Chapter 3870: Power

In the underground shelter, the fresh air made people feel relaxed and happy. It had to be said that although the Apocalypse Three Sisters were not very good at becoming stronger, they knew how to live more safely in a dangerous mission world until the end of a world progress and obtain the highest gains through the least amount of fighting.

Of course, this "not very good at becoming stronger" was a result obtained by comparing with Su Xiao, Solomon, Priest, and others. In fact, in the Apocalypse Paradise, the three of Mo Lei were quite famous. Mo Lei Big Brother, how could the name be in vain?

Looking back at the Sand World, Mo Lei was still chasing and killing violators alone. However, Mo Lei Big Brother met Su Xiao. After meeting Su Xiao, Mo Lei began to be hammered until she doubted life.

Generally speaking, in this situation, Mo Lei should be bitter and deep. The problem was that Mo Lei Big Brother's "persona" was blown up by peers of the same rank. This was not Mo Lei's true nature. Her situation at that time was living with some "idol baggage."

Later, she was hammered until she doubted life, and extortion... cough~, and the soul coin transfer technique, Mo Lei's "Mo Lei Big Brother persona" collapsed in her own heart. She let herself go completely and then found that this was too happy.

In the past, when entering the mission world, she was repelled inside. After letting herself go, she actually enjoyed the time in the mission world. Sometimes when a world progress was about to end, she would still feel a bit lost and find a large enough strange stone in a place with beautiful scenery, carve a simple smiley face on it, and then take a photo as a souvenir.

Speaking of which, if Mo Lei still maintained the "Mo Lei Big Brother persona" later, Moon Apostle and Hao Mei would not be her best friends and fixed teammates. The reason was that the wine-monger Hao Mei was relatively disgusted with "Mo Lei Big Brother." Also because of this, the two sides were hostile before, but later Hao Mei found that it turned out that this sand sculpture Mo Lei had been pretending, or rather, "Mo Lei Big Brother" was more like a fake vest used for self-protection when she was in the low and middle tiers.

After Hao Mei and the "let go" Mo Lei were forced to cooperate, she found... this guy was particularly trustworthy.

Sometimes when Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei were together, the funniest point was that Moon Apostle was often injured inexplicably. Every time she fought, she hid the best. But even so, once Mo Lei kicked the boss's weapon handle broken, this weapon end handle bounced between the buildings more than ten times and accurately gave Moon Apostle a stick on the head, knocking her unconscious.

There was another time, in the present world where the three of them were, Mo Lei and Hao Mei were sulking with each other. Under Moon Apostle's mediation, they successfully adjusted from sulking with each other to Mo Lei and Hao Mei fighting with bare hands. The result was that Mo Lei and Hao Mei made up that afternoon, their feelings were stronger than gold, and Moon Apostle, who was accidentally injured while pulling the fight, was hospitalized for nearly half a month.

A more appropriate description of the Apocalypse Three Sisters was: sand sculpture, victim, wine-monger.

It was this combination that obtained the highest Ninth-Tier assessment potential in the history of the Apocalypse Paradise. The reason was that the team they were in almost cleared the danger zone of a top Absolute-Tier world.

As the initiator of all this, Su Xiao didn't care about the "assessment potential" judgment. Moreover, there was no such judgment in the Reincarnation Paradise. The standard for Reincarnation Paradise to measure contractors and hunters was very simple: either strong or dead.

Su Xiao meditated on the carpet. Although the proficiency of the "Heart Meditation Lv. 97" ability had now become: 20,800,000/52,000,000 points, as long as he persisted, the meditation ability would still improve quickly. After all, there was the basic bonus of "Origin Stone · World."

When Su Xiao finished meditation, it was only 2 hours away from the time agreed with the good teammates. Once the time was up, several people would go to deal with the "distorted beast god." Although the physical strength of this big boss was outrageous, it had to be faced directly.

Checking the summoning contract list, of the original 59 contracts, only 35 remained. Most of the Iron-Blood Hounds that interrupted this summoning were because of severe injuries, returning to the Netherworld to recuperate. Among them, four Iron-Blood Hounds died. If it were other summoned objects, this would be unlikely, but the temper of some Iron-Blood Hounds was very violent, and even situations of perishing with the enemy would occur.

Among summoned objects, this was rare, but it was not uncommon among Iron-Blood Hounds. In fact, the cause of death of most Iron-Blood Hounds was a death battle with their own kind. When an Iron-Blood Hound entered old age, it would never think of finding a place to hide steadily and spend the next time, but would find the strongest Iron-Blood Hound of the same rank and fight to the death. The scars left on the other party were the tombstone it was most satisfied with.

Therefore, one could imagine the gold content of the strongest Absolute-Tier Iron-Blood Hound, Fierce Prison.

Through the information sent back by the Iron-Blood Hounds, Su Xiao learned that more than 90% of the distorted gods in the "Land of God Exile" had been surrounded and killed. The remaining ones were either too hidden or the cost of surrounding and killing was too great. For example, an evil god named "Filthy Evil God" had a violent filthy corrosive ability. Even if it was surrounded and killed, the Iron-Blood Hounds had to pay a huge price.

The so-called summoning contract was not to summon the Iron-Blood Hounds, and the Iron-Blood Hounds would be obedient. More than 30% of summoning system newcomers died because of this, mistakenly thinking that as long as they were summoned, this summoned object was their own, and later when they encountered danger, they gave orders to let them die without hesitation. This situation would immediately suffer backlash.

If Su Xiao let the Iron-Blood Hounds surround and attack the "Filthy Evil God," with the violent nature of the Iron-Blood Hounds, they might really go to surround and kill, but the Iron-Blood Hounds that suffered severe filthy corrosion later would naturally come to find Su Xiao. If Su Xiao didn't pay compensation equivalent to their losses, Su Xiao would be the next target they surrounded and killed.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao never thought of letting the Iron-Blood Hounds help surround and kill the "distorted beast god." He never treated these summoned objects as fools. If dragon hearts were used as rewards, no number of dragon hearts would be enough to let the Iron-Blood Hounds take this risk.

In the battle against the "distorted beast god," saying there was a death probability of more than 95% was not an exaggeration. Unless Su Xiao paid enough soul crystals, the Iron-Blood Hounds would ignore this death rate.

At present, four Iron-Blood Hounds died, and almost clearing this high-risk area was already a particularly amazing record. Su Xiao came to an empty area, and the crystal layer spread under his feet. A teleportation array was formed. This teleportation array should be fine for a month.

After returning to the single sofa and sitting down, he began to organize the gains this time. Because there were many kill hints, totaling nearly two hundred, he chose to integrate the kill hints, leaving only a few, totaling as follows:

【You have successfully killed 32 distorted gods.】

【You obtained 43,290 Sun Gold Coins.】

【You obtained 72.83% World Source.】

【You obtained Corroded God Bone × 28 pieces.】

【Your God Hunter · Title effect has been activated. The current stored "God Soul" has reached 30/30.】

【Your equipment "God Judgment" has been promoted to Eternal-level.】

【God Judgment】

Hint: When this equipment is damaged, the source energy in this equipment will perform a life nourishment on you, thereby permanently increasing your health by 210,000 points.

Equipment Effect 2: Break Through Limits (Core · Passive), this equipment has reached the theoretical limit, but because you have hunted many powerful gods to make this equipment grow, this equipment has the qualification to break through the limit, but because of the material nature of this equipment, it cannot break through the limit, so this equipment has produced a unique characteristic. When you activate this ability, you can consume this equipment to enhance a new equipment that is sufficiently compatible with this equipment, and let it obtain certain characteristics of this equipment.

Rating: 6000 (Eternal-level quality equipment rating is 3000~6000 points).

Introduction: Hunt, go hunt more evil gods, until this equipment reaches overflow.

Price: Cannot be sold.

The God Judgment Ring grew to the limit, but this was not the end of this equipment. Su Xiao tried to activate the equipment skill 2 of the God Judgment Ring and found that among his existing equipment, only two could be improved by the God Judgment Ring. The first was Zhan Long Shan, and the second was the Abyss equipment 【Endless Ring】.

Of course, he couldn't use the God Judgment Ring to benefit Zhan Long Shan. The characteristics of the two didn't match. Zhan Long Shan was a weapon, and the characteristics were attack power and sharpness, while the God Judgment Ring was a ring, and the characteristics were vitality and devouring.

Regarding the Abyss equipment "Endless Ring," Su Xiao already had some understanding of this equipment. First of all, it was when he traded with Thunder God Aige and Nightmare Ghost Kain, the other party used it to offset the price of 2 million soul coins. However, that was a sky-high price, and it was really difficult to judge the specific value of the "Endless Ring."

After Su Xiao invested a large amount of space-time power to improve Abyss knowledge, he roughly judged the origin of the "Endless Ring." This thing was man-made + naturally formed. More accurately, in the Void First Era, there was a top-notch manufacturer who wanted to create an item that could devour Abyss energy on a massive scale, so he created the "Endless Ring."

The manufacturer's vision was that when a world was invaded by the Abyss, the "Endless Ring" would devour the invading Abyss energy on a massive scale. In this way, even if the invasion of the Abyss could not be solved, it could buy more time for the living beings of this world, or make up their minds to resist the Abyss, or escape through the world-level teleportation array.

Specifically how, this manufacturer didn't want to interfere. It didn't belong to this world; it was a drifting existence in the Star Realm.

The final result was that the "Endless Ring" was sucked into the Abyss channel, and the channel was gradually closed because of this reverse suction force. The "Endless Ring" fell into the depths of the Abyss, and in the drowning and darkness, it gradually became a supreme treasure in the Abyss.

【Endless Ring】

Origin: Abyss.

Quality: Abyss-level.

Type: Buff-type equipment.

Equipment Effect 1: Robust Life (Core · Passive), in the case of carrying this equipment, health +120,000 points (for every point of rating of this equipment, it brings an additional 20 points of health bonus).

Equipment Effect 2: Slow Absorption (Core · Passive), can slowly devour equipment or special objects, and before completely devouring this equipment, "Endless Ring" will temporarily obtain its characteristics, and enhance the temporarily obtained ability according to the existing rating of "Endless Ring."

Hint: The effect of this ability has reached maximization.

Equipment Debuff: Dark Drowning (Passive), during the period of carrying this equipment, you will be gradually invaded by the darkness of the Abyss (because your Abyss resistance is 85 points, at this stage, you can exempt the invasion effect brought by "Dark Drowning").

Introduction: Darkness, always quiet, quietness derives precipitation, precipitation brings decay, decay transforms into nutrients, nutrients nourish life. In the center of darkness, the purest and most robust life source quality was bred.

Selling price: Cannot be sold.

Su Xiao's effect of activating the God Judgment Ring to benefit 【Endless Ring】. The next second, the God Judgment Ring on his hand exploded, and a burst of life energy submerged into his body, nourishing his source vitality, while the fragments of the God Judgment Ring were all swallowed by 【Endless Ring】.

【Endless Ring】 looked like a ring that had been enlarged a few times. Su Xiao tried to equip it in a special equipment slot, but a hint appeared:

【Detected that you are trying to equip "Abyss Equipment," and your Abyss resistance has reached 80 points or more. Yes/No to open the Abyss equipment slot (up to one can be opened), this opening of the Abyss equipment slot requires paying 12,000 ounces of space-time power.】

Su Xiao had 7040.5 ounces of space-time power. At the very least, he had to complete any one of the Blood Contract · Bounty other than Bounty 1 to make up 12,000 ounces of space-time power. He simply put away 【Endless Ring】.

In this way, the increase in his health was not large. This time it seemed to have permanently increased by 210,000 points, but don't forget, the God Judgment Ring previously increased health by 85,000 points, so the real increase this time was 125,000 points. At present, he could not activate the effect of 【Endless Ring】, that is, temporarily losing the 120,000 points of health bonus. In the end, his health only increased by 5,000 points, reaching 2.15 million points.

Compared with the premise of being able to stably equip 【Endless Ring】 later, the price this time was nothing. Furthermore, the "distorted beast god" he was about to fight was not something that could be resisted by these 100,000-plus health points.

According to Sin-Ais, who witnessed the "distorted beast god" tearing other evil gods, even if Su Xiao's physique was very strong, he was not an Undead-type ability. Even if he had life-saving abilities, such as the ultimate life-saving ability "Blood Gun Grandmaster · Blood Controller," he could only resist three times.

Once the "Blood Gun Grandmaster · Blood Controller" ability was triggered, Su Xiao in the full-health state could only resist two hits from the "distorted beast god." Even if there were 120,0

……

Su Xiao activated the effect of the God's Judgment Ring to buff the 【Endless Ring】. The next second, the God's Judgment Ring on his hand exploded, and a surge of life energy poured into his body, nourishing his origin life force, while the fragments the ring turned into were all swallowed by the 【Endless Ring】.

The 【Endless Ring】 looked like a ring that had been enlarged by a few degrees. Su Xiao tried to equip it in a special equipment slot, but a prompt appeared:

【Detected that you are attempting to equip "Abyssal Equipment," and your Abyssal Resistance has reached 80 points or more. Open Abyssal Equipment slot (maximum one can be opened)? This opening of the Abyssal Equipment slot requires a payment of 12,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

……

Su Xiao currently had 7,040.5 ounces of Space-Time Power. He would need to complete at least one other Blood Pact Bounty besides Bounty 1 to gather enough to reach 12,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, so he simply put away the 【Endless Ring】.

In this way, the increase to his HP was not significant. This time it seemed to be a permanent increase of 210,000 points, but do not forget that the God's Judgment Ring had previously increased his HP by 85,000 points, so the actual increase this time was 125,000 points. Since he could not currently activate the effect of the 【Endless Ring】, he temporarily lost the 120,000 HP bonus, meaning his HP only increased by 5,000 points, reaching 2.15 million points.

Compared to the prerequisite of being able to stably equip the 【Endless Ring】 later, this current cost was nothing. Furthermore, the "Distorted Beast Deity" he was about to fight was not the kind of enemy one could tank an extra hit from just by having this extra hundred thousand or so HP.

According to Zuiyas, who had witnessed the "Distorted Beast Deity" tear other evil deities apart, even though Su Xiao's physique was very strong, he did not possess undead-type abilities. Even with life-saving abilities, such as the ultimate life-saving ability "Blood Gun Master: Blood Controller," he could only tank three hits.

Once the "Blood Gun Master: Blood Controller" ability was triggered, Su Xiao at full health could only tank two hits from the "Distorted Beast Deity." Even with an extra 120,000 HP, it would still be two hits; the power of this beast deity was too terrifying.

【Prompt: World Mission: Deity Hunter: Fourth Stage has been completed.】

【This mission reward has accumulated to the maximum value. You have obtained the following rewards in total.】

1. Primal Core × 3.

2. Initial Origin Essence × 1.

3. Ascension Blood Core: Nourish (Talent Item: Unique).

4. Designated Origin Essence Treasure Chest.

……

Su Xiao checked the attributes of the 【Ascension Blood Core: Nourish (Talent Item: Unique)】 and discovered that this item could be used on the "Blood Beast: Talent." He deliberated for a moment and put it away. Having an HP increase before a life-and-death battle with a strong enemy required no adaptation, but if a "Talent Ability" were changed and there was no time to adapt, his combat power would decrease rather than increase.

As for the 【Designated Origin Essence Treasure Chest】, this was a good item, especially for Su Xiao, who possessed the luck of a Law-Extinguisher. He was very fond of treasure chests that allowed him to choose the items obtained, and he did indeed have a rare Origin Essence he particularly wanted to obtain but had never found a way to acquire.

Besides these gains, there were also the 10 "Extreme Refinement: 1 Time" titles traded from the Apocalypse Sisters. Originally, they had obtained a total of 48 nine-star titles, but these titles could not be traded. However, after synthesizing them into ownerless titles at a rate of 5 nine-star titles per synthesis, the final 10 "Extreme Refinement: 1 Time" titles synthesized became tradable, non-attribute titles.

"Moon Apostle."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Moon Apostle, who was leaning on a lounge chair and did not want to move a single finger, responded in a low voice.

"Summon Xian Lulu."

"Huh?"

Moon Apostle forced herself to sit up, her eyes looking a bit conflicted. A moment later, a summoning formation appeared on the ground, and Xian Lulu was summoned out. She first jumped into Moon Apostle's arms, then onto her shoulder, affectionately rubbing her head against Moon Apostle's cheek, though those pale golden cat eyes stole a glance at the direction where Su Xiao was.

"It's just as you thought. Go on, go find the Law-Extinguisher: Bai Ye you've been thinking about. He is the one more worthy of your combat support."

Moon Apostle said these words in a 'gentle' voice, which made Xian Lulu shiver. She explained, "Poop-scooper, how can you say that? I am your permanently signed partner!"

Xian Lulu put on a heartbroken expression, which made Moon Apostle, who was pretending to be unhappy, unable to continue the act. Just as she was about to explain something, a mischievous smile appeared on Xian Lulu's cat face, as if to say: 'I'm so sad (I'm faking it).'

"Be careful this time. If you face a desperate situation, crush this, and I will immediately summon you back."

Moon Apostle took out a candy-sized crystal, which made Xian Lulu look hesitant. She said, "Master, if I suddenly run away during a battle, this..."

"The enemy you are going to deal with this time is the most powerful kind among the absolute strong, and regarding the fact that you can withdraw at any time, I have signed a contract with Bai Ye."

"Master, you... you signed a contract with Bai Ye?!"

Xian Lulu widened her cat eyes. She had witnessed with her own eyes Su Xiao turn one contract into dozens, which had caused a huge shock to her heart.

"It's fine, it's not a hostile state, and it doesn't involve Soul Coins. Bai Ye's contracts shouldn't be that dangerous."

After Moon Apostle finished speaking, she gave Xian Lulu several life-saving items. It must be said that although Moon Apostle seemed a bit cowardly in ordinary times, her judgment on some important matters was still quite accurate.

"Alright then, Master, we can only part for now."

Xian Lulu's cat eyes were misty with tears, which infected Moon Apostle with the emotion. Just as she was about to say something, Xian Lulu appeared on Su Xiao's shoulder the next second, with no trace of the misty-eyed look left.

"Uh~"

Moon Apostle froze. If Benny were present, Moon Apostle and Benny would definitely be gnashing their teeth together while watching this scene.

As Xian Lulu jumped onto Su Xiao's shoulder, Su Xiao received a series of prompts, which were:

【Prompt: Light Elf: Xian Lulu has attached herself to you.】

【When Xian Lulu is attached to you, your real Intelligence attribute and maximum Mana will increase her buff effects/healing amount, as well as reduce her skill cooldown time.】

【Your Intelligence attribute is 652 points; Xian Lulu's buff status is increased by 45% (maximum limit), healing amount is increased by 40% (maximum limit), and skill cooldown time is reduced by 3% (maximum limit).】

【Your Mana is 147,269 points; Xian Lulu's buff status is increased by 5% (maximum limit), healing amount is increased by 25% (maximum limit), and skill cooldown time is reduced by 92% (maximum limit).】

【When attached to you, Xian Lulu's buff status is increased by a total of 50% (maximum limit), healing amount is increased by 65% (maximum limit), and skill cooldown time is reduced by 95% (maximum limit)!】

【You receive the following buffs.】

1. Base HP increased by 0% (Because your HP is too high, Xian Lulu cannot increase your HP; it can only be restored through healing-type skills).

2. Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes increased by 0 points (Because your real Strength, Agility, and Stamina attributes are too high, Xian Lulu cannot buff your body attributes).

3. All your abnormal attribute resistances are increased by 15 points.

【Prompt: When Xian Lulu is attached to you, she can use the "Psionic Recovery (Active, Lv. 82)" ability to immediately restore 35% of your maximum HP, and in the following 5 seconds, increase your movement and dash speed (this increase is in a diminishing mode, initially increasing movement and dash speed by 70%, decreasing by 10% every second until this buff ends).】

【The cooldown time of this skill was originally 180 seconds, and it has been reduced to 9 seconds.】

……

Everything was ready. A teleportation formation appeared under Su Xiao's feet, which immediately made Xian Lulu's eyes fill with fear. She was just about to speak.

Thud~

After a muffled sound, Su Xiao appeared on the ground above. It was only a teleportation distance of 10,000 meters, so even for a "Law-Extinguisher Teleportation Formation," it would not be too bad of an experience.

Beside the nearby stone forest, Zuiyas and Wood were already waiting. Zuiyas was sitting on a several-meter-high strange rock that looked like a stele, and Wood was standing below.

Logically speaking, the fourth member of the team, Daughter of Nature: Ailukelu, should also be together, but due to the hostile relationship between Law-Extinguishers and Spellcasters, the possibility of Ailukelu appearing at this time was not high.

The group set off toward the west. After traveling for more than two hours, an area with scorched, withered ground and scattered bones came into view. The "Distorted Beast Deity" that was originally here was nowhere to be found for the time being.

At the very front of the team, Amu, holding the Dawn Great Shield, looked around. Just then, a beast-like roar came from near a giant tree in the distance, followed by the sound of wind breaking from far to near. A figure over eight meters tall, humanoid, covered in gray-white, semi-long loose hair, with a right arm that was disproportionately long, appeared. Even in a slightly hunched posture, it could touch the ground with its right claw. This arm was not only long but also stronger, and the gray-white hair on it seemed to be burning with invisible flames.

Boom!!

The Distorted Beast Deity crashed down, and dust and bone fragments splashed around due to the impact. The beast deity, which had a bone mask on its face and only a single golden slit pupil in its right eye, looked up and let out a roar that spread across most of the Exile Land.

Clatter~

The beast deity's right claw scooped through the half-meter-deep layer of bone fragments on the ground. As it clenched its claw into a fist, the bone fragments in its hand turned into fine powder. After leaking out through its fingers, because they had been subjected to such strong squeezing force, these powders began to evaporate. Do not think this is simple; this was destroying the way matter exists by relying on pure physical force.

A more intuitive metaphor is that this beast deity could use brute force to punch matter back into its initial energy form.

Crack, crack, crack~

Cracks began to appear on the ground in the surrounding area. The beast deity did not release its aura; this was the purest sense of oppression it brought.

Among the three good teammates, Zuiyas and Wood stepped back at the same time. It was not that they were cowardly, but for an enemy with such terrifying attack power, only Su Xiao, as a technique-type, could block it. One of them was responsible for output + interference, and the other was responsible for continuous weakening.

The scorching sun hung in the sky, roasting the earth. The beast deity suddenly swung its single arm backward, using its right claw to create a loud explosion behind it, and then used the reaction force of this terrifying blow to accelerate, suddenly appearing in front of Amu.

The beast deity's massive right fist clenched, and it punched Amu with all its might. Amu, holding the Dawn Great Shield, was of course not cowardly and blocked with the shield. Besides, with the speed of this strong enemy, it was already too late to dodge.

Thud~!!!

After a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering loud noise, Amu disappeared, leaving only layers of air waves in the air.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao checked Amu's status in the team list. Amu's HP was at 15%. It could be said that the Dawn Great Shield was not crafted in vain. After taking such a fierce blow, Amu actually did not directly reach the point of near-death. However, after taking this blow, Amu, who had just been in the Exile Land, was already in the outer district of Dusk City.
