Chapter 791: New system
“Why do I have to eat this pill?” Zeus asked looking at the pill.
“Actually, this is the system that I have prepared for you, but you will only be able to activate it after swallowing that pill without breaking it. I’ve put a lot of effort into creating it.
Of course, you don’t have to eat it if you suspect I have mixed something strange into it that could endanger your life.”
Hearing these words, Zeus showed an arrogant expression as he spoke: “I won’t die even if I want to. This little pill can’t do anything to me; I’ll try it.”
Then Zeus pushed the large pill into his mouth, tasting its bitter taste and feeling its smooth surface over his tongue. With a little difficulty, Zeus swallowed the pill.
“…” He waited for a few seconds but noticed no changes in his body, so he turned his gaze towards Jayden and asked:
“I don’t sense any changes, and no text is appearing in front of my eyes like that book. Are you sure it is working properly? Have you tested it before?”
Jayden was still as calm as ever, a small smile on his face as he answered:
“It will definitely work; just give the pill a little more time to be absorbed by your body, then it’ll show its true effects.Once we reach the mortal land, the process will be finished by then.”
Hearing these words, Zeus nodded.
Then, without saying anything more, they began to fly towards the mortal land. Jayden was only flying at half his original speed, so Zeus had to match it; he was just buying some time.
The pill that Zeus had just eaten did have the system just as Jayden had told him, but it was much more than that. Jayden had mixed a large amount of demonic energy inside it in a suppressed form.
It was many times higher than what Jayden had injected into Hera’s body.
If Zeus had broken the pill in his mouth, then the plan would have failed, and he would have noticed the demonic energy; then Jayden would have to throw all his plans away and fight with Zeus.
But now, when the pill was already in Zeus’s belly, the demonic energy would start its work discreetly, and Zeus would just ignore the small changes he would feel in his body.
By the time they arrived in the mortal land, the demonic energy would have affected even Zeus’s mind.
Jayden had converted more than half of his energy into demonic energy and then passed it to Zeus’s body, so he wouldn’t be himself for quite some time, and the words that the system tells him, he would do them at any cost.
‘Even with all that, I can keep Zeus in that relaxed state for a little time. He is one of the strongest beings I have come across so far, but this time would be more than enough to humiliate him.’
Jayden thought, after some time, even with their speed slowed, they had successfully arrived over the mortal land.
Just then, Zeus remembered something: the pill was yet to take complete control.
“Before, you told me that the energy I saw in that story- you have a way to create an entire army of strong men who can use that energy for me. So when are you going to start?”
Jayden had already forgotten about this; after all, he never planned to do anything like that. After a moment of thinking, he replied:
“After this adventure, I will start the creation of that army for you.”
Zeus nodded as he swept his gaze over the mortals. For him, all these people were nothing more than bugs; even if they were all to die right this instant in front of him, he wouldn’t care at all.
The two of them landed slowly on the ground. Zeus’s body automatically changed to one that was similar to the humans.
Just as Zeus was about to ask another question, he suddenly felt his head shaking lightly. Then, all of a sudden, he felt as if his mind was melting, and a strange type of energy filled his being.
Even though this strange change was occurring in his body, it didn’t hurt him; it just made him feel a little lightheaded. Then he returned to his senses after a few seconds.
“What just happened?” Zeus muttered as he looked around, confusion evident on his face.
But just then, the thing he had wanted to see for quite some time suddenly appeared; it was a feeling when one meets their favorite actor.
“The system… It really appeared in front of me!!” Zeus muttered and began to read it carefully; it was a language he could understand easily.

-THE GREEN HAT SYSTEM-
[NAME]: ZEUS
[SPECIES]: GOD
[ABILITY]: NONE
[GREEN HAT]: 1
[RANK]: NEWBIE (0/100HP)
[HP]: 0 [POWER]: 10
[HEALTH]: FULL
________________
Zeus read all the details and found a few things confusing. So, after reading them over and over again, he looked at Jayden and questioned:
“What is this green hat system? And why is the green hat at 1? What about the rank? And what’s HP? I don’t have any abilities? And what about my power?”
He threw one question after another, almost like a curious kid who was seeing a lot of things for the first time.
“The green hat system is your system since you are chosen by destiny, and your number of green hats is 1 since it is a starting bonus. You will have more in the future through missions.
Since you are starting, your rank is newbie; it’ll also grow with missions, and HP are the points you will get for clearing the mission.
You’ll receive abilities once you start doing missions, and your power is just 10, lower than even mature mortal men since you are weak at the start.”
As Jayden explained, Zeus listened to it all very carefully, and in this strange state of his, he didn’t find anything strange about any of it. An expression of enlightenment appeared on his face once Jayden was done.
“Oh, I understand! So now I just need to do my missions?” he spoke. Then, according to his stats on the system screen, Zeus even changed his body to that of a weak man in his twenties.
Jayden nodded in response; he had not clearly explained everything, like Zeus didn’t actually know what green hat was.
And the number there is one since Maia had already been taken away from him, and the HP— its full form was humiliation points that would be granted to Zeus after he successfully completed a mission.
Normally, Zeus wouldn’t have believed or allowed something like that; his intelligence is quite high.
But because of the effect of the demonic energy, he would be following the system’s command as if his life depended on it.
“Do you understand everything now?”
Jayden spoke as he looked at the man whose height was shorter than his.
He had a thin body and long black hair; even his clothes looked quite old and cheap. Zeus had completely gone into the character.
