Pine Bloom left. She said she needed ti to think about what kind of bargaining chip she could bring before coming back to Rita. Rita did not rush to refuse, even though she could not think of anything more valuable than her ti right now. She still owed a lot of World Sigh to write.
BS Mistblade and BS Crab had both returned to BS. She heard they had locked themselves in their rooms and had not co out.
That was understandable. One was tier nineteen, one was tier eighteen. They had thought they would at least get a proper battle, yet were easily beaten back ho.
The gap between Quiet Mountain tier eighteen and SS tier eighteen was just that large.
The forr might be the true representation of individual combat power, because the demon ga did not restrict players with ga rules. Instead, it adjusted NPC strength based on the player’s actual ability.
Uncharted Star Sea was the opposite. For the sake of fairness, the divine ga was layered with many restrictions, involving war and many other systems. Not to ntion existences like Mistblade, who had voluntarily sealed herself just to reduce the constraints of the divine ga.
Rita opened her attribute panel. Ever since she left the demon ga loop, massive changes had already taken place.
BS Rita Adjudicator Starsea. Level 91. Tier 15. Abyss.
That was the basic information. Beneath it were two lines flashing with a different kind of light.
Congratulations, player, you are breaking away from divine bestowal.
Her health and mana had turned directly into two progress bars like rivers of ti.
There were no longer any nurical values, but there was a line of annotation that made Rita frown.
Health: 70 percent. Each Starsea day, the player will manifest 20 fatal weak points. When a fatal weak point is struck, the player’s health will imdiately drop by 10 percent and cannot be recovered for 24 hours.
Mana: 100 percent.
Twenty fatal points. How was that any different from rolling dice?
It felt like she could die from a single bump.
No wonder her health had been stuck at 70 percent and refused to recover. She had thought it was so special skill from the Quiet Mountain players. Now it seed that in the final stage, she had accidentally been hit on a fatal weak point.
Was this the price of breaking away from divine bestowal? She did not know whether the number of fatal weak points could be reduced through so thod.
The four core attributes of strength, physique, agility, and intelligence had also disappeared. Instead, they had transford into a magnificent and ornate grand pendulum clock on the character panel.
Four hands of different lengths rested on the clock face. The three hands representing strength, physique, and agility were all stopped at twelve o’clock. The blue hand representing intelligence had already moved to one.
Below them, the pendulum swinging with extrely small amplitude represented her luck.
She did not know whether its tiny range of motion was due to the large amount of luck currently sealed, or due to her overall combat power.
The least relevant attribute, charm, had disappeared entirely and was not reflected on this grand clock at all.
Although fraworks like level 91 and tier 15 still existed, and although the new setting of fatal weak points was sothing she could not tolerate or accept, Rita was extrely satisfied with the line saying she was breaking away from divine bestowal.
No matter how good a divine gift was, how could it compare to what one comprehended, learned, and created by oneself.
What the gods could give, they could also take back.
Perhaps breaking away from divine bestowal was the true beginning of holding power firmly in one’s own hands.
Rita returned to the World Pier. The Cat’s Ideal and BS were still docked beside the broken pier. Her four vice captains were guarding the ship for her.
She let Nivalis and B80 go play and fool around with the vice captains, while she sat cross legged on the deck and began sorting through the compensation from Quiet Mountain and the gifts from Uncharted Star Sea.
First ca the most important part, and the one Rita was looking forward to the most, the expulsion compensation.
She collected the mail, and an item resembling an alchemy cauldron appeared before her.
Product Upgrade, Quiet Mountain treasure. Select one item, equipnt, or oddity as the base. Insert three items, equipnt, or oddities that you have used before the current ti node. Fuse and upgrade them. The core skills of the fused items are guaranteed to be retained, and the item is guaranteed to be sublimated. One use only.
Rita’s eyes lit up instantly. This was far better than a skill reward, though it was a pity it could only be used once.
But precisely because it could only be used once, this Quiet Mountain treasure was even more valuable.
She imdiately made her choice.
Use the treasure My Sigh as the base, and fuse the perfect oddity Soul Catcher, the perfect oddity Aloof Antenna Baby, and the treasure Unauthorized Manufacture.
Sleeping Dragon Eggshell would have been better than Unauthorized Manufacture, but that involved Nivalis and the dragon race. The aning was different.
The four items were laid out before her.
Her fingers paused slightly as they brushed past the antenna connected to the purple gemstone.
She directly summoned Y128 using her authority as BS Adjudicator. In the blink of an eye, Y128 appeared in front of her.
The little robot, less than half a ter tall, wore a small suit custom made by Eclipse. The sunflower like antenna on its head swayed back and forth in the wind of the river of ti. It looked at BS Rita in surprise and delight.
"Are you thinking about too?"
On the other side of the deck, Nivalis, who had been chasing cats and playing around, flashed to Rita’s side in an instant, glaring at Y128 with vigilance.
"Where did you learn that line? You disgust ."
Y128 tilted its cube head and adjusted its bow tie.
"Mind your own business."
Nivalis and Rita fell silent.
Rita pointed at the antenna, her tone calm yet forceful.
"I need it. You can ask for compensation or make a request."
Y128 tilted its cube head again. Its analysis showed that BS Rita had changed a little. She had beco more decisive and more forceful, yet not fundantally different.
The chanoids always had the fastest information. It already knew why BS Rita had returned early. She was a powerhouse so strong that another world had used rules to expel her. She had even fought ten Quiet Mountain god apostles alone.
Although this was also the first ti it had heard of Quiet Mountain and god apostles, the fact that BS Mistblade and the others had all been beaten back was enough to prove the strength of the Quiet Mountain faction.
It also knew that BS Pine Bloom was now attempting to seek her guidance.
Despite being so powerful, because she had once promised that the antenna belonged to them both, when she needed it, she would still seek its consent. Even if it was rely a notice, she was making a promise to it.
She was bending down to et its eyes.
The cube spun a few tis. Y128 raised its small chanical hand and held up three fingers.
"Let stay on your shoulder for three. No, for one hundred hours."
Considering that BS Rita still needed to eat, sleep, and bathe, Y128 cleverly changed its calculation.
That was it? Rita lifted Y128 and placed it on her shoulder.
"Deal."
Y128 sat there grinning happily. The mont it settled down, it felt an extra presence on its legs. It looked down and saw B80 sitting in its lap.
"Get off."
"This is my spot."
Y128 fell silent.
"She still has another shoulder, doesn’t she?"
It turned its head, only to see Nivalis already clinging tightly to the other shoulder, baring her teeth at the two of them.
