Chapter 121 Darling, why did you kidnap another girl?
A long-awaited breakthrough.
Moreover, it was a last-minute promotion when there was a crisis ahead.
As the last line of text fell, the increase in Rhodes's stats came into view.
Your panel has been updated.
Rod Chivenlance
[Upgrade Level: Four times]
【property】:
Physical Fitness: 410→580
[Agility]: 375 → 524
[Physical Constitution]: 399→556
[Spirit]: 420 → 610
[Faith Deity: Outer God (Unique) (Abnormal)]
[Talent: You can fuse the characteristics of all other divine species to create entirely new talent skills.]
[Currently possessing divine seeds: God of Soul Evolution, God of Sky-Soaring Dragons, God of Life's Radiance, God of Elves]
[Current number of God Seeds obtainable: 1]
Please choose a new faith to make your divine seed even more terrifying.
At this moment, Rhodes' attribute values were officially refreshed, reaching the level of 500 points after four upgrades!
This is not as simple as increasing each attribute by two hundred points or so—because for Rhodes, increasing attribute values has never been his special ability.
Attributes are merely the foundation supporting his high-multiplier, heaven-defying skills [Holy Light Dragon God Slash LV.1]:
Negative effects: When you activate this skill, 80% of your health will be automatically deducted, and your maximum health will continuously decrease by 10%.
24 hours.
Positive effect: You can create a powerful [divine] attack that surpasses the limits of physics. This attack deals physical damage equal to 150% of your value and inflicts a mental trauma effect equal to 150% of your value.
Limitation: 24-hour cooldown.
A powerful, purely numerical burst damage skill.
Very strong, without a doubt.
This mere 1.5x attack bonus should not be underestimated.
With all his skills activated, Rhodes's base attribute values and physical strength already reach a terrifying level of over a thousand points.
With a damage multiplier of 1.5x, or even with soul damage stacked with physical damage, his physique can reach a bizarre strength of over 1500 points.
In fact, this is only because the skill is only a level 1 skill. If it continues to be upgraded, its strength will be unimaginable!
"Not bad, really not bad — the first burst blood skill."
Rhodes clenched his fists, but did not rush to calm his breathing.
Because his breakthrough is not yet complete.
He planned to take this opportunity to directly fuse with the next divine seed as well.
Yes.
His greatest characteristic is his ability to merge with the bodies of twelve gods, isn't that?
The enemy now facing him is the god who dwells in the deep sea. He dares not say that he can slowly merge with the next god seed later.
Even if it's just about influencing the soul, he must strive to enhance every single attribute value.
There's no need to think about the Demon God Seed at this moment; since the principles haven't been fully understood, it's better to fuse with it as late as possible.
Moreover, Rhodes had already prepared the next god to be successfully fused with, namely the [God of Arts and Crafts].
The fourth of the twelve gods, and also the god who is hailed as the most elegant.
The word "skill" here is actually composed of two different things: "skill" and "art".
Skill is technique, while art is art.
The most distinctive feature of the [God of Arts] is that His abilities have a strong effect on weapon specialization.
The Divine Spine Master of the Artisan God can often create special buffs for the entire team's weapons, and can also bring special enhancements to himself in areas such as [Swordsmanship], [Spearmanship], and [Spells].
Rhodes knew very well that the Elf Dragon Sword was an excellent specialized weapon.
Under normal circumstances, all he can do is wield the Dragon Sword and hack and slash around randomly, which is just too ridiculous.
Therefore, obtaining the blessing of the God of Skill to enhance swordsmanship was already part of Rhodes' plan.
"Then—let's merge."
A glint flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and a strange and violent aura began to emanate from him.
The fusion of this fifth [Divine Seed] has clearly undergone a different change compared to the previous times!
Just as the divine seeds repelled each other to the limit, when another divine seed bead was added, Rhodes' skin seemed to tear open and bleed.
A frenzied power began to surge, shattering all the meridians, and blood began to flow from the eyes!
It stung terribly!
When the feeling of his body about to explode spread throughout his body, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little scared.
What's going on?
However, this doubt was only momentary.
Because when this repulsion reaches its limit, it all disappears.
The repulsive force was erased, and the body's collapse was instantly repaired.
And what remained last was that clear trace of writing: [Craftsmanship]
At this moment, the source in Rhodes' mind began to change.
A dazzling purple crystal appeared in his consciousness and flew directly to the divine essences that Rhodes had originally merged together.
In the blink of an eye, the crystal was completely absorbed and digested without causing any ripples. [You have fused with the divine seed to create a brand new skill.]
[The current divine seed supply is saturated. Please upgrade to obtain more space.]
[Attribute Enhancement]
Physical Fitness: 580→710
[Agility]: 524 → 650
[Physical Constitution]: 556→672
[Spirit]: 610 → 733
You have gained entirely new skills.
[Dream Realm Chaos LV.2] → [Reconstruction Realm LV.2]
【Reconstruction Domain LV.2】: With the superposition of a large number of divine seeds, your domain space has been abnormally reorganized.
【Effect 1】: When you activate this skill, you can create your own domain within a 50-meter radius of your original location. Within the domain, all your attributes are increased by 25%, and your soul damage is increased by 25%.
[Effect 2]: When an enemy enters your territory, you can use the special skill [Chaotic Slash], which is a skill that ignores spatial position and hits the enemy 100% of the time.
[Power of Life LV.1] → [Berserk Spirit Life LV.1]
【Mad Spirit Life LV.1】: You can control the growth of plants, causing them to grow into monsters with autonomous attack consciousness, and deal damage to enemies with an attack power equal to your 【Physique】 value.
"ha----?"
Rhodes froze on the spot.
Even he blinked in disbelief, confirming the effects of the skill upgrade once again.
Improving attribute values is a minor matter, but what exactly is enhancement in this area?
[Ignore spatial limitations and hit enemies 100% of the time]?
If he were to fight himself, he would probably report this skill effect, right?
Fortunately, he was the one who gained the skill.
Therefore, this cannot be called being a rogue; it can only be described as having a very skillful technique.
Rhodes approves of this skill.
He came to his senses and calmed himself down a little.
After all, he knew that even a powerful domain must have its limitations; perhaps the skill description simply didn't specify the restrictions on using [Chaotic Slash] within the domain.
While it's possible that [Rampage] can indeed ignore everything and hit the enemy 100% of the time, it might also only be usable three times per minute.
So in the end, he still had to find a test subject to try it out.
In an instant, he opened his sharp eyes, and a surge of power spread from his body, an aura that was enough to crush his own power just a second ago.
"Then—let me give it a try, Deep Sea God."
Rhodes stood up, twisted his wrists and neck, and exhaled deeply.
At that instant, Rhodes's gaze met that of Lawns.
Launes had been staring at Rhodes for a long time, and his squatting posture had become a little stiff.
Or rather, he remained silent until Rhodes stood up before belatedly realizing what was happening and said, "Your breakthrough is abnormal."
Launes stood in front of Rhodes, his hand still activating the hourglass space, but the shock written all over his face as he looked up.
That's not right.
No one has ever broken through in two separate stages.
Or rather, who can make their attribute values double after consuming the remains of a god?
By sensing the changes in Rhodes' aura, Lawns roughly estimated the extent of the improvement in his attribute values.
But the more he estimated, the more unbelievable it became to him.
Because that's simply impossible! How could it be possible to absorb 100% of all energy?
I'm afraid Rhodes is not far from being promoted to the fifth level now, right? After all, the attribute value for a normal promotion to the fifth level only needs to reach 1500 points.
"Is that so, Senior Launes?"
Rod stroked his chin thoughtfully, remaining humble.
It wasn't that I was deliberately showing off.
It was simply because he remembered—Laurence Chivenlance.
The second generation of the Chivenland family to take power hundreds of years ago, in other words, the undisputed ancestor.
"I can't imagine what kind of monster you are—have all my descendants become such bizarre beings?"
"No, senior. I'm probably the only one who's special."
"Is that so?" Lawns' eye twitched; something felt off.
never mind----
There's no need to worry about so much.
After all, Rhodes' breakthrough took quite a long time, long enough for him to successfully melt this space. "Well then, our meeting ends here, young man."
Launes withdrew his hand from the hole in the sand and slowly steadied himself, his eyes regaining their composure.
Goodbye, senior.
"Keep up the good work and try your best to break free from this world."
As Lawns finished speaking, his ethereal figure could no longer hold on.
As his body disintegrated, the enormous octagonal cage room also began to distort.
Countless bricks bulged and dented wildly, while the hourglass on the ground, like a whirlpool, began to desperately absorb everything!
Rhodes blinked slightly, and in that instant, Clara was already beside him, and once again tugged at the hem of his clothes with her fingers.
Clara didn't know why she reached out and grabbed Rod's clothes at this moment.
In this stormy hourglass situation, simply holding onto the hem of one's clothes is hardly enough to prevent them from being torn apart.
Or rather, she clearly knew that she wasn't the one who needed protection, but rather the one who needed to protect Rhodes.
But there's nothing I can do.
Whether it was his habit of shielding him when passing through a gust of wind, or during his fight with Lawns, he always walked in front of him, protecting him from behind.
It was precisely because of Rhodes's simple habits that she developed a strong desire to be protected.
Rod was only stunned for a moment, then pondered for half a second before wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting Clara up like he was holding a dog.
Although it's unclear whether this person is an enemy or an ally, as long as she doesn't explode, keeping an eye on her is definitely the right thing to do.
After all, she is very likely a necessary condition for solving the final problem level—this was already clear during the recent probing.
As for why not just hold hands?
Rhodes certainly didn't want to be rolling around in the hourglass and have his arm break off due to the powerful torque.
"Are you alright?" Rod asked.
"Yes, I'm sure I'll be fine, Rod." Clara nodded a little nervously.
Her waist was touched—she could tell that this was an extremely rare occurrence in her life.
It's so itchy————
Her tiny, fidgety toes twitched in the air as she bit her lip, forcing herself to speak, "Or rather, Rhodes, are you alright?"
"Of course, you've broken through, and you're in great shape." Rhodes nodded. "According to what you said, our next opponent is the Deep Sea God—Charlotte."
The moment that name reappeared in Clara's mind, that sense of confusion from the fog returned.
She frowned, a troubled look on her pretty face: "I feel—this name is very familiar, and I must have something to do with this name, Rod—"
"Is that so? But that's the name of the Deep Sea God."
"Yeah, that's why I feel so confused."
"It's alright, it doesn't matter how chaotic it gets, because once we get to the final level, everything will be sorted out."
Rhodes finished speaking.
At this moment, the hourglass balance of space completely reversed.
The heavens and earth tilted and twisted, and Rhodes felt as if his body was falling into an abyss, becoming empty, and endless pressure rushed towards him!
His expression was tense as he continued to activate his skills, while also gripping Clara in his hand even tighter.
thump.
It was just an echo.
-
The fog began to clear, and the situation stabilized.
Because the moment Lilith and Cecilia's presence appeared before Rhode, a natural sense of security arose.
Lilith and Cecilia exclaimed in unison, "Rhodes!"
"Honey."
Hearing the two girls' voices, Rod snapped out of his dizziness, propped his forehead with his hand, and slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is the space where the "witch" used to live.
The neatly arranged books, toys, and rows of beds appeared haphazardly before Rod's eyes.
But this space is completely different from how the witches used to play and make noise here—there are no witches left, only the echoing silence and a few lonely people.
but----
When Lilith and Cecilia actually called out Rhodes' name, they were stunned.
Because they saw that Rhodes was carrying such a strange girl in his hand.
"Oh no—this is terrible, darling, how did you manage to snag another girl?"
Cecilia's face immediately lit up with a smile.
