Talent Swallowing Hero

Leo saw an image of the black-coloured stone on the mirror screen and could not help but feel like he had seen an oasis in the middle of a desert.

It was none other than the ‘God stone’ that could even make the Supreme Heroes go crazy.

…

[Diamond] grade item from the [Treasure room].

1) God Stone x 1 (20 million treasure points )

Item name: God stone.

Usage: A rank 9 hero can become a supreme hero after using it.

Information: An item that was even valuable for the beings from the grade 3 worlds.

…..

Unlike the previous sections, there was only one item in the [Diamond] section, and the moment his eyes landed on the item, the mirror showed the information about the item.

‘Wait a second.’

However, after seeing the usage of the item, Leo frowned.

‘Didn’t the old remnant spirit say I can use it break my slave seal? Then why is it not included in its information?’

Nevertheless, Leo still bought the ‘God stone’ because he knew how valuable it was._-.

<After the discount, the God stone costs 17 million treasure points>

Soon, 17 million treasure points were deducted from Leo’s account; however, he was still left with 14.5 million treasure points.

After Hermax admitted his defeat, his 15 million treasure points got added to Leo’s 16.5 million treasure points and became 31.5 million treasure points.

‘Swoosh’

As soon as the payment was completed, a black stone came out of the mirror and fell into Leo’s hand.

‘Such a small stone is capable of making supreme heroes go crazy.’

Leo revealed a slight smile at the small black-coloured stone in his hand.

‘I will ask the old spirit about the God stone after purchasing the items from the [Platinum] section.’

Since he still had millions of treasure points, Leo decided to buy the items from the remaining section of the [Treasure room].

‘Ding,

The system detected the ‘God stone’ in the host’s hands.

‘Ding,

The host can use the ‘God stone’ to upgrade the system. Do you want to upgrade the system?

Just as he was thinking of opening the [Platinum] section of the [Treasure room], Leo received a couple of system notifications.

‘System upgrade?’

Leo was pleasantly surprised.

‘Ding,

Yes. After the system upgrade, the system will unlock new features, and even the yearly cool-down of the ‘Talent swallowing ability’ might come down.

The system informed the benefits he would receive from upgrading the system, which obviously tempted Leo.

‘System, the old remnant spirit said I can break my slave seal with the help of the God stone. Is that real?’

To him, System was very knowledgeable and wanted to know whether he could break the slave seal with the God stone before deciding whether to break the slave seal or upgrade the system.

‘Ding,

The God stone can even break the seals placed by a supreme hero.

‘Really? Then I want to break my slave seal.’

Seeing the system notification, Leo was excited and decided to break the slave seal.

‘Ding,

However, it is too much waste to use a God stone to break a slave seal.

‘Huh?’

Leo frowned and replied, ‘System, you do know how painful it was to bear this cursed slave seal, right?’

Generally, having a regular slave seal would not be painful; however, Leo killed his slave master, and thus he got cursed with a ‘Forbidden curse’ that damaged his soul by 50 percent.

It would be back to the same 50 percent damage no matter how much he heals his soul.

‘Ding,

The system knows very well; however, did the host forget the system’s main objective?

‘It is to make me the Strongest God.’

How could Leo forget the system words back when he activated the system?

Leo barely survived one day after another by slaving inside a manticore’s mine during that time.

‘Ding,

After the successful system upgrade, I awakened a special ability similar to ‘Talent swallowing’. So, the system suggests the host upgrade the system.

‘Huh? An ability similar to ‘Talent swallowing’?’

To Leo, the ‘Talent swallowing’ ability changed his life completely. So, he was tempted.

‘But, I afraid I might not hold onto the pain if I can’t break the slave seal.’

Even though he was tempted to have another ability similar to ‘Talent swallowing’, Leo knew he should be alive to enjoy that ability.

Therefore, he still decided not to upgrade the system and was determined to break the slave seal.

‘Ding,

Host, after the upgrade, the system becomes powerful enough to suppress the slave seal from a supreme hero, or I can even share your pain. Isn’t that enough reason to upgrade the system?

Leo understood one thing from the system’s back-to-back notifications: ‘ The system wants an upgrade badly.’

‘Phew’

Taking a deep breath, Leo replied, ‘Fine. If not for you, I would have not endured the pain from the slave seal. So, I will upgrade it.’

Leo was grateful to the system and felt it should repay it by upgrading it.

Moreover, in the end, from the system upgrade, he would be the one who gets all the benefits.

‘Ding,

The host used the ‘God stone’ to upgrade the ‘Talent swallowing system’.

‘Ding,

It will take one day for the system to upgrade. Please wait patiently for the new version of the system.

Soon, the system started upgrading and asked Leo to wait one day.

‘I hope my ‘Talent swallowing’ ability’s cooldown decreases after the system upgrade.’

Even though Leo didn’t know what type of system features would be available after the upgrade, he hoped for a decrease in the cooldown time.

Leo was even willing to instantly give up on becoming a ‘Supreme hero’ using the God stone. So, he was looking forward to the completion of the system upgrade.

‘Even with the God stone, I can become a Supreme Hero; however, upgrading the system is not something I can do on my own.’

Even though Leo could instantly finish his revenge if he became a supreme hero, Leo wanted to be the most powerful being behind the ‘Supreme hero,’ and it would be possible with the help of the system.

The more features the system has, the more powerful it would become.

‘Now, it’s time to clear the [Platinum] section of the [Treasure room].’
