The Era of Gods-Chapter 464 - : Transcendent Magician
Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Transcendent Magician
For although Medusa was cursed by the deity to become an evil creature, her strength also came from the curse. To put it plainly, this talent is actually a manifestation of the deity’s curse, after all, in Greek legend, Medusa was initially just an ordinary human girl.
Therefore, separation was definitely not an option, which left only restriction or transformation.
An extremely high mastery of Creation Law gave Lin Xiao an inspiration, or rather a bold idea. After thinking for a moment and confirming it was feasible, a rich surge of Creation Energy emerged, swirling around Medusa’s Eye, enveloping it. As his thoughts moved, Medusa’s Eye shattered into a pool of blood plasma, with the Creation Energy slowly merging into it, causing the plasma to churn.
Meanwhile, he selected a large amount of cards from the cardpool to throw into the Creation Rubik’s Cube for disassembly. Among these were two of the remaining five crystal cards.
Following that idea, he disassembled the cards, stripping away the unnecessary parts and refining the needed portions, either storing them separately or merging them with other extracted cards.
Half an hour later, on the edge of the great vortex in the center of the Creation Rubik’s Cube, eleven slightly smaller spheres of essence had appeared, the refined essence of fifty or sixty disassembled cards fused into eleven parts.
As soon as the blood plasma, which Medusa’s Eye had turned into, was refined into a high-purity blood crystal, the first sphere of essence wrapped in a layer of Creation Energy was cast into it, followed successively by the other essences. The central blood plasma expanded rapidly, a mysterious aura emanating from within.
“Talent, it’s all about talent!”
Not only the talent of a Transcendent Magician but also applicable to Bloodline Magicians and Law Magicians, because, in his plan, this talent was intended to be universal across the entire power system, usable by all three.
Hence, this talent had to be very powerful and also versatile in various situations.
Based on the Petrification Talent, fused with many others, he endowed this… Superhuman Eye with numerous different effects.
Having merged so many talents, Lin Xiao named this enhanced talent the Extraordinary Demon Eye.
Actually, he preferred to name it the Eye of the Law, as that sounded more imposing, but the power of this talent wasn’t quite up to par with the grandeur of such a name.
An entire hundred units of Creation Energy infused, fusing various talent-class spells and skills into one entity, forming a crystal radiating mystical fluctuations, which under his will, took the shape of a rhombic crystal, sparkling and beautiful like Divinity itself.
Extraordinary Demon Eye: Unknown Talent.
Passive attributes: Possesses True Sight, Dark Vision, and super-long-range abilities, capable of seeing through all stealth, invisibility, and illusions.
Active attributes: Consumes spiritual power for active use, capable of casting multiple extraordinary abilities on a single target, including petrification, flame, lightning, ice, destruction, instant death.
Note: The power and effect of the Extraordinary Demon Eye are related to the individual’s strength— the greater the strength, the more powerful the effect.
Passively possesses True Sight, Dark Vision, and super-long-range effects.
Actively, on top of the original petrification, it can also fire powerful flame rays, ice rays, destruction rays, and instant-death rays.
The first few effects are easy to understand. The Eye of Destruction means to directly destroy the target, for example, if the target is wearing a legendary-level magical armor that normal petrification, flame, and other rays cannot penetrate, the destruction ray from the Eye of Destruction could break through it.
But this is just one aspect of destruction; the true destruction also includes dispelling magic and destroying the target’s talents.
For instance, if the target possesses a reflective talent, the Eye of Destruction could remove the reflective talent from the target, rendering it ineffective within the destruction effect.
Instant death is even easier to understand. Think of the famous spell Death Pointing, or the Eyes of the Reaper, disregarding the target’s status and vitality. As long as it takes effect, it immediately deprives the target of life, causing immediate death.
It can be said that just one talent contains many spell effects, which is very worthwhile.
Next, Lin Xiao selected many spells from the cardpool, each consuming ten to twenty points of Creation Energy to enhance. In total, he strengthened four extraordinary abilities, consuming a total of seventy-eight units of Creation Energy. Including the Extraordinary Demon Eye, he used a total of one hundred seventy-eight units of Creation Energy, leaving only one hundred eighteen units remaining, nearly dropping below one hundred.
The four extraordinary abilities are:
Light of Life: Immediately dispels all negative curses, diseases, plagues, etc., from the target that are below legendary status, cures serious wounds, includes regeneration of minor limb injuries such as severed fingers, and continues with lesser healing spell effects for the following hour.
An enhanced version of the Priest’s Divine Arts, including healing spells, purification spells, limb regeneration, etc., very outstanding.
Favor of the Goddess of Life: Instantly dispels all negative effects on the target, heals any non-instant-death injuries, regenerates any limb injuries, and continues with the effects of High-End Healing Arts for the following hour, while being immune to any negative effects below the legendary rank.
Note: Limited to use by Transcendent Magicians of Rank 6 and above, and the number of uses relates to the individual’s strength.
A super-enhanced version of Light of Life, arguably capable of bringing someone back from the brink of death as long as they’re not dead on the spot, and restoring them to full health. It’s a powerful tool for priests when evangelizing to win over native powerhouses.
Extraordinary Transformation Spell: Transform into any creature of the same rank as oneself while also possessing all the talents and class spell abilities of the target. The transformation relies on a drop of the target’s blood and lasts for two hours.
This is essentially a universal transformation spell that allows for transformation into any target with just a drop of their blood, whether it be a Supreme Naga, a Star Spirit, a Dragon, or even a shrunken version of a Hundred-Armed Giant should you manage to obtain a drop of their legendary blood.
Since the transformation requires a drop of the target’s essence blood, it grants access to all the target’s talents and class spell abilities after the transformation, making it very powerful.
The last extraordinary ability is a pure BUFF ability with a very simple name—Superhuman Power.
Superhuman Power: Increases the target’s all stats by 10 points and resistance to negative states by 50%, grants immunity to blindness, hypnosis, fear, charm, and other effects, and temporarily endows the target with high-end life regeneration capabilities.
The newly added extraordinary abilities are mostly supportive, replacing many key Priest Divine Arts, effectively being enhanced versions of those Divine Arts, serving as his exclusive Priest’s Divine Arts.
For now, the enhancement of Superhuman Power will stop here. These, in conjunction with Priest’s Divine Arts, can be used all the way until the legendary stage. After reaching the legendary stage, they can be re-adjusted when there’s enough Creation Energy and powerful Spell Talents.
The current Extraordinary Magician is only at Rank 1.
The power system created by Lin Xiao is different from other professions. Transcendent rank 6 and above starts at Rank 1, including ranks below Legend.
From Legend to below True God is Rank 2, and True God and above is Rank 3.
Now he has only developed Rank 1. There should not be a problem with developing Rank 2; as long as there is enough Creation Energy to perfect the talents and skills, that will be sufficient. However, Rank 3 and above are problematic, as the currently mastered power system is insufficient to proceed to higher levels.
But there’s no hurry for this now. Let things take their course. There’s still a long way to go before his Divine Enthronement.
Not to mention other things, the first step is to conquer the power system of the plane where his incarnation resides.
After completing the professional enhancement, it’s now time to give his incarnation a surprise.
Lin Xiao’s consciousness returns to the Divine Realm, he issues a Divine-mandate, and soon two crystal vials filled with Asura Naga and Star Spirit blood appear in his hands.
Unlike the Extraordinary Transformation Spell and Totem Core, which require essence blood, ordinary blood will suffice for this purpose. Common Supreme Naga of rank 7 or 8 can easily produce a bucket of blood without any issues—this is not a problem at all.
Having prepared these items, he then spent a million Divine Power to condense 10,000 seeds of a Bloodline Magician and a million Divine Power plus ten units of Creation Energy to condense 100 seeds of an Extraordinary Magician, and sent them to his incarnation through the Creation Magic Cube.
At this moment, his incarnation is at the southern end of the Lizard Archipelago, where the Flying Snake No. had previously discovered a small tribe and a gold mine. He came to assess the scale of the gold mine and to determine whether it had any associated minerals.
In planes with Extraordinary powers, there’s a small chance of finding ultra-rare minerals such as Essence Gold associated with gold mines, which is an essential raw material for manufacturing high-strength armor and weapons, and is also needed for the legendary level super-strong golem he plans to create.
When he received the box from his True Body, he was bewildered at first, but after reading the note enclosed inside, he was overjoyed. He immediately ceased his investigation of the gold mine and returned to the main base, located over a thousand kilometers from Snake Lizard Main Island—on island no. 14 of the Lizard Archipelago.
Yes, they have now relocated their main base. However, the original base wasn’t abandoned and continued to operate with his girlfriend in charge.
The main reason, of course, was to avoid detection because, at this point, it’s been three and a half years since their arrival, which is also half a year after unifying Snake Lizard Main Island.
The main reason that made him decide to change bases was an incident four months ago when a sophomore student suddenly appeared with a huge fleet, including twelve large wooden warships and over thirty large transport ships, passing by Snake Lizard Island. After viewing the prosperity of the Dragon Tribe, he took away over ten thousand elite tribal warriors and a substantial amount of food.
They had initially considered taking most of the tribal totems as well but were strongly refused by Lin Xiao under the excuse that there were still strong enemies nearby.
With the strength of the Dragon Tribe, defeating this fleet wouldn’t be a problem. Although the sophomore was strong, he couldn’t overcome Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin working together. However, after the fallout, they would no longer be able to stay within this plane, and at this moment, they didn’t have the ability to confront three sophomore students simultaneously.
Senior Chumo might not take action against them, but she couldn’t help them either.
After considering, they had no choice but to compromise for the moment, offering ten thousand ordinary warriors to deal with the situation.
Once they left, he and his girlfriend discussed overnight and decided to move the core of the base. They began to amass strength, preparing for an eventual fallout with Cao Yichen and the others.
Before, he was wondering when he would have enough resources to stand against the seniors. Now, the information from his True Body lets him know that day isn’t far off.
Lizard Island No. 14 is a medium-sized island with a length and width of only about ten kilometers, covered by lush jungles. There was a small tribe before, but now the tribe has been conquered and moved to the main island. Currently, the island only has one base hidden within the dense jungle.
To avoid detection, Star Spirit Mages spent months excavating a massive underground space, with the base’s core underground, and only a small part on the surface concealed by dense trees. Even if one passed overhead, they might not notice unless they paid close attention.
