Chapter 401 Exposed?
If all the world underwent the exact same time of evolution progress, it was only logical to ask about it in the Divinity Mission Board chat to get his hands on more information about future dangers.
Thus, his questions ended up something like this;
[What exactly are the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction? How dangerous are they?]
[Are the Frontier Dimensions and the Streams of Reality different from Gates and Realm Gates? If so, what exactly are they?]
[Exactly how many ‘Phases’ does the Primordial Ascension have before it’s completed, and is there usually a precise date and period for each Phase?]
Dilan had many more questions in mind but he couldn’t ask them all at once if he wanted to have answers to all of them. He knew that many Ascenders that had access to the chat were already annoyed at his stupidity, but it was not Dilan’s fault for getting access to the Divinity Mission Board chat when he was still a Tier-1 Ascender.
In fact, it would be stupid not to ask questions about things he had no idea about, and if he was only frowned upon by others that were also fine with him.
Once he finished sending the three messages, Dilan took a proper look at his surrounding area. He wanted to see what kind of update the Interface System was undergoing but that could wait for a while.
“I’m not sure if I should actually say this but this looks pretty much how I always imagined hell to look like…” Kathrine said, feeling a bit uneasy as a shudder ran down her spine.
As he cast a look at their surroundings, he saw that the earth was red in color and he could also see steam wafting off its surface. The Realm Gate behind them couldn’t be accessed right now and the gigantic building opposite the Realm Gate looked like the manor of a Demon Lord.
Black miasma oozed out of the building and a chilling cold swept through the air. The feeling of having hot feet and a cold upper body was weird enough to make everyone feel odd.
“If hell looks like this, it should be considered a paradise,” Dilan said with a faint smile on his lips as he saw various monsters strolling through the surrounding area.
It looked like they couldn’t see Dilan and the three women next to him as they didn’t cast a single glance at them even once.
But that was pretty advantageous because Dilan’s [Power Appraisal] exposed the strength of all the monsters around them.
“Why paradise? You didn’t fall on your head while advancing to Tier-2, right?” Victoria asked in a genuinely concerned voice.
Dilan’s lips twitched and he glared at her for a moment just to see that she was clueless as to why he was glaring at her.
“There are many powerful Tier-2 and even Tier-3 monsters in our proximity. If we were to hunt all of them, our strength would elevate quickly,” He explained before he sighed a little.
Had he been alone, he would probably rush to all the monsters, kill them and then enter the Blood Monarch’s Sanctum. However, with the three girls by his side, it was better if he wouldn’t do anything that could kill them just by standing near him.
A single long-range attack that went astray would be more than enough to kill any of the three women without a lot of difficulties.
“Killing Tier-3 monsters? Are you that confident in yourself?” Kathrine asked, squinting her eyes.
However, instead of receiving an answer from Dilan, both Yvonne and Victoria could only sigh. Their reason to sigh was different, yet the same and they simultaneously blurted out.
“He probably can…” Victoria said with a trace of uncertainty because she had only sensed Dilan’s bloodlust and overwhelming mana before.
“He definitely can…” Yvonne said confidently, knowing that Dilan provided Old Jeff with way too many body parts of Tier-3 and Tier-4 monsters. If he couldn’t kill Tier-3 monsters now, Yvonne was not sure what to believe anymore.
Dilan smiled lightly before he turned in the direction of the Instance Dungeon of the Blood Monarch.
Yet, just when he was about to tell everyone to enter the Instance Dungeon, he received an interesting message.
[Ariel Silvertale requested the creation of a personal chat with the host. Ariel Silvertale has already paid all fees to do so!]
Dilan lifted his right eyebrow in surprise while reading the system notification but instead of telling the system to open a personal chat, he went over to the Divinity Mission Board chat, where he had received a really long answer for all the questions he had asked.
“Damn, that woman sure is helpful…” Dilan mumbled as he started to read the message for a second time.
‘The second phase of the awakening happens two months after the Primordial Ascension, and the Descension of the Hordes of Chaos is normal…but the ‘Destruction’ part is missing or different…’ He thought, tilting his head in confusion.
[If you want to receive more answers, you will have to reveal something about yourself as well! I’m not answering you for free!] That was the last message he had received in the Divinity Mission Board chat before she had requested the creation of a private chat with him.
Somehow, this sounded like a threat but Dilan didn’t have anything to lose by answering some questions and talking to this stranger.
With that in mind he accepted her request and a new icon appeared on the top right corner of the Divinity Mission Board Chat. He clicked on the Icon and an empty chat window opened that contained a single message.
[You are the being who got your hands on the Divine Occupation of your planet, aren’t you?]
Dilan’s eyes widened a bit and he began to wonder if he had asked too many questions in the Divinity Mission Board chat because strangers could make exceptional inferences with the information he had unveiled intentionally or not.
The fact that someone had figured out the secret about his Divine occupation’s existence made him feel a little bit odd because it indicated that more people were capable of concluding the same as Ariel Silvertale.
This was a bit frustrating but Dilan knew that he would have to accept the reality. Deleting messages was not possible in the Divinity Mission Board chat and he was not sure how much of a problem it was to expose the existence of his Divine occupation either.
Dilan knew way too little about the Primordial Ascension, after all!
[What do you mean with ‘Divine Occupation of your planet?’ I don’t think I can follow your train of thoughts!] Dilan answered after he thought about it for a moment.
If he was already exposing his occupation, he should at least get to know what everything meant. Dilan reconsidered bombarding Ariel with questions but he knew that she wouldn’t answer him more than necessary until she received some kind of information from him.
Despite not knowing Ariel Silvertale on a personal level, he could roughly gauge her personality…and that was something he didn’t like, at all.
