Chapter 78 (1/2)
Patrick stared at the floating text in his vision. Become the ruler of the world through the market? What the heck was this?

Gloria furrowed her brow. “Mission? Die if I fail? Whose shitty prank is this?”

Logan stroked his chin and raised an eyebrow. “System? I don’t think I’ve read about a system in any books before….”

Vremya frowned at Karta. What was the stinky dog doing? “Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“What do you mean?” Karta asked, her ears perking up. “Since there’s no one else around competing for users, this is the best method!”
Pravos released her personal computer and turned towards Vremya. “What is she doing?”
Karta snorted. “I’m assigning ninety-nine users my marketplace system. They’ll each work on a different part of the world, and then when there’s no where else to expand, they’ll consume each other to grow. Eventually, there’ll be one winner who owns the whole place.”
Vremya rubbed his chin. It wasn’t a bad idea, not a bad one at all. It was a shame he couldn’t do the same with avatars. Unlike consuming markets, if one person killed another, the majority of the spiritual energy they consumed over their lifetime wouldn’t be refunded. Well, it didn’t really matter what the stinky dog did. “Just make sure your interactions with my avatar aren’t counted as heavenly interference.”
“No problem,” Karta said. “Like you said, nothing material is being sent down there.”
“Good.” Vremya nodded. “It better stay that way.”
Karta rolled her eyes. “You’re not the only stuck in this black hole, okay? I know better than to sabotage myself.”

Grandpa Vremya frowned. It seemed like the airship was under attack, but who was brave enough to attack the boat with a Moon Lotus Sect banner atop its deck? Since the inner disciples weren’t knocking on the cabin door to ask him for help, then they obviously had the situation under control. The ride was a bit bumpy, but with the barriers etched into the boat’s formations, it wasn’t an issue. Right now, he was condensing his third foundational pillar. His first ability was attracting. His second ability was condensing. His third ability was going to be based on absorption. Whenever Gravitat had fought with the titans, his black holes had always grown larger after pulling the titans inside. Clearly, it must’ve been absorbing the mass into itself to grow.
It wouldn’t be long before his third pillar solidified. He had the help of millions of spirit stones after all. Also, the attraction radius of his first foundational pillar had increased thanks to the creation of his second foundational pillar. With his third one, he suspected the radius would increase once more. As for his combative abilities, he wasn’t worried about it. The Frostwind Armor Golem would be enough until he reached the golden-core stage.
