"Darius Stone, receive these items!" Thor commanded loudly.
Darius solemnly grasped the Thunder Heart and the Thunder Dragon's Egg, lowering his head in gratitude. As for what Darius would use these items for, the Thunder God frankly did not care.
Now that he had his hammer back, he was in a hurry to return to his Divine Kingdom and plot out his next actions. He had laid low for far too long, but now that Mjolnir was back in his possession… hehe.
Thor then turned to his pope. "Come, we must discuss the state of the fellowship since last I came!"
Darius understood that he was dismissed, his task here completed. As such, he rose to his feet, bowed a final time, and left the altar room, passing through the winding halls of the temple like he was a seasoned usher as he exited the place.
The usher who had brought him in had been sent elsewhere by the pope, but from the look of excitement on his face, it likely meant that his act of securing Darius into the temple had yielded him at least some minor benefits.
Darius exited the temple to see various fanatics praying and crying as they waved their arms in the air towards the lighting flowing from the sky. Darius blinked to the opposite end of the street and turned to gaze at the phenomenon properly.
Even he had to admit, this was quite the moving sight.
He took his attention away from the temple and walked over to the cafe where he had asked Gunner and Xela to wait. There, he found them seated calmly at a table while everyone else had rushed out to see the awesome sight occurring at the temple.
After all, they knew the cause was likely Darius. As such, it was best to just wait for him as they were told, and voila, the man himself appeared with a soft smile on his face.
He placed his hand on the shoulders of the duo and nodded. Immediately, he used Group Teleportation to take them back to their inn. Since it was only 120 kilometers away, he was able to get there in mostly one session, though the trio had to walk the last few kilometers.
Darius led Gunner and Xela into their suite room, pulling three barstools for the trio to sit. Darius himself went over to the bar within the suite and mixed up some drinks, placing them before the three.
Like criminals celebrating a big heist, the three of them clinked their glasses and drank their mix. Xela only took one sip before pulling back and chattering her teeth cutely.
Gunner and Darius were more used to cold drinks, so they only breathed out audibly in pleasure.
After a spell of silence, Darius did the honors by opening the Supreme System and navigating to the Events tab. There, he checked up on the Event he had just completed.
[The Hammer of Thor - Event (Completed)
Duration: 10 years.
Description: The legendary hammer of the Thunder God Thor was lost after the divine war many eons ago. He has been desperately searching for it ever since, as his power is halved without it.
It is rumored he would grant almost anything to the one who brings it back to him. Hearsay also tells that his father, Odin wishes to reclaim the hammer for his own purposes to punish his son, while his mischievous brother would love to acquire the hammer to cause trouble in Thor's name.
Event details: Return the hammer to Thor, Odin or Loki for various rewards.
Event rewards:
- If returned to Thor: 30 Ability Points, 50 Skill Points, 1 Thunder Element Dragon's Egg, 1 Implantable Thunder Heart. (Completed)
- If returned to Odin: 50 Ability Points, 50 Skill Points, 1 Potential Unlocking Ceremony. (Skipped)
- If returned to Loki: 100 Ability Points, 100 Skill Points, the hatred of Thor and dislike of Odin. (Skipped)]
[Congratulations on completing The Hammer of Thor Event! All involved parties have been rewarded with 30 Ability Points and 50 Skill Points!]
Darius smiled as he sat down and allocated his AP and SP slowly. Gunner simply waited for Darius to finish so he could do his, while Xela copied Gunner because she thought it was the norm.
After allocation, Darius did the same for Gunner and Xela, carefully choosing where to put what. Since Xela retained all her Divine Maiden skills, and they were frankly amazing, Darius decided to strengthen them.
Once done, he called up all three menus and did a once-over of the changes.
