Samiel grinned, almost fainting from the sheet shock that he got an Ability Seed because they were very, very much rare, but from the principles of how the Akashic Records worked, he knew why he got such rewards.
Mainly because during the competition of this Quest, he pissed off a whole bunch of Transcendents that would stop at nothing to kill him as a form of vengeance.
One thing was some sort of faction-based hostility, but another one was vengeance, which some Transcendents would stop at nothing to achieve.
Especially some of the more narrow-minded gods; those were the worst kind. Samiel knew that the rewards were appropriate to the hardness of the Quest and the risk that he undertook.
He wondered what Ability he would be able to obtain from the Ability Seed, but he left that thing for a later date.
With this, only the Advancement Quest remained and in truth, Samiel already couldn't wait to get out from the 10th Floor and this dammed desert.
As he expected, Juulius, together with Dharzug, managed to breach the inner layers of the Cult of the Fallen Prince and were right now sieging their main fort.
Their fall was only a matter of time.
Probably because of that, Tower's System concluded that he completed the Unique Quest and getting the Ability Seed was far better than anything he expected out of this. So, now he could happily play a construction worker and start building the Divine Altar.
"Do you want to play with bricks?"
Samiel asked his Silvermoon princess cheekily as he started putting together various parts of the materials that he had prepared for the Divine Altar of the Great Dreamer, Azathoth...
"Maybe..."
Yvraine said unsurely because this wasn't the best activity that she wanted to do right now, especially since building Divine Altars wasn't something that she wanted to do.
Yet, in the end, she dutifully decided to help Samiel like a good wife and started putting bricks together.
All of them were from the previously destroyed Divine Altars of various Transcendents that they encountered. These were the most suitable to build a Divine Altar of the Outer Gods because they were from the Divine Altars of their enemies.
Together they were working relatively fast and within one hour, they had already built the basic skeletal structure of the Divine Altar.
The basic structure was done and now, Samiel was working on the details of the Divine Altar of the Outer Gods.
Mainly decorated with the sacred items of other Gods, Daemons and other Transcendents, these ones were used as sacrificial materials for the Outer Gods.
Because Samiel was building a proper Divine Altar for the Outer Gods for the first time, it was giving him some trouble.
Still, after the basic structure was done, the only thing that remained for him was the runic engravement of the R'Lyehian Eldritch Speech Runes. Soon enough, the entire Divine Altar of the Outer Gods was covered by the R'Lyehian Eldritch Speech Runes and only a finishing touch was lacking.
"And with this, it is done... now we are lacking the activation method."
Samiel muttered as he cut his wrist with an ice dagger and started dropping his blood over the Divine Altar.
When his blood came into contact with the Divine Altar, it lit in ominous purple-red light, pulsating with the waves of power as space cracked a little around the Divine Altar and Samiel felt the freezing cold power of the Void coming from the Divine Altar.
It was so powerful that Yvraine froze on the spot from being exposed to the Void; for many, it was a feeling that was absolutely disgusting and not many would get used to it.
It took several more seconds until the aura around the Divine Altar was stabilized and Samiuel soon enough received the notifications from the Akashic Records that he had completed the Advancement Quest.
[Advancement Quest: Build a Divine Altar dedicated to the Outer Court has been completed.]
[Advancement Quest: Build a Divine Altar dedicated to the Outer Court
Description: The 10th Floor of the Tower is suitable for building Altars dedicated to various Gods, Daemons, Devils and other Transcendents worshipped in the Material Plane of the Cosmos.
For countless millennia, various species have been building tens of not hundreds of Altars dedicated to the veneration of their Gods and carried out worshipping ceremonies on the 10th Floor of the Tower by sacrificing local Magical Beast to their Gods.]
[The Tower's System is calculating the reward for the Advancement Quest: Build a Divine Altar dedicated to the Outer Court.]
[Reward for the Advancement Quest: Build a Divine Altar dedicated to the Outer Court has been calculated.]
[User Samiel Zentaur has been awarded the pure Lesser Divine Shard.]
"Useful for the future."
Samiel muttered because the Lesser Divine Shard was indeed a thing that he couldn't use right now, aside from maybe trading it for other resources, but that would be foolish.
Though, the second he reached Legendary Level, he could absorb the Lesser Divine Shard to strengthen his Bloodline or use it during his transition to the Legendary status to obtain tremendous power.
Divine Shards were basically crystallized bits of Divine Power like Mana Crystals were just crystalized forms of Mana; Divine Shards were essentially the same thing. However, they were far more potent and powerful.
On the Material Plane, the Divine Shards were a scarce thing that couldn't be come across by normal means, and typically only Holies used them to purify their Mana to increase their strength, or Demigods used them to become closer to the Apotheosis.
Or he could use it to activate the Holy Apostle Class that was sealed, which would allow him to use the powers of Azathoth more flawlessly and for a longer time without and backslash.
Naturally, it was a good reward for his effort, much better than the past ones he got from the lesser Floors, but unfortunately, he couldn't really use it right now, so he put it away to the things that he had for the other times.
This wasn't the only thing that he had that he couldn't use; for example, one of his most prized possession was the Bloodline Crystal of unknown grade Transcendent Fallen Angel...
As Samiel pondered the rewards, he suddenly realized that reality around him was warped and twisted beyond degrees, driving the lesser people to madness.
He appeared to be floating in the emptiness of endless space, with only one colossal eyeball floating there, surrounded by countless tentacles spreading all around.
The eye looked at Samiel attentively, scrutinizing him from tips to toes.
[Well done, my Son.]
Samiel heard the distorted voice of his Patron God as he looked at the Outer God, one of 'Them' who ruled supreme across the Dimensions, not hindered by either Space or Time, unshackled by Fate and Eternal for all.
[Soon enough, another one would be starting... a few thousand years are remaining.]
