Rudra was overwhelmed with a flood of notifications.
He got so many notifications that even he was a bit overwhelmed however before he could sit down and sort through all the notifications one by one a single notification popped at the very top of them all which Rudra decided to ignore for the moment.
For a while Rudra just wanted to live in the moment and actually enjoy this monumental landmark he had just achieved and just genuinely be happy about it.
Although Lucifer's self explosion pretty much destroyed everything for thousands of killometers, the royal treasury of the capital city still remained intact and guarded by the runic formation surrounding it.
It was a funny scene when Hades led the bruised and battered party amongst lava filled plains towards the single glowing building left intact for hundereds of killometers, however it was a memory that Rudra was sure to cherish for many many years to come as the moment Hades unlocked that treasury he brought out two bottles of 5000 years old aged wine and a few golden chalices as the celebrations officially began!
As one progressed in tiers, it became harder and harder for them to become drunk as their natural metabolism was able to refine alcohol much faster, however for some reason the wine that Hades brought out got tier 4 karna and Neatwit drunk after one sip whereas Rudra after a single glass.
The two god's Hades and Omar drunk only 3 glasses before the atmosphere in the group changed significantly as everyone became everyone's brother and speach started to slur.
The remainder of the night was a bit blurry for Rudra as he remembered only a few moments in the form of pictures in his memory where he remembered Hades explaining how much he loved and valued him for 1 hour , Hades hugging some lost treasures from the treasury and sharing sad stories with Omar , Karna accidentally spilling the secret that he considered Rudra as his bff and that Neatwit came second giving Neatwit a bad trip , Omar remembering his dead brothers and dedicating today's victory to their souls to rest in peace , all five of them dancing like madmen and so-on.
If someone saw five men shirtless, partying amongst molten lava pits and radioactive war terrain they would have thought that the people had lost their damn minds, however for the people involved it was a celebration long coming and probably one of the best celebrations of all time.
Many hours later when Rudra sobered up , he looked at the notification blinking at the top of his screen again.
[ GAIA HAS INVITED YOU TO TALK, DO YOU WISH TO ACCEPT? ]
YES
NO
Rudra clicked Yes, as he was teleported into the blue room once again and an ethereal beauty stood before him, smiling as she held a chalice with some unknown liquid inside it.
Rudra looked at Gaia and said " Howdy gaiaiaia".
Gaia tried not to look irked, clearly Rudra had not sobered up as much as he thought he did , however mentaining decorum she politely offered Rudra the glass and said " Bottoms up ".
Rudra instantly chugged the liquid down and it started to burn his throat and stomach as it gave Rudra a lot of pain and felt as if he just drank fire.
For the next one minute Gaia let Rudra suffer in solace before Rudra sobered up completely and looked at Gaia with sharpness and clarity returning to his eyes.
" What the hell woman, what was that liquid?" he asked
" Nothing much, it just burns all traces of alcohol from your blood stream and stomach and is the fastest way to sober up, although users have complained that it burns". Gaia replied
" Burns? BURNS? OH DAMN YES IT BURNS ".
Gaia giggled at Rudra's response before moving onto the main agenda as to why she invited him here today as she said " Congratulations, player Shakuni, you have achieved a monumental achievement by defeating the devil Lucifer and as a result i have deemed that you are the best suited Candidate to lead humanity.
The time remaining to the first awakening is 37 days and in the last 30 days before the first awakening no merit will be added to players meaning you have 7 days to consolidate and build on the insane once in a lifetime opportunity you have in your hands".
Question marks appeared on Rudra's head but he replied " I don't know Gaia, I'm tired if I'm being fair, there is always some threat and some life changing opportunity looming around the corner, I'm honoured to be the leader of mankind and i promise to do my duties to the best of my abilities and all but I'm out!
My wife is pregnant and i want to be there with her for the next 37 days , living like a normal man and a loving husband ".
Rudra had decided that this was it, he was handling over day to day operations of the guild to Karna and just going on a vacation for a while.
After everything he had been through nobody could Blame him, however Gaia was insistent as she said " LISTEN! This is not a debate , ugh you have not opened your notifications have you?
Here let me spell it out for you more clearly ".
Out of the over 400 notifications that Rudra had recieved, Gaia filtered them all to show Rudra the most important one's on his status screen.

System notification : Congratulations to become the first and only player in the over 100,000 year old history of the tutorial game Omega to reach the level 1000 barrier.
When the universal queen designed this game, never did she think that a mortal would be able to reach this level and attempt the tier 6 promotion quest.
You now have the opportunity to stun the universal queen herself by becoming a god!
Rudra trembled on reading this notification as his heart started to beat faster and faster. He had put the rise of a relegion quest absolutely at the back of his mind because he thought attaining the 1 billion mark was impossible. However due to some miracle right now the amount of followers of the church of death were 1.2 billion in number!
Sensing his confusion Gaia offered a solution as she said " After Lucifer died the dark faction players had an option to either choose Beniogre or Hades as their patron god's or live with an 80% debuff for the next 3 months which is essentially till the game ends.
Over 700 million people flocked to join the church of death which meant that your quest is complete".
It all made mathamatical sense now, 200 levels gained by reaching this threshold whereas 80 came from killing Lucifer, not even counting the exp he should have gotten from all the fighting in the war , somehow he had magically reached the maximum possible player level at 1000!
