"I'm The Goddess of Time and Space, Nebulus." Said the red goddess with a smile.
"So that's your name, huh?"
"Yes. And to answer why we chose you and Hiro was just plain luck." Nebulus said.
"So I was just chosen off the street randomly?" Ryan asked.
"Well, Ryan, I know you're not pleased with us, and we'll tell you everything, but it's a bit of a long story, so bear with us," Nils said, trying to be straight with Ryan.
"Okay... I'm listening."
"Good the first thing you need to know about our planet, Tertius, is the never-ending battle with the other Gods." Said Nils.
"And the only way for a God to be expelled from a planet is if their people or creations are eliminated. Our creations are what tether us to this plane and if a God fails to create a new creation they will cease to be."
"And as you can tell my dark elves can't reproduce as fast as the other races. And over the millennia the other races have whittled away my people faster than they can reproduce."
"Why did you create your Dark Elves that way then? If you're having this problem." Ryan asked with a confused look.
"Well, our race gets a benefit naturally of living longer and has a better chance of absorbing mana better than the other races with the lower reproduction rates. Quality over quantity, you might say." Nebulus said while wagging her pointer finger in the air.
"And at the beginning of Tertius, all the Gods were neutral towards each other so my Dark Elven grew with little issues. It was only a few millennia after we had a few new gods forced their way onto our planet and created their creations. The two worst being the humans and the demons." Nils said.
"Well, not all the human Gods are bad. It's just these newer ones want all the other Gods killed." Nebulus added.
"Back to the point, you know that you can get stronger by killing anything on Tertius?" Nils asked.
"Yeah. What I don't understand is how this can help us." Ryan said, shaking his head.
"Well, not every being on Tertius can absorb mana at the same rate as you can." Nils said as she dropped that bomb on Ryan.
"So you're saying that I can absorb mana more efficiently than the natives of Tertius?" Ryan asked in a state of shock.
"Correct. About 90 percent of the world can only absorb 1 percent of the mana that they get from slaying their foes. The other 5 percenters can get 2 percent absorbing mana. Then the luckier ones are the 3 percent that can absorb 5 percent mana." Nils said.
"Then there's the cream of the crop. The Masters are 1 percent of the world's population and can absorb 10 percent mana of everything they slay, next are the Grand Masters which are .5 percent of the world's population and they can absorb 13 percent, then there is the Elite that are .03 percent of a population that can absorb 15 percent mana and lastly, the Demi-gods, which are 0.001 percent of the population. They can absorb 20 percent of anything they can slay." Nebulus added.
Ryan gulped again, "So you're saying I can absorb mana like a Demi-god?"
"No Ryan, you absorb it at a higher rate than anyone else on Tertius," Nils said.
"How come?" Ryan asked.
"That is because you're a summoned. A God or Goddess can only summon one being at a time from another planet when there's a planetary equinox. So if our champion is lost, we have to wait until the next equinox before we are able to summon a new champion." Nebulus said with a smile.
