Caelus recognized it immediately.
He had seen this exact sight when he awakened Endless Extraction.
The black hole kept drawing in the light as a new notification appeared before him.
[Ding! You've met the requirements to become a Primordial.]
Caelus was still staring at the Primordial notification when another message appeared beneath it.
[Ascension Unavailable.]
[You do not meet all requirements to become a Primordial.]
He read both notices again before clicking his tongue.
"Then why did you get my hopes up?"
He had been seeing messages like this ever since obtaining the Divine Halo in the Abyss. They would appear without warning and remind him that he was too weak before leaving him with no useful explanation.
At least this one had changed its wording.
It no longer called him weak, though telling him he had failed some unknown requirement was hardly an improvement. Caelus checked the notice for more details and found nothing.
