I frowned.
"So Voldemort barely had decent subordinates… but of course Sauron comes with entire armies…"
It wasn't fair. One Dark Lord got a handful of traumatized wizards in masks. The other got orcs, balrogs, ringwraiths, dragons, and literal doomsday war machines.
But that also meant: the moment I completed Sauron's template, I would have the kind of force Asgard would fear.
And Odin was absolutely going to start a war in the Nine Realms eventually. He always did. He was Odin.
I closed the Death Eater tab — I didn't have enough points to waste on mediocrity.
"Only ten thousand points," I muttered. "Barely anything."
The system chimed softly.
Main Method of Growth: System QuestsRewards vary from:─ Points─ Items─ Abilities─ Character shards─ Rare treasure chests
"Shards?" I blinked. "Like… gacha?"
Another tab opened automatically.
Character Shards:Collect X shards → Summon or purchase characterShards obtainable from:─ Daily Sign-In─ Quest rewards─ Treasure chests─ Random events─ Killing certain enemies
The daily sign-in system shimmered invitingly.
Daily Sign-In:Possible Rewards Include:• System points• Character shards• Random skills• Rare artifacts• Crossworld treasure chests• Template fragments• Summons• Mystery items
"That… doesn't feel balanced at all."
A treasure chest could literally drop a random power from any world my templates touched — including Middle-earth, Harry Potter, Marvel, and the future ones I hadn't gained yet.
I leaned back, exhaling.
The system obviously expected me to become something dangerous. Something world-shaking. Something that didn't just survive Odin's eventual war—
—but dominated it.
Two Dark Lords in a row.
Maiar blood.
Ultimate Dark Magic talent.
Necromancy.
A growing army waiting in the Sauron template.
And now a system that rewarded me for killing strong enemies.
I couldn't quite suppress the grin stretching across my young face.
"Fine," I said softly. "If the universe wants me to become an evil queen…"
The shadows curled around me like affectionate pets.
"…I'll become the most terrifyingly beautiful one it's ever seen."
