Infinity Throne

About skills.

Shortly after the advent of the "Apostle Era", Yi Lin noticed something strange.

It seems that not only him, but also every apostle, the probability of obtaining "skills" from various channels has dropped significantly.

Moreover, in the version update notes, there is one thing worth noting.

That is……

The dead apostle, all the skills, equipment, and unused props he acquired from the tower will return to the "Wishing Pond", and the fallen leaves will return to their roots, returning wherever they came from.

So does this mean...

After the universal summons, because there were too many apostles, the skills... were not enough?

Later, Yi Lin vaguely realized this from the words of friends around her or the posts on the apostle forum.

Fewer and fewer people are discussing what kind of skills they get.

Obviously in the past, this kind of thing was quite popular.

Such as——

[Meng Xin accidentally obtained the "A-level" skill in the last trial. Is this probability outrageous? 】

[Excuse me, if someone accidentally acquires an "S-level" skill, can he be considered a master? 】

[I have too many skills now and not enough psionic energy. I’m so troubled! 】

In the past, there were many similar posts on the forum.

But recently, there have been fewer and fewer similar posts.

[Sword Mastery] and [Sword Mastery] are two passive skills related to "sword".

It fell on Yi Lin and was completely useless at the moment.

Ah no~

It's not that they are completely useless. There are two [rare grade] swords in his bag. In Haiting City, Yi Lin suddenly forgot about them and didn't have time to give them to Oda Wu. With these two passive skills, I will be able to act more mellow and comfortable when pretending to be cute in the future.

When he meets people he doesn't know in the future, he can say: I am an ignorant two-sword style melee fighter.

From various signs, one thing is reflected from the side.

"In this circle, involution is getting more and more serious."

No wonder that in Haiting City, the remnants of the Shuguang Sect can easily stir up conflicts between newcomers and senior members.

Compared with newcomers, the advantages that veterans have are really huge.

According to Li Kai, most of the new apostles, after surviving the first cruel preliminary apostle trial, can no longer muster the courage to step into the door trial. Even if they see a brand new world, they would rather be a " Ordinary people" trying to survive.

Yi Lin sighed softly. Thinking of this, he closed the apostle panel silently.

After counting the harvest, the next step is to deal with the "chaos value".

On the ship, nothing major happened for the time being and it was relatively safe.

Even if there was an emergency such as a sea monster emerging from the sea, Yi Lin believed that with Mirien's fighting power, she could easily crush the sea monster with one sword. Maybe you can even have a delicious late-night snack.

Yi Lin has no doubt about this.

Miriam cared more about midnight snacks than anyone else.

Yi Lin closed his eyes and felt his body falling downwards. After a moment, he came to the module space.

This strange space that only existed in his spiritual world was as deserted and dead as ever, with only luminous spheres connected by threads in the depths of the void.

Let’s put the two newly acquired skills aside for now.

Although Yi Lin now has a chaos value of 300,000, which is a gain, compared with the huge chaos value required for module skill upgrades, it is just a drop in the bucket and can only be used for a few times.

"Three hundred thousand."

Yi Lin thought for a moment.

After a while,

He skillfully shrank the module in front of him and pressed his fingers towards the ball of light where the [Grip of Annihilation] was.

Yi Lin was already familiar with the upgrade process, so the confirmation process was omitted.

The skill ball flashed, and [Grasp of Annihilation] spent a full 160,000 chaos points to upgrade to 4 stars.

…

【Grasp of Annihilation】

[Grade] 4 stars

[Consumption] 400 spiritual energy points

[Restriction] Casting spells with bare hands.

[Effect] Lock a 10X10X10 cubic space area with bare hands to produce an explosion of unknown power. The casting distance is directly related to the power of the explosion and the comprehensive attributes of strength, agility, and spirit. There is a certain chance of triggering the "Annihilation" effect, and the triggering chance is related to the lucky attribute.

[Explanation] Your hand is so murderous that it will not recognize its relatives. If you are not careful, you may even die in "annihilation".

…

After skill upgrade,

Yi Lin carefully read the instructions that came with the skill.

This sight made Yi Lin look a little stunned.

It seems that something is wrong.

"It's strange. When the Grasp of Annihilation has three stars, it obviously only consumes 200 spiritual energy points and produces an explosion with a range of '4X4X4'. But how come the four stars become '10X10X10'? Isn't this a common practice? The consumption is doubled. Doubled, the blast range is higher than expected?"

Yi Lin frowned.

The upgrade route for this skill deviates slightly from what was expected.

After a while, Yilin happily accepted this cruel reality.

At first, he thought that the blasting range of the skill should be upgraded to "8X8X8".

As for the extra consumption, hey~ with his current spiritual energy value, is that considered consumption?

The only thing you need to worry about is that with the upgraded [Grip of Annihilation], it may be more difficult than expected to lift the Annihilation Ball. He needs more practice.

all in all,

This skill has become Yi Lin's other skill that can be called the "final decision" after [Bloodthirsty Catastrophe].

In the Apocalypse Guild, Yi Lin and Lao Pan were classified as the "final team".

This "final group" is well-deserved.

Yi Lin himself didn't know what would happen if he threw an annihilation ball.

After thinking about it for a moment, even he was a little scared.

On [Grasp of Annihilation], Yi Lin consumed 160,000 chaos points.

There is only a mere 140,000 chaos points left.

"You can upgrade one more skill."

Yi Lin thought for a moment and made a decisive choice.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Pa~

"Upgrade me!"

…

【Bloodthirsty Disaster】

[Grade] 4 stars

【Consumption】50% HP

[Restrictions] You must say loudly "It's not me, it's the world that's wrong!" before you can activate the skill.

[Effect] Every time a life is killed, you can choose to absorb 40% of the total attributes of the deceased's "Strength", "Agility" and "Spirit", and condense it into 1 layer of "Blood Will". A total of 5 layers of "Blood Will" can be accumulated. After using the skill, all "blood will" can be consumed to generate self-assigned temporary attribute values.

[Duration] 240 seconds

[Cooling time] 48 hours (Note: Apostles will fall into a "weak" state during the skill cooling period)

[Explanation] Death is like the wind, accompanying me! If you are not careful, you may die before killing someone.

…

As the trump card in his arsenal, Yi Lin put [Bloodthirsty Disaster] at the forefront again.

With the overall improvement of Yilin's measurements, her "weak" state is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning.

At the very least, Yi Lin's mental attributes will not drop to the point of causing "cerebral paralysis" to Yi Lin.

This skill, as a comeback skill with residual health, has allowed Yilin to survive many times in headwind situations. At first, Yilin resisted in her heart, but now she feels that it is very good.

After the module skills are upgraded,

The skill consumption is still 50% of the health. There is no change. After all, it is a blood-blasting skill, and Yi Lin can understand it.

The change in the skill is that each level of blood intent is increased from 30% to 40%. Now Yi Lin no longer needs to deliberately choose a target to condense blood will. As long as it is not too bad, with five layers of blood will stacked up, Yi Lin can easily and temporarily upgrade the spirit, agility, and strength attributes to the extraordinary realm of a layer of locks. .

Only when the three attributes break the lock at the same time can Yi Lin be considered to be at full strength. Except for [Echoes of Doom], all other abilities can be used freely.

in addition,

The duration of the skill is extended from 210 seconds to 240 seconds.

A full four minutes.

In these four minutes, once Yi Lin goes crazy, it will become a nightmare for countless people.

The operation is completed.

Yi Lin exits the module space.

After a busy night, the white light of fish belly floated faintly on the distant horizon.

After consuming a lot of spiritual energy, Yi Lin felt a little sleepy, so she lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

The sailing days were dull and tedious.

Cerberus remained as calm as ever despite his performance.

But Yi Lin could see the anxiety deep inside her.

The cargo ship's motor was running loudly and at full power.

Logically speaking, there are only two reasons why Cerberus is so anxious.

One is because of the treasures stolen from the Clock Tower.

The second is that relatives are coming.

As for which one, Yi Lin was too embarrassed to find out.

As for Yi Lin,

He had the experience of sailing in the vast sea for more than two months, which did not make Yi Lin feel any negative emotions.

There are actually folding beds in the cargo ship.

He moved one out, and when the weather was nice, he lay on the deck and sunbathed.

Griffin squatted on the roof of the cockpit, gritting his teeth and staring at the book in Yi Lin's hand.

——"A discussion on the humanistic ethics of animal transformation magic in daily life".

Obviously, this is another book Yi Lin "borrowed" from the clock tower library.

In these short twenty-four hours, from sunrise to sunset, Griffin kept staring at Yi Lin. She found that Yi Lin had already read six different books just by switching back and forth.

"How many copies did he steal!!"

During the boring voyage, an interesting thing happened.

Yi Lin quietly dropped a few drops of blood into the sea, which actually attracted a swarm of hungry sharks.

That night, Mirien, who had been hungry all day, was satisfied with a full shark feast.

Yi Lin changed her tricks and cooked eight dishes using different shark positions...er, body parts.

When Mirien was eating to her heart's content, the ancestral hair on her forehead curled into strange shapes, and she couldn't stop trembling.

After going to sea, it was dusk on the third day.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea red.

The cargo ship quietly arrived on the other side of the English Channel.

On the other side of the coast, when the five Yilins came ashore, they did not encounter any more local armed forces such as robbers and road bandits.

Yi Lin deeply regrets this.

Soon after Yi Lin and others landed.

A very ordinary-looking white dove flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of Yi Lin and the others without knowing whether to live or die.

Just as Yi Lin raised his hand, preparing to take a photo of the passing white pigeon from a distance, Cerberas' expression changed slightly and he quickly suppressed Yi Lin's thoughts.

"It's communication between magicians."

As Cerberus spoke, the white dove landed accurately on Cerberas' shoulder.

"Flying pigeons to deliver messages? What an ancient method!"

The white dove spit out a mini emerald in Cerberus's palm. After Bai Ge completed his mission, he glanced tremblingly in the direction of Yi Lin and flew away as if running for his life.

Cerberus patted the emerald, and the light flashed on the emerald. One after another, ancient words appeared on the emerald.

This is the "rune" magic used by Cerberus. It has many functions and can be used to convey secret messages.

"We have to hurry up."

After reading what the carrier pigeon conveyed, Cerberus had no explanation.

Several people traveled all night and only rested for three hours during the night, speeding all the way towards the German Republic.

Along the way,

There are quite a few abandoned gas stations that are unattended.

Yi Lin finally allowed Nightmare to have a serious meal of pure fuel. The motorcycle under Yi Lin's butt burped all the way, and its tires were swaying as it walked, as if it was drunk from the fuel.

Day five.

According to the established plan, they finally arrived at the legendary "Red-haired City".

That is the former city of Munich.

Along the way, Yi Lin and others deliberately avoided populated areas, so they did not encounter any trouble.

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if there is trouble, it is someone else's trouble.

Munich is an ancient city.

In Yi Lin's consistent impression, the so-called city is nothing more than bustling streets, lively crowds, roads extending in all directions, bright lights at night, and there will never be a day of sleep.

But looking at the city from a distance, "it" gave Yi Lin a different feeling.

If we talk about London, it seems that it is always shrouded in fog, like a shy girl wearing tulle.

Then the city of Munich is a passionate and unrestrained lady.

Gothic domed buildings with ancient decoration styles retain their original appearance. Orange, red, blue, roofs of various bright colors, row upon row, layer upon layer.

Looking down from a high position, the roofs of different colors seem to form an abstract oil painting with unique artistic conception.

A black flag was erected on the roofs of many buildings in the city. The pattern on the flag is a ferocious white skull, with dazzling "red hair" like flames flying above its head.

These flags seem to declare to the outside world that this is the territory of the "red hair".

"Be careful, Joe D. Solomon, known as 'The Redhead,' is not a simple man."

Mirien was outside the city, her expression rarely serious, and she said to Yi Lin: "On the Tower of War regional server rankings, Joe D. Solomon is a rare veteran who takes the initiative to expose his name on the list."

Joe D. Solomon?

Yi Lin opened the "World Personal Ranking" with an expressionless face.

I haven't noticed for a long time, but there are subtle changes in the list.

Yi Lin's own ranking has taken a small step from eighty-seventh in the world to the top eighty-fifth in the world.

Turning the list forward, Yi Lin's eyes narrowed slightly and he saw the name "Joe D. Solomon".

World ranking, 58th!

In terms of comprehensive strength ranking, Joe D. Solomon's ranking is even higher than Yi Lin!

Although Yi Lin knew that his time as an apostle was too short and his progress was too rapid, resulting in his apostle level being far behind the pace of his progress in strength. In terms of comprehensive strength ranking, Yi Lin was greatly hindered by the apostle level, which made Yi Lin suspected of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

but--

Among the hundreds of millions of apostles, those who rank in the top 100 are all elite fighters, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

"The seventh guild in the world, ranked 58th in personal strength."

The rankings are for reference only, but Yi Lin still lifted her spirits a little.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Lin turned around and asked Cerberus, who had a constipated face: "Are you sure that Cescia von Einzbern is still in this city?"

"I can't be sure."

Cerberus answered honestly.

Yi Lin looked at Gu Tianqing, who was silent at the side.

Gu Tianqing spread his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled, and in a helpless tone, he took the initiative and said: "My respected president, you clearly know that my divination is more aimed at predicting 'the direction of things', rather than for Locate and find people.”

Yi Lin believed it for now.

Around the city of Munich, a tall spiked wire fence has been pulled up, as high as five meters high.

This city, in just a few months after the mutation, became a private fortress.

Groups of soldiers wearing dark green military uniforms stood guard and patrolled at the main entrance to the city, with tight defense.

"Want to rush in?"

Griffin put the black bag on his shoulder and asked coldly.

"Need not,"

Yi Lin put a "crystal" into the hands of Miriam, Cerberus, and Griffin respectively.

The three of them looked confused.

"Gu Tianqing, come in with me. You can tell from your appearance that you are locals, and your target is too conspicuous."

Hearing this, Griffin and Cerberus tilted their heads and made a question mark.

They subconsciously felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yi Lin's words.

Isn't it because he and Gu Tianqing are more eye-catching because they have two standard oriental faces?

Yi Lin greeted Gu Tianqing, patted her, straightened her slightly wrinkled suit, and walked straight to the door.

Gu Tianqing was stunned for a moment. He seemed to understand Yi Lin's plan, smiled helplessly, and followed.

"etc,"

Cerberus had a rare expression of surprise on his face. She grabbed the collar of Yi Lin's suit and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Find someone to ask."

Yi Rin answered matter-of-factly.

"By the way, this trick is called throwing a stone to ask for directions."

Finally, Yilin made a vivid gesture of throwing something forward and explained to Miriam.
