Chapter 473: [Heaven’s Decree]
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
During this ti, the royal capital was once again bustling with activity.
Although the dignitaries from various countries had left, under the summons of Lucy, Airi, and Anima, renowned figures from all over the world ca and went, causing a stir in the capital.
Gradually, many people learned that the purpose of these people coming to the capital was to teach Earl Buztout, the man of the hour, the skills they possessed.
However, they ca and went in a hurry, puzzling many.
Shien, ignoring the outside commotion, stayed ho, receiving instruction from various experts and learning all sorts of skills at a speed that continued to shock everyone.
Of course, Shien wasn’t indiscriminately accepting everything.
There were so skills he didn’t need and naturally wouldn’t learn.
For example, magic skills. Even if he learned them, without the spells, Shien couldn’t use magic, and he didn’t want to bury himself in books again, so he rejected all magic skills.
There were also so skills whose effects overlapped, or those with higher-level counterparts. Shien wouldn’t learn them either, as it would just be a waste of skill points.
Therefore, every ti Shien learned a skill, he would carefully select and only learn those that were useful to him.
Unfortunately, there were also so skills whose learning conditions Shien couldn’t et, even if he liked the skill.
For example, the [Heroic Spirit Guardian] skill could only be learned by descendants of families with loyal retainers who sacrificed themselves for their family. Shien couldn’t learn this skill no matter what.
Even with [Divine Grace] lowering the difficulty of learning, difficulty was one thing, conditions were another. If he couldn’t even et the learning conditions, then there was no point in talking about how easy or difficult it was to learn.
Shien could only regretfully give up on learning such skills.
However, even so, the number of skills Shien learned every day was still considerable, his skill list growing at an astonishing rate.
These skills were eventually fused by Shien.
Although Shien’s [Fate and Logic] could also modify skill effects, he discovered that fusing so skills together could achieve the sa result as modification, and only required a small number of skill points.
Taking [Instant Movent] as an example, modifying it to be activated anyti, anywhere, required one hundred skill points, but when Shien fused [Instant Movent] and [Evasion], the resulting effect was exactly the sa as the forr. ɽ𝒶ΝǑ𐌱Ёs
And the skill points required for fusion were only ten, and the fused skill would retain the original strengths of both skills, while its level would be reset to one. After Shien raised the newly created skill back to level ten, its effect would undoubtedly beco even stronger.
Therefore, Shien naturally preferred using [Fate and Logic] to fuse different skills, making them stronger and giving them greater potential.
This could also save skill points, so why not?
Moreover, the effects of combining different skills were unknown, and Shien gradually found so enjoynt in the continuous experintation.
Whenever a powerful skill was created, he would celebrate.
Whenever a skill fusion failed, or the effect of the fused skill was weakened due to poor compatibility, he would feel frustrated.
Fortunately, using [Fate and Logic] to modify skills not only allowed him to alter their effects and fuse different skills, but also to separate fused skills and retrieve the consud skill points. Otherwise, so failed attempts would cause Shien heavy losses.
On the other hand, after modifying a skill’s effect, it couldn’t be undone, and the consud skill points couldn’t be retrieved.
Therefore, compared to modifying skills, Shien preferred fusing them. This was only natural.
During this half month, Shien spent his ti learning and fusing skills, sotis even forgetting so learned skills to gain skill points and constantly adjusting his skill list.
And now, half a month later, finally, no one ca to the Buztout mansion to teach Shien skills anymore.
This only ant one thing.
That was, Shien had learned all the skills he could and should learn.
…
“Is it finally over?”
In the palace, after seeing off the last master who left in a daze after being shocked, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and murmured.
“It’s finally over.”
Airi also sent away a crying demon, rubbing her temples, looking exhausted.
“How is that Hero doing now?”
Anima, watching a group of amazed goddesses return to the Divine Realm, muttered to herself.
“…”
Lildas, unusually silent, looked in the direction of the Buztout mansion, as if sensing sothing.
“Lady Lilith?”
In a room in the Buztout mansion, Lasha softly called out to Lilith.
“…”
Lilith, also silent, was lying by the window, looking at the figure outside, her eyes flickering slightly.
Vivian, lika, and Lumia were doing the sa thing as Lilith.
“Mr. Shien…”
“He…?”
lika and Lumia looked at the figure outside from the windows of their rooms, seemingly holding their breath.
“…He seems different.”
Vivian also looked towards the garden, her expression gradually changing.
“Roar—!”
Above the Buztout mansion, Yulin roared, as if celebrating or cheering for sothing.
“Phew…”
In a place no one could see, Nadue also exhaled slowly, looking at that person from a close distance, and finally murmured,
“Perhaps I’m witnessing the birth of a Hero who surpasses even Mitra…”
No one heard these words.
Including Shien, who was standing in the garden.
At this mont, Shien had his eyes closed, a faint light gradually dimming around him.
ssages continuously appeared in his mind.
“Prototype Skill No. 1 has successfully fused various weapon skills, combat skills, and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 2 has successfully fused various resistance skills, defense skills, and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 3 has successfully fused various speed, evasion, and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 4 has successfully fused various magic power amplification, magic amplification, and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 5 has successfully fused various perception skills and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 6 has successfully fused various concealnt, assassination, and so support skills. Please na the new skill.”
“Prototype Skill No. 7 has successfully fused all strength amplification skills. Please na the new skill.”
ssages like this continuously appeared in Shien’s mind.
Shien, combining the strengths of various skills, after half a month of learning and experintation, had successfully fused seven new skills.
Shien nad these seven skills without hesitation.
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 1—[Outer Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 2—[Inner Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 3—[Outer Perception of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 4—[Inner Perception of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 5—[Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 6—[Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree].”
“Naming Prototype Skill No. 7—[Samsara of Heaven’s Decree].”
With Shien’s decision, his skill list expanded, displaying all the skills he currently possessed.

==========
The effects of the seven skills were clearly displayed in Shien’s mind.
The three active skills were nad “Outer” skills.
The three passive skills were nad “Inner” skills.
“Heaven” ca from [Divine Grace].
“Decree” ca from [Fate and Logic].
The other words were simply used for differentiation.
Plus the special skill, [Samsara of Heaven’s Decree], which was accidentally created by fusing nurous amplification and enhancent skills, with [Limit Evolution] as the core.
These seven Heaven’s Decree skills were the result of Shien’s efforts over the past half month.
Shien had fused all the skills he learned during this period into these seven skills, exhausting all his skill points.
The only skills he hadn’t fused were the two magic skills, [Bestowal Magic] and [Celestial Magic].
In other words, the current Shien, besides the three skills [Divine Grace], [Fate and Logic], and [Supre God’s Blessing], only possessed the seven Heaven’s Decree skills and the two magic skills.
A total of twelve skills constituted Shien’s current strength.
Shien didn’t know how strong he was now.
He only knew that after half a month of hard work, he could now easily defeat his past self.
Shien glanced at his level.
—”Lv.77″.
Seeing this level, Shien smiled.
Perhaps, in the eyes of those legendary experts above level ninety, his current level was still low.
However, Shien knew very well that in this world, being above level seventy ant being a powerful figure, enough to be a knight captain anywhere.
In other words, Shien’s level had finally reached the point where he could be called an expert.
This was the result of his half-month’s effort.
Since that was the case…
“I need to find soone to spar with.”
Shien said.
An astonishing magic power fluctuated around him and then vanished.
Countless people in the capital were startled at this mont.
