The Era of Gods

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 I Am Very Powerful Now

“`

Extraordinary Ability: Godspeed

Passive Attributes: Increase Speed by 50%, ignore normal deceleration abilities.

Active Attributes: Consumes spiritual power to actively cast on a single individual, increasing the target’s moving speed by 200% and jumping distance by 500%, slightly enhancing dodge ability while running, lasting 180 seconds. During this period, the target cannot be slowed down by any effects of the same rank or lower, higher-ranked deceleration effects are reduced by 50%, and possesses the ability to Ignore Terrain, including walking on water.

Can be used on groups, increasing group targets’ moving speed by 100% and jumping distance by 200%, lasting 180 seconds. During this period, deceleration effects below Rank 6 are significantly weakened, and the ability to stay in special terrains is enhanced.

Compared to the previous version, the power has been significantly weakened, by more than half, but in exchange, the usage conditions have been greatly reduced, to about one third of the original. Now Small Fishman can use it as well, with enough spiritual power for one use per day.

The third extraordinary ability to summon enhanced Water Elements has not changed; further reduction would make it impossible to summon Transcendent Water Elementals of Rank 6, and diminishing the power too much would render it useless.

If Small Fishman can’t use it, that’s fine; as long as other Clan abilities work, summoning 60-70 thousand at this stage is already overpowered.

The fourth extraordinary ability, Berserk, has also been drastically reduced.

Extraordinary Ability: Transcendent Berserk.

Passive Attributes: After use, it increases the user’s Attack Speed and Moving Speed by 50%, and significantly reduces the resistance to pain and negative status. The heavier the injury, the stronger the effect, with a maximum increase of 100%.

Extraordinary Ability: Flame Burst Fireball.

Attributes: Upon paying enough spiritual power, summon a powerful fireball that causes direct explosion damage and continuous burning damage to enemies within a radius of fifteen meters.

After being weakened, the usage conditions for these extraordinary abilities are not much different from Godspeed, all of them being within the Small Fishman’s capacity for daily use.

Other things aside, this Flame Burst Fireball…

Well, due to the significant weakening, the original Cloud Burst Fireball did not live up to its name and was renamed.

Thinking about it, almost 200,000 Small Fishman each launching a Flame Burst could create an incredibly spectacular scene.

By reducing these four extraordinary abilities, nearly forty units of Creation Energy are freed up, plus the currently accumulated 458 units, the total Creation Energy now exceeds 501 units.

With so much Creation Energy, Lin Xiao focused his attention on the numerous Ancient Treasures on his person.

Aside from the Crystal Wall System’s Core he currently possessed, he had seven Ancient Treasures, one Rank 3 Top-tier Heirloom, Prophet Sword, one Rank 2 Ancient Treasure, Horn of Victory, one Rank 2 Ancient Treasure, fragments of the book of law, and four Rank 1 Ancient Treasures, providing a total increase of two points in Constitution and two points in Strength.

The properties of these Ancient Treasures were somewhat scattered, but since he had a lot of Creation Energy on hand, Lin Xiao considered whether to go all out and use these mismatched Ancient Treasures to synthesize and enhance a Rank 4 superior Ancient Treasure, much like the extremely powerful treasure he previously created in the Ruins of Myriad.

Quality is more valuable than quantity with weaponry; the power of a top-tier Ancient Treasure can be much stronger than a pile of lower-ranked ones.

After scanning over the numerous Ancient Treasures, his gaze finally settled on the Sword of the Prophet Zalank and the Horn of Victory, these two being the primary materials for the synthesis and enhancement.

Unfortunately, unlike other treasures, Ancient Treasures can’t be mixed with other items; otherwise, he would actually like to integrate something from his hand to create a formidable item.

After scanning the two Ancient Treasures several times, his gaze ultimately fixed on The Sword of the Prophet Zalank.

The choice of this Ancient Treasure wasn’t because it’s a Rank 3 high-quality item surpassing the Horn of Victory, but rather because of its attribute bonuses being quite high and the fact that it increases the Clan’s spiritual power by 200% with these two passive attributes.

Also, he now had a rough draft in mind for the new Ancient Treasure he intended to synthesize and enhance, using this as the base material seemed optimal.

First, he threw the Prophet Sword into the Creation Rubik’s Cube for direct decomposition, then used Creation Energy to meticulously separate the energy representing the Ancient Treasure obtained from this decomposed item.

The Prophet Sword had three passive effects, but in Lin Xiao’s eyes, the last one, also the main effect, ‘Guidance of Prophet Zalank,’ seemed somewhat superfluous to him and was directly converted into Creation Energy while preserving the other two effects for now.

Then, he threw all the other Ancient Treasures, including the Rank 2 Ancient Treasure, Horn of Victory, and the just obtained fragments of the book of law into the Creation Rubik’s Cube for decomposition. Although the Rule Book was part of a certain super Ancient Treasure, it was nearly impossible to complete it, making it practically useless. Better to use it for enhancement, and as for the possibility of making the Rule Book incomplete, that was not his concern.

The moment the fragments of the book of law were decomposed, Lin Xiao faintly sensed a massive book straddling reality and illusion appearing briefly within his perception.

Then, ripples emanated in the Sea of Gods within his Soul, as transparent waves of light spread out, and ten units of Creation Energy vanished straight away.

“I’ve been careless!”

Clearly, he had suffered a backlash from the original Ancient Treasure while decomposing the fragments of the book of law, but the Creation Rubik’s Cube had blocked it.

The consumption of ten units of Creation Energy in an instant indicated a significant backlash.

Fortunately, with the Creation Rubik’s Cube as a barrier, not only was the backlash ineffective, but also completely blocked off the Rule Book, so there was no further fear of repercussions in the future.

“`

Melt all ancient treasures and integrate them into the Prophet Sword. Then, consume a large amount of Creation Energy to start strengthening.

The last effect of the Prophet Sword decomposed earlier resulted in eighteen units of Creation Energy, all of which were infused into it, then merged with all the ancient treasures and strengthened according to the effects he had envisioned.

“Strengthening according to the effects Lin Xiao had envisioned” means to enhance according to the directions he specified, even if the integrated ancient treasures did not have such strengthening aspects like increasing spiritual power.

The second effect of the earlier Prophet Sword was to enhance the spiritual intensity of all members of the Clan, which refers to the strength of the spirit and not the increase of spiritual power.

Spiritual power is a derivative of a strong spirit. Generally, non-magic-based creatures do not possess strong spirits, and hence their spiritual power is not prominent.

Just like possessing the Prophet Sword along with the Crystal Wall System’s Core, which collectively increased five points of spirit and 200% of spiritual intensity, it only increased spirit and intensity, but not spiritual power.

That means the spiritual intensity of the Clan increased, resistance to negative mental states increased, but spiritual power did not increase.

Therefore, the spiritual power of the Small Fishman did not increase much, and they could not summon various extraordinary abilities through the Extraordinary Magic Network.

What he needed to do now was to activate the spiritual power of the Clan.

According to his preset, a constant stream of Creation Energy merged into this energy mass that had integrated all the ancient treasures, strengthening it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this regard, Lin Xiao was not stingy; thirty, fifty, seventy, one hundred and twenty, and even more units of Creation Energy were poured in, as the power emitted by this mass of ancient treasure energy grew stronger and more terrifying until he had infused two hundred and thirty units of Creation Energy and the aura of the ancient treasures broke through a certain limit before stopping.

Then, with a thought, this mass of ancient treasure energy, which was dozens of times more powerful than the complete Rank 3 Top-tier Heirloom Prophet Sword, gradually took shape, pausing for a moment before turning into an exquisitely designed shield.

Ancient Treasure: Shield of Truth (Rank 4 Top-level Ancient Treasure)

Passive Effect One: Upload to Divine Realm, all stats of Clan members +5.

Passive Effect Two: Light of Wisdom, upload to Divine Realm, all members of the Clan’s spiritual intensity +300%, spiritual power +300%, willpower +300%, and automatically gain the Broadly Knowledgeable feat.

Passive Effect Three: Horn of Victory, upload to Divine Realm, whenever battle commences, all members of the Clan will hear the sound of the Horn of Victory, under which state the Clan’s morale will remain at its peak unshakable state, unable to be dispersed.

Active Effect Four: Consumes at least one point of Divinity and over a hundred points of Divine Power, designates a member of the Clan who has reached the species’ upper limit to break through the species’ upper limit, the specific consumption is related to the designated target’s strength and condition.

???????

Evaluation: I am the Truth!

“…”

Lin Xiao stroked his chin, thinking for a long time, speechless.

Whether it was the increase in basic attributes, additional special effects, and abilities, etc., all exceeded his expectation, and he was completely at a loss for words.

Naturally, this item was immediately uploaded to the Divine Realm. With the addition of the Crystal Wall System’s Core shell that added three points to all attributes, just the ancient treasures’ bonus alone added eight points to all attributes for all Clan members. Given that the attributes for a Rank 4 creature range between 5-10 points, the bonus from this ancient treasure alone was enough to make a freshly matured Small Fishman possess attributes comparable to a Level 4 creature.

And moreover, among the strongest of Rank 4 creatures. If a Small Fishman advanced to Level 3, they could verge on Fifth Level.

Considering over two hundred thousand, at least Rank 4 Small Fishmen, who will continue to reproduce and produce more, one can envision how terrifying it would be.

After clicking his tongue in wonder, Lin Xiao looked away from his reflection and turned to the other gains.

First, there were thirty-seven Nightmare Cards, most of which were cards that increased the variety and number of Nightmare Creatures, with a minority being resource cards.

Considering that all these cards had to be purified again, and there were no particularly precious cards among them, Lin Xiao directly decomposed them all, accumulating a large amount of Creative Power.

Although this substance was not as magical as Creation Energy, not everything requires Creation Energy; this will come in handy for ordinary decomposition and synthesis of cards in the future.

Then there was the Soul of God of the Children of Nightmare. As an entity of Divine Territory civilization similar to Human Divine Territory Players, the Children of Nightmare did not follow the route of Deity. Still, the unique Nightmare Origin Power they gathered from numerous Nightmare Creatures can be converted into Divine Power, and the Original Nightmare Flame can be converted into Divinity.

Or, to say, the Nightmare Origin Power is equivalent to the Divine Power in the Human World, and the Original Nightmare Flame is equivalent to Divinity.

The Nightmare Origin Power might be set aside, but the residual Nightmare Flame cannot be ignored. He directly tossed the leftover Soul of God of the Children of Nightmare into the Creation Rubik’s Cube to refine back and forth, and soon twenty-three units of Divinity were refined out of it.

“This Divinity…”

After considering for a moment, Lin Xiao decided not to use it for himself but instead turned his gaze to the last attribute of the Shield of Truth.

Active Effect Four: Consumes at least one point of Divinity and over a hundred points of Divine Power, designates a member of the Clan who has reached the species’ upper limit to break through the species’ upper limit, the specific consumption is related to the designated target’s strength and condition.
