Why is my anime art style so weird?

Sure enough, this thing really is a unique enhancement item.

However, when Xu Ming saw the system's note, his face immediately darkened, and he cursed under his breath.

That system is a bastard! Those profiteers are scoundrels!

Xu Ming suppressed his urge to drag the system out and beat it up, and tried to combine the Medusa Skull and the Ice Rose.

Unexpectedly, the system started acting up again.

—This equipment has a 60% compatibility with 'Medusa's Skull', and 40000 Strange Points are required to achieve a 100% success rate in crafting it.

There's even a matching score?!

Moreover, this price is almost equivalent to the cost of upgrading the Physics Holy Sword from six stars to seven stars.

Xu Ming took out the 'Saintess's Prayer' and tried it out; the result was even lower this time.

—This equipment has a very low compatibility with 'Medusa's Skull', making it impossible to achieve a 100% success rate in crafting.

Good grief, this one has gone on strike.

Of course, he was just trying it out. After all, 'Saintess's Prayer' is one of the four-piece set, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to use the set to synthesize it.

Xu Ming tried a few and found that the 'Snake's Magatama - Remnant (Six-star, Upgradeable)' had the highest compatibility, reaching 80%.

Xu Ming hesitated for a while, but finally decided to use the 'Snake Magatama - Remnant' for synthesis.

Chapter 559: Gorgon’s Bond

This battle with Athena demonstrates this.

Against a level seven enemy, the Orochi clone's effect is negligible.

The effect of poison reflecting damage is also quite useless.

If it really comes to the point where he, as the summoner, has to personally rush in with a crowbar, it means the situation has become dangerous to a certain extent.

On the contrary, the effect of complete toxin immunity is quite good. After all, strange abilities come in all shapes and sizes, and you never know when one might come into play.

To achieve a 100% success rate in combining the 'Serpent's Magatama' and the 'Medusa's Skull', 2 Mysterious Points are required.

I just received a large number of points, but I'm already going to use up quite a few of them.

Nevertheless, Xu Ming had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant swallowing his pride.

He couldn't afford to lose either the 'Medusa's Skull' or the 'Serpent's Magatama's Fragment'.

Xu Ming quickly chose to combine the two.

—Would you like to pay 20000 Mystery Points to combine 'Medusa's Skull' with 'Serpent's Magatama Remnant'? (Yes/No)

Xu Ming took a deep breath and selected 'Yes'.

As a result, his weird points dropped sharply from 45000 to 25000.

— Synthesis begins, please wait...

After confirmation, the system immediately took back both items.

A dazzling rainbow-colored light enveloped the two props.

After a while, the light gradually faded, and a delicate silver-white bracelet appeared in Xu Ming's palm.

The bracelet is woven from silver threads as thin as a human hair, with a coin-sized badge in the center. The image of Gorgon on the badge is lifelike.

Gorgon Bonds (Seven Stars, Cannot be Upgraded) - A testament to the kinship between the three Gorgon sisters.

Source of Poison – Completely ineffective against poisons and petrification effects below or equal to the equipment level. When the wearer attacks, there is a certain chance to inflict a deadly poison.

Super Strength – Greatly enhances the wearer's strength.

Petrification Temple – Unlocks a domain that petrifies all enemies within its area. (Can be used 3 times per day)

Blood Temple – Unlocks a domain that forcibly absorbs the energy of all enemies within its range, while simultaneously enhancing blood-related abilities. (Can be used 3 times per day)

Gorgon Descends – Directly summons the Beast Goddess Gorgon. (Can be used once per day)

After reviewing the attributes of 'Gorgon's Bond', Xu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

It was worth the great effort he put in to synthesize this piece of equipment.

Not only are all the attributes exceptionally powerful, but it also possesses a total of five abilities!

Even among seven-star equipment, this is a rare and top-quality piece of equipment.

Xu Ming closed the system panel and then put the bracelet on his right wrist with satisfaction.

Just then, he looked up and suddenly noticed that his older sister looked exhausted, her little head nodding repeatedly, her eyes glazed over, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Xu Ming couldn't help but blink.

He felt that he must have closed the system panel incorrectly.

Even my own sister's style has changed!

The strong-willed, cunning older sister has suddenly transformed into a clueless, adorable airhead!?

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Xu Ming quickly asked with a concerned expression.

Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned widely, rubbed her eyes, and said slowly:

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so sleepy~"

Xu Ming was startled.

The Chaos Banner was still planted in its original spot, and even if my sister was injured, she should have recovered by now.

He quickly and carefully recalled every detail of the previous battle.

Xu Ming suddenly remembered. His older sister had consumed the blood of several goddesses.

Especially since their blood is golden, it's obviously suspicious.

At the time, I even mentally complained about my sister's ambiguous posture when she was sucking blood.

So Xu Ming said cautiously:

"Sister, is it from the blood you just drank...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Xu Ming with a blank expression.

"Little brother, did I eat something bad?"

Xu Ming: o(╯□╰)o

Before Xu Ming could say anything more...

Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned again.

"I can't take it anymore~ I'm so sleepy~ I'm going to sleep now, goodnight~ bro..."

Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed into Xu Ming's arms.

Xu Ming quickly embraced her, and a faint fragrance immediately filled his nostrils.

He was taken aback and ended up not being able to hold on to her.

Unexpectedly, Kasumigaoka Utaha's body was limp, like a noodle, and she slid down Xu Ming's body in one go, then slid directly into the shadows.

Xu Ming's mouth dropped open.

After its adorable and silly art style, my older sister has now turned into liquid!

With great difficulty, Xu Ming finally learned the specific details from the system.

Just as he had imagined, his older sister had fallen into a deep sleep because she had absorbed too much of the goddess's blood.

The blood of the goddess contains enormous energy, and Kasumigaoka Utaha absorbed more than one. The three or four powers mixed together immediately caused a conflict within her body.

Her slumber can be considered a form of self-protection within her body. Once she awakens from her slumber, she will fully digest this power and become even stronger.

Under the system's covert control, the harmful parts of these energies have been eliminated, and they will not suffer the terrible curse like the Gorgons.

After receiving a positive response from the system, Xu Ming finally felt relieved.

It's good that it's a good thing.

But he can't stop now.

Tsukuyomi is still lurking in the Red Team's camp.

Xu Ming could only proceed with the next class trial while his older sister was in a deep sleep.

When the time came, the familiar feeling of weightlessness returned.

Xu Ming returned to the rooftop of the Suiqunyuan Academy teaching building.

Xu Ming immediately felt a sudden weight on both his shoulders.

"You're back!"

"Hmph! Why is it so slow!?"

Two tiny creatures flew over and sat on his shoulders.

Xu Ming's face immediately darkened.

These two little ones seem to be using him as their personal chair.

If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to trick... cough cough, borrowing the 'Sword of Saint Catherine' and the 'Sword of the Evil Dragon Fafnir', he would definitely have let those two little brats taste the power of his fists drilling into their temples!

"I think it's best to leave as soon as possible; it's not safe here anymore."

At this moment, Bai Zhentan suddenly leaned close to Xu Ming's ear and whispered a reminder.

Xu Ming's expression hardened; he could already sense that something was amiss on the rooftop.

It was still as desolate as when he left, covered in dust and weeds.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that bloody footprints have appeared on the ground at some unknown time.

These bloody footprints varied in size, some clear and some blurry, as if they were made by shoes of different sizes.

Xu Ming's expression darkened.

He remembered clearly that there were absolutely no bloody footprints before he went to the Trial World.
