Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill

Chapter 909: The Missing Memories

The power ranks of the higher beings are rather easy to understand but very difficult to actually climb.

There are seven ranks in total, also called the Seven Steps, and each step is further divided between low, mid and high stages.

Most of the higher beings are merely at the 1st step, they just waste away their entire lives there.

After so many years, Evelyn has reached the high stage of the 3rd step, it could be said she is one of the strongest among the higher beings.

Except for a few old monsters among them, she is definitely at the top.

And it’s said that currently, Fader is the strongest higher being alive, even surpassing his own father and Zengis by quite a margin.

Being at the 4th step, the exact stage he sits at is unknown to most.

Even the rulers of other races such as asura, Crooked all are said to be at the 4th step or so, or so is known to everyone.

The gods or beings weaker than them aren’t even aware of such deeper knowledge, only by reaching a high enough rank can one come to know it.

After going over the knowledge he got after reaching the 1st step, Vritra looked back at the crying monk and replied:

"Right now, I am at the Pseudo 4th step, but I just don’t understand how to take that final leap." Vritra answered calmly, and the reply shocked the crying monk a great deal.

"Already?!! Just what did you do in that realm?" he needed several minutes to calm himself down, drinking a dozen glasses of water one after another.

Each step has a vast gap between them, it’s almost impossible to fight even someone of a higher stage, and it takes so long just to rise even one single step.

The crying monk had barely accepted the fact that Vritra had devoured nearly all the fragments already, and knew he should already be somewhere in the higher being level by now.

He himself was only at the 4th step, but then again, Vritra had spent a million long years in that sort of dangerous realm, so maybe it was normal.

Except for the crying monk, the others just couldn’t understand the rankings of the higher beings yet.

Instead they focussed on the seeds given by Vritra. As soon as they willed it, each seed was pulled into their bodies, and then they didn’t need to do anything else.

It didn’t need to be absorbed or need any long time, it automatically started merging with their cores on its own.

The whole process didn’t take too long, and completed on its own, this just showed how well Vritra had carefully designed them.

Twenty or so minutes later, all of them had finally calmed down and the changes had completely finished.

Ava and Gunter could already sense the vast increase in their power, they won’t have to slowly go through the demi god and god path at all, and could directly keep getting stronger from here.

While the nine others who were already gods also felt the sudden increase, and they broke free of all the old shackles at once.

The normal power system had been created in such a manner that the gods will always be servant to the higher beings, they could be killed with a single passing thought.

But now, everything is fine.

Fiona and Diana each sensed their halos strengthening.

Yasmine absorbed all three of the seeds, one merging with her, another with the Sun mythic halo and the last with the child growing in her belly.

"Actually, the reason you haven’t been able to enter the 4th step is because you haven’t created and proven anything of your own yet, something original that allows the universe itself to give you an identity. Once you get that ’Identity’ you will finally be able to break through."

The crying monk explained, a bit vaguely but in the best way he could manage to put it.

Vritra fell into deep thought, quietly going over it all and pondering the exact meaning of identity.

In any case, for now he wanted to relax and rest for some time, he could ponder it over carefully while doing so.

"But where is divine?" Vritra asked, and all of them just shrugged, none of them were aware.

’I wonder what his strength level is, 4th or 5th step? Or maybe even higher?’ he wondered and felt he should be at 4th or 3rd maybe when he was locked away.

He decided to meet and ask Evelyn about it later, right now she must still be caught up in that war so he didn’t want to disturb her just yet.

After chatting for a bit longer, the crying monk finally left, he had been through so much for just a single day.

He really just wanted to go back and get some needed rest.

"Mom-" Vritra called out and two women spoke out at once.

"yes?"

"Hmm?"

Then they both froze at once and looked at one another, Ava and Vanessa. The one more shocked between the two was naturally Ava.

Upon thinking again, Vritra hadn’t really called her mom or anything like that before, not even once, and she hadn’t even heard what he usually calls Vanessa either.

This felt a bit awkward for a moment.

Then clearing her throat, Ava smiled and looked at Vritra, asking: "Son, we had prepared many delicious things for you, would you like to eat them?"

"Yes, it’s been so long since I last ate something." Vritra replied, saying nothing more about earlier.

Ava was just so happy that he had come back, she ruffled his hair gently then while humming walked towards the kitchen.

All the women were fawning over Vritra, sitting close beside him and asking about various little things, telling him all about their time away.

Talking to his beautiful wives, hearing their melodious laughs again, feeling their warm presence again, it was really nice after so long.

Before long, Ava and the others had finally arranged the food for everyone, and they all sat together and started eating happily.

Finally, they were all back together again, the environment was joyous and they had nothing left to worry about.

Vritra laughed as he listened to everything that had happened in that war, the gods must have been so pissed off after getting fooled again and again.

And finally, they were killed off in such a manner.

Too bad, Vritra wasn’t there to experience it all himself.

There was still something he needed to experience for himself though, something he hadn’t gotten around to yet. At this thought, the illusory and slightly broken pill quietly appeared in his hand.

This held the memories that he had yet to remember from the love pill, he had obtained it the very moment they had become gods, but hadn’t used it yet.

Vritra didn’t use it in that realm since it could be dangerous, what if he disappeared into the world of dreams forever and never woke up, so he kept it and then almost forgot about it entirely.

Finally, he decided to go through it and experience the memories that only Evelyn possessed for now.

After eating he strolled around his lawn with his wives and finally returned to his bedroom, telling his wives that he was going to rest for some time.

Vanessa wanted to give some things to him but he asked her to keep them for now, after resting he would check them out properly.

Then lying back, he tossed the meds into his mouth without another thought.

Within moments, a wave of drowsiness hit him and soon Vritra was fast asleep.

His consciousness slowly drifted into complete darkness for a few seconds, before finally getting pulled towards a bright light.

Instantly, a film like scene quietly started to play out before him.

Vritra found himself as one of the two leads in that film.

He was living through it, it was a memory that had been missing and now it seamlessly merged back into place.

As his eyes opened, he found himself in a broken city, a scene after some sort of apocalypse, and except for one other person, there was absolutely no one else in the entire city.

The buildings were badly broken, some were still on fire and everything around was such a mess.

The distant growls of wild beasts could be heard, the lightning rumbled in the sky.

He looked up and finally saw a breathtakingly beautiful blonde woman standing there, her eyes filled with confusion and anger.

As if she had just come from some battlefield.

’Evelyn...’ Vritra thought, but the he from here had no idea about her identity at all.

Neither did Evelyn know anything about him either, they were complete strangers to one another back then.

Quickly, the scenes started moving forward once again.

There was a shortage of food, wild creatures everywhere and the weather kept changing abruptly.

Evelyn, like most of the higher beings, was rather haughty, and she wouldn’t even talk to him at first.

Her current image was the exact opposite, she even seemed to dislike him.

They both possessed none of their abilities or strength, just like normal people, as they tried to find a way out of that place.

Which proved to be nearly impossible and the danger was everywhere around them.

And thus, Evelyn had no choice but to reluctantly cooperate with him.

Although she was beautiful, Vritra still disliked her attitude so the two started off at quite the bad foot.
