Chapter 143: The Road of God

Arthur couldn't help but sigh.

The diamond-level gacha had brought him these powerful magic spells, each of which could greatly help him.

But he couldn't help but think that the odds were pretty low since he only had two diamond cards after more than 300 draws.

Arthur couldn't help but greedily wish that the diamond-level card draw had a guaranteed reward.

After daydreaming for a while, He calmed down and got ready to study the distribution of talents. He checked his own talents.

He integrates the two cards from Dumbledore into Defense Against the Dark Arts, the cards from Grindelwald into Transfiguration and the cards from Snape into Potions.

After integrating all the cards according to his own ideas, Arthur's talent level experienced a huge change.

[Host: Arthur Gaunt

Age: 14 years old

Status: Hogwarts Pre-Third Year Student

Bloodline: Pure-blood Wizard

Magic Scale: 165.2

Magical Items: Avalon, Wand: Ea, Resurrection Stone, Invisibility Cloak (temporary)

Charms Talent: 8

Defense Against the Dark Arts Talent: 9

Transfiguration Talent: 8

Potions Talent: 8

Dark Arts Talent: 9

Spells: Fiendfyre, Patronus Charm, and Cruciatus Curse (only listing the three with the highest proficiency)

This time, he drew a lot of Patronus Charms, which helped him make sure that none of his three best proficient spells were Dark Arts.

Seeing that he already had two max-level talents, Arthur remembered that he still had a talent-breaking card. He was still deciding whether to use it for Charms or Transfiguration.

As for Potions, Arthur thought about it for a short time, but in the end, he gave up.

The reason was simple: even if he reached the highest level in Potions, he would still have to spend a lot of time studying Herbology, and he wouldn't get much in return.

Also, many magical ingredients had vanished from the magical world, and without rice, even the smartest witches couldn't make a meal.

After some thought, Arthur decided to max out Charms first.

After all, he could still draw Dumbledore for Transfiguration, but he would have to wait for a new talent-breaking card for Charms.

Arthur then used the talent-breaking card, which caused his Charms talent to change.

Charms Talent: 9

At this point, Arthur had three level-nine talents, which made him better than both Dumbledore and Grindelwald in every way.

As for Voldemort, his ambitions were too low for Arthur to bother mentioning them.

Just then, the useless System, which had been quiet for a long time, started making a series of alert sounds.

[Ding! The host's three basic talents have reached level nine, the limit for mortals! The System is upgrading!]

[Upgrading...]

[Upgrade complete!]

[System upgrade complete! Officially renamed as the Archmage System!]

[System releases the exclusive main quest—The Path of the Archmage!]

[The Path of the Archmage: Quest requirement: Become the God of All Magic! Reward: Origin of All Magic]

[Now releasing the requirement quest for the main quest—Ascend to the Godly Tier]

[Ascend to the Godly Tier, Mission Part One: Dominate the World! I Am the Legend!

Mission requirement: Defeat the three strongest figures in the world.

Current progress: 0/3.

Mission reward: Achievement Legend]

[Ascend to the Godly Tier, Mission Part Two: Transcendence, All Become Flames.

Mission requirement: Upgrade the world, with everyone possessing extraordinary power.

Quest reward: Achieve Ruler of the World, Ignite the Divine Flame, and Ascend to Demigod.]

[Ascend to the Godly Tier, Mission Part Three: Conquer the Realms, Devour the Origin.

Mission requirement: Conquer three small realms and assimilate them into a magical world

Quest reward: Immortal Body, ascend to the True God]

Arthur was so confused by the series of alert sounds that it took him a long time to regain his senses to himself.

Arthur had always thought that the System was useless.

It let him do a few tasks every day and let him draw cards, but it didn't serve any other important purpose.

But today, the silent System unexpectedly dropped such a bombshell.

The Ascend to the Godly Tier quest, The Path of the Archmage—Arthur's future was clearly planned out.

Do you think I, Arthur, am the kind of person who can be manipulated?

Well, yes, he is.

If there's such a good thing, please bring more of it.

...

"System? Are you there? Say something!"

Arthur hesitantly called out to the System.

After all, it had upgraded, and he wanted to see if its capabilities had improved.

"..."

Seeing the System's response, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, it was still that stupid System without any intelligence.

After a while, Arthur slowly recovered from his wandering thoughts and turned his attention to the specific details of the missions.

He decided not to look at The Path of the Archmage for now.

Although the reward of the Origin of All Magic seemed impressive, it was still too far away for Arthur. His main focus was on the Ascend to the Godly Tier series of missions.

The first stage of the quest made Arthur click his tongue.

Three current strongest, weren't they Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort?

With his current strength, he was no match for these three, or rather, unable to defeat them.

Grindelwald was also locked up by Dumbledore in Nurmengard Prison.

If he went to find him too quickly, the two old men might work together to beat him up.

Just thinking about that scene made Arthur shudder.

As for the second mission, Arthur was even more puzzled.

He scratched his chin and thought about what it meant for "everyone to possess extraordinary power."

Could it mean that everyone will become a wizard?

Thinking of a phrase Slytherin once said, "Blood may be honorable, but we are born extraordinary."

The more Arthur thought about it, the more he felt that his thought was correct. If that were the case, then this mission would be tough to complete.

According to the Ministry of Magic, there were about 250,000 (headcanon) wizards and other magical creatures like werewolves and vampires roaming around Europe.

They wouldn't be more than 500,000 in total.

And how many people were there in all of Europe?

Nearly 600 million.

Not to mention the other continents.

Thinking about all of this, Arthur's headache got worse. Becoming a god was not that easy. Even becoming a demigod was not that simple.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

So, Arthur decided to stop thinking and simply turned off the lights, going to sleep and resting.
