"Boy, your participation in the invasion was 400 points of merit," the captain said to Noah in a low voice, so that the other Blessed would not hear.
Noah was surprised by this. He thought that the maximum points he could receive would not be more than 160. After all, the captain had said that the number of points that someone in the inner circle could receive in this Fortress would be between 60 to 160 points.
"Why 400 points?" Noah asked curiously.
"Your participation was much more significant than that of the other Blessed Ones, to the point that your participation amounts to a Blessed of Rank B. So I have to be honest and give you the amount of merit points equivalent to a Rank B. Just don't spread what I said around to the others," the captain said before winking at Noah and walking away.
Knowing that he could get a single essence with these 400 merit points, Noah was not so excited. After all, in this Fortress alone he had gotten the equivalent of more than 110 essences.
But then an idea came to Noah's mind. Without saying goodbye to the other Blessed Ones, who had not treated him well at any time, Noah just summoned the unicorn and went to the Khan family exchange center.
There, obviously compared to luxury cars, Noah's fiery unicorn was much more attractive, which made many people look at him with curiosity, since to get a Rank C mount, this Blessed One was at least Rank C, or maybe even Rank B, but Noah ignored those curious looks, bought an essence of Mana, and returned home at high speed.
"Noah!!! You came back! I missed you so much! Why did you take so long? Why are you still wearing the armor? Why didn't you take me with you? Did you bring something for me?" Maggy, like a machine gun of questions, drowned Noah with intense curiosity.
"Calm down, one question at a time. I was in a Fortress, and I did bring you a gift, yes. Come with me," Noah said fondly as he stroked Maggy's small head and guided her to his room.
There, Noah closed the curtains to make sure no one was going to see what they were going to do there, and sat on the floor, indicating for Maggy to sit in front of him. Curious, thinking it might be a new joke, Maggy sat down in front of Noah and looked at him with an anxious expression.
Noah had just removed his helmet from the armor, since Maggy was very anxious beside him without letting him do anything else.NHe simply took the essence of Mana that he had just purchased and placed it between the two of them, letting Maggy analyze it.
"What is this? Why do I want to burn this? Is this for eating? Can I eat this? Can I burn this?" Maggy once again machine-gunned Noah with several questions.
But to that, Noah answered simply, "This is a Rank C essence. Theoretically only Blessed Rank C can absorb it, but when I was still a Blessed Rank D I was able to burn some corpses with [Hell Flames] and get some stats points, so I think that if you burn this, you can also get some points."
Hearing this, Maggy was very excited. Without even asking any more questions, she simply controlled the flames out of her hand and ordered them to burn the little blue orb.
Noah was very concerned. He didn't want to see Maggy feeling bad, or feeling sick because of it, so he was prepared to teleport her to the hospital at any time.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened. On the contrary, Maggy's expression became even more cheerful, and once again she strafed Noah with several questions.
"Noah I absorbed it and it was really good! Why did I get 0.1 Mana points? Why do I want more? Why did you only bring one? Do you have more? Are you going to buy more? Buy more for me please! I feel like I have more energy now, as if I could burn more stuff!"
Noah was already used to his sister, so he just calmed her down and started planning ways to get many merit points in the family and buy various essences for Maggy, since for him it was practically useless, and she couldn't enter legally into Fortresses yet.
After calming Maggy and convincing her that he would buy more essences for her in the future, Noah was left alone in the room, after taking off his armor he laid down on the bed to read the chapter in the diary he had received.
[These lesser gods are truly a bunch of bastards. By offering the carrot and stick, they managed to win over the faith of humans in a sadistic way.
But little did they know that I was just waiting, just getting ready to deal with them. Fortunately my project is almost finished, my descendant will one day go against these bastards and kill them one by one with the strength I give him, and prevent these monsters that call themselves gods from conquering the world.
Haha, if they think that with only humans they can deal with the entire universe, they are mistaken, the other races will not allow it... Luckily they do not know about these races yet.
I hope my descendant solves this problem...]
Noah was shocked.
Because of the previous chapter he had received from Lucifer, he already had some idea that the little gods had done something bad, but he did not imagine that they would have gone so far as to want to control humans to take over the world.
'When Lucifer talked about the other races, what was he talking about...? Maybe... the dwarves? Are there races other than dwarves? Damn... I still don't know almost anything,' Noah thought in frustration.
He was frustrated to discover that the gods had been controlling humanity for so long. Humans had been dependent on the Blessed for centuries, so it was in the minds of almost everyone that the gods were their saviors. Who would say that these gods, in fact, were the root of the problem they had, but they just didn't know it yet?
"I need to get stronger."
