Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 332 Orange - The Ultimate
模板
It's actually similar to the racial stat settings in some games?
The Apostle template has no upper limit; it can grow indefinitely.

Those monster templates that are currently invincible have ridiculously high base stats, but it is difficult or impossible for them to continue to break through.

It's obvious who's truly stronger.

Just like when he was still an ordinary person, even several of Li Xia tied together wouldn't be a match for tigers, blue whales, or elephants.

But now, all the tigers in the world combined can't withstand a single shot from him.

That's the allure of breakthroughs.

For example, Smaug, who reigned supreme in the first tier, can now be killed with a single spear thrust.

"The fourth rank is just the beginning of an apostle's rise. How does one rise?"

Li Xia suddenly became curious about how the apostles compensated for the differences in the template.

These differences in racial stats are not so easy to eliminate.

For example, how do you fight someone like Star God, whose peak size is the size of the moon?
"Of course it is—"

Xiao Long was about to continue speaking when he suddenly stopped, looking somewhat embarrassed:

"Not yet unsealed"

"puff!"

The kitten burst out laughing.

Li Xia didn't think much of it; he was already used to it. He was not far from reaching level 4 and would get there soon, so there was no need to rush.

So I started looking at the remaining two pieces of equipment: the Deathblade and the Enemy Armor.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I've taken it out, the deep purple and light orange light shines directly in the room!

The little dragon and the kitten immediately held their breath, almost intoxicated by the orange light.

Although it's just the lightest shade of orange, there are also pale orange, orange, dark orange, and orange ultra.

But it's orange too!

This is the first piece of orange-tier equipment that Li Xia has obtained that he can properly equip!

[The Blade of Suicide]

[Grade: Purple - Ultimate]

【Origin: Tier 3 Native World - Planet Stan】

[Durability: 80/80]

Damage Intensity: 7 (Tier 3)

1. Blade of Intrusion: When using this sword, the hilt of the Blade of Death will extend a root that invades the user's blood vessels and absorbs blood.

Absorption: Absorbs 10% of maximum health per minute. The Death Blade cannot be used when health is below 50%.

2. Tear Blade: The blade is covered with tiny barbs, which can cause irreparable lacerations when cutting flesh.

Tear Damage: 20% of the damage dealt and will be converted into Bleeding damage until the wound heals.

3. Blood Absorption: The blade can absorb the enemy's blood and return a portion of it to the user through the invading roots.

Feedback amount: 40% of the blood drawn
4. Energy Amplification: Increases energy damage by 20%-40%.
5. Death Blade: Upon entering the unleashed state, absorbs 1.5% of the user's health per second. When dealing damage to an enemy, the user will absorb the full amount of damage dealt.

[Description: When this sword enters its unleashed state, it's either you or the enemy who dies. That's why it's called the Blade of Death.]

The man, the dragon, and the cat stared at the sword in silence.

"Sell it!"

"agree!"

"Meow!"

Perhaps because they were corrupted by the Old Gods and turned into this monstrous form, the weapons of the Griggan people all carry a touch of evil.

To be honest, this sword is quite effective; Li Xia has seen that after handling so many pieces of equipment.

Purple equipment typically has three to four attributes, plus one debuff, which can also be considered a usage restriction.

This is normal; weapons in the void are incredibly diverse, especially at higher levels where the energy level is higher.

Weapons can be limited, have life, or even have consciousness; these are all common occurrences.

But the constant absorption of blood and the roots invading blood vessels still made Li Xia feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The Lava Armor is also a parasitic type of equipment, and it also absorbs the maximum health.

However, the Lava Armor is because its true form is just a dragon scale, requiring blood and life energy to expand and cover the entire body, creating an illusory dragon scale without any blind spots.

Just like electrical appliances need electricity, in contrast, the Death's Blade is constantly draining blood.

"Then let's sell it!"

Li Xia sheathed the Death Blade, intending to send the attributes to the Brotherhood of Steel and Nightingale, but suddenly stopped.

He then found another person, Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table.

He sent the attributes of 'Death Blade' and, without waiting for a reply, immediately picked up the Enemy-Defying Armor.

Li Xia suspected that this armor also had parasitic properties!
[Glory-Defeating Armor]

[Grade: Light Orange]

【Origin: Tier 3 Native World - Planet Stan】

[Durability: 200/200]

[Defense Tier: 10 (Tier 3)]

1. Parasitic Armor: The armor is covered with mycelium, which invades the body through roots and creates a kind of symbiosis. The mycelium absorbs the maximum mental and physical limits to maintain its own activity.

Mental Limit: 3
Maximum Health: 25%
2. Hardened outer skin: The hyphae have acquired some characteristics by living in symbiosis with the stone armor for a long time, which can harden the outer skin into a stone-like skin.

Stone Skin Defense Tier: 7
3. Buffer layer: It can absorb 50% of penetrating force and reduce blunt force damage by 40% by blocking the crystal layer and plant layer.

4. Reflective Armor Plates: The tough outer layer will reflect the force of direct physical attacks, up to a maximum of 25%.
5. Armor of Agility: This armor, aside from its simple weight-bearing function, does not affect movement or agility.

[Synopsis: For the Gregan, this armor is a symbol of their glory and a weapon of war; but for the Stone Golems, it represents their blood and tears.]

"This armor is something special!"

Xiao Long took a deep breath; his defense level was 10!

Those with this level of defense are mostly wearing heavy armor, the kind that inflicts a ton of negative debuffs.

For example, flexibility. This kind of debuff is not something that you can overcome simply by being strong. Rather, it's because the protective concept of heavy armor is that every part of the body can be defended.

Due to its design, it inherently limits the range of highly flexible movements.

However, the Invincible Armor is different; it is made up of tiny crystalline shells connected together by mycelium.

It possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities while also maintaining flexibility.

In addition, it has high damage absorption and reduction, and even counterattack.

It's safe to say that the armor is indeed a pale orange color.

"This one definitely has to be kept! It doesn't conflict with the Lava Armor, and its key attributes are really good."

Awoo's little paws tapped the armor, which was a dark green color with plates as white as jade.

It is crystal clear and round, more like a work of art.

Li Xia nodded. He also wanted to stay, since it was rare to come across armor that didn't reduce agility and had exceptionally high defensive capabilities.

But there's another problem.

That means this armor also needs to be parasitized.

The Enemy-Defying Armor is mainly the hardest crystalline shell that peels off the body of a stone golem with the strength of a ten-pillar level after it dies.

These stone figures are creations of the Star God. The stronger they are, the closer they are to the Star God's incarnation. This stone shell is a weakened version of the Star God's incarnation's outer shell.

The Star God's outer shell is already incredibly strong. Before it is seriously injured, its defense level of 14 is enough to make its opponents despair.

It can also reflect most energy attacks.

If it were just that, there wouldn't be any debuffs. It's just that the Griggans have once again demonstrated their talent of not being able to use their equipment without adding parasites to it.

The addition of a mycelial layer did strengthen the character to some extent, but it also required absorbing the maximum mental and physical energy.

"If I wear it directly," Li Xia stroked the armor.

"That means a direct reduction of 21% of maximum health and 3 points of spirit. That's too high a price to pay."

"That's true, the Lava Armor takes up 6% of the maximum health."

Xiao Long, however, forgot about this, mainly because the Lava Armor usually slumbered quietly inside Li Xia's body.

It only manifests its illusory form when attacked.

"Wait, let me ask the blacksmith and see if he can help."

Li Xia brought up her contacts again, and a series of notifications popped up.

Yes, it was Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table who bombarded us with messages.

The last message read: "Boss!!! Please!! Reply!!!"

I casually replied, "I'm busy, I'll contact you when I'm free."

I found Madaou in my contacts; it's always better to ask a professional than to just guess.

Madaro: "?"

Li Xia: "Is there any way to combine the [Molten Mountain Armor] and [Enemy-Defeating Armor]?"

Madaro: "No, although they are both parasitic, one follows an energy pathway and the other a physical pathway. How can they be fused?"

Li Xia frowned. That's right. The Lava Armor is a rather illusory layer of dragon scale armor, which it usually hides when there's nothing to do.

The main source of defense for the Destroyer Armor is still the crystal shell fragments of the Stone Golem.

Madaro: "It's not that there's no way, but it's very difficult. For example, we need to find a core that can control this kind of armor plate. Then, through secondary alchemy and the Neptune forging law, we can fuse the core of the Molten Mountain Armor with another type of core."

"

Li Xia: What are you mumbling about?

Li Xia: "Star God Avatar Core—would this work?"

Madaro: "Orange material?? Come to my place sometime and bring the core with you, I'll take a look at it."

Li Xia: "Okay!"

Seeing that their leader had turned off the communication panel, Aowu and Heitan sidled up to him, asking expectantly:

"What did the old man say?"

"I've never seen the Star God Core before. I said I'd like to study it. Let's go after we open the chests. It's not too far from the guild area, so we can do it together."

As Li Xia spoke, she took out an orange treasure chest.

This treasure chest is arguably the most valuable item besides the rewards from the quest itself.

This was also the first time Li Xia had experienced such a huge drop after killing a monster while at the peak of his luck stat.

This trip to Stanstar may seem short, but it was actually fraught with danger and extremely perilous.

The number of times Misfortune fired its guns was enough to give a clue.

Since acquiring the curse, how many golden Destiny Bullets has Li Xia fired in total?

I fired a shot when I was fighting the Abyss Apostle Sword Demon at the second tier.

It was also during the second stage that he fired a shot in his first battle against a monarch-level creature, Dragonstrike.

Gone!

The golden bullet can only be generated when death is already smiling before you; the conditions are so harsh that Li Xia has hardly ever encountered them.

But on Stanstar, they fired two shots directly!
I even used the Lucky Feedback skill beforehand, otherwise I would have really died from Hel's stone spikes.

Speaking of misfortune, Li Xia simply pulled out his gun.

Sure enough, two more silhouettes appeared on the gun.

One of the shadowy figures looked remarkably like Scarpo, who was wielding a knife, while the other shadowy figure resembled a shooting star.

The gun's attributes have also been significantly improved.

【doom】

[Grade: Destiny]

Ammo Capacity: 0/2

[Current Rank: Rank 3 (Power of Destiny: 289/300)]

[Damage Intensity: Fate-level (Ignores Rank and Defense)]

[Attack: 150]

Equipment effect:

1. Bullet of Fate:

略.
2. A Blow from Fate:

[Misfortune] The bullets fired carry an irresistible impact of fate, and those hit will fall into a state of 'fate shock', unable to perform any actions.

The greater the weight of the fate of the person struck, the shorter the duration of the 'Fate Shock' state, ranging from 0.1s to 5s.
3. The fatal spear
[Misfortune]'s [Shot of Fate] will deal a devastating blow to the enemy's fate. When the enemy's health drops below 12%, [Shot of Fate] will shatter the enemy's destiny.

It causes an instant death effect that ignores all protective measures; those whose fate is shattered cannot be resurrected or regenerated by any means.

4. The Spear of Destiny
略.
5. Misfortune
[Misfortune] Generously allows the wearer to share the delicious fate after their own feast. After slaying an enemy whose fate is heavy enough, the wearer will be given a chance to receive a lucky reward.

After use, your luck value will increase to 25 points for 10 seconds.

[Comment: In that moment, I even felt a sense of fullness. I will remember that moment forever—misfortune.]

Ignore the sinister whispers of misfortune.

The important thing is the change in attributes; firstly, the Spear of Destiny is already at Tier 3!

The lucky reward has even reached 25 points! For a full 10 seconds!
The kill threshold has also increased again, reaching 12%, which is a very delicate value.

Because many survival abilities only start to activate when the health is at 10%.

It's true that the execution effect of Doom is powerful, and it's true that once the threshold for execution is reached, death is certain.

But the premise is that it can hit the target; some people's survival ability is simply to be randomly teleported.

Or something as overpowered as a Lesser Guardian Shield.

Killing someone right when they're on the verge of death can have a surprising effect.

"Hey boss, should we go buy some treasure chests and open them? We've got enough luck points anyway!"

Buy a treasure chest?
Li Xia was taken aback, but quickly shook his head. He had experience with opening treasure chests on behalf of others and buying and selling treasure chests.

First of all, the price of the chest is not cheap; it is basically the market price of the main equipment of the treasure chest quality.

It's not that there's no profit to be made, but few people would buy them because the treasure chests being sold are very likely to be counterfeit or substandard.

In other words, I didn't contribute much to the kill, I just got a kill and was lucky enough to get the chest.

Those powerful enemy crates with 'kill video certification' are extremely rare, and they're highly sought after, selling out in seconds.

Making a few coins by messing around with these things isn't even worth the effort.

Li Xia took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.

[Fate's Retribution]!
In an instant, a golden light flashed across Li Xia's body, and the whole world seemed to change.

Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately chose to open the treasure chest.

A blinding light suddenly rose from the treasure chest, so intense that the man, the dragon, and the cat couldn't help but turn their heads and shield their eyes.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the prompt.

[Executioner, you have obtained a Secondary Gravity Law Fragment (Orange - Ultimate) and 2 Spacetime Silver Coins]
