5844 Belated Discovery
If Ves had a choice, he would have preferred to reduce his dependence on the System.
He had done a pretty good job so far. He had managed to complete several successful mech designs and overcome numerous major issues without needing to enter the System space.
This not only proved that he was not only doing a good job at developing his own capabilities, but also ensured that he did not increase his enormous debt of karma towards the heavenly authority of the Milky Way Galaxy too quickly.
Alas, Ves felt that the current situation had become too dire for him to persist in his abstinence.
The rewards for success were too great and the price of failure was too painful for him to ignore the help that the Mech Designer System could provide.
Once he entered the System space, he steeled himself before ascending the stairs to the top of the mountain.
He did not take any detours to visit the Tree of Possibilities or the Divine Bazaar. He had spent a lot of Ascension Points in the past and hadn't worked hard enough to stockpile them again.
Aside from completing mech designs and fulfilling a handful of easy System Missions, Ves had not done anything else to build up his reserve of AP.
A part of him regretted that he had not prioritized the acquisition of Ascension Points as of late, but he had been far 10:11
too busy as of late.
As he reached the plateau at the summit of the mountain, he stepped inside the Sacred Temple and took note of the silence and tranquility around him. The place was empty as always.
Once he was done with looking around, he proceeded into the courtyard until he reached the Pantheon.
The statues of himself and his incarnations beckoned to him. It had been a while since he last took a proper look at his Status.
"Let's see how much progress I have made."
