Chapter 968 Poisonous Miasmic Moth Divine Spirit

-----

When the contract between the Divine Spirit and my soul was made, it felt like something I've never felt before! It was completely different than my connection with the Undead I controlled, which was more like just an Authority, this was an intrinsic connection, a bond of soul and emotions.

I could feel the innocence of this spirit, and the little trust they put on me, so much it felt slightly embarrassing how naïve it was. I had to make sure to make this spirit happy and feed it well, or it might lose trust and leave me.

But for now, the power I felt was incredible, as long as this connection remained, my Soul itself grew at least a ten percent larger than before, which is an immense feat considering how big and strong it already was.

Ding!

[You've created a Spirit Contract with the [Poisonous Miasmic Moth Divine Spirit]!]

[As your first ever Divine Spirit contract, you've unlocked many new Spirit Magic Spells!]

[You acquired the [Divine Spirit Mage: Lv1] Title Skill!]

[All Spirit-related Skills have gained 1 Bonus Level!]

[Your Aether has increased by +100!]

Not only did I get an awesome new Title Skill, but also all of my Spirit-related Skills gained a bonus level, and I gained 100 Aether, the unique stat that showcases the growth of my Soul! I can't believe it. This is out of this world!

Ding!

[Do you wish to give a Name to the Divine Spirit you've contracted with? If they like the name, their affection towards you might increase.]

"A-A name? Sure... Okay, I got it. You'll be Amethysts." I smiled, patting its fluffy head, the little antennae it had gave an adorable little movement, as it climbed over me and then rested on my chest.

"Okay, I don't think it is enough to make a celebration about it..." I sighed. "But I'm grateful for the compliments, nonetheless. Let's head back home now, I don't think there's any other spirit left, sadly."

"I'm wondering how the town we built with Naiad looks now..." Said Eustace. His face filled with excitement slowly changed as we told him all the horrendous things that have happened in here.

"T-This is awful... Why would a Saintess do this? Ah, she's a Saintess of that rotten Water Goddess, huh?" Eustace wondered. "That woman was the daughter of a powerful Player like Odin, she was most likely born in luxuries and never struggled. I doubt she has ever traveled anywhere else than Yggdrasil. Ordering her Saintess to do these horrendous thins does align with how I remember her to be."

"You meet her in person?" I wondered. "But how did you get to where the Gods are? Don't I need to ascend first?"

"I did undergo Ascension. You could say I was something like a Demigod before my death." Eustace said. "I am now back to S Rank. I would need to reach SSS Rank to finally become a Demigod again. And once you reach L Rank, your Divine Ember develops into a Divinity Core by fusing with your Origin. And then... I, huh, I don't remember well what happens next."

"Well, figures, you're a ghost. All ghosts have bad memories, I was surprised you remembered so much." I laughed a bit. "So I need to be SSS Rank to be a Demigoddess, huh? That sounds like a lot of annoying grinding."

"Well, not necessarily. Some Players could reach that stage much earlier. It depends on your talent, Traits, Skills, and other things. Oh right, the Divine Concept too... Some people are born with it naturally, very talented ones that are usually already a god's children. If you Cultivate through Murim's techniques coupled with leveling, your growth speed should be twice as fast if not more. I remember there was also something in this world they called Magic Circle Creation. Has anybody done that yet?" Eustace asked.

"Wait, the what?" I wondered, everyone was just as confused.

"You don't know what it is?!" He was shocked. "But that can't be... Unless the "Gods" of this world have been purposely making all of this information harder to find? But why do they want to weaken the inhabitants of this world so much?"

"Probably to have better control over the population." Lucifer said. "There are also level caps, most people can't reach a level higher than 50."

"What...? That wasn't as common as before..." Eustace muttered. "Odin, that monster is obsessed with having control over the people. Probably thinking that an inhabitant of Yggdrasil could become a Player themselves is what's making him so afraid... That someone would dare challenge their throne in this World, which they stole from the true ancient Gods, the Dragons and Titans. Who existed in this world even before it was aligned with the Tower, according to what I know."

"There's a lot of knowledge that is taboo to spread around, apparently..." I said. "Jonathan, do you know anything like this?"

"I do... I do remember a few things, taboo knowledge that the church killed people for just to keep it a secret. Things about a "Tower connecting Worlds" and such, which I never believed..." Jonathan was left speechless.
