With Sebastian and Mira already moving to the new universe with their mories intact as they were his soulmancers, Max now had to choose 10 more people who he brought with him to the new universe with their mories intact.
Ofcourse
1)Asiva
2)Anna
3)Hazriel
Had to be on his list as there was no point in him having achieved anything if he no longer had them to celebrate with.
And since to separate mothers from their children would be cruel, Max decided to put
4)Judas
5)Gopal
6)Kreth
And
7)Leah
On the list as well.
Max felt it to be a little cruel to put Kreth on the list, since the poor boy had very recently found love and began living his life as a happy man, however, even if he did not put him on this list, it wasn't like he was going to continue enjoy living that sa life as if nothing happened.
Regardless of Max's choice, the history of the universe was bound to change and even if he excluded Kreth from the list, there was no guarantee of what his life would look like once the tower assimilation was complete.
" Please forgive my child, I'm doing it because without you in her life, Asiva would never truly be happy" Max said as he weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow through with this choice.
He also decided to add sisters in law
8) Ruby
And
9) Naomi
To the list, since although his brother did not request Max to make this decision, Max knew that without them he would be lonely in the new world.
If Max had more tokens, he would have loved to bring Jake, Amy and Kartikeya with him to the new world as well, however, he did not have 3 more tokens.
He also knew that with Jake, Amy and Kartikeya having matured considerably, his sister's in law were no longer too worried about them and would not be too hurt that their mories were altered.
Since they were not going to die or have their parentage change, but just rember a different version of events regarding their existence, Max begrudgingly chose to not include them in his list and instead went for Severus as his last choice.
Just like Sebastian, Severus was one of the most important people in his life and Max recognised his value as a trusted aide.
In a new world full of unknown dangers, he needed Severus alongside him, and hence he chose him as his 10th and final choice.
*************
( anwhile Rudra )
Contrary to popular belief, Rudra chose the [ Destiny Weaver ] skill as his reward, choosing an unconventional ability that did not improve his personal strength but instead allowed him to beco a puppet master just like Odin.
His decision shocked many as with Max choosing a useless reward, everyone expected the elder brother to choose a skill catered towards personal growth, however, he did not.
Rudra chose the Destiny Weaver skill as he understood the importance of having strong pawns in the ga that was to begin once they assimilated with the tower.
Although there were so who doubted the reasoning behind his decision, prompting him to reveal any information that he had which the others did not, Rudra said nothing and pretended to not be interested in getting any stronger than he already was and instead planning to find joy through manipulating mortals in the days to co.
Ofcourse, not many bought into his bogus reasoning which made them even more wary about making their choices, however, with a lack of better alternatives, they could only progress with what limited information they had.
***********
Once everyone else had made their choices, Max and Rudra received their additional suspense rewards that were not highlighted on the list.
For being the number one ranked contributor, Max was given a rare artefact called the [ Authority rge Token ].
[ Authority rge Token ] - Use this reward to rge your history with that of another god and receive twice as much karmic essence as you would when a mortal prays to only one of you.
Note- The rged identity must be under a third na.
The token did not say much, however, it was really one of the most important treasures that Max could have ever hoped to receive, as by using this token, he would effectively be considered as one entity with the god he chose to share his history with, aning that the two of them could proceed to climb the tower as one.
Naturally, his choice for rging his history was bound to be Rudra and with both of them working as one unit to climb the tower, they were more likely to succeed rather than doing it alone.
Additionally, when a mortal prayed to them under their rged authority, both of them would get karmic essence and even if they prayed to one of them individually, the other would still receive karmic essence.
It effectively ant that Rudra's followers would also help boost his strength and vice versa which would be a big leap in strength for both.
Finally, Rudra as his second reward received [ A lore pack ] which contained all the lore of the tower, the new world, the powers at play, their history and the way the new world worked.
It was a reward which was perfectly catered to him as a strategist and while it did not reveal hidden chanics like the information pack in the reward list, it was still a great additional reward to have in these uncertain tis.
