15 Chapter 15: Returning home and telling the good news (1)
"What's happening!" Lucius shouted in confusion
At that moment a notification flashed in his retina.
(The absorber badge absorbs the red energy.)
(The badge has successfully absorbed all of the red energy. The badge has evolved into a Divine badge.)
(Divine badge Grade: E
Description.
This badge symbolizes that one is a Divinity. As long as the user wearing this badge, their healing speed will be 20 percent and mana capacity by 5 percent. As the user grades increase the positive effect will also increase.)
Lucius carefully read the notification flashing in his retina, not daring to miss even a single detail.
He finished reading the notifications, he gained an understanding of the situation after he was reading the notifications.
"The inspector intentionally gave us these badges since they knew that once we pledge loyalty this will happen" Lucius thought to himself.He looked around him, and he saw the red aura surrounding the others was also gone. Everyone's badge was glowing brightly, emitting a golden light but very soon it also started to fade away.
Lucius looked beside him, unlike others they didn't seem to be surprised or even a little bit bothered by the glowing badge. They kept staring at the statues of the heroes of humanity. Their carefree attitude made Lucius think.
"Did they know about this from the beginning?" Lucius thought to himself.
Just as he was pondering about this, a powerful voice resounded through the entire place.
Lucius dropped all of his thoughts and paid close attention to the voice.
"The crimson aura enveloping you signifies the bestowed power from humanity's heroes.
We knew about this in advance so we provided badges capable of permanently holding these blessings. Without the badge, the bestowed powers would dissipate." Longan Declared.
"As expected," Lucius mumbled.
The announcement didn't end there.
"The will of the Heroes of humanity has acknowledged you as a Divinity of humanity.
From this moment forward, you all are Divinities. The badge that you are wearing is proof of that so don't lose it."Longan declared, revealing a smile for the first time since the start of the exams.
Everyone burst into cheer, the moment the announcement ended.
"Haha, I have finally become a Divinity"
"Yoohoo, I am a Divinity now!!.
When Lucius heard, a notification flashed in his retina. He took a glance at the notification.
(You have completed the third round of the Evaluation exams)
(The chain quest and evaluation exams have ended)
(You have gained 1000 exp)
(You have leveled up to level 5)
(All of your stats have increased randomly. Open the stats window to view them)
(Congratulations you have become a full-fledged Divinity)
(You have gained the privilege of a Divinity. People will respect you wherever you go)
Lucius watched the happiness of everyone around him with a smile on his face. If anyone saw him, then they would send a stream of tears falling from his face.
"I have become a Divinity. I didn't let you down, mom, dad and teacher Aaron. You guys are going to be so happy when you hear the news" Lucius mumbled.
As he was crying he felt a hand touching him on his shoulders, he quickly wiped off his tears and turned around.
He saw Zoe staring at him while keeping her hand on his shoulder, there was a look of concern in her eyes.
"Why do you seem so down even though you became a Divinity?" Zoe asked Lucius.
"It's nothing, I just remembered a bitter memory so let's not talk about it anymore" Lucius replied.
Zoe nodded her head slightly in response.
"Let's drop this matter, tell what will you do now that you have become a Divinity" Zoe asked.
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Lucius was stunned for a split second as he fell into a deep thought.
"I just realized, I never thought what I would do after becoming a Divinity" Lucius thought to himself.Lucius saw Zoe staring at her, and a few seconds later he decided to tell her the truth.
"Well, I am not sure what I am going to do. I need some time to think, '' Lucius replied.
Zoe nodded her head and turned her attention to the inspectors and envoy.
"I wonder when we will be allowed to leave," Luca exclaimed.
The inspectors and the envoy were looking at the crowd of newly promoted Divinities with a slight smile on their faces.
However, the smile disappeared and Longan reminded them of a thing that they wanted to forget.
"We must make that announcement right now. Isn't that right Honorable envoy" Longan said to the others.
Fear, regret, and helplessness were born on everyone's face when they remembered that thing. Nevertheless, the envoy still commented.
"We got to do what we must do. Tell them that I am going to make an announcement" The envoy declared, his voice carrying sorrow.
Longan just nodded his head slightly, just as he was about to make the announcement, a weird sound through the ears of the inspectors and the envoy. The sound was coming from the pocket of the envoy.
"Wait, don't make an announcement right now," The envoy said to them.
The others nodded their heads, and the envoy took out a weird-looking device.
The round object emitted a peculiar sound and glow. The envoy infused a bit of mana into it, causing it to split into two parts. One side featured around 10 buttons, while the other held a screen, connected by a hinge. This object was a mana communication device.
"Everyone stay quiet, someone from the Divine Kingdom has called me. Don't make a sound until I am done talking" The envoy warned the others.
They just nodded their heads in approval in response as they stared at him. The envoy pressed a button on the device then it stopped glowing, ringing sound also disappeared without a trace.
"Is the envoy sent to the Moonlight kingdom speaking to me now?" A voice resounded through the entire place.
When the envoy heard the voice he started to sweat due to nervousness. The envoy quickly pressed another button which caused the device to exit from speaker mode. He moved the device closer to his ears.
"Yes, this is the envoy sent to the Moonlight kingdom" The envoy replied, his voice carrying nervousness.
The envoy began to just listen to the person who had called him, he didn't say a single word. As time went by, the grim look on his face disappeared slowly.
He moved the device from his ear while closing it, then he kept it inside his pocket a few minutes later.
He stared at the inspectors for a few seconds, there was a look of relief on his face.
"Everyone, majesty has commanded not to make that announcement since it will cause fear among the lower ranked Divinities it might hinder their growth." The envoy had a look of relief on their face.
"That's very good," Longan said while sighing, there was a visible look of relief on his face.
"You may allow them to leave now," The envoy said.
Longan nodded his head and walked toward the stages
"I wonder what they are doing?" Lucius exclaimed as he waited for their permission to leave.
Just as he and the others were becoming impatient to leave, a powerful voice resounded through the entire place.
"Everyone, you all have passed Divinity exams with your abilities. Now you don't have any reason to stay here but before you leave, I would like to say something to all of you.
First of all the badge that you are wearing is proof that you are a Divinity so don't lose it. Secondly, you can do anything that you wish as long as you don't harm or betray humanity." Logan's powerful voice resounded through the entire place.
He pointed his finger towards the gate.
"You all can leave now," Longan declared.
A powerful sound resounded through the entire place right after Longan's deceleration, the sound was similar to the sound of the door opening.
