The room fell silent.
Rod lay on the bed, letting out a long breath.
The sunlight outside the window shone through the leaves onto his face, a little dazzling.
The magical experiences of these days gave him a sense of unreality.
"System, where is Suzuka?"
"The remaining usage time for the wish ticket is six days, and she is currently sleeping in a world similar to the Throne of Heroes."
"I see, when it's time for lunch later, I'll call her out to enjoy it together."
Then came the part he was most looking forward to.
Rod asked in his mind, slightly excited.
"System, what are my quest rewards?"
"If you put me through all this trouble and don't give me some gold, I'm going to throw a tantrum!"
"Newbie quest settlement in progress..."
"Congratulations! You have obtained EX-level Authority: Absolute Contract."
"Congratulations! You have obtained EX-level Authority: Perfect Synchronization."
"Congratulations! You have obtained one unlimited wish ticket."
"Congratulations! You have obtained two A-rank wish tickets."
"After deducting the advanced wish points, you have also received two thousand wish points, which can be used for lotteries and copying abilities!"
"Congratulations! You have obtained the ability of Laila, one of the wishers: Wisdom of the Cunning Rat."
"!!!"
"Good, good, good!"
A series of glittering golden rewards almost blinded him.
Rod rubbed his hands, eager to check the details of the rewards.
"EX-level Authority: Absolute Contract: You can formulate any contract content. As long as the target person voluntarily signs it, then regardless of the target's power level, the contract content will be absolutely enforced!"
Rod stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up.
"This Authority seems to have many ways to be developed. Although it has the restriction of requiring the other party's willingness, 'being willing' is also willingness..."
"If I establish a force in the future, it can also guarantee the absolute loyalty of my subordinates. It's a good thing!"
Just this one Authority was enough to satisfy him!
Rod nodded in satisfaction and continued to look.
"EX-level Authority: Perfect Synchronization: You and your subordinates, all abilities, techniques, and items, will function with the same effect in any world, and all negative effects will be eliminated!"
"Oh? This means I can ignore differing rules and use my abilities, which is indeed a powerful Authority!"
Various abilities in the myriad worlds often depend on the rules of their own world, but this ability can forcibly turn unique into universal, which is undeniably powerful!
The unlimited wish ticket that followed would allow him to make wishes to any target regardless of level, theoretically capable of summoning any existence from the myriad worlds, but the premise was to ensure that the other party would respond, otherwise it would be a waste.
Rod murmured thoughtfully.
"In other words, if I want to make a targeted wish, it's best to think in advance of those existences whose needs I can satisfy to ensure they respond, or... the other party is the type of overly kind person who loves to help."
"However, the latter... I can't really think of many right now, so I'll keep it as a trump card for now."
The A-rank wish tickets were also for the same reason, with no immediate plans for use.
Rod then looked at the subsequent prompt.
"System, please describe the wish points in detail."
"Each time you complete a wish, you will receive a certain number of points."
"You can spend some points to exchange for wish tickets or participate in lotteries."
"You can also materialize the target person's abilities, techniques, etc., as entries, and spend wish points to copy, plunder, or even delete them."
"D: 100, C: 200, B: 400, A: 800, S: 1 depending on the situation."
"Note: The rating is only relative to the corresponding single world."
Rod stroked his chin, glancing at his meager 2000 wish points.
"So, currently, I either choose to copy an S-rank ability or choose to directly draw a lottery..."
Without a plan yet, Rod continued to look at the last skill.
The System's ability allowed him, after fulfilling a wish, to randomly obtain one of the other party's skills.
Although Laila and the others were in danger saving him, they ended up giving him a wish, allowing him to get a skill for free, which made Rhode feel a bit conflicted.
[Wisdom of the Cunning Rat: The insight mastered by a Pallum who crawled out of hell, allowing them to remain calm and seize an enemy's weakness even in desperate situations.]
"It's not a skill, magic, development ability, or technique, but an abstract ability like this that can also be acquired?"
Rhode's thinking was suddenly broadened.
"If that's the case, then what about attribute points? Or even those abstract talents from other worlds?!"
Countless names and abilities flashed through his mind, and he was even a little impatient.
"No rush, no rush. The System doesn't have the ability to traverse myriad worlds yet. Let's focus on the current characters first."
Rhode quickly thought of a few targets in his mind.
"If we're talking about the strongest person I can access right now, it's undoubtedly Alfia, but with my current strength, I don't even have the qualifications to safely approach her, let alone fulfill her wish."
"The Freya Familia's individual strength is also high enough, but they are all a bunch of lunatics."
"Which means, for now, the most reliable and efficient options are still the Loki Familia and the current Astrea Familia…."
The Astrea Familia has a total of eleven people, and the highest level currently is Alise, the captain, at Lv.3. Their overall strength doesn't seem strong.
However, Kaguya from the Far East, at Lv.3, was able to defeat a Lv.4, and while Ryu at this time hadn't gained her future overpowered skill, she had already earned the famous title of [Gale].
The most abnormal, though, was probably Alise's skill named [Righteous Red Blossom].
So, the top priority now is to find a way to trigger the girls' wishes.
With him there, the Justice Familia would certainly not meet its demise.
Ryu will probably find it difficult to obtain the skill named [Astrea Record] in the future, but it's possible he could get a replica skill through wishes.
So, should he directly copy their skills with points?
He was tempted for a moment, but Rhode decided to give up on that for now.
After all, compared to paying, he still preferred getting things for free!
Rhode waved his hand.
"System, give me an S-rank draw!"
He chose to trust his luck!
[1600 Wish Points deducted.]
A dazzling sea of stars spun in his mind, eventually forming a blurry human silhouette.
[Ability direction: Physical Enhancement.]
"?! !"
Rhode blinked in surprise.
Could it be that his wish really came true?
I'm currently lacking physical enhancement type talents!
I'm not greedy, just a Big Mom's Iron Balloon would be fine!
However, the silhouette's body directly dissipated from the lower half, finally settling on the eyes.
[Area selected: Eyes.]
"....???"
Thump thump thump—
"Rhode, come eat!"
The cheerful and enthusiastic call of the Amazon girl Iska came from outside the door.
Rhode took a deep breath, slowly lowered the hand covering his eyes, and the three-scythe-shaped Sharingan in his crimson pupils gradually faded.
"Oh, coming."
