Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 777 A New System

Chapter 777 A New System

-----

Drake felt slightly confused, as he decided to ask the System as always. As robotic as she was now, she still should answer any questions he had like always… Although now without the sweet and warm voice from before.

"System, can you give me a small roundabout about the Stats and everything else?"

[Understood]

The system quickly emerged within a separate System hologram, as she immediately answered his question. Drake quickly began to ask away as the System answered swiftly after.

"Where are all my Skills… Did I lost the power of separating into pieces, shapes.h.i.+fting, and creating slimes and other things? What about generating scales of different minerals and all of that? Is it all lost?"

[The Skills are lost and sacrificed, however, the base power of Skills that directly changed the Host's body structure had been merged permanently into the host's body. Therefore, the power of the host had not decreased and all usual capabilities the host's body had were enhanced and never lost. Your ability to self-divide and more is still there, alongside many other things. Technical skills and crafting skills remain as essential knowledge. There are also Divine Abilities you can unlock by spending Divine Power to further enhance these powers.]

"Oh! I see. That's a relief… Hmm, let's see…" Drake quickly concentrated, as he began to connect with the minds of the slimes spread everywhere. It seems that they were all fine. They were still mortal creatures though except the one he gave to Larzak, who was enjoying a feast with him and other lizardmen leisurely. His slime clones were all fragments of his soul, separated from his own, and therefore weren't affected by what happened to him. Drake was relieved they were all alright. Blue, the slime with Hector was also fine, helping him out in various things.

It seemed there was a lot that he had to update for, and also, the slimes he left with his family inside of Fuyu had been interacting with everybody, calming them down about him sleeping. It seems they had already alerted them he had woken up, so his family was rus.h.i.+ng here at any moment.

"What about the other Stats? Can you give me a roundabout? Also why should I spend Divine Power if it's my total power as a G.o.d? You're implying I should spend the very power that makes me strong to gain new perks? How can I regain it?"

[The Stats are simply so. Due to the numerical formulas being overwhelmingly big, it has been deemed better to show statistic based in letters, from E to SSS as the highest. Currently, compared to all G.o.ds, these letters are your stats. They will slowly increase as you become stronger. Of course, there are other powers that Magic and Divine Abilities grant.]

[Divine Power is part of your total power as a G.o.d, but it is also an expendable resource that must be used for you to grow stronger. Mana is still there for you to conjure all sorts of mortal-realm magic or techniques and other things, which has become near endless in that regard, but anything from the G.o.d-realm and above will require Divine Power.]

[Divine Power cannot be regain automatically as easily as Mana, it cannot be self-regenerated, and it must be earned through the faith of believers towards you as a G.o.dly figure, or through absorbing divine materials or divinities through the [G.o.d] Unique Skill, which gives you an advantage over other G.o.ds that must do more complicated things to acquire Divine Power instead of directly absorbing and a.s.similating it as you can do.]

"I see… So I gotta find areas with a lot of divine power and just absorb it away? Sounds easy enough I suppose." Said Drake. "However, what about everything else? Can you help me out? Like… Magic Affinities and Divine Abilities having letters as ranks as well?"

[Magic Affinities before becoming a G.o.d were all enough to conjure all mortal realm magic over time through leveling up Skills. However, leveling up Skills has grown obsolete after you've reached a realm beyond mortals. Now, they're cla.s.sified in Ranks, you may increase the Ranks by spending Divine Power and also through acquiring Divinities. Abilities are similar. Your only Divine Abilities are your Unique Skills. They can also be upgraded through Divine Power up to SSS Rank, each Rank costing larger quant.i.ties of divine power to upgrade]

Drake heard everything attentively while rubbing his chin, he seemed to understand better how things worked now. It seems all Affinities and Divine Abilities had a hard level cap of SSS Rank, and it went from E Rank to SSS Rank, so it was E, F, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. They were 9 Levels in total starting from the bottom, E Rank. But two of his Divine Abilities were already maxed at SSS and the other two were at A Rank, so they were not so bad. The best thing was that he could upgrade his other two Unique Skills though, something he never thought possible before. Drake quickly began to wonder what they could even become if he upgraded such amazing Unique Skills all the way to SSS Rank…

[The Upgrading Power that the Host has by using Divine Power over Magic Affinities and Divine Abilities is also unique of the System. G.o.ds in this world can also enhance their divine and magical powers through spending Divine Power, but not in such easy ways as the host can do so… Other G.o.ds can also have Divine Abilities but the host can easily upgrade them, while G.o.ds are often stuck with the current rank of their Divine Abilities or might have to completely sc.r.a.p them and create new ones at higher ranks using various resources and divine power]

"I see, so everything is way simpler and better for me, I understand now…" Said Drake with a rather c.o.c.ky smile, as he began to realize that things were not so bad as he originally thought. Although… thinking about the System quickly took away that smile, as he became more serious.
