CHAPTER 55: CH 55 : SYSTEM ACCESS?

Sunny then called Thea and directly used 10 million faith points to generate a system panel for each and every demigod and sentient life form on Veridia.

Each would have their own personal network, but a selected few life forms could also connect with a more advanced network of demigods.

The system for the life forms was to be robust, with functions for chat, voice and video calls, games, and a status screen.

The demigods’ system, however, would have all the above functions, but with two more: a "Merits" tab and a "System Shop."

The "Merits" tab was a system of rewards for services given to Demigods.

It was a way to create a healthy competition among the demigods, to encourage them to strive for greatness.

The "System Shop" was a masterstroke. With the small distance between Veridia and the God space, Sunny could directly teleport anything within his territory to a demigod in Veridia for a small fee.

This system shop would further create competition, as demigods of the races would strive to earn merits to buy new items, further increasing their strength and capabilities.

This would not only benefit Sunny but would also rapidly accelerate the progression of Veridia.

In just a few minutes, everything was set.

Sunny talked to all the demigods, explaining the new system and asking them to share this information with their life forms.

The response was immediate and overwhelming.

Families whose some members were in the Realm of Advancement and others back on Veridia were now using the video call feature, their faces lighting up with joy and relief.

The chat function was filled with countless messages, a cacophony of greetings and expressions of wonder.

All this costed Sunny a few faith points every second, but it was still more than what was generated by the life forms.

After one hour, Sunny looked at his nine clones with his God’s eyes.

Three were diligently learning magic, three were practicing battle techniques, and the last three were the watchful eyes of Veridia.

He then shifted his gaze to Veridia itself, and two topics were the most prominent among the life forms.

"The Genesis" had become the holy book of Veridia.

It was shown to the high priests of both humans and elves, and from there, they began to promote it as a holy book, a sacred text that detailed the creation of their world.

This was all under Sunny’s expectations. But the second topic, the "Race Wars" game in the system, was not.

The game was designed by Thea upon witnessing the deep thoughts of the life forms in Veridia.

It was a clear sign that, even though all the life forms in Veridia were fighting against the foes together, infighting were inevitable.

And this infighting could be resolved in the race wars game.

Every race knew that life was the most important gift bestowed upon them by God Cosmos, and taking the life of other life forms would cause chaos in Veridia.

Upon all these considerations, Thea created this game, where she would fully scan the body and all the talents of a life form and thus create a digital avatar in the game.

This avatar would be controlled by the life form through their mind, like a 100% simulation virtual game.

There were individual fights available, and even whole race battles, where each one of

races would fight against the others.

There were battle royales among races and many other features.

Sunny decided to let it be, as this would increase their experience.

He even took it one step further and decided upon the ranking of the races in the "Race Wars" game, which further fueled the motivation for all the life forms.

Sunny then decided to go to one corner of his God space, where two prison cells suddenly appeared.

These prisons were specifically made to confine the demigods.

In these two cells, Aerion and Rina were confined. Without Sunny’s permission, they couldn’t even move a single muscle, and the mental connection with Kairos was also suspended due to these cells.

Sunny walked towards the cells, and he manifested a Divine Embryo.

His thoughts were clear today; he already had the idea for the shape, role, and name for this demigod.

The embryo manifested into a three-headed hound. In place of its tail, there was a snake. It had a gigantic body with bulging muscles. It was half the size of the Titans, which was enormous.

Its face and body both looked ferocious, which instilled deep fear in someone who looked at this menace.

Sunny then decided on its talents.

The first was "Guardian of the Netherworld," which creates a world inside this demigod that can keep a soul alive for eternity.

This sounds a lot like immortality of the soul, but this amazing talent had one great restriction: all the souls would always be tormented there.

This restriction worked as a new talent in its own right.

Sunny wanted this result from the start as he wanted to collect the souls of all the enemies and life forms of Veridia who committed heinous crimes.

These crimes would be judged by Thea. This netherworld would be a living hell for all the souls that were captured there.

The second talent was "Poison Master," which would give this demigod knowledge of the most potent poisons and allow him to further torment the souls using them.

The third talent was "Super Strength," (no need to elaborate, it is similar to Nova (but size matters))

The fourth talent was "Reaper of Souls," which allowed this demigod to take any soul from Veridia and capture it in the Netherworld.

All these talents cost just over 2 billion faith points, which was mostly due to the "Guardian of the Netherworld," as this talent directly created a realm inside the demigod, which in turn was very costly.

Then it came time to name this three-headed hound.

Sunny didn’t even think about it and directly said, "Cerberus."

Just then, as if listening to Sunny’s call, the eyes of Cerberus burned with fiery light, and he came to life.
