"Both of them have Void in their names?" Ash mumbled as he looked at his rewards in confusion, thinking that it must have been related to space.
"The void in their names could be said to represent space power." Aetherion walked toward Ash with a satisfied smile.
"Oh? Will I be able to turn into a dragon then?" Ash asked the most important question directly, since he thought that it would be really cool if he could turn into a majestic dragon.
"Of course." Aetherion burst into laughter for a while, then shook his head with a chuckle. "Let me explain some things first so that you won't be as ignorant as you are right now."
A few minutes later…
Ash finally understood the rewards he had received just now.
The rewards from the system were divided into the following ranks:
—> Iron, Silver, Gold, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Divine, Transcendent, Eternal, and Primordial.
The two rewards he had received were of the Primordial Ranks.
Aetherion had also reminded him to not let anyone know about them because it would only bring countless unnecessary trouble.
He explained that the Voidwalker Dragon was one of the strongest, if not the strongest, Primordial Dragons, as it mastered the power of time and space like him.
When Ash heard that, he casually asked Aetherion about something because he was curious, but he was shocked to hear the answer.
Ash asked Aeth who would be stronger if he were compared to the Voidwalker Dragon, and Aetherion just said that he didn't know because he had never encountered it, but he was confident that he wouldn't lose even if he couldn't win against it.
As for the Eternal Void Chronobody, Aetherion didn't explain much, as he only said that it was the best physique known to exist that was related to time and space.
So, with the Voidwalker Dragon bloodline plus the Eternal Void Chronobody physique, Aetherion said that he would be able to learn time and space power easily.
However, Aetherion reminded him to not use the dragon power recklessly because it might bring them unnecessary trouble if the dragon race detected it.
Aetherion had also explained about the system points and how Ash could become stronger with the system.
Ash could use system points to enhance his summoned or personal rank. The number of points necessary varies based on rank.
There were three ways to obtain system points.
The first way to obtain system points was by completing the mission given by the system. The better you handled and completed the mission, as well as the more difficult the system task was, the more system points you would get.
The second way to obtain system points was by killing the enemy. The stronger the enemy that was killed, the more system points you would get.
The third way to obtain system points was by recruiting geniuses or strong powerhouses with special abilities to join his faction.
The system points themselves were divided into silver, gold, platinum, and diamond, where every grade had a difference of 10,000x, meaning that 10k silver was the same as 1 gold, and so on.
…
After digesting more of what Aeth had informed him, Ash immediately instructed the system to receive and apply the Voidwalker Dragon bloodline and Eternal Void Chronobody to his body, as they weren't already attached and were sitting in his inventory.
As soon as Ash confirmed his command, the system instantly responded.
[Ding! Applying Voidwalker Dragon Bloodline and Eternal Void Chronobody to the host's body…]
[Ding! Process initiated…]
A deafening silence fell over the main hall. A second later, a surge of otherworldly power exploded from within Ash's body.
BOOM!
The floor beneath Ash shattered into pieces as a powerful vortex of space-time energy burst out from him. The entire mansion trembled violently as if a huge earthquake happened.
"What the hell?!" Ash gritted his teeth as his body felt like it was being crushed and rebuilt all at once.
His limbs twisted, bones cracked, and flesh deformed as the Voidwalker Dragon Bloodline forcefully fused with his very essence. It was as if something ancient, divine, and ruthless was drilling itself into every part of his body.
BOOOOM!!
The sky above the Vohn family mansion suddenly darkened.
Sigh!
Aetherion sighed and shook his head helplessly as he mumbled softly that no one could hear. "Well, consider this as a gift for our first meeting then."
"Let's hope that there aren't too many powerful entities nearby." Aetherion murmured to himself, unconcerned about Ash overhearing—after all, he was too busy writhing in agony to notice anything else.
Aetherion then lowered down his blindfold to his neck before opening his eyes completely. The moment he opened his eyes, the aura around him suddenly changed.
Subsequently, Aetherion looked up ahead at the phenomenon that was about to form and waved his hand casually as he snorted. "Hmmph! Get lost!"
The dark clouds that just formed immediately diminished, and everything came back to normal.
Snap!
Aetherion snapped his fingers, creating a barrier that looked simple around the main hall, but it was actually boundless.
In the blink of an eye, Aetherion disappeared without a trace, reappearing in a boundless void filled with swirling chaos and endless emptiness.
"It seems that I need to separate myself from the system so that he won't get too many benefits this early." Aetherion mumbled softly, his voice reverberating in the surroundings.
He then tapped his feet once, creating a white halo 1 meter wide beneath him.
As soon as the white halo moved past his body, Ash felt that something was missing, but he couldn't care less as he was still fighting with the excruciating pain that he had just experienced for the first time.
"Fortunately, only two showed up." Aetherion smiled faintly as his gaze shifted forward, noticing the subtle distortions forming in the void ahead.
