Chapter 467
"But this time, perhaps there can be a different ending~..." Speaking of this, Seraphim looked at Lu Li.
"Me? But I also don't know how to help you." Facing Seraphim's gaze, Lu Li was a bit puzzled.
Didn't we agree that the other two areas would be handled by them? Why are we talking about Antoinette's "must-die" ending now, and dragging me into it?
Of course, if it didn't affect his subsequent actions, Lu Li wouldn't mind helping the other party; after all, even he felt that Antoinette's "must-die" destiny was extremely shitty when he heard it.
"Sign a contract!" Seeing Lu Li's intention to help, Seraphim spoke directly: "As long as the mark of the Boundary City remains on Antoinette, she will definitely meet death, because this is her ending in the Boundary City."
"But if Antoinette loses the mark of the Boundary City, then she has a chance to live."
"Erasing the mark of the Boundary City from Antoinette is a very simple matter for me." As the god of the Boundary City, she can even restart the cycle, so erasing the existence of a Divine Artifact User is naturally a piece of cake.
"Once I erase Antoinette's mark, she will be immediately rejected by the Boundary City in this cycle, and she will need someone who can accept her to sign a contract with her to obtain the qualification to survive."
It's not that others haven't entered the Boundary City in the past, and even big shots like the Night Queen have been here, but in Seraphim's view, none of these people could solve Antoinette's problem.
The root cause lies in the fact that they couldn't solve the flesh nest parasitizing the Boundary City.
Once the cycle is restarted, everything will return to its original state, which is equivalent to doing useless work.
Since that's the case, then whether Seraphim says such a solution or not doesn't have much significance.
And now, Seraphim says this because she saw Lu Li pull out so many powerful external helpers with a wave of his hand, and under the hope of solving the trouble of the flesh nest.
Besides this, it also relates to what she just said about leaving the remaining two areas for them to solve.
"Sign a contract?" Recalling the system prompts he had bound with Moonlight Bird Zero and the Quartet Ashilia before, Lu Li roughly understood Seraphim's meaning.
"Then, what about Antoinette's willingness?" To be honest, Lu Li didn't mind much.
Antoinette's strength compared to Moonlight Bird Zero and the Quartet Ashilia is naturally quite a bit worse, and what Lu Li values isn't Antoinette's combat power, but the spatial ability the other party possesses.
Besides, adding a Divine Artifact User with combat power comparable to an eleven-star Magic Card Spirit is also a steady, profitable deal.
"My willingness?" Antoinette didn't speak immediately; after pondering for a few seconds, she looked at Seraphim: "In this case, can I live?"
"There is only such a possibility," Seraphim pursed her lips: "After all, this only exists in theory, and it has never been attempted before."
With only one chance, it's naturally impossible to attempt it easily.
"You and Zero are both very special existences within the Boundary City, and such a method is only suitable for you and Zero."
"Since that's the case, I'm willing to try." In the end, Antoinette closed her eyes, then opened them again, as if she had made up her mind.
It's a death ending either way; this time, even with Lu Li's existence, even if it's the most likely time in history to kill the flesh nest, it's possible that she will still die in this cycle.
After all, although the ways of death she experienced in her dreams were mostly very normal, there were still a few special examples; who knows if her "good luck" would carry over.
Having already known the ending of every cycle of hers, now that there is a chance to live, Antoinette naturally has to give it a try.
Involving the desire to survive, Antoinette wouldn't have less than others, and it might even be more intense.
Otherwise, when she first awakened to become a Divine Artifact User, she wouldn't have fought the invading monsters for 7 days.
Not only to protect other ordinary people, but also for the desire to survive.
"Since neither of you has a problem, then let's begin," seeing this, Seraphim didn't delay any longer: "Believe me, this will definitely be a rebirth for you."
879. Divine Envoy turns into Dark Envoy, White Hair +1!
The process of unbinding and binding was very smooth and couldn't be considered troublesome; after all, it was just that a suitable candidate hadn't been found in the past.
And now, the candidate was there, and both parties had the willingness, so naturally, the process wouldn't have any major problems.
However, the result had some unexpected deviations.
【Do you want to bind with Divine Envoy Antoinette?】
Regarding this system prompt, Lu Li naturally didn't refuse, but then, the system popped up a new prompt.
【Because of losing the Boundary City mark, Antoinette loses the Divine Envoy title; do you want to consume energy to grant the other party a new title?】
Hmm? There's this too?
Regarding the system's second prompt, Lu Li was slightly surprised.
Losing the Boundary City mark and losing the Divine Envoy title—Lu Li could understand this a little bit, but he could also grant the other party a new title?
Pondering for a few seconds, he got an answer from the system: he could grant a title because the previously bound Quartet Ashilia and Moonlight Bird Zero had obtained data regarding this aspect.
Moreover, for a Divine Artifact User, both the Divine Artifact and the title are very important; if Antoinette is granted a new title, not only can she retain her original abilities, but she can also be granted new abilities, taking her strength a step further.
Grant!
Since that's the case, there's nothing to hesitate about.
Antoinette has already bound with him, and the other party's strength further improving is also a good thing for him.
"Antoinette, you might change a little bit yourself later, but you don't have to worry." Although he confirmed granting the other party a new title, Lu Li still reminded Antoinette.
"What kind of change?" Having lost the Boundary City mark, Antoinette's aura became much weaker, but she also felt in the dark that her destiny trajectory seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
It seems that it is indeed as Seraphim said; her "must-die" ending in every cycle has already changed.
And the one who made this change is exactly Lu Li before her eyes, and also the person who signed a contract with her.
Looking at Lu Li, Antoinette, who was actually less than twenty years old, felt a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart.
However, she quickly suppressed that trace of emotion and focused on Lu Li's words.
Could it be that some bad change occurred? Thinking of this, Antoinette's heart sank.
"Rest assured, this change is not a bad thing," the subtle change in Antoinette's expression naturally didn't escape Lu Li's eyes: "Perhaps, only after completing this change can you be considered to have obtained a true rebirth."
【Start granting!】
As the system began to grant Antoinette a new title, energy also appeared to drop, but the amount of the drop wasn't much; clearly, granting a title didn't require consuming too much energy.
Outside, at the same moment the new title was granted, a powerful energy erupted from Antoinette's body; Amusa and Yan Hua, who were originally staying by her side, had to retreat under the influence of this energy.
As for Seraphim, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This is... granting a new title?"
The surprise this scene gave Seraphim even exceeded Lu Li summoning Mortis Beast X, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and other Magic Card Spirits just now.
Normally, only when an ordinary person awakens to become a Divine Artifact User can they obtain a title, which is also a manifestation of the awakener's ability.
Although Antoinette lost the Boundary City mark, she didn't lose her Divine Artifact User ability; normally, she shouldn't obtain a new title.
But now, this scene was happening right before her eyes—this is ridiculous; who exactly is the god of the Boundary City!
【Granting successful, Antoinette obtains the Dark Envoy title; congratulations to the host for binding with Dark Envoy Antoinette!】
Although the process of granting a new title caused quite a bit of commotion, the whole process wasn't slow, and Antoinette, who obtained the new title, indeed had quite a few changes in her strength.
【Dark Envoy Antoinette】
Race: Divine Artifact User
Quality: Legendary
Level: Eleven Stars
Equipment: Alienated Ark Remnant Box (Divine Artifact), Moon Eclipse Phase (Exclusive Shadow Equipment)
Skills: Turbulent Mark, Annihilation Torrent, Remnant Box Devour, Otherworld Transition, Ruined Raft (Divine Artifact Skill), Phantom Escape (Exclusive Shadow Equipment Skill), Awakening
Turbulent Mark: After releasing a skill each time, the Alienated Ark Remnant Box will accumulate a layer of flocculent mark; after stacking 5 layers of flocculent marks, when releasing a skill next time, it will release the flocculent marks simultaneously, adding skill damage to enemies in the target area. When the same target is hit by multiple flocculent mark damages simultaneously, the damage effect is doubled.
Annihilation Torrent: Launches an Annihilation Torrent at the target area; the area covered by the torrent is continuously attacked by dark attribute damage. After the Annihilation Torrent reaches the final stage, the range expands and causes double damage. If there is only one enemy unit in the torrent range, it causes an additional double damage.
Remnant Box Devour: Summons an Ark Spirit above the target area, and the Ark Spirit continuously deals damage to enemy units in the target area. When the Ark Spirit disappears, it leaves behind a corrosive area; enemy units in the corrosive area suffer continuous attacks, and their movement speed decreases by 75%. When the corrosive area disappears, it knocks up enemy units still in the area.
Otherworld Transition: Imprisons all enemy units in the area range and deals continuous damage; if the target is imprisoned, it causes double damage. When the imprisonment effect disappears, it teleports the imprisoned enemy units to the target designated area, stuns the target, and deals damage again. When releasing the skill, it clears all control effects received by itself; during the skill release process, Antoinette is immune to any control effects.
Ruined Raft (Divine Artifact Skill): After releasing a skill each time, the damage dealt by the friendly unit's next attack increases by 12%; this effect can only be triggered by one friendly unit each time.
Phantom Escape (Exclusive Shadow Equipment Skill): When receiving damage exceeding 30% of maximum health, Antoinette will enter a phase state for 3 seconds where she will not be affected by the enemy's current world. While entering the phase state, Antoinette can still release skills, and the number of flocculent marks accumulated after each skill release increases by one.
Awakening: After activation, level and quality are both promoted by one grade.
880. This is easy to make people's thoughts wander
Although the level was still eleven stars and hadn't been promoted to twelve stars, the quality had been promoted from Rare to Perfect, second only to Moonlight Bird Zero.
Moreover, she also had the Awakening ability, which meant that Antoinette could promote her strength to the twelve-star level through Awakening.
This was an ability that the Antoinette of the past didn't have.
Among the many Divine Artifact Users Lu Li had seen, only Moonlight Bird Zero, Quartet Ashilia, and now Dark Envoy Antoinette possessed the Awakening skill.
Clearly, not all Divine Artifact Users could possess such a skill that directly promotes a level.
In terms of skills, besides the addition of Awakening, quite a few changes had also occurred; to describe it in Lu Li's thoughts, it was that the current Antoinette was more aggressive.
Moreover, because she could still use her past skills, even if Antoinette couldn't beat them, she could run away immediately, which could be considered as having both advance and retreat.
"Are you still Anto? Are your legs better?" Compared to Lu Li, who could directly see Antoinette's attribute panel because of the binding relationship, others couldn't do this step.
At most, they could feel that the current Antoinette's strength was much stronger than before.
But compared to these, Amusa, Yan Hua, and the others were more concerned about Anto's appearance.
If the Antoinette of the past gave people the image of a literary girl, then the current Antoinette had become much more mature, and her image had also undergone a great change.
