Chapter 432 - 106: A Choice of Three Powers of Authority! Blood Lock! Teleportation! Permanent Bleeding
’Messy Hair?’
The name struck Qin Feng’s mind like a bolt of lightning. ’Isn’t that the game ID my sister, Qin Yao, used back in the Lord Plane?’
’Heh!’
’Just as I thought!’
’I knew it!’
A sharp glint ignited in his eyes, and the clouds of doubt that had been weighing on his mind instantly scattered.
’My sister’s sudden disappearance was no accident. It has to be connected to these Deities, the ones you can only encounter after stepping into the Divine Domain!’
With that thought, Qin Feng gripped his Beheading Sword, his knuckles turning white. He was about to demand the King of War tell him where his sister was. The words were already hot on his tongue, ready to pry Qin Yao’s whereabouts from this supreme being.
But just as the words were about to escape his lips, the King of War, seated upon the throne, suddenly moved.
He remained concealed within shadows so thick they were impenetrable, his face veiled by a chaotic halo of light that left only a blurred silhouette. But as he raised his hand, his eyes suddenly pierced through the darkness.
Those weren’t the eyes of a human. They were two clusters of flickering, pale-gold flames. An indifference like the birth and death of stars churned in their depths, but as they swept over Qin Feng, a nearly imperceptible glint of scrutiny flashed past.
It wasn’t curiosity.
It was more like he was gauging the sharpness of a tool.
Then, the King of War’s eyelids drooped slightly, casting a long shadow over his high-bridged nose. The corner of his mouth seemed to lift in a barely-there curve. There was no mirth in it, only the unique condescension of a deity looking down upon mortals. It was as if Qin Feng’s desperate questions were nothing more than a mosquito’s buzz, interrupting a nap.
He didn’t rise, didn’t even straighten his back. He simply lifted his right hand, casually turning his wrist and spreading his fingers with a lazy air.
The pale-gold Divine Power that spilled from his palm wasn’t a violent torrent of energy, but a flow of rules as natural as breathing.
His fingertips moved with the casual air of one who could conjure clouds and storms with a turn of his hand. It was as if banishing Qin Feng was no more difficult than brushing a speck of dust from his robes.
The surrounding hall, the grand staircase, and that suffocating pressure instantly dissolved like a candle flame snuffed out between fingers. It all receded as swiftly as an ebbing tide, so fast that Qin Feng didn’t even have time to be surprised.
The world spun around him, and Qin Feng found himself back in the Real World. A stream of cold system prompts immediately popped up before his eyes, filling his entire Field of View.
[System Notification]
[In recognition of your fearless feat of continuously hunting Abyssal Apostles, you have attracted a fleeting glance from the King of War!]
[The supreme Deity, moved by your defiant fighting spirit, wishes to grant you an additional Divine Gift!]
[Please make your choice immediately—]
[1. Even greater personal might]
[2. Even more elite legion combat power]
[3. A God-given Exclusive Power]
Qin Feng’s pupils constricted. His fingertips unconsciously caressed the hilt of his Beheading Sword. He was silent for barely a breath before making his decision.
’Personal might.’
’With the Bloodthirsty Talent, I won’t be lacking in that department.’
’Legion combat power.’
’The legion combat power from my Riding and Cutting system is already absurdly strong.’
’I don’t need any more of that.’
’But a God-given Power of Authority... there’s no other way to get one of those. I have to seize this kind of "choose-your-own" opportunity and lock it down.’
[You have selected "God-given Exclusive Power." Please choose your reward from the following three "Divine Gift Powers of Authority"!]
[1. Power of Authority (Endless Fury): A Level 1 Blood Lock-type Divine Gift Power of Authority. When you enter a near-death state, you will trigger Blood Lock for five seconds. During this time, you cannot be killed by any skill other than Level 1 or higher Divine Gift skills that counter ’Endless Fury,’ such as ’Ignore Blood Lock’ and ’Sealed Blood Lock.’ Cooldown: 24 hours.]
[2. Power of Authority (Permanent Bleeding): A Level 1 debuff-type Divine Gift Power of Authority. Allows all of your attacks to stack one layer of Permanent Bleeding on the enemy. Each stack of Bleeding drains 1% of their maximum Blood Volume per second. Can be stacked up to a maximum of ten layers. This effect cannot be removed by ordinary Dispel Skills; only another Power of Authority, in the form of a Divine Gift Talent or skill, can remove the stacks.]
[3. Power of Authority: Teleportation: A special-type Divine Gift Power of Authority with no level limit (MAX Level). Allows you to instantly cast all Teleportation abilities you possess. You do not need to be out of combat to cast, nor do you need to worry about being interrupted by conventional or Divine Gift Control Skills, unless it is a spatial-type Divine Gift Power of Authority, such as ’Spatial Lockdown’.]
’Here we go!’
’The classic three-way choice!’
’Endless Fury, the near-death Blood Lock, is a life-saving trump card for turning the tables in a desperate fight.’
’Permanent Bleeding, with its stacking percentage-based damage, could combine with Permanent Poisoning to form a devastating combo. It’s a DPS nuke, perfect for dealing with powerful, high-tier enemies with massive Life Values.’
’And finally, the Teleportation ability. That’s a strategic ace in the hole. Tracking clues, avoiding danger, launching surprise attacks, pulling off quick retreats... it would max out my mobility!’
’So?’
’Should I take the life-saving Blood Lock? The percentage-based damage that’s a nuke just like Permanent Poisoning? Or the ability with massive strategic value, Teleportation?’
’All three options have their own incredible merits. Each one is so crucial, it’s hard to decide!’
After a moment of deliberation, a decisive glint appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. He didn’t hesitate at all.
"I choose the third one!"
"Power of Authority: Teleportation!"
His logic for this choice was crystal clear.
First.
The first Divine Gift Power of Authority.
At this stage, Qin Feng’s own power was already absurdly high. With a terrifying Blood Volume in the tens of millions, plus a variety of powerful legions to protect him, ordinary Lord Players couldn’t even dream of touching him.
