The question asked by Strategist this time was confusing for many, but they knew of his wisdom and didn���t disturb him.
-I lost my position as a god when I ran away in the face of danger from the demons. All my demigods lost respect for me. They still protected my escape route and died. You could even say that I am just a life form in this multiverse,- Adam said, gritting his teeth.
Adam blamed all this on himself.
-But don���t think I was a coward; that���s why I ran away. I wanted to fight until the end. But all my brothers and sisters, they sacrificed everything and gave away all their resources to me, so that I can come and take revenge for all of them.-
Everyone looked at Adam and knew that the last hope of all the previous gods were none other than the -new gods.-
Sensing the tense moment, Adam tried to ease up the atmosphere and said, -Don���t worry about having demigods. Every godly year, there will surely be atleast one hero born in your territory -
-And if you cultivate it well, it can become a demigod easily, because these heroes have one or more SS-Grade talents and many smaller-grade talents.-
-Thus, the more you survive, the more strength you will have.-
-As for divine embryos, they are a luxury even to the old gods. When a demigod dies, there is a chance of a divine embryo manifesting in your world. I don���t know how it works, but it does, and that���s all that matters.-
Adam said this jokingly, but it eased the tension built up in all the gods��� hearts.
Kairos also felt happy upon hearing this, as his demigod had been captured by Sunny.
Many more questions were then asked by other gods, and the atmosphere again turned into a murmur.
In the end, when only five minutes were left, Sunny finally asked, -Adam, why are you so unreliable?-
This was Sunny���s gamble to get what he wanted the most, his gaze perfectly hidden behind his black mask.
Every god looked at Sunny; they didn���t know he was God Cosmos and felt that this god had a death wish, saying such things to Adam, the firstborn.
-Ah, God Cosmos, why do you think so?- Adam said, as he was aware of every god���s name.
-Oh, you know my name. Well, it isn���t unexpected. You are the all-knowing system, so do you know what my talent is?- Sunny checked the waters; he wanted to know how much Adam knew about the gods.
-No, I don���t. I am aware that no god should share their talents with each other, so I never tried to look at your talents and what you do. The system was just a part of my soul that didn���t merge back with me and will die when its time was up. Thus all the data will also be lost,- Adam said without thinking.
-Then I don���t mean you are unreliable but the part of your soul which I don���t know how you turned into a system,- Sunny asked probingly.
Upon noticing the conversation between the leader of the old gods and the potential leader of the new gods, all the gods fell silent.
They just began to listen to the conversation between Adam and Sunny.
Adam suddenly began to cast some seals, and a third eye opened in his glabella.
And suddenly, he flared up, -You have the gall to say that? God Cosmos-
Chapter 48: Ch 48 : Third Talent
-I gave all my divinity to the system, so that it can help you all until the first godly week. It was meant to help you all,- Adam said as he defended himself against Sunny���s allegations.
-But you spent all my collected faith points on trading. I never thought any god could do so many transactions,- Adam now blamed Sunny.
-Trading anything requires a huge amount of faith; even just sharing a message in a universe will cost multiple faith points. You can imagine the price yourself for trading items.- Adam further complained about Sunny.
All the gods who heard this were unable to comprehend how Sunny could have used up all the faith reserves that were meant for all the gods.
-Haha, you���re blaming me now? Instead of this, you should have reserved more faith points for us gods,- Sunny replied.
Adam fumed with flames upon hearing this. But Sunny wasn���t doing this just to make Adam angry.
He knew that Adam posed no threat to him, as his perception was high due to his God���s Eye.
-We are going to take revenge for you, after all,- Sunny said, and the anger that flared in Adam quickly subsided.
-Well, Adam, I want to invite you to spend your leftover time in my world. Will you give me this pleasure?- Sunny asked Adam.
Adam began to ponder the request.
He had nothing to do, and his time was very limited, about one or two days.
God Cosmos was currently the leading god of all the gods, so Adam didn���t want Sunny to have any bad feelings toward him.
Thus He agreed to Sunny���s request.
After a few more dialogues with other gods, the souls of all the gods returned to their bodies in their God space. It marked the end of the seventh day.
In Sunny���s God space, he was not alone. Adam���s soul was also with him.
-You can visit my world,- Sunny said to Adam, pointing toward Veridia. -It is called Veridia.-
As Adam descended into Veridia, Sunny began to put his thoughts into his divine talent, -Skill-Resonance.-
The system was no longer there to help him copy a talent from his life forms, so now, in the system���s absence, he needed to do it himself.
Sunny focused on Umbra and thought of copying the talent -Cloning.-
He could also copy Adam���s talent, but he decided against it for now.
While Adam���s -Overgrowth- talent helped life forms push past their limits to reach the demigod realm, Sunny���s current life forms were not yet at their talent limits.
The few who had reached their maximum potential were only at C-Grade or below; even with -Overgrowth,- they would require a huge amount of time to reach DemiGod realm.
Thus, he had decided to invite Adam to Veridia, as his talent clearly stated that he could copy the talent of any life form on his territory.
Therefore, Sunny copied the -Cloning- technique from Umbra.
He felt a familiar feeling, one he had felt when he copied the -Magic Affinity- talent from Nova.
But there was no system to show Sunny his current talents.
Sunny thought for a second and then used his -God���s Eye- on himself.
His -God���s Eye- had the ability to show detailed information about someone.
He couldn���t see the information of other gods because of their defenses, but looking at his own information was easy.
God Name: Cosmos
Profession: Mage (C-Grade)
Talents: Skill-Resonance (SSS-Grade), Mana Affinity (SS-Grade), Cloning (SS-Grade)
Faith Points: (you guys guess, I forgot)
Sunny thought about the talent -Cloning,- and the detailed information of this talent appeared in his mind.
Talent: Cloning
Grade: SS
Description: Can use faith points to create a clone. The clone can work and think independently and will have all the strength of the user. Anything the clones achieve will be provided to the main body.
Notes:
1 -> The clone can exist without any ongoing cost; it is just a one-time cost of faith points.
2 -> Each new clone you create will have their cost increase exponentially.
3 -> These clones will always listen to the command of the creator.
— — Sunny was shocked as he checked this information again and again in his mind.
In the end, after confirming it more than five times, he said in amazement, -My talent is this powerful? Even Umbra would be jealous if she saw this.-
He immediately created a clone of himself, and the cost was just 10 faith points.
This clone looked exactly like him but still appeared lifeless.
With one thought from Sunny, the lifeless body of the clone shook, and he immediately came to life.
