Great, we're doomed now!

Suddenly, Ye Shou seized the moment when Dalam's heavy punch missed, lowered his body, and golden ripples gathered in his right fist with unprecedented intensity. He was like a bullet fired from a gun, concentrating all his power into one point!

"Immortal Ripple Swift Movement!"

This punch met Darram's wide-open defense perfectly, abandoning all fancy moves and maximizing power and speed. The air in front of him was compressed into visible ripples, and with an unstoppable momentum, it accurately struck the left side of Darram's jaw!

boom--!!!

A golden light shattered the ceiling and shot straight into the sky like fireworks. A huge impact rang out, and the dark aura on Darram's body was dispelled.

His robust body was sent flying backward by the immense force, like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc before crashing heavily against the hard wall behind him, shaking off countless specks of dust, before finally sliding to the ground.

For a moment, only Ye Shou's slightly rapid breathing and the faint sound of water dripping from the pipes in the distance could be heard in the side hall.

Darram lay on his back amidst the cold rubble, his chest heaving violently, the golden ripples manifesting as intense electrical discharges, countless golden arcs leaping across his body.

The dark giant was momentarily exhausted—this should not have happened.

No matter what kind of damage he suffers in this form, he can actually recover after unleashing the power of darkness, since his true form is far stronger than this... But what's with this feeling of powerlessness?

He stared at the hole Ye Shou had punched, peering through it into the eternal darkness at the top of the pyramid, his ears ringing.

Some distant yet familiar sounds, as if piercing through the dust of time, faintly echoed once more...

It was an overwhelming cheer, flowers and praise, the glory bestowed upon the champion... the heartfelt joy and gratitude of the people he had once protected after each of his victories.

but!

"...How I miss those wonderful days."

Darram remained expressionless, a calmness on his face that seemed incongruous with his barbaric appearance.

After saying that, he took out the "flint," pressed his thumb on the top, and a silvery-white flash of light, like an icicle, burst forth from the darkness, and a thin beam of light suddenly shone from inside the crystal.

huh~

The flint was thrown over, arcing through the air before landing in Ye Shou's hand.

"But I can no longer trust humans."

Darram said without any emotion, "If you hand this over, the boss will definitely be angry, and I might be treated as a traitor and given a good beating, but a loss is a loss, and this is your prize... Strange warrior, are you really going to that tower?"

It's pointless now. Even a flint couldn't ignite it, because it's already... Hmph, let's just get through the darkness alive first!

--call!

Darram's body was shrouded in darkness and vanished without a trace, turning into a gust of black wind.

"An ultra-ancient gangster with a strong sense of brotherhood?"

Looking at the "quest items" in his hand, Ye Shou felt even more like he was playing an old-school RPG!

Speaking of this kind of villainous good man who enjoys fighting and values ​​loyalty... he's such a classic!

What Ye Shou didn't expect was that an even more classic development awaited him, such as the job change unlocking after the battle cutscene—

【Ding! 】

[System Card - Random]

[This topic: It's so powerful it strangles generation after generation, and it changes faster than anyone else once it's in your hands!]

If you draw 100 points (fake), you can choose any combination from the following options.

Note: There are no negative options this time.

Please make a decision within 24 hours.

The effects of all options will last for one month.

-40:

【The Way of the Stars】

• Obtain the perfect blueprint for light attribute evolution, unlock the ascending stage of life form. Once selected, you will not enter the wrong evolutionary branch, but will be guided by a certain trend to always stay on the correct evolutionary path, moving towards the goal of the primordial light.

There is no possibility of running out of potential or being unable to turn back. The other attributes absorbed can be stored as variant forms and will not affect the original light.

The Path of Darkness

• Obtain the perfect blueprint for dark attribute evolution, unlock the ascending stage of life form. There is no wrong evolution path. No matter what kind of power you absorb or what form you evolve into, you will eventually reach the ultimate darkness.

[Sword of Light]

• By fusing specific items with one's own energy, a "divine artifact" can theoretically grow on its own.

However, this is different from ordinary energy enhancement. It is a link between vitality and even spiritual power. Only items that possess certain potential and can resonate with oneself are qualified for sublimation.

[The big stick of darkness]

The effect is similar to the Holy Sword of Light, but it doesn't have many requirements for the target object, as long as the material strength is sufficient and it is completely under its control.

It starts with high stats, but if the item leaves its side, there is a risk of it going independent or rebelling.

-15:

[My favorite red form]

• Due to the "red" characteristic, all transformation forms that excel in melee combat and have high defense and health will receive an additional "muscle favor", greatly increasing their durability and damage resistance.

When health is below half, it will automatically and slowly recover as long as it is not damaged for more than three seconds. It will stop recovering when it is above half or when it is hit again.

[That bastard who refuses to pay his debts]

Borrowing based on one's own ability does not require repayment.

• You own the energy absorbed from others, regardless of its attribute, and it will not be affected even if you fight against the person who absorbed it.

[Otto Jeep]

• Through rigorous yet compassionate training, one can pass on their Ultra Form techniques to others.

[Ultraman.jpg]

• By simply using the name "Ultraman", the requirements for chanting or posture when casting magic, light, or physical attacks can be reduced, and the corresponding effects can still be triggered even if the movements are inaccurate.

[Cosmic Dark Forces]

• They are favored by dark-attribute monsters or aliens and are easily seen as potential targets for recruitment.

[The advantage is in my favor, even though it's two against one!]

• Only when facing two enemies at the same time will one's fighting spirit be high and one's strength be enhanced, and the opponents will be unable to cooperate well due to mutual interference, creating more opportunities for battle.

[The human host does not die in the plane crash]

[Enlarged at the start]

[Five-Second Real Man]

"I. One entry is forty?"

Ye Shou's eyes widened. He had thought he was a good earner and was complacent about his savings of a hundred or two hundred yuan. But he realized once again that money was never enough!

Chapter 236 May they all die under the power sword!

【The Way of the Stars】, select instantly!

Hesitate and you will lose!

No matter how difficult the evolution is or how many times it takes, just for the words "Primordial Light," it's totally worth the gamble!

The Arcane faction has no shortage of all sorts of mystical and supernatural things that can boost one's strength, and this entry is like the "orthodox inner cultivation method" in martial arts novels, which can prevent one from going astray by leveling up too quickly.

After finishing this task, Ye Shoucai calmed down and began to seriously study the system card. He opened the corresponding entry and carefully examined the more detailed description of its effects, word by word.

Incidentally, he only just realized that another refresh cycle had passed... After all, he hadn't had even a day or two of personal time since arriving here, wasting his chance to enter the dungeon this month.

After leaving the ancient world, he needs to quickly enter a dungeon. Other worlds are fine, he can just follow the steps, but in "Iron Blood," when he really encounters a crossroads where events are about to unfold, he can't just abandon it.

"【The Path of Darkness】...Since it's not categorized as negative, does that mean it's purely an elemental attribute? But this description...is the final form just a conceptualization?"

Ye Shou studied the matter for a long time, becoming increasingly troubled. He, who was usually decisive, became unusually hesitant.

This system card is quite special. In general, it offers two different paths, but there are no negative options. From Ye Shou's personal perspective, it is beneficial and harmless no matter which path you choose.

Of course, the Path of Stars is a must-choose, but the Path of Darkness is not without its merits.

First and foremost, it's important to understand that both paths, when they reach their final destination, should result in roughly the same level of strength. The description suggests that the latter path allows for faster growth, but the former has a somewhat subjective effect.

Both of these are very pure "concepts." Although they will not forcibly distort one's mental state, they can be influenced by external factors over a long period of time, just like how one is influenced by one's surroundings.

For example, light represents "positive factors" such as life, hope, and change, while darkness represents "negative factors" such as silence, cooling, and eternity. All life possesses both of these qualities.

Choosing one path makes it easier to attract people with similar traits, and over time, this will naturally change some of your preconceived notions.

This is an easy phenomenon to understand. It's like the story of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque, two people with the same bloodline who later became so different because of their different environments. One was too cold and aloof, while the other was too lively and bustling. In reality, a balance between the two would be the best approach.

—The thought of choosing both flashed through Ye Shou's mind.

"Light and darkness as one" sounds really powerful!

After all, it's an Arcane entry; light and darkness are fundamental concepts in the entire worldview!

With the compatibility of all attributes, Ye Shou has never encountered the problem of "attribute conflict" in all this time. And judging from some works of the Arcane series, although light and dark are opposites, they can also be reconciled.

—Beal's power has been exploited by the new generation countless times!

But he had to consider a few issues:

First, the "pseudo-points" purchase mechanism means that Ye Shou can get it for free for a month, and then spend Destiny Coins to buy it after seeing the effect.

These two entries cost eighty points, but he also had several other entries he wanted, which were clearly not enough. If he didn't want to give up, he would have to use coins to buy them in advance.

Secondly, the upper limit of the [Path of Darkness] and the [Path of Stars] is the same. However, there are too few examples of light and darkness combining in the original work. For example, the primordial galaxy is basically just a background. Most of the others are "transformation forms" rather than evolutions of the essence of life. When they exit the form, they are still the same as before.
