MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 868  Four Pillars: Loneliness

As Valyr heard the words Qroʼdovitch had said to the young Vaughn, confusion briefly appeared on his face as he went over all of the information he had collated so far.

Then, as if a switch had been flicked on in his head, the confusion on his face was soon turned into realization.

”Wait… you werenʼt at the Divine level before?” Looking at the man beside him, Valyr blurted out this question, only to realize his blunder soon after.

After all, the Divine level was a concept that only applied to those that had access to the system.

Aside from that, he had already seen Vaughnʼs strength firsthand back when he was fighting against the orcs at the final memory, which was at the extreme boundary between the peak of Rank 5 and the entry point of Rank 6 in power.

Knowing that Valyr had realized his own mistake from the expression he was making, Vaughn let out a faint chuckle as he paused the memory once more.

”I didnʼt have access to the system,” replied the man, softly shaking his head. ”How would I even enter the Myth level without it, much less the Divine level?”

”In any case, my lifespan was definitely longer than usual,” added Vaughn not long after, explaining how Veldanyrʼs technology had given them ability to rewrite their genetic code.

Unsurprisingly, with this newfound ability, many of the humans in Veldanyr had decided to rewrite their code to live for longer, giving them the opportunity to live for close to 300 years or more.

But of course, such an ability meant nothing after the two Arbiters had wreaked havoc against the entire civilization of Veldanyr.

Nevertheless, after confirming through Vaughnʼs words that Ryvrtheʼs small tidbit back then regarding Veldanyr society was true, a question soon popped up into Valyrʼs mind.

”I donʼt know how strong Arbiters really are when compared to someone that has a system, but by eternity, did they mean giving you the skill [Longevity]?”

”With how the system follows their every whim, Iʼd say theyʼre really strong even with the system in play.” Saying those words, Vaughn shook his head. ”Anyways, they did not give me [Longevity].”

”The higher variants of [Longevity], then? [Vast Longevity]? [Grand Longevity]?” asked Valyr after that.

”When they meant eternity, they really meant it.” Though surprised where Valyr had obtained his information on such skills, Vaughn pushed such thoughts to the side as he shook his head.

Hearing that the two Arbiters had not given Vaughn any of the [Longevity] skills, only one skill remained in the young manʼs mind.

”So… [Immortality].”

”[Immortality].” Vaughn nodded back, only to smile soon after. ”To be honest, I thought youʼd come to that conclusion first.”

”I did,” replied Valyr with a nod. ”But I just wanted to be sure.”

At those words, Vaughn faintly shrugged as he resumed the memory from where it left off.

”Eternity…” muttering one of the words Qroʼdovitch said to him, the young Vaughn looked at the two in a daze for a brief moment.

After all, from his perspective, such a deal seemed to only contain pure benefits for him.

Aside from the fact that he would obtain access to the system, he would also be able to live forever, which was a goal that he and many of the humans in Veldanyr had dreamed of achieving.

With that, there was a small trace of excitement deep within Vaughnʼs body as the Arbiters did their thing, giving Vaughn the ability to access the system, as well as the ʼcurseʼ of immortality.

Ding!

Hearing a bell chime go off in his mind all of a sudden, Vaughn was caught slightly off guard as a monotonous voice began to speak in his mind.

Not long after, a series of holographic screens appeared before his field of vision, only for him to sense not long after that the makeup of his body had subtly changed.

Though he could not put what exactly about his body had changed, when he looked at the two faintly smiling back at him, he had a feeling that it had something to do with the eternity thing they were talking about.

Seeing that Vaughn had successfully adopted the Apparatus without any problems, Baghʼrava and Qroʼdovitch looked at each other for a bit before nodding.

”It may be a shame that we werenʼt able to have an entire civilization adopt the Apparatus, but I guess the end result isnʼt all that bad.”

Saying these words, the two then raised their hands in the air before releasing a great amount of mana into the atmosphere not long after.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

For a brief moment, the entire sky throughout Veldanyr seemed to take on the same color as the mana the two released, giving the whole place an otherworldly feeling if one were to look from afar.

While that was happening, Vaughn looked at what the two were doing with confusion written all over his face, wondering why the two were releasing mana all of a sudden.

Roar!!!

As a cacophony of roars and similar sounds echoed throughout the entire planet as the mana disappeared, it was only then did the duoʼs actions click in his mind, prompting him to look at the two with disbelief.

”Thereʼs no fun in a planet where youʼre the only sentient being to exist.” Smiling at Vaughn, Baghʼrava opened his mouth to speak.

”I hope you donʼt mind us populating this place with ʼfriendsʼ that you could interact with in the future,” continued Qroʼdovitch where the first left off, letting out a bit of laughter soon after.

Hearing those words, Vaughn immediately stood up in anger, feeling his body return to peak condition after being given the ʼcurseʼ.

Though, just as he was about to charge towards the two and land a strike, the man felt his entire body freeze in place, only to see that Baghʼrava had shot out a ray of mana at him.

”Stay.” At this point, the smiles in the twoʼs expressions had been replaced with looks of contempt and disgust, seemingly revealing their true nature to Vaughn.

Glaring at the man for a bit, Baghʼrava and Qroʼdovitch eventually coated their entire bodies in mana before propelling themselves beyond Veldanyrʼs atmosphere.

Whoosh!

With his body frozen by the ray of mana, Vaughn was left without much choice, staring off in the direction where the two flew.

Fortunately, it was only after another minute or so did he regain control over his body, prompting him to let out a sigh of relief.

Looking around the surroundings that once housed over a couple billion people, Vaughn soon sat down on the ground once more, only to close his eyes as he slowly fell asleep.
