Chapter 800 It doesn't matter. [1/2]
"Before we get to the last stretch my lord, do you have any questions about the ones we already discussed?"
Truly the information I heard was quite a wealth of knowledge. As of the moment this information only mattered mainly for two things. One was to help me understand the {fates} of my harem. And two to understand the combat styles of the Revenants.
'Let's do a quite review.'
Keepers gained power from enforcing Oaths. Their Domains school of thoughts were Harmony who increased the benefits of their Oath and Chaos who removed the penalties. Should a Keeper break their Oaths, they were penalized by malice or losing their abilities.
I still didn't know what Liv would end up becoming. Right now, she hasn't even shared her Oaths. All I knew was her very first one. "Reclaim the North." That Oath earned her the insulting moniker "The Valkyrie of Ivaldi."
Meanwhile her father, the Unbreakable Erik Odinson, was a Harmony Keeper. The entire Reaper community heard of the Revenant's legendary achievement of stopping an invasion of 12 Archdemons, alone. Many assumed that it was only possible due to his Soul Oath of never living his domain.
Chasers were Reapers who had a constitution called Zenith. Due to this unique condition, their bodies were at war with itself. This was the secret of the overwhelming might of Chasers. After much hardship, Chasers either become Limit Chasers or Infinity Chasers.
Limit Chasers gain the most powerful body and the ability to suppress souls. This was what the combat style of the Australian Revenant Peter Vujicic the Merciless. Infinity Chasers on the other hand were those that gave up everything for the ability to have unlimited soul energy.
I recently found out that Robyn in particular was on the Infinity track. Her body, once powerful with impressive athletic ability now rapidly deteriorated. As a result of her condition, she gained overwhelming might greater than even a Specter like Lilly.
Linkers fought with the ghosts of fallen Revenants called Astrals. Astrals had different reasons for returning, their ranks included both heroes and villains. They needed their Linkers to grow properly in order to demonstrate their power.
Astrals do not carry over their physical weaknesses but retain their mental scars. This is also why Astrals tended to be Machiavellians. Due to the potential of Astrals, Hellsgate hunts Linkers even on Earth because of their Astral's identities.
Linkers had two schools of thoughts. Accept Linkers who chose peaceful coexistence. And Command Linkers who exerted dominance and enslavement. Jo needed to either understand Vela's legend in order to draw more of her power.
As Vela was important to me, I did not wish for Jo to be a Command Linker. Unfortunately, Once Jo and I die, If Vela's legend cannot last the test of time, she would lose her qualifications to fight as an Astral. I planned to ensure that doesn't happen.
Clive Zanardi the Virtuous was a Accept Linker who demonstrated impressive might. He defeated different Revenants on three separate occasions. His Astral, King Arthur Pendragon had abilities that followed his legend.
Summoners from South America fought using Champions. Champions had no rules other than their forms and abilities were dependent on their Summoner's mental image. There were two schools of thought, Legion Summoners who fought using numbers, and Unity Summoners who fused with their Champions.
Unity Summoners were rare and had the power to go toe to toe with Shifters. Despite being unable to create Champions, Carlos was sure Bella was a Summoner. Currently he theorized her AI children were in fact her Champions. Her latest {fate} {Replicate} was also proof that despite being Formless my girl was a Summoner.
Simon Guevarra the Relentless was a Legion Summoner who had Champions that physical bodies. This meant they had lives separate from the Revenant. Which allowed the Relentless to fight even Limit Chasers on equal footing.
Reapers who fought by transforming their bodies were called Shifters. Their soulforms ranged from beasts, plants to even concepts such as natural calamities. Shifters also had two paths.
Tyrants were the first. They pursued purity of concept and drew power from mother nature. The second were Hybrids. They were those who combined attributes from different forms into one soulform. They mixed and matched beasts, and concepts all to follow the will of the shifter.
Hannibal Mandela the Immortal was a genius Tyrant Shifter who could turn into several natural disasters but still retain his will and ego. Ever since he came into power the African battlefront has stopped pushing forward.
Meanwhile Carlos believes Jas, who only showed changes to her body at Level 5 would become a powerful Shifter in the future. Currently Jas' body human except for her third eye. I needed to quickly verify what her ideal soulform was so I can assist her.
Asia was home to the Enhancers. They were the Reapers who used their {Fates} to empower their allies and themselves or weaken their enemies. Their two paths were Boosters who buffed to the limit, and Synergists who mixed buffs and debuffs in combat.
Aki was on track to be a Synergist based on the {Eat} family. Much like the overdrafting mechanic of {Eat} Enhancers were not all powerful, their Augments often came with a cost. However, these costs were justified considering the increases in abilities Enhancers could provide.
Li Wu Di, the Revenant of Asia was a Booster Enhancer that buffed his body to insane heights. According to the descriptions of his power, he was basically an anime character given flesh. Herman and Carlos also shared that Cultivators were the legacies of Enhancers.
When I summarized all that I learned, it was easy to see how fruitful our short talk was. I learned a lot about my girls and the Revenants I considered my peers. I felt bittersweet that my knowledge session with Carlos and Herman was about to come to a close.
'Exa, be sure to summarized and save the videos of the discussions here. I plan to have the Sirens create a school for Hellsend to arm our forces with this knowledge.'
[I understand my lord. You can be sure that I will not leave anything out.]
"Feels kind of sad that we are near the end. You were an excellent student, my lord," Carlos said with a smile.
"Thank you. I also think you have a knack for teaching my friend."
"Right, my men have shared that they are coming here together with the Sirens. They ladies must have finished rounding up the Observers. I thank you in advance, my lord. For giving me and my people another chance despite what we did."
"That is fine, consider it payment for the information you provided today. When I return, we will plan the retrieval of your people."
At my reply, both Carlos and Herman bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you, my lord." "Thank you, Limitless."
"Right, now let's get to the last one. The one I am apart off."
"Yes. The last and most enigmatic class are the Rulers. I say that as in terms what is known, Rulers are by far the hardest to get anything on. While all other {Fates} are basically comprised of an ability and a medium only the Rulers diverge from this concept."
"Say that again. I do not get it?"
"As we have learned my lord. The first six classes we discussed all apply {Fates} using a medium. If I wanted to gain the ability to use fire, each class would use their unique doctrines to gain pyromancy.
"The Keeper would make a vow and gain fire abilities because of that vow. The Summoner would simply create a Champion with fire abilities. For the Chasers, the Infinity Chaser would gain the ability to create fire by sacrificing enough soul, while such abilities are impossible for Limit Chasers.
"Linkers would just find an Astral whose legends is based on fire. Meanwhile Shifters would either grant fire to their soulform or turn to fire themselves. Finally, Enhancers would grant the ability to whatever gained their Augments."

I see. Each of the Six classes manifest the ability in different ways but there was always something that stood between the ability and the Reaper.
"Rulers on the other hand are not so straightforward. They do not have a medium as they themselves do not follow the rules. In our earlier example, a Ruler doesn't need anything to create a fire."
"What do you mean?"
"My knowledge about it is a bit limited so bear with me, my lord. Rulers bends or breaks the notion of cause and effect," Carlos prefaced.
What do you think?
