The spaceship was almost the same size as the entire Devon island. It was also hovering high on top of the Devon island, so it was easy to see the comparison.
? Inside the spaceship, there was the main hall in which two representatives of the Galactic Alliance of the Milky Way were sitting with all council members of the academy.
…
From the castle, Arkhen directly told Velshi to teleport them to where all the important people were present. As such, Arkhen, Emily, and Azela directly appeared in the main hall.
"Hmm? Who are you? How did you teleport here?" A man in his early thirties asked as he stood up with a frown. He was a human but was also the representative of the GAMW. He had long red hair reaching his shoulders and wore a knight-like cool sci-fi armor.
"Sir Marlen. He is our leader that we told you about," quickly said the old man with a long white beard as he also stood up.
"So he is that," said a blue-skinned man with two antennas on his head. He was sitting beside Marlen.
"Please sit here, Arkhhen," a man from the table stood up, intending to give his seat to Arkhen.
"No need," Arkhen said with a faint smile as he waved his hand and created three thrones behind the table where everyone was sitting but on higher ground. The thrones were magnificent as they looked way better than the two seats on which those two representatives were sitting.
"Don't you know that guests should act humble?" Marlen said as he narrowed his eyes.
"Hahaha, you are interesting, human," said Bitan as he laughed loudly. Bitan was the blue-skinned humanoid with two antennae on his head. He was of Blubar race.
Arkhen grinned as he tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne and said, "I'll be straightforward with you. I want two things. First, a bulk of primal essence, mana essence, and chi essence. Second, I want a position as an Elder-level member in your alliance."
Bitan's laughter stopped as he and Marlen looked at Arkhen with a dumbfounded expression.
"Stop with those faces and tell me the requirement," Arkhen said with a nonchalant expression. "Whatever the requirement is, I will complete it. Or, I have other ways to get that position as well."
"Are you serious?" Marlen asked with a frown. "Do you even know the deta-"
"Stop there," Arkhen interrupted Marlen as he tilted his head slightly and rested his chin on his right hand before saying indifferently. "I am not interested in your Galactic Alliance structure or whatever. As for whether I am serious or not, should I prove it by killing one of you?"
|Marlen|
-Stamina: 100
-Agility: 100
-Strength: 100
-EP: 87,456
—> Mana energy: [1,000,000/1,000,000]
Although Marlen was very powerful, he wouldn't be able to unleash his full strength here. The maximum limit one could bear was releasing an attack with 35,000 EP worth of power.
However, Arkhen was curious as to why Marlen and Bitan didn't ascend despite already having the ability and connection to ascend to the 1st realm.
"Hahaha, you think you can kill one of us?" Bitan said with a snarly laugh.
"I am always ready to kill," Arkhen said with a grin. "Especially red dots like you. So if you want to see whether I can kill you two or not, you can try."
Marlen narrowed his eyes and sat down while turning his chair to face Arkhen. "Your EP is lower than us. Your age is lower than ours. Your experience is also lower than ours. Your knowledge is also lower than ours. So that means, your combat ability is also lower than ours. On what basis do you believe you can win a 1v1 dual against us?"
Arkhen laughed as he shook his head constantly. "I don't know. I just feel that I can win."
'Velshi, do you know the reason why they haven't ascended yet? Spend reality points and gather all information about this.'
[4 reality points spent. My lord. I just gathered information, and I know the answer now from this spaceship. I was also not fully knowledgeable about all the realms. So I didn't know. But it seems that these people usually reach 100,000 EP before ascending to the 1st realm. That way, they can be at a correct starting line in the 1st realm]
[As I told you before, the limit of this daily quest is until you reach 100,000 EP. That's achievable when you refine one of your cores to the limit. Once you have reached the limit, the core will evolve. So these people basically reach the limit of their core refinement and directly evolve their cores after ascending to the 1st realm since the core can only evolve after reaching the 1st realm]
'I see. Well, I planned to reach 100,000 EP in the first place. That's why I asked for those essences.'
"Fine, since you want to know the requirement to become an Elder-level member, then we'll tell you," Marlen said with a nod before he waved his hand, and a hologram appeared in front of him.
Marlen waved his hand again as the hologram screen flew towards Arkhen and appeared in front of him.
Azela and Emily also curiously looked at the hologram.
[Elder level member requirements and Perks]
—Requirements:
1. Passing Elder level combat test.
2. Combating other elder level members and getting approval of at least two.
3. One million Milky Way Alliance contributions.
—Perks:
1. Getting recommendations for a better working position after entering the 1st realm.
2. Beginner Resource package after entering the 1st realm.
3. A training session to learn a single 1st class A-rank skill and a gift of 1st class A-rank item after ascending to the 1st realm.
'So one can only receive these perks after ascending to the 1st realm…' Arkhen thought.
"How long it takes to gather 1 million Alliance contributions?" Arkhen asked. If it wasn't too hard and he felt that he could gather them easily, he didn't mind fulfilling the requirement so he can also enjoy visiting other planets.
