Chapter 138: Obtaining Red Entries, Rewards
[Simulation Ended.]
[Evaluating rating, rewards...]
Orion sharply opened his eyes. The familiar ceiling of his Upper District residence in Belobog came into view. He gasped for air, sweat trickling down his forehead.
The feeling... from a Star God controlling the universe, he had suddenly fallen back to being a 15-year-old mortal boy. The immense disparity caused a strong tearing sensation in his consciousness. After a moment, he gradually came back to himself.
This simulation was so immersive that returning to reality now left him with a sense of disorientation. Orion slowly sat up.
"Cifera..." He recalled the girl, and Aglaea, Castorice, Hyacine, Phainon... Although he knew it was just a simulation, the emotions felt so real.
"Forget it, it's too early to think about these things." Orion suppressed those emotions. The most urgent task was to wait for the Astral Express to arrive. Only then would he have the chance to leave this frozen planet and perhaps, one day, truly go to Amphoreus.
He stood up and looked out at Belobog's night view. "Being a mortal is actually quite good." At least now he was well-fed, clothed, and had his own house. It was his birthday tonight, and Bronya had spent a wonderful time with him. The way her cheeks flushed as she handed him his gift was quite adorable.
Just then, the system's notification sound rang in his mind:
[This simulation's overall evaluation: Creation-tier!]
[You were merely an insignificant signal, yet you awakened self-awareness in a virtual world and ultimately ascended to godhood. You are the destruction that overturns all ages, and also the lingering echo that leaves an eternal memory for one person. You reshaped the entire universe, creating an eternal paradise of memories.]
[Evaluation Reward: Villain Points +3000!]
[Final Settlement: A total of 11,700 Villain Points obtained from this simulation!]
"Creation-tier?!" Orion's eyes lit up. This evaluation was higher than the last. Ascending to a Star God entirely by his own will from a virtual existence was a higher achievement.
[Based on this simulation's evaluation, the host will receive one free opportunity to permanently exchange a[Red or lower]entry and one free opportunity to permanently exchange a[Gold or lower]entry from the initial three talents.]
[Would you like to view the reward list and proceed with the exchange now?]
"Two entries?!" Orion was ecstatic. "One Red and one Gold! Exchange! Exchange immediately!"
[Free Entry Three-Choice One:]
Perfect Replication (Red): Touching an object allows you to replicate its abilities for one day. Cooldown: one day. (Requires 25,000 Villain Points)
Memory Armament (Gold): Extract power from "memory" to temporarily "reappear" powerful weapons or armor you have witnessed. Can maintain three armaments simultaneously. (Requires 10,000 Villain Points)
Weapons Master (Purple): Quickly master any weapon. (Requires 5,000 Villain Points)
Orion barely hesitated. The Red entry [Perfect Replication] was a must-choose! In the simulation, it was the MVP. As for the next, he definitely had to choose [Memory Armament]. In the simulation, I quite liked the Thief of Fire's black sword... Replicating that should be possible, right?
"I choose these two entries!"
[Selection confirmed. Red entry[Perfect Replication]and Gold entry[Memory Armament]have been permanently loaded.]
Next, he checked the other available entries for exchange.
[List of exchangeable entries for this simulation:]
Emanator of Remembrance (Red): Become an Emanator of Remembrance, able to freely traverse and manipulate memories. (Requires 30,000 Villain Points)
Chrysos Heir (Gold): Possess the same golden blood, gain the power of Destruction, and gain +1000 years of lifespan. (Requires 8,000 Villain Points)
Stellaron (Gold): 10,000 points.
Gambler's Luck (Purple): 5,000 points.
Sneak Attack (Blue): 2,000 points.
One-Slash Termination (Red): 30,000 points.
The Swarm (Red): 40,000 points.
He scanned them quickly. Rather than spending 30,000 points on an unknown power like the Emanator, it was more practical to upgrade [Lord Ravager].
[Lord Ravager (Purple) can be upgraded further.]
[Upgrade to Gold quality: Requires 20,000 Villain Points.]
[Upgrade to Red quality: Requires 40,000 Villain Points.]
Not enough Villain Points... As Orion was thinking this, the system suddenly popped up a new notification:
[Ding! Detected that the host's current compatibility with the Path of Destruction is extremely high!]
[Collecting one wild Stellaron can directly upgrade[Lord Ravager]to Gold quality! Collecting two wild Stellarons can upgrade it to Red quality!]
"What?"
