X Academy, third floor lounge.

Because he had consumed too much energy to condense the demon seed not long ago, Xu Yue slept in the room for about two whole days before he woke up slowly. At the same time, the tingling in his brain finally subsided for the most part.

When a demon is in the process of gestation, it will extract the body's tiny soul energy as the basis for its existence, so its intelligence attribute will be permanently reduced only after the gestation is over.

Similarly, this is also the fundamental reason why he can perfectly harvest and absorb the monster after it matures. In a sense, the demon seed is a fragment of his soul, and the two are of the same origin.

Therefore, every time a demon seed is condensed, it will cause considerable trauma on the spiritual level. It is because Xu Yue has a special physique that combines spirit and flesh, and the spiritual healing effect of the Radiance of Life that he can recover basically in just two days.

After taking a sip of the fragrant sweet tea with a small amount of royal jelly added, Xu Yue, who was now sitting at the desk, slowly withdrew his gaze from the park prompt in front of him. After experiencing the Devil's Island, his early plans had basically been successfully completed.

The X-Men, who should have been seriously damaged in the original timeline, successfully avoided the tragic ending of most of their main forces being killed or injured due to his participation. Instead of declining, they became the strongest force second only to the human government.

Now, Jimmy the Antidote, the best "weapon" against mutant special attacks, has become one of the many students in the academy, and the other two major forces of mutants, the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Hellfire Club, have also secretly reached a deep cooperative relationship with the academy. Together with Hank the Beast, who has just taken office as the UN ambassador, it can be said that he has initially integrated the entire mutant community into one.

Whether it's the Brotherhood that advocates armed resistance, or the X Academy that promotes educational inclusion, or the Hellfire that is preparing to quietly erode control from the capital level, or the Ministry of Affairs that occupies a certain position in the government class, under Xu Yue's connection, these forces have jointly built an implicit tacit understanding.

As long as the time is ripe, under the leadership of the four leaders, Magneto, Professor X, the White Queen, and Hank the Beast, this force covering armed forces, education, economy, politics and other aspects will be able to play an unpredictable role at the critical moment.

As for the friendly attitude shown by the federal government today, just wait and see. On the one hand, this gesture is to fulfill the promise made before the Battle of Alcatraz, and on the other hand, it is because the mutant side showed too much excessive combat power in the battle, so the government needs to temporarily ease the conflict and stabilize emotions after the defeat. This is just a stopgap measure.

He was sure that in corners that the professor could not observe, combat meetings on how to suppress or even directly destroy the mutant community had been held countless times.

How can we allow others to snore beside our bed? Human beings are destined not to allow a second force to rise up and challenge their position as the overlord of the food chain. This has nothing to do with morality, it is just naked survival.

Therefore, he must launch the follow-up plan before the other party takes action, and create a mutant god for the human side who almost rules the entire world. If the brief appearance of the phoenix only frightens humans, the brutal god who will come next will make them realize what despair is.

And when everything is settled, that will be the best time for mutants to become independent.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard in the room, interrupting Xu Yue's turbulent thoughts.

He restrained the dim light in his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a blood-red vortex suspended in the void, and below it a large number of equipment and props piled up into a hill, with white, green, blue and purple lights flickering endlessly.

At the top of the hill, the auspicious beast, the manta ray, was soaring above with its nimble wings flapping. Noticing the gaze of its master, it blinked and glanced guiltily at the blue equipment that had rolled all the way from the top of the hill to Xu Yue's feet. Then, after an innocent chirp, it quickly turned around and dived into the bloody vortex behind it.

"Ah!"

Looking at the azure fish tail disappearing into the whirlpool, Xu Yue chuckled, and the gloomy murderous aura lingering around him slowly dissipated. He lowered his eyes to look at the equipment props piled up on the ground, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he couldn't help but reveal a bit of delight.

In this battle on Devil's Island, he gained much more than just the Origin of the World and a breakthrough in the main quest. In addition, there were five treasure chests and double-digit scarlet cards, most of which were quietly picked up by Taotie on the battlefield using his shadow jumping ability.

There was no rush to deal with the treasure chests, and after Scarlet woke up, he handed them all to Wen Yu for extraction. After the previous experience of opening Scarlet's cards, he had deeply realized the value of the two words "auspicious beast" of the other party.

And now it seems that Wen Yu's performance is still stable.

The current scarlet card has not been fully opened, but there are already many items piled on the floor, more than half of which are various equipment. Ordinary items without quality gloss are estimated to be around 30%. This kind of luck is already quite exaggerated.

Although most of the transferred reserves are white and green, they can all play a role for him. At worst, he can just crush them and use them as raw materials for magic dust.

Standing up and walking to the pile of equipment, Xu Yue first picked out the ordinary items and threw them aside casually, especially the several bottles of shampoo that looked particularly eye-catching.

Then he sorted the quality from low to high and roughly scanned all the equipment and props in front of him one by one. After checking all the items, more than ten minutes had passed.

In general, although most of them were ordinary items, there were still a few surprises. In addition to the recovery potions and food, which he never had too much of, two pieces of equipment attracted his attention the most.

...............

Looking at the rough-shaped ox-horn helmet in his hand, he did not hesitate, but put it on his head directly. This helmet was the highest-rated piece of equipment. As the helmet was put on, his vision was soon covered with a faint blood color. At the same time, a manic fighting spirit suddenly exploded from his heart, and a faint white gas was exhaled during his breath. Even though the blood rage effect was not activated, the blood-colored vision in front of him still made him feel like wreaking havoc in the room.

The effect was immediate, but unfortunately it was not suitable for him. He was insensitive to any equipment or skills that would affect his sanity. In his opinion, only power that could be controlled could be considered his own power.

Compared to him, this thing is more suitable for Logan or the group of berserkers in Paradise City. Anyway, when the battle is in full swing, they don't really need reason, which is a rather troublesome thing.

But no matter what, the value of this bull-horned helmet is unquestionable. The excellent equipment effect is fully worthy of the equipment score of 149, and it is only a millimeter away from the purple full-score equipment.

As long as it is paired with a suitable weapon soul, he can easily upgrade this equipment to a dark purple soul-fusion equipment, and its specific value can be multiplied several times by then.

However, compared to forging and selling, he now has a more suitable way to deal with this equipment.

Restraining the fanatical fighting spirit in his heart, Xu Yue's mind moved, and then a gurgling silver solution automatically flowed out of his body, slowly and completely wrapping the bull-horn helmet on his head.

After a moment, the helmet was assimilated by the solution and seeped into the body, and the familiar paradise prompt sound rang in his ears.

[Blade combination completed, the current number of blades combined is (8/8): Fang Tian Hua Ji, Chi Yu (Wuliang Zen Pearl), Demon Knife Thousand Blades, Earth Tower Shield, Xiaoyun Bow, Magic Mirror, Blood Rage Battle. ]

Feeling the addition of another piece of equipment in the blade space in his body, Xu Yue stretched out his right hand, and as the silver liquid squirmed, the rough ox-horn helmet soon reappeared in his hand.

Looking down at the helmet in his hand, Xu Yue's eyes did not have the previous joy, but only a hint of indifference.

"Kakaka..."

Suddenly, as his five fingers slowly tightened, the sound of metal breaking echoed quietly in the room, and dense cracks began to spread rapidly from the top of the helmet to the outside.

The next second, there was a dull bang, and the helmet was crushed into countless silver-white light spots that floated away, and in the blink of an eye, they all flowed into his mouth and nose and were swallowed up.

[Blade LV.20 Additional ability: Eater Blade]

Food Blade: It can turn the combined blade weapons taken into the body into food. The essence obtained after swallowing can be used to improve the level of the 'joined blade', and can also be used to strengthen other combined blade weapons. After strengthening to a certain level, the weapon can be Get a quality jump.

Tip: When converting a combined blade weapon into a resource, its characteristics can be fully extracted at the expense of reducing the quality of the essence.

Tip: The extracted permanent characteristics can be permanently integrated into other equipment through forging techniques. The characteristics have certain requirements on the material of the equipment itself. The integration of characteristics will cause permanent changes to the equipment. Conflicts in characteristics or excessive stacking can cause damage to the equipment.

…………

[Blood Rage Berserker Eats Blades Completed, Current Combined Blades Count Reduced to (7/8), Combined Blade Level Improving...]

[The combined blade has been upgraded to LV.21]

[The combined blade has been upgraded to LV.22]

…………

"An item that is close to the full purple rating can only be upgraded by two levels. It is a real money-eating beast. However, compared to consuming soul crystals to upgrade, this method is indeed more practical, and... it seems to be more effective."

He opened his slightly closed eyes, and according to his perception, after swallowing the ox-horn helmet, not only did the level of the combined blade rise by two levels, but the other combined blade weapons also gained considerable benefits. With a slight vibration, it seemed that their spirituality had increased slightly.

"Uh, I don't think he was scared..."

After stroking his chin where a thin stubble had already appeared, Xu Yue immediately put the thought behind him. He leaned over and pulled out another piece of equipment from the pile of equipment at his feet. It was a light sniper rifle with a dark green luster.

【Death Report】

Origin: Full-time Hunter

Quality: green

Category: Light sniper rifle
Durability: 20/20
Attack power: 10~18
Equipment requirements: Intelligence 14

Summary: Obstacles? No! All I see before me is a smooth road. This will be the death knell. In despair, I will welcome the unavoidable death!
Price: 4900 paradise coins.

.........

This piece of equipment seemed particularly shabby compared to the previous [Blood Rage]. Even though it was a green full-score equipment, its quality could only be considered lower-middle level among the many replacement items on the floor.

Especially since the attack power has not even reached 20 points, even if this sniper rifle can hit the target's head, the damage it causes is quite limited to a second-level contractor.

The only thing that caught Xu Yue's attention was its special equipment effect, which was comparable to a padlock. Thanks to this special ability, this sniper rifle with questionable attack power could be raised to the level of a full green score.

To other people, this [Death Notice] is completely useless, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away, but to Xu Yue, it is the biggest gain among many equipments.

As long as the unique equipment effect of the Food Blade is extracted, its value can undergo earth-shaking changes whether it is attached to other high-quality sniper equipment or used to strengthen the Howling Cloud Longbow.

This is the most abnormal aspect of Shokuren's ability. If he is given enough samples, he can create almost countless divine weapons.

As the silver solution squirmed, the light sniper rifle in his hand soon disappeared, and what appeared in his hand was actually a dark green crystal with a small skull inside that was rising and falling.

[Death Crystal]

Quality: Special

Type: Permanent Properties

Introduction: Using special techniques, this feature can be permanently embedded into a piece of equipment, giving it a specific equipment effect.

Tip: Conflicts between characteristics and equipment may render their effects unusable, or even cause serious damage to the equipment itself.
