Infinite Potential System

Chapter 409 Cerulea

-Absorbed the Superior Karma Vein: +500 PP

-Karma Element Acquired: +1 PP

Alright! It's been so long since I got a new Magic Affinity! William gleamed as he tried to call Mana of the Karma Element.

-Detected the state of the Karma Element is unusual. Cannot use Karma Element.

What?! Why can't I use it?

-The Karma Element seems to be blocked. Only individuals born with the Element seem able to use it...

Blocked? How can that happen?

-When one creates a World, they also establish its rules. It seems that the creator of this World didn't want unnatural use of the Fate or Karma Element.

-I realized this while you were in the Gravitas Ruins, since granting you both the Fate and Karma Affinities were blocked by the rules of the World. Somehow, even my scan of the World was blocked and it made me believe there were only 27 Elements, not 28.

-I'm updating the System Quests now. It's above my current level but absorbing the Superior Fate Vein should allow you to use both Elements.

"Or what? You're going to tell father? Please." Aegion laughed as he snatched a piece of Royal Spirit Duck leg from Cerulea's plate. He took a bite of the duck, savoring its juicy taste as he walked over to his second sister's seat.

"Have you come to steal my food too, brother?" the star-eyed girl glanced over with infinite grace in her movements.

"Of course not, my lovely sister. You're not as fun." Aegion finished the duck and licked his fingers, setting the clean bone on his second sister's napkin. "But I wonder if you'd be interested in a rumor about a human?"

"A human? What could a human do that interests us? Are you telling me that this human has interested you?" the second sister asked.

"Only the one, but interested me he has!" Aegion raised his goblet animatedly and took another sip, the red wine dribbling down his chin before landing on the table just centimeters away from his second sister's plate.

"Then do tell." the second sister didn't even react to Aegion's obvious intent to annoy her.

"Tch." Aegion frowned. "Very well, his name is William—"

"A boring name. Continue."

"I was!"

The sister went silent, but a light smile crept up on her beautiful lips. +1 for me, hehe.

"His name is William, and he has received—"

"Received what?"

"Damn you!"

+2!

"Continue."

"He has received a Heavenly Mark from our unruly first sister herself!" Aegion announced, finishing off the wine in his goblet with a single swig.

"The Heavenly Mark? From you?" second sister looked at Cerulea with surprise, though it was only shown in her eyes.

Cerulea nodded, "Brother, you've been spying for a while now, haven't you?"

"I have. I won't deny it." Aegion nodded, approaching Cerulea once more and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Which means you know what I know. Are you sure you're going to let him get away with this?"

Cerulea looked at Aegion calmly, her voice low as she said, "I have more to gain than there is to lose."

Aegion nodded multiple times, his head bobbing up and down in an almost rhythmic manner. "But you can still lose a lot." he leaned downward a second time and whispered, "Of course, I can help you if you give me a share. Our old father won't even have to know."
