Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 420

Chapter 420: The System Rewards
Due to the User’s efforts in defeating the Elder Eldritch [Carnage Octopus], the user has gained a new Artifact: [Fangs That Link the Heavens – EPIC].

[Fangs That Link The Heavens: This is an ancient artifact, manifesting as an ethereal, unbreakable chain, capable of lashing out to strike or bind enemies using lightning-based attacks. The fangs were created by the god of the forge, Hephaestus, for his father, Zeus, as a sign of filial love. But after a family quarrel that led to Hephaestus being cast out from Olympus, he held onto the chain, refusing to hand it over to his father. The chain was kept in a secure dimension on the other side of the universe, but Sozin broke through Hephaestus’ dimensional gate and stole the fangs for himself. The fangs manifest themselves as links of god metal that are only visible to the user as well as other children of Hephaestus. Although Hephaestus has now found out about the theft carried out by Sozin, Hephaestus has decided not to do anything about it since he has not had a use for the fangs for a very long time.]

[Effects of Fangs That Link The Heavens]:

– All lightning-based skills receive a 40% Boost.

– Continuous Growth: The Fangs grow alongside the user, manifesting more of their power as the user becomes stronger.

– Godlike Charisma: Due to its invisible nature, the fangs provide a boost in charisma to the user and inflict fear upon enemies. All fear-based skills receive a 20% boost. All allies that follow the user reverently gain a 20% boost in their abilities.

…

[The god of lightning and the heavens, Zeus, glares down at the user in anger as he contemplates killing the user for the chains.]

[The god of the forge, Hephaestus, is demanding payment for the chain from the user’s patron god, Sozin.]

[Sozin laughs and runs away from the gods once more.]

…

Mark almost deadpanned at his patron god’s reaction to the anger of the other gods. Those were dimension-hopping, world-destroying beings, and Sozin was treating them like old men and women that he could just play with any time he wanted. Mark knew that with the way things were going, he was definitely going to have a problem with one of the gods eventually, but Mark decided that he didn’t care. Mark was Sozin’s child, so no matter what the gods sent after him, Sozin would be there to intercept it until Mark was ready to handle things on his own.

‘And even if Sozin wasn’t there, I’d still be able to handle some of the minor gods. It’s the bigger ones that pose a real problem. They are too strong, so I won’t be able to put up a fight before they just crush me. I need to get stronger faster.’

Mark turned back to his system once he looked at the rewards again. The Fangs that Link the Heavens. That was an awesome name, and Mark couldn’t believe how useful it was. Just from the description alone, Mark could already think of more than ten different ways to use the chains! A weapon like this would help Mark a lot when he was facing off against multiple weaker opponents like the calamities from before. Mark called out the Fangs, and he saw a long blue chain shoot out from the ground! The chain was made from the purest silver, and it had an ethereal appearance with a blue hue covering its entire body.

‘So this is god metal?’

Every other second, a charge of lightning would shoot across the chain link, telling Mark that it was highly electric! Mark reached out his hand and summoned the chain to him with a thought, and the chain snaked around before approaching Mark’s gloved hand gently. Just one of the chain links was large enough to cover Mark’s hand. Mark grinned when he felt more of the chain just waiting for his instructions to appear. There was only one chain, but it was exceptionally long.

Mark could feel his excitement shooting through the roof, and he was already desperate to try out the chain, but he decided to hold himself back. He would have time for that later.

Mark sent the chain back, and it vanished into blue dust before Mark turned back to his system.

…

[The User has gained a new title: Child of the Rogue God]

[Child of the Rogue God: The User’s patron god has made enemies with more than 50% of the mythological gods. This is a feat never done before by any of the gods. The User shall receive a 10% boost to all stats when fighting against any god or a direct descendant of a mythological god. If the user ever enters a contract with an enemy of his patron god, the user shall receive a 50% reduction in all stats.]

…

The User made significant contributions to the subjugation of the Elder Eldritch [Aqua Shark]. Due to the user’s efforts, the user has gained a new skill: [Healing Aura].

[Healing Aura: This skill envelops the user in a soothing, radiant energy, converting the user’s mana into restorative power that gradually heals wounds and rejuvenates the user’s vitality. At higher levels, the user will be capable of using the skill to heal allies in the immediate vicinity.]

Current Rank: F Rank [0/100]

[Effects Due To Current Rank]:

– Mana Consumption To Heal Injuries Inflicted On The User: 100MP/sec

– Mana Consumption To Heal Injuries Inflicted On The User’s Allies: [Not Yet Available Due To Low Level]

– Radius of Effect: 0 Meters

…

Mark hummed curiously as he saw the new skill he got. That was actually very useful. Mark knew that he had a very high healing factor already. Even if he got a very serious injury that would normally take months for a normal person to heal, Mark could heal from it in just a few days, and he would be fine. But that was not enough as far as Mark was concerned. Having to heal injuries like that meant that Mark would have to fight with those injuries if he was ever in the middle of battle when he got them.

But now that there was a skill for healing, Mark could get rid of the more serious injuries using his mana and just leave the injuries that didn’t need to be healed at that moment for his body to deal with on its own. The only downside was the fact that it was so fucking inefficient! Taking a hundred mana points per second for healing injuries was insane! That was half of what the Aegis of Ares took for activation, and Mark already knew that these two skills were going to piss him off like crazy if he didn’t increase his mana capacity as soon as possible!

With the way things were going, Mark might have to make his mana even higher than his strength just to be able to keep up with the demands of these skills. Mark’s strength was already really high, so even if he made his mana higher than his strength, it wouldn’t affect his fighting style too much. In fact, it would only make him stronger since it would help to improve his mana circulation skills as well.

Mark thought that this was the end of the rewards from the system, but he was shocked when another notification tab suddenly popped up in front of him.

…

The User has contributed significantly in ensuring there were minimal casualties in the anima attacks. The system has calculated the user’s contribution and converted them into points. The points gained are displayed below.

+5000 Skill points

+5000 Stat points.

…

Damn!

Mark was stunned by the final reward he got from the system! Mark didn’t think that he would be getting points on top of all the skills and artifacts that he had! Did he get the points because there was no points system stated at the start of the battle against the Elder Eldritch? The system only said that it would calculate Mark’s contributions at the end, so Mark was sure that this was the reason why he got these many points.

Mark immediately opened up his system tab, and he was about to start putting points in the various skills and stats that he got. The one stat that Mark was going to increase a lot was Mana. He would have to add at least a thousand points to that one. But that does not mean that Mark was going to neglect any of the other stats either.

Mark learned his lesson in this recent fight that he just finished.
