Chapter 1277: Old Strengthening System (Shin Megami Tensei V Completed)

When Duanmu Huai climbed out of the sea covered with water plants, his entire face was black.

"Damn it, next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will just set the sea on fire!!"

It was a piece of cake for Duanmu Huai to kill N'Zoth, mainly because the place where this disgusting thing was sealed was too disgusting.

It happens to be in the deep sea!

This made Duanmu Huai very helpless. If it was an ordinary planet, he would directly use whirlwind torpedoes to ignite the planet, completely evaporate the ocean, and then slowly fly over.

Unfortunately, we can’t do this in Azeroth, there are still people living here.

So Duanmu Huai had to sink down by himself.

After great efforts, Duanmu Huai finally found the seal location of N'Zoth, then absorbed the remaining power of this ancient god, and turned away amid the latter's unwilling wails.

“Huh… Although it took some time, I finally achieved my goal.”

Back in the warship, Duanmu Huai looked at the experience progress bar in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. After absorbing the power of the three ancient gods, Duanmu Huai's [Old Ones] was directly upgraded to the 16th level of medium power, and was only one step away from the 20th level of powerful power.

Now among Duanmu Huai's four priesthoods, the experience of [God of Destruction] is basically overflowing, followed by [Old Ones], and only [God of Joy] and [Demon King of the Sixth Heaven] are relatively poor.

Since the experience of priesthood is absorbed by the essence, the divine experience of the God of Destruction cannot be used for other priests, which also gives Duanmu Huai a headache.

After absorbing these three ancient gods, Duanmu Huai also obtained the three special ancient god functions of [Thousand Eyes], [Thousand Throats] and [Thousand Beards] respectively.

As he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Great Old Ones, Duanmu Huai also gained a certain understanding of this priesthood. The most powerful aspect of the Great Old Ones is not how strong its attack power is, but its interference with the dimensional space.

Generally speaking, only higher dimensions can affect lower dimensions, and vice versa, lower dimensions cannot affect higher dimensions. Just like a two-dimensional beautiful girl can never really marry a three-dimensional human, even if she likes you, she can only express her love to you through the screen, but can never come to you... Ahem, it hurts.

And the Old Ones - or all the Outer Gods - seem to be born with the ability to interfere with all dimensions, no matter how high or low.

This is also why in the game StarCraft, when the main quest "Ether Engine" is completed, the subspace is broken to allow energy to spread throughout the galaxy, and all human races are forcibly "ascended" into subspace creatures, the expansion pack BOSS set in the game will be an alien god outside the galaxy.

Because they are in the real space, they can interfere with other dimensions at will!

In fact, many players have great opinions about the subsequent version of Star Ocean. The reason is very simple. When dealing with the Chaos God in the first main mission, the player as a human being is in the material world, so he must break the barrier of reality and go to the subspace to confront the Chaos God head-on.

Now, I've finally ascended to the subspace, and you've created something that can do whatever it wants in real space. As a result, we now have to find a way to break the barrier between the subspace and reality again and go to the real world to fight the Outer Gods and their offspring?

Aren't you just transferring the money from your left hand to your right hand?

Of course, no matter what the players say, the game production company of Star Ocean never says a word, and has an attitude of "play if you want, play if you don't, get out if you don't", which makes everyone very angry.

But you still have to play.

  So angry!

Let’s get back to the topic.

Duanmu Huai tried out the three skills, how should I put it... I felt like I suffered from my lack of education.

[Thousand Eyes] has two abilities. One is that it can observe a certain existence from different dimensions at the same time. Strictly speaking, this ability is very useful. For example, for something like an illusion, no matter how cleverly it is made, Duanmu Huai can see through its true form at a glance through the dimensional suppression.

Of course, this is only a small part. Its real ability lies in observing the essence through phenomena, such as the core of magic or the true elements of a system.

For example, QB's original magical girl system. If Duanmu Huai possessed the [Thousand Eyes], then he would be able to see the entire system without An's help... Well, that's impossible.

The reason is simple: we are still uneducated.

Let’s put it this way, although [Thousand Eyes] and Mary’s [Golden Eyes] are very similar, there are still differences.

Mary's [Golden Eyes] gives the answer directly and then (omit) the process.

Duanmu Huai's [Thousand Eyes] gives the process, and then you have to figure out the answer yourself.

  However, Duanmu Huai said, "I'm just a child and I don't understand what you are doing!"

It’s like an elementary school student studying calculus. Even if you write down the formulas and put them in front of him and ask him to follow the steps to find the final answer, he will still be confused.

I don't understand, I don't understand at all. If I don't understand, I don't understand. Even if you point at my nose and teach me step by step, I still won't understand.

Therefore, this ability might be very useful to big guys like An or Xue Li who have made progress in magic or scientific theory, but for a reckless man like Duanmu Huai, it is a sheer waste of talent.

Compared to this more troublesome ability, another ability of [Thousand Eyes] is more favored by Duanmu Huai.

To put it simply, this ability is very simple. Duanmu Huai can set countless coordinates and then set his [eyes] at those places. If anything happens, Duanmu Huai can switch seamlessly and see what happened there at the first time.

This is like a large surveillance platform. Duanmu Huai can watch girls from other worlds bathing while picking his feet, and when the alarm comes, he can switch the screen to see which world is threatened and what kind of threat it is…

In Duanmu Huai's opinion, this ability is what he needs most. Because it is sealed, C'Thun's Thousand Eyes can only cover a small area, but Duanmu Huai is different. As a god across galaxies, he can put an eye in all places where the Tribunal has left its mark. Duanmu Huai can even throw some [Eyes] into space to float around and see if they can stumble upon something interesting.

It’s just like opening a blind box, it might be quite interesting.

Next is [Thousand Roars]. This ability is the same as [Thousand Eyes]. It can communicate with other people regardless of distance. This ability is also very useful for Duanmu Huai. Although soul cards like An and Lorena can communicate directly, followers like Mary and Lumiel cannot communicate regardless of space. Now with this ability, even if Duanmu Huai is not around, they can report to Duanmu Huai anytime and anywhere. People like Aikot don't have to report to Duanmu Huai through other cards every time.

However, compared to this, Duanmu Huai is very interested in another ability of [Thousand Roars].

Just as [Thousand Eyes] can observe something from different dimensions, [Thousand Roars] can also transmit sounds from different dimensions to a target at the same time.

Duanmu Huai tried it and was surprised to find that the sounds he made were completely different in different dimensions.

  So what is the use of this ability?

Well, it’s very simple. That is to say, if Duanmu Huai sings “ONLY YOU” to someone now, he can really drive the other person crazy.

Because the other party will instantly hear all the voices in all dimensions singing "ONLY YOU"... This is enough to cause any sane creature to suffer a mental breakdown.

Of course, this ability is more like a fun thing for Duanmu Huai. He can play with it casually, but whether he can use it when really fighting the evil god is another matter.

Well, maybe it can be used to deal with the chatterbox, the cunning one?

No matter how much he talks, he doesn't have the ability to quarrel with all dimensions at the same time.

Compared to the first two, [Thousand Beards] actually brings the smallest improvement to Duanmu Huai. The reason is very simple. Duanmu Huai is already an [Old One], and tentacles have long been his standard equipment, so this ability only enhances all of Duanmu Huai's ancient god abilities by +1. There is nothing special to say about the rest.

In fact, there are many ways to develop the abilities of the ancient gods, but Duanmu Huai is not interested in the methods that require him to use his brain. On weekdays, he prefers to swing his fists and hit them according to his intuition. It is not too late to use his brain when he encounters something that he cannot hit. After there are more people around him, Duanmu Huai throws those difficult problems that require thinking to others.

As for myself...it feels most comfortable to hit my head with a small hammer.

Just as Duanmu Huaizhi returned to the warship and took a nap with a smug look on his face, a group of dwarves were carrying out their excavation work in an archaeological site.

"Okay, guys, keep going, we're about to make it a step further!"

Brian Bronzebeard waved the pickaxe in his hand with excitement and enthusiasm on his face.

Unlike others, after returning from the Inquisition and reporting everything he knew to his brother, Brian once again began his favorite archaeological work. For Brian Bronzebeard, although the universe and the sea of ​​stars are very shocking, he still likes excavation and archaeological work the most, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

I don’t know if this trip to outer space brought Brian good luck, but he discovered a mysterious relic in the deep mountains in the desolate land.

According to Brian's inference, this relic is older than all the relics he had excavated before. Although this conclusion is a bit unbelievable, Brian has become very interested in this relic.

The ruins are located in a cave, and its door is made of unknown metal. These metals were once very strong, but after a long time, they have long been dilapidated and buried by collapsed rocks. Fortunately, as a dwarf, Brian is very good at digging holes. He is now cleaning the ruins with his assistants to try to see what good things are inside.

"Hey, Brian, over here!!"

As Brian was digging desperately, another dwarf next to him suddenly shouted, and Brian hurried over. He saw that the other dwarves were clearing a wall from the ruins next to them, with patterns and words on it.

"This is the troll's writing, let me see it."

Seeing this scene, Brian Bronzebeard's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked forward and began to translate word by word.

"…We had to flee from the shadow of Azshara. As the Bonebreaker clan, our fate has come to an end. We thought our fate could not be more tragic, but in fact we were wrong…"

"Bonebreaker clan?"

Brian was stunned when he read this.

"You've never heard of this troll clan?"

"It talks about Azshara, the period of the High Elf Kingdom, right?"

"That was more than ten thousand years ago..."

Everyone was talking about it, but their men did not stop and continued to clean up the ruins. Soon, the rear part also emerged.

"…We don't know where those guys came from. They came from the sky and occupied our holy land. This kind of blasphemous behavior must not be tolerated. We launched an attack on them, but our action failed. Their strength is unimaginably strong. Most of the tribesmen were killed, and the rest stayed here and did things according to their instructions…"

"…These guys talk in a language we can't understand, but I have learned some of their language. These people have fled here. They seem to be chased by some terrible existence, so they came here in hiding. They are talking about hiding something and coming back to get it later. This is our chance! They want to use us to seal the holy land, and we will not sit idly by. We have decided that we will take action when these guys are performing the ritual and completely seal them in the holy land. We want to avenge our dead compatriots! As for that thing…"

The writing here was a little blurry, so Brian Bronzebeard touched and rubbed it again. After a long time, the words engraved on the wall behind were finally revealed.

Looking at the words in front of him, Brian touched his beard in confusion.

"What is this? A transcriber?"
