Rudra was momentarily too stunned to even utter a single word , the current him was strong enough to even give some weaker god's he knew a run for their money, it was heights beyond what even he imagined himself to ever reach and this was his stats even before reaching tier 6 properly
If he managed to actually reach tier 6 and the subsequent boost gave him all stats ×1.5 or X2 multiplier, he would become as strong as Hades and if somehow Omega was generous enough to give him an X2.5 or X3 multiplier he might just become as strong as Micheal!
Gaia said " There is a great secret about the wider universe that i am not allowed to share with you at the moment, however if you successfully reach tier 6 then those restrictions would be lifted from over me and i will be able to converse candidly.
With just a little bit of information you can change the fate of humanity and although i understand your commitments to your household you must not throw this chance away. "
Rudra's mind was in a mess at the moment, he had powered Through the war with only one motivation in mind that this was going to be it. The last damn war and after this he was going to take time off.
But once again he found himself in a situation where he needed to work and taking no for an answer was not an option.
Glaring at Gaia with incredible hatred, Rudra spoke through gritted teeth " I am not inclined to answer to your request if you give me no information in advance. Gaia if you want me to stay and attempt the tier promotion the. You have one opportunity to make your case today.
Convince me with whatever information you can give me else I'm leaving this game here ".
Rudra did not want to even wait for Gaia's reasoning however he still gave the A.I. one last opportunity to make her case as Rudra listened with an open mind.
Gaia said " Okay , i will talk with you indirectly, try to answer the questions i ask without sarcasm and with a genuinely thought out attempt ".
Rudra nodded, he would give it a shot.
Gaia asked " You have been gauranteed a spot as the fifth commander of King Hades's army in the universal game Sigma, what do you understand from this reward? ".
This was a very good question, Rudra was already the first commander of Hades's army inside Omega however the reward made him the fifth commander of Hades's army in Sigma, this meant that Hades had an army in the wider universe too and the recruitment of that army valued Rudra's talents highly enough to give him a recommendation to reach tier 5.
However, such allotments could not be done without the diety in question being informed as no matter how Omega was functioned, to promise real world rewards it needed consent with the god in question.
Rudra answered " To give real world rewards, you or the universal queen must have talked with the actual god Hades, the one outside the tutorial and he must have promised the reward if i completed his test ".
Gaia said nothing but instead narrated a lore " Omega was created roughly 100,000 years ago after a pact between all major races was signed that newer planets with primitive species would be given a fair education before integrating them with the universe.
Over the years all the characters you see as NPC within the game have been individuals who have left some or the other form of impact in the game Omega.
Just like after your tutorial ends , the next time Omega is introduced to a species, they would have a ' True Elites Kingdom ' integrated into their world's lore with their king being the powerful Shakuni Of The Elites.
Your guildmates maybe your courtiers or maybe some mayor's of a city , with the lesser popular ones being normal citizens of your kingdom or some common royal army player.
The only god's in Omega upto this point are individuals who were god's before Omega ever started.
There is a god of death Hades in the wider universe , there are the Archangel's, the angels the demons , and the devil Lucifer too.
All these individuals and the named characters such as beast king Omar, Emperor Cervantez or even tier 4 characters such as prince Aman, Rahim or Patricia won knight have the privilege to view the future iterations of the game.
In reality, these individuals may have long surpassed the strength they showed in the tutorial and maybe enlisted by various factions that they were not a part of while playing Omega.
Their in-game character mostly remains the same across all iterations depending on how they played the game as a player.
For example although in your journey within Omega you became the commander/ pope of Hades's army and slayed Lucifer, the only lore about you within the next iteration of Omega would be that you are a follower of the church of light and a king friendly to the nation of hazelgroove.
Also, the won knight family that you are a part of is actually a real and influential family in the wide universe with Patricia Won Knight being the current family head and BZZZZZZZ ".
And electronic current buzzed Gaia hard and caused her a lot of pain.
" Ouch " Gaia looked towards the skies as it was her first warning from the universal queen apparently she had revealed too much in her last sentence and it was her first strike.
This gave Rudra a lot of perspective into how Omega was created and how various iterations a.k.a versions of the game came to be.
Maybe in a past version of the game there was no King Cervantez of hazelgroove or No Lizardmen king , and they would have been added only after their characters achieved significant milestones in the game.
The version he was currently playing did not have a True Elite kingdom or himself as the king, however future versions would include both.
He assumed that the game would be reset with Lucifer still being alive and kicking in the next iteration and maybe even the blood merchants would be around.
However if the god's and some important characters could view his progress in Omega as he played it , it would mean that Patricia, Cervantez, Hades, Beniogre, Lucifer, Sariel would all know about their present and past interactions putting a huge chip on his shoulder when the tutorial ended.
With the amount of hate that Lucifer seemed to accumulate for him towards the end, Rudra had no doubt that the dark forces and characters such as scar-face, Lucifer or even prince Aman if he was alive in the universe , would come to settle their grudges and debts.
Without even entering the wide universe Rudra already had tonnes of friends and enemies.
Gaia continued " Omega is a great test of one's moral character, although one could get away with tricking and winning in Omega over a named opponent with the individual in question thinking that their deeds were in the past and that an NPC 's death was permanent, it was not actually the case.
Most humans don't know this but the named characters can see the game's progress and how their characters perform in the game, which gives them a perspective on their chosen one's character and moral strength.
This means that your feats are already very popular and a huge talking point in the wide universe.
Wrong a named character and they are known to hold a grudge for an eternity."
Rudra sighed , this did it , just when he thought he had gotten rid of the devil for good, it seemed like that was not the case.
Gaia continued " The only reason why i am able to tell you this now is because you have became an important named character inside Omega and will have the same privilege's to monitor your character in the future.
Similiarly there are a lot of secrets that i can only tell you if you reach tier 6 and you only have 7 days to do so before the merit days end.
Reach tier 6 .... And i promise you it will be worth it in the end ".
Gaia made her case and Rudra felt compelled to atleast try to reach tier 6 now.
There were too many secrets that could not be left to chance if he could help it. He needed to atleast try his best to reach tier6 because there was the fate of humanity that hung in balance.
" Shit , shit , shit , shit , shit!!!!!!!!!!!" Rudra cursed out loud.
He had promised Naomi to return home 30 days before the first awakening and having ended the war earlier than expected he did have 7 days to spare.
Rudra said " I will give a quick kiss to my wife and inform her i will be back in 7 days time.
After 7 days if I'm tier 6 all good , if I'm not i quit eitherway.
I will keep my promise to my wife no matter what Gaia , so when i log back-in and the information you have to share with me is as important as you say it is , you better give me a nice guidance to clear that promotion test ".
Rudra was rushing to log-off however Gaia's voice interrupted him.
" Wait , before you leave check your inbox it contains a list of some other important rewards you have earnt, just scroll it on your mobile when you are in reality so that you know what all you have got ". Gaia said in a hurry as Rudra nodded towards her before logging off.
