Infinite Potential System

He spread out the nine baby turtles and started their advancement, one upgrade at a time rather than all at once. Their first upgrade was simply a growth phase from baby to fully grown, then the subsequent ones each resulted in a Heavenly Tribulation of their own.

Because William was concealed by the Illusion Domain during the entire process, he didn't have to worry about garnering the Heavens' attention, and he could watch them grow uninterrupted.

After experiencing so many Tribulations, William realized that the Heavens had their own type of Mana, which was very interesting. He didn't understand how it worked, but he was fairly positive that it wasn't one of the standard Elements.

System, how many Elements are there?

-Request requires 1500000 Potential Points. Yes/No?

Hmm, I'll ask a different way. How many Elements are in this World?

-Request requires 6 Potential Points. Yes/No?

Much cheaper, I wonder why. Confirm.

-There are twenty-seven Elements available on Efretta.

-You have the Basic Elements of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, Lightning, and Plant.

-Next are the Rare Elements of Life, Death, Light, Darkness, Poison, Blessing, and Curse.

-The Epic Elements are Necromancy, Blood, Sound, Seal, Summoning, Dream, and Karma.

-The Legendary Elements are Chaos, Gravity, Space, Time, and Illusion.

-And the Mythic Element is Order.

And of those Elements I'm only missing one... Karma. System, since you closed the Random Magic Talents function of the Shop, how am I supposed to get the Karma Element?

-You'll be able to purchase the Karma Element when the System reaches B-Rank.

Why was it locked in the first place? Why not just let me purchase the last one and be done with it? To William, the System's actions didn't make sense.

-You'll naturally know the reason when you have the Karma Element. If you can survive that long, that is.

What can possibly kill me before then? I need less than half a million more Potential Points to reach B-Rank, are you saying that I'm still in danger? William asked.

-There's always someone stronger, just remember that and don't get cocky.

William nodded. He knew the System was warning him out of concern, but he wondered if it was as the System said. So far, he hadn't seen anyone as powerful as the two from the Yu Royal Family, could there even be such a person on Efretta that hadn't Ascended yet, or was there someone else?

If the Heavens could descend to kill their enemies, they probably would have done so by now, right? Though they do seem somewhat prideful, perhaps they can but choose not to because it would be beneath them?

William didn't know. He focused on the Black Turtle Hatchlings and their Heavenly Tribulations, ensuring to heal them whenever anything went wrong.

The System guaranteed that the Beasts would have the strength to undergo their Heavenly Tribulations, but they were newborns and didn't exactly know how to control that power yet.

Other than tanking the hits with their bare bodies and using the inherent Magic Affinity they were born with, the baby turtles didn't know much about anything.

As their rank improved, their understanding of their general abilities increased until they were even more powerful and efficient than the Uncommon-Rarity Plains Vultures. They spat massive bursts of water from their mouths, making "ha!" sounds as the lasers shot towards the incoming Lightning Bolts.

"Where did you learn to do that? I didn't teach you!" William smiled at the Kamei Hamei's as they repeatedly said "Ha!" It was like a scene from an anime, except instead of a monkey-tailed boy powering up, it was a group of turtles blasting Lightning Bolts to smithereens.

By the end of the Tribulations, William was over a hundred thousand Potential Points poorer but he had gained nine reliable Black Turtle Hatchlings in the first stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

He thought about pushing them to the first stage of the Ascension Realm, but the System informed him that doing so would result in their Ascension. At that point, all his efforts would be wasted.

I can help them through their nine Tribulations though, technically, but I'd need to prepare some unique equipment for them to use and it'd be somewhat time-consuming.

William decided it was fine for now. He called over Kamei through the System, who arrived in just a few minutes. Seeing the nine identical turtles of the same race as him and almost the same size, Kamei almost burst into tears.

"I thought I was the only one left... Where did you find them?" he asked as he looked at William.

"I hatched them." William replied simply.

"You... hatched them?" the Black Turtle couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked at William's lower area suspiciously.

"What are you looking at?! I'm not the father!" William shouted upon sensing Kamei's ridiculous thoughts.

Kamei laughed and looked at the turtles that had all gathered before him, "What do you want me to do, Master?"

"You will lead them and eliminate any Beast Tides that appear in this area just like before." William answered.

"Are you planning to absorb World Cores? I already told you it's too dangerous, Master. Even for you. Besides, the other three are just as capable as I am when dealing with the Tides. Why do we need so many?" the turtle asked.

"I'll be assigning them elsewhere, but you will stay. Don't ask any more questions about this." William ordered.

Kamei nodded, though he became worried about the future. What would happen if these World Cores were absorbed, and William died? They'd be left to defend by themselves, and chances of survival at that point would be zero.

"I won't die. I'm better than that." William laughed before assigning Kamei his specific positions.

He spent the next day or so working on a few warehouses where Magical Beast corpses could be stored, even implementing a few Arrays that would preserve their condition and prevent the spread of disease.

As long as he stopped by to clear out the storehouse every few months, there shouldn't be any issue with this setup. He could even farm for Beast materials this way, just like how the Chasm Guards would be gathering resources for him.

"This isn't going to be enough." William realized after mapping out the entire Providence Zone. It had taken eighteen days, but he had finally marked down the locations of all four Superior Veins in the area: the Superior Death, Life, Blessing, and Curse Veins.
