Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 399 Beneath the exterior of a seemingly useless, reclusive girl, beats the heart of an angel.

Even though she calls herself a lazy angel, Gabriel is still Gabriel. In every action and word, she is still the angel who can bring hope and light to others.

When Satania and her dog were wandering in Hokkaido, she chose to work overtime in exchange for her boss's permission to keep a dog. Similarly, in the story, Gabriel defied God's principles to save the girl's life.

Although he always jokes about the threat to humanity's survival and seems to be neglecting his duties, causing a lot of trouble for his companions, if you trace it back to its source, even if he spends money on the game, it's only to save lives within the game.

Gabriel was an angel from beginning to end; otherwise, how could her "angelic halo" possibly become brighter just by wiping it?

Even in the countless works of human imagination, how many angels could restore the halo symbolizing "perfection," "purity," and "innocence" to "holiness" after "falling"?

There is only one possibility for this to happen: the "halo" itself has never "fallen".

that's the truth.

Before her fall to earth, Gabriel's image was that of a "perfect, top-performing angel."

Her "fall" is less a "fall" and more a rebellion against a pre-set, flawless "perfection".

Online games gave her an outlet, allowing her to experience the freedom of "imperfection".

Her inherent kindness hasn't changed; what has changed is the way she expresses it.

She transformed from an angel who followed dogma and behaved impeccably into an angel who followed her heart and did good in the way that was most comfortable for her.

Beneath her seemingly useless, homebody exterior, beats a heart of gold, the heart of an angel.

This is why Gabriel's "angelic halo" can freely switch between "divine" and "sloth".

However, speaking of this, Gabriel's "angelic halo" actually has a special mechanism.

[Mechanism: Wiping Switch]

[The aura can be wiped with a cloth to switch its state (cooldown time 5 minutes). An effect is triggered at the moment of switching based on the current state.]

[Black → Gold: Removes all debuffs from self and restores 10% health to nearby teammates.]

[Gold → Black: Deals a light and dark explosion (200% attack power) to surrounding enemies and knocks back smaller enemies.]

This mechanism further enhances the value of the "angelic halo".

In critical moments for the team, you can quickly switch to the gold form to remove negative status effects and heal your teammates; when surrounded by enemies, the explosion effect of switching to the black form can instantly turn the tide of battle.

It's a design made for real combat.

The switching effects and form characteristics complement each other perfectly, forming a complete combat system.

However, because it requires understanding the duration of the form's characteristics and switching cooldowns through calculations, it demands a high level of tactical skill from the user.

Even so, it is still quite terrifying. Moreover, the mechanism of "causing a light and dark explosion (200% attack power) to surrounding enemies" during the process of going from gold to black, if based on the "holder's" own attack power, is equivalent to directly unleashing twice the destructive power of the holder.

Fortunately, the effect of this light-dark explosion is controllable; otherwise, in the hands of a powerful wielder, its destructive power would be unimaginable.

Based on Ye Xuan's normal seventh-tier strength, if he were to fully activate this mechanism, the resulting energy burst would likely be enough to instantly destroy the surface of Blue Star.

Angel Yan glanced at the golden halo in her hand, then handed it back to Ye Xuan.

"What, don't you want it?"

Ye Xuan accepted the halo and asked with a half-smile.

"Of course I want it, why wouldn't I?"

"But can I take it?"

Angel Yan pursed her lips, her tone clearly filled with regret.

Who wouldn't want all the treasures of the heavens?

Moreover, Gabriel's "angelic halo" even took the form of game equipment after it descended into reality.

The various bonuses, abilities, and mechanisms are all top-notch.

Most importantly, as a "game item," its boost to the user is fixed, with no upper limit whatsoever.

A third-tier ability user wearing this is comparable to a fourth-tier user. While a fourth-tier ability user cannot directly reach the fifth tier, they can still take a big step forward on the path to the fourth tier.

Fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth tiers. Powerful individuals at each level can enjoy a fixed boost through the "Angel Halo".

Such a treasure would be irresistible to anyone who wants to improve their strength.

However, these are treasures from all the heavens that Ye Xuan obtained, not that she obtained them. How could she possibly want them?
If it were just an ordinary item, that would be one thing, but is this an ordinary item?
Even among the treasures possessed by Ye Xuan, its value is extremely precious.

While it can't compare to the limitless potential and "idealistic" treasures of the heavens like the Flame Dragon Armor, the Shura Armor, or Ultraman Tiga, it's only inferior to them. Among the remaining treasures of the heavens, even the Kamen Rider transformation device isn't as valuable. After all, the Kamen Rider transformation device has an upper limit; once that limit is reached, it not only fails to amplify the transformation but also becomes a limiter.

How could she not want such a priceless treasure from the heavens?
However, she currently has nothing of equal value to Ye Xuan to trade for the "Angel Halo".

Just take a look, why would I actually want it?

Although Angel Yan was extremely reluctant, she still handed the golden halo back.

"However, even for you, the 'angelic halo' that is not affected by your own strength and can consistently amplify your abilities should still have extremely high value, right?"

"Judging from your tone just now, you didn't seem to care at all?"

Is it just an illusion?

Angel Yan clearly sensed the casualness in Ye Xuan's tone. Ye Xuan didn't seem to value the "angel halo" much, or even care about it at all.

It was as if if she asked, even if he didn't give her the "angel halo" directly, he would give it to her under the pretext of giving him items of equivalent value after the "angel civilization" descended in the future.

But why would Ye Xuan be so indifferent to such a treasure from the heavens that possesses special skills, has a fixed amplification, and can switch forms?

Even for him, a celestial treasure of this caliber must be quite important, right?
"It's just a fixed increase with some skills included."

“I do not lack similar abilities.”

"Besides, you're overestimating it a bit."

"Even if it comes into reality in the form of a game item, how could it possibly have no upper limit?"

"You just don't know its upper limit."

Even in games, the concept of a maximum level still exists.

Once a character reaches the maximum level, their attributes are fixed; the only difference is the amount of attribute boost depending on the equipment they are equipped with.

The strongest character paired with the strongest item for their class—that's the limit of the "game system."

The "angel halo" has descended into reality in the form of a game item, so it is impossible for it to violate this basic rule.

Its so-called "unlimited" increase is only relative to the current user's strength.

When the holder's power exceeds a certain threshold, the aura's amplification effect will disappear.

This critical point was set based on Gabriel's potential.

As the top graduate of the angel school, his prototype is the famous archangel Gabriel from mythology. In the mythological system, Gabriel symbolizes wisdom and shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the heavens and judging evil.

Gabriel's future potential is unknown, but she is at least capable of reaching the eighth rank.

Therefore, the amplification effect of the "angel halo" will only work during this stage, and will lose its effect once it exceeds this stage.

Although it will have an effect on Ye Xuan now and for some time to come, as he said, he himself does not lack skills or amplification abilities.

The "angelic aura" held no appeal for him.

"It's just a fixed increase with some skills?"

"You don't lack similar abilities?"

Angel Yan didn't care about the latter. Since Ye Xuan said so, it meant that this "angel halo" did indeed have an upper limit.

Even though its value is diminished as a result, its preciousness as a treasure of the heavens is still beyond question. Moreover, she could sense that the angelic halo could work on her, which meant that its upper limit was at least the seventh rank, and most likely above the seventh rank.

This level of celestial treasure is no less valuable than most of the celestial treasures that Ye Xuan possesses.

And what do you mean by saying that he doesn't lack similar abilities?
Did Ye Xuan obtain other treasures similar to the "Angel Halo" that could continuously amplify his abilities when worn?
Moreover, judging from his words, there are quite a few similar treasures from the heavens? If there were only one, he certainly wouldn't have used the phrase "not lacking" to describe it.

Ye Xuan simply chuckled and did not reply.

Of all the "blessings" he possesses, how many provide a boost to himself that is inferior to the "angelic halo"?
[Elemental Blessing] grants 80% immunity to elemental attacks such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, lightning, light, and darkness. [Sky Blessing] grants him increased power in sunny, rainy, cloudy, hailous, daytime, and nighttime conditions, and these effects can be stacked.

The "Spiritual Blessing" grants him immense resistance to mental attacks, while the "Godslayer's Blessing" directly amplifies his power.

His most basic [magic resistance] ability ensures his absolute resistance to magic, curses, and other such forces, making it difficult for even god-level spells to have much effect on him.

This is even without him taking the initiative to defend. If he does take the initiative to defend, the attack he receives will be deflected and hit elsewhere.

In addition, it also possesses the abilities of [combat instinct], [crisis awareness], [self-dispelling curses], [poison sensitivity and resistance], and [hundredfold increase in adrenaline], all of which are covered by the [Godslayer's Blessing], which amplify itself and have no upper limit.

If we add buffs like [Sword Saint's Blessing], [Evasion Blessing], [Arrow Blessing], and [First Encounter Blessing], which don't directly amplify his own power but indirectly enhance it, then...
Therefore, what he has in abundance is his own ability to increase his power.
