[Your Ki Stat has increased by 15,000,000!]
[Your Spirit Stat has increased by 15,000,000!]
"Hey, this isn’t bad at all!"
[Your [Divinity]: [Primordial Fla: Starless Deep & Void Death / Yin & Yang (Tier 6: Rank 5)] has advanced to Tier 6: Rank 7!]
[All of your Stats have increased by 30,000,000!]
[All of your Skills have gained a 1 Bonus Level.]
"Eh?! Are you kidding ? Absorbing the power of the Hive Queen didn’t increase my divinity, but this did?! Is it because she lacked divine power?"
[Your Contracted Spirit Familiar: [chanical Chira Zodiac Beast Spirit: Wo Long (Affection: 30/100)] has acquired the Divine Ability: [Zodiac Beast Blessing]!]
[By connecting with the Divine Zodiac Beasts of Zodiacron Pri, Wo Long can bless others with their powers and unique characteristics, granting new fighting styles and specialized Auras. However, substantial amounts of your Mana, Ki, Divine Power, and Spirit Energy are required, and only one Blessing can be granted per target.]
"Interesting! So now I can bless others with Zodiac Beast power. This is truly incredible, an extraordinary gift! I suppose I shouldn’t have left so quickly," Maria laughed, as she explained to her family the abilities she had gained.
"Oh, that sounds quite intriguing. Can you bless us with that power yet?" Eraldine asked.
"I want so of that too! Is there a bat Zodiac Beast?" Partner asked.
"Hmm, I don’t think there’s a bat," Maria said. "Okay, let’s try it...!"
"Wait!" Lucifer interrupted, halting Maria’s actions. "Could it be dangerous? We shouldn’t rush into it. Who knows what restrictions or conditions it might have?"
"Hmm, you think it’s dangerous?" Maria raised an eyebrow. "I can even consu divine blessings, so if they’re truly dangerous, I’ll neutralize them."
"Hah... do as you wish," the old dragon shrugged.
"Alright, let try it first."
Maria promptly accessed this new power, and a system window appeared before her.
[Zodiac Beast Blessing nu]
[Snake]
[Dragon]
[Rabbit]
[Tiger]
[Ox]
[Rat]
[Pig]
[Dog]
[Rooster]
[Monkey]
[Goat]
[Horse]
"Hm, that’s an extensive list... It doesn’t clearly indicate the differences between them," Maria said. "System, can you provide the best recomndation for Eraldine?"
[For Eraldine, the Monkey, Horse, or Snake would be the most suitable blessings, emphasizing her swift footwork and agile movents, with precise dexterity and moderate strength. Monkey prioritizes maneuverability, Horse focuses on raw movent speed, and Snake enhances critical hits.]
"That’s quite intriguing. So, what do you want, Eraldine?" Maria asked.
Eraldine reviewed the ssages, considered for a mont, and then nodded.
"Hmm, it’s not entirely my style, but I’ll choose the Snake," she said. "Movent speed and other attributes are less appealing but increasing the ability to land a critical hit that deals greater damage than usual is appealing."
Critical hits were a universal chanic across the Tower, governed by the system but straightforward to grasp.
They represented a small chance to strike a weak point on a foe, amplifying the damage dealt and occasionally weakening or paralyzing the target temporarily.
For instance, a foe might shield against arrows with robust, armored arms, but by chance or skill, Eraldine could pierce through the armor and hit a nerve, paralyzing the arm entirely and causing significant pain, disrupting her target’s composure.
Maria understood her reasoning perfectly and nodded, promptly selecting the Snake as Eraldine’s Zodiac Beast Blessing.
Ding!
[You have selected the [Divine Zodiac Beast: Snake] to bless the target [Eraldine]!]
[Do you wish to expend Mana, Ki, Spirit Energy, Divine Power, and 10,000,000 System Points to bless the target?]
[Yes] [No]
"Of course, it wasn’t going to be entirely free..." Maria nodded. "It costs ten million System Points."
"Eh?!" Eraldine gasped. "Perhaps we shouldn’t do it? I truly don’t mind! Hahah..."
"No, I’ll do it. Ten million isn’t the end of the world," Maria said, selecting the [Yes] button.
FLUOSH!
Green light surged from Wo Long and Maria, taking the form of a massive erald and gold ethereal snake. It hissed at Eraldine, opened its jaws, and enveloped her.
"Waaahh!"
Eraldine panicked, closing her eyes, only for the snake to transform into warm light, enveloping her body and rging with her soul.
"Oh!"
She noticed a small snake-shaped tattoo appearing on her left hand, glowing mysteriously.
[You have expended 10,000,000 System Points.]
[Your Ally [Eraldine] has received the [Divine Zodiac Beast Blessing: Snake]!]
[Her Agility has increased by 100%, her Movent Speed by 70%, her Critical Chance by 50%, and her Critical Damage by 100%!]
[She has gained the ability to develop and manipulate Ki Energy and channel the power of the Snake into her Martial Arts and Spiritual Ki Aura.]
[The more she utilizes and trains these powers, the stronger they will beco, and the greater the blessing bonuses may grow.]
[[Eraldine] has acquired the Skill: [Divine Zodiac Beast Spiritual Aura Arts: Snake: Lv1]!]
[[Eraldine] has acquired the Title Skill: [Blessed by the Divine Zodiac Snake: Lv1]!]
"Alright, that’s complete," Maria nodded. "Look at all the bonuses, Eraldine! Do you feel stronger?"
"I do! This is truly remarkable," Eraldine said. "And I gained two new Skills... exceptionally powerful."
"Alright," Maria said. "Who wants a Blessing next?"
" next! ! !" Partner exclaid.
"eeee!" Nyx said.
"I wouldn’t mind having one either," Nia smiled.
"I don’t know... wouldn’t it be asking too much of you?" Alma asked.
"Don’t worry about that," Maria said. "I’ll grant everyone a blessing."
"No, I don’t want it. You can keep it for yourself," Lucifer said grumpily.
"Nor I. I’m rather done with divine blessings, honestly," Jonathan said.
"I am not interested," Arthur said.
"Hm, I don’t think it’s necessary," Celes said.
"If there isn’t a spider, then I don’t care!" Arachne said.
"Ah, I see... well, I suppose not everyone will receive one," Maria nodded. "It’s fine. I won’t force this on anyone... alright."
