[Common Skills]: Ice Magic, Ice and Bug-type Pokémon Magic

"Ice Magic likely blends Ice Empress's soul beast abilities with elemental magic from me."

"Ice and Bug-type Pokémon Magic."

Damien wasn't surprised. His subordinates could awaken Pokémon moves based on their elemental affinities.

Here, they're called Pokémon Magic.

Different name, same essence.

[Intrinsic Skills]: Ultimate Attribute, Ice Body, All Melee Mastery, Magic Amplification, Super Regeneration

The latter three Intrinsic Skills came from Damien.

"Ultimate Attribute. The Voice of the World mentioned new rules earlier."

Damien recalled Douluo Continent's Ultimate Attribute, signifying peak mastery of an element, a mark of talent.

In the Cardinal World, it evolved into a passive that amplified same-element attacks and heavily countered others.

Nice, but not groundbreaking.

"Compared to Ultimate Attribute, Ice Body is more intriguing."

Simply put, Ice Empress's Ice Body resembled Kuzan's Freeze-Freeze Fruit from One Piece, granting elementalization.

This made her immune to most Common Skills and highly resistant to physical Extra Skills.

Defeating her required magic or rule-based Extra Skills.

Otherwise, with Ice Body's near-bug-level elementalization, she was nearly invincible.

Of course, raw power could overwhelm.

Like Milim's world-destroying Drago Nova... Ice Body or not, Ice Empress would be obliterated.

In the Cardinal World, Magicules weren't everything, but they were dominant.

Brute force trumped all.

[Extra Skills]: Thought Acceleration, Universal Sense, Ice and Snow Domination, Spatial Manipulation, Multi-Barrier

"Most abilities carried over, plus Ice and Snow Domination."

What Damien anticipated most was Ice Empress's Unique Skill.

Extreme Cold Prison reminded him of Ciel's Infinite Prison, the skill sealing Veldora.

Hers was a lesser version.

"In purity, Extreme Cold Prison is a lower-rarity Unique Skill."

"But this ability…"

Damien saw its strength and potential, rivaling Ciel's Infinite Prison.

Both were sealing, binding, control-type skills.

When used, they enabled cross-tier challenges.

[Exclusive Skill]: Twin Martial Soul: Eternal Night Radiant Sun

[Special Skills]: Magicule Solidification (Inheritable), Ring of Divinity (Non-Inheritable)

"Twin Martial Soul? Fusion technique?"

"No, not a fusion technique!"

Damien analyzed the Exclusive Skill.

Unique, Exclusive, and Special Skills couldn't be copied or stolen, highly distinct.

They were all Unique Skills, just categorized more precisely by the Voice of the World.

"Twin Martial Soul: Eternal Night Radiant Sun has two uses."

"First, Ice and Snow Empresss resonate, with Ice Empress leading, unleashing a Demon Lord-level strike."

Demon Lord-level destruction was terrifying.

But the second use intrigued Damien more.

It let Ice and Snow Empresss possess Damien, temporarily boosting him a full realm for battle.

"So, a transformation skill? Like martial soul possession?"

As expected from Douluo Continent's system, it had that world's flavor.

"No wonder it's called Twin Martial Soul."

Technically, Damien was a soul master now, with Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and Ice Snow Maiden as his martial souls.

Finally, Damien focused on Ice Empress's Special Skill.

Special Skills stood out because they diverged from the Cardinal World.

They were fragments from other worlds, integrated into the skill system via Damien.

Stardust Manipulation was the Cardinal World's root.

Magicule Solidification was Konosubaverse's skill tree refined.

Now, Ring of Divinity followed suit.

Douluo Continent's hallmark: soul masters had soul rings, gods had divine rings.

Soul rings aside, divine rings maxed at nine for Supreme God Kings.

But Damien's Ring of Divinity allowed ten.

He could pre-store ten skills, releasing them instantly in battle without cooldowns.

"A godly skill!"

"Ring of Divinity is a game-changer!"

Its storage limit tied to Damien's capacity.

Like the maxed-out Explosion Magic used against the insect monster, he could prepare ten in advance.

Whenever free, he could stockpile.

Moreover, divine rings could store magic and any energy Damien controlled.

"Skills, energy…"

Damien was at a loss for words. This Special Skill was a combat masterpiece.

The catch? Ring of Divinity seemed exclusive to Douluo Continent subordinates.

He couldn't pass it to Ogerpon or other named monsters.

But Magicule Solidification?

"The ultimate utility, Magicule Solidification... I crown you the workhorse!"

As a Special Skill, it couldn't be mimicked or copied, ensuring exclusivity.

Yet, Damien could share it among his followers.

From subordinates to named monsters.

This vastly boosted their overall strength.

Magicules equated to physical and mental power; enhancing them meant comprehensive growth.

"Magicule Solidification seems unremarkable but creates stat freaks."

With enough Magicules, it could negate most mechanics.

Because Magicules themselves were a skill.
