Chapter 113: Without a Hitch [1]
"Is there really no choice?"
"..."
"Why? Why does it have to be you?"
In this space painted with darkness, 2 voices can be heard.
"There's no other choice."
"What about them?! You've sacrificed enough!"
The woman's voice became more hoarse as she shouted. It can be inferred that she's crying softly.
"Don't leave me behind..."
"Fuuu!"
I woke up as if water is splashed on my head.
What was that dream? It's not [Sixth Sense]. What was it?
I couldn't recognize the voices, so they might be some strangers? But I only dream if it's connected to me, though...
My attention was taken away by the huge prompt in front of me.
Are you kidding me? Is this... all the Authorities that I could acquire on the Lucky Draw+? Looking at it, there should be almost 100+ Authorities in it.
This is insane.
Sadly, I can only pick 5? Well, these are the Authorities we're talking about. I do wonder what will happen after I get it now.
Only Deities can have Authorities, so will I have one at Demigod Realm?
I have so many questions waiting to be answered right now, but it's more important to tell others of my situation first.
But first of all...
"Why isn't anyone here?"
Inside an interstellar ship, I found myself lying down on the floor with my Armor on. What's more, we aren't flying in space as I found out about the situation with the 2 detection modules that I have.
We are on...?
'Master, you're awake.'
'Xiao Song? what happened to Little Xue?'
'Fast asleep. The energy that transformed her is a burden to her. She needs more time to recuperate.'
'I see. What happened when I lost consciousness?'
'After you 'slept', your Captain...'
She began telling me a long story in her cold voice. By what I mean long story, it's comparable to 12-episode anime.
After escaping from the distortion plane, we got found once again. The others fought for a while, but the Operation Head and Team Captain, Vera, decided to run into a random dimension once again.
This time, she didn't opt for the distortion plane. By randomly going to different dimensions, they shook off the ones chasing us for a while.
When they're in the midst of running, they accidentally entered a "special" kind of dimension-- the ones created after a world falls.
When a world gets destroyed, it either becomes a ruin similar to the ones from the distortion plane or it forms an independent dimension similar to this one.
This dimension is similar to dungeons in novels. It has a boundary as well as a limited ecosystem. They were formed due to them separating from the fallen worlds before being destroyed completely.
Meanwhile, the other parts of the fallen worlds became ruins because they couldn't detach from them, bringing them to destruction.
When the others got into this world, they found out that it was a technological civilization. Relying on the advanced tech that the Alliance has, they went to some territories undetected. They hacked their way through the identification systems as well with the help of Kaede and other Mechanic Deities.
Right now, they were in some sort of dock. The others went out and rested outside after concluding that this is a safe world. The persistent chase and the events from the distortion plane tired them out, so everyone decided that it'd be best if they rest for a while.
They went out to survey this planet while I was unconscious.
"This is a safe world..."
To me, I couldn't completely relax in a foreign dimension. Even if they find out that it's a safe one, there's nothing absolute in this world. Just like how we got chased by a Life Assimilator Apocalypse at the last second, no one knows whether we'll be fine here, too.
"I should power up first."
In this unfamiliar world, the only thing that I can rely on is my strength. Even that event that killed many of my teammates is helpless under the panel's power.
Yes, it's not my power that killed it, but the pan-wait, should I call it a System right now?
Looking at the loading bar prompt that's still not loaded yet, I decided to stick to calling it "Panel" for a while.
Without further ado, I activated the Special Lucky Draw. To my surprise, the hundreds of Authorities on that list started refreshing and became fewer. Some of the names in the list changed as it went.
From my observation, the ones who kept changing are the Ruler Body ones, the evolved form of God Physiques and Deific Body traits. If most traits, be it control-type ones, damage-type ones, and so on evolves into Authorities, Physique-type traits evolve into King's Body.
A Deity has its own mature domain, the so-called "Kingdom". They have the power to rule, the so-called "Authority". Lastly, they have a body suitable for Kings, the so-called "King's Body". From this pattern, we can see that the core concept of a "Deity" is to 'rule'.
Together with their foundations (Body, Mind, and Soul), they become what we know as Deities.
But... There is some King's Body that changed into "God-King Body" ???
Even I, who have 'understood' many books, haven't heard of it. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that those traits might've merged and created some new ones.
It's just like what happened to the [Demon Dragon Deific Body] that I got earlier on.
"Eh?"
To my surprise, there's now an option to "Spin All", unlike before that required me to pull for every single one of them.
As a part of the "Ten-Pull Squad", I feel better if I use the "Spin All" option.
As I clicked that option, 6 roulettes appeared. It started spinning very fast to the point that I couldn't see its results. After all of the roulettes stopped spinning, they disappeared and were replaced by a blue panel.
==================
Special Lucky Draw Results:
[Everlasting Light God-King Body]
[Space Authority]
[Earth Authority]
[Boundless Life God-King Body]
[Primordial Yin God-King Body]
Innate Talent: [Existence Decoy]
==================
Below it, the prompt [Done] can be seen.
'3 of these God-King Body? These sound so amazing, and I got 3.'
Well, as far as I remember, there are around a total of 8 God-King Body in total. The total amount of Authority that I saw in the prompt after everything merged is about 50, so I am very lucky in this regard.
With that, I clicked [Done]. In that instant, huge changes started to occur in me.
