Chapter 911 Four Titles
[Multiple titles gained.]
Reading the notification, Shiro glanced over at Nan Tian.
"Seems like the new age is truly starting now." Shiro smiled as the system resumed its functions.
"Mn. Things might get a little hectic depending on what information the system shares." Nan Tian frowned.
"We can worry about that when it happens." Shiro chuckled as she tapped on the icon that showed her of her titles.
During the first day of the new age, she had been highly active and managed to obtain 4 titles during that time.
[Goddess of Protection]
[Leader of Asharia]
[Merciful Goddess]
[Young Goddess]
Three of the titles were linked to her role as a god while the last one was tied to her city.
[Leader of Asharia]
As the leader of a safe sanctuary, the world offers its blessings. All those that reside in your city will permanently receive a 20% boost to EXP gain, 5% boost to stats and -20% hostility from monsters.
There is a chance that they may even receive help from certain monsters such as dragons with a good alignment.
The fact that the people of her city could possibly roam around this world with the help of dragons was good news since it opens up the chance of more expeditions outside of the city without worry of being killed with a single breath by a powerful monster.
Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro wondered if she should share this title’s details with the rest of the citizens but she decided to hold off on it for now. They’ll probably receive a notification of the buff so she didn’t need to do anything.
[Goddess of Protection]
As a Goddess, you have tried your best at protecting the people from harm. Your body was used as a shield and you risked your life for their safety.
Protection of the Goddess Skill receives the following changes.
Usage is no longer linked to Grace. The skill can be used without taking a charge. (10 uses.) One charge is regenerated everyday at midnight and a charge of Grace can be used to fulfil the requirements.
Damage received is reduced by 30%.
’I can use the barrier 20 times if I dedicate all the charges of Grace to this every 10 days. Meaning I can save two cities each day without any worries.’ Shiro thought while placing her hand on her chin. Contemplating the uses of this title, she glanced at the next title, Merciful goddess.
[Merciful Goddess]
During their time of need, you have appeared and showed them a path to survival. You did not hold back and saved as many as you could.
The impression towards you as a god is greatly increased.
People are more likely to change their alignment after being granted your mercy.
The chances of receiving faith and prayers from those that you save are greatly increased.
Received Skill – Mercy of the Goddess
When they are in their time of need, should a subject pray to you, are you able to grant them a portion of your power so that they may survive their ordeal. Subjects can receive this boon more than once but the more often you help them, the greater the backlash. The first few boons will result in you being slightly weakened for a few minutes to hours but it will increase. The more power you lend, the more serious the consequences. You are able to manifest yourself at their locations if you desire so that you may take over for them.
You are also able to take over their body depending on what they require.
Before you grant them your power, the context of the situation will be transmitted to you.
Cost: Temporary decrease of stats proportionate to how much power you lend them.
Duration: Can vary depending on the task but cannot be more than 1 hour.
Cooldown: N/A
However, after receiving the first boon, a person will need to wait 1 week before being able call for your help once more.
You are able to help multiple at once.
Reading this, Shiro was a little surprised that this skill didn’t cost Divine Energy but rather decreased her stats. However, she wasn’t too bothered by this since Divine Energy was precious when it comes to usages. If she was to use Mercy of the Goddess, there’s no doubt that she’ll probably be helping a lot of people in the future. If there were a million people needing her help, Divine Energy would just be drained immediately.
Plus, there was also the problem of being careful of how much power she lent them. If their body couldn’t handle it, taking over for them might just kill the subject which was not what she wanted. While the system doesn’t mention it, Shiro could guess that manifesting herself would bring more backlash than just taking over.
’Tsk, what a pain. The system doesn’t actually mention the potential problems of lending power as a Demi Goddess.’ Shiro forced a smile as the system seemed to be hiding more things now.
Shaking her head, she glanced at the final title. This was the one that she was most curious about since it was similar to her Monster Title!
[Young Goddess]
As a young goddess, you have inspired people to seek you out as a source of comfort. They place their faith in you, believing that you will help them in their time of need.
Current Benefits from people that believe you – 50% Bonus to All Stats
+150% Divine Energy Regeneration
+100% Divine Energy Effectiveness
Seeing that it worded it as ’Current Benefits’, Shiro knew that the more people that she brings under her ’religion’ as a goddess, the bigger this bonus will be. In the future, there was a possibility of this 50% increasing to 100%.
"You seem like you’ve found something interesting. Did the system give you a good title?" Nan Tian asked with a chuckle.
"Mn, it gave me four. The last one is probably one of my favourites. It’s similar to my monster title but it rewards me for helping people. Regardless of what happens, whether I help or kill, I can become stronger." Shiro smiled.
"Oh? Are you going to give up the option of killing then?" Nan Tian chuckled.
"Pft, who do you think I am? If I see evil, of course I’ll slaughter them. If they pass my bottom line, I’ll kill them in the worst way possible. I might have received titles like Goddess of Protection of Merciful Goddess, but I am still someone who has no qualms with killing those that get in my way. My hands are stained with the blood of the countless, a title or two won’t change that." Shiro smiled coldly as she narrowed her eyes since she could never give up the option of killing.
After the first life she took with her own hands, killing people has become the norm for her. Sure she might give them a second chance if their sins weren’t serious but those that refuse to repent will be killed. And those that want to provoke her despite knowing the risks were basically begging to be killed by her. In that regard, she’ll kindly oblige and give them ’Mercy’ from a harsher fate. She is a Merciful Goddess after all.
Mercy comes in all forms. Sometimes it’s the lesser of two evils.
"Goodness, seeing that expression of yours really makes me wonder if the system is within its right might calling you a Goddess of Protection. If anything, it’ll make more sense if it titled you as Goddess of Slaughter. Not that it makes a difference I suppose." Nan Tian chuckled.
"Of course it doesn’t matter. In this new age, saving someone means killing another. Killing someone means you’ve helped someone in the future. When you look at it, both slaughter and protection are basically two sides of the same coin with just different phrasing." Shiro shrugged.
"Indeed. What about the other rewards?" Nan Tian asked.
Glancing over at her system, Shiro smiled.
"I have received three materials of the Black Grade. Helion should like these quite a bit. In terms of skills, I haven’t gotten anything more but seeing as how my class is unregistered, it’s quite normal. I believe the first person of each class also had to make their own skills. If there is a person with the same class as me, they won’t need to make skills like I do." Shiro shrugged.
"While skills and items are low, the EXP gain has certainly not been stagnant. In a single day, with all the monsters that I’ve killed, I’ve reached level 600. Some of the EXP has been transferred to me since they were using my mechs but the transfer was a bit low. The EXP gain after tier 6 is quite hard to keep up. We’re just lucky that the first day kept spawning monsters otherwise it would have taken me probably a few months of constant killings to reach tier 6. Really makes you wonder how many monsters we killed in a single day huh?" She laughed as the mech pilots levelled up quite a bit as well.
