Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 558
[ You are using the Rune of Heracles. ]
[ The Rune of Heracles is being absorbed. ]
Two brief notification lines.
Soon, tremendous power began to leak out from the Rune of Heracles.
'It's coming!'
Something big is coming!
At that moment.
Shuaaa!
Along with the system notification, an enormous amount of energy began to surge into Su-ho's body.
'This is an SS-rank rune...!'
The power was incredible.
But was it because his player rank had risen?
Compared to before, it felt manageable.
Just as he was about to slowly accept the power of the Rune of Heracles like that—
[ Heracles descends. ]
All of a sudden, Heracles abruptly descended.
Hwaaa!
It seemed as though holy light was being cast down, and then, just like during his usual entrance effect, streaks of light were drawn through the air as Heracles revealed himself before Su-ho.
Having fully descended, Heracles smiled warmly and said to Su-ho,
- Haha! Have you been well?
Heracles greeted him cheerfully the moment he appeared.
He had a strange kind of charisma that somehow made people feel energized just by looking at him.
Su-ho also smiled as he welcomed him.
"Yes, it's really nice to see you again so soon."
- Heh heh, I knew you'd pull it off. But I didn't think you'd reach High Player this quickly.
"Haha, somehow it just turned out this way. I didn't know I'd make it this fast either. But what brings you all the way out here?"
- What do you mean, what brings me here? You used the rune I gave you, so I came in person.
"Huh?"
Wasn't the rune he gave him just a structure where he would simply obtain a skill or reward?
He hadn't expected him to personally come just because he used the rune.
When Su-ho put on an intrigued expression, Heracles added,
- To be exact, I came because you used the rune while it was in its SS-rank state. If you'd used it while it was in its S++-rank state, I wouldn't have come. No, to be exact, I couldn't have come.
What did that mean?
But it didn't take Su-ho very long to understand what he meant.
Su-ho beamed as he said,
"You became a Constellation!"
- Haha, that's right. Thanks to you becoming a High Player, I gained the qualifications to become a Constellation as well. So I chose the path of becoming a Constellation, and now I've become able to go in and out of other worlds too.
A sub-Constellation is only something like an indigenous god of that world, so it cannot get involved with other worlds.
But if one formally becomes a Constellation based on the method presented by the system, then from that point onward one can get involved with other worlds through stigmata.
That was why Heracles had been able to descend here in person.
- And while I was at it, I also came to do what I truly wanted to do.
"If by that you mean something you wanted to do...?"
- I gained the qualifications to bet as well.
"Ah!"
His goal was to use the betting system to make his sponsored player win the Independent Game and be reborn as a free player.
Since Su-ho knew that goal well too, he answered briskly,
"Then let's get started right away!"
- I like how straightforward you are!
Heracles immediately placed the bet.
[ Constellation Heracles wishes to place a bet on your victory in the Independent Game. ]
[ Will you accept Heracles's bet? ]
[ You may refuse the bet. ]
There was no notification saying that, unlike a Constellation who had originally been a player, the fate of the Constellation and the survival of the world he belonged to would be at stake.
So it felt much less burdensome.
Su-ho accepted his bet immediately.
[ You have accepted Heracles's bet. ]
[ You have become the first human to successfully receive bets from more than one Constellation. ]
[ You have accomplished a truly remarkable achievement that no player has ever achieved. ]
[ The system recognizes your noble achievements and gifts you 30 bonus stat points. ]
Oh?
Because he had previously received bonus stat points in relation to a Constellation's bet, he had thought he wouldn't be able to receive them this time.
But he was able to receive bonus stat points again this time as well.
The reason was that he had become the first human to receive bets from more than one Constellation.
Su-ho immediately checked his status window.
[ An Su-ho ]
That was the accumulated amount, including the 30 he had received upon obtaining Dominion Core.
But what stood out even more than that was the expanded betting list.
With a faint grin, Su-ho invested every bonus stat point he had gained into True Demon.
Before long, Heracles said with a refreshed expression,
- My fight, too, begins now.
He wanted to say, Isn't this basically a fight you're leaving entirely to me alone? but Su-ho did not say it.
"That's right. You placed a bet on me, so now we're tied together by fate. So please help me out a lot."
- Haha, what help could I possibly give? As you know, once a Constellation places a bet, they can hardly see their betting player until the Independent Game is over.
"We can at least be together in spirit. But then what exactly can I obtain from the rune you gave me, Lord Heracles?"
- Ah, look at me, what a lapse.
At Su-ho's question, Heracles lightly gestured with his hand.
Then two notifications rose before Su-ho's eyes.
[ Constellation Heracles grants you special power. ]
[ You have acquired Heracles Mode (SS). ]
[ You have acquired Godslayer (SS). ]
Su-ho's eyes widened when he saw the notifications.
He had expected to receive an SS-rank skill, but he hadn't expected there would be two of them.
Heracles said with a smile,
- To explain it simply, the former is a technique that lets you become as strong as I am for a short time, and the latter is, just as the name says, an ability that lets you kill gods. You know from experience, don't you? That gods normally can't be killed.
He knew.
Wasn't that why they had not killed the Olympian gods and instead shoved them into Tartarus?
But if Godslayer could make the impossible possible... at that moment, a good idea came to Su-ho's mind.
'Oh, this might actually...?'
