Chapter 656 Rudra''s Choice Rudra had three choices to chose from and all three of them seemed extremely lucrative to be had however of the three the least promising was undoubtedly Hypernova.
The move had limited practical applications eventhough its power was undoubtedly phenomenal and while it would be a great addition to Rudra''s arsenal ,pared to the other two options it just paled a notch.
It was a very close choice between angel''s wrath and eyes of God for Rudra however while eyes of God was a mythic rated skill , the Angels wrath was a semi divine move.
This was a clear advantage that angel''s wrath had over eyes of God and should Rudra chose that move it would undoubtedly be his ultimate move that could maybe even take town tier 5 enemies .
However , Rudra did not think that it was the best choice for him given the circumstances.
When he first recieved the sun god''s bracelet he learnt it the hard way that although he was recieving these ultimate moves he could not always support it while being at such a low level , his body would give out and he would suffer weeks if not months of debuff
The same went with the holy Lance , even till date his body could not fully support that move and using it already stretched his body to its absolute limits. Hence should he upgrade to the angels wrath move there was a good chance he may die performing it.
Also theck of information really bothered Rudra as he considered himself to be a master strategist and not a gambler , he was aware that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush .
The eyes of God was already an excellent skill and the practical applications of the move were uncountable , moreover the move was a passive and could be used constantly unlike one time moves such as Hypernova or the Angels wrath.
Hence taking a deep breath Rudra decided that taking the god''s eyes was the best option of the three as he upgraded his eyes of truth skill to the Eyes of God.
Rudra instantly felt a searing pain spread through his eyes as he could feel them burning and itching , he could see light dancing infront of his eyes eventhough he was sure that they were closed shut as he felt every single nerve in his eyes work at full capacity as they throbbed and pulsated violently.
For a full 2 minutes Rudra endured the pain without making a single sound , until the pain started to slowly recede and his vision recovered.
The moment he opened his eyes , Rudra''s entire perception of the world altered as he felt like he could see everything and everyone as nothing could escape the view of his eyes.
Just a casual nce outside and he could see the thousands of individuals that had queued up outside the church and he could easily read the information and stat pannels of each and every one of them as he pleased eventhough they were seperated by a wall and several hundered meters of distance.
As Rudra looked into his reflection on the clearmarble floor , he noticed that his usually dark ck eyes had changed to a hazy grey color as his eyes became as vast and mysterious as the sky with a contrasting shine and depth inside them.
As Rudra looked beneath his feet he could see the ancient ruins buried beneath the city and could urately see , theyers of dirt and mud that seperated the new city built on the mounds of the old one buried 3 kms below surface.
Rudra felt omnipotent and the amount of information that rushed into his brain was almost overwhelming , but he embraced it all as he searched for any and every treasure nearby , finding many hidden pieces that were yet to be found in Purplehaze city , however none that were worth his time.
Having tried out the new eyes a little , Rudra sucked in a breath of cold air as he realised what an excellent decision he had made. While the other moves were only good for giving him a killer move , the eyes of God was a key for him to achieve way beyond the confines of a single move.
If luck favoured him , he would get even better skills than Hypernova and angels wrath with the use of the eyes of God in the future.
Content with his choice , Rudra pulled up the next portion of the '' Rise Of A Relegion '' quest as he understood that it was the fastest and easiest way to earn unimaginable power.
-------
Ultimate Level Quest : '' Rise Of A Lost Relegion ''
Time Limit : unknown
Difficulty : immeasurable
Rewards : ????
Description : You have sessfully started a relegion , but can you really grow it from the ground up to its past glory?
Stage 2 : Obtain 20,000,000 followers
Progress : 1,000,008/20,000,000
Stage 2 rewards : Levels +80 , all stats +3000, + ????
------
Stage 2 was to obtain 20 million followers which was essentially a 20x difficulty from phase one , and Rudra sucked in a breath of cold air upon seeing the rewards.
In practicality the difficulty of achieving this quest really was immeasurably high , and had it been a normal yer and not Rudra who was doing it , it would most likely take them years if not decades to ever recruit a million followers.
Most would not have the fund to even start a proper church , much less the charisma to have people lining upto join the relegion even if it came with some perks and rewards.
He/She would most likely need to recruit preists and pdins one at a time and would be lucky to see 50 people join in a day if they could pull it off.
Moreover with the yer himself not being a respectable pope , the higher level yers would never ept his authority and the church would never have a bnced power structure.
Currently the fame and fortune that Rudra enjoyed was actually the fruits of a lifetime of gaming career in Omega where his deeds had made a name for him amongst the yerbase who were now ready to jump into anything endorsed by Rudra.
Not only that , his position as one of the strongest yers was unshakeable amongst the light faction and he was also the king of a country whose poption absolutely loved him.
For amon yer to be a king , or to be epted as one of the strongest of all yers out there was a task that was astronomically difficult in the first ce and hence although Rudra felt that the power-up he recieved was for nothing , it wasn''t actually the case at all.
Rudra did a mental calction and realised that it would take him atleast 6 months toplete phase two of the quest and after that he would be more than halfway across tier 4.
Feeling motivated to get it done as fast as possible , Rudra opened the gates of the church once more as he decided to get the process started again.
This time , he was also the one that was praying alongside the 15 worshippers as he felt that he should atleast thank Hades for all the power ups before leaving his duty to some cardinal and retiring for the day.
However little did he expect that the moment he would put his bloody hands on the statue that he would be pulled into a seperate dimension once more and be face to face with Hades.
Sitting in the exact same posture as the statue Hades now looked incredibly more powerful than thest time Rudra had saw him with his body emitting the same ck smoke that Rudra''s did when he activated the aura of death , however Hades''s smoke was much more thicker and much more mysterious.
Looking at Rudra with a smile , Hades said " Wee my pope , We have a lot to talk about... ".

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )
Dronacharya could not beleive his luck that he was forced to sign a system contract with the NPC necromancer and now he needed to steal the cover page of the demons diary for him.
Turned out the necromancer was not actually a Lucifer worshipper and was someone who would sneak into hell to kidnap demon babies and brainwash them into bing his ves.
For the necromancer the demons diary was his key to usurping the throne of hell and his foolish ambition knew no bounds.
He seemed to underestimate Lucifer and his power and now dronacharya was forced into submitting to that mad bas****
Although dronacharya cursed his luck for this turn of events , in this dark turn he could also see an opportunity as he started an borate n to scam the necromancer out of the books cover page once he had delivered it to him and fulfilled the system contract .
Making his way to the holy city , dronacharya also started to scheme on as to how to steal the cover of the demons diary.
