Chapter 397: Strength Skyrockets

【Anger from Beigui; +1 +1 +1 +1……】

……

The Magpie Bridge transported over a pile of severed limbs and broken arms.

Retracting the Skill, the various limbs reset; the chest of the War God Body had a large hole broken in it, a large chunk was missing from the waist, and one leg was also gone.

The devouring power of the God of Darkness was not to be underestimated; Lin Bai thought he had separated himself quickly enough, yet he still hadn't escaped his erosion.

If the God of Darkness hadn't seen Lin Bai suddenly strike at the Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning and stopped his erosion, it would have been a miracle if the War God Body had even two heads left.

……

"Husband, how did Xingtian become like this?" Xu Longyun was startled by the miserable appearance of the War God Body and hurriedly took medicinal pills out from her storage bracelet.

Lin Bai's face was pale; that wave of artificial DDOS attack just now had almost drained his Mental Power. He couldn't spare the attention to address Xu Longyun, nor could he care about the War God Body, but instead lay on the ground and laughed wildly without stopping.

Refreshing!

The Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning and the God of Darkness were too powerful; they were not opponents he could deal with at his current stage, especially since the Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning was also incredibly cunning, always keeping a layer of flowing lightning covering his body at all times to prevent the Absolute Suppression of the Chef God System.

Lin Bai had originally thought that the Super Villain System's mission to snatch a Magic Tool could only be completed once his own strength grew and he possessed the power to defeat a Heavenly King.

He hadn't expected that by calculating against the unprepared, he would actually manage to snatch the Hammer from his hand using such an eccentric method.

As expected.

There are no useless Skills, only whether one knows how to use them.

Driven by the "Smile When I See You" Skill, Xu Longyun couldn't help but laugh out loud along with Lin Bai, her dignified image completely destroyed. Fortunately, as Lin Bai's woman, her psychological resilience had been trained to be strong enough that she wasn't ashamed or angry about it.

She wanted to stuff healing pills into the mouth of the War God Body, but she couldn't do it, because the broken War God Body was also laughing wildly, looking strange and terrifying.

Xu Longyun had black lines on her forehead, looking at Lin Bai with depression; she didn't interrupt him, but instead waited for him to calm down.

Ever since Lin Bai entered the Immortal World, he hadn't laughed this happily in a long time, so she would just accompany him in laughing for a while!

However.

In the process of laughing, Xu Longyun's mood also inexplicably brightened up.

……

Powerful Mental Power meant a super-fast recovery speed; after a moment, Lin Bai had recovered.

The Super Villain System gave a new mission: 【You are simply the most excellent villain in the world; you have already snatched one, why not snatch them all? A super villain will not allow good things to remain outside; snatch all the Law Sacred Artifacts of the Nine Heavenly Kings; Backup (provided you possess the original, you can perfectly replicate anything)】

Backup?

Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat. Players have infinite lives, and gods also have an Undying Body; only he was a fragile little thing, and in the struggle against the big shots, he would turn into dust if he wasn't careful.

Before, he left heads everywhere just so that he would have a chance to resurrect in the future.

If he had the Backup Skill, he could completely clone his own body; if he happened to die, wouldn't Soul Possession on himself be without any obstacles at all……

The Super Villain System truly understood his heart.

Although snatching the Sacred Artifacts of the nine Heavenly Kings was somewhat difficult, this reward must be obtained. When the time came, he would not only back up himself but also back up the people around him.

……

Lin Bai finally stopped laughing. Xu Longyun glanced at him, shook her head, came before the War God Body, and placed the pills in her hand into his mouth before turning back to ask: "Husband, what happened to make you so happy?"

"I snatched the Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning's hammer." Good things should be shared; Lin Bai shook the card in his hand to show Xu Longyun.

On the card were densely packed heads and hands, and in one of the hands was a hammer emitting electricity.

Looking at the card, Xu Longyun held her breath: "A Law Sacred Artifact?"

"Yeah." Lin Bai examined the card in his hand, the corners of his mouth rising again. He had to admit, whenever he thought about the matter of snatching the hammer, it made his Spirit feel delighted!

"How did you snatch it?" Xu Longyun asked.

"Caught him off guard, snatched it and ran, and then I got it." Lin Bai laughed uncontrollably; he shook the card and released the hammer.

Any object collected into the card would be forcibly restored; even if there were restrictions, they wouldn't have any effect, and there was absolutely no need to worry about being countered.

Holding the Thunder Hammer in his palm, Lin Bai observed it carefully.

The hammer was an eight-sided hammer with an ancient design, a smooth surface, black with a luster, and electric sparks jumped on the hammer surface from time to time.

While holding the hammer, a description of the hammer and a list of Skills appeared in Lin Bai's mind:

Thunder Hammer: Law Sacred Artifact.

Equipment Level: 0;

Durability: Permanent.

Unique, cannot be upgraded, cannot be inlaid;

Attached Skills:

Thunder Strike: Damage 10,000, Armor Break 10,000; Proficiency: 0;

Chain Lightning: Damage 10,000, Armor Break 10,000, damage gradually weakens as the number of enemies increases; Proficiency: 0;

Lightning Field: Deterrence 30,000, Counter-damage 30,000; Proficiency: 0;

Lightning Bind: Control lightning to lock onto the target; Proficiency: 0;

……

Summon Thunder Spirit (requires Nine Heavens Divine Thunder proficiency at max level); Soul Devour: Quantity: (0); Armor Break: Quantity (0); Thunder Cloud: Quantity (0); ……

Boundary Break (requires summoning 8 Thunder Spirits): Impact 1~???, depending on how much lightning is stored;

Lightning Control (requires summoning 8 Thunder Spirits): Can recover all lightning released in the surroundings;

……

Thunder God Descent (requires basic Thunder Technique proficiency at max level, summoning 81 Thunder Spirits): Empty all Spiritual Power in the body, summon the Thunder God Dharma Image, launch a World-Extinguishing Strike, ignore the opponent's defense, duration three minutes (Cooldown: twelve hours);

……

Looking at the attributes of the Thunder Hammer, Lin Bai sighed inwardly; it was indeed a Divine Artifact from a game!

It was a pity that the Skills attached to the hammer required proficiency; to use the hammer as skillfully as the Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning, one had to keep holding the hammer and striking people.

It is far less convenient than game skills; the rewards provided by the system are at max level as soon as the mission is completed.

However.

Enemies are everywhere in the world, and battles will be inevitable in the future.

Presumably, the proficiency will also increase very quickly.

Just thinking about how the Thunder Heavenly King practiced the various skills of his Divine Artifact to the top level, only to fail to even use his greatest ultimate move, Thunder God Descent, when fighting the God of Darkness.

As a result.

The Hammer was lost!

Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh again.

From now on, Beigui shouldn't be called the Thunder Heavenly King; he should be called the Thunder-Hammerless Heavenly King!

……

The defense-ignoring Thunder God Descent did give Lin Bai a reminder: since the Thunder Heavenly King has a trump card super ultimate move, the other eight Heavenly Kings must have them too. In future battles against them, he must guard against them being driven to desperation; until he obtains the Backup reward, he must be extremely cautious……

Thinking about how the super villain's Backup skill requires him to first seize all nine Sacred Artifacts before it is issued, Lin Bai felt a bit of a headache. By the time he seizes all nine Sacred Artifacts, it means he is already invincible—what use would a backup have then!

"With the Thunder Hammer, can one comprehend the laws?" Xu Longyun asked.

Lin Bai handed the Hammer to her casually.

Xu Longyun took the Hammer and then froze on the spot. After a good while, she looked at Lin Bai in surprise and said stumblingly: "This Hammer is too perverted! A three-year-old child could easily use it upon getting it; there is no need for any comprehension at all. As long as there is enough time, anyone can become a Thunder God.

Your Dao of Love and Heavenly Dao have all sorts of restrictions. Even if mortals and heaven-gifted geniuses grow for another ten thousand years, they still can't beat them! This... this... is too unfair."

Lin Bai looked at Xu Longyun and fell silent.

Fine!

If one speaks of unfairness, his system is also unfair.

Encountering these cheaters is indeed the sorrow of ordinary people; no matter what they compare with, even if they risk their lives, they can't keep up!

"It's unfair, too unfair." Xu Longyun was distraught. After seeing the attributes of the Thunder God Hammer, her beliefs began to collapse, and tears streamed down her face before she knew it. "Husband, why! Why did Heaven create these monsters? Why, tell me why? We are also human, also living lives; are we just meant to be their playthings?"

Lin Bai sighed, gently took Xu Longyun's hand, and comforted her softly: "It is precisely because of this that the founder of the Justice Sect could not stand it anymore and sent me here. It is to let me break this unfair world, re-establish order, and let everyone be able to master their own destiny."

"Mm." Xu Longyun reached out to wipe the tears from her face, looked at the still-broken God of War Body, and her gaze gradually became firm. "Husband, I will assist you. This heavy burden should not be carried by you alone. Even if my strength is weak, I must contribute to opposing the Game Company. This company should not exist in the world. Husband, I finally understand why you have been delaying practicing the Dao of Love; it is we who have delayed you."

"There is no delay or not; every law cultivation leads to the same destination in the end. Xiaoyun, always firmly believe that man can conquer heaven. Moreover, it is not just us fighting; behind us, the ancestor of the Justice Sect is secretly helping us!" Lin Bai smiled and said, "Xiaoyun, you won't be an ordinary person in the future either. You have seen the attributes of the Hammer; if I can seize one Sacred Artifact, I can seize more. When the time comes, you can choose one and go to the Immortal World to be a Heavenly King. To defeat the enemy, we can only rely on making ourselves strong."

"Mm." Xu Longyun nodded again with a smile and returned the Hammer to Lin Bai. "Husband, I don't believe in Heaven, I only believe in you. Anyone can be sacrificed, but you cannot."

"No one will die." Lin Bai took back the Hammer and was about to test the newly acquired skill, Shadow-Following, when he caught sight of the God of War Body in a glance.

In a short while, the broken God of War Body had already automatically repaired more than half; the hole in the chest was filled, and the missing large chunk of waist muscle and internal organs were actually also slowly repairing...

This is not an effect that pills or the cultivation methods of Tianmo Mountain could achieve.

You know, seeing the God of War Body so severely damaged, Lin Bai had already prepared to put him into a card to restore him, even if it limited his development.

Now it seems that it is not needed at all.

Sure enough, how could a body rewarded by the system be just a simple Celestial human body?

Even the Heavenly Demon Heart is so powerful, let alone the God of War Body!

Possessing the potential for rapid growth, and being able to self-repair after being injured...

This is what truly lives up to the title of God of War Body!

Since it can self-repair, then next, he can indeed use him to do some things.

"Is Xingtian's vitality this strong?" Xu Longyun also saw Xingtian's abnormality and asked in surprise.

"He is a God of War Puppet created by the ancestor of the Justice Sect; the ancestor must have used the characteristics of Celestial humans and added some modifications." Lin Bai made up a reason casually, looked at Xu Longyun, and suddenly activated Shadow-Following.

This time, he did not use Flash; he was already stuck behind Xu Longyun.

Feeling the warm breath coming from behind, Xu Longyun's face turned red instantly, and she said coquettishly: "Husband, stop fooling around, there are still people outside!"

"Xiaoyun, just now when I was seizing things, I comprehended a movement technique; let me try it on you." Lin Bai's mind was still on the battle between the Thunder Heavenly King and the God of Darkness, and he did not notice Xu Longyun's strangeness at all. He said in her ear, "I grant you Teleportation; you can go wherever you want to go."

"……" Xu Longyun clenched her fists tightly. No matter how magnanimous she was, hearing such a sentence when she was feeling emotional, she almost couldn't help but explode. She wanted to leave Lin Bai and ignore him, but remembering the grand ambitions from just now, she sighed helplessly and nodded silently, "Okay."

Flash!

Xu Longyun appeared on Green Wood Peak without any warning.

Before she could even stand steady, she felt Lin Bai's body again, as if he had transmitted over while sticking to her.

She was slightly stunned and teleported herself away again. This time she specifically looked for a dark corner, but still did not shake off Lin Bai.

Change position again.

This time, Lin Bai did not follow. Xu Longyun wondered if Lin Bai's divine ability had failed, but the next second, Lin Bai's hand was already resting on her shoulder.

"Go up the Magpie Bridge."

There was unconcealable joy in Lin Bai's tone.

Xu Longyun obediently flashed to the front of a Magpie Bridge, found a bridge guardian, and teleported herself to Zhen City.

Soon.

Lin Bai stuck to her again.

Ignoring the ambiguous posture the surrounding people saw them in, Xu Longyun asked in surprise: "You came from the Magpie Bridge?"

Lin Bai shook his head with a smile and said: "Go to the Real World."

Xu Longyun was stunned in astonishment, transferred through several Magpie Bridges in succession, and arrived at the Real World.

Similarly, as soon as she arrived in the real world, Lin Bai had already appeared and stuck behind her.

She couldn't help but tremble, suddenly realizing the terror of Lin Bai's new divine ability. If this divine ability were used for assassination, no one in the world should be able to escape.

Lin Bai also confirmed the usage method of the new skill.

It is indeed as the name Shadow-Following suggests: it ignores distance and even ignores space.

As long as he wants, he can appear behind the target at any time. If it were only the Villain System, Shadow-Following could only target targets within the line of sight, which would just be a useless divine ability.

However, the Great Heavenly Venerable System provided marking and Positioning Skills.

With the two combined, theoretically, he could appear behind any target he had marked.

Combined further with the Absolute Suppression of the Chef God System, Lin Bai felt confident he could take down anyone, and with the Extraction from the Super Villain System, it would be even better...

Having personally witnessed the battle between the Heavenly King of Lightning and the God of Darkness, Lin Bai still felt that the gap between himself and top-tier experts was vast.

Now.

He suddenly felt that the gap had shrunk infinitely.

Shadow Follower was even more convenient than the Magpie Bridge; he could completely switch marks to run away at any time...

Unless someone could kill him in an instant, no one under heaven would be able to harm him.

With Shadow Follower, snatching Magic Tools should be even simpler.

Life was indeed full of surprises everywhere.

You will never know which Skill will cause your strength to undergo a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change...
