Talent Swallowing Hero

272 Hall of the Monster Gods and Bestial Gods



‘Huh? New Buildings?’

Leo didn’t expect to be rewarded for accepting the Monsters and Beasts as his citizens.

‘I wonder what type of buildings I was rewarded with.’

With a curious look, Leo waited for the pillar to give more information on his rewards.

“A city leader should welcome all types of races if they want to join a city and having a myriad of races in the city will only make the city stronger in the face of crisis.”

Selphie, the elf fairy, explained why the city pillar unlocked two new buildings.

“True.”

Leo nodded as he understood, ‘If different races protect my city from an outside danger, not only can we eliminate elemental disadvantage and race suppression.’

Race suppression is a phenomenon where a high-class member could easily suppress a low-class member in the same race without doing anything.

[Hall of the Monster Gods and Hall of the Bestial Gods]

Soon, the names of the two newly unlocked buildings appeared on the city pillar, followed by their information.

Building Name: [Hall of the Monster Gods]

Effect: 1) All the monsters in the city will have a passive 10 percent increase in their battle prowess.

2) If any monster contributes to the development or protection of the city, they have a small chance of evolution or rank promotion..

Building Name: [Hall of the Bestial Gods]

Effect: 1) All the beasts in the city will have a passive 10 percent increase in their battle prowess.

2) If any beast contributes to the development or protection of the city, they have a small chance of evolution or rank promotion.

[Note: The Monster/ Beast eggs hatched in this city will have a small chance of mutating and awakening a bloodline or special talents.]

“It is completely different from the Hall of the Divine Gods.”

When he saw the names of the two buildings, Leo thought they must be used to awaken the talents and skills of monsters and beasts; however, after reading them, they realized they were different from what he expected.

‘It looks like these two buildings encourage the monster and beast citizens to contribute to the city’s development.’

Leo understood the true purpose of those two buildings after reading their information.

“Anyway, city manager, why don’t you buy a few living residences for every type of citizen?”

From the city pillar, the city leader or manager could buy the items required by a city and its citizens.

The reason why Leo bought the elf fairy was to manage the city.

Therefore, Leo gave the 70 million Hero coins to the elf fairy and asked her to do her job.

“It is my pleasure managing your city, City Leader.”

The elf fairy revealed an excited smile and hurriedly nodded.

“City Leader, are you planning to leave the city now?”

Suddenly, Selphie thought of something and asked Leo who was leaving the City Hall.

“I will leave after using my new talent [The World Traveler].”

Since the talent has a cooldown of one year, Leo felt it was better to use it as soon as possible to make full use of it.

So, he was not planning to leave the city for the next seven days and use his talent to enter a new grade 1 world.

“Okay. If you are planning to leave the city, I suggest you take this item with you.”

While saying that, the elf fairly placed her hand on the city pillar, and a scroll appeared mid-air.

“Huh?”

Leo raised his brows and curiously looked at the hovering scroll.

‘Ding,

Item Name: City Returning Scroll.

Effect: No matter which corner of the world you are in, you will be teleported to the city after tearing the scroll.

Note: 1) The scroll is bound to the Golden Hawk City, and only its citizens can use it.

2) A citizen can bring 99 more people with him. As for whether they were the citizens or non-citizens of the Golden Hawk City, it doesn’t matter.

‘Oh. Interesting.’

Leo felt the item was interesting and useful for him and his citizens and decided to keep one on him for emergencies.

Even though Leo could teleport 100 kilometers with a single thought, that place needed to be visible to him. Moreover, the world is so big, and it was quite convenient to use the City Returning Scroll to return to the city.

“I will take it.”

After taking the scroll, Leo left the core room of the city hall and entered his spacious bedroom.

‘Before I use my talent, I should bring Ryan and others to this city.’

Leo didn’t forget to bring his siblings and said he was the city leader of the floating city and asked them to keep it a secret.

At first, they were shocked; however, since they learned that their brother works for the Talent Swallowing Hero, they were less shocked and became citizens of the Golden Hawk City.

Since the benefits of becoming the citizens of the Golden Hawk City were much greater than becoming a citizen of other cities, Leo wanted his siblings to become the citizens of his city.

‘Finally, I finished meeting Ryan as a Talent Swallowing Hero.’

At the same time, Leo used this opportunity to put on a mask and meet Ryan; however, he only exchanged a few lines of conversation before leaving there, afraid that Ryan might discover his identity.

‘It’s time to visit my second grade 1 world.’

Even though Leo thought to enter the [God Ruins] and then to Everlasting City, he felt he should use his new talent to enter a new grade 1 world.

Of course, during his one-week stay in the grade 1 world, his floating city would be moving towards the Starlight city’s [Uncleared Lands] where the [God Ruins] is situated.

Moreover, to reach the Everlasting city, Leo had to go through the same path.

Therefore, he thought by the time he returned from the grade 1 world; his city would be reaching halfway to the [God Ruins].

‘However, before that, should I unlock a new system ability before activating my new talent?’

With a thought, a system notification appeared in front of him.

‘Ding,

Fragment of the God Stones: 5

Leo previously had two fragments of the God Stones and received three more from Arlo; however, he didn’t want to use them directly as it would be wasting their special effect.

‘Ding,

The host has used the special effect of the Fragment of the God Stone to reset the cooldown on his [Talent Swallowing Ability].

First, Leo used the special effect to reset the cooldown of his ability before taking out three Fragments of the God Stones and said, ‘System, I want to unlock the new system ability.’

‘Ding,

Consuming the three Fragments of the God Stones.

‘Ding,

Unlocking a new system ability will take a while. Please wait.

‘No problem.’

Leo didn’t stress over waiting for a while and thought, ‘Let’s enter a grade 1 world and increase my strength a little more for the next one week.’

‘Ding,

The host has activated his talent [The World Traveller]. The host will be teleported to a grade 1 Goliath Devil World.
