“What a headache…”

Looking at his own information on the screen in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but scratch his head.

After obtaining the title of God, the way Duanmu Huai allocated his points changed from before.

Or rather… there were no points to allocate anymore.

Previously, as a Judge, Duanmu Huai gained 1 free attribute point every two levels, but the leveling of a God is different. It automatically improves related attribute values during the upgrade, rather than letting the player choose themselves.

From the current values, the upgrade of the [God of Destruction] primarily increases [Strength] and [Physical Attribute], while the upgrade of the [God of Lust] improves [Agility] and [Perception].

Each god position can be upgraded 20 levels. So, from the current standpoint, for Duanmu Huai to reach maximum level, it would be equivalent to [Judge (LV40)]+[God of Destruction (LV20)]+[God of Lust (LV20)]+[God of OO (LV20)]+[God of XX (LV20)]= Level 120.

That's roughly the trajectory.

However, what gave Duanmu Huai a headache was not just this, but also the absorption of experience points.

Actually, the original Star Ocean Online game had settings for player's secondary professions. Players who did the tasks could gain general experience points, and they could freely allocate these experience points to the profession they wanted to level up.

But the advancement of a god position was completely different. It not only absorbed experience independently, but even the distribution of experience was self-determined!

For example, if Duanmu Huai engaged in slaughter and war, all the experience he gained would be filled into [God of Destruction], and the [God of Lust] position would not get any experience at all.

Of course, when you think about it carefully, it's actually quite logical. As a god, if you don't involve yourself in the affairs of your own domain, isn't that negligence? What use is your godly position if you don't serve your function? It's like the functional departments of a company, if the accountant doesn't do their accounting work, do they go to make tea? No matter how well you make tea, it won't give you any experience for doing an accountant's job, right?

So, the problem arises.

The level of the [God of Destruction] is rather easy to advance.

But the problem lies in… how do you advance the level of the [God of Lust]?

Duanmu Huai tried several things, and eventually discovered… well, for the [God of Lust] to gain experience, one must do certain things that are not quite describable within 300 characters. For instance, his interactions with Kanami… basically, he can get 10 experience points at a time…

This is not enough at all!!

Does he need to learn from Zeus and go around sowing seeds everywhere? This…

Just thinking about it gives a headache… After all, he is not Zeus, and he can't transform into other forms, can he? Of course, considering all sorts of compassionate deeds in Greek mythology, Duanmu Huai had no plans to learn from Zeus, that would simply be asking for trouble.

“Forget it, let's put it aside for now.”

Duanmu Huai mentally dismissed this issue, then stretched out his hand and clicked on the system panel's [Star Warrior Combat Training] and [Religious Army Siege Rules]. Soon, another system prompt appeared in front of him.

[Two professional skills are at maximum level detected, would you like to advance?]
“Of course.”

Duanmu Huai glanced at it, immediately giving his answer.

[Chose to Advance]
With Duanmu Huai's words finishing, suddenly, a bright burst of light exploded from his body. After a moment, it disappeared and simultaneously, a system prompt again appeared before Duanmu Huai.

[Advancement Completed — Select Advancement Skill — Selection Completed]
Judge (LV40) has been advanced to Great Judge (LV40).

Star Warrior Combat Training MAX is upgraded to the Art of the Death Cult LV1.

Religious Army Siege Rules MAX is upgraded to Carrier Survival Training LV1.

“Huff…”

Feeling the flow of power and knowledge in his body, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and took a breath.

[Professional Advancement] is also a rather troublesome system setting in the game. Simply put, players must level up a professional specialization to max level, and then they can choose to advance the profession.

For the initial Judge profession, advancement goes in the order of Great Judge, Mentor, Grand Mentor, and Tribunal Representative.

Of course, even though these advanced professions do not bring significant improvements in player stats, they are indispensable.

The reason: Authority.

Even though the Human Empire is already destroyed, the remnants and structures of the Human Empire are still dormant on many planets. Once players want to enter certain facilities or open certain boxes, things like authority and level become very important.

If you kill countless enemies to reach the door of a ruin, only to be told your authority level is not enough, it's enough to make you want to die.

So for players, enhancing professional advancement is extremely important. Of course, it's not too difficult to advance until Grand Mentor, but becoming a Tribunal Representative requires carrying out a series of lengthy, tedious, dangerous, and infuriating tasks to achieve success…

However, for players, as long as they don't attend the High Lord Council in Terra, simply being a Grand Mentor is enough. There's no need to torment oneself, right?

After all, Terra is gone. What use is the High Lord Council?

Among the advancement skills, Duanmu Huai specifically chose the Art of the Death Cult and Carrier Survival Training. The reason for choosing these two skills is to synchronize with his Fearful Aura. The Art of the Death Cult mainly increases the chance of a critical hit and critical hit damage. Simply put, it makes it easier to reduce enemies to pieces, make their horrifying corpses strike a heavy blow to enemy morale, and increase rounds of fear and trembling.

Carrier Survival Training mainly enhances one's resilience by suppressing the enemy. Simply put, the lower the enemy's morale, the more fear, panic, curse, poison, etc., the higher one's defense and resistance, making it easier to suppress the enemy.

These are Duanmu Huai's reasons for choosing these two skills. He suppresses enemies using the Art of the Death Cult, ensuring they constantly stay in a state of fear and trembling. Then, through Carrier Survival Training, he enhances his resistance and strength… A perfect cycle of terror.

I can't leave anymore, just like this…

After completing his advancement, Duanmu Huai left his room and came to the tactical control room, promptly reviewing the report in his hand.

The universe had been quite calm recently — which was rather obvious, as not even a month had passed, it was impossible for world-ending disasters to occur daily in the universe.

The one worth mentioning was the Guardian civilization. After purchasing several warships from Duanmu Huai, the humans of the Guardian civilization finally experienced the thrill of sweeping the universe. In the past, whenever they fought with other alien species in the Guardian's Star System, the lack of large warships meant they could only send Guardians in small fighters to carry out decapitation strikes or assemble several Guardians for ground operations.

But now they have warships, the Guardian civilization doesn't need to lag behind like before. Be it the Fallen, VEX, or Cabal, they dare to cause trouble and the Guardians would first send over a warship, bombarding the surface wildly, before letting Guardians clear the aftermath. It's extremely exhilarating.

According to the Guardian's Tower Council, if they had enough funding and manpower, they might even intend to purchase several more cruisers from Duanmu Huai…

Everything else seems to be calm as well, at least for now, no situation requiring the Tribunal's intervention is at hand, hmmm…

Having thought of this, Duanmu Huai made a decision.

He should return to Duel City and find a way to upgrade the 'God of Lust'.

Frankly speaking, he didn't think it would be that easy.

“So, where should I go?”

Having returned to Duel City, Duanmu Huai looked out upon the city and fell into deep thought. From what he could see, the “game” that was Duel City didn't seem to be heavily influenced by the MOD, but it wasn't completely unaffected either. Of course, Duanmu Huai still remembered the “Fighting God Competition” that Maryrose had been involved in previously. Clearly, this was one of the impacts of MOD's invasion into the game's core. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had discovered and eliminated this early on.

At that time, he didn't realize that such an event could have this kind of connection with this world. Duanmu Huai, of course, didn't want to see this place collapse, so he had to find a solution. The best one would be to kill the so-called “Creator God,” reclaim control of this world from it, thus completely solving the “Demon King” and “Hero” game. Only this way can this world regain its peace and quiet, without becoming chaotic or even collapsing completely.

“Hmm…”

Having thought of this, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment.

If nothing else works, he should first visit Lisas. At least, being a local, Princess Leia should have a better understanding of the situation there.
