Third POV
A palpable buzz of anticipation surged through the members of the Truth Order as they received a new notification in their group chat.
Task Notification:
[A task has been issued in the group]
[Task - Eliminate Alistair Illyria]
[The task can be done individually or in a group]
[Task difficulty - 2*]
[*Note - the difficulty rating is not calculated by ranks in the Truth Order]
1* - Tier 10 Demigods
2* - Tier 11 Gods
3* - Tier 12 High Gods
4* - Tier 13 True Gods
5* - Tier 14 God Kings
6* - Tier 15 God Emperors
The members stared at the message in disbelief. Just a day prior, Alistair Illyria was merely a tier 10 Demigod.
The sudden elevation to tier 11 suggested that he had either made a contract with a tier 12 constellation or, alarmingly, something even more powerful.
They recalled the Prophet's earlier discussions about the potential strength of the constellations, realizing that even the weakest among them could pose a formidable threat.
The initial shock quickly morphed into a sense of excitement as they processed the implications of the task.
The difficulty rating of 2* was a clear acknowledgment of the challenge ahead, yet it was manageable, especially for those with ambitions of ascending to higher tiers.
As they considered the rewards laid out for successful completion of the task, their excitement mounted further:
[Reward for completion of quest:]
Reward 1 - 1 High God Potion (one potion can elevate the strength of a tier 11 God to tier 12 High God)
Reward 2 - 2 God Potions (one potion can elevate the strength of a tier 10 Demigod to tier 11 God)
Reward 3 - 5 Demigod Potions (one potion can elevate the strength of a tier 9 Arch Mage to tier 10 Demigod)
[*Note - The highest contributor has the right to decide the distribution of rewards.]
The prospect of such lucrative rewards for a task deemed relatively straightforward solidified their faith in the Prophet and the Truth Order.
They felt a renewed sense of purpose, recognizing that the Prophet's knowledge and backing were invaluable.
The understanding that they had a tier 15 God Emperor as their foundation brought waves of confidence, reinforcing their belief in the organization's potential.
As they contemplated the rewards, a collective sense of camaraderie began to form.
They understood that the completion of this task was not just an opportunity to gain strength but also a crucial step toward securing their positions within the evolving hierarchy of power.
Each member began to consider their strategies and the potential for teamwork, sharing ideas and formulating plans to maximize their contributions.
Moreover, the prospect of working from both sides of the equation—gaining power through constellations while also undertaking tasks for the Truth Order—ignited a fierce ambition within them.
They no longer felt overshadowed by the constellations; instead, they had the tools and knowledge to navigate this treacherous landscape.
As they rallied together, a sense of unity blossomed, allowing them to see beyond the immediate task and focus on their long-term goals.
The group's dynamic shifted; members who had previously been hesitant or secretive about their ambitions began to openly discuss their strategies and motivations. They realized that the strength of the Truth Order lay not only in its resources but also in its members' willingness to collaborate.
The barriers that had once existed between them melted away as they shared their insights and experiences.
With the task set before them, they could feel the tides of fate shifting.
The organization would not only survive but thrive in the face of the challenges posed by the constellations.
They were determined to establish themselves as key players in this grand game, armed with the knowledge that they could elevate their strength rapidly and secure their futures against the looming threats.
In that moment, they understood that their choices would shape their destinies.
By eliminating Alistair Illyria, they could seize the rewards and solidify their status within the Truth Order.
As plans took shape and alliances were forged, the air crackled with the promise of power, revenge, and unity, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation that would reverberate throughout the Grand Magus World.
