Earth's Alpha Prime Chapter 84

With a loud thud, the 7-meter tall Troll collapsed and the dust that rose from its fall covered the numerous injuries that were inflicted on its body by 20 of my Wind Clones.

After using the [Wind Clone Barrier] to overwhelm it with numbers, I had Storm Eagle MJ hold it down and incapacitate the Tier-3 Giant Troll, while I injected it with some of my [Blood Venom].

Despite its angry roars, I manipulated the injected venom using Poison Innate Talent and Lv.30[Minor Poison Mastery] that I got from Venomous Scorpion MJ.

My goal was to see if the [Blood Venom] could also act as a neurotoxin, which could cause temporary paralysis.

It took several failed attempts before I finally succeeded in using my blood as a neurotoxin and temporarily paralysed the Giant Troll.

If not for the Giant Troll's abnormal regenerative ability, it would have died from the toxicity of the 'Blood Venom', just like the other Tier-3 monsters that I tested my blood on before.

Following that, I killed the Giant Troll by piercing through its head and heart using the [Stream Wind Sword].

[Lv.43 Giant Troll (High-Phase Tier-3) Killed]

[10750 Life Energy Obtained]

[Congratulations! You have earned an Achievement Title, [High Troll Hunter] (Rare) by killing a Giant of Troll Species.]

[Congratulations! You are the 267th High-Phase Tier-2 Existence in the entire Universe to solo-kill a High-Phase Tier-3 Monster in a full-frontal battle.]

[Due to causing a Universe Level Achievement, you will receive a random grade reward that will be most useful to you at the present moment. The Grade of the reward depends on your Luck Attribute.]

[Due to a request in process, the Universe Level Achievement you achieved shall be converted into 100 Universe Points and be pooled together till it satisfies the exchange value for the Weapon you wished for.]

[Current Universe Points: 2300.]

Without further delay, I activated [LOOT] on the Giant Troll.

[72 Stats Looted]

[Lv.30[Troll Regeneration] (Rare) Looted]

[Lv.30[Troll Regeneration] (Passive): Enhances the user's base regeneration by a factor of 30.]

Ignoring Giant Troll's Grade-4 Earth Innate Talent, I looted its racial Innate Skill.

Before I was able to merge with [Troll Regeneration], Storm Eagle MJ reminded me of my prior appointment, "Master, it's about time."

When I heard that, I immediately checked the time notification on the top left of my vision.

[Alpha Program, Day-6, Time - 11:55:01 (hr:min:sec)]

"Alright, Let's be on our way then. With your flying speed, 5 minutes is more than enough time to reach there."

Since it's almost time for my prior appointment, I didn't merge with [Troll Regeneration] right away and hopped onto Storm Eagle MJ before he took off to the said destination.

With the Grade-9 Wind Innate Talent, Storm Eagle MJ didn't face any air resistance on its way ahead, making it rather comfortable for me to sit.

During the 5 minutes, I recalled my improvements I had in the past two days.

Among them, the main improvement was the looted stats that were added to my [STATUS] every time I exited [INVERSE] mode.

The restriction that held me from using [INVERSE] mode without having at least double my [STATUS]'s overall stats in [LOOTED STATUS], was toned down when I gained 1% comprehension over Origin Energy.

Even the description of [INVERSE] mode changed, saying that I could activate [INVERSE] mode as long as I have more overall stats in [LOOTED STATUS] than my [STATUS].

That was why I was able to use [INVERSE] mode even when I did not have at least double my overall stats in my [STATUS].

Including the 18-hour rest periods of Day-4 and Day-5 and the first 12 hours of Day-6, I had activated [INVERSE] mode 20 times, improving my overall stats in my [STATUS] from 630 to 830.

With that, my estimated level improved from Lv.38 to Lv.50, bringing me to High-Phase Tier-3.

The only problem was that I could at most use the [INVERSE] mode 17 more times. Because, by then, my overall stats in [STATUS] would reach 1000, which would be the same number of overall stats in my [LOOTED STATUS].

After that, I wouldn't be able to enter [INVERSE] mode. At least, not until I manage to break past the 1st limit of the universe.

Aside from that, another improvement that I made was my comprehension of Origin Energy; it reached to 2% in the rest period after Day-5.

Technically, it should have taken a lot more time for me to do that. However, the time needed was drastically shortened down because I had used nearly a thousand Uncommon Grade silver Glaive replicas that MJ had created for me to train [Heaven Breaker] in the past few days.

Upon achieving 2% Mastery over Origin Energy, I was once again taken into the depths of [LOOT] in my Spirit Space and just like last time; I was thrown into a time loop for some unknown period of time.

There, I learned more astonishing facts about Origin Energy. It seems that Origin Energy is anything but ordinary as it was the very first Energy to be born from the creation of the vast cosmos.

Then I realised why any elemental energy or aura that comes in contact with the Origin Energy disperses. It was because all of them were basically a part of Origin Energy.

As long as I achieve enough Mastery over Origin Energy, none of the energies in the existence would be able to harm me.

But, that's not something I could achieve with just 2% Mastery.

As the true origin of all elements and energies, the Mastery of Origin Energy was calibrated differently from the other existing Masteries.

A single percent of Mastery over Origin Energy represents a stage for any other Masteries, meaning that having 2% Mastery over Origin Energy correlates to having a Stage-2 Mastery.

So, as long as I achieve 4% Mastery over Origin Energy, I could break past the 1st Universe Limit, letting me use [INVERSE] mode to its full potential.

Within my Innate Talent's time loop, I learned something called 'Momentary Solidification of Origin Energy'.

It wasn't a skill like [Heaven Breaker], but rather a technique which lets me momentarily solidify Origin Energy into any shape I desire.

The first thing I did after learning it was to solidify Origin Energy into the shape of a glaive and try to use [Heaven Breaker] with it.

But it ended up as a failure because the duration that I could solidify the Origin Energy was only a fraction of a second before that solidified Origin Energy dispersed back into its Energy form.

So, in the last five times I entered [INVERSE] mode, I trained in 'Momentary Solidification of Origin Energy' technique to prolong the duration of the solidification, even if it was for an additional fraction of a second.

Another reason I practiced it was because it was the quickest way to reach the next stage of comprehension over Origin Energy.

Other than slaying High-Phase Tier-3 Monsters and comprehending Origin Energy, I trained the Innate Talent Masteries of my siblings to peak of Stage-3.

Because of the 1st Limit of the Universe, Lv.30 was the maximum extent to which I could bring any of my Masteries.

The key to crossing the 1st Limit lay in turning their Minor Mastery into a Major Mastery, meaning that one had to advance one's Mastery from Stage-3 to Stage-4 (Lv.31 to Lv.40).

But, that was easier said than done, as one had to find the true essence of their own Innate Talent Mastery by themselves, in order to turn a Minor Mastery into a Major one.

Finding the true essence of one's Innate Talent Mastery was not something that could be done by wrecking one's brain over it.

So, I didn't dwell on it and let the time take its course. I just had to wait till I chance upon it.

Over the past two hours, I had been having an odd feeling, as I had received no notifications about monsters dying, and me gaining their life energy and looted stats.

When I first noticed it, I enquired with MJ, and was taken aback to find that it was because there were no more Tier-1 & Tier-2 monsters left in Earth's Trial Zone, as all of them were hunted down by all of MJ's integrated monsters.

Each Trial Zone had 100 Tier-3 monsters, 500 Tier-2 monsters, and 2500 Tier-1 monsters.

But their number didn't matter in front of MJ's integrated monsters, who had the same amount of stats as me.

Since the monsters didn't respawn, Earth's Trial Zone ended up becoming a monster-free zone, in just the first five and half days of the Trial Program, that is, if I didn't consider the Tier-3 monsters that were restricted in the domes. (E/N: RIP other alpha trial participants, as there's no more exp for them)

As for the Trial World rankings, there were several changes in it. After 'Regaz' and 'Drogor', a few others followed them into Tier-3, and that amount continued to rise in the last few days.

Since every Alpha Chosen learned about the restrictions that the System set on the Tier-3 monsters, most of the Alpha Chosen focussed on hunting monsters and improving their levels as much as they could before Day-7.

As a result, I was pushed to the late five hundreds and ranked 584th. Everyone that was ranked above me in the [Trial World Alpha Leaderboard] had reached Tier-3, and all those below me were at Lv.25.

Even though I fell behind in the Alpha Rankings, I was kinda still ranked first, since two of my Party members, Andrea and Min-soo, who received a part of the Life Energy I obtained were now ranked 1st and 2nd, respectively.

If Dante had met his Innate Talent Mastery requirement, he would have been the one ranking first in the [Trial World Alpha Leaderboard], but it was understandable, considering that he has a Unique Category Innate Talent.

Other than Andrea and Min-soo, Olivia was among the top 10 Alpha Rankers, as she stood at 9th position.

If not for the lack of monsters in the Earth's Trial Zone, she might even have been in the top 5.

Aside from those three, Sergei and Brandon also reached Tier-3, and were around mid two hundreds in the Alpha Rankings.

Before I could completely recollect the thoughts on my improvements and the changes that took place in the past few days, Storm Eagle MJ arrived near the destination.

That location was just outside a system restricted dome, where MJ had gathered all the other Earth's Alpha Chosen under my instructions.
