Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Chapter 267 Impending Doom (Part 4)

?

In a matter of seconds, Raydon swiftly reviewed the information he had acquired, and a realization struck him. The Demugen family's evasion technique was merely a slightly enhanced version of this technique.

''This Wisdom Crystal was discovered by the previous family head of our family from a fallen world many years ago, and he built our current family by using this technique as a foundation during that time. However, over the course of many years, we naturally attempted to enhance this technique in a variety of different ways. But as you can see, this is just a fragmented knowledge of a few techniques combined, and because we never had the base techniques, we were unable to improve it any further, and it has remained a mid-tier technique up until now. '' Samuen shed light on it for Raydon.

Because the fallen worlds were entirely obliterated by the calamities, no written sources or technological advancements were able to survive in those worlds. Therefore, the only way for the item holders to discover the techniques is through these wisdom crystals, which contain the information regarding the supreme technique that the item holders left behind after they passed away.

''Honestly, I had no idea until I read this diary that these crystals only contain supreme techniques, not basic ones, and that they also have incomplete information. So it has caused us to use a flawed technique from the very beginning all these years," Samuen said as he took the crystal Raydon had handed back to him and placed it back into his dimensional storage.

Supreme techniques were not designed to be used by anyone and everyone; rather, item holders were the ones who typically created them by combining multiple techniques to meet their individual requirements. Furthermore, with the addition of the missing information in the crystals, it became evident that the techniques learned by everyone in this world through these crystals were flawed.

"I observed you while you were demonstrating the techniques that comprise this supreme technique in the training room. You named them 'Player Instinct' and 'Godlike Focus,' right? Hahaha, I won't comment on your naming sense, but I can certainly recognize that these two are genuine high-tier techniques that, as far as I know, no one else possesses in this world," Samuen said with a hearty chuckle.

In fact, it was a waste of time and effort for them to try to improve this technique for many years. What they should have done instead was to locate the base techniques that make up this supreme technique and learn them separately. However, this was not a simple task, and in fact, until Raydon showed it to them, they were not even aware that there were two separate techniques that combined to form this uncompleted supreme technique. 

'Looks like he is more familiar with my past than I thought. ' Raydon scowled thoughtfully.  He was taken aback when he discovered that Samuen was aware of the fact that he had made up the names of these two techniques based on his previous life.

"I think I may have said too much," Samuen admitted, noticing Raydon's suspicious gaze. "I suggest you continue reading before we delve any further into the matter."

Raydon went completely silent as he refocused his attention on the diary. He was starting to get an idea as to what exactly this fallen world had to do with his previous life, but before he thought about it any further, he wanted to make sure that his assumption was correct.

<Armed with this newfound understanding, we embarked on the task of reconstructing these techniques, breaking them down into high-tier variations, utilizing our collective knowledge and insights. But, despite devoting countless years to these studies, we were only able to perfect a few techniques that were considered to be of high-tier.

Despite this, it was sufficient for one of the next generation of item holders to advance to the S-Rank.

Because of the arrival of this second S-Rank, the pressure that was placed on us was significantly lessened, and in a relatively short amount of time, we were even able to reclaim some of the lands that we had previously lost. With this as our impetus, we continued to commit more time and energy to the process of discovering additional high-level techniques and passing them on to subsequent generations.

Fortunately, all of our efforts kept paying off. We have been successful in producing 3rd, 4th, and even 5th S-Rank item holders in a relatively short amount of time by teaching many high-tier techniques to the new generations. Because of this, they have become item holders with greater potential and better titles as a result.

The number of S-Rank item holders on our world finally reached hundreds after more than a century, and with the resources these new S-Rank item holders brought to our world from other fallen worlds, A-Rank item holders who had previously believed they had no chance of advancement—including myself—began to advance to S-Rank.

We had regained all the lands we had lost in our world, and we believed we were prepared for any other threats from the outside thanks to the hundreds of powerful S-Ranks and high-tier techniques at our disposal.

Our combined strength quickly reached new heights with the quick rise of SS-Rank item holders, surpassing the already formidable S-Ranks. They overcame the limitations of their forebears by fusing high-tier techniques and discovering original supreme techniques. 

Our progressive policies and the unifying power that propelled the world to steadily increasing levels of strength were the fuel for this incredible progress. 

And finally, at the pinnacle of our accomplishments, a SSS-Rank item holder stood, a symbol of unparalleled mastery and the pinnacle of our collective strength. 

With the appearance of this new SSS-Rank item holder and the demonstration of her power, everyone began to believe that we had finally created a god...

However, our illusions were shattered once again when the system introduced a new concept known as "world wars."

But it wasn't until after we had fought in the First World War that we realized the harsh reality of our ignorance. We were under the impression that the SSS-Rank was the highest possible, but in reality, it wasn't even close. >
