Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes-Chapter 121 --First Meeting with Alice

The seed of suspicion had begun to take root in Alice’s heart.

More and more, she felt that Daniel’s extraordinary performance was somehow deeply connected to the honorable Crossbridge. At the same time, her curiosity toward Daniel only continued to grow.

After a moment’s hesitation, Alice closed her eyes and began to pray silently in her heart.

"O great Lord Crossbridge, your most devout follower Alice humbly offers this prayer."

...

Sensing Alice’s prayer within his mind, Daniel didn’t hesitate. He immediately selected one of his avatars and activated the Divine Temple.

As the avatar entered the Divine Temple, Daniel felt even more aware of how valuable these avatars were.

Thanks to the connection between him and his avatars, they could even exchange items freely with one another.

In other words, there was virtually no difference between his real body and his avatars—

with just one exception:

Only Daniel’s main body could use [Time Stream].

Inside the Divine Temple,

Alice once again offered a sincere blessing.

Daniel gave a slight nod in response, signaling his acknowledgment.

Perhaps because this god appeared approachable, Alice no longer felt as constrained and cautious as she had in the beginning.

"Honorable Lord Crossbridge, I’m about to complete my 2-star Star Upgrade Quest," she said with bright eyes and a face full of eager anticipation.

"All my clanspeople are proud and honored by my status as a devotee of a god."

She gave a simple report of her recent activities, her expression full of admiration as she gazed up at Daniel seated on the throne.

"You’ve done reasonably well," Daniel replied.

The moment Alice heard his praise, her face lit up with joy. After a moment’s pause, she ventured a tentative question.

"Lord Crossbridge, there is a human in our world named Daniel."

"He also possesses extremely formidable power. I believe this is something I should report to you personally."

After speaking, Alice bowed her head respectfully.

She merely reported the situation.

What the god chose to do—or not do—with that information was far beyond her ability to question.

If her god showed no interest or chose not to comment, Alice would not press the matter further.

On the other side, upon hearing Alice’s report, Daniel couldn’t help but feel amused.

He truly hadn’t expected his own devotee to take notice of him under his human name.

But upon further thought, it made perfect sense.

After all, his recent feats had already stirred up a huge commotion across the myriad races. Even if someone didn’t want to know, it would be difficult to remain unaware.

At the same time, Daniel realized it was time to take on a separate identity—

one he could use to communicate with his devotee on a more equal footing.

After all, always playing the role of a god made certain conversations difficult.

Suddenly, he recalled the reward he had received upon completing his Star Upgrade Quest—

the Divine Temple Keystone.

Perhaps... it was finally time to build his own Divine Temple.

However, gods were not allowed to directly build temples themselves. They required a representative.

And who better to act as that representative... than himself?

As that thought occurred, a faint smile spread across Daniel’s lips. His tone also became more casual.

"My devoted Alice, you are quite perceptive.

The Daniel you mentioned is indeed my chosen successor, and in the near future, he will inherit my divine mantle."

"It seems he has performed well enough.

Since you’ve brought him up... perhaps now is the time for you two to meet."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Daniel summoned his real body into the Divine Temple once more.

His avatar remained seated on the throne, while his true body appeared beside Alice.

Alice noticed Daniel’s sudden appearance and greeted him with a gentle smile.

"It’s an honor to meet you, Alice of the elven race," Daniel said with a polite smile.

"Lord Crossbridge has likely already informed you of my identity. I have inherited His divine legacy and now serve as His representative."

"I’m also the strongest among the younger generation of humankind."

As he introduced himself, his tone was calm and confident.

Alice, on the other hand, felt all the pieces of the puzzle finally fall into place. The confusion in her heart was now fully resolved.

So that was why Daniel was so powerful—

He was the future inheritor of a god’s divinity.

But... if even a god had chosen an inheritor, didn’t that mean this millennial Apocalypse was far more terrifying than any before?

Taking a step back, it was worth noting—

The world didn’t have just one god like Lord Crossbridge.

What if the other gods were also choosing successors?

Alice felt as if she had just brushed up against some divine-level secret.

Could it be that even gods couldn’t remain uninvolved in the coming millennial Apocalypse?

And what sort of plans were they laying?

Even someone like her, an elf, had been chosen to serve as a god’s devotee.

Did that mean... the entire world was caught in the gods’ grand schemes?

Alice drew in a quiet breath, startled by her own thoughts. Then she quickly returned to her senses, realizing she should properly introduce herself as well.

She offered a soft smile, her voice sweet and respectful.

"It’s an honor to meet you as well, Lord Daniel.

My name is Alice. You may call me that directly."

"I believe you already know—I am a devotee of Lord Crossbridge."

"Though I’m not exactly sure... which number devotee I am."

Daniel nodded, his smile remaining warm.

"Alice, in truth... you are the very first devotee chosen by Lord Crossbridge."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Daniel turned his gaze to the avatar seated on the throne.

He opened his backpack and took out ten pieces of a rare material—Starlight Shards—and respectfully placed them upon the altar.

"Praise be to you, great Lord Crossbridge."

"These are the rare materials I have collected. I now offer them to you."

On the throne, Daniel’s avatar gave a slight nod.

A moment later, the materials on the altar vanished.

Alice, watching the scene from nearby, took it all in—and her heart was genuinely moved.

Come to think of it, she had used Lord Crossbridge’s power quite a bit recently...

And yet, she had never once made a sacrificial offering.

But even Daniel, the god’s chosen inheritor, was offering precious materials in reverence. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Then as a mere devotee, wasn’t she being terribly neglectful?

The thought filled Alice with guilt.

Even though her god had shown no signs of displeasure, Alice felt that she needed to remedy the situation.

She didn’t want to incur divine dissatisfaction over such a small matter.

At once, she dropped to her knees and began to pray earnestly.

"O great Lord Crossbridge, I am currently in the middle of my 2-star Star Upgrade Quest and cannot yet spare the time."

"Please grant me a little more time. Once I complete my quest, I will immediately offer you the finest materials I can find."

Daniel stood beside her, silently observing the entire scene.

He was fairly satisfied with Alice’s response.

At least his subtle reminder hadn’t gone to waste.

On the throne, his avatar gave a small nod and spoke:

"My devoted one, from now on, meeting Daniel is the same as meeting me."

"The millennial Apocalypse... may be upon us very soon."
