Chapter 820 (2/2)

It once more proved to him that developing the group would be worth it.

When Randidly was finally alone in his cabin, he released a long sigh. He had learned a lot today, but nothing that would help Earth. For now, at least, his goal was to assist Tellus. Honestly, it didn’t look like he would receive any information as to what the portal at the end of the Second Calamity meant. Was it a passage to the Third Calamity? Was it part of the Second Calamity? Some sort of reward?

It had already been five months since Randidly had come to Tellus. Much more and he would worry about whether enough Zones had joined Earth for the First Calamity to arrive. Soon, it would be time to return.

From what he had learned from the Patron of Ash, the strange passage that would allow for ascension was difficult. The Patron himself didn’t have enter into the portal, which was the reason he became a Patron. So if nothing else, it was a chance to abort the passage higher into the System. That was an option that Randidly wished to research some more. For all he detested the Creature, being able to save the Earth from further torment was worth investigating.

Of course, there would likely be costs to him becoming a Patron, not the least of which was holding a role in the System. He would need to understand those too before he made any decisions.

Sighing, Randidly let those thoughts fall away. Instead, he finally brought up the notifications he had received while transitioning his Soulskill. Immediately, Randidly skipped through the almost three dozen warnings that he had received from the System, regarding the danger of what he was doing, and looked at the meat of the notifications.

Calculating… Considering changes…

Your Soulskill has merged with your physical body! Unable to predict further spiritual growth. Calculating differences…

Adjusting for influence…

Recalculating…

Recalculating…

Congratulations! You have created the Soulskill “Figure of the Alpha Cosmos!” Your body will be slowly empowered by the parallel universe that it has become! As the Alpha Cosmos grows, so will you.

Warning! Because your Soulskill has become a portion of your physical body, growth will not be caused by use of PP. However, upon reaching certain total amounts of PP, you will unlock bonuses based upon the growth of your world. These bonuses will increase as your Alpha Cosmos Grows.

Congratulations-

Recalculating…

Please allow Alpha Cosmos to grow so more information can be gathered.

Randidly frowned. Of all the confusing notifications, he focused directly on the last one.

Please allow Alpha Cosmos to grow so more information can be gathered, huh…

On the one hand, Randidly would need to allow it to grow. He hoped that the very intangible bonuses talked of in the notifications would end up being helpful to him.

On the other hand…

Randidly had a sinking feeling in his chest that this meant something. Of all the changes he had made in his surroundings thus far, the System had never been confused as this. Which meant the things that happened before to him, through chance or talent on the part of the originator, weren’t worthy of note.

This merger between his physical body and the Soulskill was unique.

And it had caught the System’s eye.
