Chapter 390: Chapter 327: Secret Avatar
Concept Avatars are the physical manifestation of abstract concepts…
Once a Concept Avatar dies, it leads to the death of all related Technique Spirits, and Mages can no longer summon them until the Void Realm regenerates the concept…
Should such a dangerous item really be accessible to Two-winged Mages!?
Ash thought about it carefully and felt frightened, in a kingdom dominated by Mages, where Mage Miracles penetrate every tier of life, and Technique Spirits, as the most important reliance for Mages, are tantamount to essential energy sources like electricity and thermal energy, they could quite literally be called ‘the blood of society’.
Not to ntion, if a concept like the “electromagnetic avatar” were compromised, the Kingdom of Gospel would be paralyzed directly because its electric power system relies heavily on the maintenance of Mages from the Electromagnetic Faction. Once the Technique Spirits of this faction disappear, this precise and efficient energy system would collapse instantaneously, and for a long duration, reverting society back to primitive conditions.
If such a catastrophe were to occur, the entire society would likely take decades to recover, with incalculable losses to the economy and possibly years of social unrest.
And yet, Concept Avatars tied to the fate of the kingdom are accessible to Two-winged Mages!?
This isn’t like ‘casually buying a gun at the supermarket’ level of ridiculousness, it’s akin to ‘finding uranium material on Taobao’. Ash didn’t think even Legendary Mages had the right to possess such a dangerous item that could affect the fate of millions.
Yet he was casually given one by a Heroic Soul on the Ti Continent, and then traded it for another!?
However, after calming down, Ash suddenly felt that although this was absurd, it might not be illogical.
According to his observations, it seed that only Heroic Soul Commanders could possess Concept Avatars, and Two-winged Mages would definitely not be able to defeat a Heroic Soul Commander. The narrow victory over the weakest logistic Commander by Ash’s trio was an event unlikely to be replicated, perhaps not even once in ten million years.
Moreover, the Heroic Soul Commanders who have Concept Avatars, are likely the aces of their forces, making their chances of being clubbed over the head by Mages almost negligible.
That is to say, the transfer of Concept Avatars can only occur among Heroic Soul Commanders, and since Commanders are subordinates of the Divine Lords, and it appears that carrying a “Concept Avatar” can greatly enhance the combat power of their troops…
The appearance of Concept Avatars in the second layer of the Void Realm is probably a deliberate act by the Divine Lords. Given the low combat power of the Mages on the Ti Continent, the Concept Avatars are actually safe.
If a Concept Avatar appeared in the third or fourth layers of the Void Realm, where Holy Domains and Legendary figures are commonplace, not only would the security forces for the Concept Avatars have to increase drastically, but the risk of loss would be far from low—even stowaway Mages like Ash and the Sword Maiden can master two or three factions, let alone a true Legendary Mage who could integrate multiple factions and innovate.
They wouldn’t even need a direct confrontation; they could effortlessly steal a Concept Avatar with various Miracles.
Ash suddenly rembered the introduction of the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, ‘Congratulations on becoming a participant in this never-ending ga, even though you don’t even qualify to be a pawn.’
Compared to the Heroic Soul Commanders, Mages indeed have no right to be pawns in this ga.
The struggles among various factions of the Ti Continent are probably a microcosm of the Divine Lords’ ga.
But in comparison to the usual stakes of gold, silver, life, and resources on a gambling table, the chips traded by the Divine Lords were shockingly terrifying—re enhancents to the Commander’s Combat Power were at stake, yet they dared to bet Concept Avatars that affected the lives of millions of civilians and the careers of countless Mages!
Ash didn’t think the opposing forces would keep the Concept Avatar after capturing it; it was probable that it could only enhance a specific type of troop, and it would be useless to the opposing forces. So, there was only one option left—destruction.
The Empress’ Soul had probably already destroyed the ‘Star Cluster Avatar’, and though Ash was unaware if there was a Star Magic Faction in this world, if there were Star Mages, they would be out of a job starting now.
It was only then that Ash realized he hadn’t yet considered the most profitable, yet at the sa ti, most costly gain from this adventure—the Secret Avatar.
Profitable because a Concept Avatar indeed had high value, and costly because the price of obtaining it was too high—they would henceforth be hunted by the Spider Tower until they ascended to the Three-winged Holy Realm.
If he could do it over, Ash would have preferred not to have received the Concept Avatar. He even would have willingly exchanged the Concept Avatar for a peaceful ti in the Void Realm. Unfortunately, the Empress’ ruthless nature has cut off his retreat.
The Secret Avatar had already been absorbed by the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, which should also be a safeguard chanism of the Divine Lords. Ordinary Mages, even if by chance, they encountered a Concept Avatar, without the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, would be unable to absorb the concept. Perhaps a Legendary Mage might bypass the need for Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, but then, how would a Legendary Mage ever appear on the Ti Continent?
Ash glanced at the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit and noticed there was no change, except for an additional line of text:
“Secret: You are the embodint of Secret Will, possessing the highest authority of the information system. The Peeping Secrets under your command can concurrently cast ‘Weaving’ miracles on both allies and enemies (previously, you could only choose one), with the casting ti reduced by 50%, and affected allied units gain one layer of armor.”
Indeed, the Secret Avatar was ant to empower the “Peeping Secret,” but Ash hadn’t unlocked this unit type, rendering the Secret Avatar ineffective for him.
Now he really felt like he had taken a loss; gaining no benefits but still paying the full price!
Ash, unwilling to give up, opened the Gospel Book and asked, “What are the uses of the Secret Avatar?”
Gospel Book: “10,000 Gospel Points.”
Ash: “Why does the Heroic Soul Commander have a Concept Avatar?”
Gospel Book: “8,000 Gospel Points.”
Ash: “Is there any free information?”
Gospel Book: “Today in Vatican Mura, it’s changing from clear to cloudy, with temperatures at 28°. The breeding success rate of Elves and Goblins has greatly increased, with a significant rise in the chances of twins.”
What the hell uses does that have for soone like who can only reproduce with humans…
Ash: “I want to improve my psychological strength and beco a decision-maker capable of bearing the lives of others. Do you have any suggestions?”
Gospel Book: “Your Highness is truly comndable. Your psychological strength is already high, and yet you still seek improvent. The Gospel has an unpolished suggestion: Your Highness could improve psychological strength by gaining more combat experience.”
Ash: “That’s what I thought as well, but given the limited conditions, I plan to be a team leader and commander in the virtual ga ‘Epic,’ leading high-difficulty raids. What do you think about that?”
Gospel Book: “An excellent idea, totally feasible!”
Ash: “But I haven’t done much in-app purchasing, and even if I were to spend money now, I couldn’t imdiately reach the level of top-tier players, and high-difficulty raids require high equipnt levels. Do you have any solutions?”
Gospel Book: “5 points.”
Ash: “You want points for that, too?”
Gospel Book: “Your Highness, you will not be disappointed. (Deducting 5 points) Account ******, password *******, the account owner is getting married and will never touch ‘Epic’ again. You can use it with confidence, Your Highness.”
Wait, isn’t this akin to hacking soone’s account?
But it’s given to by the Gospel Book, so it should…
With skepticism, Ash arrived at the ga layer, entered the gaming pod to log in, and was imdiately dazzled by the full-achievent, max-level character screen.
This wasn’t just sothing that could be achieved with in-app purchases; it required years of persistent gaming to forge such a golden account!
At that mont, the negative effects of the “Concept Poison” triggered again, and the entire gaming pod turned into a spider cocoon.
However, this ti Ash didn’t feel disgusted or terrified; instead, he felt oddly comforted.
Although I’d like to harshly criticize the nastiness of the Gospel miracle, it’s been too good to .
