Chapter2-God-Tier Reward

[1.Leave, and obtain random information.

2.Step onto the stage and challenge her, and receive a god-tier reward!]

Hearing the mechanical voice in his ears, Owen was shocked!

A system!

The indispensable system for transmigrators had finally arrived!

Looking at the two choices given by the system, Owen fell into deep thought.

Although he didn't understand the system's intentions, the first option was clearly not the better choice.

After all, the random information might be valuable, but it could also be trivial. The difference in potential outcomes was too great.

Moreover, based on his knowledge of the anime's original plot, he didn't have a high demand for information.

However, this choice was undoubtedly very safe and carried no risk.

As for the second choice, a god-tier reward was undoubtedly great.

However, Madelyn was a top-tier prodigy. Relying solely on the god-tier reward to defeat her wouldn't be easy.

While Owen was silently weighing the pros and cons, Madelyn on the stage raised her staff with great interest and pointed it at Owen.

"Since you have the courage not to retreat, come up and fight!"

With Madelyn's provocative words, all eyes in the venue turned to Owen.

"Who is this guy? Madelyn actually wants to challenge him!"

"He looks like an ordinary commoner, but why does he seem so calm and composed? Could he be a hidden dark horse?"

"In front of Madelyn, who dares to call themselves a dark horse? Even if he has some strength, Madelyn is invincible. I bet he doesn't even have the courage to accept the challenge."

"Exactly, he'll either turn around and leave or admit defeat right there on the spot..."

The various voices of discussion made the plaza noisy again. Most people looked at Owen with teasing and mocking eyes, not believing he had the courage to face Madelyn's challenge.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Owen's expression didn't change much. He took a deep breath, then with a determined look, he began to walk towards the stage step by step!

Now that Madelyn had named him in her challenge, given her prideful nature, she wouldn't let him off easily.

He had lived a cowardly life, his popular character designs had been exploited by the studio because of his weakness.

This time, I won't bow my head!

Since I have the opportunity, I have to give it my all!

Moreover, if he received the god-tier talent from the system reward, he might stand a chance to defeat Madelyn.

Why not take a gamble?

At worst, he would only be injured by Madelyn, but she wouldn't kill him.

With the god-tier reward, his destiny would be rewritten!

In the anime's thousand-year timeline, prodigies with god-tier talents and items were extremely rare.

And those who grew up with such talents invariably became renowned figures!

With talent and strength, he could better control his own destiny!

Everything starts with challenging Madelyn, this celestial prodigy!

Step by step...

Owen's pace was slow but steady, his footsteps falling clearly on the green bricks of the plaza.

The crowd's clamor gradually subsided as they stared at him in disbelief.

They couldn't believe their eyes!

He actually had the courage to walk onto the stage and face Madelyn's challenge!

On the stage, Madelyn watched Owen approach, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

In her perception, the closer Owen got to the stage, the more steady his aura became, showing no signs of fear before the battle.

Especially when he stepped onto the stage, there was an inexplicable confidence about him, like a blazing sun that subtly disrupted her aura of invincibility.

This was an intangible change, as if the handsome young man before her had the strength and confidence to challenge her!

At that moment, as Owen stepped onto the stage, his outward expression remained calm, but his heart was racing wildly.

Not just because he was about to challenge the undefeated prodigy of the empire.

But also because a phantom system panel appeared before his eyes!

[Choice 'Accept the Challenge' successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining a god-tier talent—Order of Merlin!]

God-tier talent: Order of Merlin (Greatly enhances the host's ability to convert mana, allowing the host to level up ten times faster than ordinary people).

In an instant, the mana elements around Owen began to vibrate.

He felt like a massive magnet, continuously drawing mana into his body.

There was no need for him to meditate actively; the mana flowed into him frantically, filling his entire being, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

All previous hunger and fatigue vanished!

His whole body felt brimming with boundless energy, and his vitality was unprecedentedly high!

Feeling this, his heart almost leaped out of his chest with excitement.

In the original anime, leveling up was extremely difficult, with each level and tier taking months or even decades to achieve!

Even those with a natural affinity for mana could only train at most three times faster than ordinary people.

But he was ten times faster than ordinary people!

Even the top prodigies, in terms of cultivation speed, were just slightly better than ordinary people compared to him!

With this god-tier talent, he could easily surpass the top geniuses in a short amount of time!

Owen clenched his fist in extreme satisfaction. This choice had paid off immensely!

[Congratulations to the host for activating the system for the first time, awarding the god-tier skill—Mana Void and the god-tier weapon—Godslayer Staff!]

The system's voice echoed again.

Owen's mind raced as he quickly checked the details.

God-tier skill: Mana Void (Can drain mana within a ten-meter radius of the host, significantly enhancing the host's strength. Note: The domain range grows with the host's power!)

Seeing this, Owen's smile grew so wide he could barely contain it, nearly bursting into laughter.

In the original anime, those who could wield a domain were formidable figures. And from the start, he could control a domain!

Moreover, Mana Void was extremely domineering. Whether a dark mage or a white mage, they all needed mana to cast skills and spells.

For mages without a domain, this was a total suppression!

After all, without mana around, a mage was just a slightly stronger ordinary person!

Owen then forced himself to calm down and looked at the god-tier weapon.

God-tier weapon: Godslayer Staff (An ancient artifact left behind by the dark god king, capable of changing forms. Currently sealed, it has seven stages. Each stage unlocked grants a new weapon form. Currently, the first stage is unlocked, allowing it to transform into a sword.)

God-tier weapon skill: Supreme Sword, which enhances all attacks by 100 times. It can gather mana to form a sword aura, attacking enemies from afar. The sword aura contains the killing intent of the dark god king, making it unavoidable!

Unbelievable!

Worthy of being the weapon of the ancient dark god king.

After reading about the Godslayer Staff, Owen could only think of one thing!

Just unlocking the first stage already granted it such terrifying power.

If all seven stages were unlocked, with such a divine weapon in hand, he could surely recreate the dark god king's legendary feats of challenging the gods alone!

The mere thought made Owen excited beyond measure.

Such a precious artifact needed to be unlocked as soon as possible!

Next, Owen opened his personal panel.

Name: Owen 

Tier: Bronze-tier lv9 

Talent: Order of Merlin [god-tier] 

Experience Points: 0/10000 

Skills: Mana Void; Supreme Sword 

Weapon: Godslayer Staff (1/7) 

Luck: 90 (max 100) 

Fate Value: 100 (obtained by seizing MC's opportunities, 1000 points to unlock the fate shop for rewards)

Not bad, straight to Bronze-tier lv9. Owen was extremely satisfied.

According to the tier classification: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, Sage, Divine. 

Each tier is divided into lv1 to lv9, nine levels per tier.

He was still just a lower-tier mage, but with a god-tier talent, god-tier weapon, and a god-tier domain, crossing a major tier would be effortless!

While Owen was sorting through his system rewards, Madelyn, opposite him, felt the smile on her pretty face gradually replaced by anger.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Owen's smile had spread so wide it nearly reached the back of his head!

He wasn't taking her seriously at all!

Moreover, the look in his eyes had changed from being neither humble nor arrogant to something more arrogant and eager.

It seemed he was impatient to start this challenge!

This feeling of being underestimated—she couldn't remember the last time she had experienced it!

In the past, it was always she who looked down on others, never the other way around!

This guy!

He must pay for his mocking smile and actions!

Madelyn bit her lip tightly, staring at Owen, gripping her staff more firmly.
