Chapter 1999: Awakening

After checking the attributes of 【Deformed Love】, Su Xiao was very certain of one thing: this thing was not easy to sell.

If it were just a long whip weapon, it wouldn't be hard to sell, but unfortunately, 【Deformed Love】, whether in its attributes or introduction, revealed a lewd and bizarre temperament. To use it in battle, the Strength and Agility attribute requirements were secondary; one's sense of shame must not be too strong.

Su Xiao decided to let Benny sell this thing. As for selling it to God Emperor, that old brother was relatively upright, so he might not be able to bring himself to make an offer.

Besides 【Deformed Love】, there were two other items. The Notebook (No grade) had no value to Su Xiao; it was mainly about observations of the Moon God world. The 【Shelter Memorial Bead (Contract Relic)】 was a somewhat special piece of equipment.

【Shelter Memorial Bead】

Category: Contract Relic

Equipment Effect: Cannot be used until the obsession attached to this equipment is resolved.

Su Xiao didn't study the Shelter Memorial Bead for the time being and opened the random treasure chest. This chest was entirely dependent on luck.

The random treasure chest was white overall, with golden patterns outlined on it.

【You have opened the random treasure chest.】

【You have obtained Cursed Gold Coin.】

【Cursed Gold Coin】

Origin: Void - Death House

Type: Special

Equipment Effect: Life and Death (Active), toss this gold coin. If it lands heads up, you will receive a buff effect; if tails, a debuff effect. This process ignores the Luck attribute.

Buff Effect (Random, only one can be triggered at a time):

1. Permanently increase Luck attribute by 1 point (can be triggered at most once).

2. Restore 50 points of Health per second, effect lasts 10 minutes (no limit on trigger frequency).

3. Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes increased by 10 points, effect lasts 25 minutes (no limit on trigger frequency, can raise real attributes up to 150 points).

Debuff Effect (Random): Temporarily reduce Luck attribute by 15 points, effect lasts 48 hours, this effect can stack.

Hint: Life and Death (Active) has no consumption.

Hint: Life and Death (Active) cooldown time is 47 hours.

Introduction: To walk out of the Death House, it is your only hope. Even if you become strong through it, resisting those 'things' is a foolish choice. It only lets you escape faster, nothing more. - Queen of Pain, Anna.

Selling Price: Cannot be sold, cannot be enhanced, cannot be inlaid with gems, can be melted, can be discarded, can be destroyed.

A gold coin appeared in Su Xiao's hand. The front of the coin was a sun, and the back was a thorn flower.

It had to be said, this was the most interesting piece of equipment Su Xiao had ever seen. It could be tossed once every 47 hours. The buff effect on the front was very strong; effect 2 was equivalent to carrying several Tier 5 healers around, taking turns healing himself.

The debuff effect was also unusually treacherous. Without using Fate Dominator, Su Xiao's Luck attribute was 9 points. Once tails was tossed, his Luck attribute would become a negative number. As for offsetting it through the European Emperor status, it was simply impossible; this debuff was a continuous state.

A Luck attribute of -6 points; Su Xiao could fully imagine how miserable that would be, not to mention it would last for 2 days. That would truly be being targeted by the whole world.

What made people feel even more malicious was that the debuff state lasted for 48 hours, while the Cursed Gold Coin's cooldown time was 47 hours. One had to know that this kind of debuff state could stack.

Assuming the user had 0 Luck attribute, if they held a "fight to the death" attitude and tossed the coin again, once the debuff state was triggered a second time, they would have to endure a terrifying debuff of -30 Luck attribute, with the effect lasting 49 hours.

That opportunity to permanently increase Luck by 1 point was like a beauty posing seductively, constantly enticing Su Xiao, whispering in his ear with a wet voice: Toss it, toss the gold coin in your hand, and this luck will belong to you.

Su Xiao put away the Cursed Gold Coin. He planned to try this thing out in the near future; before returning to the real world was a good choice.

With the treasure chests opened, Su Xiao sensed his own state. He was in a very good state now, and it was time for the second awakening of the Soul-Devourer talent.

"Woo meow meow!"

Benny's 'wail' came. At this moment, she had already pounced on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's head, scratching and biting. On Benny's face, one could still see strips of transparent liquid; this was a mixture of water, mucin, and inorganic salts, commonly known as snot.

"Benny."

Hearing Su Xiao speak, Benny, who was using her small paws to dig into Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth, stopped.

"If I have an abnormal situation, inject this thing into me immediately."

Su Xiao took an injection gun from his storage space. This was an active agent he had prepared. The previous two experiences of upgrading the Soul-Devourer talent had been too miserable; this time, he had prepared in advance.

"Meow."

Benny wiped the snot off her face, meaning she would let Xiang Bubu go for now. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran to Su Xiao's side, bit the injection gun, and signaled to Su Xiao that there was no problem.

【Hunter has activated the second awakening permission for the talent.】

【About to consume 'Soul-Devouring Origin'. This item is unique and can only be obtained by killing the Moon God. Use it?】

Su Xiao chose to use it. The next moment, he felt a chill in his chest, as if a piece of ice had suddenly appeared in his chest cavity, and the chill was spreading with his blood.

In fact, this chill didn't come from his body, but from his soul.

"Jie jie jie... ge ge ge... ha ha ha..."

A laugh that sounded crazy and demonic appeared. Hearing this sound, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny's fur stood on end. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's hind legs were trembling, and Benny's four paws were stiff. This fear didn't come from the body, but from the depths of the soul.

This feeling was as if something would bite into their souls at any moment, tear off a piece, and chew it slowly.

"Woo... awoo."

Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was scared to death, it still tremblingly aimed the injection gun at Su Xiao's arm. If anything went wrong, it would inject the agent immediately.

Just at this moment, the door of the exclusive room was pushed open, and Baha returned to the exclusive room, holding a bottle of wine with its wings.

"Wha, wha, what's the situation?"

Even the brave Baha, upon sensing the aura near Su Xiao, couldn't help but freeze in place.

At this moment, Su Xiao's vision was pitch black. He felt himself falling, falling into an endless dark abyss.

*Plop~*

Su Xiao fell into 'water', large bubbles appearing around him. A faint light gradually emerged, and he saw a figure falling with him; it was the Moon God.

The Moon God's eyes opened, two dark red lights in his eye sockets staring at Su Xiao, but the next moment, the Moon God gradually turned into bubbles.

This was not Su Xiao's hallucination, but part of the Moon God's consciousness. As a god, the Moon God had his own pride. Defeat was defeat; the Soul-Devouring Origin belonged to the victor.

A colorless energy surged toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao's drowning sensation disappeared. He suddenly broke free from the 'water'. When his vision recovered, he was already sitting on a throne carved from crystals. This throne... was entirely composed of soul crystals.

"Lord of Souls."

A giant dragon the size of a mountain range, with curly goat horns on its head full of mysterious patterns, an old demon, a six-armed two-headed giant, and countless powerful existences knelt beneath the Soul Throne. And the power of this throne was what the Moon God had once pursued. ===== CHAPTER 2000 =====
