Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 543 Rewards

Chapter 543 Rewards

Nial was calmly standing in the darkness of the Late God of Darkness' domain.
He took a few deep breaths and began to recollect the happenings of the last 100 days.
"I lost against Dilan…and I lost myself…"
Mumbling to himself, Nial continued to sulk and scratch the back of his head.
A long time might have passed inside the City of Trial but not even one day should have elapsed on Jundra. Not many things would have changed about his surroundings, but he would have changed a lot.
That was something Nial could tell for sure when thinking about the combat prowess of the Undying.
'His abilities…no, his Origin ability and special traits are not something anybody can possess while being at the Peak of the 3rd Tier…' Nial thought, while understanding very well that he shouldn't be in possession of so much power shortly after advancing to the Deux rank either.
His linked abilities would grow rapidly without the need for Nial to pay any attention to them. As for everything else, Nial was pretty sure that he had enough resources to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
Thus, Nial concluded that his time in the City of Trials had been spent well, especially since he got to know the other Fate Changer, his personality, and the big boss whom they would have to face sooner or later.
He didn't really like the way in which they encountered Hoert, the Devourer of Universes, but it was not as if Nial could change the past. It had happened and he had to acknowledge the truth and move on.
[It looks like you came back victorious! Both, you and the Undying received the highest possible evaluations, congratulations!] Damian's voice rang in his ears which caused them to perk up.
It hadn't been that long since he had heard the Late God of Darkness' voice but Nial felt much calmer thanks to it. Taking a deep breath to calm down the mess in his heart and head, Nial spent a minute in silence.
"Wasn't that what you guys expected to happen when throwing us Fate Changers at each other?" He asked once he got back to his senses before he added, "So…what are my rewards?"
Nial was still shocked by the events of the last hundred days but he felt much better now that he had left the City of Trials.
Becoming stronger was paramount. Hoert was an opponent nobody could face right now and it was necessary for Nial and Dilan to become powerhouses. As long as they ascended Godhood, it shouldn't be too much of an issue for them to reach a combat prowess that was comparable to the Ancient Gods. That was something Nial was hoping for even if he couldn't be certain about it.
[Do you just want to know more about your rewards, or do you want to obtain them right now? You can also pick only a few rewards right now and pick the remaining rewards when the timing is better. After all, I don't know if you're needed on Jundra!] Damian offered, which Nial answered without giving it much thought.
"First tell me what my rewards are before I pick them!"
He was not too sure how the situation in Halheim was because the Dracos and Humans might not be able to stand each other. After the things the Linaton race did to them, it was only obvious that the origin humans would have a hard time trusting other races, but that was something Nial had to change.
A few individuals of other races had already taken residence in their Shelters including Originals who had been abandoned by their own race for various reasons. Not all of them were bad, which was quite obvious when looking at the Elves and the flourishing relationship between them and the origin humans.
They might have a similar appearance to humans but Elves were a different race. With that in mind, Nial hoped that there wouldn't be too many problems waiting for him when he returned home.
[One of your rewards is that you will be shown parts of my Memories, which include my Cultivation progression, how I created my Divinity, and so on. As for the rest, your Mana Sea can be transformed into a Sea of Darkness. It will give you better control of dark energy, modify and enhance your mana veins and alter them in a way where the mana you absorb will immediately be transformed into dark energy.
This will allow you to direct the mana you absorb immediately in your Heart of Darkness, the Darkness Sea, or anywhere else in your body. The dark veins will also accept Chaos, the Essence of Darkness, and your crimson moonlight. Once the Sea of Darkness has been finished, your strength will increase drastically. I don't want to take the surprise away from you, so I won't tell you anymore about the Sea of Darkness.
Other than my Memories and the Sea of Darkness, you will also be given three techniques that have been created and practiced by the God of Darkness, aka me. They were tweaked a little bit to fit your abilities better but it will be possible for you to make further changes in the future if you feel the need to do so.
After all, I was never proficient in the Power of Chaos, or with the crimson moonlight reinforcement energy that you're using!
One of the techniques is a Martial Art technique, the second technique is a Movement technique and the third is a Cultivation technique that has been created by me to focus on the accumulation of dark energy and the reinforcement of the Essence of Darkness!]
'You are very prideful, aren't you?' Nial thought while the corners of his lips curled upward. He couldn't help but think that there was a definite change in Damian's behavior.
Rather than sounding monotonous, or even annoyed, the Late God of Darkness' voice was filled with a tinge of excitement. Nial was not sure where that excitement came from but it was a refreshing change nonetheless.
Other than that, Nial was quite surprised about the rewards he was about to receive.
The memories of the Late God of Darkness were exceptionally useful. He would gain more combat experience from them, learn a lot more about the new cultivation path he seemed to have unlocked, knowledge about the Universe and various races and much more.
The three new techniques would also be useful, but the thing that Nial was the most interested in finding out about was definitely the change of his cultivation path.
Even if he didn't ask for it, Nial could tell that it was a great opportunity to turn his Mana Sea into a Sea of Darkness. It was not as if he was using his mana for many things when he was in possession of several types of energy that were more potent and easier to use.
Dark energy was his Mana in a way, just that it was stronger and better in every sense.
The only downside was that he wouldn't be able to hide his dark energy from other races the moment he 'abandoned' his Mana. That downside might create a few problems with a bunch of races that would sooner or later find out about him and his relation to Damian, but it was not as if he could hide the truth forever.
With that in mind, Nial made a decision.
