'Ding,
Master, the Talent Swallowing System is at your service.
It didn't take much time for the three system fragments to merge into a full ring as it entered Leo's body before he got the first system notification after entering this world.
'Finally….I got it.'
Even though it was a real version of the system and only a mini-system, Leo was happy to have it.
Before coming to this world, Leo learned from the system that he could use some of the system's abilities and functions.
Moreover, with the system, he could make full use of his talent [Quasi Divine Talent] as he doesn't have to check the information in his head every time he needs something.
With a thought, the system could retrieve that information for him and display it in front of him.
'System, it's good to have you in this world.'
Leo silently spoke to the system in his head.
'Ding,
The system will try its best to help the Master complete his [Ascending Mission].
'Ding,
Please select one of the following Features:
1) Mission Generator: Every now and then, the system will generate some missions for the Master to complete and upon completion, he will be rewarded accordingly.
2) Infinite Inventory: The master can store all non-living things in it without any limit.
3) Thoughts of Gods: The master can listen to the thoughts of the Gods that are watching the world he stays in.
'Ding,
Please select one of the following Abilities:
1) Talent Swallowing Ability: The master can swallow the talents of the beast tamers he killed with a cooldown of one year.
2) Bloodline Swallowing Ability: The master can swallow the bloodlines of the beasts he killed with a cooldown of one year.
Note: In this world, Beast Tamers can't awaken any bloodlines but with this ability, the master can swallow the beast bloodlines and make it his own.
3) Talent Blessing Ability: The master can bless the talents of the other beast tamers with a cooldown of one year.
Note: The cooldowns for these abilities will be reset using God Stones or God Energy.
'Ding,
Other than the selected system feature and system ability, the master will have an Appraisal Service and User Interface.
'Ding,
The master can check his information in the User Interface just by calling its names.
'Ding,
As for the Appraisal Service, the master just needs to focus on something that he wants to know and the system will display all the available information in its database.
Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his head while the 'Ding' notification continuously rang in his head.
'How I missed these system notifications for the past 15 years!'
The sound of the system notifications was very pleasant to his ears as Leo revealed a slight smile on his face.
"Everyone, stay on guard."
Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry to check those notifications as he ordered all his beasts to stay on guard.
Even though the Crimson Blood Dragon was not in the cave, it might come at any moment.
Moreover, since they were in the depths of the Blood Valley, there were many powerful beasts and Leo didn't want to get killed by any of those beasts just because of his moment of carelessness.
Hence, he first ordered his beasts to stay on guard before checking out the system notifications one by one at his place.
'I have to select a system feature and system ability from the three options it gave me.'
Since it was a mini version of the original system, Leo already knew that he wouldn't get all the system abilities and the system features.
Nevertheless, he didn't expect that he could only get one feature and ability each.
'Anyway, compared to the randomly assigned system ability and feature, choosing from three options was much better.'
When he thought about it, Leo felt it was not bad; however, he was not in a hurry to choose yet as he still had a few more system notifications left to check.
'Hm…I got two default system features that I am looking forward to.'
Finally, after learning that the mini version of the system already unlocked two system basic features, Leo nodded his head in satisfaction.
Even though those two features were the basic system features, they were quite useful and in fact, he was looking for those features.
'Thanks to the [Quasi Divine Knowledge], I have collected a lot of information during the last seven years and with [Appraisal Service], I have all that knowledge at the back of my hand.'
Leo smiled and thought, 'Anyway, it is time to select the system feature and system ability.'
Soon, Leo focused on the holographic screens that displayed the options for him to select a system feature and a system ability.
'Talent Swallowing Ability, Bloodline Swallowing Ability, and Talent Blessing Ability.'
First, Leo focused on the three abilities available to him.
'Without the Talent Swallowing Ability, I will only have two talents in my entire life unless [Heaven's Voice] bestows me another talent. However, the chances of that happening are very less.'
Leo didn't have to think much as he directly eliminated the [Talent Blessing Ability] from the list and looked at the two abilities.
'These two abilities are useful but I feel that [Bloodline Swallowing Ability] might be more useful for me than the [Talent Swallowing Ability].'
Compared to the talents of the Beast Tamers, the bloodlines that Leo saw in this world were more powerful.
'Just one bloodline could allow the beast to temporarily upgrade its strength by one major grade and if I can also do that, I will become invincible after reaching the Diamond Grade.'
After seeing the information of the three bloodlines that his purple-grade beasts have awakened, Leo also wanted such bloodlines; however, beast tamers could not awaken any bloodlines in this world.
Of course, the system already informed him that he could ignore that rule with his [Bloodline Swallowing Ability].
'But…with more talents, I can unlock more Tamer Spaces in my body and with more Tamer Spaces, I can contract more beasts.'
Suddenly, Leo thought of something that made his head filled with excitement, 'If I add the effect [Speical Beast Tamer] under the title [Evolution Master], then I will become invincible, right?'
With the ability to contract more beasts, not only Leo could awaken more contracted skills, but his chances of triggered [Symbiotic Empowerment] would increase too.
'Even without the [Symbiotic Empowerment], the minimal increase of his strength for each breakthrough my contracted beasts have, I will become indestructible.'
After thinking for quite some time, Leo decided to select the [Talent Swallowing Ability].
Of course, if Leo didn't receive the second talent from [Heaven's Voice] and unlocked a second Tamer's Space, he might have selected the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability].
'Moreover, so far, I encountered thousands of Gold Grade Beasts and dozens of Purple Grade beasts and used his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to check their information but I have never seen a single beast with a bloodline.'
Of course, there might be some beasts that have missed his radar and awakened the bloodlines; however, they were weak bloodlines that Leo won't even bother to swallow even if he had the [Bloodline Swallowing Ability].
Hence, Leo felt that selecting the [Talent Swallowing Ability] was the right choice.
'Ding,
The master has selected the [Talent Swallowing Ability]. From now on, the master can swallow the talents of the enemies he killed.
'Even though the [Talent Swallowing Ability] is at its basic level, it's enough for this world.'
When he first got this system ability in the past, he had to wait for an entire year before swallowing the next talent; however, he could reset the cooldown with his God Energy now.
'As for the system features….'
After selecting the system ability, Leo focused on the second display screen with three options for the system features.
'Infinite Inventory is useless as I already have my Space Moon Hound with an entire world space inside it.'
Also, Leo has storage bracelets and a dozen storage rings with him. Hence, he didn't have to think much about eliminating it.
'[Mission Generator] is good as I can get some good rewards; however, I no longer have any need for those rewards in this world.'
With his current strength and his army of beasts, there were not many places that he could not enter.
Moreover, he could easily increase his and the beasts' strength by killing the other Beast Tamers and beasts.
As for the evolution materials, he could collect them from the wilderness with the help of his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] or he will just enter the [Beast Sanctuaries] in this world.
'Therefore, [Mission Generator] is not useful to me whereas the [Thoughts of Gods] will be very useful.'
Leo didn't know whether other gods were watching his world but he was sure about one god who would be watching this world and it was none other than the Beast Tamer God.
Since his [Ascending Mission] is related to going against the Beast Tamer God's Temples, Leo wanted to keep an eye on what the Beast Tamer God thinks and orders his so-called apostles in this world.
In short, it would be quite helpful for Leo to counter the steps that the Beast Tamer God's Temples made against him when he truly started his mission.
'Once I start going against the Beast Tamer God's Temples, he will start making things difficult for me but with this system feature, things will always go in my favour.'
With an evil chuckle, Leo selected the option and soon, unlocked it.
'Now, it's time to check my [User Interface].'
