[ Comprehensive Evaluation: A ]
This was Seliose's attribute panel. It looked crude, but clicking on the sub-menus revealed quite a bit of content.
After roughly understanding the overall panel, Aizen also understood how to use the Universal EXP and Gold in his hand.
Universal EXP could be used to increase attributes. Combined with special materials, it could also upgrade skill levels. The letter grades represented the character's upper limit. similar to the system in DanMachi, everyone's aptitude could only reach this limit. Improving beyond that was almost impossible because the person's capacity as a vessel ended there.
Gold's function was to combine with specific achievements and materials to raise her current cap, allowing her to break through further. A portion of her attributes would settle down, solidifying into her foundation, granting her the chance to climb higher again.
As for Traits and Specialties:
Aizen glanced over them. The Trait section had classic settings belonging to Auto-Battler gameplay: Bonds.
Path, Faction, Race, and Traits,all four categories had bond bonuses.
With Seliose officially recorded into his system, the situation was basically like the Familia members in DanMachi. From now on, Aizen could use Gold and Universal EXP to cultivate her, upgrade her, and later equip her with special Relics, Light Cones, and Curios.
Children, there's good news.
We are very familiar with this system.
Bad news.
We are too familiar with this system.
Why did I transmigrate only to deal with this classic miHoYo-style grinding mode again?
"These are your visualized panels."
"After we helped Tribios inherit the Coreflame and occupied the city, we obtained resources that can help you increase your strength."
"For example, when your regular training reaches its limit, you can use these resources to raise your attributes to your vessel's maximum value."
"And after reaching the absolute limit, other resources and materials can make your current strength settle into a foundation, breaking through the limits of your current vessel."
"Bonds are special buffs activated when more companions with the same Traits or Race as you join later."
"So, as long as we have enough resources and companions, fighting our way out of this fake world in the future won't be a problem at all."
Seliose listened to Aizen's explanation but didn't feel much. After all, she was still in her rising phase and hadn't encountered any so-called bottlenecks yet.
But being able to increase strength without training...
This ability was indeed very useful.
"Also regarding techniques. If combined with others' experience manuals and the like, it can also help you improve your skills rapidly."
"That sounds pretty good."
Seliose's eyes lit up. Although she had almost trained herself to max level behind closed doors, she was a bona fide martial arts fanatic. Her current spearmanship was all unorthodox, techniques summarized from fighting wild beasts and phantom beasts in the mountains.
If she could learn the experience of other spearmanship masters, her skills should be able to improve further.
"So, we not only need to take Janusopolis, we need more bases like this to obtain more resources to better cultivate our own people."
The vast majority of future Demigods were excellent fighters. Unfortunately, limited by the underlying rules of Amphoreus, they couldn't take the main stage and could only become cheerleaders.
But if Aizen could raise their power levels, in the future, they wouldn't have to wait for Sister Cyrene to risk her life feeding the AI to cultivate the Demiurge to save the world.
Who knew if this AI Memory Aeon could actually be fed successfully?
What if one move went wrong, and instead the Iron Tomb succeeded in its coronation? If one ultimate move came crashing down, wouldn't they just be waiting to GG alongside the Xianzhou and IPC people?
Moreover, there were other possibilities. What if this wasn't the Amphoreus Route, but an "IF" Route?
If the Mysterious Pointy Hat Lady didn't lure the Astral Express Crew over, and the Iron Tomb completely devoured Chaos-Lanna to complete its self-coronation... at that time, unless the Pointy Hat Lady forcibly took her own brain out and put it on the Iron Tomb's neck, he would also GG.
So.
Waiting for others to solve this Amphoreus dungeon was basically gambling with your life.
Since it's gambling with life, why not hold the possibility in your own hands?
Besides, if the Iron Tomb's neck can fit Nous, can fit the Pointy Hat Lady, can fit Chaos-Lanna... why can't it fit one of our own people cultivated by Brother here?
For example, the Demiurge main body isn't impossible, right?
Our Beloved is also one of the Primordial Factors of the First Cause of Life. A proper heir under the Scepter's banner.
Possessing the Golden Blood of "Destruction," the Factor of "Erudition," and the Seed of "Memory." A Chosen Daughter with three Paths upon her.
How can we let the outsider Pointy Hat Lady steal the peach?!
We absolutely cannot let her succeed in her cunning plot to obtain the Amphoreus residency permit by trickery! Kyu Kyu Kyu!!!
"Time waits for no one, Seliose. We have to speedrun the subsequent maps as fast as possible."
"We're working overtime today to clear the Special Chapter."
"Special Chapter?"
"I don't know the situation either. Anyway, let's go check it out together."
Saying this, Aizen didn't hesitate. He directly chose to enter the Special Story Scenario. In front of the three, an illusory door slowly unfolded. Aizen pushed it open and stepped inside. Seliose and Tribios didn't hesitate either. They had sworn to be with Aizen; they would absolutely not let him walk into unknown danger alone.
Thus.
The three stepped into the special scenario together. Greeting their eyes was a lush, green forest. Looking around, they could faintly see a city-state towering atop a mountain.
That was Janusopolis.
Visually, the height was lacking at least seven or eight hundred meters.
"Special Scenario..."
"Then, what is the scenario mission?"
Thinking this, he opened the log. A line of mission prompts fell into his eyes.
[ Save the Former Prophetic Saintess: Mortes ]
Seeing this prompt, Aizen's eyes instantly lit up. Wasn't this Teacher Tribbie's dear mother? And it seemed she wasn't a pure canary like Teacher Tribbie either.
If he could save her and bring her back to Janusopolis, couldn't he become a hands-off boss and go speedrun other maps?
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, from afar, on an open-air platform of Janusopolis, a black shadow began to fall without warning. Aizen's pupils instantly contracted. Without time to think, he shouted to Seliose beside him.
"Save her! Seliose!"
As his voice fell, the Humanoid Gundam Lady shot out like a hurricane. In the blink of an eye, she crossed a distance of over a hundred meters. Then, with a War God Jump, she caught the falling shadow in mid-air. Quickly adjusting her posture, she landed in a clearing with a stance that minimized the impact force.
"That person... could it be..."
Tribios trembled all over, recalling the gorgeous red hair revealed in the person in Seliose's arms for that split second. That was the same hair color as her own...
"Mother?"
