Jin expected his power to be strong, even though there was a chance for it to be shit, but he didn't expect it to be this strong. Something like matter manipulation or the control over dark energy was what he expected, not Concept Manipulation.

Still, this was the best power he could have gotten.

In his eyes, he didn't see his power as a grand thing since he could already manipulate concepts to a degree, moreso brute force his way into controlling them, such as bending space to his will and so on.

However, since he could manipulate concepts, that means he could take that to a different level, especially when amplified by mana.

"No, no, this is actually insane. It's a great power! I can practically do what I want! This will be a huge help when I face...myself."

He wanted to test his powers right away, but he decided not to. His mana was very important, and since he had no mana inside his body, he wanted to change that.

And so he did.

The amount of time it takes to expel mana is significantly shorter than the time it takes to absorb mana, so Jin was sitting in the lotus position longer than he had ever sat in that position before.

"Is he shitting?" Angela asked, peeking into Jin's space.

Addison didn't want whatever was making Angela so...dumb, so she backed away a bit. "No, he's absorbing mana, can't you tell?"

"Not really. Every time I see him sitting like that, it makes me think that he's trying to hold it in or something."

"Actually insane."

"But do you feel that?" Brittany had joined the peeking session.

"Yeah, his mana is so dense. I can even see it swirling around him."

"I wonder what power he has. Maybe our child will have that power as well." Angela was getting excited.

"Don't worry, Angela, your child is going to be a super genius." Brittany patted her on the back.

"You think so?"

"Oh yeah! They're going to be a C or B average student!"

She frowned. "That doesn't sound like a genius."

"With your genetics, it is."

"Bitch!"

"Whore!"

"Slut!"

"Dick!"

"Shut up, both of you." Addison covered their mouths so they wouldn't distract Jin.

They continued to watch as Jin accumulated more and more mana into his body, more than they could accumulate themselves. It was jarring to see a person with vast amounts of mana being absorbed into their body.

"I-Is he okay? He's not going to explode, is he?" Angela was ready to step in just in case.

"He helped us reach the state we're at right now, so he should be fine." Brittany had full confidence in Jin and wanted to keep watching him progress.

Soon, around ten hours later, Jin finally absorbed enough mana to be back at his full strength. While cultivating can take hours, usually one would need to rest their body before continuing, in certain cases, that is.

But Jin wanted to go back to his prime right away, so he didn't stop at all. He could also hear the three women spying on him, but he didn't engage with them, deciding to focus on regaining his strength.

"Phew, that's much better." He stood up, stretched his arms, then clenched his fists. The power he felt was stronger than ever, thanks to his powers awakening.

"You're finally up!" Angela rushed over and gave him a hug.

"I've always been up. I heard you three bantering."

"I wasn't bantering." Addison didn't want to be grouped with the other two.

"So, what's your power? Can we see it? I wanna see it!" Brittany had to know what power Jin got. Everyone was dying to know what it was.

"Concepts." He smiled.

"Huh? Concepts? What does that mean?"

"I can control and manipulate concepts. Hot, cold, space, time, life, and even death. If it's a concept, I can manipulate it. Doesn't matter if that concept is scientific, spiritual, natural, or even theoretical."

"Wha—" Brittan's mouth hung in the air as the shock was too much for her brain to handle.

Addison was also taken away by how broken that power was.

Angela, on the other hand, was grinning. Her child wouldn't be a super genius after all.

Leaving the pocket dimension. Jin informed everyone about his powers, which once again shocked them all, except for Jerrica.

"One of our ancestors had a power similar to that. I thought it was an exaggeration, but it turns out that it was true. That's amazing!"

Jessa couldn't have been prouder of her son and herself. She gave birth to him after all. A mother who was proud that she had birthed a strong son, that's who Jessa was.

"That's even better than my power!" Lacena was slightly jealous.

"Is this what your plan was? To gain your power back in order to beat Eve?" Anyssa asked

"Hell no. This is only the first step. I only got my powers back to see if they would be useful or not, and they happened to be extremely useful. Now, I can start working toward what I actually want to do. But for now, I gotta test things out. Peace."

Jin teleported outside the mansion and arrived in the city. The place was still on fire and destroyed. The war was ongoing, and soldiers continued to fight to their deaths, Soul-Husks being formed in the process.

"Alright, let's see how this badboy works!" He cleared his mind and activated his power.

'War. This is the focal point. What does war mean? Simple, war is the aid between other nations to make sure everyone thrives, and innocents don't get killed. Yeah, I like that.'

Jin had no idea how to activate that concept, so he slashed the air with mana, blanketing the entire continent with it, and his concept took hold of everyone, and the fighting stopped.

"Hahaha! Fucking OP as powers. I'm the fucking MC in an isekai novel or some shit!"

He could control who was affected by the concepts and aimed them at all of the soldiers and the president. Because of his mana, Jin could also tell that his power wouldn't work on higher-level beings, though it would still affect him, which could then affect them, so that was a good thing to know.

However, he should still be able to use this power on his former self because he was never a higher-level being. Jin had always been a mortal. He was just super freaking strong. The primordials he worked for never let him step into divinity.

"I can't wait to beat my ass."
