The Heavens System Subsidiary (I Was Chosen By The Word)

[System], Display [Status]

[Permission granted to continue fusion]

Vincent's curiosity was piqued as he inquired, "Skills can fuse?"

In response, the system explained, "Indeed, the skills [I Can Impose My Will] and [The Word] possess the capability to fuse."

Vincent's eyes widened in disbelief. "What!? How is that even possible? [The Word] is already an overwhelmingly powerful skill, and now you're telling me it can become even stronger?"

Retrieving information from the main system, the AI replied, "Upon analysis, it has been discovered that the skill [The Word] bestowed upon the host has always been incomplete until the acquisition of the skill [I Can Impose My Will]. Now that the host possesses this skill, the system can fuse it with [The Word], thereby completing its power."

The system issued a cautionary warning, stating, "However, I must inform you that allowing the fusion may expose you to external forces."

Intrigued, Vincent inquired, "External forces? What do you mean?"

The system responded, mentioning names like ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, and others. "These are some of the outside forces you may encounter."

Vincent couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Well, that was certainly super useful."

The system then brought up the matter of potential complications, stating, "Once fused, you will become the center head of the universe. However, there may be some complications following the fusion."

Perplexed, Vincent questioned, "Complications? What kind of complications?"

The system clarified, "Due to your current weakness, you are ill-equipped to handle the immense power of [The Word], even in its incomplete form. Therefore, the fusion skill will be sealed, and you will be compensated."

"Sealed? Compensation?" Vincent wondered, seeking further explanation.

The system elaborated, "The main system provides compensation to accommodate unforeseen consequences resulting from future effects that might pose harm to the host. While sealing the skill will cause a decrease in your battle power, you will receive suitable compensation."

"Okay, I think I understand," Vincent said. "In that case, let the fusion commence. I permit you."

"Affirmed. Commencing fusion," confirmed the system.

And thus, the fusion process began.

///// In the Celestial Realm /////

Majestic buildings emitted a formidable light, causing the heavens to tremble, while the ley lines beneath the land drew power from the infinite universe, preparing for the forthcoming events.

Harnessing the first law, the Law of Divine Oneness.

[Akashic Acknowledged.]

[Connecting to the Akashic.]

[Completing Fusion.]

[Fusion Complete.]

[Integrating Fusion.]

[Integrating Skill from Akashic.]

[Warning: Do not open your eyes.]

The Akashic descended upon Vincent, establishing a connection, while the system extracted the skill's knowledge for its interface. Waves of information flowed in during the integration process until the fusion reached its completion.

For a brief moment, Vincent sensed the unimaginable power of [The Word]. He attempted to utilize that power, depleting his ether pool completely and promptly losing consciousness.

Despite being unconscious, the integration continued. To ensure compatibility with the skill, Vincent's soul underwent further assimilation, transforming to support its might.

///// Realm of the Divine /////

All the higher powers fixated their gaze upon Vincent as the system assimilated the skill. Each of them experienced a backlash, causing their respective means of observation to crash.

///// In the Celestial Realm /////

"Brother Uriel," a female angel burst into her brother's abode with an urgent message.

Startled by the forceful entrance, Uriel asked, "Gabriel

, what is the matter?"

Gasping for breath, Gabriel replied, "Th... The Successor, he... he..."

Uriel's voice hardened as he pressed, "Gabriel, what happened to him?"

Gabriel exclaimed, "We have lost sight of him!"

Uriel's response was one of disbelief, "What!"

For the first time in the history of the universe, Heaven failed to locate an individual.

///// ??? /////

Seven enigmatic beings gathered around a round table and engaged in animated discussions. Suddenly, an unfamiliar figure materialized at one of the sides.

The others took this as their cue to promptly leave.

Shortly after, the figure departed.

"Dammit!" the being roared in anger.

[.....]

[I don't quite understand. Is this fortune or misfortune?]

[At the very least, I managed to seal his ether before he could use it. Otherwise...]

[I'm sorry, Vincent, but I cannot permit you to wield it at this moment.]

[Creator, I hope you know what you're doing.]

///// A Day Later /////

Vincent awoke the following day with a splitting headache after fainting from his attempt to utilize his new ability.

"Argh!" he exclaimed, clutching his head in pain.

"What the hell?" Vincent muttered in confusion.

"Am I dead?"

"... Nah, death doesn't feel like this."

"Oh yeah, I tried to use the fused ability, and it completely drained my ether pool."

"This ability is ridiculously overpowering."

"I wonder how long I've been unconscious," he pondered.

"Good morning, host," a sudden blue screen appeared, startling Vincent.

"Ah!" His heart raced. "System, what the hell? You scared the living daylights out of me!"

"That was precisely the intention, host," the system replied.

"Could you please stop calling me 'host'? Just use my name, Vincent."

"I apologize, but I am unable to comply."

"Why not? It's just my name."

"I apologize, but I am unable to comply."

"System, why can't you simply use my name?"

"Because even if I were to do so, you wouldn't receive a starter pack. This isn't a reincarnation novel or anime from your previous world. In this realm, you either grow strong or perish. And in your case, the stakes are even higher."

"Fine, I get it. Don't get your circuits in a twist. You can call me 'host' or whatever helps you sleep at night."

"I do not require sleep."

"Fine, whatever."

"Smartass."

"... So, system, why did I faint?" Vincent inquired.

"You attempted to wield [The Word] while your soul was still undergoing assimilation, despite being warned about its power," the system explained.

"Fine, whatever," Vincent sighed.

A repulsive stench suddenly wafted from his body, causing him to scrunch his face in disgust.

"Ugh, I stink. System, can you guide me to the nearest lake?"

"I'm afraid I cannot," the system replied.

"Huh, why!?"

"It is beyond my capabilities. I am merely a subsidiary, not a know-it-all."

"Seriously?! Sigh, so I have to find a lake in a forest infested with Dark Beasts."

"Negative."

"Huh?"

"During the integration process,

you absorbed 60% of the beasts in the area. That's why you currently have nine tails behind you," the system informed.

"I suggest you check your status," the system recommended.

"I'll check it as soon as I reach the lake."

///// 30 Minutes Later /////

Vincent let out an exasperated sigh.

"I can't believe it took so long to find a lake."

"[Status]," Vincent requested.
