Chapter 377: The Undying Mythic Being
After sending a message to Hela, Eve focused her attention back on Boxed Lunch's team.
The five people had already resurrected on the World Tree and were automatically teleported to the square of Chosen City.
Eve checked their status through the game system network and found that, aside from complaining about the game plot being somewhat inexplicable or mocking this round of cutscenes as a bit perfunctory, their mental states were not affected.
This made Eve breathe a slight sigh of relief.
*Although after the Night Walker incident, she had added various protections on the game system network for player consciousness, it was still dangerous when facing the intrusion of an Evil God.*
Fortunately, she was well-prepared and very decisively cut off the consciousness connections of the few people, even proactively turned their bodies to ashes...
As for Boxed Lunch and the others, although the whole scenario felt inexplicable, they eventually heard some information from the conversation between Darkness and Azazel.
They discussed among themselves and began looking for the elusive Divine Favored Zero, intending to complete their report.
To this, Eve did not make it difficult for them.
She conveniently descended her avatar into the temple in Chosen City and informed them of her location through a system notification, accepting their report work...
Hmm, even though Eve already knew everything clearly from observing.
"I already know the matter, it's very likely that an Evil God is involved in the war in the Underworld. I will report this to the True God. You've done well."
Go all the way in when playing the role.
After listening to their report in the temple, "Divine Favored Zero" nodded slightly and settled the mission.
At the same time, Boxed Lunch and the others received a system notification for mission completion.
They each received 3000 contribution points, and a silver scroll-like item appeared in the bound item slot on their personal system panel, named "Advanced Job Change Slot (Reserved)."
Although the process was a bit strange, they did complete the task, and Eve naturally stuck to her word.
Speaking of which, the five of Boxed Lunch were already top players among the first beta players, and Eve had planned to grant them advanced job change slots anyway; the task this time just gave it a legitimate title.
In fact, as part of Eve's plan, high-ranking members of various major guilds, Li Mu, Dema, Little Xian Miao, Gu Gu Bird, and even Fried Tomato and Transforming Ji Gang were also planned to receive slots for advancement.
The reason being...
They are the high-end power among the players and the leaders of the player-formed management system. Naturally, the stronger they become, the better, as it contributes to the stability of the player system.
Of course, their contributions among the players are second to none, and their online time ranks among the top. This privilege is deserved.
In a sense, it's also somewhat predetermined.
The slots for silver are also considered an investment, and for Eve, it naturally prioritized the players who brought her the highest returns.
As for the advancement to silver slots, Eve planned to release them slowly through various tasks and rewards.
Of course, it was to be a minority.
Although not explicitly stated, Eve decided to issue at most 100 in the early stages.
This was determined based on current needs; any more would consume too much during resurrection.
As for the full opening of silver advancement, it depended on the recovery level of Magic Power in the Segis World and the strength of the enemies.
In the coming years, the biological strength in the Segis World was bound to expand rapidly. Previous silver professionals were already considered strong, but in the future, such strength would gradually become mid-tier.
Eve planned to progress gradually based on this change...
She intended to quickly enhance players' strength but not allow their abilities to lag behind, rather, to ensure players' overall power slightly surpassed the average strength of the world, maintaining a certain advantage.
This method not only prevented excessive consumption of her Divine Power but also avoided alerting other entities while having ample combat strength.
The saying "the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out" applies to any situation.
*Wasn't it because Magic Power revived and myths were resurfacing across the continent that Eve could sneak in unnoticed?*
*Rising slowly like boiling a frog in warm water, by the time others started taking Eve seriously, she would be ready to withstand any siege without fear...*
*Eve had long-term considerations in mind.*
As for the lucky players, they were just left with excitement:
"Haha, got the rewards!"
"This mission was quite simple, huh... just a bit bummed there's no follow-up plot."
"Maybe it hasn't been triggered yet."
"Advanced job change! I've never looked forward to a game update so much!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"Haha, gotta show off on the forum! Gotta do it!"
Boxed Lunch: "..."
The players who got the rewards were satisfied.
Meanwhile, Eve soon received a reply from Hela.
This Death God, tucked away in the Netherworld, replied much faster than she had imagined, making Eve suspect that her concern for this war was deeper than previously thought...
With thoughts swirling, Eve opened the Box of the Dead, and Hela's familiar voice rang out again in the High Temple:
"I already know the matter, Eve, thank you for your alert."
"Holder indeed has associations with some Evil Gods of the Underworld. As far as I know, they are the Plague Lord, Pain Queen, and Fallen Angel..."
"Among these three Evil Gods, the strongest is the Fallen Angel, who was once an assistant to the Eternal Lord. She possesses weak Divine Power, while the other two have meager Divine Power."
"Although these three Evil Gods are mythological entities, they each have their own enemies and can only hide underground..."
"However, Eve, you need not worry about these three making a move. They will be handled by me."
"The real concern remains Demon God Azazel."
"Though there were previous suspicions, I didn't expect Holder to be truly associating with Hell's Seven Lords. It seems... he has forgotten the glory of the True God of the Netherworld..."
"Eve, based on your description, it seems Holder intends to have Azazel deal with you. I know you have the power of [Absorption] and are interested in Azazel's power."
"Here, I need to remind you not to underestimate Azazel just because he retains only weak Divine Power. He is not easy to deal with."
"Eve, do you know why, thousands of years ago, when Azazel's True God came to the Segis World, several True Gods joined forces to deal with him and ultimately did not kill him, only sealing him?"
"It's because... Hell's Seven Demon Gods are beings that cannot be killed."
