An Extra’s POV

Back when Rey was on the verge of death—facing an enemy he could never hope to beat, the System had to determine the best course of action for him.

He had a lot of good Skills—useful ones even.

His Necromancy, Shapeshifting, Flight, and a bunch of really useful Skills that would come in handy in several important scenarios.

But… none of them would ensure his survival.

Not even the Divine Beast Summon, or any of the other overpowered Skills in his arsenal.

As such, during the assimilation process done by the [Divine Merger] interface, it automatically selected the results that would lead to its host's best interests.

An outcome that would ensure undisputed victory on the part of Rey Skylar.

It was due to this that the 15 Skills were formed.

[Divine Weapon Creation] used the [Divine Blade Summon] as well as Rey's other Skills, such as [Grand Enchanted Weapon Summon], [Grand Item Equip], and a bunch of others for true compatibility.

Then, [Perfect Divine Magic] merged all of Rey's Active Magic-related Skills and combined them with the [Divine Elemental Magic] to form an ultimate Magic-Based Skill.

[Divine Power Ascension] and [Divine Magic Supremacy] were already present in his arsenal, so they weren't tampered with. Perhaps they would have become perfected, but there weren't enough Skills with direct compatibility to them that would ensure a success.

As for the [Perfect Divine Ray] and [Perfect Domain Of The Divine] Skills, the opposite was true. While they were already in the Divine Tier, using a lot of highly compatible Skills—offensive Skills for the former, and Spatial Skills, like [Grand Inventory] and [Absolute Spatial Domain] even sacrificing [Grand Elemental Summon] for the latter—these new Skills was created.

[Perfect Divine Defense] had a similar story, while lower Tier Skills were promoted by adding a bunch of Skills to the mix.

Examples of those were [Perfect Divine Resistance], [Perfect Divine Regeneration], [Perfect Divine Appraisal], and [Perfect Divine Martial Supremacy].

New Skills were also formed from scratch, using the rest of the Skills, as well as the current experiences as a threshold for their growth.

New Skills, like [Perfect Divine Immortality], [Perfect Divine Growth], [Perfect Divine Form], and [Perfect Divine Adaptability] would ensure that the host—Rey Skylar—would not perish as long as his Soul was still kept intact.

He could also continuously grow without a ceiling.

All of this was done by the [Divine Merger] before it downgraded back to its previous Status. The leftover essence of the Skills were fed to [Sacrifice], and were in turn churned out as Stat Points for Rey to use at his disposal.

This would improve his much lacking base Stats, once again ensuring he wouldn't suffer needless pain and humiliation in a battle of mere Stats with most entities.

Since Rey could not cast [Doppel] on himself, there was no way to recover the [Divine Merger] Skill, and with [The Unknown Box] Skill gone—a part of its essence even fed to [Sacrifice], he would never have access to it again.

Perhaps if he kept using [Merger], a natural evolution could occur, but the chances of that were very slim.

That said, was there really any need for concern?

At this point, Rey Skylar possessed fifteen SS-Tier Skills all to himself, breaking the record among the natives of H'Trae for one with most Divine-Tier Skills.
