Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 854 - 161: Deal Struck (2)

So he evaded by saying, "If you absolutely must use it on a Legendary Weapon, even if you spare no expense to invest Dwarf Oath Gold, it's not without effect. The key is can you afford this cost?"

And this time, it's about getting the Human Empire to bear the cost of this enhancement.

The weapons being enhanced are the magic spear in Audrey's hand and the Star Scripture in Lin Rui's hand.

It can be said that Lin Rui has rarely used resources to enhance weapons all along, mainly because weapons, unlike equipment, lack strategic traits; their main role is to enhance individual might.

Of course, it's not that enhancing individual might is without value; chiefly, Lin Rui was poor back then.

He wished for every penny to be spent twice, and had to prioritize using it on cutting issues to enhance the overall strategic strength.

And now with abundant resources, especially when others are contributing resources, Lin Rui naturally wants to enhance top-tier weapons.

Previously, weapons were replaced too quickly, and enhancing them was meaningless.

But now the magic spear in Audrey's hand is already top-tier, and before acquiring Divine Artifact Level weapons, it's likely impossible to obtain anything stronger.

So enhancing it is simply logical.

After all, her magic spear is indeed strong!

[Abyssal Touch: Each attack carries additional Abyssal Damage, which ignores the opponent's armor and resistance effects, directly causing damage to the target. This damage receives a bonus from the holder's Soul Attribute, being their Soul Value * 15]

[Legendary Weapon Effect (Golden Color) Dark Frenzy: When an enemy is killed, the Soul-Devouring Demon Spear absorbs the enemy's Life Force in the darkness and gains a buff effect during the duration. Each enemy killed permanently increases Spiritual Strength by 1-2 points and unlocks subsequent effects of Dark Frenzy.]

[Dark Frenzy Chapter One: Bloodthirst (Unlocked): When the Soul-Devouring Demon Spear kills an enemy, it releases a blaze of Demon Fire, causing additional 0.35 * Spiritual Strength Shadow Damage to enemies within 10 meters and reducing their resistance to Shadow Damage, reduced by the holder's Soul Value * 1.5.]

[Dark Frenzy Chapter Two: Dark Domination (Unlocked): After killing an enemy target, the target will be dominated by the holder as [Royal Court Enslavement] for 160 seconds.]

[Dark Frenzy Chapter Three: Endless Spread (Unlocked): [Royal Court Enslavement] will be blessed by all of the holder's Commanding Traits, and after killing a target, the target will also be dominated by the holder as [Royal Court Enslavement]. With each target killed, the duration of [Royal Court Enslavement] doubles.]

[Dark Frenzy Finale: Fallen Rebirth (Unlocked): Holder's Resurrection Skill level + LV10, and after killing 1,000,000 enemy units, the holder can consume 10,000 points of Spiritual Energy Value to summon the mighty Fallen Angel Dark Lord: Erylin Natasha, to fight for 10 minutes. For each subsequent minute, 10 points of equipment durability value are consumed; if equipment durability value falls below holder's Soul Value, the Dark Lord Erylin Natasha will be fully unsealed, forming a world-ending Catastrophe!] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This is strong in both tactical and strategic significance.

Upon killing enemy targets, Audrey's Spiritual Strength will be permanently increased. She no longer resembles her former Pure Summoner self. A single Dark Magic blast, skyrocketing Spiritual Strength, and various Soul additional damage, Divine Damage, True Damage, can easily obliterate a large number of enemy troops.

The key is her [Royal Court Enslavement] trait; this is a rare strategic trait in weapons, greatly enhancing soldiers' combat capabilities.

Moreover, Royal Court Enslavers can be blessed by all of Audrey's Commanding Traits, causing Audrey's army to grow larger the more they fight.

Especially paired with her new Commander Trait.

[Strategic Trait: Cold Night Law: The law of the Cold Night is as ironclad, unshakable, and unbreakable. Under the Empire's protection, we are all its people, and any who challenge its authority or defy its will will face its judgment. Those daring to rebel will tremble in the cold night, as this is the law's will; this is the Empire's will. Undead Soldier Attack Power +18%, Command Undead Soldier consumption -20%, when fighting Evil Lawful units, there's a slight chance that after killing an opponent, they are immediately converted into allied controlled Undead Creatures.]

If it's within battles against Evil Lawful Faction, targets killed by these Royal Court Enslavers can not only become Royal Court Enslavement but may also directly convert into Audrey's permanently controlled Undead Creatures.

In low-tier battles, it's negligible. Even if hundreds of low-tier skeletons are converted, Audrey still has to constantly perform Advanced Sacrifice to balance her troops.

However, in high-tier battles, it's entirely different. If Royal Court Enslavement kills a Lord-level Dark Soldier, even Catastrophe-level, Epic-level, it can prevent opponent disintegration and directly convert into allied controlled Undead Creatures.

This would immediately mitigate the shortage of high-end combat power under Audrey's command.

Therefore, Lin Rui intends to spare no expense using Dwarf Oath Gold to enhance this Legendary Weapon to uplift its significance in individual, tactical, and strategic facets.

And Dwarf Oath Gold possesses such ability; originally it enhanced Avenging Goddess Spiritual Power Armor, elevating all its traits comprehensively.

So during the battle with Queen Hui Linlan, it could amass increasing counter-attacking ability, eventually directly annihilating Queen Hui Linlan.

Nancy pondered after hearing Lin Rui, that if not for the demand for two million Dwarf Oath Gold, it could indeed be negotiable.

After all, this item definitely has to be given to Lin Rui.

Thus the involved number, for the Empire, is merely a figure.

Dwarf Oath Gold is only of Rare Level existence, and in the Empire's long history, as long as it's a number, it can be gathered eventually without causing fundamental change.

Taking out hundreds of thousands for peace of mind, Nancy could still accept it.

So after thinking for a moment, he said, "If our Empire agrees to all this, would you support our Empire's claims in the military conference?"

Lin Rui immediately nodded, saying, "Of course, we're old friends, aren't we? I'm definitely supporting your claims, letting the Elemental Keystone return to its rightful owner."

Nancy stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll step out briefly to consult with our Empire's rear. But I think the issue isn't big; I'll convince our Emperor to agree to this transaction."

Once he was gone, Rose sneered and said, "Truly filthy politics; so-called old friends are only worth a transaction's price."

Lin Rui chuckled and said, "You're overthinking. So-called old friends aren't even worth toilet paper. Today we can sit here fondly reminiscing, tomorrow we may fight each other to bloodshed for differing standpoints. Between powers, sentiment is false; only interests are eternal."

Rose snorted coldly, "Interests? It's desires, right? Aren't you sparing no expense to enhance this magic spear really for the Fallen Angel inside?"

Nonsense!

Were it not for her, why would I not first enhance Star Scripture?

She's a Legendary-level charm element existence, and if she can be pushed from Tier Seven to Tier Eight, the allure and experience would elevate a whole level.

Second only to Rose as the most alluring female in the territory.

Rose could be touch-tested but not tasted by Lin Rui, just a fleeting indulgence.

So naturally, Lin Rui wishes to fully enhance Natasha's experience.

Her first words upon meeting Lin Rui were asking if he wanted to experience the angel's unique sensation.

Now it's close to harvest time!

But even if Lin Rui thinks like this, he couldn't directly admit it in front of Rose. Fortunately, Nancy soon returned hurriedly to the conference room carrying a storage box.
