Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The five halos were divided equally between Bochum and Alpha.

Charles was not satisfied: "What happened to the promised ten-ring War God?"

Charles stared at the 12 refresh attempts remaining...

"Once the skills are assigned, I can't use them myself, so I might as well keep grinding..."

With an all-in mentality, Sharl once again began searching for skills suitable for Pochi and Alpha.

The vortex of chaos spun several times...

In a skill set with negative effects, such as: [Open Up], [No Pain Before Reward], [Adventure], and [Martyr].

With 5 refresh attempts remaining, Sharl drew several abilities that were very suitable for Pochi and Alpha.

Equipment Slots: [Nether Guardian], [Black Dragon Scale], [Reversed Spirit Veil *7] (stackable), [Shield of Aquis: Ball Lightning], [ ], [ ]

……

Charles clicked his tongue in amazement: "I remember, Pochi at level 4 could also learn a crushing strike ability, right? One hand entangles, the other stuns, plus nine rings, tsk tsk, you also have the potential of a god-king."

Pochi stuck out its tongue and scratched its face with its hind legs. Under its feet were eight auras: gray, white, green, blue, purple, gold, dark gold, and red. Including the monster deterrence provided by the [Black Dragon Scales] and the two auras on Alpha's body, there were a total of eight auras.

"Hey, Pochi. Why did you turn into the color that symbolizes equipment rarity?" Charles chuckled, ruffling Pochi's head.

"It seems that we are still one rainbow myth away from the title realm."

Charles played with Poch for a while, his gaze fixed intently on him:

"Hey, once all nine rings are gathered, can you break through the 100,000-year shackles and transform into a pink-haired beauty with ears that loves playing guitar?"

Charles thought to himself, filled with hopeful anticipation.

……

A week later,

Fels unexpectedly filled the last gap in Poch's aura.

She handed over a black cloak that looked somewhat familiar to Charles, and said casually:

"It is a precious material that absorbed the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone. Although it is a failed creation, it contains a terrifying evil power."

"I borrowed the technology from the [Nether Guardian] to make them resonate with each other, so that they also have the effect of amplifying nearby friendly units."

Charles leaned back strategically: "This...this isn't the black robe I got from my goblin grandfather? How is it related to the Philosopher's Stone?"

Fels blushed slightly: "Although I don't know how it fell into the hands of the goblins, it is indeed a byproduct of my immortality experiment."

"An experiment on immortality... wouldn't that mean..." Charles felt a chill run down his spine.

Fels covered his mouth, wiggled his thin buttocks, and said shyly, "Yes, it was my flesh and blood... If I had to say, you were the first man to enter my body."

Charles's eyes widened.

Fels: "What's wrong? You're excited about the news? Wow, just like a teenage boy."

"I don't want to enter your body in this weird way!"

"And what are you being so shy about! Who gets excited just because they're wearing a cloak?!" Ciel shouted in disbelief.

"Ahem..." Fels coughed, then got back to the main point:

"Let's call it 'The Remains of a Sage' for now."

"It originally possessed the effects of 'curse resistance,' 'slow healing,' 'slow regeneration,' and 'slow purification.'"

"After the second upgrade, the curse effect of the degraded 'Philosopher's Stone' was activated, granting the user a very valuable life-stealing effect."

Fels gave a wicked smile: "Yes, that's right. It can strip away the flesh and blood of its opponent, turning it into pure life force to restore itself."

"Furthermore, this effect can be shared with friendly forces within a certain range!"

A piece of equipment with four or five terrifying amplifications, each very slight but comprehensive.

Shar thought of a similar Dota item, Vladimir's Sacrifice.

As multiple amplifications enveloped the Charr, a colorful halo suddenly appeared on the ground...

"This is my first 'work' since my ascension to godhood!" Fels chuckled maliciously. "See? I'm one step closer to replicating the Philosopher's Stone!"

Shal was a little annoyed by what Fels said, so he casually tossed the [Sage's Remains] to Pochi and put it in his equipment slot.

Charles poured cold water on Fels's ambitions:

"Um, do you still have any materials to craft the Philosopher's Stone?"

“Hehehe... Ga—” Fels’ laughter came to an abrupt halt.

The materials for crafting the Philosopher's Stone are extremely rare, requiring people to travel all over the world to collect them. Achieving eternal life seems to be an incredibly expensive endeavor.

Charles crouched down and patted Fels' little shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you'll get the 'Ancient Dragon Yellow,' the 'Bottom Star Silver,' and the 'Scorched Earth Crystal of the Foolish Fire Alps.'"

"Waaaaah... Boss, let's sell the artificial maze. That way we can raise the funds to commission the 'school district' to collect supplies."

Fels suddenly became excited: "You don't want to be separated from Alfia by death because of the age gap, do you? With the Philosopher's Stone, eternal life is within your grasp!"

Charles thought for a moment: "That's true. Although the Black Dragon is the ultimate goal in the short term, 'immortality' is also something I pursue."

“In that case…” Fels rubbed his small hands together, his purple eyes gleaming, and revealed a fawning smile.

"Alright, I'll invest in this project. As long as the Chamber of Commerce operates smoothly, you can use Lily's profits as you see fit."

"Hehe, thanks, boss."

Charles was also very satisfied, as most of the Chamber of Commerce's profits came from Fels's small inventions.

Charles felt he hadn't lost out, and Fels also felt he had gotten a good deal from Charles, so who really lost out?

Lily, checking her weekly earnings, sneezed: Huh? Who's eyeing my Farley!

Chapter 316 How did Anya become a spy?

As the Charles accumulates strength and further strengthens its foundation.

Preparations are also underway in the city.

Over the course of four months, the Ganesha Familia discovered a total of four entrances and exits to the underground passages, forming a 'man-made labyrinth'.

They are located in the four major directions: northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest.

Apart from the completely destroyed passage, the remaining three locations are being secretly monitored day and night in an attempt to find new keys or methods to unlock them.

Ciel also informed Finn, through Astraea, about the schedules of the various dark faction chief gods that Tina had sent him, as well as the locations of their hidden strongholds in the city.

A counterattack against the secret faction is about to begin.

……

On the other side, the bountiful mistress.

"Dang Cang——"

"You brat! How many times has this happened already! Come out and serve the dishes!"

Ellen, hiding in the kitchen, once again overdid it, smashing a large stack of dirty plates and scraps, and received a merciless ultimatum from Mia's mother.

"Damn it, you stinky dwarf, who would wear such ridiculous clothes!"

He yelled, threw off the rag in his hand, took off his apron, scoffed, turned and left the kitchen, disappearing without a trace.

"You little brat, if you've got the guts, don't come back!" Mia, helplessly stirring the pot, knew Allen was determined to escape, and she couldn't possibly abandon the shop and spend a lot of time chasing after him.

As Eren blended into the night, he skillfully changed into a full-body black armor in a residential area of ​​the entertainment district. He then followed the secret entrance beneath the former Ishtar Familia's residence.
