Life Dungeon Game

[Available Time: 00:00:00]

[Do you wish to exchange one exchange star for 1.5 hours of usage time for the skill 'Usurper God'? (Your current available exchange stars: 0)]

After the last system update, an option to exchange for character card abilities was added. The number of exchange stars required to exchange for an ability is four times that of a dialogue character card.

The advantage is that the exchanged abilities can be directly used by the current character in the dungeon.

'Usurper God' refers to the power of a person who oversteps the bounds of propriety.

In practical use, this ability is similar to the one currently possessed by [The Usurper] Nell, but its actual combat power is slightly weaker.

The core ability of the 'Usurper God' is 'Rank'. After using this ability, Heo can obtain a portion of the 'God of War' rank, just like Nell stole the rank of the God of War.

However, unlike Nel, 'Ilo' has no 'connection' with the God of War, so 'Ilo' cannot use the God of War's power as easily as Nel.

Although he could rely on this connection to 'steal' a portion of the God of War's power as support, the amount he could steal was not much.

When using this ability, Heo possesses sufficient rank, but his power is primarily supported by himself.

The power he obtained from the God of War only allowed him to unleash a portion of his B-rank strength for a short period of time.

Therefore, he borrowed the ability of a high-ranking being to create 'offspring', using the 'Eye of Elimination' as a foundation and incorporating the power of the God of War to create an 'offspring' exactly like himself, to replace him and walk in Winter City.

In this process, with Eve's help, he modified the offspring's appearance and the structure of its organs, but the offspring's skin could never be modified to resemble normal human skin.

Therefore, he kept his skin in an abnormal state as much as possible, making it appear as if he had used supernatural powers to enhance it.

The reason for not using Nell's identity to create a new offspring is that, given the distance between Rock City and Winter City, the offspring wouldn't have enough time to arrive before the character card's usage time would run out.

The price for the first exchange of 'Usurper God' is 0.5 exchange stars for 1.5 hours.

The offspring can survive for another hour after the power supply is cut off.

Therefore, the actual existence time of the offspring becomes two and a half hours.

Because these are offspring created by 'Ilo' using 'usurper', not 'Nel's' offspring, even after the usurper's power disappears, 'Ilo' still maintains a strong connection with the offspring.

Therefore, He'ao, who uses the identity of Yiluo, can forcibly 'descend' some of his power onto his offspring by relying on the connection between them.

This makes the child

The successor can gain a certain degree of 'vision' of 'divine consciousness'.

However, this descent consumes a great deal of energy, so Heo only descends for a very short time.

If we only look for energy convergence points, this extremely short time is actually enough.

The offspring's exoskeleton itself is very strong in defense, so He Ao also directly enhanced part of his bones to make bone swords for use as weapons.

Of course, it turned out that this bone sword was still slightly inferior to a veteran B-grade weapon like Koven's.

However, the final outcome did not deviate from He's plan.

He was well aware that the 'patriarch' most likely had a backup plan to seal him away; in a sense, he was voluntarily 'sealed'.

If he is not dealt with, given the methods of that 'patriarch', he will most likely not start the ritual rashly, and even if he does start the ritual, he will focus a great deal of attention on him.

In that case, the difficulty for him to deal with the Eternal Divine Kingdom and the Eternal Secret Cult would increase exponentially, and he would lose the initiative in the situation.

So he might not make it back alive from this mission.

As the difficulty of the dungeon increases, the enemies he faces also become more formidable.

Therefore, by strategically retreating and shifting from the overt to the covert, one can regain some of the initiative.

Turn passivity into initiative.

As for the seal.

He Ao glanced at the crystal eyeball in his hand.

That seal was indeed powerful; it would probably be impossible to break without power approaching that of an angel, which also shows how much that 'Patriarch' valued him.

It was precisely because this seal was powerful enough that the sect leader temporarily relaxed his vigilance towards him.

If He Ao wanted to use other methods to retrieve the 'offspring' sealed inside and take back the Eye of Elimination from the offspring's body, it would probably be very difficult.

At this point, the offspring's special ability comes into play: through self-sacrifice, they send the extraordinary items that form the basis of themselves back to the 'mother'.

The basic item that makes up this offspring is the 'Eye of Elimination'.

Since this is the offspring of 'Ilo', the Eye of Elimination naturally returned to 'Ilo's' hands.

Although He Ao's own strength is at most B-level, this youthful version of the 'offspring' ability comes from the God of War, which is still an ability belonging to a god.

This level of 'sealing' is still insufficient to stop the gods' 'sacrifice'.

Of course, before the 'sacrifice,' he symbolically struck the seal to show that the person was still inside.

Suppressing his thoughts for the moment, He Ao touched his chest.

When he used the 'usurper god', what he did was not just to create an 'offspring'.

How far are we from our goal?

The shadowy figure at the helm looked at He Ao.

As the ship continued forward, the waves at sea grew larger and larger.

The entire cab began to sway uncontrollably up and down.

The shadowy figure is Captain 'Nissen', whom Heo rescued from the Eternal Kingdom. Alice's power sculpted his body, allowing him to easily control the ship.

For the first half of the journey, with the correct nautical charts available, it was Heo and Eve who steered the ship.

However, the latter half of the route lacks a nautical chart, and the stormy seas are far more turbulent than the first half, requiring an experienced captain to steer the ship.

So

The moment Alice no longer needed to protect the little boy, Heo had Alice come to find the original body.

Thanks to her special connection with Heo, she could easily locate Heo's physical location and returned to Heo's side in a very short time, summoning Captain Nissen to help Heo sail the ship.

"It should be soon."

He Ao stared at the dark sea ahead, glanced up at the golden pendant hanging above his head, put away the Eye of Elimination in his hand, took out a golden brooch in the shape of light inlaid with various gems, and quickly said, "Continue forward in this direction."

The golden pendant of the Eternal Secret Sect can repel monsters in the Storm Sea to a certain extent, which is why they have not been attacked by sea monsters during this period.

"it is good!"

Nissen laughed loudly and steered the ship forward.

boom--

Just then, a huge, wet tentacle emerged from the dark sea, brushing against the small boat bobbing on the water, causing the entire vessel to rock violently.

A huge head, resembling a human skull, emerged from the seawater, its cold, empty eyes staring at the tiny ship before it.

Countless tentacles extended from beneath the small boat, rising upwards and completely obscuring everything around it.

"Am I going in the wrong direction?"

Nissen stared at the enormous sea monster and said, his voice trembling slightly.

"No, we've arrived."

He glanced at the mist behind the monster, then opened the driver's cab door and stepped out of the swaying cab.

boom--

The howling wind whipped up the dark clouds in the sky, and flashing lightning illuminated the space between the sky and the sea.

A huge wave crashed against the bow of the ship, the raging seawater like a sky-covering barrier, threatening to shatter the drifting vessel.

In that instant, a dazzling sword light streaked across the sky, severing the tentacles hidden in the waves. The slender boy passed through the raging waves, like a streak of light rushing towards the sky amidst the falling seawater.

It rushed toward that towering head, tens of meters in diameter and as massive as a mountain.

The enormous head stared at the boy before it, opened its mouth, and let out a sharp howl, seemingly mocking the boy's overestimation of his abilities.

A howling wind chased after the boy, and flying tentacles blotted out the sky.

The flashing lightning played a symphony in the sky, and the drifting seawater extended the trajectory of the sword.

A pure white sword light pierced down from above, penetrating the enormous head and slicing open its twisted face.

As layers of thick flesh were exposed beneath the sky, the terrifying sea monster maintained its mocking expression, slowly losing its life force.

Tentacles fell from the sky, their enormous bodies bobbing like floating bubbles in the raging waves.

boom--

The thunder roared once more, accompanied by the 'Thunder Tree' that filled the sky with lightning and light, and then a torrential downpour of raindrops.

The gale blew the rain down at an angle, and between the gale and the rain, a misty sea fog drifted from behind the dead monster.

Wrapped in a red scarf, the tiny boy stood atop the giant's corpse, which floated like a mountain, amidst thunder and storm, raising his left hand high.

The slanting downpour lashed against his pale cheeks, and the thick fog almost swallowed his body.

He gripped the brooch in his hand, the gem set in gold shimmering with an eerie light in the thick, misty fog.

He stared into the thick fog before him and shouted,

"Atmorye!"

boom--

The thunder roared and once again illuminated the sky.

Beyond the infinite expanse of time and space, a vast gaze swept across this ocean, traversing the boundaries of time and space.

A dazzling orange-gold radiance burst forth from the gold brooch, like a sharp sword piercing through the thick clouds.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light descended from the thick clouds, piercing through the dense fog over the sea.

After a brief silence, an even more dazzling light shone from the thick fog, and endless light dispelled the fog in an instant.

As the thick fog dissipated, a magnificent, towering golden city gradually emerged from the endless mist.

Standing atop the swaying ship, Nissen stared blankly at the back of the boy standing atop a mountain of flesh and blood, his arm raised high, and the endless, sky-covering golden city slowly emerging before him.

"Eternal Divine Kingdom..."

Something came up and I got a little late because I wrote too much.
