Also, I forgot to mention that if any ability has the potential to grow, I will inherit its growth ability—even if I am in another world—provided I satisfy the conditions for growth.
After thinking extensively, since my future depends on it, I decided to visit the Tensura world at the timeline just after Rimuru Tempest evolves into a Demon Lord.
To maximize my freebie benefits, I used my limited knowledge to devise a plan to download both of Rimuru's ultimate skills. Although there may be stronger powers to download, I had always wanted these abilities badly, so I chose them. Plus, they have a lot of potential to grow.
I used Athena to link to the internet and download the Tensura anime, skipping to the episode where Rimuru completes his Demon Lord evolution. I then entered the world of Rimuru Tempest, remaining untraceable, intangible, and invisible.
Upon arriving, my core came into contact with a new type of energy called magicules. According to Athena, magicules are just a low-to-mid-tier energy, and now I could generate them infinitely.
I watched Raphael, now fully awake, performing forbidden resurrection arts, all while remaining undetectable even to him. After regaining my senses, I downloaded both Raphael and Beelzebub.
Because Raphael was compatible with Athena, she asked me to integrate its skills into her—and I followed through on her request.
Curious if I could extract any other abilities with my current plot force, I was astonished to find I could. Although it was a minor skill, I downloaded the Sticky Thread from Souei and then returned to my world.
Now Athena has gained the following core power-ups from its integration with Raphael:

Fine Manipulation: Threads can be made as thin as a hair or as thick as a rope, allowing for delicate operations like crafting traps or restraining multiple enemies simultaneously.
