My talent panel can be increased

With His appearance, terrifying high temperatures instantly enveloped the world. The grass was instantly carbonized and curled under the extreme heat, turning into black embers that were swept up by invisible heat waves, swirling and rising, and falling like black snow on the burning grassland.

As the temperature rose, the air became violently distorted due to the scorching heat. Every breath Ye Mingqiu took felt like swallowing scalding sand, and a sharp pain shot through his lungs.

[Hint: Hephaestus has unleashed divine pressure on you; all your attributes have been reduced by 40%]

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance has been successfully assessed. The reduction in all attributes has been changed to 20%. Abnormal status resistance cannot completely prevent Shenwei.]

[Title already equipped: Lord of Light and Shadow]

Your attributes have been restored to 100%.

"Is this the descent of a god?"

Ye Mingqiu's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement. He longed to fight against stronger beings, to fight against gods, even if it meant dying.

This is how you should use the Soul Realm Contract!

He deactivated his equipment transformation, revealing a crimson and ferocious dark gold-grade Blood Spear in his hand. The Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor was majestic and solemn, and the Flame Dragon Soul contained within the armor gradually awakened with the arrival of the Fire God, causing raging flames to gradually ignite on the armor.

Strangely, this time the burning armor did not burn Ye Mingqiu's life. Instead, the Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor spontaneously combusted. Like Ye Mingqiu, it was not afraid of challenging the god of fire. On the contrary, such a battle would ignite its supreme passion, and it would do its best to assist its master in the battle.

[Note: The dragon soul of the Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor has awakened, granting you an additional boost to your fire resistance]

Ye Mingqiu smiled, raised his head, and stared intently at the supreme deity suspended in mid-air, his gaze piercing through the scorching and distorted air, his eyes reflecting the undying flames.

[Vulcan - Hephaestus (Tier 3 Deity)]

[Race: Protoss]

【Life: 15000】

Basic Attributes: Strength: 230, Agility: 180, Constitution: 200, Spirit: 220

【ability:???】

The [Hephaestus] high in the sky is not made of flesh and blood; its body is sculpted from molten lava deep within the Earth's core, flowing with a dazzling golden-red hue.

He is not composed of blood and muscles, but of flowing magma and armor, forming a burning human form. His heart is a core like the sun, radiating a terrifying, scorching light and an aura that inspires trembling fear.

Hephaestus held a greatsword made of pure flame, its blade gleaming with light, more dangerous than the midday sun.

As expected of the God of Fire, he's ridiculously strong! This level of attribute and power is simply beyond my current capabilities.

but but

Why do I feel more excited and happier the more I realize this?

Ye Mingqiu grinned, his chest heaving faster and his breathing becoming rapid, his frenzied fighting spirit igniting his indomitable will.

He abruptly raised his blood-red spear, its tip slicing through the scorching air with a sharp screech, pointing it directly at Hephaestus in the heavens above, and shouted, "Come and fight!!"

Hephaestus responded, his body transforming into a crimson afterimage as he fell from the sky, traversing the distance of space with pure speed like a falling meteor.

Almost instantly, the giant sword burning with world-destroying flames crashed down with a terrifying power of 230 points and some unknown skill bonus. The terrifying power seemed capable of destroying mountains and burning the ocean in one blow.

Hephaestus was too fast for Ye Mingqiu to see clearly, and he was unable to respond rationally.

At that critical moment, his fighting instincts kicked in. As the greatsword fell from above, he instinctively swung his blood spear, attacking upwards with the spear, while his body also erupted with a light unique to [Divine Power].

High-speed interrupt spellcasting!

Radiant Shield!

"boom!!"

The next moment, a world-destroying roar erupted instantly, and the blood spear was bent by the blazing sword, the burning flames almost completely evaporating the blood on the spear.

But the blood crystal shone brightly, radiating a power unique to the [Origin of Life], forcefully blocking an attack that was enough to destroy the blood spear. At that moment, the bronze spear that originally formed the blood spear was also ignited with its soul essence, letting out a roar of the soul, fighting an indomitable battle.

"boom!!"

The ground beneath Ye Mingqiu's feet cracked and collapsed instantly, with terrifying and enormous cracks spreading wildly. The pressure of the divine fire completely crushed it, forming a sinkhole with a diameter of over 100 meters.

"puff!!"

Under this terrifying blow, Ye Mingqiu crashed into the earth like a cannonball, spewing out a blood mist mixed with fragments of internal organs from his mouth. His body also made a crisp sound of bones shattering as he crashed into the deepest part of the pit, stirring up towering dust and liquid that had been burned into magma by the flames.

At the bottom of the deep pit, smoke and dust filled the air, and the earth was burned into magma by the Vulcan's attack, with golden liquid flowing everywhere. And it was in this terrifying scene that...

The burning armor protected Ye Mingqiu, who slowly stood up from the lava. If he hadn't consumed various treasures that increased fire resistance and experienced the [Divine Evolution] that increased resistance to all attributes, he probably would have been burned to death by the lava just now.

But it's okay, he's still alive.

Ye Mingqiu coughed up stagnant blood and instantly used [Divine Power] to cast a Holy Healing spell on himself. A tenacious light ignited in the lava, and the Blood Spear also released its own healing spell. Pure white light shone amidst the billowing smoke and flowing dark red lava, and the healing heat soothed the pain.

Blood Spear knew that its master was going to mess things up sooner or later, so learning healing spells early would be the best way to make a difference.

Ye Mingqiu's charred skin regenerated at a visible speed, shedding dead skin, and his broken bones were forcibly pieced together and healed under the effect of treatment, emitting terrifying sounds.

He leaned on his blood-stained spear, staggering as he rose from the abyss of lava and rubble, his entire body bathed in flames and blood.

But

The pain did not deter him; his eyes still burned, even more intensely and frantically than the heart of the god of fire, Hephaestus.

He was even laughing, not a bitter laugh born of despair, but a wildly excited laugh. Ye Mingqiu gripped the blood spear again, his near-death state gradually returning. His chest heaved as he let out a hoarse and frenzied voice: "Hahaha. Hahaha. Even a god high above can't kill me with a single blow now? This is truly, truly amazing!"

Chapter 144 Even Gods Bleed

"Whoo~"

With heavy breathing, the connection between the Blood Spear and Ye Mingqiu deepened rapidly. Crimson crystals spread wildly across Ye Mingqiu's arm, and the flashing of crimson patterns accelerated, further strengthening the bond of life.

Blood Crystal Divine Power + Link Core can increase Ye Mingqiu's life recovery speed by 150%, and even simple healing spells can have a fairly good effect.

Furthermore, Ye Mingqiu's passive skill [Undying in a Hundred Battles] can restore 5% of his health per minute after reaching level 5. Combined with the recovery bonus and the characteristic of doubling the effect on himself, this results in a total of 25% health recovery per minute.

Therefore, Ye Mingqiu not only has a lot of health, but also a very fast health regeneration speed! At this moment, the Unyielding passive effect of the gold-grade equipment [Beast Fang Necklace] is brought to its fullest potential!

【Unyielding】: The strength will not be affected by weakness due to low life force.

"."

【Hephaestus】The face of Hephaestus, made of lava and flowing with golden patterns, showed a slight doubt. He did not understand why this guy could withstand one of his attacks. Even a top-level level 3 overlord should not be able to withstand it.

But He didn't think too much about it. He simply raised the giant sword, and the golden flames suddenly surged, shooting into the sky in an instant, as if to burn a hole in the entire sky.

The brilliant golden flames turned platinum, and the temperature soared, radiating an even more terrifying power, as if it were about to destroy that ant in one blow.

This attack will be very powerful!

Ye Mingqiu's pupils contracted instantly. From the previous confrontation, he had discovered that the flames of [Hephaestus] possessed many powerful characteristics: [Incinerate], [Severely Injured], [Soul Burning], [Vulnerable], [Instant Death], and [Undying]. A series of terrifying effects took effect on Ye Mingqiu, and he almost died!

Fortunately, his abnormal status resistance was superior! He resisted all those negative statuses!

As for [Burning Soul], Ye Mingqiu's soul strength was simply too high, and he directly withstood it.

The next attack will likely be more than just a physical attack with flames; it will probably be a strike from Hephaestus unleashing the full power of his divine authority.

Ye Mingqiu's fighting instincts were screaming at him that he absolutely could not take this attack head-on; no matter how he resisted, he would surely die.

Is it a fatal blow?

I don't think so!

[Tyrant Form] + [Beast King True Form]

The boy facing the gods spread his arms, and his body, as small as an ant, rapidly expanded in a short time. The burning Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor also enlarged, and the phantom of a crimson dragon surrounded him, complementing the giant's figure.

A ten-meter-tall giant stood on the ground, exuding an incomparably powerful aura. With the amplification of the dual states, Ye Mingqiu's physique attribute had reached a terrifying value of 245 points!

And his life.

It has also reached the upper limit of 22809!

Although the numerical value is relatively high, it is still too weak compared to a true god. A true god has a more complete range of amplification multipliers, and various powers can exert a stronger effect.

Even so, Ye Mingqiu was not confident that he could withstand a single blow from [Hephaestus].

"Oh?"

Hephaestus's expression changed slightly, but he still didn't take the giant seriously. He just arrogantly watched Ye Mingqiu complete his transformation and only brought down the attack that had been raised high in the sky after Ye Mingqiu entered his strongest state.

opportunity!

Ye Mingqiu, who had been watching Him closely, finally spotted a barely perceptible flaw. Instantly, he activated [Killing Intent Wave] + [War Roar], and the instant [Hephaestus] landed its attack, he roared: "Roar!!"

In an instant, a terrifying sound wave reached Hephaestus's ears at just the right moment, and at the same time, a blood-red wave of killing intent arrived. The dual mental attacks were launched simultaneously, and even Hephaestus, whose mental strength was as high as 220, experienced a brief moment of disorientation.

It only lasted for a moment, but that one moment was enough!

[Eyes of Death Perception] activated!!

The Overlord-level equipment, the Eye of Omargon, instantly opened its eyes, and an incomparably powerful cursed power was instantly poured into Hephaestus's body. It was a cursed power that was enough to instantly kill a level 5 monarch!

Eye of Death Perception: Inflicts 10 consecutive instant death checks on the target. For each failure, an additional 10 mental corruption and will corruption checks are immediately added, up to a maximum of 100 additional checks.

Hephaestus merely frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the attack, but was not significantly affected by the Eye of Omargon's Eye of Death Perception; the terrifying attack still descended as before.

Tch, what a useless big-eyed trash!

However, the power of this attack has been significantly weakened! Ye Mingqiu's objective has been achieved!

"Radiant Shield!"

Ye Mingqiu immediately activated [High-Speed ​​Interruption Spellcasting], instantly converting his powerful [Divine Power] into a shield to protect himself, while continuing to cast various self-protective spells.

The world-destroying flames fell, but he did not take the opportunity to dodge.

[War Tyrant] launches a campaign, charging towards [Hephaestus]'s true form with a blood spear in hand, while simultaneously activating [Blood Shadow] to enter its final, complete form.

[Bloodthirsty Tyrant Form]

Heavenly fire fell!

Platinum flames poured down like a celestial river, carrying terrifying heat, and fell upon the giant charging towards the god, instantly engulfing it and completely destroying the entire grassland.

"Crack!"

Almost instantly, Ye Mingqiu's [Radiant Shield] was annihilated by the platinum flames, and the terrifying attack landed on him, unleashing astonishing power.

"Um"

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant let out a heavy groan as its terrifyingly massive body was scorched by the flames, and the Fiery Dragon Soul surrounding its Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor was also annihilated by the fire.

His body surface quickly turned charred and then carbonized. The light of [Divine Power] constantly appeared and shone on his body surface, which were traces of [Holy Healing] and [Radiant Shield], but it was almost useless against the platinum flames that were engulfing him like a tsunami.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant is now like a piece of raw iron thrown into a steel furnace, every inch of its skin being melted by the terrifying temperature.

During the melting process, Ye Mingqiu did not back down. Even though his body surface was completely carbonized, his eyes were burned, and he lost his hearing, making him almost unrecognizable, he still kept moving forward.

A true tyrant would never retreat or run away in such a place!

I'm risking my life waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that I myself am not even sure will come.

A deity's moves are likely flawless, but if I let Him reveal a slight flaw when unleashing an attack, will He show a momentary interruption of energy after successfully unleashing the move, that is, a discontinuity?

Maybe, maybe not.

In a battle against a deity, hoping that the deity will reveal a weakness on its own is wishful thinking. One must take the initiative and actively find the weakness; only in this way is there any possibility of success.

The opportunity has come! !

Just as the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was completely engulfed by the platinum-gold flames and was about to be burned into a dried corpse, the golden-red liquid surging from the wrist of the God of Fire, Hephaestus, briefly stopped flowing. It was an extremely tiny flaw that was almost undetectable.

However, Ye Mingqiu's level 5 [Instinctive Perception] allowed him to sense that slight flaw, even though he had lost all his senses at this moment and could not be sure whether his perception was real.

But! How can you possibly succeed without taking a gamble!

Give up on treatment!

The moment Ye Mingqiu gave up using [Divine Power] to heal, his health plummeted to 0, but the passive effect of [Undying Tyrant] allowed him to recover 20% of his health in a short time, and his body regained its functions and was no longer stiff from carbonization.

His earlier steps forward, closing the distance with Hephaestus, now became a crucial foreshadowing.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant smiled, his massive body bending to gather strength, channeling all his remaining power into the Blood Spear, and using his pitch-black giant hand to overdraw his strength, completing a strike at the cost of his life.

Then, he died completely, turning into black charcoal in the torrent of platinum flames, which was then devoured and melted by the scalding fire.

The blood spear shot out, symbolizing Ye Mingqiu's strike imbued with all his power and his absolute devotion to battle.

"boom!"

A crimson meteor broke through the sea of ​​platinum flames and hurtled towards Hephaestus in astonishment, striking with unbelievable precision at the opening on his wrist.
