Chapter 594 514: Banker's Hour [Double-Length]
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, coursing over Klosolan's body surface. The sparking electric arcs continuously tempered the woman's flesh, the current flowing through her entire body, saturating her muscles and bones. Her dazzling long hair grew even brighter.
The double electric quenching caused a blue-black tattoo to appear on her bronzed back, resembling twisting mathematical figures, her expression exuberant.
With 'Electric Quenching' reaching ten layers, she could even arm-wrestle with the God of Killing Changqing. At twelve layers, she could confront him head-on.
She was confident that when Electric Quenching stacked up fifteen times, she could defeat that guy head-on; no one could beat her in a prolonged battle!
As time passed, the arena occasionally erupted with blinding electric light, accompanied by the fierce roar of a lion and dragon, releasing an astonishing force that pierced the air.
"Why isn't she fighting back?" Angelina yawned, "She's letting her electric quenching continue, her attributes will be amplified to a terrifying value."
During a previous resource battle, she confronted Klosolan directly, and at that time, the guy's electric quenching had already stacked to nine layers. The moment she engaged, she was at a disadvantage. If Bai Youyou hadn't arrived timely and joined in surrounding Klosolan, she would have been in a very passive situation.
"Fierce Tiger Roar!"
In the arena, the woman shouted loudly, and behind her, the golden giant tiger's shadow similarly roared to the sky, possessing infinite might as it charged towards Xu Xiaoyou.
From Xu Xiaoyou's perspective, the giant tiger turned from virtual to real and became infinitely large, approaching like a mountain!
The priority of [Attack Deflection] was not enough to dodge this attack. As she met opponents with gradually stronger abilities, many reliably effective premium skill cards slowly became less useful.
Fortunately, she could enhance these skill cards through patches.
The three chips on the roulette machine flew up out of nowhere, transformed into streaks of light, and merged into Xu Xiaoyou's [Attack Deflection].
The plain premium card emitted light, the original card face gradually dissipated, and was reconstructed by new light spots, replaced by a Card with a violet pattern [Attack Deflection·Surpass].
Her body was suddenly engulfed by white light.
The residual might of the tiger's roar swept across the arena, even the host on stage couldn't help but shudder:
"We can see that President Klosolan's super killing struck Dark Gold Rose head-on, coupled with the previously accumulated Dark Force, this hit mustn't be pleasant for the Dark Gold Rose contestant... Wait!"
Watching the figure emerge from the dust, not only the audience and host present felt surprised but countless analysts widened their eyes too.
"Dark Gold Rose, she's unscathed!"
Xu Xiaoyou calmly brushed the dust off the corner of her clothes, as a gigantic steam dice suddenly descended behind her, electric currents roamed across the spinning and bursting dice face, the numbers in the prize pool frantically accumulated, leaping upward, chips piled like a small mountain poured down in torrents.
"Confirming a wager of 22 chips｜House edge!"
——Banker's Hour!
"High roller."
Xu Xiaoyou opened her hands, embracing the chips descending from the sky like she was hugging the Goddess of Fortune.
Countless Dark Gold Chips fell towards her. Every chip that transformed into light and merged into her body produced different buff effects, some negative, but most were positive enhancements.
Electric Shield, Rectify, Master, Anti-strike, Good Luck Enhancement, Shackled Step, Opal Skin, Charm Transcendent, Fantasy-type Enhancement, Resistance to All Damage Types...
"This guy, what's happening? Look at this guy's buff bar, it's increasing, it's flashing!"
Bet completed, a total of twenty buff effects!
For a moment, the Destiny Dice behind Xu Xiaoyou stopped spinning, electric light violently flashed, erupting instantly with huge waves sweeping the whole arena.
This giant wave is called luck.
Staring at the blonde girl who appeared completely different from before, Klosolan's face grew more solemn.
This guy feels more than twice as strong as before. Could it be that her Divine Gift, like mine, is a growth type that becomes stronger over time?
No, she seems to have accumulated to a certain extent and suddenly started to explode.
```
The true ability of that Divine Gift is only now being revealed.
Klosolan's internal alarms were blaring, and she took a deep breath, her legs ready to strike. Fear was not her style, and she planned to end the match quickly while her opponent was displaying her abilities.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoyou's movements were even faster than hers.
A golden glimmer flashed across the arena, and Xu Xiaoyou shattered the space, swinging her long whip to attack up close!
So fast, Klosolan could only think of that. She instinctively raised her hand to grab the whip, trying to restrain Xu Xiaoyou, but she saw the girl smile, her figure flickering, delivering a fierce whip kick.
The moment this kick hit her directly, Klosolan felt a massive force wash over her, sending her spiraling uncontrollably backwards, crashing straight into the wall.
How could her opponent be this fast?
"President Klosolan, your luck isn't too bad, the jackpot has only accumulated twenty-two chips."
Xu Xiaoyou whispered in Klosolan's ear as her eyes widened, her chest once more assaulted by immense power, causing a hundred-meter section of the wall to crack instantaneously, the terrifying force spreading all the way to the dome.
"But your luck isn't too good either, because when I enter 'Banker's Hour', twenty out of twenty-two effects are beneficial."
"Should I say you're lucky or unlucky?"
"You lunatic, what are you babbling about?"
Klosolan let out a low growl, bursting with power, forcefully pushing Xu Xiaoyou back several steps, kicking up countless boulders, all hurled towards Xu Xiaoyou with great force.
"What I'm saying is, regardless of your luck, at this moment, I am the one who's lucky." Xu Xiaoyou swung her long whip, smashing all the incoming boulders to pieces.
Her figure once again disappeared like a surge of electric light, dashing towards Klosolan's direction.
This is the trait of her Divine Gift "Rose Destiny Armor", liberating the Divine Gift while deploying the domain 'Endless Long Dream'. Within this domain, luck is amplified, and during the first ten minutes of its activation, she enters a 'fundraising' phase, wherein dice of varying numbers are randomly thrown every two minutes, generating 'chips' based on the dice values.
After the fundraising time lapses, she activates the Banker's Hour, where all chips are automatically consumed, converting into effects, with buffs either increasing or decreasing.
During and following this period, chips continue to be generated, and she can consume them for super enhancements of her skill cards.
The cost of all this is that when the Banker's Hour ends, her luck is forcibly reduced to the worst 'unlucky', lasting for more than half an hour.
Whips and fists collide, engulf, and vie back and forth, the arena filled with blurred flickers, flashes of lightning erupting, shattering stone and twisting space wherever they pass.
Xu Xiaoyou instantly blinked a hundred meters away, raised her hand, and several ranged skill cards manifested, fiery, thunderous, windy elements all simultaneously launched towards Klosolan.
Another electric light quenched down, Klosolan's Electric Quenching reached seven levels, her whole body crackled with restless arcs, and with a punch, the burst of current engulfed the entire attack.
Locating Xu Xiaoyou's position instantly, she stomped the ground, rocketing out like a cannon, arriving beside the girl, arcs of electricity screaming, slamming a punch to the ground, the electric ball contracted, and the dense air rapidly expanded and erupted outwards, swallowing towards Xu Xiaoyou!
An electric sword appeared in Xu Xiaoyou's palm, slashing away the encroaching electric light, a pillar of flame erupted from beneath her feet, the ground cracked layer by layer, and a Fire Demon menacingly swept towards Klosolan, gushing out!
Fire and currents collided and intertwined, devouring each other, bright flashes frequently exploding, in just a blink, the two had fought from the left to the right of the arena.
If it weren't witnessed firsthand, no one would believe this was a battle between two team Commanders.
The long whip lashed fiercely like a wandering snake, while the heavy punches fired like a machine gun, all sorts of moves unleashed, both their speeds reaching the peak, leaving only fleeting afterimages on the arena, then disappearing again instantly, seen darting across the walls, ignoring gravity, if not for protective measures, the aftershocks of their confrontation might have completely destroyed the audience seating.
Boom——
A violent flame explosion erupted, the figure brimming with electric arcs was knocked to the ground, quickly breaking through the mist to widen the distance, closely followed by Xu Xiaoyou wielding two pitch-black Steward Long Knives.
She used the [Bad Girl Workshop · Transcend].
The duration of the Banker's Hour is related to her Spiritual Power, unlike Klosolan's progressively stronger Divine Gift in battle, her advantageous interval against her opponent is within the ten to twelve minutes after activating her Divine Gift.
Once Klosolan reached eight layers of Electric Quenching, even in this state she would find it tricky.
She had to end this swiftly.
