MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1107: Suggestion-1

Anthony stood utterly still, his heart hammering against his ribs with frantic intensity. Pure elation surged through him, painting a broad grin across his face. He hadn't anticipated this outcome; his actions were merely an expression of gratitude, deeply thankful for what had been bestowed upon him. After all, he often reflected on his past existence and contrasted it with his present life, and each contemplation was enough to fill him with unending thankfulness.

’How can people not show gratitude to ??? for a second chance at life?’ Anthony mused internally, remaining within the confines of his chamber.

His thoughts then drifted to those individuals to whom ??? had granted reincarnation, and he pondered their journeys. Had they squandered this precious opportunity, or had they surpassed all expectations? After a brief pause, Anthony shook his head, redirecting his focus back to the promised gift from ???, unwilling to dwell on matters beyond his direct concern.

’I am extremely eager for it,’ Anthony thought with anticipation. In prior times, he might have instantly sought the gift, without a moment's hesitation or patience. However, Anthony surmised that ??? was likely awaiting his ascent to the upper Galaxy before bestowing the gift, ensuring he would be adequately equipped to harness its full potential.

Indeed, Anthony was already overwhelmingly potent within his current Galaxy; no one could possibly challenge him. Even the clone of the Demon King, which had once dared to oppose him, now seemed a trivial threat. Anthony felt confident that even the Demon King’s true form would be no match for him now, such was the unshakeable belief in his present power and capabilities.

’I wonder what the gift could be?’ Anthony pondered, his curiosity as irrepressible as a child awaiting Christmas morning.

’Knowing ???, it is bound to be something incredibly potent,’ Anthony mused. After all, every single gift previously granted by ??? had been astonishingly powerful, defying all reasonable comprehension. Beginning with the Authority Of Information, then the Authority Of Severance, followed by Romulus, and then the Unchained – each subsequent gift was more preposterous than the last, fundamentally altering his perception of what was achievable.

As Anthony contemplated this gift, his mind inevitably turned to the adventures ??? might be undertaking, the incomprehensible quests or tasks that could possibly occupy such an extraordinary existence.

’Ah well, no matter,’ Anthony concluded, deciding to cease his rumination on matters far exceeding his current comprehension.

’Perhaps I should initiate my ascension immediately,’ Anthony considered. He held no particular concern for the Angels or the Demons; his loyal subordinates were tasked with their oversight, and with Aaaninja, Aura Nova, and Lucian also available, they could manage all affairs and ensure stability during his absence until their own ascensions.

But as Anthony contemplated ascension, his thoughts turned towards his parents and grandparents. His departure to a higher realm would mean leaving them behind, confined to the Apexus Mana Rank with no prospect of reaching greater heights – a ceiling that would forever limit their potential.

While his parents and grandparents had never voiced aspirations for anything beyond their current level, Anthony understood that the drive for greater power was an innate instinct for any cultivator. He had witnessed his father, Michael, erupt in laughter whenever he achieved a new level of strength, a pure, unadulterated joy that was impossible to fake or misunderstand.

Anthony’s Primordial Bloodline granted him the ability to bestow his blood upon others, permanently enhancing their innate talent while also instilling absolute loyalty towards him. In the past, Anthony had considered offering a drop of his blood to his parents and grandparents to elevate their talents significantly, but the superimposed effect of absolute loyalty unsettled him profoundly.

Although, in a world like Blue Planet, instances of parents betraying their own offspring for resources were regrettably common, and children could act similarly if given the chance, Anthony knew his family was unequivocally different and would never stoop to such depths.

Even if he could simply give them his blood without revealing the absolute loyalty aspect, the mere thought left a revolting taste in his mouth.

Anthony let out a sigh, his thoughts shifting towards the system as he inquired, ’Hey system, is there any method to nullify this particular effect?’

[Ding]

[Negative, Host. This is an intrinsic effect tied to the Bloodline itself; only ??? possesses the authority to remove it.]

The system responded instantly, its reply swift and unequivocal.

Anthony remained silent, absorbing the system's terse reply. He considered requesting ???'s assistance in this matter, but given that ??? had just promised him a gift, asking for another favor so soon felt rather opportunistic, even for him.

Though Anthony possessed the OP shop, allowing him to simply purchase the highest-grade talent pills or potions, he was acutely aware that his acquisitions were strictly limited by his current point balance. The talent imbued into his parents and grandparents through these purchases wouldn't elevate them to the absolute peak; indeed, it wouldn't even make them as gifted as Aaaninja and the others, leaving them considerably behind.

This reality dictated that he would constantly need to upgrade their talent whenever they reached a plateau, an unending cycle that would drain both his time and resources. However, by leveraging his Bloodline, he could circumvent this entire process, bestowing upon them immediate and immense potential.

[Ding]

[??? offers a suggestion]

Anthony's attention was instantly drawn back to the system notification, his focus sharpening with remarkable speed.

[??? states he will not remove the absolute loyalty effect from the Primordial Bloodlone itself, but will instead lift it exclusively for your parents and grandparents. In exchange, you are to provide him with two grandchildren within a two-year span.]

A flicker of disbelief crossed Anthony's face.

Two children, born in consecutive years.

Anthony's gaze lingered on the text, carefully dissecting every single word. He could, in fact, fulfill this condition; it seemed like a balanced exchange, no, more than balanced, considering his own family was the subject.

But... he himself would not be the one giving birth. He wasn't a woman, after all, which meant Vega had to be taken into consideration.

Vega, too, was not eager to have a child in the immediate future, and Anthony felt a pang of selfishness at the thought of making her bear not one, but two children, purely for his own benefit. He knew with certainty that if he presented this to Vega, she would readily agree without a second thought. Yet, doing so would necessitate an explanation linking this pregnancy to the enhanced talents of his parents and grandparents, and Anthony wasn't precisely the type to fabricate stories for Vega.

Anthony couldn't even recall a single instance where he had deceived Vega about anything. Should her inquiries probe into his hidden affairs, such as his reincarnation or the system itself, he would deftly deflect or skillfully evade the questions, but never would he offer a direct falsehood, as that was a boundary he had steadfastly refused to breach.
