10 Ancient God's spark
Ancient God's spark
After the binding, five identical rings materialize in front of him.
These rings will give the wearer the ability to teleport across different regions inside the <Orbital Skypalace Babylon>.
After using [Over-Detection Item scan], one of its <item description> says that the fortress master has the option to duplicate more-- if he wishes to.
Deus studies the ring, it was made from a high-grade metal. On its center is an insignia of a face-like symbol resembling an alien species.
Well, looking at the design of this fortress do reminded him of those fictional alien spaceships from the classic movies.
He equipped one and stored the other three.
"Mischief, equip this ring."
--tossing the remaining ring to the kitsune brat, who studies it curiously.
"Nyaster, I can move around in this flying fortress nyast fine, I don't need this."
--even though she said that, she still put it on her finger, clearly liking it.
"I know, but that ring has an additional function. It can instantly teleport you inside the fortress if you are a hundred kilometres away from it. It would be useful when escaping."
"But nyaster, it is still creepy to give a little girl a nyring."
--hearing this, Deus thought that the one who inputs Mischief's personality setting was the real creep.
She is still acting the same way towards him, even after becoming the fortress' master.
Deus stopped paying attention to the little brat, and started to find the <NPC creation tool> but failed to do so.
He certainly remember-- that an assistance tool will be available once he acquired that bonus reward.
After spending some time searching, even the bonus reward was also missing. There is no notification indicating that he had received the free 500lvl NPC creation reward.
After searching thoroughly, he finally finds something odd inside of his spacial inventory.
Five new unknown items existed there.
Five jewel stones giving of a tremendous ancient aura, each illuminating different colors—
Blood ruby, flora emerald, eclipse black, chilling sapphire and heavenly gold.
Deus used [Over-Detection Item scan] to appraise those unknown items.
////////////////////
<Ancient God's Spark> (????)
This stone imbued the power of the Ancient Ones.
Only the chosen can awaken its slumbering power.
////////////////////
Aside from the item's name, it only has a very short description and nothing else.
Deus stared at this item's description for some time—
Before throwing the stones intensely to the floor.
"Bullshiiiit!--"
the stones hit very hard againts the floor-- but not a single scratch appeared on them.
Right at this very moment, Deus resolve on murdering this world's Admins if they really do exist-- further intensifies.
"What chosen are you talking about? I AM the chosen. I OWN you!"
Deus was infuriated about this scam.
It's true that some of the game's mechanics have change a little after arriving here, but this is just too much.
His account being sealed-- led him being trapped inside a prison crystal, is acceptable.
But his precious bonus reward was robbed off him by this world's ridiculous mechanics.

Deus finally calmed down after a short moment of outburst-- he throws away that farce at the back of his mind.
After all, the <Orbital Skypalace Babylon> had finally arrive at its target destination.

This large-scale underground market is located on the eastern part of the continent.
Desire Grotto can be found beneath an extinct volcano inside the huge caverns on its base. This caverns were constructed into this large underground trading centers.
This large trading market were mostly controlled by the various large criminal organizations.
In the past, the Alfonse kingdom and Felgrand empire had suppressed them both openly and secretly and, after having experienced countless suppressions,
--many large criminal organizations who were sitting on the fence had finally chosen to group together and planned to create their own dominion.
But all their combined power were not enough, so they chose to work with a powerhouse that can threaten both of those nations.
The existence of Desire Grotto was like a torch in the dark; it attracted the various wanted criminals and underworld merchants from the various lands of the continent and it constantly expanded.
The only reason that this nefarious territory still existed to this day is thanks to that lord's protection.
At the top of this dead volcano, were an ancient citadel and a dark tower belonging to the strongest Demon lord.
Demon Lord Adreus, unlike Hannigan, is on a different scale of a Demon lord-- after all, he is a nobility from the devil race.

On a dark nasty building, a sea of cages can be seen-- locking up different races of slaves.
Most of them have already lost their will a long time ago; just lying there not moving. If not for the little movement of their chest, one might think that they are dead bodies.
On a special corner where the high quality goods are placed, a very strong looking orc is currently sitting cross-legged inside a Mitril-forged cage that was secured by multiple chains.
Products like him were only auctioned every three months.
Oorga has been imprisoned here for more than two months-- but his fighting spirit didn't waver at all.
He chose to preserve his energy by sitting there silently, calming his mind and controlling his breathing-- waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The sun has set a few hours ago.
On this dark night, an unknown entity appeared above this unwary domain.
Deus was floating above this gloomy territory while the flying fortress was kept inside his <Dimensional Void>.
This <Dimensional Void> is not the same as the pocket inventory void where players can keep their items,
--but an independent small world the size of 3 soccer field.
This is where he kept his most important 'things'.
He's currently enjoying the fresh cold air of this world, but as his gaze penetrated down into that filthy place, it would remind him of the real world.
Some of his deeply buried memories started to haunt him again-- dampening his mood, causing the elemental particles around him to go crazy.
During this turmoil, a wicked aura emerge beside him forming into a burning spear. The ghostly wails from the millions of soul harmonizes with the raging black flames on its surface.
In the world of <Yggdrasil>, this God level item once belong to a <World Enemy> level boss.
With its tremendous power, it's disturbing to think that it's only a fragment of a much superior weapon.
Deus grabs his spear and throws it towards the old citadel.
The moment the spear left his hand, it didn't create any disturbances on its surrounding-- but melted into the void.
"Mischief, activate the [Field barrier]."
--he then makes a retrieving gesture while giving Mischief who was beside him an order.
It was already night-time so only a few people realized the anomaly happening on the surrounding borders.

Demon Lord Adreus was currently enjoying his sumptuous meal.
As a devil, his main favourite dish were the dark emotions of the surface dwellers-- particularly fear and despair.
This is why he had agreed on protecting those lowly worms as they not only provide him with material wealth but also dark emotions from their 'products'.
All those suffering from those slaves were all harvested into his dark tower-- which acts as his food silo.
"The mermaid's meat are not bad-- " *munch*-- munch*
*slurp--*
"Guruguru, try another cooking method on the next one."
---the toad like monsters gave an order to his butler.
The octopus-head butler who was standing respectfully beside the Demon lord bowed his head and asked—
"My lord, which one of them would you like for your next meal?"
The butler shot a glance at the group of crying mermaids trapped on a transparent water tank.
That water tank is hanging on metal chains near the dining table. Letting them watch as he ate their kindred was a fantastic way to receive those delicious main dishes.
"That little one on the corner, but first-- make her drink a strong vitality potion, then grill her lower body"
'I wonder how long will she stay alive as she witness her watch lower body being eaten slowly by me—
Jiejiejie."
Hearing his lord's command, the octopus-head butler prepares to get the two large hooks--
*puii!--*
The butler who was leaving was startled by that sudden sound,
--turning around to look at the source of commotion-- *iiie!!*
Left him screaming from fright.
