Chapter 518 Perfect Aberration

The wind and air flow around seemed to have come to a standstill, and the fallen leaves also stopped in mid-air.

Iris looked around in surprise, trying to figure out what had happened.

A slight muffled sound came from near the middle of Li Xia and Collins, and tiny red lightning bolts flashed and black fluid-like light flashed in the middle.

A surging wave of air spread out from it, turning into a fierce wind that whipped their hair and clothes.

Li Xia's eyes flickered slightly. Collins had just used a skill similar to an aura, while he himself had used Conqueror's Haki.

Although aura does not necessarily represent strength, Li Xia could vaguely sense Collins's immense strength from just that one clash.

Who exactly is this peerless powerhouse who has become corrupted by absorbing so much pollution?
A thin slit quietly opened on his forehead, and a stream of light shimmered within it.

3. [Divine Decree/Contamination Spell]

Divine Prophecy
Collins is the most powerful genius in the history of the Church of Divine Prophecy. He is well-versed in all the divine arts of the Church of Divine Prophecy and is also extremely talented in physical arts. The goddess's favor gives him a great boost when he releases the Divine Separation spell.

释放术法时，获得40%-150%的效果增幅、20%-50%的消耗缩、施法速度增加10%-50%。

Contamination Divine Art
The perfect distortion caused by corruption and contamination allows Collins to transform divine oracle spells into contamination spells, creating effects based on the properties of contamination.

Perfect distortion bonus:

Collins can switch between divine pronouncements and contamination.

Each transformation will result in 20% damage and a 1-second stun.
4. [Spear of Annihilation] (Ultimate Ability)

Collins summoned the Holy Spear of the Church of Divine Word and imbued it with the power of corruption.

Inflicts (Intelligence + Spirit) * 1000 Holy/Contamination Penetration Damage
Upon impact, due to the conflict between the Holy/Contaminated attributes, it will cause an explosion damage equal to 1.5 times the piercing damage. The piercing/explosive damage has a 30% chance of instant death and is also subject to a dual assessment based on Collins' Intelligence/Spirit attributes.

If the judgment is passed, the probability of instant death is increased by an additional 50%.

5. [Dark Ark] (Ultimate Ability)

Non-polluted creatures will suffer continuous damage of 200 points per second, and their health regeneration, speed, and strength will be weakened.
Absorption: Collins can use the Ark to absorb the incoming energy attack and store it as a source of corruption.

Maximum number of points that can be converted: 10 points
[Evaluation: The Archbishop of the Holy Prophecy Church, an unparalleled powerhouse who single-handedly withstood the corruption and defilement of all Europe for sixty-five years. Even so, the corruption and defilement could not subdue him. Throughout the long years, Collins never stopped analyzing the corruption and defilement.]

Furthermore, the modifications he made to his body in order to absorb more pollution and corruption actually enabled him to withstand this unusual power.

This makes it an extremely rare 'perfect variant'.

hiss.
The three members who saw Collins' panel simultaneously in the team chat channel gasped in shock.

A chosen one! A perfect aberration!
Collins was undoubtedly the most powerful humanoid creature they had ever seen in the third tier. To put it bluntly, even the Star God incarnation would be a notch weaker than Collins.

Because in a sense, he is also an embodiment of corruption and pollution!
They stared nervously at the two men facing off. The boss might not necessarily lose. No, the boss definitely wouldn't lose!
Even if you win, you might still suffer serious injuries or even a Pyrrhic victory. If you get seriously injured so early in the advancement battle, it will definitely cast a shadow over your journey ahead.

"There's no other way. It seems they don't want to let us go either, otherwise they wouldn't have come all the way from so far away."

It whimpered softly to the black charcoal, rubbing its paws together as it began to warm up.

In battles of this caliber, they certainly cannot directly engage in head-on combat. Being able to rush in at crucial moments to block a blow or provide support from the sidelines is sufficient.

"Meow!"

Kurotan nodded, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes began to rotate, intently watching every subtle movement.

Its little paws reached for its waist; it—also has a powerful move!
"What were you looking at just now?"

Collins' voice was deep, hoarse, and halting, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

Li Xia's pupils suddenly contracted; he sensed his own probing.

Detection is not a skill in the game; it is essentially a detection method, only it has been solidified by the Temple of Light.

Prior to this, Li Xia had never encountered a situation where an enemy could detect his reconnaissance.

"It seems... there's a more powerful and hidden force observing and manipulating me."

Collins was still stammering, but his speech was visibly becoming more and more fluent:

"This power... it's harmless, it just makes me subconsciously recall my abilities."

His pure black eyes looked at Li Xia, and a stiff smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"Is that...the...God...you...believe in?"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

To prevent anyone from thinking the Hall of Fame is lacking, let me clarify: the Hall of Fame isn't lacking; Collins is a special case.
