Chapter 90: Chapter 90 - Massive Boosts
[ Merging of the soul and body has been completed. ]
[ The process of upgrading your body has been completed. ]
I blinked absentmindedly for a moment before exclaiming, "Haaah."
"Wasn't this supposed to be excruciatingly painful and agonizing enough to be fatal? Then why is it already finished? Or is this the calm before the storm?" I pondered for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief as clarity dawned upon me.
'She was toying with me, wasn't she?'
Realizing I had been duped by an omnipotent goddess, I couldn't help but chuckle.
'At least she is responsive like this. This indicates that the goddess is not some entity that considers itself the only thing that matters, nor is she utterly deranged.' I thought while my mind itself calmed down which was supposed to be almost destroyed a moment ago.
'And to think that, I was actually able to befriend an Omnipotent Goddess... Maybe not befriend but still it is a huge jump from having a world ending demon god watching me to a world ending demon god watching me but I have a beautiful omnipotent goddess also watching me.'
'The only difference is that one is trying to take advantage of me and other one... may take advantage of me but still at least she will help me in various dangerous situations.' I ended my thought as I got back to the matter at hand.
"Alright then, this signifies that the process is entirely complete. Now let's examine the effects," I declared and first scrutinized my hands for any noticeable differences. I observed that my hands were slightly larger and appeared more luminous than before.
Subsequently, I examined other parts of my body. While not all of them exhibited distinct changes, a careful inspection revealed subtle alterations here and there.
'Okay... Some changes are perceptible, while others are not. Nevertheless, they have all been modified. If my physical attributes have been enhanced, it follows that my stats must have been upgraded as well.' I accessed my stats to identify any new changes or modifications.

"WOOOOOW," I exclaimed. "What is with this huge difference!!!"
'It's like an entirely different power level. All the stats got upgraded, all of them have increased more than tenfold compared to their previous values. And that's not all; my formerly meager luck has also increased to 50 from a paltry of 4... What luck."
"Firstly, my potential has risen to Godly, a level of power and potential hitherto unheard of. The true ancestor might also have possessed it. Still, such a substantial increase is beyond imagination. At most, I anticipated a 30 to 60-point increase MAX. But who's complaining?"
"Secondly, I thought that level ONE had stats that could reach up to 100 at most. But this wasn't 100... this was 50 points more. AND that meant my strength was already at the next level. With the power and strength I possess now, I am confident that if I were to confront a Level TWO individual in the Expert Realm, I could defeat that person if I used my full strength."
I hadn't yet examined the new section, so I turned my attention to the spells section, where all of my spells were displayed.
This is quite convenient for me, as I might forget most of the spells and wouldn't recall their true powers. However, I wonder what would happen if I had too many spells. Would the system display them all, or would some become invisible due to their power level?
As I was contemplating the numerous recent changes, the bell suddenly rang, and Arthur appeared.
[Sir, there appears to be someone calling for you outside the villa.]
"Can you show me any pictures or videos of that person?" I inquired.
[Yes, Sir. One moment.]
In the next moment, a large blue panel materialized in front of me, displaying the view of my front porch. Standing right in front of the door were two individuals. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a younger woman, who was being caressed at her waist by the person beside her.
"Arthur, can you identify them?"
[Certainly, Sir. One moment, please.]
[Searching the database, identifying under The Golden Arey Section.]
[Identification Complete.]
[The middle-aged man is known as Francis Hoffman, and the woman beside him is his wife, Lora Hoffman.]
[Francis Hoffman is the owner of the hats business named the Hoffmans. His current net worth is over a hundred million dollars and Lora Hoffman is Francis Hoffman's second wife. Currently, she is unemployed and Her net worth is estimated to be between 40 and 80 thousand dollars.]
I was quite impressed by the AI system integrated into this house. If I was correct, this was done a long while ago, so the AI system should already be considered outdated. I need to upgrade it at the first opportunity. But for now, let's address my uninvited guests.
"Arthur, inform them to wait and that I will be out there in a few minutes."
[Certainly, Sir.]
'Sometimes, it feels like I have an English butler with me, but that only enhances the experience.' I got up, only to notice that I had grown significantly taller than before.
My physical state had also undergone considerable changes - I looked quite muscular, to be exact. I noticed that I was drenched in sweat, so I used my already torn t-shirt to wipe my body as much as I could before descending the stairs and opening the door to greet the nearly unknown visitors.
I scrutinized both individuals more closely. Francis was a bit older, in the mid-age category, with a bald spot at the center of his head. His face was also somewhat scrunched and not particularly handsome enough to be with the attractive lady beside him. However, that could be explained by the expensive-looking items he possessed and his net worth.
Then I focused my attention on the woman beside him. She appeared to be in her late twenties, with a waistline that could turn heads. She had a beautifully rounded face that looked quite mischievous, combined with her ample assets in the front and back.
She seemed too attractive to be with someone like the man next to her. Given her age and the way she was looking at me, I surmised it might be due to the man's wealth.
Most women her age don't naturally marry significantly older men without a definitive reason. Moreover, the man didn't look strong or handsome enough for any woman of her age to be with him... based on my experience.
"Hello, nice to meet you both. I'm William."
