Ophis was extremely flabbergasted by these divine treasures, they were overpowered as hell, and the bones were mostly likely Quetzalcoatl remains to boot, truly this was something amazing. A blessing from the heavens ironically.
However, Ophis began to calm himself down, there were two options before him right now, and both would be extremely beneficial to him.
The first option would be obvious, and that would be to take these treasures for himself and use them to overpower his enemies and make hunting easier.
The second option would be to sell them on Pandora Black Market for extremely high prices. And become a billionaire immediately in the real world.
Normally the second option would immediately ensure him a new body, in the original world of course, however. This was a no-brainer. So Ophis immediately decides he will keep these items for himself. The universe was vast, within is a complex multiverse with infinite possibilities, as such there was an infinite amount of enemies as well.
He might be one of the rare 5% with 100% compatibility, but by the end of the day, he wasn't unkillable, two lives are all he gets in this fuck up world name Pandora. From where he came from mankind casually laughs in the face of God and constantly wins the battle of evolution time and time again. The Beyonders here were not any different at all.
So satisfied with the outcome, Ophis did the most sensible thing at this moment and began to use his telekinesis to gently take the divine equipment off the corpse of Quetzalcoatl, and after a minute or so, all five Sacred Divine Treasures were unequipped from Quetzalcoatl corpse.
And so Ophis, the Mountain God, and ruler of Mt. Voilet Sakura began to equip all five Divine treasures to his body, first were the four bracelets, the second thing was the shield, third was the necklace, fourth was the club, and last but not least was the crown or other words the copilli.
Ophis began to feel a tremendous amount of power flowing through his entire body, and all at once at that, however upon doing this, a series of notifications came before him.
[You have equipped The Copilli of Domination]
[You have equipped The Four Bracelets of Nature]
[You have equipped The Shield of 52 Ascension]
[You have equipped The Necklace of Rebirth]
[You have equipped The Unbreakable Macuahuitl]
Ophis was shocked at how strong he felt at this moment, especially because the power coursing through his entire body because of these Divine artifacts, made him feel like he could do anything.
Although he was humble enough to know that was far from the truth, he was strong, but not the strongest, as such he would have to climb his way to the top, and currently speaking he was still level one.
Hower at this moment, Ophis wanted to test his new power, so he looked toward the alter which was made from limestone and began to warp the earthly matter, and with his imagination alone, he began to change lime to sand, and sand to glass, there he created a full body mirror, all thanks to the "Bracelet of Earth"
With the mirror now created, Ophis began to look at himself, previously he looked like a humanoid alien, now, he truly looks like an Aztec God, Although there was one noticeable change. The equipment changed colors, and the copilli was not colorful like a rainbow anymore instead the feathers were black, neon blue, and neon pink.
The bracelets on his hands and ankles went from gold to blue, with the ancient markings carved into it, were now glowing pink.
Meanwhile, the necklace rubber was neon pink, however, the teeth around it were now glowing a beautiful neon blue. And the shield in question was now full black, with the marking being neon pink.
And finally "The Unbreakable Macuahuitl" was fully black, with the skull design on top adorned the color of bright neon pink, meanwhile, the blades in its inner parts were glowing neon blue.
All in all, the color scheme was now akin to that of his body. But there was something else, around his waist was a belt made from neon pink and blue shells, as it was holding a fully black loincloth that almost reaches the ground.
Ophis was surprised to see himself.
"Not bad, not bad at all... with this, I'm stronger than I was five minutes ago, but deeper preparation needs to be taken into consideration."
"But regardless of that, it's about time I claim my throne, so you need to get the fuck off."
Ophis said as he slap the body of Quetzalcoatl off his throne with his tail, and with zero remorse or respect for the dead, both arms still cross as he floats towards it, the bones did not break at all, instead they flew towards the temple walls as it slouches there for the time being.
With Quetzalcoatl off his thrones, Ophis took his rightful place as ruler of this mountain, as he sit on the comfortable chair meant to appease the Gods, and right after he did that, the throne began to transform and warp itself into a sinister form, more fitting for his comfort.
It went from lime to literal flesh and bones... as reality around the entire upper temple, began to warp, and it wasn't long before the throne transform into the open mouth of a giant black snake, with glowing pink eyes. meanwhile, the soft, and comfortable neon blue tongues of the snake began to transform into a fleshy spherical bed, that was ten times larger than your average queen size bed.
The flesh wasn't moist, it was just soft and extremely comfortable, meanwhile, the breath of the snake was like a scentless cold air that constantly blow upon its master when it breathes in from its skin, and exhale from its mouth, making the temperature within the mouth extremely cold. This temperature was of course the most suitable temperature for a Nagasaur, as a cold habitat is where they feel the most comfortable.
And last but not least, the entire red, and yellow scheme of the ancient Aztec city, became black, and neon blue to represent the new lord of the mountain. Well, the rocks became fully black and the paint was now neon blue.
Albeit the soil and grass on the ground became neon pink, even trees and plant life within the city began to change according to these three colors, including the entire geography domain within the ancient city. Although violet Sakuras and other plant life outside Ophis temple remain untouched.
Meanwhile, inside the temple, Ophis was now lying down comfortably in his nest, at this point, he was going to check out the Black Market of Pandora, however, at that moment, another notification came before him, including a holographic keyboard.
[You have claimed this mountain as yours]
[Please kindly rename this mountain, keep in mind the name will also come with a symbol as a way to mark your territory, and this symbol will also represent you from here and out a deity]
[Please Insert your name here ________]
'I see, well Mt. Violet Sakura does sound kind of stupid, hmm ok... let's make it simple, I shall name it after myself, after all, this mountain mines to begin with, so Mt. Ophis is the new name for this mountain."
With his mind made up, Ophis began to type in his name, and press enter to finalize it.
[Are you sure you want to rename Mt. Violet Sakura to Mt. Ophis, please keep in mind you won't be able to change it, until your next evolution]
[Yes] or [No]
'Yes.'
And like that, Mt. Violet Sakura became Mt. Ophis, but right after the rename another notification came before its ruler.
[The symbol chosen for you, is the symbol of the snake, The Ouroboros Mark]
And like that, a glowing tattoo, adorning the color of an ominous pink appears with a monstrous-looking snake eating its own tail manifested on the right hand of Ophis backhand.
'Ouroborous haa? Interesting... if I remember my history classes correctly, the mark of the snake, or the ouroboros for short is very symbolic, it represents the unity of all things in creation, even in destruction.'
'Hahaha... I like it... but with this out of the way, I can now focus on creating my special NPC, from there, I will revive the spirit within the necklace, and with those by my side, I will have assistance on the battlefield when I go to the wasteland, although I also need to buy some weapons and cybernetics for two servants, and possibly I can buy more equipment for myself as well."
'I hate spending cash like this, but it's an investment... I have a goal after all, and for that goal, I need to save up a lot of cash as well, let us not talk about the mandatory $1,000,000 a month to keep playing Pandora Online.'
'But if I raid high-class ruins, I can easily make enough money to purchase my desired dream body. Now that I think about it, I wonder how much the Mercury base bodies cost now, the last time I check it was over $50,000,000,000 seeing that its grants its user nigh immortality, along with shapeshifting capabilities due to properties it is made from.'
Ophis thought to himself, seeing that it's the most advanced cybernetic body on the market. However, to his surprise, Thaumela reach out to him and answered as such.
[Highly advanced Mercury base bodies, go for about $15,000,000,000 on the cyberware market these days, seeing the technology is over a decade old]
'Wait, are you serious?'
'If that's the case, then what are the most up-to-date bodies, that money can buy.'
[Gentetically modified ones, especially the Chimera series, although you can't buy that with money, as it's only available to military personnel]
'Men, the world truly had changed since my absence, but still, if Mercury base bodies sell for that much, then I might be able to see Minerva sooner than I had originally planned.'
[If the player desires, I can assist you with a saving plan; to speed up the process, for instance, I can split every fund you make by 50%, and place it in a saving account, while the main account can be exclusively for your needs, what do you say]
'You can do that?'
[Affirmative]
'Then please assist me in this matter, I want to see the real world again.'
