Chapter 128 - The Void (2/2)

'Speaking of which, I haven't decided on a type yet,' Aurus thought to himself. 'Would a Ruler guiding me be able to speed up the growth process of the seed?'

And with that, Aurus asked one more time, ”Just to make sure, I can choose any Ruler I want, right?”

”Yes,” the Inheritance Ruler replied.

”Even if the Ruler I choose to be doesn't really suit my current self?”

”Mhm.”

”Well then, that makes things easier.” Aurus chuckled as he followed up with another question.

”What Ruler rank does the Ruler of Space have?”

”Uh... let's see...” The Inheritance Ruler took a few seconds to ponder over its answer, responding not long after with, ”Heavenbound.”

”Then what Ruler is higher than the Ruler of Space?” Surprised that the Ruler of Space wasn't the highest rank, Aurus asked.

”Ruler of the Void,” The Inheritance Ruler succinctly answered.

”Then I choose to learn under the guidance of the Ruler of the Void,” Aurus replied afterwards.

Rather than refuting Aurus' decision, the Inheritance Ruler just accepted it. ”Alright then, it'll take a few seconds for your position as a Substitute Ruler of the Void to be official, so please wait.”

And with that, the Inheritance Ruler did not talk afterwards. Aurus did not worry about something bad happening to the Inheritance Ruler, hence he waited.

It took a minute for some action to happen, with a voice resounding throughout the room once more. This time though, it was a voice filled with the chilling aura of the void.

”Inheritor, do you truly wish to excel in the path of the Void and become its Ruler?” the chilling voice asked.

Without hesitation, Aurus answered, ”Yeah, got any problem with that?”

”No, not really.” Rather than being surprised by Aurus' answer, the chilling voice just brushed it off.

”With the power vested in me, you, the inheritor, shall now be deemed as a Substitute Ruler of the Void. In order to raise your standing in becoming a Ruler of the Void, you must first comprehend and expound to at least Peak Mortal level the skills I'm abiut to give you.”

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Hearing the multiple notification sounds resounding, Aurus opened his notification screen.

'You have received the title [Substitute Ruler of the Void]. This title shall be applied on the user permanently until it is replaced by a greater title or if the user wishes to not apply the title.'

'You have received the passive Ruler skill, [Void's Grace].'

'You have received the hybrid Ruler skill, [Movement of the Void].'

'You have received the hybrid Ruler skill, [Wrath of the Void].'

'You have received the hybrid Ruler skill, [Protection of the Void].'

'You have received the hybrid Ruler skill, [Formless Void].'

”Very nice.” Aurus looked at the skills that were given to him and from the names alone, they seemed to be pretty strong. While Aurus was still looking at the skills, the chilling voice then said, ”I wish you good luck in enhancing your understanding of all of these skills. For now, this is farewell.”

Whoosh!

And without even being able to say goodbye or thank you to the Ruler of the Void, Aurus was transported out of the Area 52 Inheritance at the very instant the Ruler of the Void was finished talking.

”Ain't that rude,” Aurus could not help but say as he travelled through the void.

”I wanted to say thank you, but with what you did...”

”You deserve more of a fuck you.”
