[Emery Ambrose: 2,921 points]

[Artifacts] [Wisdom] [Resources] [Lifeforms]

As Emery stood amidst the celestial panels, faced with a plethora of intriguing options, he realized the extent of his unfamiliarity with half of the items listed. The sheer variety left him in a state of bewilderment. Sensing the gaze of the celestial giant still fixed upon him, a touch of awkwardness crept into the air.

"Actually, do you have anyone who could help me with this?" Emery inquired, breaking the uneasy silence that lingered. The celestial giant remained wordless, but in response, a radiant light emanated from the ground, coalescing into the form of a humanoid figure. The being that materialized was a strikingly beautiful entity, with short ash-white hair, adorned in light gold attire, and wings gracing her back.

"I am a Virtual Intelligence Assistant. I am here to help," the artificial lifeform spoke, her voice resonating with a soothing quality. Though not a tangible being, she emanated an aura of knowledge and understanding. Intriguingly, it appeared that this virtual entity possessed a wealth of information about Emery.

The Virtual Intelligence Assistant, offered a strategic recommendation. Given the need to fortify his newly acquired base on Earth's moon, she suggested a defensive structure that could serve as the bedrock of his stronghold. Utilizing her ability to access information, the artificial lifeform presented her suggestion.

[Thundergod Fort - 1500 points] A formidable construct designed to serve as the foundation of a base. The fort boasted an arsenal of 16 lightning cannons and high-grade barriers, originally crafted by the celestials it able to stand the wrath of grand magus figure.

As if reading Emery's thoughts, she added, "Its quality is comparable to the Magus Alliance's own defensive structure, which costs 15 million spirit stones. This offers the best ratio of value compared to other defensive structures."

Impressed by the detailed explanation, Emery found himself torn between the practicality of the Thundergod Fort and the desire for something truly irreplaceable, irrespective of its value. While he had no shortage of spirit stones or means to acquire more, Emery harbored a penchant for unique and unparalleled items.

The female artificial lifeform then suggested unique spells of nature and light. However, Emery, with his extensive proficiency, realized that the available spells within his remaining points had similar utility to those already at his command. As a magus with a wide range of skills, he sought not redundancy but rather the exceptional, the rare, and the truly unique.

"Then, I would recommend for you to explore recipes or rare materials instead," the artificial lifeform suggested.

To his surprise, the celestial giant turned to him with a knowing smile and replied,

<Your deeds will be rewarded, but not today.>

The revelation left Emery in a state of both anticipation and mild disappointment. It seemed that additional rewards were indeed in store for him, but the celestial intended to unveil them at a later time. Emery couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration; the celestial's ability to foresee the future did not translate into immediate gratification for his valiant efforts.

In a bid to gain something more from the celestial encounter, Emery turned his attention to the female artificial lifeform standing before him. Seeking to gain a little more from the celestial exchange, he cast an appealing gaze and made a proposition, "Can I at least get this one as a bonus? She will really come in handy." To Emery's surprise, the celestial agreed to his proposition, and a sudden notification echoed in his mind.

[Receiving system patch]

[System upgraded]

[Virtual Intelligence Assistant successfully embedded to your system]

Emery was taken aback by the direct integration of the celestial's assistant into his system. It prompted him to ponder the intricate connection between the celestial realm and the magus universe system that linked every magus across the vast expanse of the universe.

However, before he could delve deeper into these musings, the celestial realm began to tremble, signaling the imminent end of Emery's sojourn. With the celestial's departure imminent, Emery seized the final moments to seek clarity regarding his promised rewards.

"You say I will be rewarded later, can you at least tell me when?"

Emery wondered if these rewards would manifest before his impending duel with Kronos or perhaps in response to the looming calamity foretold for the next 10 to 20 years.

To his astonishment, the celestial's response held a revelation that left Emery speechless. <We will meet again in two millennia.>
