The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 477: Next Upgrade

But just before he could inform Olivia to go ahead and kill Klaus so that she could level up, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Instead of killing that merman, the host can take him as a servant.]

Henry was a little confused after seeing that prompt. Of course, it was not as if he had not considered about taking Klaus as his servant. Instead, he just thought about the advantages and disadvantages of taking Klaus as his servant.

In comparison to the advantage that was available if Klaus decided to serve him, the disadvantages that were available were extremely high. For that reason, Henry was not willing to risk so much in order to get something that was not crucial at all.

As if the system could see through Henry’s thoughts, another prompt appeared in front of him.

[The host doesn’t have to worry about the loyalty of Klaus as long as he agrees to join your side. The host can simply make him sign an agreement with a death penalty as long as he goes against it.]

Henry was once again left speechless. After all, what kind of agreement was that? At the end of it all, even if Klaus decided that he was going to break the agreement, the consequences would have already occurred, what was the use of killing him then?

[After the host manages to upgrade the system to the next level, there should be a contract that should appear within the system store. The host can purchase the contract and make Klaus to sign it. As long as the contract is signed, there is no way that Klaus is going to be able to avoid the conditions stated within the contract.]

Henry was immediately enlightened. To say the truth, it was not as if it was kind of difficult for him to be able to get experts that had already reached the platinum rank in his territory. As long as the dungeon was available, it was not impossible for him to be able to create hundreds of platinum rank mutant warriors.

But of course, there was a matter of quality. As compared to ordinary humans, Klaus was definitely quite more powerful as compared to humans of the same level. Unless a human possessed a profession of SS grade and above, there was definitely no way that they could compete with Klaus in the same level.

Currently, the number of people under him that had SS grade professions and above was definitely quite low. Despite the fact that he had already been in four cities, the number of people that possessed the SS grade professions could not even reach up to 20. That was enough to be able to demonstrate how rare it was to be able to get a person who possessed the SS grade profession.

After thinking about it, Henry immediately decided that he was going to deal with the matter right now. So, instead of going back home to upgrade the system to the next level, he decided to do so right away.

For him to upgrade the system to the next level, he required one level one platinum rank mutation crystal. And currently, he definitely did not have any level 1 platinum rank mutation crystal.

Of course he could simply convert one of the two level 8 Platinum rank mutation crystals, but that would be a waste. So, it was better for him to look for a level one platinum rank creature so that he could kill and get the mutation crystal.

With that thought in mind, Henry looked at Klaus, but then shook his head as he looked towards the wave. Within that wave, there were several monsters that were currently not moving, maintaining the same position.

Of course, among the sea monsters that had come over, there were actually two that had already reached level 9 of the diamond rank. For that reason, the moment that the power level of all the creatures other than humans within the world improved, those two had also managed to reach the platinum rank.

Of course, with the power level that they possessed, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to do anything in a battle between Klaus and Olivia and the others, or the one that involved Ezekiel.

Additionally, there was actually no chance for them to resist at all considering that the wave that they were currently inside was controlled by Klaus. Since Klaus had not allowed them to go anywhere, then there was definitely no way that they were going to be able to escape from the wave.

The moment that the sea monsters noticed that Henry was looking in their direction, they immediately began trembling. Of course, the majority of the monsters that had already reached the gold rank and above had already gotten intelligence of their own.

Having already noticed that even the strongest among them, the leaders of the sea, had already been dealt with, how could they actually fight against them? At this moment, the moment that Henry looked towards them, they felt chills. At the same time, they tried to retreat, but no matter what, they were contained within the wave, and they were not capable of breaking out of it.

Klaus also noticed the commotion, but even then, he did not do anything. In any case, it was not as if he could help those sea monsters inside there. To him, those sea monsters were disposable. So, even if they were dealt with right now, he could simply get other ones as long as he managed to get out of here alive.

But of course, it was definitely quite difficult for him to be able to get sea monsters of high quality considering that there was a competition with his siblings on who was going to be the most powerful one within this world.

Henry did not say anything, but instead, he simply disappeared from where he was. The next moment that he appeared, he was next to the two sea monsters that were standing next to each other as a form of comfort for each other.

The two were giant sharks, possessing length of more than 10 meters. They looked extremely ferocious, especially those red eyes that were staring outside of the wave, towards the same direction of where Henry had been before.

The pupils of the two sharks immediately contracted the moment that Henry appeared in between them. Henry was currently surrounded by a small red film, obviously from the fire element. Whenever water tried to reach him, it would be immediately evaporated.

And due to his presence within the water, the water around him immediately began boiling due to the high temperatures. But of course, those high temperatures were not capable of affecting the two sharks considering that they had already reached the platinum rank.

Immediately Henry appeared in between them, they wanted to rush away from where he was, but they found themselves completely bound in the same position. And no matter how much they struggled, they could not move even an inch.

Henry did not say anything, and utilized the space element, and the void compression skill. The moment that he utilized it, he applied pressure on the two sharks, and the two of them were immediately ground into a bloody paste.

After that, he went ahead and picked the two mutation crystals, before he teleported out of the water. Due to the protection of the red film, he was not wet at all despite the fact that he had been in the water.

Henry looked at the two mutation crystals that he had collected from the two monsters. And without hesitation, he utilized one of them to upgrade the system to the next level.

The moment that Henry gave the permission for the system to be upgraded to the next level, one of the mutation crystals that he was holding in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Then in the next moment, a red screen suddenly appeared in front of him. On it, there was a countdown of 30 seconds to the system upgrade.

[During the next 1 hour, the system will undergo an upgrade to the next level. During this 1 hour, the system will be unavailable to the host as several changes would be happening to the system.]

[Within the next 30 seconds, the host is supposed to do everything that he has to do within the next 1 hour with the system before the upgrade starts.]

Those two prompts appeared just below the red screen that had appeared in front of Henry’s eyes. Henry squinted his eyes the moment that he realized that the system was actually going to be unavailable for him for the next 1 hour the moment that it was going to be upgraded.

Previously, the system had actually upgraded itself by taking the mutation crystal that he had received at that time. But even then, it did not become unusable to him. But in any case, Henry did not care that much considering that it was going to be unavailable for the next 1 hour, and not more.

As for anything that he wanted to do for those 30 seconds that he had been given, there was actually nothing. So, he decided to take care of other matters first, before focusing on healing Alicia.

With that thought, Henry simply ignored the screen that had appeared in front of him, and instead, he approached Olivia and the others. Of course, there was still a small distance between where Diana and Storm were currently watching over Klaus, and where Olivia and the others were.

It might be true that Klaus was currently imobilized, but in case he was capable of attacking, it was clear that the damage that he could deal was not something that Olivia and the others could handle.

"Are you going to kill me?" Klaus asked the moment that Henry arrived where he was lying on the ground. At this moment, he did not have any hopes of getting out of here alive.
