Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

It's done!

Su Chen cheered inwardly and quickly opened the skill bar to check.

【Poisonous Soil of Sin】

[Skill Effect: Creates a highly poisonous area centered on the caster. All non-friendly units within the area are immediately covered in the "Poison" status and their movement speed is reduced by 30%. Maximum area radius = 10 meters + (current maximum number of "Poison" stacks ÷ 100) × 1 meter. The caster cannot move during the skill's duration. The area's size can be adjusted to control mana consumption.]

[Mana Cost: 200 points to activate, then continuously consumes 50 + (current activation radius * 10) points per second.]

[Cooldown: 90 seconds.]

[Duration: Maximum 60 seconds, or until mana is depleted/cancelled manually.]

……

Su Chen stared at the panel for a full half minute without even blinking.

What kind of god-like skill is this?!

He couldn't help but curse under his breath and sat up straight.

He had seen those ridiculously powerful skills before.

For example, the fire mage's skill "Wrath of the Flame Demon" consumes 500 mana and deals fire magic damage equal to 3 times the spirit, which is already recognized by professionals as a large-area AOE skill.

But its range is a pitiful radius of only 10 meters!

It will take another 3 minutes to cool down.

To ordinary professionals, that was already a devastating burst skill.

However, if this [Sinful Poisonous Soil] were shown to other poison-type mages, it would definitely be called "garbage".

Why?

Because its underlying mechanism is too stupid.

The poison stacks are full on non-friendly units within the area, which looks impressive, but for ordinary poison-type professionals, their maximum poison stack is only three to five layers at most.

Even if you instantly stack five layers of poison, losing hundreds of health points per second, what's the point?

and.

You cannot move during the release period!

What do monks fear most? Standing meditation!

Standing still as a target while enduring a massive mana drain calculated per second based on radius is practically digging your own grave on a rapidly changing battlefield.

A normal level 30 mage has a mental strength of just over a thousand and a mana value of at most a few thousand.

If you increase the radius of this skill, you can drain your mana bar in just a few seconds without needing to fight monsters.

and so.

For other professionals, this is definitely a useless skill.

but.

Su Chen took a deep breath and slowly lowered his gaze to look at another line of data on his panel.

[Current maximum number of toxin stacks: 35114]

……

His brain began to work at lightning speed.

"If I activate this skill..."

"The moment the domain expands, the poison stacks of all monsters within its range will be determined by the system to be 'fully stacked'."

"In other words, I no longer need to deal damage or apply poison, nor do I need to wait for the snake guards to slowly spray venom."

"As long as you're covered by this domain..."

Su Chen muttered to himself, his voice gradually carrying a hint of excitement that even he found perverse.

"It will instantly become a shimmering veil!"

Supermodel.

A true supermodel!

Su Chen looked at the panel and couldn't help but rub his temples.

Previously, when he entered a dungeon, he had to painstakingly summon tens of thousands of [Corrosive Serpent Guards] and have them spit out names one by one like spitting phlegm.

If you encounter some complex terrain or disgusting monsters that can sneak and burrow underground, you'll waste time searching for them.

Now?

Su Chen glanced at the formula for calculating the domain's range again.

Maximum radius = 10 meters + (35114 ÷ 100) × 1 meter = 361.14 meters.

A radius of nearly 400 meters!

That is, an absolute dead zone with a diameter of more than 700 meters.

"Enter the map, find a center point, and sit down on the ground."

"Activate skill, maximum range."

"Anything in this circle that is not friendly will instantly be covered in poison and slowed down by 30%, although the slowdown is useless since it will kill you instantly anyway."

"This isn't just a highly toxic area, it's a human-shaped nuclear radiation zone!"

Su Chen had even already mentally simulated what it would be like to run dungeons in the future.

Others carefully lure monsters, move around, use skills, and use health potions.

What about him?

Enter, sit down, activate your domain, close your eyes and sleep for a minute, then get up and pick up what you've dropped.

A completely idle gameplay style.

As for the negative restriction of "cannot move during release".

Just kidding, even though he can't move, would anyone really dare to rush in and stab him?

Su Chen sneered.

The only thing to consider is the mana cost of this skill.

If the radius is fully extended to 361 meters, the mana consumed per second is 50 + 361 × 10 = 3660 points.

With his current mental strength, he'll probably only be able to activate it for about forty seconds.

"Forty seconds...that's enough."

Su Chen murmured.

Forty seconds is enough time for him to kill 99% of his enemies.

and.

The most terrifying thing is not the 700-meter dead zone in front of us.

Rather, it's the core underlying logic of this skill—it can grow infinitely with the number of poison layers!

In other words, the more monsters he kills, the higher the maximum amount of poison accumulated by [Doom Drain] becomes, the larger the skill's coverage area becomes, and the more terrifying the accompanying true damage becomes!

Theoretically speaking.

As long as there are enough monsters, the range of the skill can be expanded infinitely!

"It's now at 30,000 floors, covering an area of ​​300 meters..."

Su Chen's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

"What if we stack millions, tens of millions... or even hundreds of millions of layers in the future?"

"At that time, wouldn't the radius of the domain be able to cover several thousand meters, tens of thousands of meters...?"

"Even, like the Dongfeng 5C intercontinental ballistic missile of my previous life, it could cover an entire city, an entire country, or even... the entire globe?!"

"..."

hiss!

Su Chen gasped sharply, startled by the wildly expanding thoughts in his mind.

If that day ever comes.

Without much effort, he simply found a hilltop, sat down, and activated his skill.

The life or death of all living things on Earth truly rests in his hands.

What abyss descended? What alien invasion?

All of them turned into pus in the poisonous mist of the Venomous Lord!

Only now, looking at the [Sinful Poisonous Soil] panel, did he truly grasp the terror of his [Venomous Mage] SSS-rank, unique hidden class.

No wonder textbooks record that even powerful figures like Zhan Wuji and Lin Xiaotian, who suppressed countless formidable enemies, only had a professional level of SS.

"SSS-rank profession..."

Su Chen closed the panel, let out a long sigh of relief, and his eyes burned with the flames of ambition.

"This thing really can destroy the world."
