“How did that chi reach such a high level?! It has even surpassed its potential level!” Cedric spoke in disbelief while thinking, ‘Although it has mutated because of ive Energy, it is still a damn chi! Just how does it do that?!’

  He scratched his head while activating Past Observation on the area around that chi.

  After cheg the event that happened around that area for the past few months, Cedric found out that chi is actually a normal chi at first.

  It is so normal that if you pced it on a group of chis, it would be impossible to pick that specific chi.

  But on a certain afternoon. While walking around with several other chis, a group of hunters from River Stoy arrived and killed all the chis in that group except for the ohat would ter turn into a demonic chi.

  After traversing the nd for a long time, while almost on the verge of death due to being hunted by many powerful animals. That chi arrived at the pce where Lacius and Gratian had previously fought.

  Surrounding the chi, Cedric could see the bck smoke like ive Energy had appeared. At this time, the density and range of NE are much smaller than the one he saw at the present time.

  When the chi arrived otlefield, Cedric could see the smoke like ive Energy begin to gather toward it.

  With ering its body, that chi be seen growing bigger at an arming speed.

  The chi that’s initially only around fifty timeters quickly rose i until it reached one and a half meters before stopping.

  Then, several eyes began to appear on its body, while its fur began to turn purplish.

  With its newfound power, that chi went to fight against other animals in the area.

  After tinuously killing other animals and the occasional human hunters, it slowly grew and eveo evolve. o its normal beak. Another slightly smaller beak grew.

  When the chi ses evolution, it seemed to go manid begin killing the surrounding creatures at a higher rate.

  Seeing the se is quite unimportant, Cedric fast forwarded it before stopping when a ge has occurred.

  One day, while that chi was happily hunting and t creatures, a hundred person troop arrived.

  At this time, the chi already has siderable strength. It’s even capable of spitting fmes and poisons from its beaks.

  So, the instant that chi and the army met, they instantly fought a bloodied battle.

  After a protracted battle which resulted in most of its eyes going blind while some bald spot spears on its body. It finally won against that human army and killed half of them.

  Although it was still heavily injured, it chased the remaining soldiers until they entered a cave with a dead end. Seeing those soldiers trapped, the chi stopped its chase and guarded outside of the cave mouth.

  Cedric curiously watches what it is trying to do while fast f the se when it is recuperating from the battle.

  Soon, the chi’s injury began to heal, and it ehe cave where those humans hid.

  Upoering, that chi immediately stared at a soldier and pecked one of his limbs. It repeated the a of peg at the soldier’s limb before finally swallowing him when that man had died.

  Seeing the fear and pani the surrounding soldiers, that chi left in satisfa.

  Then Cedritio watd saw a shog se. That se is fucked up enough to make him curse several times.

  That chi tio visit that cave every day. Every time it arrives, it will throw several games it has huoward the soldiers. The food is just good enough to keep the soldiers alive, but make them weak enough to ot escape.

  But that’s not all. Every three to seven days, it will peck a random soldier to their death.

  Uhe hunger and stress where they will randomly be killed, those soldiers begin to exude an aura of despair and hopelessness.

  Seeing it, Cedric frowned. Not only because of the chi’s cruelty. But also because every time a soldier died, Cedric could see the smoke like ive Energy around the pce turn slightly thicker. The increase is miniscule, but it still increases heless!

  Furthermore, every time a soldier is killed, some of the hey geed will go toward the chi.

  He guessed that might be the reason that chi could increase its level so quickly and surpass its potential level.

  So, while feeling a bit nauseous from the se he saw, Cedritrolled his Past Observation and fast forwarded the time.

  After more than a month, he saw an army sisting of three hundred soldiers led by several blessed had scoured the area. But, every time that chi saw the massive army, it immediately ran toward the cave where the soldiers gathered while attag them.

  The less than fifty soldiers ihat cave couldn’t fight that chi and were forced deeper into the cave. It makes them miss the opportunity to be saved by the much bigger army.

  Unfortunately, those three hurong armies only checked the area for several days before returning due to a ck of ration.

  A few days after they left, Cedric saw the chi cheg its surroundings before returning to its usual routine.

  As the chi spent the remaining time following its routine, Cedric kept on fast-f it and skimmed through the se. At st, the se arrived at the current time.

  Cedric turned off his Past Observation ability and mulled, “Is it actually ‘farming’? It kept those soldiers in captivity to make them stantly gee ive Energy tthen it? “

  “Luckily, after gaining its third beak six months ago, that chi has stopped evolving.” Although he said so, Cedric is still extremely ed about that chi. Especially after he learned of its intellect.

  “For some reason, its current area of movement remained around the area enveloped by ive Energy. But, o somehow found the River Stoy, it will definitely cause a bloodbath!” Cedric clutched his fist whehought of the amount of hat would be created when that happened.

  The System suddenly chimed in at this time.

  [If the amount of NE is somehow greatly increased, the time left until the demon king is born will be shortened. Furthermore, the demon king’s strength will be increased.

  he hat chi has geed is enough to advahe demon king’s birth by around three months.]

  “Damn, I couldn’t uimate the trouble caused by this chi at all! I o quickly make a move before it bees stronger before the situatios out of hand!” Cedric muttered while reag toward a nearby table and quickly grabbed [Diviervention: Dream].

  After grabbing the octahedron shape [Diviervention: Dream], he prepared to activate it and pull Lacius and Yuma to meet him.

  But when Cedric saw the amount of energy in [Diviervention: Dream] he thought of something and stopped.

  He previously bought [Diviervention: Dream] because he wished to show his existeo the inhabitants of Crystal Cube world. After all, if Cedric hasn’t shown his power, those people might not follow his word and his pn will be disrupted.

  But now, the situation differs. Whether it is in the elven race, dwarven race, or the human race, there are already several people who know of his existence as the creator of the Crystal Cube world. That means, he could choose a cheaper alternative to unicate with them.

  This makes him recall the three options the System has reeo him before.

  So Cedric decided to ask the System a question. “Hey, system. Is using [Diviervention: Word] more cost effective than [Diviervention: Dream] if I want to unicate with the creatures in the Crystal Cube world?”

  [Yes, as long as you didn’t send too many images. If you o send a lot of images, purchasing aype of Diviervention item or using Diviervention: Dream is reended.]

  Although the System’s answer is quite short, it helped Cedric make up his mind. So, he opehe store se aed [Diviervention: Word].

  [Level 5 able Diviem, Diviervention: Word.

  Cost: 50 GP

  Details: Send a s or vision taining words you wish to send. The amount of words that be sent is limited. be used repeatedly as long as the word limit hasn’t been reached. The words are written using Divine Language, the nguage of god, which be uood by every intelligent being. It is possible to add images by spending more of the item’s power. The higher level the user and target is, the more energy is ed per word.]

  He clicked purchase and an octahedron crystal appeared in his hand. This time, the crystal has a beautiful dark blue color.

  “Another octahedron crystal?” Cedric rolled his eyes and thought. ‘Well, at least the color has ged.’

  He then prepared to close the store s when a new s appeared.

  [Because you’ve purchased Diviervention: Word, would you like to purchase Basic System S? Using Basic System S will increase the cost effectiveness of Diviervention: Word.]

  Cedric’s mi bnk when he saw the new s.

  “What’s this? A pop-up ad?” He ridiculed.

  heless, he couldn’t stop his curiosity and checked the Basic System S mentioned in the ads.

  [Level 1 able Diviem, Basic System S.

  Cost: 100 GP

  Details: Create a s that shows the user’s current level, sub level, pertage until reag the peak of certain sub level, and potential level. Upon the death of its designated user, the s will disappear.

  As it is a system s that has been crafted with specialized teique. It be used in jun with some Diviervention to decrease the cost of Divierventions by using the system s as a medium.

  How to use: shatter the crystal and trol the energy within using the user’s mental power. Thehe energy within the crystal toward a target. That target will be the designated user of the system s and could check their status from there on.

  Note: Diviems that be used in jun with the Basic System S to decrease their energy cost are:

  Diviervention: Word

  Diviervention: Images

  Diviervention: Sario

  …]

  After reading the lo item description he has seen before, Cedric asked the system." Why is this [Basic System S] so expensive? Also, how muergy I save by using this thing?"

  [The Basic System S is expensive because it be ted as a pseudo perma item. It be used for an infinite amount of time until the system’s designated user died.]

  [When using Diviervention: Word to someone who has been granted with Basic System S, the energy spent will be five times lower pared to sending a message to people without Basic System S.]

  “Five times?” After some basic calcution, Cedric begins to pte whether to purchase it.

  The [Basic System S] could only be used on one person. That means, when talking to other creatures who don’t have a [Basic System S], it will e [Diviervention: Word]’s energy at normal speed.

  But the promise of decreasing the cost by five times is incredibly tempting for Cedric. It means he would have a means to unicate with a person for aremely cheap price.

  [That’s right, by purchasing the Basic System S, you could meddle in your world more often! With the situation your world is currently in, you could attach the Basic System S on someoh high status and give them important information!]

  Hearing the System kept oing him to buy this thing, Cedrihe product’s h the System. “Wait a moment, is this thing your product?”

  [Tee-hee :D]

  Cederic stared at the emoti the System had sent and rolled his eyes. Then, he weighed the pros and s before sighing, “Whatever, I bme my impulse buying instinct suddenly kig.”

  He spent 100 GP and purchased the Basic System S while pining. ‘I think I might go bankrupt and die if this goes on.’

  [No worries, you won’t regret this purchase as long as you use it on the correct person.]

  [Also, once your world leveled up and reached level 2, it easily gee around 1-10 GP annually. At that time, 100 GP be gathered in 10 years. So, you won’t go bankrupt that easily.]
