it, his appearance was that of a swordsman, so he wore a simple leather bracer on his arm. Even his trousers were made of dark leather material.
"This looks more like it," Kent smiled. His voice was still Kent, so he had to fix that, too. Though he can easily speak like Jest, it's best if he changes his voice too to sound like him.
"This looks more like it," he repeated, this time with a voice mimicking that of Jest. He stood up and went ahead to stretch. After getting acquainted with his new look and form, he vanished back into the tower.
He wanted to surprise Vexthra, so he appeared with his back turned to her. This way, she wouldn't recognise him immediately.
"You are 14 minutes early," Vexthra said the moment Kent appeared. This means he spent just an hour inside the tower, or perhaps even less than that.
Kent turned and smiled at her, causing Vexthra to widen her eyes the moment her gaze fell on Kent's face..
"Liking the new look?" Kent asked, seeing the expression in her eyes.
"This look... where did you get this look?" Vexthra asked. It was clear she was taken aback but Kent's appearance.
"Why, do you know this person?" Kent asked, knowing she wouldn't react like that if there wasn't something wrong.
"I don't know where you got this look, but never use it when you get to the Immortal Worlds. This look belongs to someone very important and respected.
All immortals and gods worship him, and every weapon cultivator would kill just to maintain his integrity. They wouldn't let you go freely if they found out you disguised yourself as this person."
"Let me guess, this mysterious person is called Lord Genesis," Kent said, and Vexthra's expression widened further.
"How did you--" Vexthra paused and squinted her eyes. "Don't tell me you are..."
"Well, my dear goddess, I am Jest, no last name. Of course, if you want, you can call me Lord Genesis, or the—"
"Slave Swordsman," Vexthra finished his sentence.
"Nice to meet you..." Kent smiled, causing Vexthra's body to shudder.
