Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 701 - 318: Violator and Pillar of the Divine Kingdom

But this move by the Miracle Walker, a divine hand, completely solved his greatest trouble.

With the affiliation acknowledged by the Abyssal Game system, even if the All-Knowing Crystal were restored, it could not harm him.

Wu Chang looked at the All-Knowing Crystal, an uncontrollable smile appearing in his eyes.

Faced with a god of the same level, it seemed the All-Knowing Crystal could not maintain its omniscience; at least it hadn’t discovered the arrangements of the Miracle Walker.

Unlike Wu Chang, the All-Knowing Crystal wasn’t so happy.

It spun rapidly, and a faint red glow appeared on its surface.

It turned red-hot.

The next moment, it fell onto Grace’s photo album, shredding it to pieces and swallowing it whole, then flashed a light and drilled back into his personal space without Wu Chang’s consent.

To Wu Chang, the All-Knowing Crystal’s revenge was just impotent rage.

Anyway, the All-Knowing Crystal was already his; let it have its moment of sulkiness for now.

Having resolved his greatest immediate trouble, he couldn’t help but start humming softly, entering the final stage of the settlement—the title drawing phase.

「The player has achieved a perfect clearance in an out-of-control dungeon (dungeon contamination value ＞ 85) equal to or higher than the character level, earning a random title chest.」

「Players will only draw titles that satisfy the prerequisites.」

Looking at the spinning wheel, he felt no ripples in his heart.

They were all old acquaintances; they could completely skip the lottery and directly award him with a colored title.

The wheel slowly stopped, and the chest that was drawn emitted a familiar golden glow.

Once again, it was the golden legend.

「Title: Violator」

「Title Acquisition Requirements: The player must break five or more rules in a specific rules dungeon and modify at least one rule of the dungeon.」

「Title Description: Rules are meant to be broken; those who can’t break free of the rules are ultimately just pawns.」

「Title Effect: Wearing this title reduces the restraint of Abyss rules on you, allowing you to explore the true limits of the world; in dungeon worlds, the restrictions of dungeon rules on you are reduced, with the reduction proportional to the dungeon contamination rate, increased by (dungeon contamination value/2)%.」

「Note: Colored titles can be stacked with other titles.」

As Wu Chang donned the "Violator" title, he felt an invisible shackle on the surface of his body break free, filling him with an indescribable sense of ease and pleasure.

Besides the sense of ease, the most direct change on the attribute panel was that the Desolate Realm’s attribute restriction on him increased from 200 points to 300 points.

The settlement space exists between the dungeon and reality, and his attribute panel still had the Master of Breaking the Game bonus, increasing the power and energy attributes on his panel, so that the part exceeding 200 points was no longer weakened by 50%.

Outside the conventional Desolate Realm Barrier, when he transformed into a Knight of Strife in the Hymn Company dungeon, he had touched the Desolate Realm’s attribute limit, which was an attribute not exceeding 500 points.

His inspiration told him that this attribute limit was also broken under the influence of the Violator, allowing him to reach the true limit of the Desolate Realm.

Just how much this true limit was would likely not be known until the next time he transformed into a Knight of Strife.

Whether in instances with rules suppression like Cursed or reaching the upper limit when transformed into a Knight of Strife, the increase brought by the Violator was considerable.

But he always felt that the enhancement brought by the Violator was not just as simple as it appeared.

Especially the note in the title, saying that those who can’t break free of the rules are ultimately just pawns, seemed to imply something else, rather than just being a simple evaluation.

Could the Violator, this title, allow him to break free from the rules of the dungeon plane or those of the Abyss, or was it some other higher-level rule?

Wu Chang did not know, but he knew that if he exposed this title, it would most likely confirm the rumors of him cheating once and for all.

But this Violator was officially recognized by the Abyssal Game, he was cheating under official orders, and reporting him wouldn’t work.

The dungeon settlement didn’t end there, after the title drawing, it was time to settle the hidden side quest rewards.

「The player has completed the hidden side quest: Nurture Amber to healthy growth, with Amber’s recognition value not less than 60 points at the end of the dungeon.」

「The player receives a hidden side quest reward: Leaf of the Tree of Miracles.」

A verdant leaf appeared in Wu Chang’s hand, containing powerful life force, resonating with the pseudo-divine miracle in his personal space, with both yearning to merge into one.

He took out the pseudo-divine miracle and placed the leaf of the Tree of Miracles on its top, under a massive infusion of life force, the pseudo-divine miracle, like a projection, solidified from semi-illusory to fully real.

Its leaves turned to gemstone quality, golden lines flowed through the bark, and the mythical fruit, once hoped by the Great Sage for Wu Chang to eat, formed on its branches.

Under the influence of the leaf of the Tree of Miracles, the pseudo-divine miracle metamorphosed into the true Tree of Miracles.
