Chapter 140: Your mental attribute actually broke ten thousand?!

~7 min read 1,307 words

When Yun Shen saw the content of the messages sent by the two, his brain buzzed; it seemed he had inexplicably gained a huge advantage.

Given the blood feud between the God and Demon races, neither could tolerate the other. The actions of Andrelaina, the Demon witch, were indeed very consistent with her stance. If he were in her shoes, he probably would have done the same, right?

After all, there is a saying: when weighing two benefits, choose the greater; when weighing two harms, choose the lesser.

The Human race had not pledged allegiance to either the God or Demon race and belonged to a neutral faction.

On the premise that she was highly unlikely to become a Taboo herself, taking down the God race’s Son of God to eliminate him, thereby making it easier for a neutral Human lord to ascend, was indeed the optimal choice.

This way, at the very least, she wouldn't let her enemies grow stronger, and she could incidentally win over a wave of Human lords. Even if she returned to the main world, the Demon leadership would praise her actions once they understood the situation.

Currently, the God race still occupied the top spot on the Myriad Races Luck Ranking. The Demon race had always wanted to knock them off again. If Leandre were allowed to become a Taboo this year, the difficulty for the Demon race to return to the top would undoubtedly increase.

Merchants have a saying: "If I didn't make a profit, but someone else did, then I lost."

In this context, it could also be understood as: as long as the enemy doesn't become stronger, I never lose!

Sure enough, one should never underestimate these heaven-proud lords at any time; they have too many tricks up their sleeves. Even from far away, they can still mess with you.

Just now, Andrelaina said she used a one-time World Wonder.

It sounded like this World Wonder required the territory traits awakened by both parties to be of the same category, or they must both be War God-type territory traits.

In other words, Andrelaina, like Leandre, was a War God lord.

"Could Leandre also have similar means?"

The more Yun Shen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He immediately consumed various spiritual foods, thinking he should boost his stats as much as possible.

While he was still eating, there was movement in the trial channel again.

Leandre (God race): "Hahaha! Isn't it just fighting for an hour? You can't take me down!"

Andrelaina (Demon race): "Tsk, always dodging and hiding, you coward, you spineless wretch."

Andrelaina (Demon race): "Human lord, you must be careful. This dog thing doesn't dare to fight me to the death; he likely has some trump card to deal with you. However, after fighting me, he probably won't be able to withstand this wave of poisonous creature sieges."

Han Li (Human race): "Many thanks for the reminder, I will be careful."

Leandre (God race): "That's right, I indeed might not be able to withstand it, but do you think only you have trump cards?"

Leandre (God race): "Human lord, I'll give you one last chance. Withdraw from the Taboo trial now, and I will still give you the opportunity to marry into my God race. You can continue to be an honorary member of the God race!"

Leandre (God race): "This last minute before the poisonous creature siege begins is your final chance!"

Han Li (Human race): "Why don't you tell me, Son of God, what means you will use to deal with me?"

Fishing for intelligence so brazenly was truly unheard of; the two people on the other side of the screen both twitched their lips.

Perhaps because he didn't want to waste his trump card, Leandre finally decided to reveal a little.

Leandre (God race): "Telling you a little won't hurt. I remember you said you were a Tower Defense lord, so your attribute values must not be high. I have a cursed item; unless your mental attribute breaks ten thousand, you absolutely won't be able to block it!"

Yun Shen blinked, a sound of "Ah, this" coming from his mouth.

A mental attribute breaking ten thousand, isn't that a coincidence?

I have that!

Han Li (Human race): "Sorry, the opportunity to become a Taboo only comes once in a lifetime. I still want to give it a try."

Andrelaina (Demon race): "Right, this dog thing might be bluffing. Fight him!"

Leandre (God race): "Hmph, you have such confidence because you have troops in your territory that can purify negative states or items that restrain curses, right? It's useless. This item of mine has no quality; it is an item containing the power of rules, coming from the 'Will of Curses'. What will you use to resist it?"

Leandre (God race): "I'll add a reminder: temporary and additional attributes like those from eating spiritual food, wearing equipment, or cultivation technique bonuses won't be counted. Territory trait attribute bonuses do count, but you are a Tower Defense lord—what kind of attribute bonuses could you possibly have?"

Yun Shen stopped talking, thinking that if Andrelaina's estimation was correct, this God race Son of God really couldn't hold on much longer. He would definitely launch a desperate counterattack later, so he had to prepare in advance.

Thus, Yun Shen began to eat and drink frantically, consuming various spiritual foods with different effects while having the Wine Country Witch Sophia mix drinks for him, stacking states to the death.

Although Leandre said eating spiritual food was useless, it was better to be careful. What if this kid was tricking him, or had other means to deal with him?

Watching the time tick by second by second, Leandre, who had not received a reply from "Han Li," could wait no longer.

Because the message about the poisonous creature siege finally popped up.

[Trial Announcement: Poisonous creature siege is coming! Countdown: 10...]

In the final ten seconds, Leandre, separated by distance, was furious. This Human lord actually dared to ignore him; he must give him a taste of his own medicine!

He took out that black feather again and locked onto the Human lord "Han Li."

Many cursed items do not require knowing the target's specific name or too much information; they only need a clear direction.

Currently, everyone was in the Taboo trial; one only needed to launch the curse at "Han Li" on the screen, and the curse would naturally fall upon the target's head.

Once everyone exited this space, the identity of "Han Li" would no longer possess the directionality for the curse.

Leandre sneered. When he silently recited "Use" in his heart, the pitch-black feather in his hand instantly turned into a black light and vanished into the void.

Initially, he had intended to use it on Andrelaina to force her to return to the main world immediately for treatment.

Who would have thought that the biggest stumbling block on his path to becoming a Taboo would actually be the weak Human race.

Leandre (God race): "Hahaha, wait for death, Human Han Li. I gave you a way to live, but you couldn't take it!"

Leandre (God race): "Stinking bitch of the Demon race, watch carefully. I have already launched the curse. The Human lord has now fallen into boundless pain, so miserable that he can't even send a message!"

Andrelaina (Demon race): "What are you barking about?"

Perhaps to see the end, Andrelaina persisted and did not exit.

Just then, the appearance of a message left these two lords of the God and Demon races stunned.

Han Li (Human race): "Ah, it's alright. So you've already used it?"

Leandre (God race): "???"

Leandre (God race): "No, why do you have no reaction?"

Han Li (Human race): "Don't ask me, I don't know."
