Chapter 139: Void Gale Seed
Tempest Cliff, Tempest Branch Alliance, within a room found inside the Tower of Seclusion.
“So that’s why I felt like I forgot something!” Aurus said to himself inwardly as he did not want to shock Fenrir and Charisa since they were still assiduously grinding their stats.
“It’s because I forgot about giving the Genesis Seed a type!” This was the idea that surfaced in his mind after wracking his brain over what to do next after maxing out almost all of his skills. Anyways, after remembering what he should’ve done for the Genesis Seed system, he could not help but dryly chuckle.
“I…should’ve done that after becoming a Substitute Ruler of the Void,” he muttered inwardly, letting out a sigh not long after as he could not help but lament, “Why am I always distracted? Now that I think about it, I was also distracted from creating the clone to the point that it has been delayed until the war is now pretty close to happening.”
“Anyways, I should really get a move on,” Aurus said before commanding the system to show the amount of Genesis Points he had left. It only took an instant for the system to notify Aurus that he had around 50 or so Genesis Points left, which could not help but make Aurus sigh.
“Who knew that upgrading the grades and maturity of the seed took up a great chunk of the 300 Genesis Points I received from the inheritance?” As he was saying this, he could not help but remember the times where he spent a great fraction of those 300 points in the Soul Enchantment System, which led to the dilemma of having an incredibly strong soul, and the Genesis Seed System, which consumed a great amount of Genesis Points without giving anything in return.
“Haaa…I hope 50 or so Genesis Points are enough to achieve the type I now have in mind,” Aurus said to himself as he opened up the Genesis Seed System, recalling the type he wanted the seed to be in his mind multiple times as he wanted to make sure that that was the most ideal option for him.
Ding!
________
[Genesis Seed System]
Genesis Points: 54
——–
[Aurus’ Genesis Seed]
Type: Neutral
Grade: Legendary
Maturity Level: 30/100
________
Looking at the changed grade and maturity level of the seed from before, Aurus could not help but regret the decision he made back then. If there was a chance that he could travel back in time, he would definitely decide to just save the Genesis Points for the time he had a type in mind.
“I seriously hope 54 Genesis Points are enough to create the type I have in mind,” Aurus said to himself. “If not, I would have to kill tons of Inanimates outside, which indirectly increases my chances of being in the frontlines of the war.”
After saying what he had to say, Aurus took a deep breath through his body, with the full intent of calming himself as anxiety would definitely mess his choices up if he was not careful. Doing it for five or so times, Aurus’ state of regret and anxiousness was now replaced with an aura of calmness and rationality.
With this aura exuding from him, Aurus then commanded to the system inwardly, “I would like to choose a type for the Genesis Seed.”
Ding!
Of course, as the system was tied to Aurus, it did not even take a second for the system to reply, ‘What type would the user like for the seed to become?’
“Hmm…” Although Aurus had the seed type in his mind already, he could not help but feel a bit wary since he had a hunch that the system would definitely charge a greater amount of points for the type he had in mind than what he currently had. And so, he decided to ask the system.
“Before that, how much Genesis Points does it cost to change the seed type into that of a dual element?” he questioned the system.
It took the system a few seconds to formulate an answer as it replied, ‘Depending on the rarity of the elements, the amount of points needed would vary. A dual element type based on the four basic elements would cost 10 Genesis Points, while a dual element based on the two rarest elements would cost over a thousand Genesis Points.’
Of course, this was not enough to satiate Aurus’ curiosity as he continued to ask, “How much points does it cost to change the seed type to Wind?”
‘5 Genesis Points,’ the system promptly replied.
“How much points for Space?” Aurus asked one more question.
’25 Genesis Points,’ the system promptly replied one more time.
“How much points if I were to have the two as my seed type?” This was the last question Aurus had in mind.
’50 Genesis Points,’ the system replied in a monotonous manner while Aurus was in utter disbelief over the amount of points needed to have the two types in one seed. Of course, he could not help but have the question “Where does the extra 20 points go?” in his mind while listening to the system’s reply. Nonetheless, he was able to let out a sigh of relief as he did not have to go out and kill Inanimates for now.
“I would like to change the Genesis Seed’s type to the elements of Wind and Space.” Aurus took a few more deep breaths to relax his slightly surprised self to calmness before replying. Of course, the system gave out a prompt to confirm his choices, to which he accepted as he already knew how much points he needed to achieve it.
Ding!
‘The Genesis Seed’s type has been changed from Neutral to Wind.’
Whoosh!
As the system sent out this notification, an intangible seed flew out of Aurus’ body in an instant. Not long after, all of the Wind energy particles in the surroundings gradually made their way towards the intangible seed, before being absorbed by the seed as its color changed to that of a slightly bright green.
Ding!
‘The Genesis Seed’s type has been changed from Wind to Wind + Space.’
Whoosh!
Of course, since Aurus chose to have both Wind and Space in his Genesis Seed, the transformation of the intangible seed was not over. Not long after turning a shade of green, multiple particles of black light started to manifest around the seed’s surroundings, before making their way towards the seed about a second later. Compared to how the Wind element was absorbed, the Space element was instead circling around the green seed, giving anyone a feeling that the two elements were not in harmony.
Thankfully, the transformation was not over yet.
Ding!
‘The Genesis Seed’s type has stabilized, transforming into Void Gale.’
Whoosh!
As this notification resonated in Aurus’ mind, the Space element surrounding the seed started to transform into drills that pierced through the green seed, slowly being absorbed by the seed whether it liked it or not. Thanks to this, the seed gradually took on the shade of black on some parts, with shades of green on other parts. But then, another change happened to the seed, as the black and green portions of the seed coalesced and formed two halves, before colliding with one another to give birth to a seed that was black at times, and green at others.
In other words, the type change was now complete as the newly transformed seed made its way back to Aurus’ body without doing anything special. Well…doing anything special externally.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the very moment the newly transformed seed settled down in Aurus’ body, it then released a great portion of the elements in its body, sending it all throughout Aurus’ body as every Anima and Flux hastily ate it all up in a matter of seconds.
Ding!
‘You have unlocked the hybrid skill [Void Gale Blessing].’
While this notification resonated in his mind, Aurus savored the feeling of wind and space caressing his body, as if his understanding of the two elements had gotten closer by a decent margin. It took a few minutes for Aurus to snap back to reality, being pleasantly surprised after knowing that he had obtained a skill from the Genesis Seed System.
“Ooh. It’s a skill that boosts my movement speed and attack speed, as well as give me the ability to teleport any place I want within a certain radius,” Aurus said as he read through the description of the skill.
Of course, he tested the teleportation ability accompanied with the skill, appearing here and there throughout the room while making sure that he did not disturb the two from grinding their skills.
Quite satisfied with his element choice, Aurus then said with slight glee, “Alright then. Now, it’s time to upgrade the seed into a tree….”
But just as he was going to upgrade the seed, he then started sulking as he muttered, “Ah right. I don’t have a lot of Genesis Points left. Man…those skills from the Genesis Tree are really good though. Haah…”
Not long after letting out a sigh, a few gears in his brain started to turn as this sulking aura gradually reverted back to that of glee. “There’s a good chunk of time before Chonk and his gang gets here, right? Although my ability to teleport is limited, it wouldn’t be farfetched to say that I’d be unharmed once I meet Chonk along the way!”
As he said this, he could not help but dryly chuckle as he continued, “Of course, I should still limit myself because I seriously do not want to be the first one to fight with Chonk. Hmm…how much time left does it take for the clone to be complete?”
With that in mind, he asked the system, to which the system responded with a small holographic screen not long after.
Ding!
‘Time remaining: 03:03:09:32’
“There’s still a little bit over three days, huh?” Aurus muttered as he eventually decided on the fact that he was going to go out hunting until the timer was exactly at three days left.
“But before that, I should tell Herellia about my short trip outside, lest she becomes flustered or whatever,” he said after being determined to follow his decision to the bitter end.
Whoosh!
And with that, Aurus disappeared in an instant from the room he was grinding in within the Tower of Seclusion, with the intent of finding Herellia before he left the alliance to amass Genesis Points.
