Chapter 1887: Choice

[Emery Ambrose: 2,921 points]

[Artifacts] [Wisdom] [Resources] [Lifeforms]

As Emery stood amidst the celestial panels, faced with a plethora of intriguing options, he realized the extent of his unfamiliarity with half of the items listed. The sheer variety left him in a state of bewilderment. Sensing the gaze of the celestial giant still fixed upon him, a touch of awkwardness crept into the air.

"Actually, do you have anyone who could help me with this?" Emery inquired, breaking the uneasy silence that lingered. The celestial giant remained wordless, but in response, a radiant light emanated from the ground, coalescing into the form of a humanoid figure. The being that materialized was a strikingly beautiful entity, with short ash-white hair, adorned in light gold attire, and wings gracing her back.

"I am a Virtual Intelligence Assistant. I am here to help," the artificial lifeform spoke, her voice resonating with a soothing quality. Though not a tangible being, she emanated an aura of knowledge and understanding. Intriguingly, it appeared that this virtual entity possessed a wealth of information about Emery.

The Virtual Intelligence Assistant, offered a strategic recommendation. Given the need to fortify his newly acquired base on Earth's moon, she suggested a defensive structure that could serve as the bedrock of his stronghold. Utilizing her ability to access information, the artificial lifeform presented her suggestion.

[Thundergod Fort - 1500 points]

A formidable construct designed to serve as the foundation of a base. The fort boasted an arsenal of 16 lightning cannons and high-grade barriers, originally crafted by the celestials it able to stand the wrath of grand magus figure.

As if reading Emery's thoughts, she added, "Its quality is comparable to the Magus Alliance's own defensive structure, which costs 15 million spirit stones. This offers the best ratio of value compared to other defensive structures."

Impressed by the detailed explanation, Emery found himself torn between the practicality of the Thundergod Fort and the desire for something truly irreplaceable, irrespective of its value. While he had no shortage of spirit stones or means to acquire more, Emery harbored a penchant for unique and unparalleled items.

The female artificial lifeform then suggested unique spells of nature and light. However, Emery, with his extensive proficiency, realized that the available spells within his remaining points had similar utility to those already at his command. As a magus with a wide range of skills, he sought not redundancy but rather the exceptional, the rare, and the truly unique.

"Then, I would recommend for you to explore recipes or rare materials instead," the artificial lifeform suggested.

In a matter of seconds, she delved into a meticulous cross-referencing of the recipes and potions known to Emery and Merlin, comparing them with the most highly demanded concoctions in the vast expanse of the magus universe. The result was a curated list of the top 10 recipes, all falling within Emery's points budget and shrouded in obscurity—unknown or lost to the magus universe.

Among the intriguing options, Emery's attention gravitated towards two celestial original recipes:

[Celestial Body Tempering Recipes]

[Celestial Spirit Enhancement Potions]

Both ancient recipes, one designed to enhance physical attributes and the other to fortify spiritual defenses, beckoned to Emery's aspirations. He recognized the potential of these recipes to elevate his own. However, the celestial knowledge came with a price tag, and Emery's points budget restricted him to the available grades:

[Low Grade - 500 points]

[Medium Grade - 2000 points]

[High Grade - 5000 points]

Despite the allure of the high-grade versions, Emery weighed his options pragmatically. Convinced that even the low-grade recipes held the potential for significant improvement, he made a practical decision. With a determined nod, he agreed to trade a total of 1000 points, securing for himself the celestial wisdom encapsulated in the two chosen low-grade recipes.

Emery, with a resolute determination, decided to allocate the remaining 1921 points towards acquiring rare materials, each chosen with a specific purpose in mind.

The first item on his list was a vial of [Celestial Essence]. Emery envisioned this ethereal substance as a catalyst to elevate his experiments with plant creatures to new heights

The second choice was a vial of rank 9 wolf blood, specifically from the elusive [Twin Sun Wolf]. This unique, light-based wolf of rank 9 boasted exceptional properties that might enhance his wolf serum. Even if it wouldn't have much effect on him, the infusion of such potent blood could greatly help his wolf pack.

Among the assortment of tier 7 ingredients, one particular item caught Emery's attention—an elusive bar of [Dragonite], forged from the remains of an extinct metal dragon.

[Emery Ambrose: 0 points]

As Emery's points dwindled to zero, the list revealed more enticing items. Unable to resist the allure of the celestial treasures, he shamelessly inquired of the celestial giant, "Don't you have any special reward for the first rank? Especially after risking my life for such a mess."

To his surprise, the celestial giant turned to him with a knowing smile and replied,

<Your deeds will be rewarded, but not today.>

The revelation left Emery in a state of both anticipation and mild disappointment. It seemed that additional rewards were indeed in store for him, but the celestial intended to unveil them at a later time. Emery couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration; the celestial's ability to foresee the future did not translate into immediate gratification for his valiant efforts.

In a bid to gain something more from the celestial encounter, Emery turned his attention to the female artificial lifeform standing before him. Seeking to gain a little more from the celestial exchange, he cast an appealing gaze and made a proposition, "Can I at least get this one as a bonus? She will really come in handy."

To Emery's surprise, the celestial agreed to his proposition, and a sudden notification echoed in his mind.

[Receiving system patch]

[System upgraded]

[Virtual Intelligence Assistant successfully embedded to your system]

Emery was taken aback by the direct integration of the celestial's assistant into his system. It prompted him to ponder the intricate connection between the celestial realm and the magus universe system that linked every magus across the vast expanse of the universe.

However, before he could delve deeper into these musings, the celestial realm began to tremble, signaling the imminent end of Emery's sojourn. With the celestial's departure imminent, Emery seized the final moments to seek clarity regarding his promised rewards.

"You say I will be rewarded later, can you at least tell me when?"

Emery wondered if these rewards would manifest before his impending duel with Kronos or perhaps in response to the looming calamity foretold for the next 10 to 20 years.

To his astonishment, the celestial's response held a revelation that left Emery speechless.

<We will meet again in two millennia.>
