This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1014 - 474: Restoring a Broken Mirror

"Guard the site well, and for the next few hours, don’t let anyone get near this place!"

Mu You instructed through the communicator.

"Understood, you can rest assured on that!" The headquarters responded quickly.

The Divine Beast could survive inside the deceased for an hour, and since the people had only just died, there was still a risk of propagating parasites, so it was imperative to stop anyone else from approaching this place. Even if someone did enter, they had to be killed immediately, otherwise all previous efforts would have been in vain.

On this matter, they were much more attentive than Mu You.

After speaking, Mu You put away the communicator and walked over to the giantess lying in a pool of blood.

By now, many crystals had irregularly formed around the body of the giantess.

Mu You quickly counted, and aside from a few crystals that had fallen into the water, the Nine Stars giantess had burst out over 6500 Divine Crystals, and there was also a God Soul Crystal that could help a player break through the level 30 bottleneck.

Mu You did not hesitate, he gathered the crystals and placed them into the oil lamp, turning them into lamp oil.

This was previously promised to the Lamp God. He had spent quite a bit of lamp oil in this battle, and the oil inside the Divine Lamp was nearly dry. Without adding more soon, the Lamp God wouldn’t last much longer.

Seeing the oil in the Divine Lamp replenishing instantly, the Lamp God nodded in satisfaction. Mu You wasn’t stingy, this replenishment of lamp oil was four or five times more than the previous consumption!

Although filling up the oil lamp was still nowhere in sight, he wouldn’t have to worry about it disappearing for a long time.

By then, Mu You had already begun refining the divine remains of the giantess.

Half an hour later, the enormous body of the giantess had transformed into a Divine Bone and a drop of pure Divine Blood.

Mu You quickly checked the effects of the Divine Bone.

[Unknown Divine Bone: Extracted from a giant that hasn’t fully achieved divinization, contains some power of Silence Authority. After merging, one can gain a slight power of silence.

Once activated, all Divine Arts effects within the vicinity immediately become ineffective, and every target except you will enter a state of silence, unable to cast Divine Arts.

Each activation consumes 20 points of Energy, and maintaining the activated state will continually consume Energy at a rate of 1 point per second.]

Perhaps because the giantess’s evolution was not completely finished, the effects of her Divine Bone weren’t as powerful as expected.

There was no change in the silence effect, still entirely prohibitive of Divine Arts; however, the giantess had been continuously using the Authority without any noticeable Energy consumption, and the range of the effect was astonishingly wide.

Now the activation required Energy, 20 points each time. This was no small amount as Energy directly correlated with the Intelligence Value. Even for someone like Mu You who primarily focused on Intelligence, his current Energy Value was just under two hundred points—using up a tenth with just one activation, not to mention the subsequent sustained energy supply.

That is to say, the initially imagined scenario of starting the battle and keeping the Silence Domain active throughout, bullying others with Divine Arts, just couldn’t happen. Energy was a precious commodity in the system of Divine Arts; using lots of Energy on this ability, causing one’s own Divine Arts to falter, would be rather counterproductive.

All in all, this ability essentially could only serve as an auxiliary, used against creatures overly dependent on Divine Arts for sustenance.

"When can I merge the second Divine Bone?" Mu You asked the Bard.

After merging with the Bone of the Demon God, he could faintly feel his flesh in a state of inexplicable agitation, completely unable to accept more Divine Bones.

"You can merge the first Divine Bone at any time during the Fool’s phase, but starting with the second one, there’s a Star Level requirement. The second one requires reaching Three-Star, the third needs Five-Star and so forth, with each needing to leap at least two Star Levels. However, from entering Ten-Star, the requirement drops to only one Star per increase."

Mu You was startled, "Are you saying it can be infinitely merged with Divine Bones?"

"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, the divinity needed for advancing beyond 13-Star is astronomically high. Even in the history of the Divine Race, there have only ever been two beings who reached 14-Star, and anything higher is completely unknown."

The Bard said, "Therefore, the theoretical ceiling for merging Divine Bones is actually ten, but realistically, for you Fools, merging six would be extremely impressive. Because being able to merge six Divine Bones means you would have attained divinity by then, and every advancement thereafter would take a prolonged period."

Six, huh...

Mu You pondered for a moment; that number was actually less than he had imagined, which made the quality of each Divine Bone even more critical. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Any other requirements, just the Star Level?" Mu You asked again.

"If it’s a regular Divine Bone, indeed, there’s only the Star Level requirement. As long as your level is sufficient, you can merge anytime," the Bard said, then looked at the Divine Bone in Mu You’s hand, "But if it’s a Divine Bone with Authority, you must first completely assimilate the previous Authority Divine Bone, otherwise, the two Divine Bones will repel each other."

"Assimilate...how exactly is that done?" Mu You was a bit lost.

"Simple. You should be able to feel the agitation of the Bone of the Demon God inside you now, right?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"That’s the Demonic God’s Authority rejecting you, signifying that the Divine Bone hasn’t fully accepted you yet. What you need to do is align with the characteristics of the Authority, act in a way that makes it familiar with and accepting of you until it fully acknowledges you."
