155 Numbers

"Okay I admit, that was a bit too soon, anyway it's like this. In every black man's body. There is a powerful gene. The booty appreciation gene. We don't know how it works or why it does what it does, all we know is that in most black men, it's dominant and reacts to booty. To put it simply, your ass is disgustingly hot."

Adelda wished she could smack him with all her might, but she was ordered to be polite to him, and he was her Master's disciple, so technically she was his servant. But he acted like he didn't know that. Will had over 2 million minds, how could he possibly not analyse all their conversations over and over to understand the relationship dynamics.

But he talked to her like he was a 'mere mortal' while she was just a glorified babysitter for a creature that had the same value to her as an ant 6 years ago, which was like a few weeks ago to an immortal like her.

Adelda sighed, asking the Heavens what she did to deserve such bad luck. She was promoted three whole ranks, something that should have taken her at least 10000 at the very least. But instead of being in the Conquest System Core as the planet's supervisor, she is babysitting this freak of nature.

Adelda wasn't of ordinary origin, even in the world of immortals, but she was young and not much of a cultivator so her clan didn't invest much into her, treating her like an ornament. She, like many other women in immortal noble clans voluntarily work in the conquest system to avoid being forced to marry someone they don't want to. Adelda was no different.

But the conquest in the system was not a mere decoration. The System was run by High-level immortals called administrators. Joining the system means falling under an administrators protection from her clan, but it also meant that her administrator owned her. The only way to become an administrator was to defeat one in their field of speciality. So they were mostly old freaks with ridiculous power who left their clans for their own reasons.

These immortals felt that their mortals needed help while the nobles didn't care. Hence the conquest system was born. To strengthen the mortals and increase the number of non-noble immortals. Although mortals were weak, their sheer numbers guaranteed a one in a trillion talent that can even rise to the rank of a high immortal.

Those called Nobles were those who were descendants of immortals who existed before mortals. Non-nobles were descendants of those who became immortals or the ancestors themselves. Some of the universes greatest powerhouses came from ridiculously humble beginnings.

There was once an immortal administrator who was even famous for it. His name is Srinivasa Ramanujan. Ramanujan was a man who lived on a planet that hadn't even developed metal tools, but some stray fighting cultivators fought. One of them dropped a jade talisman with information on the basics of cultivation technique and the basics of martial arts. The battle resulted in both men cultivators dying.

They were low-level immortals with the lowest level items. These items could only be used by immortal energy so Ramanujan ignored them and cultivation peacefully, barely fighting anyone, until his yuan was so great it was detected by bandit immortals. This event made him more famous because it made Ramanujan a Monarch. This was the title given to a person who killed an immortal as a mortal.

After that battle, he achieved enlightenment under a bodhi tree. He meditated for seven days and broke through to immortality. Within a hundred years he was a high immortal, but due to a tragedy he lost his life, but not before becoming a legend.

Adele was no Ramanujan, she knew that, but Will gave her that feeling. Modus was one of the strictest beings in existence. Everything he does crazy or sane is carefully calculated. Will had no idea just how much effort Modus had put in grooming Will but she knew. That meant Wills talent was that good. Two empyrean intents, enlightenment without causing physical phenomena, the power of truth, the gates of chaos and space and ridiculous talent swordsmanship.

Was he Modus' Ramanujan? Is this why he made Will basically self train himself? To see if he is that talented? It was possible because Modus was a direct descendant of Ramanujan from his mother's side. He was also raised by his mother's clan for a while so it's possible as they have been known to do this.

Modus had told will to become immortal, but the latter set his sights higher. He was going to do something even greater than monarchs.

"Hello? Earth to Adelda?"

"Ehem, excuse me. Will, which techniques are you currently practising in the SSS Manual?"

The SSS Manual had hundreds of complex techniques. The strain of an immortal master mastering one SSS skill to completion was no different from getting a PhD in a natural science. So in simple terms, she was asking what he wants his PhDs were, and also she wanted to know his limit of learning. How many can he learn simultaneously? With his 2000000 plus minds and wisdom, he should at least be able to do four.

To her her surprise, Will was frank and straightforward, "1,2, 8,9, 25, 35, 52, 60 and 7."

Adelda would have had a heart attack if she was mortal.

Odd numbers were attacks. Even Numbers were defense. Prime numbers were special attacks that had support properties, even numbers after prime numbers were defence techniques with support. These were referred to as Secondary Numbers. Multiples of five had domain type skills, those that end with 5 were support while those that ended with zero were defence or attack. Techniques that carried support along with attack or defence were incredibly complex. Not to mention domains.

Not only had Will picked four primes, but he had also chosen three secondaries. Of those, some were domain types increasing the difficulty even further. There were 2 simple techniques chosen but they still added to the pile, but that's not what bothered her most. There was a reason Will placed number 7 last.
