Chapter 122 - Genesis Seed (1/2)

Aurus was at a loss for words. He truly could not believe nor fathom how easily his Soul Power had increased. Sure, he did obtain a new skill from having insanely high Soul Power. Not only that, with insanely high Soul Power, he had an easier time recalling and deducing certain things than before.

But what Aurus was worried about was that...this would basically make him visible to the strong Animates!

”Ah, fuck,” Aurus could not help but curse out. ”Why the fuck did I go overboard with this Soul Power thing? How did I even get to the conclusion that a Soul Power of 100 would guarantee me fully clearing the third trial? It could be 30 for all I care!”

If he knew that an external entity affected his thinking in terms of the conditions to fully clear the third trial, he would definitely be furious and bear a grudge until one of them dies.

Gradually, this anger died down as he vented out all of his anger, letting out a soft sigh in the end. ”There's no point complaining over what has been done. I'll just grab a soul suppressing or soul masking skill from the inheritance I own or from the Alliance Market. If they have a lot of those skills, that would definitely be great.”

”For now, it's time to focus on the Genesis Tree.” As he muttered the words 'Genesis Tree', a glint could be seen in Aurus' nonexistent eyes. He had finally obtained a large amount of Genesis Points, giving him the chance to finally take a step in the Genesis Tree.

”Open the Genesis Tree,” Aurus commanded the system.

Ding!

Not long after, the system responded with a holographic screen appearing in front of his field of vision. But what it contained was not what he expected.

'Genesis Seed/Tree System DLC [0/1]'

”Eh?” Aurus was left speechless after seeing that the Genesis Tree he was very familiar with was actually an additional part of the system locked behind a paywall...just like other parts of the system.

”I remember the Genesis Tree very well, but there's the word 'Seed' beside it,” Aurus muttered to himself as gears turned in his mind, creating a possible hypothesis as to what he saw. ”Does that mean I have to nurture a Genesis Seed first before it becomes a Genesis Tree?”

Aurus had a feeling that this was going to use up a lot of his Genesis Points. Nonetheless, it was something he had been yearning for all this time, so he commanded the system, ”Buy the Genesis Seed DLC. Give me a prompt before truly buying though.”

Ding!

And as requested, a prompt screen appeared in front of his field of vision, asking the question, 'The Genesis Seed DLC costs 50 Genesis Points to unlock. Would the user like to unlock the DLC?'

Seeing that it only costed 50 Genesis Points, Aurus hastily calculated the remaining Genesis Points, which came to an amount that neared 200 points. With that in mind, he did not hesitate to buy the Genesis Seed DLC.

Ding!

'50 Genesis Points have been deducted.'

'The Genesis Seed DLC has been bought.'

'The [Genesis Seed System] has been opened to the user.'

Skimming through the notification log, Aurus looked for the words where the transaction was successful, finding it not long after. After seeing it with his own eyes, Aurus then opened the Genesis Seed System without hesitation.

Ding!
