Chapter 1277 Old Strengthening System (Complete Shin Megami Tensei V)

When Duanmuhuai climbed up from the sea with a body of water plants, his entire face was black.

“Damn it, next time something like this happens, I’ll set the sea on fire!”

 Killing N'zoth was easy for Duanmuhuai, mainly because the place where this disgusting thing was sealed was so disgusting.

  It happens to be in the depths of the sea!

This makes Duanmu Huai very helpless. If it were an ordinary planet, he would just use a cyclone torpedo to ignite the planet, completely evaporate the sea, and then slowly circle around.

But Azeroth can't do this, there are still people living in this place.

So Duanmuhuai had to sink by itself.

With great effort, Duanmuhuai found the sealing location of N'Zos, then absorbed the remaining power of the ancient god, and turned away amidst the latter's unwilling wailing.

　　　“Huh…Although some time was wasted, I finally achieved my goal.”

Back in the battleship, Duanmu Huai looked at the experience progress bar in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. After absorbing the power of the three ancient gods, Duanmu Huai's [Old Dominator] was directly upgraded to the medium divine power of level 16, which is only one step away from the powerful divine power of level 20.

Of the four priests currently in Duanmuhuai, [God of Destruction] is basically overflowing with experience, followed closely by [Old Dominator], and only [God of Joy] and [Sixth Heaven Demon King] are more popular.

Since priest experience is absorbed based on essence, the divine power experience of the God of Destruction cannot be used by other priests, which also gives Duanmu Huai a headache.

 After absorbing these three ancient gods, Duanmuhuai also obtained three special ancient **** functions: [Thousand Eyes], [Thousand Throats] and [Thousand Beards] respectively.

With the gradual deepening of the power of [Old Dominator], Duanmu Huai also has a certain understanding of this priesthood. The most powerful thing about [Old Dominator] is not how strong its attack power is, but In its interference with dimensional space.

 Generally speaking, only high dimensions can affect low dimensions, and conversely, it is impossible for low-dimensional space to affect high dimensions. It's like a beautiful girl in the second dimension can't really marry a human in the third dimension no matter what. Even if she likes you, she can only express her love to you through the screen, and she can't come to you... Ahem, Heartbroken.

 And the Old Ones—or rather all the Outer Gods—seem to be born with the ability to interfere with all dimensions, high and low.

This is why in the Star Ocean game, when the main mission "Aether Phase Engine" ends, after breaking the subspace to spread energy throughout the galaxy, and forcibly "ascending" all human races into subspace creatures, the expansion BOSS set by the game will It’s the reason for the alien gods outside the galaxy.

 Because people are in the real space, they can interfere with other dimensions at will!

In fact, many players have great opinions on the subsequent version of Xinghai. The reason is very simple. When dealing with the Chaos Evil God in the first main mission, players as humans are in the material world, so they have to break the barrier of reality and go to the subspace. Only then can he confront the Chaos Evil God head-on.

The result is good. Now that I have finally ascended to the subspace, you have created another one that can act recklessly in the real space. As a result, we still have to find a way to break the barrier between the subspace and reality again, and go to the real world and the alien gods and their The heirs fight?

Aren’t you using your left hand instead of your right hand?

Of course, no matter what the players say, Xinghai’s game production company never says anything, and its attitude of “love to play but not play” also makes everyone very angry.

 But we still have to play.

 So angry!

 Let’s get back to the topic.

 Duanmu Huai tried out three skills. How should I put it... I felt like I had suffered a loss because of my lack of knowledge.

[Thousand Eyes] has two abilities. One is that it can observe a certain existence from different dimensions at the same time. Strictly speaking, this ability is very useful, such as illusions. No matter how clever it is, Duanmu Huai can pass through dimensional suppression. See its true identity directly at a glance.

Of course, this is only a small part. Its real ability lies in the ability to observe the essence through phenomena, such as the core of magic, or the existence of the real elements of a certain system.

For example, QB’s original magical girl system, if Duanmu Huai had [Thousand Eyes], then he could see the entire system without An’s help... Well, that’s impossible.

 The reason is very simple, they are still uneducated.

Let’s put it this way, although [Thousand Eyes] is very similar to Mary’s [Golden Eyes], they are still different.

 Mary's [Golden Eyes] gives the answer directly and then (omitted) the process.

 Duanmuhuai's "Thousand Eyes" gives the process, and then you have to figure out the answer yourself.

However, Duanmuhuai said that I am just a child and I don’t understand what you are doing!

It's like a primary school student reading calculus. You just write out the formulas and put them in front of him and let him follow the steps to find the final answer. The other person is also confused.

 Can’t understand, can’t understand at all. If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. Even if you point at my nose and teach me, you still don’t understand.

So this ability may be useful for big guys like An or Xue Li who are advanced in magic or scientific theory, but for a reckless man like Duanmu Huai, it is a waste of resources.

 Compared with this troublesome ability, another ability of [Thousand Eyes] is more favored by Duanmu Huai.

To put it bluntly, this ability is very simple, that is, Duanmu Huai can set countless coordinates, and then set his [eyes] at those places. If something happens, Duanmu Huai can switch seamlessly and see it immediately. What happened there.

 This is like a large monitoring platform. Duanmu Huai could pick his feet while watching girls from other worlds take a bath, and then wait for the alarm to cut off the screen to see which world is threatened and what kind of threat...

 From Duanmu Huai's point of view, this ability is what he needs most. Because it is sealed, C'Thun's Thousand Eyes can only cover a small area, but Duanmuhuai is different. As a **** across the galaxy, he can insert an eye in all places where the Tribunal has left its mark. Duanmu Huai can even throw some [eyes] into space and float around to see if they can blind cats, hit dead mice, and encounter anything interesting.

 It’s like opening a blind box, maybe it’s quite interesting.

  Next is [Thousand Roars], this ability is the same as [Thousand Eyes], it can communicate with other people regardless of distance, this ability is also very useful for Duanmu Huai. Although soul cards like An and Lorena can directly telepathize, dependents like Mary and Lumière have not yet been able to communicate regardless of space. Now that they have this ability, even if Duanmu Huai is not around, they can You can report to Duanmuhuai anytime and anywhere. Like Aikote, you don’t need to relay the report to Duanmuhuai through other cards every time.

However, compared to this, Duanmu Huai is very interested in the other ability of [Thousand Roars].

Just like [Thousand Eyes] can observe something from different dimensions, [Thousand Roar] can also transmit sounds from different dimensions to a target at the same time.

Duanmuhuai tried it and was surprised to find that the sounds he made were completely different in different dimensions.

 So what is the use of this ability?

Well, it’s very simple. In other words, if Duanmu Huai sings “ONLYYOU” to someone now, he can really drive the other person crazy.

 Because the other party will receive ONLYYOU from all voices in all dimensions in an instant... This is enough to cause any sane creature to have a mental breakdown.

Of course, this ability is more of a fun thing for Duanmu Huai. It can be played casually. Whether it can be used when actually fighting the evil **** is another matter.

Hmm, maybe it can be used to deal with the chatty one who is treacherous?

No matter how arrogant he is, he has no ability to argue with all dimensions at the same time.

Compared with the first two, [Qian Xu] has the smallest improvement to Duanmu Huai. The reason is very simple. Duanmu Huai is already the [Old Dominator], and tentacles have long been his standard equipment, so this ability is given to Duanmu Huai. What it brings is the enhancement of +1 to all ancient gods' abilities, but there is nothing special to say about the rest.

 In fact, there are many ways to develop the ancient god's abilities, but Duanmu Huai is not sensitive to methods that require using his own brain. Usually, he prefers to follow his instincts and punch them with his fists. It's not too late to use your brain when you encounter something that you can't smash. After there are more people around you, Duanmu Huai throws all the problems that need to use your brain to others.

As for me...it feels best to hit my head with a small hammer.

Just when Duanmuhuai returned to the battleship to sleep happily, a group of dwarves were doing their own excavation work in an archaeological ruins.

　　“Okay, boys, work harder, we’re about to go a step further!”

Bryan Bronzebeard waved the mining pickaxe in his hand with excitement and fanaticism on his face.

Unlike others, after returning from the Tribunal and reporting everything he knew to his brother, Brian started his passionate archaeological work again. For Brian Bronzebeard, although the cosmic sea of ​​​​stars is very shocking, he still likes the most fulfilling work such as archaeological excavation.

I don’t know if this trip to space brought Brian good luck. He excavated a mysterious ruins deep in the mountains in a deserted land.

According to Brian's inference, this ruins is older than all the ruins he has excavated before. Although this conclusion was somewhat unbelievable, Brian also became very interested in this ruins.

This ruin is located in a cave. Its door is made of metal of unknown material. These metals were once very hard, but after a long time, they have long been dilapidated and buried by collapsed stones. Fortunately, as a dwarf, Brian is very good at digging holes. Currently, he is leading his assistants to clean up the ruins, trying to see what good things are inside.

 “Hey, Brian, over here!”

Just as Brian was digging desperately, another dwarf next to him suddenly shouted, and Brian hurriedly ran over. At this moment, other dwarves were clearing out a piece of wall from the ruins nearby, with patterns and words on it.

 “This is a troll’s text, let me see it.”

Seeing this scene, Brian Bronzebeard's eyes suddenly lit up, he stepped forward, and then began to translate word for word.

“...We had to flee from the shadow of Azshara. As the Bonesplitter clan, our fate has ended here. We originally thought that our fate would not be more tragic, but in fact we were wrong..."

 “The Bone Split Clan?”

 After reading this, Brian was stunned for a moment.

 “Haven’t you heard of this troll clan?”

“We talked about Azshara, that is, what happened during the High Elf Kingdom…”

 “That was more than 10,000 years ago...”

Everyone was also talking about it, but their men did not stop and continued to clean up the ruins. Soon, the later parts also emerged.

"...We don't know where those guys came from. They came from the sky and they occupied our holy places. This kind of desecration will never be tolerated. We launched an attack on them, but our operation failed. They The power is unimaginably powerful. Most of the clan members were killed, while the remaining people stayed here and did things according to their orders..."

"...These guys talked in a language we couldn't understand, but I learned some of their language. These people escaped here. They seemed to be chased by some kind of terrifying existence, so they came here hiding their whereabouts. Here, they're talking about hiding something to retrieve later. This is our chance! They're going to use us to seal the Holy Land, and we're not going to let it go. We've decided that we're going to perform the ritual on these guys. Take action when the time comes and seal them completely in the Holy Land. We must avenge our dead compatriots! As for that thing..."

The handwriting here was a little blurry. Brian Bronzebeard touched and rubbed it again. It took a while before the words engraved on the wall behind were revealed.

Looking at the words in front of him, Brian touched his beard in confusion.

 “What is this? A transcriber?”
