LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 36: The Trials of Mind and Knowledge
The Trials of Wisdom, Time, and Light
The trials of the gods continued, testing the limits of their intellect and mental fortitude. This time, Minerva, Uranus, and Vishnu each embarked on their respective paths, where their mental and intellectual strength would be put to the ultimate test.
Minerva’s Trial
Minerva (Tomomi Koizumi) entered the secret chamber of an ancient palace, where knowledge and calculation would be her key to victory. Hundreds of ancient texts floated in the air, throwing complex puzzles her way. With her sharp, analytical mind, she processed the flood of information with remarkable speed, as if solving equations in her head.
“So, this is my trial,” she murmured calmly.
Her mind moved like a well-oiled machine, logical and unfazed by emotion. Each problem was approached with precision, and she solved them one after another. When the final book appeared, she furrowed her brow slightly, sensing the complexity, but soon found the thread of logic that would guide her.
“Don’t rush. Knowledge is uncovered through calm analysis,” she reminded herself.
With that thought, the “Orb of Knowledge and Calculation” materialized before her, shining brightly in her hands.
The Powers of the Orb of Knowledge and Calculation
1.Knowledge Absorption: Instantly gathers and analyzes surrounding information, providing a tactical advantage.
2.Precision Calculation: Solves complex mathematical models and strategies in moments, allowing for optimal decisions in critical moments.
3.Future Prediction: The orb can foresee possible futures, helping her choose the best course of action.
4.Knowledge Sharing: Enables Minerva to distribute critical information to her allies, enhancing the collective wisdom and capability of the team.
Uranus’ Trial
Uranus (Sora Morino) ventured into the “Temple of Time,” a place where the flow of time itself was fractured and unstable. His mind constantly buzzed with theories and hypotheses, but even when faced with countless time rifts, he remained unshaken.
“If time is just another dimension, then it must have a solution,” he stated with unwavering confidence.
The chaotic flows of time swirled around him, threatening to engulf him, but Uranus took each step methodically. Eventually, his trial took an unexpected turn when he was confronted by his younger self—a figure from his past that stirred something inside him.
“I can’t let myself be bound by the past.”
He took a deep breath and accepted his past with grace. As soon as he did, the turbulent streams of time calmed, and before him appeared the “Robe of Time and Space.”
The Powers of the Robe of Time and Space
1.Manipulation of Temporal Energy: Grants control over time itself, allowing him to adjust the flow of time in his surroundings.
2.Reversal of Time: Enables Uranus to reverse time within a limited range, giving him the ability to correct past mistakes or avoid attacks.
3.Dimensional Stability: Stabilizes chaotic dimensions, preventing time distortions and keeping the balance between different realities.
Vishnu’s Trial
Vishnu (Li Wenqiang) silently made his way to the “Tower of Photons,” a structure of pure energy. His thoughts remained calm and collected, showing no signs of emotion. Even as he stepped into the labyrinth of dimensions, Vishnu was utterly unshaken.
“The laws of physics remain unchanged. It’s just about how I apply them,” he mused.
Vishnu faced a series of dimensional traps, each more intricate than the last, but he disarmed them with cool efficiency, relying on logic and understanding of the universe. Finally, he came face to face with an infinite array of possible futures. He carefully examined each one, analyzing the outcomes of various paths.
“It’s only logical to choose the best possible future.”
With that, the “Photon Mirror” appeared in his grasp. As it activated, a brilliant light surrounded Vishnu, revealing the boundless possibilities the mirror granted him.
The Powers of the Photon Mirror
1.Dimensional Cutting: Harnesses the power of photons to slice through dimensions, allowing him to traverse parallel worlds instantly.
2.Movement in Frozen Time: Grants Vishnu the ability to act even when time itself is stopped, giving him a distinct edge over his enemies.
3.Photon Teleportation: Allows for instantaneous movement over great distances by using the speed of light, making him nearly impossible to catch.
4.Information Defense: Protects against cyber-attacks and grants the ability to hack into enemy systems, turning their technology against them.
A Test of the Mind and Beyond
With their trials complete, Minerva, Uranus, and Vishnu emerged not only stronger but wiser, each having unlocked a sacred artifact that enhanced their abilities beyond measure. The trials had tested their intellect, willpower, and ability to confront their own fears, but they had emerged victorious, ready to reunite with their fellow gods for the greater battle that lay ahead.
