SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System-Chapter 56: Reaching D+ Stat Grade

Fifteen minutes have passed, and Ainsworth absorbed 10 moon crystals in the process.

When he absorbed his 11th moon crystal a few minutes later, he felt that not only did his viral energy increase and the virochondria in his body become stronger, but he also noticed that his entire body’s physical attributes had become better.

Not only that, his aura and mana pool had increased so he could now use Ultimate Freedom (SSS) and Freedom of Movement (SSS) a lot longer than before.

To confirm his progress, Ainsworth checked his system stat screen. However, this time, he only checked his stat attributes.

After confirming that his stat attributes had indeed increased despite him only increasing his viral energy stat attribute, Ainsworth looked at the moon crystals left in his system inventory.

He decided, "Well, the Church of Evolution had already obtained more than 10 moon crystals, so those are enough to complete the moon crystal requirement of Main Mission 2."

"The purpose of becoming an awakener and completing the Otherworld Mission is just to become stronger. Since I can use the resources of the Zombie Apocalypse World to improve my strength, I might as well make use of it rather than handing it to Earth Will."

Ainsworth secretly thought, ’It just so happened that the class given to me by the choice system is too OP. I only need to increase one stat attribute, and the rest would be increased to synchronize with the highest stat attribute.’

’At this rate, I could increase my power without even needing the Earth Will’s rewards and assistance. The choice system alone could increase my power, and it had proven many times that it could. At most, the only use the Earth Will has left is the fact that it can allow me to travel to Otherworlds.’

’Otherwise, if I also obtain the ability to travel to Otherworlds without needing to complete an Otherworld Mission, I can break free from the restrictions that an Awakener has and become an anomaly on Earth.’

’At that time, the Earth Will would become expendable and I wouldn’t need its help in becoming an SSS-rank Awakener. The only problem I faced now is the world limit of the Zombie Apocalypse World, since I’m not certain if Zombie King and Evolver King are the limit of this world.’

’If it is, then I can only increase my attributes to that of an Evolver King. Otherwise, no matter how many moon crystals and sun crystals I use, it wouldn’t be able to increase my power as I would have reached the power level limit of the world.’

’That’s also the main reason why the Earth Will plunders world origins from the Otherworlds. It was to keep evolving and transcending the limitations it used to have.’

’Earth was an unusual planet as it gained the ability to send Awakeners to the Otherworlds. Other worlds like the Zombie Apocalypse World didn’t have such ability, and because of that, they could only become the livestock used by higher worlds to plunder the world origin from.’

’And because of that, worlds like the Zombie Apocalypse World have a world limit, and a creature within it cannot become stronger than the world limit that world had.’

When Ainsworth remembered that each world has a world limit, he couldn’t help but ponder, ’Does Earth have a current world limit? Is the reason why the publicized strongest are SSS-rank Awakeners due to it being the limit of what Awakeners could achieve on Earth?’

’Or is it because none of the SSS-rank Awakeners have managed to reach the rank beyond it due to a lack the opportunity and resources to do so? There’s also the possibility that someone had already reached the rank beyond it, but it was kept secret and was never made public.’

’After all, only those who have access to top secret information knew whether there were more than 13 SSS-rank Awakeners or not. But so far, the public only knew of 13 confirmed SSS-rank Awakeners, and even the Edenbridge High School’s library only has information regarding that.’

’Anyway, my worries now are whether the world limit of the Zombie Apocalypse World is high or not. The problem of having impurities and a rampant zombie virus in my body due to absorbing too much strange moonlight is not a problem due to Pathogen Control.’

’Furthermore, the zombie virus within my body is completely within my control. It has even become a part of my body like the cells I have.’

’I can even use the impurities that I obtain from rashly absorbing too much moonlight to further convert it into viral energy. Pathogen Control was indeed the best evolution superpower that I could ever receive.’

’If not for the choice system rewarding me with the S-rank Evolver class, using the Zombie Apocalypse World’s resources to increase my power wouldn’t have been possible. After all, even when I have discovered this method, I still can’t use it to improve Rian and Dante’s power, so they would have to rely on the rewards we receive from the side missions and the Otherworld Mission.’

After deciding to use all his moon crystals just to increase his power, Ainsworth decided to leave his room first to inform Rian and Dante about it.

He had also taken out food supplies and any other useful supplies he had and gave them to Rian and Dante so that they could distribute them to Thomas and the survivors. Of course, he hadn’t taken out all of it. It was merely enough to last for this day.

Additionally, he also told Rian and Dante to make up new names for themselves that they would use in an Otherworld like this one. After all, Ainsworth had introduced himself as Arthur to Thomas and the survivors, and he planned to let Rian and Dante do the same.

One piece of advice given by senior Awakeners was to hide one’s identity in the Otherworld. They had mentioned that some weird artifacts and abilities could kill or curse someone just by knowing their name and appearance.

If possible, aside from changing names, it was even suggested to change one’s appearance. Another overly cautious senior Awakener suggested to even change one’s personality and mannerisms.

Although some of those senior awakeners were exaggerating it or were too paranoid, their advices do have some truth to it as there were bizarre worlds that have strange world rules and laws and in order to protect oneself, having a fake identity was a must.

The Zombie Apocalypse World wasn’t such world but to build a good habit for themselves, Ainsworth suggested Rian and Dante to do the same as he did and change their names.

Once again, it proved that having high Awakener rank would greatly benefit him and his team. After all, if he could gain information of the Otherworld where the Otherworld Mission would be held before his team would partake in the mission, they would know whether it’s a bizarre world that greatly required a change of identity.

After giving Rian and Dante some instructions and supplies, Ainsworth returned to his room. He had already told them that he wanted to try something and they’d continue their journey after he’s done.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Ainsworth took out the moon crystals and started absorbing all of them.

After an hour and a half had passed, he felt that his stats had improved greatly.

"Let me check my stats."

"Noice."

"Stat-wise, I’m already as strong as a Three-Star D-rank Awakener. Even if I’m an unranked awakener currently, I can still defeat Three-Star D-rank Awakeners easily."

"However, the more I become stronger, the greater the moon crystals I would need to consume just to reach the next stat grade."

Faced with such a problem, Ainsworth pondered for a while before he thought of a solution, "When the fourth main mission is revealed and my stats are enough for long travel, I can go to other countries in this world and establish several cathedrals of the Church of Evolution there."

"The more believers I have, the more tool men I will have. The more tool men I have, the more people I can command to do my bidding, and eventually, I can get more moon crystals and sun crystals."

"Worst case scenario, I can resort to absorbing all the zombie viruses in this world, but that can only be a last resort. The best scenario is that before the Otherworld Mission is completed, I would have reached the limit of this world. Otherwise, desperate times call for desperate measures."

As a last resort, Ainsworth had planned to absorb all the zombie virus that those zombies had. If that wasn’t enough, he planned to infect everyone with the zombie virus and harvest their lives and the zombie virus, eventually causing a genocide.

However, Ainsworth ultimately decided to just keep it as a backup plan if all else failed. Even if he didn’t care about the lives of the people in the Otherworld, he still didn’t want to kill needlessly, as he wasn’t that bloodthirsty.
