Grey's entire body and face had undergone powerful transformations, but the most notable one was without a doubt his eyes.

His eyes had completely changed the way they looked.

At the center, his pupil was a clean vertical slit with a glowing Q-shaped symbol resting inside it. The iris around it shone with a deep purple light, and a lightning-like pattern spread outward from the center. That pattern looked exactly like a tiny stretch of the cosmos but in purple, with small spark-like points scattered within it.1

The purple glow covered the entire iris evenly, giving it a calm and radiant appearance.

Grey already knew what this was, he had already gained information about it from the mysterious seal in his head.

Saint's eyes.

'What is that Q-shaped like symbol?' Grey mumbled under his breath.

It was extremely mysterious, and whenever he looked at it, he felt a mysterious power emerging from it.

By now, it wasn't just his eyes that had undergone transformation. No. Grey looked completely different now.

Second metamorphosis is known to make you more beautiful, to the point ordinary celebrities back on Earth wouldn't even be able to match them. That's because the 2nd rank focused on transformation, and starting then you would become more aligned with your soul, your physical appearance taking your soul's appearance, making you several times more beautiful in the process.

Of course, that isn't a certainty for everyone, you can't do anything if your soul looks ugly in the first place.

But tainted with the aura of nexus energy, Grey's soul's appearance had taken a drastic change. The previous Grey and he shared appearances, they looked rather similar with the exception that Grey had brown eyes when he was on Earth and the previous Grey had black eyes.

But nexus energy circulated within his body, bit by bit, it had already massively changed his appearance, especially during the time of his first metamorphosis, to something more perfect.

And now, he looked even more handsome. He realized that he grew taller a bit, his physique became more lean yet angular, and his face had become more structured and handsome.

If he was a 7 or 8 out of 10 before, then he was definitely the most handsome man in Blue Star, there was no competition.

However, that wasn't Grey's concern right now.

"Sainthood." Grey had a thoughtful expression, and for some reason he remembered the words of the immortal lady.

When she said "You're not human anymore, you are caught halfway between transformation".

Now it all made sense.

She was talking about sainthood.

The sainthood had always existed in him, but it was locked behind his genetic limitation lock.

Having gained the seal of sainthood, he knew what he was and how he acquired it.

'Saints are beings that have immense authority, they can speak terms with the natural order of heaven.' Grey shook his head.

It harassing him aside, the heaven actually granted him such abilities.

'Does the heaven have mood swings?' Grey seriously doubted it.

Before, he got struck by lightning for breaking its taboo and now he was granted sainthood.

It made no sense.

'But the sainthood isn't complete.' Grey's eyes flashed and immediately glowed purple.

Following that, a faint hum of energy filled the air as a luminous construct materialized above Grey's head.

A ring formed an intricate circuit-like halo of pure silver-purple light. The silver-purple radiance wasn't born of energy or flames, but something far beyond mortal comprehension.

Each circuit of light flowed like liquid logic, threads of runic patterns flickering across its surface.

This wasn't mere decoration.

But the direct manifestation and authority of his Half Sainthood.

'A saint has three halos and I only have one.' Grey nodded.

He hadn't fully transformed yet, and if he did, he would probably be invincible in the same rank or even fight across ranks.

'My life level. It's too low for a full sainthood transformation.' Grey shook his head.

He didn't know how high he had to push his rank, but it should definitely be somewhere between the third or fourth rank range.

For now, the only thing that transformed was his eyes.

And it came with abilities.

His eyes weren't there just for showing off.

Grey's eyes flickered and immediately his vision turned, and by the end of the bridge to the opposite side of the lotus platform, he saw ripples in reality.

Like someone had thrown a stone into it.

[Your comprehension defies the heaven. By observing the spatial ripple using your eye's ability, you've gained insight into the law of space]

'The ability to sense and feel spatial ripples.' Grey smiled.

This meant he could see any hidden spatial fluctuations across the world, even hidden secret realms like this one.

Of course, it couldn't directly assist him in sensing the law of space just by staring at the sky, but he could make use of it to make the comprehension faster.

The next ability he had received was something very impressive, its application simple but very powerful.

He couldn't test it on anyone for now as there wasn't anyone here, but what the ability did was allow him to see one's Life Aura.

Life aura allowed him to see someone's weak points in their body and see what sort of diseases they had. For example, he could tell if someone was poisoned or not.

However, that wasn't what stood out.

'The last ability is simply too broken.' Grey shook his head.

Immediately, the Q symbol inside his pupil glowed.

Whrmmmm!

The world flashed black and white, and everything around him paused for a bit, even the flowing realmheart energy.

1 second... 2 seconds... 3 seconds...!

The world returned to its normal flow, and immediately after, a splitting headache assaulted Grey.

[Your comprehension defies the heaven. By utilizing your eye's ability to stop time, you've gained insight into the law of time]

That's right, time. He could stop time now!

"Although it's only for three seconds, in combat, especially in 2nd rank and onward, every second counts." Grey mumbled while he gritted his teeth, swiftly taking out a healing potion from his spatial ring and gulping it down to fix the headache.

3 seconds was beyond his limit, but he could use his time stop in short bursts within the time frame of 2 seconds as long as he had sufficient energy.

And if he wasn't wrong, the ability to stop time would grow each time he ascended his life level and if he trained it hard enough.

Of course, that wasn't the only one.

His halo also had an ability.

Once his halo emerged, he could directly buff himself and everyone within his mind perception range. It only lasted until his psionic energy lasted, however, it was very powerful.

This meant he could buff himself indirectly.

Of course, he didn't know exactly how strong the buff was. It should be negligible for now, since he hadn't even reached the First Rank yet. He was still undergoing metamorphosis and hadn't fully reshaped his physiology.

He was definitely not capable of defeating a late-stage Second Rank. But anything at the middle stage and below? He could most likely take hundreds, even thousands, all at once.

And with his time-related ability, he might even put up a fight against a late-stage opponent. Of course, he will without a doubt lose in the end, all he could do was buy time against a law reshaped monsters like late-stage 2nd rankers.
