Talent Swallowing System

The reason why Leo was shocked was, that the cost to buy the [Random Buy] was no longer 10 Fragments of the God Stones; instead, it was 100.

That's right! It's freaking 100 Fragments of the God Stones.

'Ding,

1) Lucky Buy: Gives a random system ability or no system ability.

Cost: Five Fragments of the God Stones (Always fixed).

2) Random Buy: Randomly gives a system ability.

Cost: 100 Fragments of the God Stones. (From the third use onwards, the cost is fixed).

'Even though I expected the cost to increase, I didn't expect it would rise by 10 times.'

Leo shook his head in disappointment as he continued, 'It looks like getting the system abilities is no longer as easy as I thought it was.'

Initially, Leo thought he could buy a few system abilities with the Fragments of the God Stones; however, who would have thought that the price would increase to 100 Fragments of the God Stones just after two purchases?

'Should I go for [Lucky Buy]? It only costs five Fragments of the God Stones.'

Leo was a little tempted to purchase the [Lucky Buy]; however, he controlled his urge and thought, 'I think it is better to use that option when I have 20 or 30 Fragments of the God Stones.'

If he had 20 or 30 Fragments of the God Stones, Leo could purchase the [Lucky Buy] four or six times, which increases his chances of getting a system ability.

'However, I still felt it is better to wait until I have 100 Fragments of the God Stones.'

Leo didn't want to depend on luck and waste his Fragments of the God Stones; however, he felt he should give it a try.

'With 100 Fragments of the God Stones, I can purchase [Lucky Buy] 20 times and no matter how unlucky I am, I should be able to get one or two system abilities, right?'

Leo silently thought of another probability and decided to give it a try when he had 100 Fragments of the God Stones.

'Anyway, let's check the new system feature. It seems interesting.'

Even though [Fragments of the God Stones' store] was revealed after the system upgrade, it was not a new system feature.

Moreover, from the name of the system feature, Leo felt it was quite interesting. Therefore, he no longer bothered about the store and focused on the new system feature.

'Ding,

System Feature: Thoughts of Gods.

Use: The host can see the thoughts of the gods relating to you and the people surrounding you through the system.

Additional Benefit: The host can directly receive the rewards from God by piquing their interest or pleasing them.

Note: There are no Gods watching the nameless human world. You will be notified once any God shows interest in this world.

'This is…it is just like I expected. The lives of the people in the world mean nothing to these so-called Gods.'

After reading the information about the new feature, Leo was not excited; instead, he was agitated that the lives of the natives of the world mean nothing to them.

All they wanted was entertainment!

'The system said it would help me become the 'Talent Swallowing God'. When I reach such a level, I will give those bored gods some actual fun.'

When he said those words, Leo revealed an evil smile, 'More importantly, that ancient voice will be receiving quite an entertainment from me when the time comes.'

Compared to the bored gods, Leo was angrier at the Ancient Voice who hates the human race for who knows what reasons.

'I know the ancient voice was opening the portals and sending the monsters into the worlds but the thing is, he was not playing by the rules that nearly cost the humanity of this world getting erased.'

If the ancient voice played by the rules and explained the things and awakened the talents in the humans, they would have been quite powerful.

Of course, without the help of a few gods, they were able to survive and get some foothold for the upcoming world assessment.

'Thanks to the [Books of the God Ruins], I know about the titles of all the Gods that helped the human world. If I encounter them in the future, I should at least thank them for helping us.'

Even though Leo could tell they have their own reasons to visit the nameless human world to help the humans, he was grateful to them for taking a great risk by secretly coming into the world.

Hence, Leo thought to be grateful to them except for the Abyssal Demon God.

'Since there were no gods watching over this world, this new system is useless as of now.'

Leo closed the system window of the new feature before looking at the two system abilities that he could pick from.

'[Spirit Swallowing Ability] and [True Pill Swallower].'

One of them was an old ability that Leo was ignoring every time, whereas the other one was a new system ability that he was seeing for the first time.

'I wonder whether I can swallow the remnant spirits with the first ability?'

When he read the basic description of the [Spirit Swallowing Ability], this was what Leo asked himself.

If he could see the remnant spirit of the Abyssal Demon God and according to the ability's description, he would receive a talent or anything relating to that remnant spirit.

So, he was quite curious about what he would get by devouring the Abyssal Demon God's remnant spirit.

'Ding,

Even though the remnant spirits were only a small portion of the God-level entities' spirits, they were still spirits. So, the host can devour them as long as they are weakened.

'Excellent. I will go with the [Spirit Swallowing Ability].'

As soon as he received the system's explanation, Leo didn't think much before selecting the system ability and at the same time, he thought, 'As for the True Pill Swallower, you need to wait a little longer.'

'Ding,

Please wait for a few minutes while the system awakens the new ability of the host.

'Sure. Until then, I will check the changes in the existing system abilities.'

Soon, Leo started checking the changes in the system abilities that he had before the upgrade.
