YM778.TV Chapter 328 A Choice
"I should probably fix you first before asking a question, right?" I chuckled to myself and extended my hand.
Suddenly, a dark ominous energy came out of me instead of the light element I had expected to come out instead. Seeing this, I quickly retracted my hand, but before I could fully do so I heard a ring in my mind as well as seeing a notification bar appear right before my very eyes.
[The Heavenly Feline egg within your soul space has reacted to the being you have shrouded in your energy]
[Would you like to absorb the being into the Heavenly Feline egg within your soul space?]
Narrowing my eyes, I did not hesitate to choose yes, immediately beginning to disintegrate the catgirl as she looked at me with pleading eyes as if she was begging for mercy, a mercy that would never come.
"What are you doing!?" Laila flickered next to me and tried to kick me, but my chaos aura stopped it in its track and as if it had a mind of its own, it had moved to sweep her off her feet before moving upwards and descending downwards in a motion that indicated it wanted to crush her.
It was only then that I stopped my aura from moving as it wanted, retracting it back into myself and keeping a slither of it shrouding my body since I could not fully retract the aura inside of me.
When the feline in front of me had finally disintegrated into specks of light, I quickly sucked back the energy that I had released accidentally and immediately felt a change occurring.
To be exact, I felt all the energy I had taken back immediately go towards the egg as well as some of my chaos energy being sucked in, making the egg become an entire shade darker as well as becoming slightly purple in the center of it as it emitted a dim light
"Why did you do that! We could have used her for something!" Scar shouted from my side while everyone else who had finally arrived next to me looked at me with mixtures of gratitude and shock at what I had done.
Of course, one of the most prominent emotions among the bunch was the fact that they were confused, making me smirk as I looked back at them, not that they could see it or anything.
[Congratulation! You have completed the 50th wave!]
[You have completed the trial of strength and all had shown your own individual strengths in the battles so far]
[Transporting contestants to the rewards room...]
Immediately, we all felt the strange pull everyone would feel when being transported. It felt the same as going through all the teleportations when going through the teleportation hubs on the way to the military camp.
Eventually, we found ourselves in a different room where we all stood a few feet apart from each other while being separated by some kind of translucent magic barrier that stopped us from getting close or touching one another.
[All rewards for this trial will be personalized to each individual. Please choose from the 3 options that you have been given]
Looking forwards, I activated my divine eyes to their maximum capabilities and began peering into the three rewards, while analyzing every bit and fiber of their components and structure.
The first one looked like some kind of mysterious egg, yet with a single analysis, I was capable of finding out almost everything about it, or at least everything that had been determined.
[Name: ???
Item: Shadow Raker\'s Egg
Age: 98 Years Old
Description: An egg is found once every century. Can be hatched into a powerful Shadow Raker, one of the most ferocious and powerful beasts of the bird species within the galaxy. They are laid in the galaxy core and hatch after being linked or soul-bound by an intelligent creature or its mother. They are known for killing their soul bonds to finally free themselves, however, this can be avoided by creating a divine contract or above. The egg can also be used to make savory dishes. The Shadow Raker omelet is well known in the universe for being extremely tasty and can rival the taste of food of the higher planes.
Creator: Unknown (Adult Female Shadow Raker)
Materials: Does not apply (Living being that has yet to sprout a completed soul)
Grade: Cosmic B
Durability: 75% (Incomplete soul)]
Enchantments: None ]
[Note: Heavenly Feline egg is reacting to the egg before you]
\'What the fuck? Does the egg in my soul space just want to eat anythign and everything?\'
[It\'s just reacting to things it can absorb and consume. An example was that catgirl from before. Due to her being of the same group species, a feline, the heavenly feline egg felt and was superior, allowing it to absorb another feline for energy and bloodline attributes.]
\'Ah that makes sense.\' I thought before finally peeling my eyes away from the shadowy black egg and instead of moving it towards the next reward.
\'Analysis\'
[Name: Asura\'s God Slayer Body
Item: Divine Grade Body Art
Age: 5 000+
Description: Created by one of the descendants of the Asura race, this body art has been created to be wielded by a body in which wields divine energy, allowing the user to weaponize it against the gods themselves. It has been created with the Asura manuals as its foundations, therefore even though it might seem inferior, it is simply just not complete yet. Becoming the person to complete the manual is up to you.
Note: There are other parts to this manual that you must find to get the entire God Slayer foundation, ranging from martial art to cultivation art. Only once all of them are finally merged can the wielder finally complete the manual.
Note 2: You do not choose the manual... The manual chooses you
Creator: Unknown Descendent of the Asura Race
Materials: ---
Grade: Astral X (incomplete)
Durability: 100% ]
Enchantments: Mending, preservability, fate alteration]
\'Crap... Two good ones right off the bat. Hopefully, the last one isn\'t as good\' I prayed, yet when I looked over, I was left both disappointed and shocked, disappointed that my wish did not come true, yet shocked by what I was seeing.
[Name: Bloodline Awakening Pill
Item: Pill
Age: 29 seconds
Description: This is a pill that will awaken a dormant bloodline. The stronger the race you hail from, the more powerful the bloodline in which will awaken. In most cases people will just awaken their own bloodline however, they can also awaken another bloodline or a completely new bloodline that had never been discovered or awakened before, yet that is extraordinarily rare and almost unseen in the last few million years in the universe.
Creator: The Temple of Wishes
Materials: Blood-Water Grass + A Genetic mutator + A Genetic enhancer
Grade: Cosmic+ (Works on anything below the Cosmic plane)
Purification: 100% ]
Enchantments: None]
"Damnit!" I explained out loud causing everyone around me to glance at me for a moment before going back to reading the descriptions of their own items.
Looking around, I could see that everyone had gotten a different selection of 3 items, yet at the same time, there was something different about my own items compared to the rest of them.
Looking at my own items, they were all either at the Astral X tier or above. Even the last one which had the best grade out of all of them was close to reaching the next grade seeing how it says "Cosmic +" Instead of giving it a letter or tier within the Cosmic plane.
Yet, even then I could not choose it straight away because while it might have an extremely high grade, putting in the fact that I hadn\'t even met anyone close to the Cosmic plane, it still did not mean it was better than the rest of the items in front of me.
From what I could tell, they were all almost equally valuable in their own right.
While the pill might be the highest grade, it did not mean that there were no downsides to it.
For example, I might be capable of maybe awakening the semi-dormant Demi-God bloodline that I had gotten from the inheritance before fighting the wyvern, and even if I didn\'t get that, there is a chance that I might awaken some new bloodlines that I do not know of.
At the same time, there is a chance that I might awaken an enhanced human bloodline or even a human bloodline of our ancestors that seemed to pass and dilute over the passing years, decades, centuries, and millennia.
The same thing could be said about the Astral X grade manual. While it might be the lowest grade of them all and even incomplete, this did not mean that the item was the worst out of them all as it could probably help me all the way up to the Cosmic plane while giving my body enough enhancements to allow me to fight those from the God race since I now know that they are keeping an eye on me.
Finally, the first item, that being the egg, seems like it might be beneficial in hatching the egg within my soul space, but who knows whether or not the thing in there is good or not and who knows if it will be as beneficial to hatching the egg as I would think it would be.
The key difference between my rewards and the others however was pretty simple.
Here, I had 3 items that I could not choose between due to their high grades and extremely needed qualities, while the others got things that were barely needed for them.
To be precise, everything that they got was barely within the Astral grade, and even then, their items weren\'t the best either since they didn\'t have much of a problem when choosing between all of those that were presented in front of them.
However, after thinking for a while I had finally made my decision in front of the peering eyes of everyone around me, finally stretching my hand towards the only thing that I would need for the meantime to make sure I am safe and capable of fighting anything that attacks me.
The choice was...
