40 'Change of Heart'

Since demons were naturally born with magical abilities, they don't try to even train their abilities as there was no need for such stressful things. They already had stable foundations so why waste such time when they could be toturing someone or something.

As for him, he recieved their advanced knowledge and even managed to assimilate it well enough to even create a new type of magic from the one they knew but he didn't have the foundation they had. He simply had excess bio-energy or simply life energy to power his spells which sort of replaces the foundation.

{Does this mean i should stop trying to decipher the knowledge we gained the event} Queen asked

"I never said that…. So when do i start" Richard said, refusing Queen's request through their psionic link and asking of the latter part out loud

"That is entirely up to you however, when you do start, your schedule and all will be under my control"

"So you simply want to control me?"

"The best way to control someone is to be as benevolent to them as you can while enforcing your will on them and your training with me will be anything but benevolent or merciful" Yao replied

"Huh?... well then i will see you soon… i still run a company" Richard said as he turned

"And we will be expecting you… also i would suggest you revert back to a human body soon…. You may be able to replicate the human body but humanity were created with many blessings that technology no matter how advanced can replicate"

"What does that mean?"

"It is simply a suggestion… the decision is entirely up to you after all it is your decision"

"I'll think about it" Richard replied as he turned back and walked through the door.

Appearing on the other side, Richard found himself standing in front of the New York sanctum as though he never entered the building at all. Looking at it for a bit, Richard saw it slowly fade out of existence but he knew that it was there.

The spell was designed to confuse organic minds and his wasnt exactly organic neither was it synthetic however he could still see the huge unnatural gap that was now where the Sanctum used to be. Normal humans wouldnt even be able to register the existence of the huge gap.

After staring at the empty gap for a few seconds, Richard turned around and entered his car. There was no use for him staying here anymore. He immediately headed back home since his attention wasnt need at the company.

{You're still thinking about what she said} Queen suddenly said interrupting the silence of the car

"Of course, you would bring it up" Richard replied with a sigh

[Well truthfully, I think the body has served it's purpose and truly had no further potential than this... Celestial technology could theoretically improve it but there isn't much we can do to it for now] Queen said as Richard sighed

It would seem that he really put himself inside a well with the Nanocytes body. Of course, he wasn't planning to get rid of it because it didn't have a any room for growth.

The true limit of this body was actually his imagination after all it allowed him copy any ability he wanted. He was basically Rogue or Sync but unlike them, he only needs to draw some blood from the other party.

With his current abilities that can be accomplished even if the other party is Odin or Zeus. However like Queen and Yao had said, he was better off in a more traditionally organic body.

[You know the Omega means is also an options and your basic abilities will be on par with your current body] Queen reminded

"I know, why did the Celestials even create such an overpowered race and what exactly happened them?" Richard asked

The Omega means that Queen was talking about was something they had found within the Celestial Archives.

The Omegas were a race that the Celestials had created in the last multiversal cycle before this one. Richard had no idea what that meant but he did know that The celestials were an eternal race.

Anyway, the Omegas were a race created by the Celestials that seemed no different from the Gods. They possessed abilities such as energy manipulation, matter manipulation, reality warping etc.

They had it all but somehow they don't exist anymore. Richard would have loved to argue it but it was recorded into the Celestial Archives and nothing else was as old to be used as an argument point.

As for how truly powerful they were, it was recorded that they created the Engima force and we're actively involved in the war between the Celestials and the Aspirants though it was only on the defensive and they couldn't really do much to an Aspirant.

Aspirants were celestials but unlike the Colorful ones we were all used to, these ones used their full power and their sole purpose is to conquer and return everything into the hands of the first firmament

Basically any member of the Omega was him but cranked up to eleven. It was painful to realize that the power he initially considered great wasn't really so.
