Earth's Alpha Prime

Chapter 97 - Day-7 Begins

***Jay's POV***

Looking at their shocked faces, I revealed to them about Moro's War Asura Bloodline and that it provides him with the unrivalled 'Battle Instinct' of the War Asura Species.

Hearing that, they managed to recover from shock, but curiosity was evident on their faces.

So, to curb their curiosity, I briefed them about Bloodlines and how only a few could awaken them.

After that, I also telepathically mentioned those five core security personnel about the suffering and tragedy Moro had gone through in the past, and that was the reason why he was able to meet the requirements of a powerful bloodline and was chosen by it.

Initially, I didn't want to indulge them in Moro's past.

Nevertheless, I told them because they all had trained and experienced a lot to earn their present fighting expertise and have their own pride.

I didn't want them to view Moro as someone who was just lucky enough to get a bloodline that could allow him to gain such high-end combat knowledge and experience.

After all, being chosen by any Bloodline is something extremely hard to accomplish.

Those who don't know any better would think that if one gains a higher grade Innate Talent or powerful bloodline, that they were lucky to possess them. But, from MJ, I already learned the actual process that goes into Innate Talents or Bloodlines choosing someone as their host.

There are countless Innate Talents and Bloodlines in the System, and each of them was sentient. However, their sentience is nowhere close to an intelligent species.

Whenever the system selects a life planet for assimilation, the Innate Talents would search throughout the planet to find a host with the highest affinity.

However, the said affinity is not something that one is born with but was formed by one's life experiences accumulated and several other complicated factors.

That was why in a System assimilated life planet, only those who reach a certain mature age depending on their species would obtain an Innate Talent.

MJ estimated that in the case of the human species on Earth, only those who have an age of 18 and above would gain an Innate Talent that they have the highest affinity towards.

As for the under-aged ones, they had to reach 18 years before obtaining an Innate talent based on the 'affinity' that formed throughout those 18 years.

Several advanced civilizations in the system assimilated part of the Universe tried to study the patterns of how the 'affinity' is formed to try and emulate a living environment for the newborns of their species to match those who possess higher grade Innate Talents among them.

That way, they wanted their species' newborns to obtain higher grade Innate Talents and increase the overall power of their species.

Of course, to date, no civilization or powerful beings managed to find a way to manipulate one's 'affinity' as it was complex beyond imagination.

Even in the future, I highly doubt anyone could ever accomplish such a feat.

Before I learned about all this, I used to feel I was just lucky to obtain such a powerful Innate Talent as <LOOT>.

Thinking that, if anyone were to obtain <LOOT> other than me, they would have been able to accomplish everything that I was able to do or even better than me.

However, I realized how wrong my assumption was after learning that the Innate Talents choose their hosts.

Moreover, from what I learned about Unique Category Innate Talents from MJ, I became sure that my Innate Talent stands out from the rest of the Unique Category ones. There was no case ever recorded about a Unique Category Innate Talent user using Origin Energy.

I didn't understand why such a powerful Innate Talent chose me. Maybe it was because I had exceptional muscle memory that could help me learn any physical skill in a short period or maybe because of some other unknown factors.

There were no records of anyone controlling Origin Energy in the System records. With that, I came up with two possibilities.

The first one was that no one managed to comprehend Origin Energy since the System's appearance in the Universe, i.e. after the prehistoric era.

The second one was that MJ's Grade-4 System access was not high enough to access information on Origin Energy.

Before I go with the first possibility, I have to rule out the second one. To do that, I have to increase the skill level of <Personal Soul A.I> so that MJ could have higher grade System access.

To others, it might be unimaginably hard to improve the grade of a Skill. Still, to me, who could create Universe Level achievements by single-handedly killing monsters that were three phases higher, it was possible by using Universe Points.

With that, I simply have to think about upgrading a skill, and it will happen, and as for the grade that the skill could be upgraded will depend on my luck.

Of course, I couldn't do that yet since all my Universe Points were being pooled together to exchange for the silver glaive of <LOOT>'s previous owner. Until then, I wouldn't be able to use those Universe Points.

The only problem was that I don't know how many more Universe points it would have for that Double-bladed silver glaive.

It gave me a headache thinking about that. So, I set those thoughts aside and turned my attention to the five core security personnel and what I told them worked effectively and even improved their opinion on Moro to see him so calm and composed even after he went through such a tragedy.

What they didn't know was that Moro's hatred was sealed by the Minor Origin Sigil I gave him. If not for that, Moro would have been on a killing spree of every living thing. Of course, I didn't mention any of that to them.

After that, I assigned the twins, Rahu and Kethu, as the core security personnel of the family mansion since the Chairman was safe in the secret underground base.

As for Jon, Ravan and Esha, their responsibilities didn't change from before as they are to guard my father, uncle and Qew, respectively.

After that, I discussed a few security protocols and its issues with them as my role as the head of security.

Once that was over, I introduced MJ to them. Except for my siblings, all five of them were taken aback by MJ's appearance at first, but after what they had come across in the past few hours, they quickly got used to abnormal situations.

I put MJ up to clearing any queries they had regarding the System, monsters and trial program and to give a detailed explanation on it. After all, I only gave a vague overview to them when I first explained about the Trial World.

Noticing MJ going into full-on 'professor mode', who went on lecturing Jon and others, I quietly left the room, knowing that it's not going to end anytime soon.

Soon, I left the Underground secret base and went back to my house to prepare myself for Day-7 since I only had less than two hours left before getting myself teleported there.

After a satisfying bath, I had ordered food for my dinner. As for my clothes, I got used to using the <Centauri Kavach> as my wardrobe.

Since I couldn't change its default black colour with golden patterns, I often morph <Centauri Kavach> into any set of clothes I wish, just for a sense of change.

The comfort it provides was far beyond any clothing could provide. Moreover, I don't even have to wash those morphed clothes since they don't smell, and any dirt on them will be automatically cleaned.

I rested on the sofa comfortably with <Centauri Kavach> that was morphed into a t-shirt and track pants pair.

Right then, I heard a knock on the entrance door. Thanks to the <Mind Eye>, I long ago knew who that was.

"Come on in."

Dante walked through the door.

After dinner, I called Dante through the Wristband prototype to come to my house to discuss a few things I plan to do on Day-7.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, I got right to the point, "Dante, do you remember the 2nd condition of the deal I made with you when I gave you Vitality fruit sap to heal your Uncle Roberto. It's about time I need your help to find the Arch Spirit Fruit that I was looking for."

Dante smiled, "Even without that deal, I would still help you, Jay."

I ignored his over friendliness and asked him, "How about your Fate Mastery, did it reach Stage-3?"

"About that, for some reason, it was stuck at Lv.20 without any sign of improving." Dante replied while scratching the back of his head.

After hearing that his <Fate Mastery> didn't reach Stage-3 (Lv.21 to Lv.30), I sighed. It was understandable since it was way hard to improve a Unique Innate Talent's Mastery.

Because of that, the Unique Innate Talent users couldn't reach higher tiers, and only a rare few manage to do that. If not for the unpredictable progress of innate talent Mastery, the Unique Category Innate Talents would have been hailed as the most powerful ones instead of the Grade-10 Innate Talents.

I looked at Dante, who was internally blaming himself for not being able to reach Stage-3 yet. I told him not to stress about it.

I initially wanted to wait till Dante's Fate Mastery reached Stage-3 because, at that point, he would be able to locate the Grade-4 Spirit Fruit more accurately using the Fate Points.

But, since I don't know when that would happen, I decided to go with Plan-B, and that was to have Dante locate the Grade-4 Spirit Fruit with his Stage-2 Fate Mastery.

In this case, it would get a lot harder since the Fate Stats would only show the direction in which he was searching but not the distance and other specifics.

However, I don't intend to wait anymore and proceed with the search as soon as Day-7 begins.

Once I decided, I explained to Dante my plan to go to other Trial Zones, searching for Grade-4 Spirit Fruit in great detail.

Soon, time passed, and it was already 12 in the night, and along with Dante, I was teleported to the Trial World.
