Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster Chapter 228: Grain of Sand

Chapter 228: Grain of Sand

Rael’s brows furrowed. “The what now?”

“I have decided your punishnt,” Anubis announced. “Instead of judging your sins, as I’m sure there are plenty, I will simply determine the Grade of your previous universe.”

How exactly is this a punishnt…? Rael thought, puzzled.

Burger grumbled. [Knowing an Outer’s universe allows another Outer to travel there. She can forcefully bring back so people you know, or even kill them. She can also corrupt its laws to an extent. Honestly… I think it’s easier to tell you what she can’t do instead.]

The mont Burger finished speaking, Anubis extended her hand.

“Take my hand, and I’ll carry out your punishnt.”

He stared at it for a few monts, then t her eyes. “And if I refuse?”

“Then I’ll send your soul to the core of the sun. I heard it gets pretty warm there for mortals.”

“You sure are a sly bitch, aren’t you?” Rael remarked with a sigh, then halted. “By that, I an I respect your creativity.”

“Boy, I’ve heard every insult there is. If you’re going to try to insult next ti, use sothing original.” Anubis giggled.

Without wasting another second, she reached out and grabbed his hand. Imdiately, he felt a warm, tingly feeling spread through his veins, but it only lasted a few monts before it was all over.

She let go of his hand, a frown appearing on her face.

“Why is your universe so underdeveloped?” Anubis asked. “At least it’s a mortal realm. Still, it’s only a Grade 2 universe… Do you not have gods?”

Rael shrugged, rubbing his wrist, which still slightly stung. “Look, woman, I don’t know. I didn’t have any powers like I do now. I was just a normal human.”

“Oh… yeah, that makes sense then,” Anubis replied with a nod. “The way the Grade of the universe works is that it combines the power of all individuals present. If yours is so low, that would an not many had awakened. Oh well… it does seem like a solid universe where I can sleep without being interrupted.”

With those words, she flicked her hands.

Despite the option appearing, and Anubis absentmindedly walking away, he didn’t accept yet.

Instead…

“Hey, how about working with ?” Rael asked. “I know you might be lazy, but why not be lazy in my world instead? There are delicious foods there, and all I’d ask of you is to be our guardian.”

“Hah?” Anubis turned to face him, surprise written across her face. “You’re trying to hire as your babysitter? I have better things to do such as—”

“Sleep?”

“No…” She pouted. “And even if I wanted to descend into lower worlds, I couldn’t. I’m too strong, and by going there, I’m only going to make the world pay attention to more.”

Rael tilted his head. “Hey, what’s the difference between the world and the universe? Don’t they both delete you?”

“Hmm? Well, yeah,” Anubis replied plainly. “But if you survive the deletion by the world, then you won’t be able to enter that particular world, or I guess in your human standards, planet. And if you survive a universal deletion… yeah, I don’t think you will. But you get the idea.”

[Budget encyclopedia,] Burger remarked.

Looks like I have two now, Rael replied with a chuckle, and before Burger could lash out, he ignored him.

“Is that it?” Rael asked.

Anubis nodded. “Pretty much. I just don’t want to be deleted by the world, because then I’d be on the universe’s radar. It’s so complicated stuff, I know.”

Yeah… Rael sighed.

Causality existed, the multiverse existed, and being deleted got you, well, deleted. That was simple enough to understand.

But even so, him being an Outer, and soone with such a high negative karma no less, was sothing he still couldn’t fully explain.

Anyhow…

“So is there no other way for you to descend safely?”

“Not at the mont,” Anubis replied. “I can probably summon an avatar, but it would take way too much ti and energy. I’m currently weakened and also a bit lazy, so I won’t do it. But…”

Rael tilted his head. “But?”

“There’s a way you can provide tributes for . Food, I an,” Anubis explained with a smirk. “In exchange, I could give you a blessing, maybe? A Lesser blessing this ti.”

“Oh? That works for ,” Rael replied with a slight smile. “But what would it take to earn your highest level of blessing?”

“A Supre blessing? Hmm… you’d probably have to be my kid or sothing,” Anubis said flatly. “Though I’m a vir—I doubt I have any kids running around. So no one’s going to get it.”

She was about to say virgin, wasn’t she?

[Yep.] Burger affird.

“I see… Well, what’s the highest blessing you could give to a human?” Rael asked one final ti.

“A Greater blessing. The sa one I gave to that old goose,” Anubis replied, puffing her chest. “But for that, you’d need to provide with the most delicious food in the universe.”

Pizza.

[Agreed,] Burger added. [Wait… why are we agreeing so much lately? Are you trying to gain my favor? I’ll have you know, we spirits may be genderless, but I don’t swing that way.]

Fuck off. Rael rolled his eyes. I could ask for a blessing for myself, but it’d just go to waste… After all, I already know how I’m going to deal with Diederich. Besides… there’s soone I’ve wanted to give a gift to all this ti.

“I accept,” Rael said with a smile. “I’ll give you the most delicious food I know. And in exchange, I want you to bless soone.”

Anubis’s brow rose. “Not you? Are you sure? If I bless soone who’s not an Outer and an actual resident of the universe, then that person’s causality is going to mirror mine, and they’ll probably be deleted.”

“And is there any way to bypass that?” Rael asked with a serious look.

“Hmm… yes, but I’d need to give them a progressive blessing. It’s just a blessing where I don’t grant all the power at once, so the universe or the world won’t flag it,” Anubis stated confidently. “And I give my word as the Sun God, Anubis, that what I said is the truth. If I lied, may my favorite bean bag chair be set on fire.”

He could tell she wasn’t lying because of the Primordial Sight skill, so he decided to test it out.

“Zafira Sutekh. She’s my wife, I want you to bless her and give her so of your power.”

“Sure.” Anubis skipped over to him and placed her hand on his cheek, then closed her eyes.

Soon, she reopened them. “Oooh, she’s fighting soone. They seem pretty strong.”

Anubis began pressing the air with a hum, then glanced back at him. “Okay… I selected progressive. Now, you said you wanted a Greater blessing, right?”

“Yep.” Rael affird. “Or higher if you’re feeling mighty generous.”

“Heh, no way,” Anubis replied, dramatically extending her finger forward, causing a single grain of sand to rise up and enter her nose.

“Greater blessing it is—Achooo!”

Her finger shot higher, then abruptly stopped, her eyes widening and her cheeks reddening.

“I-I-I…” Anubis stamred, her hands trembling in disbelief.

“I-I misclicked…”

apologies if the chapters ca off as lore drops 😀 I want to end this volu within the next 120 chaps and start with the much bigger arc.
