(RPJ)Chapter 335: At the edge of eternity
🕑 Added 2025-04-10 15:21:44 +0000 UTCI left Hearthome city hurriedly as there was no way at all that the league wasn't going to send some powerhouses to the research center to investigate. That was fine though as I completed both of my current quests with this single heist and only needed to collect the stashed plates to cash in the rewards. Two item tickets, one guaranteed ability ticket, one ability ticket and one evolution token were my reward once I collected those stashed plates. The guaranteed ability ticket and evolution token were the most desirable rewards though.-
The first because there was an ability I wanted as it would perfectly match my time dilation ability and give me a degree of access to both Dialga and Palkia's domains, Spatial manipulation. While I had the minor storage ability that gave me my own sort of pocket dimension and thus a slight edge in space related affinity it was not as direct as time dilation was and thus not on the same level. Once I grab spatial manipulation however this will change as I will have a legitimate hold over both the time and space domains even if it was a minor one.-
I had this theory that ones abilities before one became a god defined what one was the god of and so I was hoping to cover as many powers as possible. I doubted I'd get creation or destruction but there was always the power domain itself that was still unoccupied. As a human originally this would also be fitting in my opinion. I suppose potential and just flat out humanity were also domains I could have as well but those didn't sound nearly as awe inspiring. Whatever the case I was soon to find out as I arrived where I stashed the other plates and both my currently active quests popped at the same time.-
The reaction between the plates once the full collection was brought together was incredible as all of the plates flew out of my bag and hovered above the ground in a circle as an odd thrum of energy pulsated off of them and condensed in the center of this circle. Like reality itself was illusory in the center of the circle a shimmering richly purple strange "flute" manifested. It's main body was a round purple shape with these sort of strange holes with some being flat against the body while other protruded high out of it like mini volcanos.-
At the very back was a bright red pipe however that I assumed was the area you were supposed to blow into. The strange reaction between the plates ceased entirely once this item fully manifested but my breath was caught in my chest as I stared at it with wide eyes and a racing heart. This was the Azure flute that served a single purpose in the games but I understood served a different one in reality. -
In the games if taken to Spear pillar and used it allowed the player to access the plane of existence Arceus itself was in or at the very least the place an avatar of the supreme being was. You could then capture Arceus like any other pokemon but reality was definitely not the same. If my understanding was not wrong the Azure fluted served the purpose of an extended invitation in reality. An offer to meet the creator in person and perhaps even be blessed by it. Obviously my heart was practically beating out of my chest at this idea. Both excitement and in a small part concern as well. -
I had little doubt this was intentionally presented to me and not some automatic function of the plates. Arceus had taken notice of me or perhaps even might be responsible for my appearance in this world to begin with. The plates current inactivity told me as much as I tentatively removed the flute from the circle of plates. There wasn't so much as the slightest abnormal fluctuation from the plates now. I had to admit I was not sure what I should do if anything at all now. Arceus had extended an invitation and I was not foolish enough to reject it outright.-
'I will deal with this situation after I finish using my tickets and token.' I thought seriously as I carefully put away the flute and all the plates not in use by my pokemon. I first started with the two item tickets and got a scope lens and quick powder. The first was an artificial held item that raised critical hit rate which was not useless but also not that great either. The second item was a pouch of strange metallic powder that was a rare species exclusive held item for the Ditto species that improved the speed of the things.-
Useless to me beyond maybe serving as food for Gaia who ate the last pouch I got as well. Next up was the standard ability ticket that summoned the rainbow roulette wheel that spun for a minute before stopping to reveal another entry of x-ray vision. I groaned as the ability took hold in my eyes and blood leaked from the corners of my eyes. The pain thankfully wasn't that bad as the additional stack of the ability over my original one merely improved on the original instead of causing whole new changes to my eyes.-
An it was an incredibly amount of improvement as well as even without using my dragon eye my vision penetrated nearly as deep as it did when I originally obtained the ability with only a single eye this time. Using my dragon eye was even more ridiculous as I got a clear view of everything within several miles in the direction of my gaze. I saw through the horizon and through mountains and millions of tons of earth and stone. With my dragon eye my vision could be considered almost godly in that there was nowhere safe from it within it's range.-
Finally I used the guaranteed ability ticket to grab spatial manipulation. Much like with time dilation the ability caused agonizing changes to my body while my divinity expanded by nearly triple it's previous size. It was like a roaring inferno within me and I instinctively knew I was at the limit of what I could expand it to without qualitatively improving it. Once the changes finished I immediately knew why the increase was so dramatic and could only sigh. Without truly meaning to I had taken in an aspect of all four of the creation pokemons power.
