Chapter 63：Dark Gods

Adrian and Marlon casted their skill Inspect on the crystal ball before looking inside of it and they were surprised.

Name: True Seeing Crystal Eye

Tier: Divine

Type: Miscellaneous item

Effect: Enables the users to view parts of the universe as long as they focused on what they wanted to see. Cannot pierce through areas that have been polluted with miasma or corrupted mana. Users can only see the chosen location and not be able to communicate to anyone or any creature they view using this item. Requires mana to operate.

Mana Cost: 1 Mana point per second

Conditions: None

They were shocked because this was the perfect spying item to be ever created. The perfect spying item if it ever landed on a player's hand which would be close to impossible since it's tier was the never before heard Divine tier. Two judged that the divine tier would probably be the next higher tier after Transcendant. This tier would probably be reserved for the gods of the game or any god class type of equipment and you would have to be a god in order to wield those items unless it was like this crystal ball that was made to be used by anyone as long as one provided it mana.

The two best friend's then proceeded to sit comfortably though they did not know how exactly because they were in spirit form but apparently they did. Adrian then volunteered to be the first to supply the mana himself. He injected his mana by imagining it being transferred from his body to the crystal ball. It seems that the item responded fine and Adrian was glad that it was easy to use. He then focused on the Silver Moores and more specifically the location of their bodies. He wanted to know what was happening to them because they were suddenly teleported which to be more specific their souls were placed here in Paraiso.

After a few seconds, a reaction was observed in the crystal ball. Adrian focused with great intent and was shocked because he heard a system prompt.

[Congratulations! Due to your excessive concentration, you have unlocked a new stat.]

[You have gained the secret stat Willpower. This stat cannot be increased using status points.]

[You have gained Willpower+20]

Marlon read the expression on Adrian's face and asked him if something was wrong. Adrian told him the reason and Marlon just nodded. Marlon told Adrian that he also managed to unlock that stat during his trial when he was trying to unlock his class now. He got it when he was subjected to the one of the test for his job change. After a few seconds, they managed to finally see clearly the Silver Moores or more precisely a bird's eye view of it. It was like they were using satellite imagery to see the situation from above. Both of them thought that it was pretty cool. They were like two spies using their unbelievably sophisticated tech to see the movements of their targets. It took a few seconds for them to be released from their fantasy and both of them focused on what was happening before their eyes.

=======================

Meanwhile in the Silver Moores....

Argent was sweating all over and was scared to the bones. She did not expect the Twin Gods to actually descend. It must have taken them immense power to even breach the defense of the mortal realm. They probably exhausted a hefty amount of divine energy just to descend and it will probably be only a short time until they ascend back to their divine realms. Argent then thought to buy a bit more time until her help will arrive. She already contacted the Corruptant that would help her. Although that one was not the top dog of the Corruptants, it was still a god from another universe nonetheless. She started to spouting words to ridicule her former god.

" Well , well, who would have thought that you still remember me Death God Abbadon." Argent said with a ferocious glint in her eyes.

" You would have been forgiven Argent if you had only endured for a few more years but it seems your heart is more wicked than I thought. You have been corrupted ever since I bestowed upon you my blessing." Abaddon said with a sad expression.

" You were beloved child yet my brother did not expect that power would actually corrupt you. You should have been content with what my brother has given you yet you wanted more. You started turning towards the Dark Gods. It was a good thing we managed to stop you before you made contact but we have sacrificed a lot in the process. You have brought upon death and destruction when you were on the run therefore we would not tolerate your existence any longer." Gaea said in her usual lovely tone.

Although the two best friends could not hear the conversation with the crystals, they could hear it in their soul's mind. This would be something like when a person in a coma and when he wakes up he would say that he heard all their conversations even when he was in a coma. Their souls were still connected to their body, it's just that they could not control it. The twin gods sent their soul to their domain because if they did not, the two would die and be respawned in their recovery point(save point). The two were also having a discussion about what they have heard.

" It seems that she has done more damage to the world than we have thought. Tssk, it was a good thing that we were presented with a mini-quest or else we would probably have failed my job class advancement." said Adrian while he stares at the quest log.

" The game developers would have not made it impossible for you to complete it." Marlon said reassuringly.

What both of them did not know was that if only Adrian himself went in the dungeon, he would have just encountered the normal dungeon boss and he would have probably would trigger a different event that would lead to lesser rewards that they had collected. They specifically triggered a main story-line scenario in which the future of the game's scenario would be changed differently because a legendary named NPC was returned to sanity.

======================

Meanwhile at the development team office...

Inside the room the people were panicking because someone triggered a main scenario that was supposed to be triggered after the undead king event. They only monitored individuals that are said to be unpredictable according to the Atlas CEO. They only put the player named Equinox on the to be monitored once a month list because of the dragon egg fiasco. It seems that the Planning Director would get scolded a lot because of this. He did not expect that a new player would create this much headache.

" Ahhhh! That player ,Equinox, should have just soloed the dungeon like he always do. Why did he have to invite someone and from the Church of Gaea to boot!" the Planning Director said angrily.

He was annoyed because they triggered the event for Dark Gods Rising. He was also annoyed because the specific trigger for that would be that two people who are either related to the god of death and the goddess of life must form a party and investigate the Silver Moores to trigger the event. It would have been fine if the player Equinox went by himself or invited a normal priest class player from the Church of Gaea but Equinox's friend just happened to be a Child of Gaea which is one of the most difficult priest classes to obtain if not the hardest. The planning director had to sigh and give up redoing everything and focused on patching the event.

" Listen up you fools! It would seem that our work is cut out for us. After the scenario is ended, immediately put a server update notice for 24 hours. We would have to patch the loopholes that were made. We would be here all night so do not expect to get some sleep. Also put that Equinox player on the always monitor list." the planning director ordered.

" But Sir is it not coincidence that they managed to trigger it? Why should we put him in that list?" an employee asked.

" I for one do not believe in coincidences. Everything happens for a reason. We have to monitor him closely because his character is vital to the current undead event." the planning director rebutted and spoke again, " modify all the quests relating to the revival of the church of death and also we would need to push back the 'Investigate the Traces of the Dark Gods' quest that those two would receive. Push the encounter with the remnants until they reach level 150 so that we could have breathing space. Chop. Chop people unto your battle stations."

The employees in the room gave a sigh and one thing was on their minds, " At least we would get paid overtime."
