Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !

[Calculation of contributions in progress…]

Maxime temporarily ignored the breathing method that had just appeared in his mind, and pricked up his ears when he heard this voice of the system.

Of course, it was the voice of the dimensional battlefield system, which differed from that of the world of Eternity.

Its voice seemed more masculine, while Eternity’s voice had a slight hint of femininity.

Maxime knew nothing about the origins of these systems, but in any case he couldn’t wait to get the Eternity points he was going to be able to earn!

That was the main reason he was originally fighting here!

Kavasta and Adrian also heard this voice, and both were also looking forward to the points they were going to earn.

It was like receiving your salary at the end of the month, no matter how many times you received it, you were always looking forward to that moment.

[Analysis of the number of kills in progress.]

[Analysis of the number of allied people saved.]

[Analysis of the risks taken.]

[Analysis of the player’s mentality.]

"Risks and mentality? Does that count too?"

[Analysis of the player’s courage.]

[Analysis of combat prowess.]

[Analysis of the player’s degree of genius.]

"What are all these parameters, it’s so strange..."

[Analysis of impact on the battlefield.]

[Analysis complete.]

Suddenly, a notification window, very similar to Eternity’s, appeared in front of Maxime.

[You have received 1826 Eternity points.]

But Maxime’s reaction was not particularly excited.

He had just realized that he did not know the value of Eternity points at all.

"So Maxime, how many points did you receive?" Kavasta asked with some curiosity.

Adrian was also looking at Maxime at that moment.

"1826 points."

On hearing this figure, Kavasta and Adrian looked at each other strangely.

Maxime didn’t know how to take it.

"Is that good or bad?"

Kavasta thought for a few seconds about the answer he was going to give.

"1826 points... That’s an exceptional reward." Kavasta finally replied, which reassured Maxime.

He was even jealous.

He had never received even half of Maxime’s points.

"Then why the long face?" asked Maxime, still sensing something was wrong.

Kavasta stared at Maxime.

"Maxime, do you know where the dimensional battlefields appear from?" he asked without answering Maxime’s question.

Maxime shook his head.

He was only a high school student, how could he know so much?

Kavasta took a deep breath.

"This is normally something that is only taught at university, but I’m going to teach it to you here because I think you will accomplish exceptional things for the human race in the future. At the same time, after what I’m about to tell you, you’ll have to make a very difficult decision."

Then Kavasta began to explain, as Maxime looked on, very confused.

"The dimensional battlefields represent the places where the war between the Omega and Delta universes is taking place."

On hearing this, it didn’t particularly shock Maxime. After all, he had been fighting Daraks for several days, so this idea had already occurred to him.

"But what does my score have to do with this truth?" asked Maxime.

"Don’t worry, I’m getting to it," replied Kavasta immediately, with a very serious face.

"These dimensional battlefields were all opened up by the Delta universe, the universe we are facing. If they win, we can expect an immediate invasion of the Delta universe, or an invasion that they will plan."

"You can think of them as a kind of inter-dimensional bridge that can teleport an army."

"Currently the number of dimensional battlefields from which they can invade us is already extremely threatening. So much so that humanity can fall at any moment."

Adrian, who was nearby, was not surprised, but Maxime was extremely shocked.

He knew that the human race was in danger, but not to such an extent!

Time was already running out!

The entry point to this dimensional battlefield was right in the city center!

An immediate invasion of the Dravak race, of this single battlefield if the human race lost, could cause the destruction of the city of Nansoy.

This was also one of the reasons why commanders on dimensional battlefields had to be very strong, in order to be able to contain a potential invasion to some extent.

There was also the possibility of preventing defeat at the last moment, at the cost of disqualification from the title of commander.

"So humanity is in danger of extinction?" Maxime said aloud, despite himself.

Kavasta nodded heavily.

"Exactly."

"And meanwhile, there are races from the Omega universe, who are our allies in this war, who dare to intimidate our human race?"

Maxime couldn’t believe it.

And thinking about it, he was mad with rage, so much so that he clenched his fists tightly.

"It’s true." said Kavasta without showing the slightest expression.

He himself had been holding back his anger for a long time, and now knew how to hide his emotions.

Because of course, only cowards would not be furious when hearing about the situation of the human race.

"It’s been more than 10 years since these battlefields started to appear, and the problem is that even if we manage to defeat our enemies, the battlefields don’t close."

"Generally, after a year, for a yellow-level battlefield, a new battle starts and another army has to be sent in. That’s why victory isn’t so important; defense is what matters most."

Kavasta’s explanations frustrated Maxime to no end.

How many humans had died without anyone knowing about it?

If it wasn’t to avoid general panic among the civilians, how could these valiant soldiers die so discreetly?

"But there is one situation where we can close a dimensional battlefield. In that case, if the Delta universe wants to reopen this battlefield, they will have to pay an extremely painful price."

Maxime calmed down a little and guessed where Kavasta was going.

"The Eternity points." he said solemnly.

Kavasta nodded.

"Indeed, except that the amount needed is enormous."

"It takes 1500 Eternity points to close a yellow-level dimensional battlefield. However, these points cannot be accumulated; they must always be used all at once after each battle."

After Kavasta finished speaking, silence fell in the meeting room.

Adrian didn’t dare say anything, because even he would find it difficult to make this decision.

1500 Eternity points represented an enormous fortune.

"Take a look at the shop first, then you can make your own decision." Kavasta finally advised in a light tone.

Maxime agreed; he couldn’t make a decision carelessly.

As if his thoughts were heard by the system, the shop appeared before him in the form of a holographic touch panel.

Several tabs could be selected, including physical enhancements, talents, techniques and skills, equipment and artifacts, and finally special bonuses.

Maxime went through each of these tabs.

Seeing so many things, Maxime’s eyes were shining.

Every single thing sold in this shop was definitely extremely valuable!

Kavasta and Adrian looked at Maxime at that moment, because they themselves had "only" 532 and 300 Eternity points respectively, so they had many choices in the shop, but only items that did not exceed the amount of their balance.

Yet it was already very good, most soldiers would only have about 30 to 50 Eternity points, while most regimental captains generally only had 150 to 200 Eternity points.

Hence the colossal amount that Maxime had at that time!

Time passed quickly as the young man with the blond hair pondered.

"So Maxime, what are you going to do?" Kavasta asked after giving Maxime a few minutes to think.

Maxime looked up at Kavasta.

Those few minutes gave him enough time to make a decision.

Kavasta and Adrian looked at Maxime, waiting for his answer.

"I..."
