Jhonny and crew started their journey from Purplehaze city to the holy city , as while they had a clear objective of what needed to be done , there was no exact time limit given to them for the job and the entire heist was yet to be planned.
They couldn’t use the city teleportation because all entries and exits to and from the holy city were logged , hence they were forced to take the long way out with having to ride anonymously for over 27 days to reach the desired location.
It was Bo’s first major mission after his recovery from the attack a few months back and although he was not near the power level of the other 3 in the group due to his break , this mission needed brains more than brawn and his experience in the field was invaluable.
He was in-charge of leading the group undetected to and from Purplehaze city as in his break he had been studying topography of Omega and knew all the monster zones , roads and hidden tracks with the back of his hand.
This was an incredibly useful skill for the group , as the journey was not by any means a short one and without traversing shortcuts and safe pockets , it would take forever to get to the holy city while consistently having to fight monsters and such.
On the way to the holy city however Jhonny and Bo started to talk interestingly about an up and coming student of their that had impressed both of them.
” That kid he’s just like Rudra , couldn’t even touch his toes three months back , but now he can do a full split no problems! What drive! “. Jhonny said smiling slightly as he was personally witnessing Max’s progress day on day.
Bo said ” Yeah , when he first came upto you and said that he wanted to train in combat , i thought it was one of those kiddie whimsical decisions where kids get interested in something for a day or two but drop it later , but i guess he was serious.
Although he has not started as young as we did at the mercenary academy , I’d say he is making good progress very fast. It’s like he is a natural , just like his brother”.
Skyla who was listening to the two converse couldn’t help but think about the little brat that was stuffing sweets in his mouth just two years ago at the new years festival and couldn’t beleive that he had grown up so much so fast.
Since the road was long and there was not much to do , the four chatted in length about the training and potential of Max Rajput as his future seemed boundless at the moment.

( Meanwhile Rudra )
On 11 am of day 8 , Rudra had his eyes set on the beleivers counter as he watched in anticipation for it to hit 1 million.

Rudra looked towards the existing batch of devotees and thought ‘ Alright lads , get the f out so that the next one can come in ‘.
But did not voice his thoughts out loud as he struggled to mentain his visage and perform his duties as a pope.
Naturally when the devotees asked for a picture after praying Rudra nearly snapped as his smile turned ugly and he said menacingly ” NO…. “
The devotees felt chills run down their spine as although looking at the Hades statue they got no fear debuff , but an angry Rudra Rajput was enough to give them a lifetime’s worth of nightmares as they ran straight out of the building.
Rudra chuckled as the next set of 15 devotees entered the room and performed the necessary rituals.
The second the 7th one completed the ritual , Rudra got the system notification for quest tier 1 completion.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : You have successfully completed stage one of the quest ‘Rise Of A Lost Relegion ‘ . Distributing rewards ….
Rudra felt gleeful in his heart when he saw this as immense joy erupted inside of him , However Rudra did not check the rewards instantly at the moment as he waited until the batch of devotees left to do so.
Closing the church for a quick 10 minutes break , Rudra signalled the guard at the door to not let the next batch in as he sealed the place all to himself for the time being and checked the rewards of the quest!
QUEST COMPLETION REWARDS :
+ 40 LEVELS
+ 10000 STAT POINTS TO ALL STATS
+ SKILL UPGRADE CARD
Rudra laughed out loud to see the rewards as it was a f****** windfall , it was the easiest level gain he had ever done and the +1000 to all stats was akin to gaining a lot of levels as well making his total gains completely exaggerated.
Rudra was living the Sigma life at the moment as whatever he seemed to touch turned to gold and the gap between him and the normal players was widening faster and faster as he was pulling away through unthinkable means.
Rudra pulled up his stats pannel

His strength had easily gone up by atleast 15-20% in one day and it was all while only politely greeting newbie players and praising a god.
It was the easiest level up he had ever done and should the world come to find out about this event , most professional players would probably die of envy.
Rudra content with his Stats pannel shouted loudly ” IM THE KING OF THE WORLD BABY! “.
As a big smile was plastered on his face.
When he realised how much most players would need to grind to reach the same heights as he did his smile widened as he grinned ear to ear and looked at Hades’s statue in the eye.
” Not bad eh? ” He said , as if Hades could hear him and then proceeded to check his other rewards .
Rudra pulled the description of the skill upgrade card
[ Skill upgrade Card ] ( mythic ) : Upgrade any one skill from your skill panel to its ultimate form .
Note : Cannot upgrade class specific skills.
Rudra was stunned silent for a second as he looked at the rating of the skill upgrade card .
” WHATTTT A MYTHICAL ITEM? “. Rudra spoke outloud as he felt his heart beat out of his chest , the item was just so exceptional.
Rudra quickly started to see how the item would upgrade his various skills and his heart would palpitate reading the description of every one of them.
Even the most basic skills like darkness bind became the most broken skills like Abyss of darkness which could seal and restrain enemies for days inside a prison of abyss.
Rudra could not even begin to chose as to what skills to upgrade , as by the time he saw how every skill would upgrade he felt regretful in not being able to use it on his class specific skills as while his class specific skills were already broken , with this card they would have reached the next level.
Nonetheless after 2 hours of careful deliberation and a closed church , Rudra finally closed on 3 possible choices to be made.
1) Eyes Of Truth ——> Eyes Of God ( Mythic ) : U can see everything you wish to see .
1) You can monitor enemy movement in different kingdoms by only thinking about them
2)You can see hidden treasures and traps in a 3 mile radius of yourself
3) you can see through any walls and barriers
4) you can see any information of any enemy , even god’s.
2)Solar Beam ——–> Hypernova( Mythic ) : Create a Hypernova beam that has a power equivalent to the sun god’s attack itself.
An attack with a power range betwee a peak rank 5 and a pseudo rank 6 attack.
Note : As the attack relies on the bound item sun god’s bracelet , the artifact maybe overloaded by handling this move and need to go offline for 1-3 hours.
3)Holy Lance —–> Angel’s Wrath ( Semi divine ) : Player level insufficient to read description , unlock to discover.
Rudra was in a huge dilemma as to what to do as this choice could easily alter the trajectory of his gaming career.
