[Note: Your bravery has drawn the attention of the Brutal God, Brutal God favorability +10]
“Damn it!”
Seeing thest prompt, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but burst into swearing, then he sighed helplessly.
In this world, Chaos Evil Gods are a bizarre existence. Most of the times, even if you defeat them, they won’t grow to hate or feel antagonistic towards you. Instead, they might appreciate you even more because of that.
Take the Brutal God, for instance. It doesn’t care about who wins or loses. It concerns itself only with brave warriors, regardless of their alignments. As long as you show great strength and chivalry, you’ll draw the attention of Brutal God. Once it sets it sights on you, it’ll do everything it can to pull you into its camp.
What? You’re a brave and righteous warrior?
No problem, falling into darkness can be good. I don’t care about such things.
So often, the more you fight the Chaos Evil Gods, the higher their favorability towards you bes. Once it’s high enough, they’ll try their best to pull you into their camp, to let you join them.
From some perspective, it’s incredibly annoying.
Forget it, there’s no use thinking about it now.
Duanmu Huai shook his head, then looked down at the reward in front of him. The best reward this time was naturally the[Original Gene], a special type of permanent gene. There are twenty kinds in total. Each original gene possesses remarkably powerful abilities. These original genes are normally scattered over twentys and can only be obtained by finding a temple and passing a trial. Still, they just gave me one… Hmm, sure enough, risk and reward are directly proportional.
“I wonder what original gene I’ll draw.”
Staring at the interface before him, Duanmu Huai rubbed his hands together. Right now, what he wanted most was the Number Nine Holy Blood Angel Gene. Besides other things, this original gene gives a permanent full-value charm bonus. When Duanmu Huai was a gamer, the first one he got was the Holy Blood Angel Gene. After that, his questing was akin to eating a max level face fruit, everyone liked him. Especially now, when I’ve physically traveled through and my charm is low, only the Holy Blood Angel Gene could save my measly 1 point charm value.
Let’s begin!
Taking a deep breath, Duanmu Huai reached out and tapped the interface before him. The numbers in front of him quickly started to spin, and then……
[Random Original Gene Determined]
[Acquired Fifteenth Scorched Original Gene]
[Gained Abilities”Subspace Affinity””Mental Induction””Psychic Specialization”]
[Subspace Affinity: Each level increases the limit/Resistance of Subspace Heat by 10]
[Mental Induction: Ability tomunicate through mental induction]
[Psychic Specialization: Level of spiritual energy spells power +1]
“…… eptable.”
Looking at the description in front of him, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly. Although it’s not a Holy Blood Angel, it’s… tolerable.
In honesty though, besides[Subspace Affinity], the other two skills didn’t seem like they would be very useful. After all, a Soul Walker is essentially a summoner, not a Skywalker who ys with elemental spells—having the bonus of Psychic Specialization doesn’t benefit him much.
Mental Induction is handy, allowing him tomunicate without distance constraints. But Duanmu Huai doesn’t ess to any other Psychics’ contact information anyway.
Forget it; it’s better than getting nothing.
At least with [Subspace Affinity]and [Subspace Armor], Duanmu Huai’s limit to sub-space overheating has increased a lot. Now he doesn’t have to worry about the Soul card’s limit not being enough.
No matter what, after this battle, the pursuit of the Evil God Cultists could be considered over, and Duanmu Huai set off again with Elisa. However, this time, there was another person joining them.
“Eh? Was this youngdy summoned by you, Sir ck Knight?”
Seeing Ogis standing next to Duanmu Huai – petite figure, sun umbre in one hand, traveling case in the other – Elisa let out an astonished gasp. Honestly, seeing a beautiful young girl suddenly apanying Duanmu Huai was scary enough, but upon realizing that Ogis was summoned by Duanmu Huai, Elisa was even more amazed.
“Sir ck Knight, are you a mage?”
“I dabble.”
Duanmu Huai didn’t deny it. Every world has psychics, but the term used to refer to psychics varies in different civilizations: priests, clerics, mages, sorcerers, shamans, even superhumans – all who can use supernatural powers can be considered psychics.
“………………”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Elisa gaped at the giant standing in front of her, towering at two and a half meters, holding a War Hammer, donned in heavy armor…
Is he actually a mage?!
“Alright, let’s move on.”
Duanmu Huai withdrew his Mechanical Sword and swung his War Hammer.
After this battle, they should be able to rx for a while.
As Duanmu Huai conjectured, afterward, they were no longer besieged by the Evil God Cultists. Perhaps the death of the Bloodthirsty demon intimidated the Evil God Cultists, or perhaps they had other ns. Either way, this swarm of annoying flies no longer appeared before them.
With the threat of pursuers gone, Elisa rxed a lot. Throughout their journey, she was tirelessly trying to converse with Ogis, whose responses were like that of a robot. Most of the time, she just held her travel case in one hand, her umbre in the other, and quietly followed Duanmu Huai.
From Elisa’s information, Duanmu Huai also learnt some facts about this.
ording to Elisa, this world was like an ordinary fantasy world. Besides humans, there were several different races. Humans dominated the central region of the continent and established a nation called the Glorious Empire. However, the Empire was in a precarious situation due to the sudden death of the previous ruler. His heirs have begun to fight for power, leading to the Empire being divided. Meanwhile, the alien races have taken this opportunity to invade the Empire, and the Evil God Cultists are spreading everywhere. The entire Empire is now in Chaos.
Duanmu Huai was not surprised by this. After all… he had encountered such situations before.
After two or three days of travel, the trio finally saw a city wall not far off.
“That’s it, Sir ck Knight!”
Upon seeing the city wall, Elisa immediately eximed in excitement.
“That’s the City of Silver!”
“The situation doesn’t look good.”
However, in contrast to Elisa’s excitement, Duanmu Huai’s facial expression darkened. Looking at the ck smoke rising high into the sky in the distance, he murmured to himself.
“It seems to have been attacked.”
“Eh?!”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Elisa was greatly surprised.
“The City of Silver was attacked?!”
“We’ll know once we get there. Ogis, protect Elisa! I’ll go ahead!”
After saying this, Duanmu Huai suddenly picked up his pace and charged forward.
With the aid of his Power Armor, Duanmu Huai’s speed far surpassed a galloping horse. In just a moment, he crossed the wilderness and arrived at the city gate – where the sturdy wooden gate had been smashed down. Dead bodies of city guards and monstersy scattered everywhere.
Typical Alien Race siege, they really have rotten luck.
As a veteran yer, Duanmu Huai recognized the situation at once. Clearly, this frontier city had been attacked by the Alien Race. All that was left to ascertain was whether the city had been cleansedpletely or was still resisting…
Nevertheless, entering it would reveal everything!
