Seeing the damage numbers floating above his troops’ heads, Li Cheng scratched his face.
It had to be said that the scene of the three Mythical-grade Great Mages self-destructing together was quite spectacular.
However, if they were still alive, they probably would have vomited blood and died after seeing his troops unscathed.
After the aftermath of the explosion, Li Cheng did not think any further. He headed to the place where the three Great Mages had disappeared. Unfortunately, the energy of the explosion was too strong, which meant that they, too, had committed suicide. Li Cheng did not even touch them. Other than the three indestructible keys, there were almost no other rewards.
“Ding, dong! You’ve successfully synthesized the Astral Cage key!”
Li Cheng took a deep breath, looked at the key in his hand, and led his troops into the depths of the space.
Ta, ta, ta…
After about 20 minutes, Li Cheng’s brows were tightly furrowed. His marching speed was definitely not slow, but after 20 minutes, the scene in front of him still did not change. It was still a flat space that stretched as far as the eye could see.
He patiently led the troops forward, and in the next moment, Li Cheng’s eyelids twitched. He even rubbed his eyes to check if he was mistaken. Not far away, a small black dot seemed to have appeared.
Seeing this, Li Cheng hurriedly led the troops over. Very quickly, he saw the situation in front of him clearly.
There was a large wooden cage that looked plain and unadorned. It seemed to be made of ordinary wood. Inside the cage, there was a little girl, curled up in a pitch-black princess dress.
Seeing this, Li Cheng did not hesitate and cast a detection spell. The little girl’s information immediately appeared in front of him.
[Goddess of Death]
[Description: ???]
[Level: ???]
[Grade: Immortal]
[HP: ???]
[Defense: ???]
[Skills: ???]
Seeing this name, Li Cheng was shocked. The little girl in front of him was the Goddess of Death?
He thought about it. In his previous life, he had never heard of this Goddess, let alone seen her.
He knew her title was very powerful even just by hearing the name. However, this position seemed to be held or hidden by countless Gods.
The Goddess of Death slowly opened her eyes. They looked obsidian, pitch-black like the darkest ink.
She stared at Li Cheng for a while. There was no expression on her delicate doll-like face. Then, her gaze fell on the cage.
Following that, a wisp of black fog with an ominous aura slowly spread out. The black fog stopped above her head and a line of words appeared.
[&#%*!]
Li Cheng was instantly dumbfounded. ‘What are you playing at?’
Then, he asked, “Are you asking me to unlock it?”
The Goddess of Death nodded her head obediently. Looking at her appearance, Li Cheng hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to unlock it.
He took out the key from his backpack and gently pulled on the groove on the cage. At the same time, the system’s voice rang in his ear.
“Ding, dong! You’ve successfully used the Astral Cage key!
“Ding, dong! You’ve completed the mission, break the seal. You’ve received the reward, the Goddess of Death’s highest blessing!
“Ding, dong…”
As the system’s voice fell, a thick fog with a strong aura of death instantly enveloped Li Cheng. Then, the thick fog dispersed as quickly as it appeared.
Li Cheng’s body did not change at all, but his hair and pupils had become as black as ink.
Hearing the system’s voice, Li Cheng was also a little dumbfounded. Was this the highest level of blessing?
It must be known that the highest level of blessing from a God was too rare. He opened the skill panel and looked at the additional information.
[The highest blessing of the Goddess of Death]
[Description: only the people closest to the Goddess of Death can enjoy the blessing.]
[Effect 1: you have the highest authority in the Church of Death. All the church troops will listen to your opinion and their loyalty points and morale will be permanently full.]
[Effect 2: as the spokesperson of the Goddess of Death, your every action in the world represents her. Other Gods may change their attitude toward you.]
[Effect 3: the souls of all your units are exempted from death. After death, you will be resurrected free of charge in any Church of Death locations.]
[Effect 4: when attacking a soul, regardless of its rank, it will be killed directly.]
[Effect 5: all your units have a 2% chance of inflicting instant death. It is ineffective against units above the Legendary grade. Against units above Legendary grade, there is a 2% chance of dealing 10% damage to their available HP. This effect can only be triggered once a day at most.]
[Hint: the strength of this skill depends on the strength of the Goddess of Death. Currently, the Goddess of Death is extremely weak.]
[Effect 6: all units below Immortal-grade cannot view any information about you, your heroes, your troops, and your territories.]
Looking at the few attributes of the blessing, Li Cheng could not help but widen his eyes. It might seem like a lot, but there was only one that actually worked. However, just one of those was an extremely ridiculous skill.
A 2% chance to instantly kill an enemy. What kind of concept was that?
This meant that all of Li Cheng’s units could instantly kill an enemy with an average of 50 hits. Although this was ineffective against Legendary bosses and above, the state of one’s army was more important in Tribe.
In the later stages of the game, regardless of whether it was the players or the empires, it was all about the quantity and quality of the army. The attack of Li Cheng’s army was extremely high, so killing an enemy would not even require 50 hits.
However, if they were to go up against the various major factions, they might encounter many complex issues. For example, the Elven Empire had at least hundreds of billions of Crown-ranked troops. Moreover, their levels were definitely at their maximum, and their equipment slots were filled with divine equipment. Their attributes might not necessarily be inferior to Li Cheng’s troops as well.
At that time, the effect of the instant death probability would be very obvious, especially for those Crown-ranked troops that were Meat Shield soldiers.
Li Cheng had been a human for two lifetimes, but he had seen the ultimate abomination that had even higher HP than a Legendary Boss!
It had to be said that this highest-level blessing was still very powerful.
Just as Li Cheng was looking through the attributes, the Goddess of Death had already walked out of the cage. She walked up to Li Cheng and tilted her little head. A cloud of black mist slowly appeared above her head.
[##? ?# #]
The corner of Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly, “Can’t you talk?”
The Goddess of Death nodded her little head, and Li Cheng suddenly did not know what to say.
She could not speak normally and could only utter some words that he could not understand. Many things could not be communicated, such as why she was locked up here, and why she knew his real name.
At this moment, the Goddess of Death took a step forward and with her cold little hand, she grabbed Li Cheng’s palm. Immediately, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong! The Goddess of Death wishes to bestow upon you a quarter of the clergy of death, the complete God of Death’s divinity, and three hundred and fifty billion God of Death’s large divine power crystals. Do you accept?
“Hint. After accepting the Goddess of Death’s clergy, divinity, and divine power, you’ll directly ascend to the divine throne.. Please, choose carefully!”
