Palkus, by now, has already done more than a good enough job. The achievements he has accomplished were counted for Draco and the celestial was now in his spot on the edge of the tower, looking at the system panel in front of him.
"Well, well, hasn't it been a while since I saw this?" Draco smiled.
[Your blessed one, Palkus G. Valenstein, has achieved feats recognized by the will.]
[You have been granted +0.26% Achievement Progress Rate.]
[Your Unique Skill, XP Multiplier has come forward to show its worth once again.]
[Your Achievement Progress Rate has been multiplied by 401...]
*Fwshhh* The bubble in space opened up for a brief second as a bright object shot out of it and launched itself at Draco.
[You've successfully risen from the trial stage of a Demi-Celestial and into a recognized Lesser Celestial. From now on, the path forward will not be easy. Please proceed carefully.] And the panel vanished.
The reason why Draco's XP multiplier showed up once again was because when he made the wish, it wasn't specifically an XP multiplier, but whatever essence was used to power one up, thus, it was only logical for it to come back, otherwise, Draco would have been scammed out of a precious wish.
"Young man, did you for real just... get recognized?" Truth teleported next to Draco; his face displayed disbelief but his previous gloominess was nowhere to be seen while his goofy attitude started surfacing little by little.
Draco turned to gaze at him and just then, Life, Love, Night, Majesty, Origin, and someone who had just decided to make his first appearance, Time.
"Hohoho, I think I might have underestimated this boy." Time, a wise-looking elder with the aura of a scholar appeared. He was wearing a white robe like that of a mage, a hat on his head, and overall, he looked like a magician who spent his time in confinement.
"Time, old friend, I see you decided to come out." Truth didn't bother looking at Draco anymore as he turned to greet his oldest friend.
"Aye, old friend, I see you're doing well." Time nodded when he saw the joyful expression on Truth's face.
"Draco, did you get enough achievements to become a Lesser Celestial?" Leona, who knew what Draco had been planning, asked, seeing as the one who first wanted to know had his attention shifted.
"Hmm... I see, But it shouldn't be possible yet, You'll need approximately 400 times the worth of the achievements your blessed one has achieved so far; however, I see that he's making good progress as we speak." Time was calculated in a split second; his knowledge regarding celestialhood allowed him to do so easily.
"Alright, that will be it. The anti-celestials will be here anytime now, so get ready." Truth turned his back waved his hands and vanished.
"I'll leave too, young ones. See you then." and Time disappeared.
"You never fail to surprise me, Chaos. I hope I don't get purged so I can see how far you can go." Night said jokingly as he vanished.
"It was nice seeing you again, no matter how briefly." And Life followed.
"Well, we'll be leaving too, I have yet to decide on who to bless." Alexander announced as he and his mother teleported away.
"So... how is our little Antita doing?" Leona, who was once again left alone with Draco, went to the edge of the tower, sat down, and asked. The relationship between the two was slowly transforming into an actual friendship instead of being one-sided.
"..." For once, Draco's reaction was unexpected as he stopped in his tracks.
*Sigh*
"You're better off not asking." He said, smacking his head.
"Well, that was definitely not expected." Leona opened her eyes in surprise.
"What happened? I have a right to know." Leona insisted.
"... She started calling me Dad." Draco hesitated for a second.
"Huh? Pfft, haha, hahahahahaha! That was seriously a funny joke." Leona hit Draco's shoulder, who had yet to sit while laughing.
"..."
"Are you serious?"
