Chapter 1154: Quest Complete
Before departing, I noticed something I had not noticed at the morning, maybe because of my head was thinking too much about many stupid things. I had only given it a glance and then forgot about it, but someone was grumpy I wasn't checking.
[Hey Maria, check the damned Quest Tab already! It's annoying to hold it all the time!]
Mister Angel was screaming into my head.
"Okay, fine, calm down, Jesus, do you have to get so angry over such things? Wait, does it really bother you?"
[Of course it does! It's annoying, just take your rewards!]
"I just had no idea there was a quest, when did it appear?"
[Midway through your fight against the king of the depths... And yes it is annoying, it remains on top of all other things, and makes processing speed slower.]
"Not like you're doing anything at all, aren't you?"
[The System is constantly assessing everything within you, Maria. It has become an important part of your growth and power, so yes, I am constantly working.]
"Um, okay, let's see..."
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have completed the {Emergency Quest}: [Defeat the King of the Depths and Protect the Aquarose Kingdom]!]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[You have done it, defeating the King of the Depths, and even managing to protect Aquarose while doing so. You have learned the truth behind the King of the Depths and his powers, the souls composing him, and their tragic past.]
[After learning the truth about the Aesir, Odin, and the past of Yggdrasil, you're left with way too many questions.]
[Can you truly save this world? Can you really defeat Odin? Is it possible with your current power?]
[Although you have unlocked a new power within you, the Power of Nothingness, it is still an elusive strength, a Divine Concept whose grasp you cannot truly get, for the moment.]
[After learning that the Fallen Star was nobody else than Frigga, you're left with the responsibility of taking care of this goddess, while making your first divine ally, in the flesh.] [However... How would Hel respond to this sudden alliance? You should try asking your Patron first before doing anything she wouldn't like!]
[Quest Completion Rewards]: [30.000.000 System Points] [Lost Crown of Atlantis Fragment (??? Grade)] x1 [Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x20 [Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x20 [Nether Elixir of Helheim (SS Grade)] x20 [Divine Skill Proficiency Elixir (SS Grade)] x20 [Spiritual Ki Reinforcement Elixir (SS Grade)] x20 [Divine Skill Evolution Scroll: King of the Depths' Soul (SSS Grade)] x1 [King of the Depths Themed Treasure Chest (SSS Grade)] x1 [Mysterious Sea Spirit Egg (??? Grade)] x1]
"Woah that's a lot of goodies, alright, I'll take those," I nodded with a smile.
I did finally get the last crown fragment too. But above all, these Elixirs looked pretty delicious, I was sure to grow a bit stronger if I consumed them all.
And then there were those other items, the Divine Skill Evolution Scroll containing a Soul piece of the King of the Depths, which could completely change a skill once evolved, then the treasure chest, which might contain strong weapons or new armor, and lastly, a mysterious sea spirit egg?
Ding!
[You have gathered all three fragments of the [Lost Crown of Atlantis]! All three fragments resonated with one another.]
[Do you wish to recreate the crown by combining all three fragments together?]
[Yes] [No]
Ah, it seems I can do this now... Should I go for it or wait a bit longer?
I guess there's nothing wrong with waiting for the moment, though it does seem like it could be important, I am not planning on giving it to the Aquarose Kingdom.
They said they ran away from their original world, so I don't think it would be wise of them to return, especially because all living mermen already adapted to the seas of Yggdrasil, and don't know how to survive in Atlantis oceans.
Anyways, going to keep it for now and see what I can do with it. I'll create it once we're out of here. As of everything else, I'll check it later too.
"Here we are..."
We stepped into the throne room, where we suddenly caught the King and the Queen kissing and... making out, despite their age, they were quite in love, it seemed.
"My beautiful queen, how about we make a third child? A prosperous future await us now," the King said, kissing her neck.
"W-Wait, dear, there are guests!" the Queen panicked as the two gasped in disbelief.
"Yo." I said. "We've come to say our goodbyes, we'll get going."
"W-Wait, you're going away already?!" the King asked. "Ahem! I-I mean... Why so suddenly? I thought you would stay at least a few weeks? There are many things you have yet to see and explore, we would offer you the best we can to our heroes too..."
"Yeah, why the hurry?" the Queen asked.
"I'm really grateful for all the hospitality!" I said. "It has been a nice couple of days, to be honest... I don't think we'll ever forget them, right guys?"
Everyone agreed as I asked them, they had a good time.
"However, we really need to get going, for personal stuff... And we wouldn't really want to get you all involved in our personal stuff," I said. "For your own safety..."
The King and the Queen looked at one another, nodding.
"I suppose this is a farewell then, Goddess Maria," the King said. "It has been truly an honor to have you here with us. And please, always remember that our kind will be eternally grateful to what you've done. If you ever require help, please, don't hesitate to call for our aid." "Indeed," the Queen nodded. "You were truly a miracle for all of us... You and your people, we shall never forget you. Preparations for gold statues of all of you are already under construction! We'll place them all in the hall of honor, a new building we'll create through the expansion of our territory."
"W-Wait, what?!" I asked. "Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Hahaha! Hardly! We shall also open a church to pray for you, Goddess Maria!" the King
laughed stroking his long beard.
These guys are really quite something...
