My Bugged System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 186: All skills merged

This meant that somewhere out there, hidden from his view, there were other candidates climbing the exact same ladder of progression, fighting through their own quests, and trying to reach the very peak of power that he had just successfully claimed for himself.

’Does this mean those other magi with the system would receive a similar automated notification ... informing them about my breakthrough?’ he thought, a bit confused.

If the system was tracking all of them under a single master network, it was highly possible that a global announcement had just been blasted across their screens, signaling to every single holder that the ultimate milestone had finally been conquered by him already.

He heavily doubted that would actually be the case, but since he still couldn’t confidently say he knew everything there was to know about the system’s true origins or its creator’s ultimate motives, there was still a very real, lingering chance of even that happening.

If his doubts were wrong and the system really did feature a global announcement feature, that would mean his current, breakthrough to the supreme magus rank might have already been completely known by all the other system holders the exact second his core transformed.

They would currently be staring at their screens in a state of absolute shock, realizing that someone out there had already reached the absolute apex of power while they were still lagging behind.

He had effectively painted an invisible target on his back, establishing himself as the ultimate boss to beat for every other user operating in the shadows.

Noah leaned his head back against the cold white wall of the spent training chamber, letting his mind wander a little.

He deeply wondered who these other mysterious individuals with systems actually were, trying to guess their identities and where they could possibly be hiding.

Were they walking among the populace right here in the southern continent, operating right under his nose in the adventurer guild, or were they residing far away in the mysterious, unexplored territories of the other hidden continents?

The sheer scale of the possibilities was staggering, forcing him to realize just how massive and unpredictable the world truly was.

’If they are going to be from the other hidden continents beyond the black cloud, then this is even more of a reason for me to participate in the world academy tournament.’ he thought, a grin forming on his face.

That massive global event would be the absolute perfect crucible to draw out the elite geniuses of every nation, and if there were other system holders hiding in the world, they would undoubtedly be drawn to a stage of that magnitude to showcase their power.

Interestingly, even though he had just literally learnt the ground-shaking truth that there were actively other individuals with systems out there competing against him, he wasn’t panicking or feeling anxious at all.

The sudden revelation didn’t shake his resolve or cause his hands to tremble with fear; instead, it felt like a minor adjustment to a grand game he was already winning.

He welcomed the challenge with an open mind, his heart rate remaining entirely steady and controlled in the quiet isolation of the runic chamber.

Though, in all honesty, this profound lack of panic was partly because he was now currently sitting comfortably at the ultimate, undisputed peak of magical power in the entire world.

No matter who the other system holders were, or how fast they were currently leveling up, Noah Whiteheart was the first to achieve the god-like rank of a Supreme Magus.

He held the crown, his mana pool was absolutely overflowing, and he possessed a level of destructive force that could flatten mountains.

This complete and absolute lack of anxiety was also because he knew with confidence from the very start that his system was entirely different from that of anyone else who might be out there.

He wasn’t operating under the same fair parameters, balanced mechanics, or rigid structural limitations that an ordinary user would expect to encounter.

While the system network might have chosen multiple candidates across the world, Noah had been handed a tool that didn’t follow the standard rulebook, giving him a massive, insurmountable advantage.

The reason for his ridiculous growth was the bug in his system, which allowed him smash through levels quickly by competing sinolt daily quests over and over again.

There was also the fact that his EXP requirement was stuck at 100, instead of increasing as he levelled up, allowing him to level up even faster.

The others out there certainly didn’t have access to that absurd privilege, and while they would undoubtedly be able to progress much faster than their peers, they would still have to actively grind for each individual level.

They would be forced to complete their daily quests one by one, face down terrifying monsters for of experience points, and spend months slowly cultivating just to level up a single sub-rank.

He let out sigh, standing up from his cross-legged position, before rolling his shoulders back and making a few loose stretches to loosen up his newly reinforced frame.

In all honesty, his physical body didn’t exactly feel stiff, sore, or exhausted at all after the intense breakthrough process, but he just stretched his limbs simply because he felt like it.

He then turned his back on the spent training sanctum and smoothly made his way out of the inner mana chamber, stepping back through the heavy wooden door into the main luxury bedroom.

He walked over to the edge of the massive, plush bed, his movements completely silent against the pristine floor.

As he looked around the spacious environment of his quarters, he could now only sense a remarkably little, highly diluted amount of raw mana remaining in the room’s atmosphere, since he had already aggressively absorbed most of them few minutes ago.

Now that his physical surroundings were completely taken care of, Noah decided it was finally time to check his new skills.

He had been swiping them, only concerned about breaking through to supreme rank, but now that he had broken through, he could now check them.

’Skills and Abilities.’ he thought.

[Skills and Abilities $&@?]

[Aura Mask(level 3)]

[Limit-breaker(level ???)]

[Eye of Truth(level 2)]

[Supreme Mana Manipulation(level 1)]

[Supreme Elemental Manipulation(level 1)]

To his absolute surprise, all his numerous, highly specific elemental skills that he had gotten the past week had completely vanished from the screen, having been seamlessly combined together into a single, comprehensive master technique—Supreme Elemental Manipulation.
