2 weeks ago when Leon woke up, the ChronoSystem had an anomaly.
A few months ago when he just woke up inside the derelict SpaceX facility and received his first system mission from the ChronoSystem, Leon still vividly rembered what followed after he completed the first system mission.
Besides, the system always kept track of all its previous notifications which enabled him to easily access the old notification.

Leon still vividly rembered this system notification from back then.
Then, he learned of the 8 different unique functions of the ChronoSystem apart from the general Snooping Tool, Inventory, and System Shop for the first ti.
Of the 8 unique functions of the ChronoSystem, Leon unlocked 2 of them at F Rank which corresponded to his only 2 skills as an F Rank chanist. According to the System then, he could only unlock the next function at C Rank.
After the first few days when he kept on thinking about it, after accepting his situation and realizing how far away C Rank was, he stopped thinking about it to avoid falling into depression but after he woke up from his second Ascendant Trial 2 weeks ago, there was an anomaly.
Apart from the physical changes and the changes to his qi that his body went through after becoming a D Rank Ascended, the ChronoSystem had an anomaly.
He could still vividly rember the System notification.
DING!

[Host has completed the 2nd Ascendant Trial in a single try, successfully altering the history of the world!]
[Contingency Chrono Anchors are no longer needed!]
[Recalibrating... please wait...]
...
BZZZT!
The ChronoSystem interface screen suddenly went off after that!
If it wasn’t because of the earlier notifications that he vaguely understood, Leon would have panicked.
After waiting for 10 minutes, the system lit up again.
...
[ChronoSystem Recalibration Complete!]
[System Function requirents have been altered for Host!]
>Chrono Replication (D Rank).
>System Assimilation (D Rank).
>Forge Dinsion (C Rank).
>Chrono Anchor (B Rank).
>mory Reconstruction (B Rank).
>Omni-Forge (Beyond Grade A).

Leon was stunned, the requirents for most of the remaining locked system functions literally went through an overhaul, or better still a reshuffle.
From its previous C Rank requirent, the requirent to unlock the Chrono Replication system function dropped to D Rank, the sa thing applied for most of the other system functions.
The one that shocked him most was the System Assimilation function that dropped from the previous B Rank requirent all the way to D Rank.
Leon blinked. ’Is this real?’
He wasn’t sure what caused it but due to the initial System notification, he had a hunch that it was connected to him completing his second Ascendant Trial within just the first ti.
’Wait, even the System didn’t expect to complete it the first ti?’
Again, that put into perspective again just how unfair and impossible the Trial was.
He felt complicated. ’I don’t even know if I should be proud or sad or cursing at the system’.
...
[Congratulations! You have unlocked System Functions:]
>Chrono Replication: When activated, this System Function enables you to store and recreate previous chanist builds instantly.
>System Assimilation: When activated, this System Function enables you to brute force and temporarily override external tech systems like shipyards, warships, defense grids, A.I factories, etc., no matter the level of technology used.

Just like that, Leon unlocked 2 new unique system functions of the ChronoSystem.
Apart from the explanation by the system, due to his inherent connection to the ChronoSystem, he understood the utility and the core processes of both system functions imdiately.
Both system functions worked by tapping from his ADE just like the Construct and Deconstruct Protocol.
With Chrono Replication, if he ever entered a situation so dire that all his chanist constructs were deployed, with it, he could recreate any of his constructs imdiately, even if it was the Zerphyr-7 Stealth Reconnaissance UAV.
Leon didn’t need to be a genius to realize just how life-saving this could be, especially when he was finally about to enter the stage where he would be facing the Omnicore Federation directly.
After the events in his second Trial, seeing how strongly the Director-Pri opposed Ren Nora’s Ascension to C Rank, Leon already realized that he would not be able to stay under the radar anymore.
Whether he liked it or not, he was going to clash against the Omnicore Federation in the nearest future so it was better to prepare for it.
Because whether Director-Pri Epsilon liked it or not, Leon had no intentions of stopping at D Rank.
He would keep on constructing, he would keep on fighting and growing his Ascended Counter and attempt the third Trial to beco a C Rank Ascended, and still he wouldn’t stop there.
He would keep on going right until he unlocked all his mories and filled in the blanks that were in his head and the blanks in the history of Neo-Tokara.
On this aspect, Leon felt a bit indignant. ’Why didn’t the System Recalibration affect the mory Reconstruction function and also bring it down to C Rank?’
That way, all he needed was 1 more Trial and he would finally access his hidden mories and understand the truth of the world.
Apart from the Chrono Replication function, System Assimilation gave him a potent weapon to finally beco a force to be reckoned with in the cyber realm.
After what Purgatory did to the Federation Army plus the fact that centuries already passed since that battle, Leon had a hunch that the Federation Army would have improved on the cybersecurity deficiencies of their aerial transports and warships.
In the current era, he had a hunch that even with Purgatory, with the state of the rebel army back then, they won’t be able to sustain a battle against the current Federation Army.
But Leon also had no doubt that since then, the rebel army had grown.
Afterall, compared to then, they were no longer obscure. They were no longer just seen as another rebel group.
Now, the Freegrid Collective was seen as one of the major factions of the world that opposed the rule of the Omnicore Federation.
With Ren Nora at the helm of the faction, they were a force to be reckoned with now compared to back then.
Apart from accepting and celebrating the 2 new system functions that he suddenly unlocked, 2 weeks ago, Leon also took his ti to glaze himself and flaunt over his new D Rank stats.
