Chapter 197: The Third Class Change is an Awakening
After everyone had laughed for a while, Jeremy finally spoke up.
"Alright, there's no need to continue mocking him. In my opinion, during the previous battles, Ritchie has provided us with an immense amount of assistance.
Without him, we might not have been able to successfully overcome such a multitude of formidable adversaries. Regardless of anything else, Ritchie's abilities are undeniably commendable."
Jeremy's words did manage to slightly improve Ritchie's mood.
However, Ritchie was still not ready to let it go just like that.
"You speak well, but who knows when I'll finally reach level 50. Only upon reaching level 50 will I be able to undergo my third class change. Perhaps then I can transition to a class I truly enjoy."
Jeremy nodded in acknowledgment of Ritchie's statement.
"You're right. So, if you are eager to class change to a profession you actually like, you should work harder to quickly level up."
Having said that, Jeremy then prepared to lead everyone back to their respective residences.
Jeremy personally escorted each member back to their homes, only returning to his own place once everyone else had been safely dropped off.
Upon arriving at his own residence, Jeremy meticulously sealed off the entire room.
After ensuring that there were no gaps or vulnerabilities in the room, Jeremy retrieved the gemstone that the entity known as World had once given him.
Closing his eyes, Jeremy used the gemstone in his hand to swiftly return to the world where the class change goddess Janna resided.
The class change goddess Janna was not particularly surprised by Jeremy's arrival.
She merely scrutinized Jeremy from head to toe before directly posing a question to him.
"You're here to inquire about awakening, aren't you?"
Janna's question left Jeremy slightly puzzled.
"Information on awakening? No, I haven't come to seek information on awakening. I'm here to consult about the third class change."
Upon hearing Jeremy's response, a subtle smile appeared on Janna's face.
"The third class change is, in fact, an awakening. During the process of your third class change, you will attain an extraordinarily powerful new talent.
Because this new talent surpasses all the abilities you have previously acquired, the process of obtaining this superior talent is considered an awakening. Therefore, the third class change is naturally an awakening."
Upon hearing the words of the class change goddess Janna, Jeremy experienced a moment of sudden realization.
He finally understood why there had been certain gaps in the information he had previously received.
He also grasped why both the planners of the apocalypse game and the intelligent monsters he had encountered were so fearful of him nearing level 50.
"Whether it's awakening or the third class change, I need you to provide me with ample information. Moreover, the stronger I become, the more advantageous it is for you."
Janna nodded in agreement.
"You are indeed correct, and you have already been of considerable assistance to me before. Therefore, I will share with you all the information I know regarding awakening."
Having said this, the class change goddess Janna retrieved a stone tablet from behind her.
"On this stone tablet, five entirely distinct awakening talents are recorded. You are allowed to choose one among these five different awakening talents.
Once you have made your selection, I will initiate the awakening of the corresponding talent for you. However, the prerequisite is that you must reach level 50, so you need to go back and level up quickly."
The class change goddess Janna had already discerned that Jeremy had not yet reached level 50.
Jeremy nodded and took the stone tablet from her.
At the top of the tablet, there was a long string of information written in a script unintelligible to Jeremy.
"What is the information at the top of the tablet? Could you possibly translate it for me?" Jeremy asked earnestly, looking at the class change goddess Janna.
Janna shook her head. "This is information that belongs to the deities. With your current strength, you are not yet qualified to know this information. Moreover, in your current state, knowing this information would be detrimental rather than beneficial to you."
Since the class change goddess Janna had said so, Jeremy decided not to press the matter further.
Instead, Jeremy began to examine the five different awakening talents listed on the tablet.
At the very top of the stone tablet, the name of the first awakening talent was "The Immortal."
Beneath the name of The Immortal talent, there was a brief description.
[The Immortal: As the name implies, this talent endows its possessor with extraordinary vitality. Even in life-threatening situations, it provides a slim chance of survival.
Upon acquiring this talent, the awakened individual will greatly enhance their physical constitution and develop strong resistance to various toxins. It even offers a degree of resistance to divine attacks.]
The Immortal is a talent that focuses entirely on defense, and Jeremy was not particularly fond of this talent.
Beneath the description of The Immortal talent, there was the name of another talent, which was called "The King of Time and Space."
[The King of Time and Space: Time and space coexist, and changes in time are also changes in space. This talent allows the awakened individual to possess an exceptional perception of both time and space.
The awakened can manipulate time and space to perform a variety of extraordinary skills. Additionally, those endowed with this talent will have increased resistance to attacks involving time and space manipulation.]
Jeremy was extremely fond of the talent "The King of Time and Space." Furthermore, he believed that this talent was highly compatible with the skills he currently possessed.
However, Jeremy still intended to examine the other three talents to see what they offered.
Beneath the talent of "The King of Time and Space." there was a talent named "The Embodiment of Fate."
[The Embodiment of Fate: Whether it be fortune or misfortune, survival or death, everything ultimately converges upon destiny. This talent endows the awakened individual with an extraordinary ability to perceive the nuances of fate.
Upon acquiring this talent, the awakened can sense changes in their own destiny. They receive premonitions of impending crises, providing them the opportunity to take measures to avert misfortune.
As the strength of the awakened increases, this talent enables them to bestow misfortune upon their enemies and grant fortune to their allies.]
In essence, the talent "The Embodiment of Fate" can be summed up as being a favorite of destiny.
Although the description of "The Embodiment of Fate" appeared exceedingly powerful, Jeremy identified its greatest weakness: it scarcely enhanced any direct combat abilities.
"If I wanted to become the luckiest person, I would undoubtedly choose this talent. However, I still aspire to seize control of my own destiny. I yearn for a talent that fortifies my combat prowess."
Beneath the talent of "The Embodiment of Fate." there lay the talent named "The Apostle of Desire."
[The Apostle of Desire: Whether divine beings or mortals, creatures or monsters, all existences harbor innate desires. This talent grants the awakened individual the ability to manipulate the desires of others.
In the heat of battle, The Apostle of Desire can ignite the enemy's desires, causing them to lose their rationality in an instant. Additionally, outside of combat, The Apostle of Desire can exert subtle influences on anyone.
This influence can significantly amplify the targeted individual's corresponding desires, thereby granting The Apostle of Desire a considerable advantage in various situations.]
After reviewing the talent of The Apostle of Desire, Jeremy felt that its power was almost excessively formidable.
"A talent that allows one to manipulate the desires of others is indeed exceedingly rare. Perhaps I should contemplate whether to forsake The King of Time and Space in favor of The Apostle of Desire?"
Beneath The Apostle of Desire, at the very bottom of the stone tablet, lay the final talent, which was named Chaos Pact.
[Chaos Pact: Rules are crafted to be deceived, and pacts are made to be broken. Regardless of the rules set or the agreements made, the Chaos Pact talent allows its possessor to disregard both.
The owner of the Chaos Pact talent is inherently a betrayer of others. This talent enables the possessor to ignore any contract established with anyone or any entity.
Even if the opposing party is immensely powerful, Chaos Pact can significantly mitigate the penalties for breaking contracts and violating rules.]
"Indeed, the Chaos Pact talent is exceptional for deception. However, the adversaries I face are incredibly powerful monsters and the architects of the apocalypse game. I highly doubt these game designers would enter into any contracts with me."
"Hence, the Chaos Pact talent holds little utility for me. Perhaps Ritchie might find this talent more beneficial."
After reviewing all the talents, Jeremy ultimately determined that The King of Time and Space and The Apostle of Desire were the two talents most suited to him.
However, Jeremy wasn't able to make an immediate decision just yet.
Thus, Jeremy directly addressed the class change goddess Janna, "Besides the information on the stone tablet, can't you provide me with some additional details?"
The class change goddess Janna nodded in acknowledgment.
"I can indeed provide you with additional information. Besides these five talents, there are many other talents. However, I must caution you that the five talents I have presented to you are the most powerful."
"Moreover, only because you are the first to awaken do you have the privilege of selecting one from these five talents. The other talents are significantly weaker."
Hearing Janna's words, Jeremy was slightly taken aback.
"Are you saying that if I weren't the first to awaken, I wouldn't be able to choose any of these five talents?"
The class change goddess Janna nodded in affirmation.
