Chapter 92: Constitution Change And Rewards [2]
Chapter 92: Constitution Change And Rewards [2]
***
As Zephyra clapped her hands, a system interface opened up in front of him.
[Main Assimilation Completed!]
Another screen opened in front of him.
Elemental Points: 2
Choose Elements:
1 Point Elements:
- Sound (Maker)
- Ice (Manipulation)
- Crystal (Maker)
2 Point Elements:
- Energy (Manipulation)
- Gravity (Manipulation)
- Nature (Manipulation)
Amon's brows raised a little in surprise.
He wasn't expecting this in the least.
His head lifted from the screen and looked at Zephyra.
'So this was why she told me to wait when I was about to rage on my blood element...' He thought, already knowing she could listen to them.
She subtly nodded.
Looking at the elements, his curiosity piqued a little.
He looked up again and asked her something.
"Are these rewards and points given to me by you?" He asked.
Considering that she knew about these things, were they given to him by her?
If so, didn't that make the system her creation? Does that mean she could give anything to him?
A part of him hoped that was the case but a part also knew that it certainly wasn't.
And contrary to his hopes, she shook her head.
"No. These elements and quests given to you are completely under the system's decision. All I have is partial control over the system. I can see some things at a certain time before the system gives them and can also give you some minor quests. But...."
"The system by itself is something higher than us 'gods'."
That was a surprising bit of information.
Amon raised his brows. It was also interesting.
By her words, was it correct to assume that the system was an entity completely above Zephyra and Solaran?
It was terrifying to think about considering that Zephyra and Solaran by themselves were gods.
But it made sense.
Now that he thought about it, this was something also stated in the book in a conversation between Michael and Solaran.
Unfortunately, before the system's mysteries could be revealed, that last volume incident happened.
He was about to ponder further when she interrupted further in.
"Even what you have right now isn't the complete system. It's simply a fragment granted to us 'gods' that can be passed down to our herald."
Amon's expression contorted to an 'o' shape.
It was simply a fragment of the complete system yet she still only had partial access to it.
It was terrifying to think what the complete system was.
He focused on another word in her answer.
Heralds...
Though he already had an idea of what they were from the novel, it didn't hurt to listen to a better explanation from Zephyra.
Unlike Solaran, who explained it with a carefree attitude in a novel, it was better to listen to her.
"What are Heralds?" He asked and she nodded, probably expecting such a question from him. "Herald is basically a being that becomes a 'god's' servant in exchange for a fragment of a 'god's' power. Like how you are my herald." She explained.
"The system fragment that I told you about before is also granted to our herald. Each 'fragment' is mostly similar with some changes that differ with each 'god'."
Amon nodded.
It was making sense till now. He had noticed it before but even though his and Michael's system matched, there were still some differences.
One such difference was 'Void Training' which was something only available to him.
He had never seen it on Michael's system.
To sum it up, the system he had was called 'Fragment of the Void'. And Michael's system was 'Fragment of the Sun'.
These bits of pieces of information were interesting. They were never mentioned by Solaran. 'Probably because Michael never met another god or herald other than himself in the novel...' Amon concluded.
Or maybe he would meet after the end of ghouls. The ending was never shown after all.
"As my herald, you carry the title of 'The Herald of Nothingness." She pointed it out to him
and he nodded.
But then, replaying her information in his mind, he brought up a question.
"Can you have more than one herald?" He asked.
He asked this question since she was always referring to herald in singular form.
And also...
To confirm if Athena was a herald.
Though she didn't have [Void], she certainly had [Space]. It might have been possible in some
way.
But contrary to his thoughts, she shook her head.
"No. A 'god' can't have more than one herald. Though a herald can be replaced, there's no
point in doing that."
He nodded.
"As for your thoughts about Athena that if she's a herald, she isn't. Time and Space are reality elements but the elements of 'gods' are far above them. They aren't included with us."
He nodded.
And then, he was about to ask the final question on his mind.
During their conversation, she kept saying 'gods'.
Were there more than just Zephyra and Solaran? Or was she just referring to both of them?
But as his mouth opened, it froze as he looked at her gaze.
She had read his thoughts. And her gaze was clearly saying.
'Your mind will blow up with the information on this question.'
His mouth closed. In the end, he didn't ask.
But at least, it did confirm there were more gods than just 2 as she had mentioned Solaran and
herself before to him.
Dropping the topic, he was about to further ask some questions on his reincarnation when she
clapped.
"Alright, let's just get on with your rewards. This conversation has made me bored." She
started pouring tea again.
He narrowed his eyes, locking his inky black ones with her amethyst ones.
It was apparent that she had sensed his thoughts.
'She's trying to avoid the topic and answers...' He concluded.
Sensing his thoughts, she winked with a subtle nod.
Amon's face twitched.
'This grape goddess...' His gaze drifted to her neck.
It looked to be very fine. Fine enough to have her blood manipulated.
Sensing his insult, she looked at her hair.
Flick.
Then back at him.
Flick. Then her hair and back at him.
"Did you just call me a grape goddess?.." She questioned mumblingly, horrified.
He ignored her and looked back at his screen.
"No, I didn't" He answered with a stoic expression on his face.
She kept starting at him in shock for a whole minute while she caressed her hair.
But as she opened her mouth to retort, he locked his gaze back with her.
"Alright, I made my choice."
