Chapter 329: 329: Godspeed
The other 5 abilities are called Godspeed, which is the platinum active ability. Then the other 4 were Aurelion Dark Bolt, Dawn of the Unknown Universe, Greater Resize, and Thunderstorm Domain. The last 4 were gold active ability. So, Caleb clicked the description of Godspeed, the only platinum ability that Voli possessed. Godspeed, lets the user enter a state of absolute speed. Voli is an incarnation of lightning and thunder. It lets Voli stimulate his lightning power and tap on one of the characteristics of lightning which is speed. Godspeed brings processing speed to a terrible degree. It is the lightning that enhances the overall speed, moves as fast as lightning, and processes lightning-fast things. 'Oh, so this is the effect of this ability. No wonder it is platinum.' Caleb did not know how the ability works even after he read the description.
It only mentions that it uses Voli's lightning power to increase his own speed by boosting the synapses and motor abilities, reflexes, and so on.
He doesn't care about the principles as long as the effect proves to be really what it says. He doesn't doubt the description of the Fusion System at all. It's not like the Time Slime that commits errors here and there.
No, the Fusion System seems to have an advanced AI, unlike the Time Slime which needs improvement on its dumb software. However, the ability of the Time Slime is still very powerful. Powerful to a degree that no one can imagine. Tapping the River of Time, it's an ability that is unique to the Time Slime and can't be replicated. So, they have their own advantages and disadvantages. As for the other abilities, the Aurelion Dark Bolt seems to be an offensive ability and strong at that. Worthy of being gold quality. Dawn of the Unknown Universe. Caleb feels that it's an overbearing name to have for an ability. The effect, well, it needs to be seen because the description of it only gives information that one can't even imagine. Greater Resize. It allows Voli to change his size to a certain degree. Increase his height or decrease his height.
So, that's Greater Resize. Once Voli increases his height or the size of his body to the level of a mountain, his strength won't proportionally increase with the change of his body size including his speed. They won't increase or decrease.
They would be the same as when he was in his original size. Yes, it doesn't conform to logic or physics at all. After all, the bigger the mass, the heavier it is supposed to be, right? However, the good thing is, that even if Voli decreased his size to that of a puppy, his strength and speed would still be the same as his original size. So, even in his puppy form, he was as dangerous as before. It's a deceiving skill that would come in handy in certain situations that would prove to be useful.
Now that he fully understood his companion's list of abilities, both passives and actives, Caleb was already satisfied and decided that it was time to return to their mansion. "Hey buddy, wake up! I will introduce you to my family. I'm sure they would like you. You should behave, okay? Don't cause trouble for me."
Caleb smiled.
Voli opened his eyes and looked confusedly at his surroundings. Then when he saw his master, it let out a happy growl.
Voli rubbed his head at Caleb's forearm. "You like rubbing your head to me, aren't you? Well, just don't cause trouble, understand? Be obedient like what you're doing now and you'll just be fine."
Still, how the fuck should I bring you to the family with your form? Won't you scare my mom and brothers to death? Volley looked at his master innocently, as if he did not know what his master was spouting about. So Caleb shook his head and smiled." You have a greater size, you know. I think you should at least decrease your size, so you won't scare other people when you're with me. At least it will make you much cuter to other people's perception if you're not in that size."
Johan chuckled. After all, Voli was just too big. "Voli, V-O-L-I. That's the spelling of your name, okay?"
Voli, as if he understood his master's assignment to him, started to get smaller and smaller, visible to the naked eye. Therefore, his whole stature and his head became that of a puppy. He doesn't look as fearsome anymore compared to his original size. Caleb looked impressed with the greater resize skill. How convenient!
Voli jumped on Johan's shoulder with ease and just looked at his master with pride as if what he did was something amazing and worthy of praise.
Johan wasn't stingy with compliments. "That's right, you did a good job, my friend."
Johan patted Volley's back and with that, they can finally go to their mansion and he can now introduce Voli to his mother, father, Delvin, and Klein without giving them a heart attack.
Two hours later, Volley and Caleb arrived at the mansion in tow. He looked at the wide gate and the dozens of bodyguards that were walking around in circles with sharp gazes and vigilant expressions on their faces.
"You guys work hard."
"Master Johan, you're finally here. Your mother is looking for you. She even contacted one of your professors to inquire about your whereabouts, but you're not in the school and you're not even anywhere that you usually go to. Where did you go?" The captain of the guard looked at their young master with a startled expression.
Then, a weird thought popped up in his mind. 'Did the young master actually go to the red district or club? Well, I can't blame him though. He's already at that age. Maybe he was curious about it and decided to try?'
As the head guard thought of this, a knowing smile appeared on his face and he gave Johan a meaningful look.
"What are you thinking about? No, you're wrong. I did not go anywhere or to the place that you're thinking."
As an old veteran, Johan knew the expression on the guard instantly. "It's not something like that okay. I'm still a teenager. This is my buddy and I'm just here to introduce him to my family. So, don't talk nonsense."
Voli, who was on Caleb's shoulder looked at the guards with wonder.
