Chapter 2082 System Back Online... And Back Off Again
Rui took a deep breath and raised his hand over to Azrael. It was the same hand holding the Underworld Relic. "Sir, you probably know already, but I'm the one who got the Underworld Relic."
Azrael smiled and nodded. "It truly was a surprise when I arrived in the Underworld and found out you won the thousand years competition. I won't lie. We already had a plan to deal with Mephisto when he used the Underworld Relic. However, it seems it won't be necessary anymore."
Rui was happy to hear that. "Very good. However, the Angels must not forget I will not be able to take action during the attack. The Underworld Relic was made in a way that it can not be used against other Devils. Instead, all I can do is to keep it safe as it is almost indestructible. Not to mention all the Elder Devils can feel its presence, so trying to hide it is impossible too."
Azrael didn't mind. "Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll have two Archangels to stay close to you, and our forces will be between your group and the enemy forces. There will be no risks since the Devils won't have enough experts to defend our main forces anymore."
"Alright, Rui. Another thing I was sent to check was the Fragments of the Universe Foundation. The Underworld Relic has one of them, obviously. But what about Belial's Fragment? Do you know if there is a good way of getting to that guy?" Azrael entered one of the main topics other than the Reincarnation Path.
Rui wasn't surprised by that. However, his next words did surprise Azrael instead. He told everything about Belial and the possible Fragment that disappeared from the Swamo of No Return. "What?! Such things happened? That's great! The Elder Devils will be busy looking after these Fragments. It's indeed the best opportunity for us to come down."
"And when will that happen, sir?" Rui asked back.
"One year at least, three years at most. I'll be staying here and making other preparations if you don't mind." Azrael answered.
Rui obviously had no objections. "You are more than welcome, sir. I'll send my subordinates out to investigate the Fragments and Belial, as the Heavens will need the Fragments. No one will find it suspicious since all the Elder Devils are after them."
"I'm counting on you." Azrael accepted that. He and Rui conversed for a little longer. After a while, Azrael was guided to a room of his own and a few servants that could be trusted to not say anything.
Rui looked at his room's door and narrowed his eyes. The shock on his face had already disappeared. Instead, he seemed to be deeply concerned. He took out a Golden Thoughts Transmission Talisman and put it on his head. A moment later, the talisman burnt out, and his message was sent. 'The Angels are coming... I hope I didn't make the wrong choice.' Right after, Rui disappeared from his room as well.
Back at the twins' place, Sesame had chosen a desolate place where no one would try to find them. He might have been locked inside the Swamp for many years, but it didn't mean he didn't know the layout of the Underworld anymore.
"This place is called the Sparse Black Grass Land," he explained. "It is a region of the Underworld that no one really cares about. It has little Devilish Energy, no natural treasures, almost no Devils, and pretty much no other beings, either. Due to how big it is, it is also the best place to be if you wish to hide. We will stay here for a while before going to the Temporal Path."
Roan was satisfied with that. "We have pretty much no use for Devilish Energy anyway. With the amount of Divine Stones we accumulated during the years, we can afford to cultivate with them only. Besides, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm already converts Devilish Energy into Divine Energy. It's just not as useful as being in a place with Divine Energy from the start."
[Hey, the system is about to wake up.] Sister Orb's voice suddenly echoed in their mind inside the Dimensional Realm.
Rean immediately stopped studying Hex's runes and got out of the Circuitry Formation Repository. "Has it already been 50 hours?"
Roan and Celis nodded. "Pretty much. There should be just a few minutes now."
Everyone waited for the system message to pop out until finally...
*Pin!*
[System Upgrade Complete]
[Random Destiny Points are not available as a reward anymore. All Destiny Points will be given through quests. Quests will give three times more Destiny Points.]
[Processing Power has also improved.]
[Reward List has been upgraded.]
[The System Reward Option, Destiny Perception Range, has been removed. The 300000 Destiny points used in the three levels bought for it have been reimbursed.]
[Destiyn Points: 833215]
The Destiny Perception Range was the option that increased the range that the system could feel the changes of destiny caused by the twins. Thanks to that, more Destiny Points could be awarded as long as the system could detect it. Now that only quests will give Destiny Points, the Destiny Perception Range Option became useless. Nonetheless, the twins were happy. After all, they recovered the 300000 Destiny Points used on it.
However, that's not the part they were interested in. "Should happen anytime now..."
Sure enough!
*Pin!*
[A new Fragment of the Universe Foundation has been recovered.]
[Destiny Points Reward: 1000000 Destiny Points]
[Total Destiny Points: 1833215]
[The system will go through a Processing Power Upgrade now.]
[Time for Upgrade Conclusion: 75 hours.]
[System-related functions will be deactivated during this period. The system advises the hosts to exert caution during this period.]
"Hell yea!" Immediately, everyone cheered up. "As we thought, the more fragments we get, the higher the reward."
[Yeap, that's how it should be,] Sister Orb agreed. [Better than that. The two Upgrades of Processing Power will be greatly beneficial. I shouldn't need more than an hour at most to completely hack into Divine Middle-Level Formation now. And that's if it is a huge formation. Otherwise, it will be even faster.]
Indeed that was truly a great processing upgrade.
