Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain

Chapter 27 Potion Of Power Evolution...

?Akiko was surprised to hear that, she didn't think that Hikaru would dare to give up the inheritance.

"What? Surprised?"

Akiko nodded, "That's right. If he loses Hodai's protection, he is nothing. I'm a bit confused, why did he do that?"

Laylah frowned and said, "According to what Hodai said, Hikaru took 300 million dollars, then gave up the inheritance himself."

When Akiko heard that, her face showed disdain, she snorted and said: "Huh! It turns out it was because of the money. He really is a fool. Doesn't he know that the inheritance could have helped him get more than 300 million dollars?"

Laylah shook her head: "We're not him, so we don't know what his purpose is."

"Purpose?!" Akiko sneered: "What can a simple thinker like a 10-year-old kid like him have? I think Hodai would rather let Tadashi become the heir."

"However, since he wanted Tadashi to become the rightful heir, he had to pay a large sum of money to Hikaru to give up the inheritance himself."

Laylah also didn't say anything, she was still driving, however, there were many other thoughts in her head that no one knew.

…

Hikaru took Velys back to the dorm, then stood outside the gate and waited for her to pack up.

At this moment, Hikaru was about to open the personal information panel when Rika's voice rang out.

[Yahoo! I'm back!]

Hikaru heard Rika's voice and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Hahahaha… what? Remember me? Are you worried about me? Hehehehe… you are really cute.]

Hikaru shook his head: "No, I'm afraid you'll disappear. At that point, your promise to bring me to the fantasy world will also disappear."

[Gru…gru… Do you believe I will bite you to death?]

"Okay, you should also tell me what the hell is going on."

[Huh! I was just talking to the Will of the World, he said that because there were so many other worlds fused together, he couldn't manage it.]

[That's why, currently, the plot pre-reading function can't be used because it's incorrect.]

Hikaru frowned upon hearing that. Thus, it meant that his advantage was no longer available.

It must be known that Hikaru confidently confronted the main characters because he could foresee their plot.

But if he lost that advantage, he was no different from other ordinary villains in the novel.

He frowned and said, "Did he just say that? At least give me something in return."

[Of course, there is some compensation for you. You have to thank me, I have struggled a lot to be able to bring you many benefits.]

"But… Doesn't the Will of the World protect the main characters?"

[Not really! This has to do with a lot of things, but you simply think that the main characters are the worms that are going through this world.]

"Why is that?" Hikaru felt extremely confused: "If that's the case, why does the main character have so much luck?"

[This would be very complicated to explain. You just need to know that the main characters are the ones who have stolen a lot of the world's energy and used it for themselves.]

[There are other reasons, which you shouldn't know about right now, because they're related to horrible existences.]

"Then you don't have to say it either." Hikaru shook his head and sighed. There is a saying that 'the more you know, the more dangerous you are', Hikaru, of course, knew that saying.

Also, he did not care that much. He just wanted to complete the quest, then go to the fantasy world, that was enough for him.

"So… What will the Will of the World give me in return?"

[Ding! You got a new skill, do you want to get it?]

"New skill?"

[Yes, that is the skill that the Will of the World compensates you with.]

"Accept!" Hikaru spoke softly.

Immediately after, an information board appeared in front of him.

…

Skill

Name: Surveillance

Tier: A

Description 1: This skill only works on the main characters you have met.

Description 2: This skill helps you to know the information such as: the plan, action, etc. of the main character.

Description 3: This skill can only be used once a day by each protagonist. It can accumulate up to three times.

Note: The skill can only be activated after the apocalypse hits.

…

Hikaru saw the skill description and nodded. He felt this skill was better than knowing the plot in advance.

Anyway, this is a chaotic world of many novels fused together. No matter how well you know the plot, it doesn't mean that the main events will unfold as in the novel.

But this skill was different, it could help Hikaru know many things in advance, including the main character's plans and actions.

At that time, Hikaru may have a plan to best oppose the protagonist.

"Wait! Grade A? How is the skill level divided?" Hikaru asked.

[Ah! The tiers are divided as follows. The lowest are Tier F, E, D, C, B and A. Above the A tier, there is also an S tier. However, the skill given to you by the World Will is A tier, so you don't need to think about finding an S tier skill acquisition.]

Hearing that, Hikaru nodded.

Rika continued: [Besides, other things like power, items are also divided by Tier as above.]

"So… what tier is my current strength?"

[You?! Hahaha… your current strength can't even reach Tier F-.]

"F-?" Hikaru heard that, and he felt extremely hopeless. Was he that weak? He thought

[Don't be pessimistic, do you know the High Orc race?]

"Of course I know." Hikaru immediately replied. Referring to High Orcs, he immediately thought of monsters with green skin, over 2 metres tall, and whose bodies were full of muscles.

They have two sharp fangs in their mouths, and are incredibly powerful. A high orc could defeat 4-5 ordinary human youths.

[The strength of a perfect High Orc is only F-tier, that's why the power of a perfect human that isn't even F-tier is normal.]

Hearing that, Hikaru could only shake his head and sigh, it seems that the humans in the fantasy world are just a race at the bottom of the food chain.

"Rika, I already have 5,000 points, I can withdraw 10 times at once, right?"

[Huh! That's right.] Rika snorted, looking a little disgruntled.

But Hikaru didn't care, he said, "Then… help me withdraw the reward."

[Okay! Start withdrawing!]

…

[Ding! Congratulations on your successful withdrawal of 10 times, you will receive:

- Power evolution potion x1.

- Proficient in using guns, x1.

- Good luck next time.

- Melee proficiency x1.

- Good luck next time.

- Power evolution potion x1.

- Good luck next time.

- Proficient in using guns, x1.

- F level skill: Auto pickup.

- One-time activation of the locked item.]

…

Hikaru saw his list of 10 draws, with 3 of them being 'good luck next time' causing him to frown.

"Rika, I hope that you should explain this clearly."

[You should feel lucky. This is a draw, understand? A draw, of course there's a chance you won't win.]

"So… what is the percentage of failure?"

[About 40%.]

Too high.

That's right, 40% failure rate when using bonus withdrawals. That said, he had to steal more and more points from the main characters.

However, Hikaru also felt a bit lucky. Although the failure rate is 40%, he only failed 3/10 draws.

[But don't worry, this ratio will decrease as your luck gets higher.]

Hikaru nodded, as if the Will of the World and Rika were forcing him to confront the other protagonists.

However, he did not intend to escape. If you can't escape, then you have to fight. Anyway, the fate of the villain and the main character was to confront each other.

Hikaru started looking at each item.

He already had the "gun mastery' skill, now that he had two more of the same skill, he felt a little disappointed.

[Don't worry.] Rika's voice suddenly rang out, and she explained: [If you continue to acquire the skill you currently have, you can evolve it.]

[Of course, the prerequisite is that you must possess 3 skills of the same type and of the same tier.]

When Hikaru heard that, he immediately understood what Rika was saying. In short, he only needed to gather 3 skills of the same type and tier to be able to fuse them to get better skills.

"So… how to merge them?"

Hikaru had just finished speaking when an electronic board appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Do you want to fuse the 3 skills 'mastery with guns'?]

"When fusing, is there a failure rate?" Having learned from the bonus draw, this time Hikaru had to ask more carefully.

[No, you can be rest assured.]

Hikaru nodded and said, "Accept!"

[Ding! Successfully fused, you obtain the skill 'Gun Proficiency, Tier F-']

Hikaru frowned at that, 3 skills of the same type fused to help him get a higher skill. However, that skill was only F- which made him a bit disappointed.

However, Hikaru knew he couldn't ask for much right now.

He immediately used a melee proficiency skill, of course, this skill didn't even reach tier F- like mastering a gun.

But that was enough to help him defend himself.

At this moment, Hikaru noticed the 'power evolution potion'.

…

Name: Potion of Power Evolution

Description: After using it, it would help your body reach the most perfect state.

…

"The most perfect state?"

[That's right.] Rika explained: [After using it, you will become a perfect human. Even though you still can't reach Tier F, you will at least be 5 times stronger than you are now.]
