" So you want to visit the slave world for that reason ? " " Yep " Dennis said and her mother knew she had some eyes on it .
" No , you will focus on the banquet instead " " Come on , it's not like we aren't good customers . Plus , you keep good ones because of your gift " " Even so , you will not be going there for that reason , if all you are going to get is a tool to create a legal slave , then you'd better use your time for finding a date "
Dennis thinks about what her Mother said and goes back home ' A lot had happened today and yesterday . And more is going to happen at the banquet ' she only feels that way because she has read so many novels and stories about big things occurring in events like these .
What's more , she had just caused an uproar within the super world and the only way she kept them from asking was that it was her gift . And since she added a condition in their contracts about her gift confidentiality , they couldn't ask more with that , keeping them .
' But still , Willow might bother me more about this , ' she thinks of how Willow came across this idea and asked Deks ' Did you get the information out of her ? ' Dennis felt really bad , but because of what she just learned , she can't drag a close friend deeper than she already has .
' It's almost dinner , say Yeld , can you get us some really good food ? ' later at dinner , Willow looks at all the good food and Dennis is chowing down on all of it on her own .
" You sure are in a good mood " " I want to test how good Mia's gift is and the superpower " ' It feels like yesterday was days to me , probably because I Loaded a lot of time and removed slowpoke '
" Okay , let's eat " Willow grabs some food and Dennis asked " Want me to save the energy you gain ? " " Please and thank you , I plan to gorge myself " Yeld generates a new dish while Dennis said .
" Make sure to eat different food , it will keep your appetite up " Dennis said and Willow felt like Dennis was a bit different " So , about your journey to the field , what did you get ? "
" I got what I wanted , but for some reason I stayed . I tried to get some extra superpowers and eventually I got ejected by a power , which is this " Dennis shows an arrow .
" It's kinda like an omnidirectional dash power , but to create one , I need to have the force readily available , which is where my Savings comes in . I also notice that my Savings have expanded along with the different powers I took . "
" So you got your clone ? " " Yep and a bunch of others , I am assessing what they are and sorting them until I get to use them " ' But rather than getting a lot of superpower , I actually have a mini superpower field that can create any kind of superpower , I have material to create , but not the framework and preferably I would like more '
She already plans to get a steady supply of the material that she got from the fields . But she still has to understand all about the superpowers ' Right now , my knowledge is very limited and my ideas too abstract to come to life . So hopefully there is a superhero nerd among those acquaintances of mine '
She thought about how long it had been since she's seen those familiar people and hoped they won't make things awkward . And it might be possible that she will meet with the tower masters at the banquet .
She felt like the transaction would be much easier now that she has Deks , but still it would be a bother if those sages try to bring her close ' They tried to get me to date someone under them last Saturday , so hopefully there are other kinds of people instead '
She begins to imagine the type of people who will be at the party tomorrow and looks through the names in Savers auto-save files " There really are a lot of people coming "
Dennis starts using the tech that Brain World gave her to display holographic information " You got more courses ? " " Yep , I sent a clone to handle the download , I even submitted the data to them and they were quite thrilled to see it . The AI had to share it with the brain world inhabitants , so I figured that they might try to get close to me , but knowing their culture , they will offer things like a scholarship or a research position and then marriage last , but that's just a prediction of mine "
" You might even attract other people from other worlds too " Dennis swipes the holograms away and asks " From where ? " Willow thinks about the other worlds and said .
" One of them is a world with magic more immense than the ones you visited . It's also where a lot of immigrants come from because magic is so important that those without it or with much less , like Dorn immigrate to other worlds to find more work "
Dennis searched the world and flipped the hologram " You mean this place ? " " Yep , they wouldn't seem to mind technology , but they are very avoidant of Brain world's tech because it's so artificial . Like us elves , they are very interested in nature , they are pretty strict with immigration like my world , but a bit looser because they love variety in their gene pool and technology that isn't too artificial "
" Is that a roundabout way of saying they are going to offer marriage to me ? " Willow nodded and Dennis compared her magic grading with the average of the grading .
" It's noticeably in the high range and I'm sure your mana pool is also being held back by your slowpoke , so realistically speaking , your real regen rate is much higher "
Dennis sighed and looked at the inhabitants " Does magic count as a form of calorie ? Cause there are a lot of bipedal animals here " " Is this because you link the rise of intelligence to walking on two legs and access to nutrition ? " Willow asked .
" Fire did do a lot of digesting for the body and moved all the body's effort to other parts instead " Dennis tries to see if there were theories about how they evolved and then her mind drifted to the possibility of another higher being .
' It wouldn't be wrong to say that was the reason ' at first , she was really glad that her world didn't have it like that , so all their development is influenced solely by society .
But she wondered if the pantheons could be counted as those higher beings . After all , there was the beloved child , but she wondered if she would be able to differentiate the pantheons from the higher beings that she saw .
' Nevertheless , let's just make use of mom's skill . I have a lot of time that I would have trouble trying to get back to normal life ' she thinks of the targets of her observation and sorts them properly .
' First , let's begin with Mana ' after taking a bath and getting to bed , she found herself in her dream self inside Savings . The magic sources she couldn't absorb yet and her own magic source , which has grown a lot .
" Alright , you three , stand back . I will handle this " Dennis removes Slowpoke and gives herself all the acceleration to handle the processing . She then Loads her mother's gift as the time for use starts counting down .
. . .
" I wasted so much time " Dennis had accidentally learned something else , instead of the being possibly behind it " Mana creation , how useful , if I don't have Mana , I can create it on my own with Piko's viscraft "
She remembers gaining the ability to convert mana through Willow's brother and wondered if the mana they have is actually from a higher being ' At very least , I know mine doesn't originate from that , but it does hold some proof that the more effort you put in , the more disconnected a gift is from its origin '
She was already beginning to process information and change targets " Alright , now onto the next one " she looked at the pieces of Vis that had been separated and even converted back to the food it was made from .
She uses the eye and travels back into history through the plant as the lens , which only becomes more vague as she goes further ' Right , I should have expected this much '
She didn't really want to go back outside and eat all of this . Yeld made a note saying "I can turn them back" " You can ? " "Yes" ' Yeld's ability is starting to become something else , but if I think about how they are capable of cooking , then it would make sense for them to do the reverse if eating was also down on the table '
Yeld breaks all the Vis down and stores the impurities like the natural nutrients away in Savings . Dennis looks at the Vis that she has amassed and recalls what her mom texted to her about the Vis dishes .
"Since you wanted variety , I sent them through a chef to cook them for you . Here is the camera so you can use Saver to Save the dishes" and attached was a link to an online camera for Saver to access so that they can get the meals for Dennis .
She drooled , wanting to eat some , but she didn't have that luxury while she was dreaming . She confirmed that all the details of the sources of the ingredients were on an isolated island that Mother's friends helped acquire to send a chef instantly .
She felt gratitude to those friends for keeping up with her demands and wondered how she should treat them tomorrow " I should expect to see the history of the isolated island then "
But before she got there , after Loading the gift , she had to watch the chef cook the dishes ' at least the information is well organized ' but considering her mom's all-seeing eye gift , this is probably something her mother considered when using it to view the past .
Dennis thought of giving up the Saving of her mother's skill so that her mother can give more input on her gift and disconnect it from the origin ' She clearly knows how to give her input in using her gift , but it's a bit hard to view the gift as something separate if it's an organ '
She can't imagine her organs suddenly having the ability to communicate with her and act on their own ' Mom can't even figure out how to switch it on or off ' she thinks Saver gives her mom a switch to flip it on and off , just as Cornish had wished they could do that .
' Although I told Cornish to help with the government in developing that website with Saver behind the functions . I'm still not sure how I can secretly add the switch to turn on an uncontrollable gift . But maybe I can tell him that tomorrow ? '
She drools looking at the food created as she continues to observe the Vis change . Eventually , a different scene was played , like how each ingredient was harvested by the chef .
She watched the Vis channels that the plant was maintaining with the forest get cut off . The animals that were hunted used Vis for simple things like strengthening a body part or developing poison that can cause a malicious effect .
She digested the information , excited to see different ways Vis was used as the Arrow that she acquired from Super world hits the Vis and records how the vis was used based on it's history .
She watches a whole food chain devouring and using Vis against each other as the arrows start branching out , matching with how each animals , plants and organism uses Vis .
The arrows then manifested text showing the chronological use of vis on this pool specifically , as Dennis keeps watching each predator and prey battle . She goes deeper and deeper into history until she reaches a point where all the Vis gather into one pool .
' Wow ' she could see the plants absorb the pool through the roots and the animals drank from it . Dennis could feel some sort of pull that was dragging her close to the pool ' So this must be what the animals sensed when the pool was around '
Dennis looks at the pool and hears voices as the limits of her mother's gift were starting to be pushed , just like when she heard that being's voice " Yes come closer and spread my power "
Dennis's head starts aching as she processes the language that the eldritch being was , it was difficult even with all the translation skills that Deks gave her . But it got more manageable when Deks starts helping her .
She heard more from the higher being " Let me see how well you little beings use my power " ' Again , it's curiosity , but it's a different kind of curiosity than the one in Card world . Although , since this is a long time , this curiosity might've changed '
Dennis wondered why they remained inside ' Maybe they have an advanced curiosity , just like the card being ' Dennis watched one final clip before passing out . The front view seat and the full majesty of the higher being was shown to her .
At first , she was watching from a small part of the higher being , but as the gift extended , she watched how big the being truly was . It was like sitting on a beach and gazing beyond the horizon , but instead of the same old sea . It was like a forest of unfamiliar .
Terrifying to gaze at , but there was more as the seeing eye continues to see . Beyond the horizon of the massive being was more of it , the sight flew around the higher being as if a bird that flew around the world , but this world was breathing and remaining something beyond Dennis .
But Dennis felt a thrill as she watched the terrifying figure enter the planet just as Saver had entered her ' So clearly there really is something that these things want , but is what I have what they want ? '
Dennis couldn't figure it out as she passed out from the information and went to sleep . At midnight , she went to the bathroom after waking up ' My head hurts like crazy '
She recalls the information she just learned , annoyed by how she was going to need to go back in her dream to process the Saved information that Saver got from Super world's higher being .
She calms herself down and first thinks about the information that she just got about the higher being ' First off , that higher being acts a lot like a gift , but on a massive scale '
She got back into bed , thinking about what these higher beings want ' Use their power . That's all I heard from them and from Card being they seemed to have wanted to experiment with a new type of skill slot '
Dennis renamed the card being to just Card and assumed they were developing the skill slots because everyone had a limited skill slot , according to the history she learned of that world .
' It seems like they are taking an interest in development , but if I think about how big they are . It's probably on a massive scale . Meanwhile , higher being in Trad world or Trad likely want to spread their influence slowly so that they can take the pantheon's position , so maybe they might target the beloved child . '
While thinking of their intentions , Dennis simply concludes that these higher beings have different interests ' At least it didn't look like they would jump the gun quickly , Super did let me continue talking while keeping quite which got me time to get that mini superpower field . . . I should call it Arrow '
Dennis goes into the dreaming space and sees her Vis pool completely transformed by Arrow " What ? " she looked at the Arrow that branched into different branches before returning at the end .
" Maybe it looks like that because the Vis originates from one source " Dennis imagined it would be more difficult if the Vis wasn't isolated and since she gained all these Vis from eating , she planned to eat as much as she could from the banquet tomorrow , so she has some material to safely view the higher beings .
' But I only have one useful material left ' Dennis looked at the memory of gazing at the higher being . She remembers gods having incomprehensible thoughts , but hopefully spending more time around people with intelligence can make it easier to understand .
Once again , she equipped her thought acceleration and nervously looked at the knowledge that she had sensed , only for it to be wrapped around in arrows before she could Load the gift .
" Huh " the three gifts appeared , writing to Dennis "It's bigger" "It was smaller" "It might be dangerous" " What happened ? " first Saver pointed out that Dennis did not just try to comprehend the being , but the being also asked her some questions .
" Okay , that could explain why it was letting me answer random questions I came up with , but if it did ask me a question , doesn't that mean it spoke ? " "Yes" Saver pointed at the slowly expanding sphere .
" So those are its questions ? " Dennis asked and the three nodded " If it's expanding , then maybe it's like they gave a small part of themselves that was asking a question "
Dennis wondered if this expanding nature could be because she didn't get the questions asked , but rather a fragment of their curiosity " Ugh , this could be dangerous and I can't exactly get rid of it "
She got close and wondered what the arrow was for and narrowed the target Load of All-seeing eye uses on the arrows ' Questions that make it easy ' she wondered if the Arrow was only able to grab knowledge because of its origin .
She takes a look at the arrows , wondering what they are " These are basically like a concept map , I can create as many as I want , but I have to think with it "
She decided to just duplicate some blanks , which seems to work as the strange superpower she received was basically like skill editor , but instead of using materials to change each other , it leads the changes like a skill tree .
" But even so , even if I have a skill tree like superpower , I still need the skill points to gain the skill . I guess I can use the skills that Deks have , but I'd rather have more variety than just skill points . '
Dennis looks at the Vis that had the arrows and wondered if this Vis arrows had recorded all instances of Vis that the Pool of Vis had been used for ' I mean , it's not bad , it means I can use Vis in different ways , but I have no track of it yet '
She looks at Curiosity and throws blank arrows at it to capture the curiosity and questions so that they can be answered " Some of these are easy to answer " the three gifts look at the question and start throwing in their answers .
"The arrow superpower is a mini superpowerfield" Saver's answer "It's a processing unit that transforms a power into something else" Yeld's "It's a skill tree that connects different abilities and can be applied to other powers as well" Deks's .
The text faded and changed to the answer as it dashed out . Saver and Deks tracked it and saw it going through the world port and reaching the super world and entering the pillar of light without alerting anyone .
" What ? " Deks panicked and asked "I do something wrong ?" " Nono , you only revealed the nature of the arrow " Dennis looked at the curiosity , which had another question and thought .
' This might mean this Curiosity is connected to Super , probably only accepts answers that sufficient ' Dennis looks at the next arrow , wondering how to answer it while the three gifts no longer treat it like some Saturday night quiz show that their grandmother watches .
"How does that girl's affinity work ?" Dennis wrote down a false answer , but it didn't seem to cause the arrow to react " So it has to be a satisfactory answer ? " based on her experience , she wrote "Frequent use" but that wasn't accepted either .
" Variety ? No , interpretation ? Not that either " Dennis kept throwing different words and finally thought of one " Creativity ? " she wasn't sure , but the arrow accepted it as an answer .
Dennis then thought of what this thing actually was and thought of the lie detector that detects the actual truth and not what the person believes in . She looked at the arrow "Is she like the speedsters?"
" Yeld , you try to answer this " Yeld wondered what Dennis meant and wrote no until they wrote yes with a lot of doubts in their mind " Huh , so accepts answers not based on belief but rather what Super views as satisfactory ."
Dennis wonders if this was some advanced form of trivia that will know what the right answer is , as long as you guessed it correctly ' Reminds me of that comedy short . "Can you give me the name of the standard unit of electrical power ? What ? A Watt , that's correct" ' Dennis then laughs at herself and focuses on the curiosity of the higher being while thinking about its nature .
She looked at an arrow with another question and really wanted to confirm its ability to accept answers that are true to the world ' If only they had a one plus one question , but it's not like Yeld doesn't know what one plus one is '
She spent some time and cleared all of the curiosity of the higher being , as the last arrow was sent away ' I learned quite a lot from them , even if some of these questions are asking how to create more superpowers '
She looks at her arrows , which have branched and show how superpowers are connected . She felt that this form looked weird , but accepted it since a concept map for superpowers sounds so basic .
Dennis looks at the superpower Arrow , which had grown thanks to her engagement with Super's questions ' I still need more material though , but maybe there is some useful material that I can find '
Saver brings access to her phone , showing her a website about some illegal compound being seized " S-substance ? " Dennis takes the access and searches for the substance , learning more about it .
' An artificial substance that is extracted from the pillar of light that accesses the Fields . It grants a random superpower for a limited amount of time , aftereffects might last '
Dennis already figured this could be the equivalent of Vis that Super world has to create superpowers ' I'm gonna need some , but the problem is they are ridiculously expensive and if I get some , they will begin to question what kind of superpower I got '
So the only place to get them was through illegal means , but the only one that she has was Famadi , who has not contacted her about the magic source ' Even Piko has been going in and out of the Vis world and no assassin has made contact with her '
She checked on Clive , who has so far been behaving ' Now that I think about it , I bought them , but I had hardly used them ' she thinks of Clive's past as a criminal and figured they have some experience that could beat her understanding that she acquired through fiction .
' But I don't really have time to get the connection , can I ? ' the banquet was tomorrow and it was going to last a whole day " Why " Dennis felt annoyed as she had already run her social battery down from the previous gathering and Saver took out an old downloaded file from her computer .
Yeld created a screen where the TV series was downloaded " You all want to watch ? " they all agreed and Dennis thought about it and sighed " Alright , just for tonight , let's use the time for recreation "
. . .
Next morning , Dennis woke up after watching a marathon ' With Yeld around , I can stay in my gift space for even longer comfortably ' she even had time between breaks to look around and found an arrow battery that was connected to the blackhole .
' It seems like the original way to use this superpower was to store force into this battery ' Dennis could definitely get more superpowers , but the problem was whether it could still be connected to Super .
' Willow already said so herself that there is a chance of reconnecting , so I should be careful about how often I rely on the three and those others , but it doesn't look like I need them afterall , they only make the environment to keep me growing '
But even after assuming that she is safe , she still didn't want the three gifts to reconnect with their original higher being . After all , she liked them as they are " Dennis , do you know how your mom got you into the banquet ? "
" Nope , I don't really care much about these legal processes . Better to use my time in something like practicing or studying " Dennis said as she put on her dress .
The nanomachines wrapped around her arms , enveloping them , acting like armor , while taking the appearance of gold and precious stones . She also adorned her legs with nanomachines , taking the same appearance too .
" You got more " " It was a gift for providing such valuable resources . They were a bit stumped that I didn't accept money because if I did , I'd spend more time in their world and probably officially move to it . But forget that , let's go "
