Chapter 305 Buying Power

Chapter 305  Buying Power

The gate to the [Shop] was near the root of the Tree. To be exact, it was inside the trunk right now. While it should have taken a few minutes at least to reach this point, with the help of Rhea, teleporting here was a piece of cake.

Inside the [Shop], things were a little different from before.

"Did you change the [Shop] as well?" I asked as I looked at the changed interior with the new interface system. Last time there were simple holograms selling various things, now there are stalls with high-tech systems that show more than just one option to buy.

"Nope. It was included with you leveling up to Level 30. You will gain more things as you level up, someday gaining the ability to open your 'Shop' through which you can earn any currency you want. Though that is for later,"she spoke as she took me to the [Skill] section.

"Since we don't have to worry about Cronas much, let's start getting you upgraded for most things,"she added.

[Aura of the Black God(Unique)!]

That was only the start. I followed Rhea to buy

[Aura of the Rage Titian(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Blessed Angel(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Water Maker(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Defender(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Mother Nature(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Fallen God(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Caretaker(Unique)!]

[Aura of the Vengeful One(Unique)!]

.

.

While each of them took about 50 to 100 Million, in total I had to spend about 4 Billion to gain a lot of Auras of various types. Even then, it wasn't enough as Rhea told me that these are the bare minimum to start my next training.

"Initially, I was planning to teach you the basics of all types of energies and then help you learn the [Second Slash]. But now that we have an opportunity, I will help you to kill all the Higher Beings in this Universe, gaining their extracts and bringing out the full potential of these Aura. That way, we can make you as powerful as you can within the limits. This will serve as a solid foundation for your Divine power,"she spoke with a lot of excitement as she then began helping me with one skill over another.

While most of the skills were powerful, Rhea spoke that I don't essentially need it as my defense is near perfect with [Time Rejection] and my attack [Ground Zero: First Slash!] Should be able to help me slice almost all the surrounding enemies.

"What you need right now is Utility Skills. Things like teleportation and stuff,"She spoke as she kept going through the skills before finally deciding on a bunch of skills that she had made me buy.

It was just the start. I got skills that allowed me to control objects from a distance, things like telekinesis with a limitation. Powers that could allow me to fly at a rapid speed. There was one thing that allowed me to heal and another that allowed me to control dark power.

Rhea was really going all out in getting me all the powers she can. Though unlike the [Utility] skills, when the other skills which included energies like Dark and Light magic, she didn't go overboard but simply went with the lowest one.

"You will be starting with them to understand how magic works. You will need everything if you are going to face 'Him',"she said while she helped me with the skills.

"With all these powers, would I even need to use my Time Powers?" I joked as I looked at the amount of skills I had right now. But she turned at me with a slightly confused look as she spoke,

"Of course you are going to need it. The first step was to familiarize you with everything time related. The second step is to help you understand the powers of other natures."

She then stopped at the [skill] Section as she took me to the [Weapons] Section and spoke,

"Once you master this, I will help you understand the concept of Time and how to connect it with all your spells that you will learn. You might have taken it for granted, but the System won't always be with you. In fact, after some upgrades, you will rely less and less on the System.

Let's see. After the third step, comes learning space, dimension, and then we will move to Divine energy. Once done with that, we will move to learning how to combine everything. By that time, you probably even stop using the System all together."

Hearing her words, I just looked at her. Just how long is this journey going to be? After hearing about it, I was rather skeptical about it. I just wanted a normal life… nothing more, nothing less. Is all this insane, never ending stuff really necessary?

"Well. You might be overwhelmed with all this, but you can't back out now anymore… After all, Cronos has also woken up. From here onwards, you will need to prepare for the worst either way… A simple life can only be granted after you either save the entire universe or kill it maybe?" she spoke as she looked at me with a pair of boots in her hand.

"Well… it's overwhelming but not too much… also... What do you mean by I need to prepare for the worst? You speak as if Cronos is out for my life… isn't he the one who gave me the System?"I asked with a bit of doubt. I was sure that it was Cronus that helped me with the System.

"Well… if I answer your question, things will get so hectic that we might end up spending years telling you the entire story. And even then, your doubts might not be clear,"she spoke with an awkward face.

"Ummm. Okay. Answer the question. I promise I won't ask anymore questions… for now,"I spoke as I really wanted to know about it.

"It wasn't Cronos that gave you the System. It was the Zombie King,"She answered
