Bab 93: Best Hugs In The Verse Essences
Essence of the Unnamed Darkness
By drinking this essence you become the Unnamed Darkness, an ever-expanding, all-consuming foreign Entity.
Your body becomes a strange substance that can change its physical state and doesn't adhere to all physical laws. Neither matter nor energy but something quite different.
Regardless of state or mass, you are always able to fly. The gravitational pull of objects can't pin you down.
Walking through time and space is as easy as walking through a room.
In the beginning, your body will be a cloud or blob, roughly the size of a large cat with physical properties to an average adult human. You can harden yourself to match iron.
You possess the ability to transform your body into anything as long as you have sufficient mass to reach its size. A gaping maw with razor-sharp teeth, tendrils, a jacket or flowers. Creativity is key.
The substance your body is made out of can make everything it can make contact with, a part of you. This behaves differently depending on the thing in question:
Beings need to be killed before they can be absorbed. Upon death, they are automatically transformed into your substance and absorbed, provided you have contact.
Every part of their being is consumed to improve you. Abilities, powers, knowledge, durability, aptitudes, mass, simply everything positive. Harmful aspects, like a weakness to fire, are automatically sorted out.
If you, for example, kill an average adult human in your base form, you are two put into one. Twice the strength, durability, and brain processing power.
Aspects that can't be simply added like reaction time, skill, or aptitude are instead improved. Having a reaction time of 200ms and absorbing someone with 250ms, won't make yours 450ms but rather 150ms.
You are perfectly capable of mimicking everyone you have absorbed, down to their mannerisms and way to talk.
Since absorbed beings are unraveled completely in mind, body, soul, etc. you don't have to fear them rebelling or retaining their personality. There is only you.
Their memories will have no negative effect on you.
Entities like ghosts or liches also count as living for this purpose. As do androids or cyborgs.
Objects can be absorbed if you're capable of forming a surface large enough for them to fall through. This surface is extended from yourself.
Your substance functions like a hole for this purpose.
Should you want to absorb a tower with a diameter of 5 meters, you would need to create a surface with a diameter of slightly over 5 meters.
You can sever the connection of objects with the ground with your surfaces if you would be able to cut through the material providing said connection.
Objects that are not able to fall through, have to be encased instead.
Contrary to beings, objects won't increase any aspects of you except mass.
By default, they are not turned into your substance but stored. This can be changed to your liking.
If an object holds power or skills, transforming it, will grand these to you.
Liquids count as objects.
Energy can simply be absorbed and released at a later time.
More esoteric things like mana or spiritual, psionic, and cosmic "energies" can be absorbed to increase your own reserves or smelted together into one.
Souls can simply be used as fuel or be unraveled to strengthen you. While still being able to possess skills from when they were still connected to their mortal shell, this is not guaranteed.
After passing certain thresholds in your growth you will develop abilities on your own. These include: Space-Time Manipulation, Mental Manipulation, Omnilock, Creation, Nonexistence, and more.
The stronger you become, the stronger the powers you unlock do.
Beings can only fall through your created surfaces if they're weak enough to not pose a threat to you and are immediately killed and absorbed then. This is a safety mechanism to prevent destruction from within.
Your Body is comprised of two parts. The first is the visible one through which you interact with the world. The second resides in an otherwise empty universe inaccessible and inviolable to anything but you.
If the first part is damaged, substance from the second is drawn to replace the destroyed parts. This happens instantly and can't be prevented.
The first part can be recalled to the second.
Should you possess strong enough regenerative capabilities, you can stop the replacement process and instead heal with these.
The second part acts as storage for everything that was absorbed and isn't used by the first. As a part of your body, it can also be customized.
Stored objects are automatically organized and are unaffected by the passage of time.
The connection between the two can't be cut or prevented. Chain reactions that affect the first part can't be transported to the second. For example, an effect that destroys all instances of a certain type of matter could only affect the first.
Chunks of substances that are removed from the first part, like cut off limbs, are transported to the second.
Anything converted can be rebuilt and transported to you. Beings that have been rebuilt do receive their powers but not their personality and will follow your commands. You still retain the given powers.
Due to your nature you can't be trapped, sealed, restrained by any means, and are unaffected by time manipulation. You're also immune to reality-warping since you're not a natural part of said reality.
Being a foreign factor enables you to break the rules of the universes you visit. If you can do it is another story but the possibility is there.
You do not possess a soul, hence any attacks that target it are useless against you.
Your mind is built alien and strange so attacking it is useless. This extends to illusions and other manipulations.
All this and the powers that you'll gain are part of you and can't be suppressed, altered, removed, copied, etc..
Even if the name might suggest otherwise, your color pallet isn't restricted to dark colors.
Essence of the Healer
Tastes like Pepto Bismol
By consuming the essence of the Healer, you are granted several boons:
An aura over several miles in radius that cleans and restores the environment from pollution and curses, lessens the frequency of natural disasters, and causes both plants and creatures to repopulate decimated areas at three times their numbers in a few months and in general repopulate at twice the rate in all other areas in the same time frame without any problems from inbreeding. This will not affect invasive species of plants and creatures, imported are fine just not actively destructive varieties.
You may place permanent fields down anywhere, to persist after you leave, that allows you to control what aspect you wish to target, such as if you just want to affect pollution and curses or just animals. You can remove any fields you place at any time if necessary as in the case of people finding it difficult to manage forests and keep plants off their houses due to the overgrowth boost.
Your presence becomes soothing to others, such that it aids in the recovery, lessening, and overcoming of crippling injuries, infections, disease, spiritual maladies and wounds, and psychological problems such as addiction, PTSD, etc. as well as chronic conditions and their magical, sci-fi, or memetic equivalents. Your presence ensures that the people around you improve to become their best possible selves physically, mentally, and spiritually within less than a year (this varies based on their condition but always within a year) even if they barely interact with you and you will never have to worry about them self sabotaging themselves. You yourself benefit, becoming a well adjusted person with an inviolable soul which ensures you'll be able to recover from anything that doesn't straight up kill you within a year.
Your presence extends over an entire household or large room (such as in large factory floor spaces, warehouses, or any open floor etc.) and can even affect people over the internet by just being on the website or other live communications.
You gain immunity to blindness, deafness, muteness, madness, addiction, overdosing, disease, toxins, poisons, harmful radiation, mutations, or warping effects, infections, parasites, pests, and their magical, sci-fi, or memetic equivalents; your body will also be brought to peak condition, will always be clean, with genetic defects or malformations cured. Your offspring are also immune to genetic defects and malformations.
The ability to thrive on quarter rations without suffering negative effects. Only by starving could you be affected and even then these changes can be cured in just a month by resuming eating.
Gain an increased lifespan that can last for millennia with the effects of age being gentler on you even in your advanced years. You also gain immunity to the ennui of time and any effects that would make living longer difficult. No matter how old you are, you won't have any trouble keeping up with advancements or connecting with other people.
Regenerate perfectly in half the time of a normal human, you can recover from even crippling injuries and lost limbs given time or you can speed up this process by healing yourself.
A complete mental archive of medicinal plants and how to prepare them, the ability to identify and tell them apart from their impostors, and how to harvest them as well as when; just in case. This archive will update with any new samples you acquire.
Beyond Genius level intellect with perfect memory, archiving, indexing, instant recall, cross referencing, fully retroactive with protection from harmful memories, tamper proofing, and protection against mental devouring or other death of personality type effects. This will not prevent you from learning and growing as a person, but is a defence against any power or being that would force you to change including sudden ascension due to increased intellect or becoming a god.
The ability to scan the health of others' flesh with a touch, check the state of their mind and soul, and see mystical effects such as curses and demons.
An incomparable skill at the mundane medical profession in all techniques from established medicine, to esoteric acupuncture or sound resonance treatments, and up to natural herbal or other remedies from nature's bounty; you know all things related to germ prevention, surgery, etc. and how to practice them; just in case. This knowledge encompasses all of history to the level of the modern world and automatically updates with current information if you should find a way into other universes. It is also flawless, giving you only techniques and knowledge that really work so you need not worry about prescribing pig's blood and crow feathers unless real magic is involved.
The ability to cleanse and heal creatures and beings mentally, physically, and spiritually; banish evil spirits, exorcise demons, purify malignant energies or effects, reverse monsterfication, lift curses, even cure creatures such as vampires or werewolves, time related effects, restore whole limbs and organs, cure genetic mutations and defects, restore the mind, undo brainwashing, etc. and speed up the process of your passive aura or presence by concentrating on them. These can be done at a distance, on single or multiple targets, or by laying hands on the recipient the latter of which is more potent.
You can start as low in skill as you desire then work your way up and with practice you can even learn to revive and restore the dead to full life and expand your active healing to encompass entire cities and beyond.
You also heal yourself and others 'cleanly' wounds close without obstructions like bullets remaining in them, splintered bones realign without issue, shattered minds recover with the core personality and memories intact, even harmful cybernetics can be removed if needed.
You may toggle any of these gifts on or off, control their intensity, or specify what they affect. The intensity cannot be raised beyond your current healing strength.
Essence of the Ultimate Chad:
By drinking a fluid of explosively awesome taste you turned into the Ultimate Chad.
You gain a new body that sits at the peak of your species in capability, you may chose to look similar to your old self or look like someone completely different, in either choice your features will be enhanced to peak handsomess. Essentially making you into a walking wet dream.
You became supernaturally good at sex; able to almost instinctively know what you partner want and need to make them feel good, even when it shouldn't be possible. This ability is so effective that you are able to turn even experienced primordial goddess of sex into babbling ahegao puddles.
You gain infinite stamina when having sex, and your refractory periods are under your complete control.
Your cum is extremely tasty, highly nutritive, and slightly addicting. Someone can easily live off a diet completely composed of your cum if they want/need, though they will become a junkie for it.
You can only impregnate someone if you want to, and when you do the pregnancy is one hundred percent guaranteed even if it shouldn't been possible.
Each of your sons will be Chads themselves though of less potency than you, and each of your daughters will be extraordinarily beautiful Stacies that are destined to fall in love and lust to you.
You have a passive ability to always say and do the right things to get into a woman's good grace, but only when you are not paying attention to it. When you are, and are actively trying to get into a woman's pants, this ability becomes active and you will supernaturally know what to say and do to achieve this goal. Be warned though, some women need more work than others, but you can woo anything with enough effort.
Women in relationships are much more vulnerable to your charms than a woman who isn't. For example; it may take mouths of hard work to bone a lesbian feminazi that hates man with undying passion, but if this feminazi is in a happy lesbian relationship, it will only take a few weeks instead. Married women are particularly vulnerable to you, needing only a few days or hours of work.
A woman that you successfully managed to have sex with becomes a 'conquest', and you may figuratively or literally mark her. Each of your conquests are moderated loyal to you on the moment of the first lay, is up to you how you foster this loyalty or let it die.
You may influence the feelings a conquest have for you, from friendly attraction to undying, madding love. Though the process isn't instantaneous.
For every woman you 'conquer', you gain one or several boons related to the powers and abilities the woman has. Normally, it's a copy of their power or ability, but it can be something similar or related to it. For example; you bang a common housewife, you learn how to cook, you bang a witch, you gain the capability to use her kind of magic and learn several of her spells, you bang an kunoichi, you learn how to ninja, gain the ability to use chakra, learn several of her jutsus and maybe gain a copy of her bloodline ability.
Each ability and power you gain have unlimited potential to grown and evolve even when they shouldn't. You can also unlock the hidden potential of the powers and abilities of your conquests during sex if you choose.
You can now use sex to replace training; an hour of sex is the same as an hour of hard and fulfilling training, complete with insights and experience of how to use your powers and abilities better. This benefit is increased the more partners you fuck at the same time. This ability can be shared with the partner/s that you are having sex at the time with if you want.
You learn how to do a complex tantric ritual that lets you travel to other worlds, however, the aim of this ritual is very faulty and you may end up in a world you didn't intend to go. There is also a 'cool down' period for the ritual to be used again; this can range from a few days to a full month depending on the world.
You learn how to do a simple ritual to travel back to the worlds you've been before, these can be done in a few minutes and don't need a 'cooldown', however, each time you are in a completely new world, it will need time to tune your metaphysical presence to your relative position in the multiverse, reentering it useless for a period of time that can range from a few days to a full month depending on the world.
Fate itself conspire to make your life 'interesting' and throw hot women at your way, this can be a blessing or a curse.
Essence of the Slime
You gain a gelatin-like alternative form whose description is left up to you. Congrats kid, you're a slime now!
As a slime, your body is almost impervious to physical blows, strikes, and slashes. You can still be harmed by energy attacks, magic, and basically by just about any really volatile substance.
As a slime, you no longer age, making you immortal.
Your consciousness is now spread throughout your body, so you no longer require your brain to think. Don't worry, you won't lose any IQ points if bits of you were to get splattered over the terrain or whatever.
You gain a ridiculous ability at shapeshifting. Squish yourself flat to get under a door, turn a finger into a key, shapeshift into someone, etc. You're even able to shift the pigmentation of parts of your body to whatever color you want.
You can invade and control the bodies of others, puppetting them around and talking through them. This is, for obvious reasons, less effective against robots, other electronic enemies, and some types of undead.
Alternatively, you could form a sort of shell or suit around the victim, and control them that way. This approach is also more effective against the beings described above.
You can shift your mass through your hosts body, enlarging certain features and/or parts. Somehow, this never negatively effects the host's health.
You can turn others into slime people too! They gain all the abilities of this essence, and are utterly loyal to you, seeing you as a sort of "queen slime".
You can consume objects, like rocks or leaves, to increase your mass. For some reason, this seems to only work on inanimate, non-sentient material.
Essence of the Absorber
By drinking this essence, you gain the ability to absorb other beings!
You gain aspects of the appearance of the being you absorb, such as muscletone, hair color, eye color, etc; You only gain the positive aspects you want, and none of the negatives.
You become physically stronger with each person you absorb, with exactly how strong depending on the target. This can also suffer diminishing returns if you constantly target civilians or Joe Average.
You gain their memories, everything from childhood up to the moment they met you for the last time. This allows you to know everything from what they had for breakfast to codes for their computer network.
You can also choose to gain some personality traits, making you braver, more curious, angrier, and so on. This will NEVER be enough to cause death of personality.
Having absorbed the victim, you gain access to a store of any energy they used to power their techniques. You can increase this reservoir of energy by absorbing others who use it.
By absorbing the victim, you gain any powers or abilities they had, no matter how unique or metaphysically tied to them it was.
What exactly happens to the victim after you absorb them is up to you. They may die, or they could linger inside your own mind, offering advice or bemoaning their fate. In cases such as the latter, you can "mute" them at will.
