Chapter 724: All for One, None for All (1/2)
In the waiting chamber, plenty of cosmicians wanted to meet and properly greet Jack but were turned away. The Sicabor twins worked as a social buffer, keeping those with lower social status from imposing their conversation with Jack which took place in a barrier of silence.
Jack was very interested in speaking with the twins and their offer to visit their homeworld, but Jack was too invested in his system's newest notifications. He assumed he could glance through them and clear them away but suddenly gasped in shock.
[Combining of significant achievements completed in unison: completed]
[Combining of significant achievements with event achievement in unison: completed]
[All for one, none for all: completed]
Momentarily ignoring the questioning gazes of the twins, Jack selected his newly updated achievement and lost control of his jaw. It limply fell as his eyelids lost the ability to blink.
[All for one, none for all: completed]
[Defeat and obliterate more than two hundred late one-star foes by using yourself as bait and sacrifice, then self-reviving to claim everything as your own along with the key to Glacier Keep's nexus. Event reward: 25,000 skill points. Two-star reward: 50,000 skill points. Would you like to claim this reward?]
”Hello? Jack? What's wrong?!” Woltin chuckled as he shook Jack's motionless body.
”Uh, umm…” Jack shook his head, coming back to reality. ”Sorry… I just got caught up in thought, is all…”
While Jack immediately claimed his greatest reward to date, Wollice repeated his question, ”So… what was the true treasure?”
”I'm… I'm not sure. You didn't miss much. After the explosion, I claimed the keys and opened the barrier for the third purple core. Now my card is like this.” Holding up his card, Jack added, ”Apart from that, I'm not even sure what this is for.”

Beyond the Kartonian atmosphere, the vastness of space hid none of its beauty or splendor. However, that natural scenery was abruptly interrupted by a shockwave of green energy. A large spacecraft had finally arrived at its destination.
That ship was almost two kilometers long and at least one hundred meters wide. The pitch-black metal allowed it to blend in well with the surrounding space and faint glowing lights would occasionally glimmer around the ship's exterior. There were two open balconies, one on each side, and three open decks at the front, center, and rear of the vessel. With dozens of floors streamlined windows on every floor, the ship gargantuan and powerful yet aloof and agile. Flexible engines at the front and back allowed for the ship to travel at speeds unfathomable to most cosmicians and stop without a second thought, with no need to coast or drift in space.
