Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Rain thought about the complexities of combining void with other skills, recognizing the inherent difficulty in melding the essence of cosmic emptiness with more conventional abilities. While the potential for synergy and amplification was undeniable, he knew from experience that the true power of void-based skills often manifested most strongly when they were wielded in isolation.

It was a frustrating realization, one that showed the inherent limitations of attempting to integrate void with other aspects of reality. The unique nature of void made it inherently incompatible with conventional techniques, its unpredictable and destabilizing effects resisting attempts at harmonization with more structured forms of combat.

Despite these challenges, Rain was not one to back down from a daunting task. He had some ideas on how to overcome the obstacles that stood in his way, even if it meant making sacrifices in terms of effectiveness. By incorporating certain modifications and adjustments to his techniques, he believed that he could achieve a degree of integration between void and other skills, albeit at a cost.

"It can’t be helped... the aspects work together to maintain reality, but combining them is rather troublesome," Rain thought. "I guess the only way to deal with this is to create new skills. It should be possible, but very complicated."

Combining the effects and making them level up in order to become more powerful over time... It was the basis of the path system. Still, there was no path that combined the power of the aspects yet.

Since Rain obtained the ruthless path that combined pride and wrath, it should be possible to do the same with these aspects... at least in theory. While Rain was thinking about that, he couldn’t help but get a bit pissed... the overseer was benefiting so much from that and he still was on the fence regarding the situation. The idea of creating his own system where he would benefit more than the overseer came to mind again. Perhaps with the power of the aspects, he could do that. However, it wouldn’t be easy since the overseer had all the knowledge and the skills of those who were part of the system.

"This might also take too long... and it would be more beneficial to focus on planning to face Ateros," Rain thought while furrowing his eyebrows. "... I guess I will just theorize the whole thing first before putting it into practice."

By defeating Ateros, Rain believed that by combining those three aspects, he would have all the skills necessary to put his plan into practice, but for now, it was better to focus on the enemy.
