__________

In the Elemental section, Fire, Water, Wind and Earth Masteries had improvements, whereas the Darkness Mastery stayed the same.

The new mastery I gained was the Lv.10[Minor Wood Mastery] when Shadow Leopard MJ killed a few plant type Tier-1 monsters.

I also merged with the Grade-2[Wood Innate Talent].

Coming to the Weapon section, Dagger Mastery improved but what caught my attention was the Lv.30[Minor Glaive Mastery].

Typically, to gain and improve Weapon Mastery, one needs to train using a respective Spirit Equipment.

But I reached the maximum of [Minor Glaive Mastery] just from watching the previous host of [LOOT] train with his Silver Glaive in the time loop.

Any Minor Mastery could reach Lv.30 at maximum and beyond that was Major Mastery of that respective element.

This is where the 1st Limit of the Universe comes into place. To overcome that, those who reached Lv.30 in their respective Minor Mastery need to comprehend a certain level of essence without the respective training methods that the System usually provides.

For Weapon Mastery, It was a bit different since one had to bring three Minor Masteries of a similar weapon type to Lv.30 and choose one of them to turn into a Major Mastery.

That was why MJ suggested that I first train in any three Sword related Masteries when I intended to train in the Mastery of other weapons.

But since I learned Origin Energy's defensive ability, I didn't continue to train in the [Greatsword Mastery] anymore.

As for the Mastery of the Variant Innate Talent, [Precision], I was able to increase it's Mastery levels without even having to train in it since that Variant Innate Talent's ability gives me a passive effect of extreme preciseness in every single action I make.

By merging with the Looted Masteries, It took me less than half an hour to learn those that would have taken me half a day to learn.

Meanwhile, I recovered from the weakened state that comes after exiting [INVERSE] mode.

Intending to gain higher mastery in Origin Energy using the Time loop, I also tried to re-enter [LOOT] that was located at the centre of my Spirit Space in the form of a golf ball-sized Orb.

But that didn't work like I assumed it to be, and instead of that, a notification appeared in front of me saying that my comprehension of Origin Energy's essence was not high enough.

So, I intended to train with Origin Energy during those 25 mins duration of the [INVERSE] mode, but there were still another 4 hours before it's cooldown ends.

I also learned that instead of the usual 5* Looted Stats, 10* of them were transferred from [LOOTED STATUS] to [STATUS] when I exited [INVERSE] mode.

With that, every time I exit [INVERSE] mode, it's the same as me gaining a level in Tier-2.

I assumed that it might be a benefit of gaining Mastery in Origin Energy.

After that, I interrupted Dante, who was training in Dagger Mastery and gave him two Lesser Stamina Fruits to take him along with me and power level him.

Even though the [INVERSE] mode's cooldown didn't end, that didn't bother me since there no Tier-3 monsters would appear before the start of Day-7.

As for the Origin Energy's abilities that I displayed in front of Dante, I didn't worry about it since he couldn't remember anything about Origin Energy due to the [Mask of Nihility]'s ability.

After a few minutes, when we were just about to exit the Underground Maze entrance, I felt the change within my Unique Innate Talent [LOOT].

In the next second, it reacted by itself and sent a powerful Origin Energy shockwave.

That shockwave didn't just stay within the bounds of my Spirit Space; and instead, it spread out like a sonic boom with me as the centre.

It didn't cause any explosion nor any visual damage to the surroundings.

But, when it hit Dante, his face turned pale as he spurted out blood before falling to the ground on all fours.

I helped him get up, and Dante spoke to me in a weak tone that he received a notification saying that some Unknown energy hit him and that he will be in a weakened state for a minute.

I used [Analyse] on him and found that all the Stats in his [STATUS] were halved along with all the abilities related to his Innate Talent, [FATE INTERVENTION].

I didn't know why [LOOT] reacted in such a violent manner. Then, I heard MJ's urgent voice in my head, "Master, I think I know the reason for what happened just now."

After learning what happened, I didn't know whether I would laugh or cry if my emotions weren't suppressed by [Harmony].

Back when I told Hobgoblin MJ to save Andrea from the monsters, I instructed him to make a domineering appearance so that they would fear him and wouldn't mess with me in the future.

With Hobgoblin MJ's performance, a seed of fear was placed in their hearts, and I got the result I wanted. So, I praised him for that, except for his lame poetic sense.

When Olivia just completed her Tier-2 Evolution, MJ's childish mentality kicked in along with his need to be praised by me.

So, he activated Tier Suppression as he put on the best ferocious expression, he could display to exert dominance.

For obvious reasons, that didn't go as Hobgoblin MJ planned since she mistook him as a monster that was about to attack her and used the ability of her Innate Talent [SOUL EYES] and tried to control MJ's soul.

Since MJ's Soul was basically a part of mine, it was protected by the [LOOT] itself.

With Olivia trying to control his soul, my Innate Talent sent an Origin Energy shockwave as retaliation.

Thus, ending up in this situation.

I didn't blame her since anyone would act in self-defence if they come across a monster that tries to attack them.

After that, I had Hobgoblin MJ share his senses with me. Since Hobgoblin MJ's soul is a part of mine, he wasn't affected by the shockwave of Origin Energy.

Through the shared senses, I could tell that the shockwave reached Hobgoblin MJ's location, which was 23 km away from me.

That wasn't the end as the shockwave even reached Shadow Leopard MJ that was 47 km away from me.

It was safe to assume the shockwave covered the entire Trial Zone.

Due to the Origin Energy Shockwave, Andrea and Kasim were in the same condition as Dante. Sergei was a little well off since he was not lying on the ground as them.

Since the target of the shockwave was Olivia, her condition was way worse as she bled through her ears, nose and eyes before going unconscious.

While she was unconscious, her complexion turned paler and paler for every passing second, and her body began to shrivel at a slow pace.

I looked at her [STATUS] and found that the Stats in all of her 5 main Attributes continued to decrease.

Unlike the others, she didn't just go into a 1-minute long weakened period; and Instead, she lost her Stats permanently.

Beside her Innate Talent, It was shown that unknown energy is disintegrating [SOUL EYES] and that process was already at 64%.

Even though MJ was an A.I, he still has the childish mentality of my younger self at his core.

Looking at her tragic appearance, MJ felt guilty since he was an indirect cause for her current condition and pleaded with me to help her.

Even though I couldn't sense any of my emotions in a state of harmony, I could still feel MJ's anxiety and sadness through our soul connection.

I wasn't sure if I could save Olivia, but I gave it a shot.

From the moment when I shared my senses with Hobgoblin MJ, I sensed the volatile Origin Energy within her consciousness.

I had Hobgoblin MJ move closer and placed his hand over her forehead, and with him as a medium, I sent my consciousness into Olivia's Spirit Space.

Her Spirit Space was filled with fractures and within its centre was a huge golden sphere, which slowly disintegrated as the silver-coloured chains continued to squeeze it.

Every lifeform's Innate Talent was integrated with their soul. So, destroying one's Innate Talent was the same as ending one's soul.

To save her, I had to stop the chains of Origin Energy from destroying her Innate Talent.

But the problem is that I couldn't control Origin Energy without being in the [INVERSE] mode.

Still, I tried to control Origin Energy, but that didn't work as expected.

As a last resort, I brought my consciousness closer to the centre of her Spirit Space and only when I placed myself between her Innate Talent did the chains of Origin Energy halted in their tracks.

It might seem like a brave feat, but it wasn't of such sorts because I knew that Origin Energy wouldn't harm me.

Even though I managed to stop them from destroying her Innate Talent, I wasn't able to remove those silver chains.

The only way to save Olivia was for me to wait four hours for the cooldown time of [INVERSE] mode to end.

Then, I would be able to manipulate Origin Energy and saving her wouldn't be an issue.

Soon, the minute-long weakened state from the shockwave ended as Andrea, Kasim and Sergei's Stats and abilities returned to normal.

With Hobgoblin MJ acting as a medium, he couldn't personally protect Olivia.

So, I had MJ ask them to guard Olivia for 4 hours so that I could save her.

Before they stood on guard against any monsters that might appear, Andrea tried to use her Light Element to heal Olivia, but that didn't work at all.

Just like that, two hours passed and with Shadow Leopard MJ going on a monster killing spree, the number of Undisturbed Looted Stats I had on hand reached 1000*, satisfying the last requirement to awaken my 3rd Innate Exclusive Skill.
