Chapter 1732 A New Divine System Law

1732 A New Divine System Law

-----

Something else inside of him?

I didn't feel any such thing when I fought him.

But I guess Andromeda is much more capable when it comes to analyzing things.

"What do you think is inside of him?" I asked. "A Demon?"

"No... This is much deeper than anything we've ever fought before," she said. "If anything, it felt oddly similar to the presence that Benladann and Miranda had."

"What?!" the two responded almost in the same way.

"Weird." Yuki said. "So he has some secret entity inside of him made of chaos? Oh my god, what else does that dude has?!"

"Calm down for now," said Tisha. "Drake, we should first focus on preparing for the Trial. Speculating about these things might not get us anywhere else."

"Not wrong," nodded Pekora. "We should focus on what's in front of us, yes."

"Drake, we should meet with Surtr's group while we got the time," said Ruby. "So we can plan things out too."

"Right, very well," I nodded. "Emerald, come with us too, don't stay behind."

"A-Ah! Yes!" Emerald had only grown more nervous after learning all of these news, but he still seemed willing to help. "Hahh..." though, he kept sighing all the time.

"Emerald, calm down, we're all together as a team here," said Amehia, patting his shoulders. "It'll be okay, alright?"

"Amehia..." Emerald was quickly comforted by his new wife, who kept calming him down. "Thank you for being with me..."

"You're such a crybaby sometimes! Come on now," Amehia giggled, kissing him. "Let's make a plan to win this trial too!"

"Yeah!" Emerald nodded. "I'm somehow pumped up now!"

Most likely because she kissed him...

As we made our way towards Surtr's group, we noticed a huge barrier around the entire wild lands we would have to explore.

They still keep calling me Uncle, eh...

"That's right," I said. "We have little time to explain things to you, but I'll give you the powers of the System too. It should upgrade your own pseudo system, Surtr, while also giving everyone else a status and levels."

FLASH!

With a mere thought, my powers flowed into their bodies, granting them the power of the System. The Law of the System was still young and developing, so I couldn't do this automatically or world-wide for the moment.

However, the Law was indeed spreading across the world at an early stage, slowly beginning to affect it. Though, I would rather have the System work as something I can control rather than a natural law, because it would mean even my foes could wield this power.

As long as I remain as the wielder of the System Law, nobody can control it as I can, so I can choose who gets blessed and benefitted by it and who doesn't.

But if I happen to actually just die, the Law might just affect everything no matter what...

"A-Amazing, I felt slightly stronger!" Surtr said. "A new way to grow stronger... Class Levels?!"

"Woah, what's this?!" Jamar said. "I got a Skill?"

"Hmm, very interesting!" Nadia nodded.

"Huh, so that's how this is, hm?" Mina looked around the status.

The rest of their party also received the benefits, and everyone else too. With that done, mostly everyone had been powered up.

"The plan is simple, we have to secure our treasures first," I said. "Robbing those two will be tricky without the whole territory thing limiting them. My senses, however, can already detect something, a lot of glistening, golden essences everywhere. I think those are the Treasures we'll look for... Every Dungeon has 25 each, if you receive my guidance, you'll be able to find yours quickly."

"Interesting..." Surtr nodded. "It is a bit shameless of me to receive your help once more, Master Drake... If not slightly frustrating that I can't do much myself in this situation."

"You sure can, get stronger by defeating any monster you can find," I said. "I'll need your help once we finally fight Pandemonium, Surtr. You're crucial, in fact."

"M-Me? I'm crucial?" Surtr felt slightly surprised.

"Emerald too," I said.

"Me too?! Eeeehhh?!" Emerald began panicking.

In fact, the only chance of winning against Pandemonium I can think about is... by combining their strength and powers with mine.
