Chapter 419 Maxed Out
William spent the next two weeks absorbing the Superior Chaos Vein, marking three fully absorbed Superior Veins out of the total twenty-eight.
The weakening from the Karma Element upgrades had ended a few days prior, and William pushed it from SS to SSR, then X-Rank successfully, the only cost being another long period of weakness. Even the Karma Element's consciousness that tried to break free couldn't do anything to his powerful body.
The downside was that in the process of the final two upgrades, William lost his connection with over a thousand people.
Surprisingly, he never lost the Karma Thread attached to his mother in this World, Misha, which was slightly thicker than he expected. Even though he had hardly spent any time with the woman, William's Karma Thread was almost as large as Charlotte's, which made him wonder if it had something to do with the previous William.
William counted the number of Karma Threads in his Space Ring to be 688, then widened the System Panel and looked at the Karma Affinity.

TALENT UPGRADED
Karma Affinity (Mythic): (SSR --> X)
Effects:
-Karma-related Mana Control, Magic Power, and Mana Efficiency +1280% >> +2560%
X-Rank Bonus Effects:
-Domain of Karma: Take complete control over all Karmic Mana within a radius of 50 kilometers >> 100 kilometers. Can be countered by opponents with Karma Domains of greater strength.
-Territory of Karma: An improved Domain, designed to use enemies' negative Karma to inflict damage per second. The stronger the opponents' negative Karma, the more damage the Territory deals. If the opponent has no negative Karma, this Territory has no effect.
-Primary Law of Karma (0.1% comprehension): You don't understand enough of this yet. Comprehend the Karma Element or visit ??? to learn more.
-Karma Elemental: Isolate the Karmic forces and prevent them from affecting your body under most circumstances. In this state, the Host may choose to wash away their negative Karma at any time.
Next rank up: Ascend to unlock the next rank's requirements.

Hmm, this one is a bit situational... William thought as he looked at the Karma Territory. If he was against something like a Demon that had incredibly dense negative karma, this would probably be a great counter to it.
But, if he was facing a member of a righteous organization, the Karma Element wouldn't be useful for much.
Even so, this was an incredibly powerful ability that would be perfect in the right situations. He even had the Karma Elemental Form, which would allow him to wash away his own negative karma at any time.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Karma Mage with the ability to create a Territory in the Celestial Planes, but with the Elemental Form this shouldn't be an issue. William smiled as he looked at the System Panel.
POTENTIAL POINTS: 43,112,082
I have four Element Farms that aren't B-Rank yet, and they cost ten million Points each. I wanted to save these Points for something last-minute, but I think waiting three years to fully comprehend my Elements is actually too long...
X-Rank Bonus Effects:
-Escape Route: When confronted by opponents stronger than you, optimal escape paths will light up in yellow that are only visible to you.
-Master Thief's Wit: Hidden traps will be visible at all times. Does not apply to Arrays above Tier 6 or other methods at the same level.
-Assassin's Sight: You have a keen eye for important targets. For further information, Ascend and unlock the Weak Point Talent.
Next rank up: Ascend to view the next rank's requirements.

Finally, a Talent that helps me steal- I mean grab more loot! I can even use this as a tool to run from anything stronger than me! Though I doubt anything could make me run... William smiled.
Seeing that the Stealth Talent was enhanced made William curious. The Stealth Talent was only Common, and in his opinion, it should be one of the most suitable Talents for merging into Master Thief, but it hadn't.
It was completely separate from the rest, and the System didn't say anything about it.
William decided to ask. System, does the Stealth Talent merge into anything?
-Request requires 3.2 billion Potential Points. Yes/No?
Is there a cheaper option?
-I can omit the things related to the Ascended Realms. Request requires 144 Potential Points. Yes/No?
Sure. That's better
-The Stealth Talent merges with Master Thief, Critical Chance, Fitness, and two other Talents only available after you Ascend. Once merged, they will become a Celestial Talent.
William nodded in understanding. The upgrade path for the Stealth Talent was a bit odd, but he was happy that the System was able to explain the situation to him for cheap.
So, there are Talents that I can only get when I Ascend, huh?
-There are many, but the requirements are different from what you'd expect.
William frowned slightly. He could tell by the System's tone that it meant he wouldn't be able to gain Talents as easily as he was now.
Will the Talent Shop be taken away when I Ascend? William was slightly worried that he would miss out on many things.
-No.
He heaved a sigh of relief, moving on to the Jack Of All Trades Talent before he could forget about it again.
As he opened the description of the Celestial Talent, the message box of the System automatically widened, extending a few meters above William and spreading downward as if someone had unfurled an absurdly long scroll.
