Chapter 350-2: Divine-Grade Greatsword, Damaged Umbilical Cord (2)
[Kim scratches his head and looks at the weapon in your hand. It seems he can also sense the blood-colored greatsword’s power.]
[Flanda freezes, her eyes full of curiosity. She seems to want to say something, but she forces herself to hold back.]
[You cannot help asking Flanda whether there is something wrong with this weapon.]
[Flanda shakes her head and explains that she can feel your weapon possesses extremely powerful strength. That kind of strength is already close to a true divine-grade artifact.]
[She was only momentarily delighted at it’s beauty and wanted to play with it, but felt it would be somewhat presumptuous.]
[You pretend to be very open, but in fact you use all your strength to hand Scarlet King’s Sword to Flanda.]
[Flanda’s slender, fair palm grips the hilt. With a light grasp, she lifts the blood-colored greatsword.]
[At once, the blood aura swirling around the blood-colored greatsword surges, and bloodlight fills the entire abdominal cavity!]
[Flanda swings and chops a few times, making the military mole cricket cry out uneasily, trembling even more violently.]
[After swinging a few times, Flanda hands the blood-colored greatsword back to you. Seeing this, Kim also becomes somewhat eager.][But Flanda shakes her head and stops Kim. She slowly says that this weapon is about to give birth to consciousness. It is a weapon close to a divine-grade artifact.]
[To wield this weapon requires extremely powerful physical strength. Even upon reaching the demigod realm, if one does not have extraordinary physical strength, one still cannot control the weapon.]
[Their former civilization revered flesh modification, constantly breaking through the limits of bodily strength, thereby gaining terrifying power and unparalleled speed.]
[The container you just obtained was cloned using her as a template. As long as you can break through to the demigod realm, you will likewise obtain the bodily strength to wield this weapon.]
[Flanda returns the blood-colored greatsword to your hands, and Scarlet King’s Sword returns to its dim bloodlight appearance…]
Lin Xun lets out a sigh of relief, removes the weapon, and puts it back into the Inventory.
The bad news was he could not use the weapon for now. The good news was that as long as he could successfully transform and ascend to demigod, he would be able to equip the weapon without issue.
A demigod-level transformation skill plus a mythic+ grade weapon was enough to give the Purgatory Angel a leap-like increase in strength.
He continued with the real business and checked the spoils in the Inventory.
[Ascended Angel Heart (Epic+ item): A constantly beating heart, covered in twisted, rampant blood vessels. It carries not the slightest sense of holiness, giving people a cruel, deformed feeling.]
[While carrying this item, when Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel dies, you will be able to choose whether to use this item to revive the shell without loss.]
[If you choose to revive the shell, Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel will revive at full status at the death location, and gain a 20% increase to Strength attribute and Agility attribute!]
“Mm, not a bad item. The Purgatory Angel is already strong enough, and being able to use two lives to fight a BOSS makes it even more twisted.”
Lin Xun rubs his chin and looks at the next item.
[Purgatory Angel’s Code of Action (Legendary item): A thin booklet. On the cover is drawn a line of beautiful angels soaring across the sky, driving back ugly demons in groups on the earth.]
[This item has two ways to use it. The first is to use it directly. According to the angel honorific names recorded in the booklet, you unlock the true name of the Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel.]
[The second is to tear the booklet apart, temporarily raising the ascension success probability of the mythic skill Purgatory Angel Holy Descent to 100%.]
Lin Xun had not seen a True Name item for a long time.
True Name items were often something that only had a chance to drop after obtaining a shell. If the Apostle already knew the true name, then True Name items would not drop again.
After he obtained Omniscient Visage, every time he possessed a shell he could learn the true name, so he naturally said goodbye to True Name items forever.
The item called Purgatory Angel’s Code of Action not only had the use of learning the true name, it also had the effect of increasing the transformation probability, so it could not simply be counted as a True Name item, and therefore it could drop.
“One guaranteed chance to go 100% berserk. This item’s value is quite precious. It has to be used at a critical moment.”
Even though Lin Xun had a fate-changing artifact, he could not guarantee that the fate-changing artifact would work every single time.
Based on past experience, most of the time the Luck Value rolled by the fate-changing artifact was usually only ten-something or twenty-something points.
If he wanted to successfully go berserk, he still had to rely on face.
Now having a big guarantee was extremely precious.
[Damaged Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord (Legendary+ item): The umbilical cord is the most precious gift bestowed by the Desire Wet Nurse, and also the child’s source of life. This cord is not a replica, but an incomplete damaged item.]
[Use this item on a insect-person shell. You will be able to increase the quality of a low-grade insect-person shell, raise its level by 1 level, and the upper limit of the increase cannot exceed this item’s grade.]
[Use this item directly. You will have a chance to obtain the location of the complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord.]
[While holding this item, you will be able to cast the mythic skill Purgatory Angel Holy Descent. Because this umbilical cord is not yet complete, you can only rely on this item to cast Purgatory Angel Holy Descent three times. Whether or not the ascension succeeds, it will consume the power within the umbilical cord. Remaining cast count 3/3.]
Lin Xun stares at the item description, his face full of question marks.
He hurriedly opened the panel again to check. The skill description of Purgatory Angel Holy Descent clearly said.
[Only when you possess or fuse complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord can you cast this skill.]
“Damn! I’ve become the Crimson Eye too.”
When the item dropped, he did not pay attention. He only noticed the words Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord.
He thought this item was the skill’s matching item, but he did not expect that it was not complete, but damaged, and it even had a usage limit.
[Flanda at your side notices the Damaged Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord in your hands. After weighing it repeatedly, she tells you…]
[According to the plan you mentioned earlier, you want to forcibly fuse foreign factors and contend with the Desire Wet Nurse for the power source of evil to stop the Desire Wet Nurse’s ambition.]
[If you want to contend for power through this method, at minimum you need a demigod body to barely accomplish it.]
[Because it already involves the world’s fundamental rules. Mortals cannot touch rules.]
[The stronger the shell you obtain, the greater the possibility of contending for the power source…]
[And the Prototype Purgatory Angel you just obtained, even if it ascends successfully, can only remain at the demigod realm briefly and cannot retain the power source.]
[Using this shell, it is inevitable that you cannot contend with the Desire Wet Nurse.]
[The damaged umbilical cord is the concrete physical manifestation of factors. It has an indistinct connection with other umbilical cords that contain similar factors.]
[However, the connection between the two is far too weak. If not for Firefly’s favor, the last time you used the Shriveled Replica Umbilical Cord, you most likely would not have been able to learn the laboratory’s location.]
[If you want to use this damaged umbilical cord to obtain a complete umbilical cord, the probability is far too tiny. She does not advise you to try.]
[Moreover, even if you are lucky… even if you again receive Firefly’s favor and can learn the location.]
[The place where the complete umbilical cord is stored will certainly be more dangerous than the laboratory just now. With her current strength, she likely cannot protect you.]
[Going there, the probability of being watched and discovered by the Desire Wet Nurse will also increase…]
[Of course, if you have made up your mind to use this umbilical cord, she will not stop you.]
[The only request is that she hopes you wait until she has completely digested the Firefly factors before you use this umbilical cord.]
[That way, even if you are discovered by the Desire Wet Nurse, she can block the Desire Wet Nurse for you for a moment, allowing you a chance to escape… even if it is only a sliver of possibility.]
[When Flanda says this, she meets your eyes. Her gaze is full of earnest pleading.]
[Kim suddenly stands up and loudly vows that you are his benefactor. Whoever wants to harm you must first step over his corpse, even if it is the Desire Wet Nurse!]
[Kim’s words are forceful and resounding, as is its determined gaze.]
Lin Xun was definitely going to use the damaged umbilical cord.
The damaged umbilical cord was a consumable. Even if his luck exploded, at most he could only get three ‘go berserk’ chances.
According to the skill description, the complete umbilical cord was very likely a permanent item, allowing the transformation skill to be used without limit, letting him obtain stable demigod power.
And the damaged umbilical cord was connected to the Purgatory Angel shell. Then was the complete umbilical cord connected to an even higher-grade shell?
If the answer was yes, then even knowing the difficulty was enormous, he still had to try.
Because only demigods, or even true gods, could possibly contend with the Desire Wet Nurse!
