Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 105 - 94: Heaven-Defying ’Cause and Effect’ Attribute! Rewriting the Rules, Reverse Cause and Effect!
One hundred years ago, when Naiya ranked tenth on the overall leaderboard, she received five Attribute Activation Stones as a reward.
It was precisely by relying on those five Attribute Activation Stones that she awakened her heaven-defying ’Prophecy’ attribute.
In the rumors among the Moore Star People, when Naiya burst onto the scene, she already possessed the ’Ice, Fire, Prophecy’ three attributes.
But at first, she actually only had the ’Ice, Fire’ attributes.
It was just because the opposing nature of ’Ice and Fire’ attributes made her battle power far exceed other dual-attribute Tier Eight Evolvers.
At the same time.
It was also because she awakened the ’Prophecy’ attribute that Naiya poured everything into peering into the future, then waited desperately for a hundred years, until today, becoming the little maid by Yu Jin’s side.
"Hah——"
Naiya took a deep breath, her flat chest gently rising and falling.
"I have to learn to get used to this, can’t freak out every time."
"Whatever happens around this man... makes perfect sense..."
Naiya told herself.
A moment ago.
When Yu Jin was buying the bed, the ’260 million’ Points balance had already given her a billion dot shock.
After messing up a few times, Naiya felt a bit embarrassed—after all, she’d been sitting atop the Ice and Fire Throne as a Tier Eight Boss for a hundred years.
Crack——!
Cra-craa——!
Before Naiya’s thoughts could settle, she heard a series of crisp shattering sounds.
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Naiya looked up at Yu Jin on the ten-meter-wide bed.
In just a second.
Her crystal-clear eyes involuntarily contracted sharply!
Right in front of her...
Yu Jin, in one go, used up all 30 Attribute Activation Stones!
That’s—
A whopping 30 freaking stones!
Naiya had heard—
Even the first place on the ’Wasteland’ overall leaderboard only got rewarded with 15!
"..."
Naiya was silent, unable to speak.
To be honest, if this man before her wasn’t so terrifyingly powerful, Naiya really couldn’t resist wanting to use ’Prophecy’ to peek at just where he got so many Attribute Activation Stones and so many Points...
On the ten-meter super-luxury bed.
Yu Jin had no idea that this Moore Star loli had such a rich inner life in such a short time.
He stared at the semi-transparent panel in front of him, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
[You used ’Attribute Activation Stone’!]
[New attribute awakening...]
[Awakening failed!]
[...]
Line after line—all fails!
"Damn it!"
"Thirty stones, not even one success—isn’t this a bit much?"
"Last time, the ’Space’ attribute only took ten stones."
Yu Jin was close to cursing out loud.
Sure, the more attributes, the lower the chance of awakening, and he already had seven, but—!
He’s a cheater, that logic shouldn’t apply to him!
Crack——!
Yu Jin crushed another stone.
This was the second-to-last—number 29.
[You used ’Attribute Activation Stone’!]
[New attribute awakening...]
[Awakening successful!]
"Hm?"
Yu Jin was just about to crush the last stone, but seeing the panel info, he instantly perked up.
"What attribute?"
"29 stones used—if it’s not something crazy strong, I’m gonna be mad!"
[You’ve awakened the eighth attribute: Cause and Effect!]
[You’ve learned First-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Causal Perception Lv1]
[Passive Effect: Immune to self-causality, cannot be perceived by enemies not at least one major tier above yourself]
[Active Effect: Analyze and perceive the Causal Chain attached to the target]
[You’ve learned Second-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Probability Lock Lv1]
[Active Effect: Lock the probability of an attack or specific event, making it certain to happen]
[Hint——]
[Can only lock events within your current tier’s influence; cannot lock events beyond your tier]
[For example: Locking the ’A3 Planet Collapse’ probability is impossible at your current tier; lock fails]
[You’ve learned Third-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Causal Correction Lv1]
[Active Effect: Modify or reverse the outcome of local events (those within your tier’s influence)]
[You’ve learned Fourth-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Rebound Link Lv1]
[Active Effect: Apply a ’Causal Chain’ to two or more targets so they share negative status effects]
[You’ve learned Fifth-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Benefit Link Lv1]
[Active Effect: Apply a ’Causal Chain’ to two or more targets so they share positive buffs (the bigger the tier gap, the lower the benefit percentage)]
[You’ve learned Sixth-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Causality Judgment Lv1]
[Active Effect: Apply causal penalty to target; if successful, annihilates enemies below your own tier]
[You’ve learned Seventh-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Causality Reincarnation Lv1]
[Active Effect: Create causality loops, making area enemies repeatedly suffer or enjoy negative/positive states.]
[You’ve learned Eighth-tier Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Causal Dominator Lv1]
[Active Effect: Rewrite causality rules within area; this ability may cause causal disruption]
[You’ve learned Ninth-tier Cause and Effect Ability: Reverse Cause and Effect]
[Active Effect: Anchor event outcome, greatly increase its occurrence probability; this ability is not limited by your own tier]
[Hint: The larger the event scope and the smaller the original chance, the lower the probability increment, and vice versa]
[Friendly reminder——]
[Please use ’Cause and Effect’ attribute abilities with caution; misuse may cause area rule collapse and fall into annihilation]
...
...
Yu Jin was silent.
After a long time, he couldn’t say a word.
This new attribute...
is a bit too heaven-defying.
So heaven-defying that, Yu Jin, who always considered himself a cheater, had no idea what to say.
Causal Correction? Causality Reincarnation? Causality Judgment? Reverse Cause and Effect?
Compared to stuff like Light, Thunder, or even Space, which are straightforward and pack a punch, the Cause and Effect attribute is a whole different vibe.
"Rule and concept ability!"
Yu Jin’s mind echoed these words.
At the same time.
This was also the first time since Yu Jin awakened eight attributes that he saw a ’Friendly Reminder’ warning him to use this ability with caution.
"These 29 stones..."
"It’s not even about value anymore."
After carefully digesting all nine abilities, Yu Jin sighed quietly.
Every time, he thought he was already invincible.
But every time, Brother Tongzi would tell him, you can be even more invincible.
"Speaking of which..."
"Attributes are all sorts of weird, but even though cause-and-effect rule-based attributes are extremely rare, there should still be a few out there." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Better take enemies 1% more seriously next time, so I don’t get tripped up in a gutter somewhere."
Yu Jin muttered to himself.
On the other side.
Naiya, at some unknown point, had already taken off her shoes and white socks, quietly sitting on the big bed.
She blinked her crystal-clear eyes, a bit curious...
She took in all of Yu Jin’s reactions.
Clearly.
This man awakened a new attribute, and it must be a strong new attribute at that.
"What could it be?"
Naiya lowered her head and fell into thought.
But...
In the next second.
"Ah!"
Naiya suddenly yelped.
She got bitten by a mosquito!
"!"
Naiya’s whole body froze all of a sudden.
She’s a Tier Eight Limit Evolver, an Ice, Fire, and Prophecy Triple Attribute Evolver!
How could she... get bitten by a mosquito?
Even if she was totally off guard, what kind of mosquito could bite her?
Besides!
Where did such a little mosquito come from in the wasteland?
In this core area, apart from herself and Yu Jin, there shouldn’t be any other living beings!
Fwoosh——
Naiya jerked her head up, looking at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin, meanwhile, was silently gazing at the ’Cause and Effect’ line only he could see in front of him.
[Locked result: Naiya gets bitten by a mosquito]
[Triggered ability: Reverse Cause and Effect]
[...]
[Blue Star Calendar, September 5th, 2025, at night, Yu Jin cut his finger to lure a mosquito for hunting; a drop of blood dripped onto the ground]
[The next night, Jiangcheng Langlang Mountain, a mosquito found the blood stain by chance]
[Its kin suffered a massacre the previous night; it was one of the million lucky survivors. It mustered up courage and drank up the almost dried blood drops on the ground]
[After feeding, the mosquito fell asleep, undergoing strange metamorphosis]
[September 9th, 2025, at night, the mosquito transmigrated to A3 Wasteland, refresh spawn: Dawn City Lord’s Mansion Core Area]
[The mosquito mutated, becoming a Tier One Mutant Beast, and gained abilities: Absolute Concealment Lv1, Absolute Defense Break Lv1]
[Absolute Concealment: Cannot be discovered or detected (unless the observer is nine tiers above)]
[Absolute Defense Break: Bite attack always bypasses defenses (unless the target is nine tiers above)]
[...]
[Yu Jin awakened ’Cause and Effect’ attribute]
[Yu Jin anchored result: Naiya gets bitten by a mosquito]
[The mosquito, lurking for ages, locked onto Naiya as its target...]
"Heaven-defying..."
Yu Jin looked up at the sky, feeling that his past self, standing before his present self, was just like a rookie noob...
