[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

Chapter 524: Chapter 524 – Advancing of age.

<<A week has went by after the tournament has ended.>>

<<And well? There were some changes.>>

<<Obvious one was attention.>>

<<Many people are paying attention to the players that had managed to get to the finals.>>

<<The fights at the last phase were... Flashy, to say the least.>>

<<And overwhelming.>>

<<People saw the strength of the "strongest".>>

<<They saw the total destruction that was caused whenever at least two of these strongest players fought each other.>>

<<They saw the "difference" in league.>>

<<This tournament was straight up a waking call for many people, to realize that if they don’t catch up soon, they will be always left behind.>>

<<There were also several highlights.>>

<<One.>>

<<Arthur.>>

<<The warrior of the sun, who took down the giants and those who hid in the dark, annihilating them with his sun fire.>>

<<Two.>>

<<Powin.>>

<<The number 1 ranker in the game and she shown everybody why, as she straight up destroyed everybody that even crossed her, even the number 2, who she took down without using that black transformation.>>

<<Even when she was exhausted, she was still able to put up some fight when fighting me.>>

<<Third.>>

<<Me – Phantasia.>>

<<Honestly, I think I caused most reaction.... Just as I’ve wanted.>>

<<I’ve straight up rotted everything that was near me, while the army of monsters fallowed behind me.>>

<<I’ve destroyed player after player that had fought me.>>

<<I’ve even straight up destroyed Magnus, one of the players that are consider as the strongest mages in the game.>>

<<That bastard that once "played" with me and Arthur, I’ve had destroyed him with ease with my own two hands.>>

<<I’ve also destroyed this "hero" named Arthur as well.>>

<<Simple put, people are calling me cringe name like a freaking "demon lord" now.... Because... Well, I’ve kind of acted like one?>>

<<Either way, many people now "SEE ME" and fear me.>>

<<Which is something what I wanted.>>

<<The same goes for Thanatos and Maparapara.>>

<<They made way weaker impact than me, but they still took down several strong bastards without receiving any help from me, which straight up proves to the people how strong they are, even without me.>>

<<...>>

<<And there is fourth.>>

<<Apple.>>

<<This random ass bastard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.>>

<<A chain user who destroyed both rankers and non-registered rankers.>>

<<A monster that even caused Diamond to have hard time.>>

<<And that wasn’t some old Diamond.>>

<<No.>>

<<He had divinity.>>

<<From what I saw, it seems Diamond’s divinity is related to blood.>>

<<Or to be more exactly, that weird gem like blood.>>

<<I saw him use some of the regular blood type classes that the vampire faction is selling....>>

<<But there was also that gem-like blood.>>

<<I’ve talked about it with "Kid".>>

"..."

"A gem like blood? A divinity of the elder god?" – asked ’Kid’ as Phantasia paid him a visit in his castle.

"Yeb. That guy. Diamond. One of the more well-known adventurers from the organization faction." – said Phantasia.

"I suspect him to be using the divinity of the elder god."

"A one that he obtained from that desert I’ve told you about."

"And there is another one that also shown up."

"...A third confirmed user?" – asked ’Kid’.

"Yeah... He didn’t really tried hiding it." – replied Phantasia.

"An adventurer by the name of Apple."

"And his divinity of the elder god is tied to the chains."

"Don’t know him."

"But he is dangerous."

"However, most important."

"Where does he stands?"

"That is the question, which we also don’t have any answer for."

"..."

"I don’t know anything.... But by the looks of things, I will have to look into it." – said ’Kid’.

"Please do. I can also look into it, but there is limit of what I can even do... Since you know, I have way too many eyes on me." – said Phantasia before getting up from his seat and then saying his goodbyes, as he then left the room.

(Third divinity of the elder god already appearing?) – thought ’Kid’.

(This is too quick.)

(...No.... It may not be really third one.)

(There could be already several out there.)

(According to the documents, the number of the Elder Gods wasn’t small... But instead, somewhat large.)

(And if there is divinity left behind, which is tied to every single one of these gods....Then this is truly a problem.)

<<Stupid.>>

<<I know, I know.>>

<<Talking about this with "Kid" seems somewhat stupid.... But for my plans to proceed further, I need him to know about that divine power making its grand reappearance.>>

<<But honestly speaking? These trio of bastards will reveal it on their own sooner or later.>>

<<Why?>>

<<It is simple.>>

<<{Faith}.>>

<<The extra stat that is only tied to two things in this game.>>

<<The gods.>>

<<And the nations that worship them.>>

<<Considering how they were "showing off", there is no doubt about it.>>

<<They have the {{faith}} stat.>>

<<And they will use it to grow stronger, to form their own "religious groups", with the divinity users at the center.>>

<<And how churches grow stronger from the "gifts" from their gods, so would the believers of these "new gods" would also benefit.>>

<<We already saw this, since Arthur willingly showed it off.>>

<<Mara.>>

<<The second strongest player in his entire guild.>>

<<And one of the strongest priest players in the game, who isn’t tied to either heaven or hell, Morina.>>

<<Both of these gals used the divine power of that sun.>>

<<That straight up confirms it.>>

<<He truly has the {{faith}} stat, and he can truly give the power to his "fallowers".>>

<<And, the other two will also try to do the same.>>

<<Diamond already has somewhat large guild, but I think he will turn it into the religious group in order to spread his "blessings" around.>>

<<And as for Apple?>>

<<Bastard shown himself.>>

<<The Coin Toss.>>

<<A brand new guild that suddenly appeared, with you guessed it.>>

<<Apple as the guild master.>>

<<He is already making his move.>>

"Isn’t this bad then?" – asked Thanatos, as the trio were having a meeting in Phantasia’s private workshop.

"She is right." – said Maparapara.

"If what you are saying about the divine users being a problem right now, then the only way to counter them would to be either eliminating them OR obtaining our own divinity."

"Yes. That is true." – said Phantasia calmly as he continued working.

"But here is a real question."

"How the hell do we find it?"

"Let me remind you, we are probably not the only ones who realized the truth."

"And probably, the NPCs from all the factions must had realized the truth as well."

"It is free for all."

"And now buying any information regarding to this, could be pretty much fake, no matter what."

"Not only that, did you forgotten about me?"

"Too many people are looking directly at me."

"At the best, you two can move completely unrestricted."

(Honestly, it would be perfect if I could secure at least 1 elder god divinity for out group.) – thought Phantasia as he was assembling a gun like device, before then fusing it with a mechanical humanoid arm.

(...My plan never involved this stuff in the first place....)

(...But now?)

(Honestly speaking, with the appearance of the elder gods’ divinities getting thrown into the mix, my plans are getting somewhat tangled and disturbed.)

(The only way to deal with this would be to obtain divinity.)

(But again, where in the blood hell we would obtain it?)

(From what we had gathered, it seems that the divinity that Arthur had obtained was originally located in the empire, in the underground temple that straight up was buried right underneath their noses.)

(The second temple, where Diamond gotten his, it was also underground, but opened up under specific conditions according to the information that I’ve had bought from that person.)

(They are hidden.)

(That is the main clue we have.)

(But they are also well hidden and in unexpected locations.)

"..."

"The most obvious way would be to look through the old records and legends of the Elder Gods." – said Phantasia as he stopped working.

"But I’ve checked this already."

"Almost all of the records regarding the Elder Gods were either scattered or destroyed by the invaders and their fallows."

"Then again, if they did had some good info, they would had already gotten their hands on those divinities, meaning that we are still at the same starting line."

"..."

"So that means, we should give up?" – asked Thanatos.

"Well.... No... But at the same time yes." – replied Phantasia.

"If we had even a single clue, we could at least obtain ability to ’move’.... But now?"

"We can just fucking dig everywhere for months, and it will just turn out that there was nothing in the first place, where we had searched."

"Not only that, you saw Diamond."

"His divinity was related to the blood, which somewhat sucked for him, since he didn’t had any solid blood related class build."

"Still, there are 3 of us, with each of specializing in different things." – said Thanatos.

"So even if one divinity doesn’t fit us, the other two could-"

"And how can we even check it? And how do we know that a single person can only have single divinity?" – asked Maparapra.

"It doesn’t really matter, does it?" – replied Phantasia.

"All it matters that we obtain a divinity. No matter what it is."

(But again.) – thought Thanatos.

(Where the hell we can even obtain it?)

(...)

(Or more exactly, where we can look for something or somebody that have any solid information about the elder gods?)
