Chapter 676: Demigod Level, Lost Divinity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day…

When many players logged into the game early in the morning, they were bombarded with the news of three Fallen Angels members finally stepping over the tortuous Tier 5 threshold, officially gaining the title of Demigod Champion.

On the Level Leaderboard…

Closely behind Sinistress from the Demon Faction was Qin Ruo, Homme Fatale, and Black Rock respectively.

Hot on their trail were the Champions, all of whom bore the insignia of the Fallen Angels League. Their names formed a long and conspicuous list that could make people fall off their chair just by looking at it. The rush toward Demigod Tier was real and palpable!

The competition between the Demon Faction and Angel Faction at the Tier 6 stage…

Had hit a critical moment when these three people muscled their way into Tier 6.

***

However, while the general public was still speculating about what would happen to Divinity after reaching Tier 6, little did they know that the top two to top four highest level players had joined forces and taken a trip to the outpost in the extra-dimensional space of Winter Demesne.

“Sh*t, Rock, what are you up to this time?”

Homme Fatale was speechless when he found himself surrounded by his fellow brothers and sisters from the Fallen Angels who had been summoned by Black Rock at the last minute. He felt like they were monkeys in a zoo surrounded by curious tourists.

“It’ll be over soon. Please bear with me.”

Without catching a breath, Black Rock shouted in the League Channel again, warning that those who failed to make it there within thirty seconds would miss the opportunity to witness a historical moment.

Although Qin Ruo did not know what was up Black Rock’s sleeve, he recalled what Black Rock told him before they reached Tier 6 when he saw the crowded Resurrection Portal. Soon, he figured out the point of the meeting. Looking at the excited members of the Five Great Clans, his heart started to calm down.

Hustle and bustle were not Homme Fatale’s cup of tea, however…

He felt uneasy, especially when he was in the spotlight and surrounded by so many fangirls.

It was only after Qin Ruo had given him a clue on what might be going on that he finally dropped his guard…

So all the commotion was to celebrate achieving Divinity.

Was it to raise everybody’s awareness?

Apparently…

Black Rock was growing more mature as the Field Commander. He was no longer the impetuous man he was once. Now, he would put the brethren of his League first when he made any decision.

Homme Fatale too…

If it had been during the old times in Bauhinia League, put him in the same situation and he would have left at once without batting an eye!

***

Time flew by. Ten minutes had passed since then. Violet Orchid and Dinosaurcerer even dropped by to help maintain order at the outpost—any area beyond the Resurrection Portal was as crowded as a beehive.

“Fellow winged siblings! Let’s fly!”

“The Chimera Legion too! And those with Aerial-type Pets! All Aeromancers! Don’t just stand there! Rise! Let the brothers at the back who are incapable of flight get a better view.”

“Ladies to the front. Gentlemen and those with Pets, stay at the back.”

Very soon, tens of thousands of online members from the Five Great Clans surrounded the Resurrection Portal like ants around melted candy. From short to tall, the crowd extended to the horizon.

Under the witness of tens of thousands, Qin Ruo, Homme Fatale and Black Rock who were seated in the middle of Resurrection Portal noded…

“Let the party begin.”

“Okay.”

***

Divinity fusion! Discovering the full power of Divinity! This was what every player who dreamt of Demigod Tier had to go through, regardless of whether they had already experienced it prior to reaching Tier 6.

For those who achieved Divinity at Tier 5 using unconventional methods, a condition dubbed by many as “Lost Divinity” would occur once they advanced to the next tier.

That was exactly what was happening to Qin Ruo, Homme Fatale, and Black Rock in that very moment.

Beams of blue, purple and black light emanated from their bodies, corresponding to their Elementalism. They radiated with majestic power. Tiny particles gathered above their heads at the speed of light and materialized into crystalline, circular diamond-shaped Mana Cores—Divinity crystals.

All the members of the Fallen Angels on the scene were entranced by the bright eye-catching lights.

The process of Divinity fusion among Tier 6 players had never been seen before, not to mention a full display by three Demigod players all at once.

It was such an amazing feat! Only the Fallen Angels League was capable of achieving this!

But make no mistake…

The reawakening of the trio’s Divinity and the activation of the Divinity fusion process were merely appetizers.

As the Divinity above their head evaporated, an even greater power suddenly emerged from within their body!

Their original Elemental Power immediately surged through their every muscle and vein, flowing toward their upper bodies in the form of shining light…

The next moment, the trio’s Elemental Energy began to change in nature!

***

Qin Ruo followed the system’s instructions step by step. He felt his body pulsate with a mighty Elemental Energy. He had never experienced anything as powerful as that before. The Elemental Energy accumulated and solidified rapidly. The incessantly growing and unending stream of Elemental Energy put him in a state of euphoria, yet at the same time, he felt like he was about to explode with even greater power!

Divinity separating!

Divinity rebirthing!

Water Element Divinity! Compatible!

Select, Skip… Direct fusion with Natural Divinity!

Divinity attribute developing!

Please select: Raise 600 points of Maximum HP or raise 200 points of Maximum MP!

Qin Ruo paused for a second. He was taken aback when he discovered that the attribute development of Divinity was still in old school choice-based format. And to his disappointment, the selections did not live up to his expectations.

Qin Ruo slightly sighed. The choice was a no-brainer to him—he chose the former.

At the moment, his maximum MP had hit the range of 530. Besides, with the Eye of Galbis and Mana Drain in his arsenal, a higher Maximum MP would really serve him no purpose.

On the other hand, a higher Maximum HP would be useful. It would boost his two thousand plus HP to the boundary of three thousand. A HP bar that huge was comparable to that of a decent Tier 5 Warrior.

Phase One: Divinity attribute fixed. Maximum HP permanently raised by 600 points!

Elementalist Class, Intelligence permanently raised by 20 points!

Water-type Divinity attribute detected. Activating Water-type potential bonus…

Please select: Raise Water-type Magic Damage by 2.5% or raise Water-type Magic Defense by 5% or raise Water-type Negative Magic Resistance by 10%!

As he listened intently to the options, Qin Ruo let out another deep sigh. Within seconds, he made his decision. But rather than feel excited about his new 2.5% Magic Damage boost, he frowned. He could not help stealing a glance at his peers on either side of him.

Similarly, the Divinity Homme Fatale chose to fuse with matched his natural Elemental Energy—Thunder. So naturally, he skipped the selection for Divinity Element as well.

Just as expected!

Noticing Qin Ruo’s concerned look, Homme Fatale responded with a nod before he turned his head to Black Rock with a stern face. Indeed, Black Rock was the only one who had deviated from the rest. As a Terramancer, he was mulling about branching into Dark Elementalism!

***

Black Rock wasted no time announcing the system’s tips in the League Channel along with the available options.

His selection had stopped on the previous page.

He was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, switching to Dark Divinity could unlock the power of Dark Elementalism, allowing him to enjoy the best of both worlds; on the other hand, sticking to his original Divinity would be playing it safe as a jack of all trades but a master of none.

For that, the system provided additional choices for Divinity power.

The choices confirmed Qin Ruo and Homme Fatale’s worry.

Sure enough!

Fusing with Natural Divinity was not necessarily a good thing.

Each player who got this far would be given a chance to change their Divinity or fuse with their original Divinity…

They could take their damage output to the next level.

But one thing did not go unnoticed by Qin Ruo…

The increase in Magic Resistance and Defense bonuses far exceeded that of Attack’s—it was double the rate!

The Magic Damage of 2.5% was negligible from the perspective of Demigod players. Even though it was useful, in the situation of PVP battles, they would pale in comparison to Champions who favored Magic Resistance and Defense.

Five percent of Defense and ten percent of Negative Element Resistance…

Qin Ruo secretly hoped that everyone would at least favor the Elemental Attack bonus. That way, less players would likely raise their Water Elemental Defense, which would in turn reduce the damage that Qin Ruo could dish out on them. Imagine, if there were more players with playstyles like Judge’s, his Water Magic Spells would not even scratch them!

One could say that…

The development of Demigod Divinity power could level the playing field by preventing certain players from being too overpowered!

“Hey, quit knitting your brows! What do you say? Should I pick the Dark Divinity or my Divinity?”

Black Rock was no fool. As one of the top players, he soon thought about his situation. Indecisive, he asked for Qin Ruo and Homme Fatale’s opinions.

“You’re thinking Dark Elemental Defense or Earth Elemental Attack, which one’s better, right?”

“Smart,” Black Rock replied Homme Fatale with a smile.

“If I were you, I would pick Dark Elemental Defense—”

“But you don’t need it. The Grand Reaper’s defensive capabilities are already more than enough. You’ll do fine by just focusing on offense…” Qin Ruo cut in.

“True!” Homme Fatale said.

In the end, all of them chose to raise their offensive capabilities for different personal reasons…

With that, each of them received an extra piece of Divinity crystal. The Lost Divinity that separated from their body would definitely not disappear into thin air.

Qin Ruo handed his Divinity crystal over to Violet Orchid.

“Please sell these Divinity crystals to any of our brethren with a high Contribution Level at a low price. Oh, and Sister Violet, please help shed some light on the intricate process of Divinity fusion and the issue of Element selection to them…”

“Consider it done,” Violet Orchid replied, nodding slightly. “What about you? Are you planning to return to Moonrise City now?”

“Yes, I’ve been waiting for an eternity for this. It’s time to claim the Equipment and Skill Manuals from the Warrior of Endless Battle!”

Qin Ruo’s heart was burning with passion. He could not wait to lay his hands on Demigod Grade Equipment and Tier 6 Skill Manuals. Just thinking about it filled him with energy.

Several hours ago after reaching Tier 6, Homme Fatale had already demonstrated Thunderbird and mastered his Tier 6 spell.

Unbelievably, the Tier 6 Thunderbird spell could be used as a close combat weapon after a Thunderbird Sword was formed! In addition, it could be cast along with other offensive spells.

Such formidable power could instantly break any shield. No experienced Champion Elementalist could stand against it, not even Qin Ruo! Its terrifying power and versatile battle capabilities would make anyone on the receiving end flinch.

A single Tier 6 spell had transformed Homme Fatale into a killing machine…

It stood to reason that Qin Ruo was hyped up for a Tier 6 Magic Spell he could trade for the Golden Battle Flag!
