Chapter 892 Eternal Points

There were very few words that could describe the kind of terror and regret Hukrain was feeling right now. Where the eagle had been once dominating like a champion, he was now being suppressed to the point where running away was no longer an option.

What was worse was that Hukrain had fucked around and found out.

He had tortured and bullied Eva when he had held the advantage, laughing cruelly at that time. However, the moment Eva had wrestled the advantage from him, she began giving him a taste of his own medicine, which was absurdly bitter.

It had to be said, if it was simply equal reciprocation, Hukrain wouldn't be as resistant to it. What really made the Giant Eagle filled with regret was that Eva's torture was more than ten times more cruel and brutal.

After 5 minutes, Hukrain was willing to submit fully, even offering up his soul. What made Hukrain feel horror was that Eva did not care and simply continued to brutalize him cruelly, making sure to restore all the damage she did using healing spells.

In just another 5 minutes, Hukrain was willing to die. He begged for death profusely, but Eva did not give it to him. In fact, seeing Hukrain's will to live extinguish, Eva slowly began to show traces of fake fatigue, giving her opponent hope.

Hope for life and escape.

Soon, Eva revealed a blunder which allowed Hukrain to flash forward and soar into the sky. The Eternal screeched with joy and happiness, using his maximum speed to escape.

Heck, he even burned some of his Soul Origin to increase his speed, all so he could get away from the horrible Eva. Thinking about his newfound freedom, Hukrain swore to never mess with his prey again and just devour them the first chance he got.

This near death and torture experience also made him realize that he couldn't let his bloodline die out. He had to let a next generation inherit his Eternal skills as a bloodline, forming a Speed Eagle clan or something.

Just as Hukrain was planning out his bright and beautiful future, he suddenly saw a blaze of light appear around him. When he focused his eyes, he saw Eva was flapping her wings lazily while hovering above him, a cruel smile on her face.

"Ready for round two?" Eva questioned in avian language with playfulness in her voice.

Hearing this, Hukrain's eyes dimmed greatly. To go from full of hope and happiness to the depths of despair… it was something truly horrifying and mind shattering. The Giant Eagle slowly fell to the ground, dead.

Already aware that she would just toy him to death, he had chosen to snuff out his own life force.

Draco by the side sucked in a deep breath, collecting all of Hukrain's despair. After savoring it, he burped and smiled happily.

Ramshel, who had watched all of this, had long stopped running. He then trembled like a leaf as he lay in the sand, tears in his eyes as he watched the cruelty of this Evil Duo. It was easy to forget how wicked these two can be at times, given how silly they behaved in front of the Umbra members.

Draco and Eva changed back to human form and floated above the trembling Ramshel.

"Hoh, have you realized that running away is futile, as we can track you no matter where you go? Aren't you going to continue trying to lead us into other foes so that they can block us for you?" Draco asked with a teasing smile.

Ramshel shook when he heard this. So his idea had long been seen through by these two and they had simply played along!

"Right now, your only value lies in getting beaten to death by us two. However, if you can lead us to other territories with Eternal monsters of this same level of power, we might be willing to let you go at the end." Eva offered with a glint in her eye.

Ramshel saw this glint and its eyes dimmed. Eva had used her psychic ability to plant a mental suggestion in him to listen to them.

As such, when Ramshel's eyes regained light, the camel nodded and got to his feet, leading the way for Draco and Eva. In his mind, doing this was a surefire way to secure his life without any chance to backfire.

All the questions and doubts he should have had disappeared like smoke, or better yet, were suppressed under layers of concrete.

Draco and Eva sneered as they watched their slave carry forward. Now, they could harvest endless experience to move up in the world!

But first, they checked their current progress.

Hm, it seemed that their hard work over the past month had paid off. Not only had they gained 4 points of experience from the previous battles, but their Eternal Control had gone up by 0.35!

That might sound little for one month's worth of non-stop work, but it was great because this one month was barely a week in reality. In fact, Draco and Eva were not even sure if the time flow between this realm and the game were the same.

They didn't care enough to check because their 100% bloodline bodies in the pods no longer needed sustenance from NuSmoothies or whatever. Their endless Bloodline Energy was enough to sustain them, so they could remain in the pods for eternity if they so wished.

Also, the hard value was 100 points. 0.35 in one month meant that they only needed around 290 months of the same effort to reach perfection of their bloodline.

This was essentially only 24 years of time, or 2.4 decades!!

Did that sound like a lot of time?

Bruv, if they achieved 100 Eternal Control, it was likely that their power rose to universe level, making them equivalent to the likes of Caelo!

That would the pinnacle of their power and they would be truly Gods of the universe at that point.

All of that in a mere 24 years!!

Compared to cultivators who even the most talented could only reach Soul Formation by the age of 24, assuming they were bathed in treasures from birth. Draco and Eva would use that same time to reach the absolute pinnacle of all cultivation!

How could you feel it was too long? If anything, it was too short!

That's right, Draco and Eva calmed down as they realized this. It was too idealistic to calculate this way. Efficiency was not something that rose linearly or exponentially, but something that would reach a peak and then provide diminishing returns.

If the peak was 0.35 a month, then after, say 24 months, when they reached a higher value of Eternal Control, that 0.35 might reduce to 0.26 even if they used the same regime. That was just how things realistically worked, otherwise anyone who practiced in any field could become Grandmaster in a set amount of time without hitting any bottlenecks or ceilings.

Thinking like that, Draco and Eva sighed within, but still followed Ramshel to their next target.

It was clear that the monsters in the area were about to go through a calamity.

.........….

With a wail, a giant armadillo-like monster fell to the ground and became a bunch of pixels. Ramshel, who had watched his old foe get slaughtered like a dog, had a complicated look in its eyes. Even if he had regained its senses, the Eternal Camel no longer had any intention of running or playing tricks.

He was literally just praying that Draco and Eva would actually value his contribution and spare it when the time came.

As for Draco and Eva, they had just killed their tenth Eternal Monster and had finally leveled up! They curiously checked their character panels to see what had changed over the course of the last few hours.

Apart from their Eternal Control which had gone up by 0.01, they had also gained 1 Eternal Point. When the Evil Duo saw this, their eyes narrowed as many speculations came to mind, but they used the system to verify what it meant.

When they got the feedback, their faces changed greatly and their entire bodies trembled.

As part of the trial, the World Will of the Eternal World had digitized the entire world for them and implemented rules similar to Boundless World. This included the system of stats and stat growth.

However, a level system had been added and for what reason? Was it to show the progress of Draco and Eva? No, that would be fine enough with just the stats alone, no need for any extravagant things like experience.

The level system was created as a reward for the trial by the World Will. After all, Draco and Eva weren't supposed to be here. They were supposed to face a far easier trial within the confines that the AI created, but they had been passively dragged here by the World Will when it detected that they were Eternal beings trying to access Eternal Power.

So the World Will had created this whole hullabaloo to replicate the trial the AI should have given them, but because of the higher difficulty, it had to compensate them.

Hence, Eternal Points.

Simply put, allocate points into any one of the 3 Eternal Stats; Eternal Power, Eternal Control, Eternal Limit.

You didn't like the limited power of your Eternal Talent despite its high control and high limit? You can now raise it by one point and save yourself the stress of cultivating your Eternal Power higher to reach your Eternal Limit.

You had good Eternal Power, but poor Eternal Control? Add a point here and experience your skill with your Eternal Talent rise inexplicably!

You have maxed out your Eternal Power and Eternal Control to the limit, but your low Eternal Limit means you have reached the end of your journey? Fear not! Simply add one point and suddenly feel like your ceiling has been forcibly raised higher!

The entire concept of this was limited to Draco and Eva, limited to this encounter and would not occur again unless they could trigger the same events again.

Even if Ramshel killed Hakrasha and ten other Eternal Monsters, he wouldn't even get 1 point of experience, much less earn himself an Eternal Point.

This was fully exclusive to the Evil Duo.

And looking at their circumstance, were Eternal Points needed?

Eternal Power was at the max, meaning that if they had max Eternal Control, they could bring out all the power that the strongest of Eternals possibly could.

Eternal Limit was at the max, meaning that in this universe where Eternals of different talents existed, no one else was higher than them, and they represented the highest value of talent.

Eternal Control was at the… bottom. They just got this huge beatstick called 100% bloodline and had not even spent a year with in on digital time, much less real time. How could they have control over it??

Even one month of nonstop work only got them a 1/3rd of a single point.

Now, however… hehe.
