Chapter 347 - Upgraded Milestone of Destiny
Chapter 347 of "Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God" opens with: Compared to this option, Gaven would rather choose the more universal two points of Charisma... See what unfolds next!
Compared to this option, Gaven would rather choose the more universal two points of Charisma attribute.As for the last option, it is the same as the one Nicole had originally chosen, related to Professional Level Enhancement: all casting Professional Levels related to Charisma are considered as +1.
For Gaven, whose core casting attribute is Intelligence, it is a useless option.
The Magic Network is a programmed entity, responding to certain conditions without making choices for individuals.
This is universally acknowledged.
The only one who can make choices is possibly Gaven himself, whether consciously or subconsciously.
Itâs very likely that during the recent struggle when he exerted all his strength against the Demigod Ruptured Palm, he subconsciously chose to muster all the power he could.
What he had been facing, although it was just a severed palm, could be considered an extension of a female.
If the effect of this ability isnât limited to mortals, then it has a major impact.
In fact, this female being used it with significant nuance, because the implications go far beyond humanoid females â it could encompass categories like Giants, the Fae Race, Demons, and so on.
However powerful and useful this ability may be, it doesnât sound very nice.
In any case, Gaven has decided to keep this ability buried deep, never to casually divulge it to anyone.
Gaven didnât waste much effort on things that could no longer be changed.
Instead, he turned his attention to the Milestones of Destiny, where two shiny golden lines hung on the shimmering image of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Ranked first was no longer the Carrier Bug Terminator, but a newly appeared one.
It seems the order of the Milestones of Destiny isnât determined by the sequence in which they are acquired but by the Force of Destiny they contain.
When Gaven looked closely, he realized it wasnât as simple as acquiring a new golden Milestone of Destiny.
It was an upgrade through the fusion of a silver Milestone of Destiny.
The one upgraded, of course, was the Destroyer of the Undead Vengeance field.
Golden Milestone of Destiny: Enemy of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance
Enemy of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance: You have successively destroyed the Undead Vengeance field of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance, thwarted her plan to reclaim Undead Divinity, vanquished her right hand and eye, and indirectly killed her Divine Child, Elvisâ indefinitely delaying the Goddessâs awakening time, making you her archenemy. Youâve been marked by her will, and all her devoted followers will hunt you down at any cost.
You have gained complete control over Weizemay Manor, a Ghost Manor that offers free passage in and out of the Shadow Plane.
You have acquired the Milestone of Destiny Skill: Destroy Evil, and unlocked the branch skill: Divine Nature Fusion.
You have acquired the Milestone of Destiny Skill: Blasphemer of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance.
You have acquired the Milestone of Destiny Skill: Vampire Hunter.
Though itâs an amalgamation of levels, its value is undoubtedly high. Putting other things aside, just having three Milestone of Destiny Skills, even with one being possibly redundant, has spawned new changes.
The first thing Gavenâs consciousness perceived, naturally, was Destroy Evilânot only because it was familiar, but also because he felt that the solution to his recent dilemma lay right there.
The description of the skill Destroy Evil hadnât changed much, except for an additional line at the end.
It can extract Divine Nature, limited to Undead and Revenge.
Well, thatâs as good as saying nothing.
Divine Nature is an important part of a Deity. Without God Slaying, thereâs no Divine Nature for him to extract. Such a situation as the current one is rare and unrepeatable.
The Goddess of Undead Vengeance certainly wonât make the same mistake again, let alone let Gaven encounter it.
Gavenâs focus was on the branch skill, Divine Nature Fusion.
You can use Divine Nature to reverse past choices, transferring the full power to a new item. This process will completely destroy the former equipment, and this ability is limited to the equipment produced by Destroy Evil.
This was it.
As for Divine Nature, Gaven didnât have any, but Weizemay Manor did.
Gaven then shifted his consciousness towards Weizemay Manor.
Weizemay Manor seemed to have undergone tremendous changes, even its whole appearance had altered.
It was unknown whether this was a simple change in apparition, or, like the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the apparition was a reflection of reality and the manor also experienced changes.
Soon, Gaven found what he was looking for.
Undead Divinity: Five points.
Seeing the amount, Gavenâs first reaction was, why so little.
It turns out that a black substance isnât equivalent to one point of Divine Nature. With so much black substance before, he had thought there would be hundreds or at least dozens of points of Divine Nature. Follow current novels on Nová´lFir(e).ná´t
If the Goddess of Undead Vengeance knew Gavenâs thoughts, sheâd definitely spit in his face, calling him a theological idiot.
But then again, matters of this level wouldnât be known by Gaven, not to mention few mortals know much about it, certainly only those closely related to the True Gods.
As for matters directly involving their power, the True Gods have always been secretive.
A Demigod has Divine Nature, holds a divine office but lacks full Godhood.
A Demigod can only contain up to ten points of Divine Nature. To contain more, they must first spend these ten points of Divine Nature in Coalescence of Godhood.
Chiaranlisha is now a Demigod. If she retrieves these five points of Undead Divinity, she can reform her shattered Godhood, return to Feeble Divine Power, and become a True God once more.
The difference between the two is immense, with the latter obviously accumulating Divine Nature more quickly.
Although itching to experiment at once, his current situation was hardly suitable for on-the-spot trials, so he had to suppress the urge for now.
He continued to observe his latest gains.
Blasphemer of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance (Special Ability)âUpon releasing this skill, you will automatically identify the location of all devout followers of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance within a hundred kilometers, marking them for twenty-four hours. This skill can be used once a day.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Gaven suddenly remembered this phrase.
It couldnât be more fitting in this context.
With this skill, it wouldnât be just the followers of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance seeking revenge on Gaven.
Gaven could also actively hunt down the followers of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance.
This skill was furiously pushing him down the path of god slaying.
Vampire Hunter (Special Ability)âAll damage you deal to vampires is considered sacred damage and will temporarily prevent their regeneration ability from taking effect.
This ability was similar to that of a Demon Hunter, a passive skill specifically targeting a particular species. Though it didnât provide an extra damage bonus like the Demon Hunter, regarding the damage as sacred and temporarily preventing regeneration was quite brutal.
It was the same as nullifying most of a vampireâs combat power.
Probably, from now on, vampires would flee upon sensing Gavenâs presence.
This ability did not originate from the Goddess of Undead Vengeance, but from the Divine Child, Elvis, whom Gaven had not even had the chance to confront face to face.
The guy was also pitifully tragic, not getting killed by the Supreme Elf Mages but instead getting trapped by his own mother.
What is particularly interesting is that,
the Milestone of Destiny does not mention anything about the Thacel Refugee Camp, which usually would forcibly improve oneâs favorability.
The reason for this occurrence is not hard to surmise.
Itâs simply that, whether I appear or not, the Thacel Refugee Camp will not be destroyed completely.
After all, Kopofiel had previously sought help from Regina, and I just happened to be there.
Even without me, Regina would still have invited Darnell, August, and Olive to come to the rescue.
In that case, I presume they would only be able to repel the Dwarven vampires, not kill them, much less counterattack.
Gaven, within his Sea of Consciousness, had finished tallying his gains and was about to land.
Everyone stared at Gaven, dumbstruck, as if they were looking at a monster.
To this moment, they still couldnât believe what they had witnessed.
A palm of a deity had been melted by Gaven into a silver light orb.
This was an unprecedented event; if it got out, it would surely drive countless priests mad.
Is a divine body something a mortal can injure?
Not to mention, the two shadows that had emerged from him were beyond their imagination as well.
The most astonished at the sight of the shadows were Regina and Darnell. They had both been part of cleaning up Weizemay Manor together, and no matter how they looked at those shadows, they resembled Weizemay Manor.
Not waiting for them to question him, Gaven took the initiative to explain, "Not long after we cleaned up Weizemay Manor, I had a dream at midnight. When I woke up, I gained a Special Ability called Destroy Evil.
It allows me to destroy evil artifacts, extract their essence, and attach it to other items, turning them into regular magic equipment. Just now, I had no choice but to try this method, and to my surprise, I actually succeeded."
"A God-Given Skill!" Olive, Darnell, and August exclaimed in unison.
Pretending to be ignorant, Gaven asked, "What do you mean by a God-Given Skill?"
"When a believer performs a great deed that earns the appreciation of the gods, the gods might personally bestow a reward, granting him a powerful force, mostly in the form of Special Abilities.
Because this is a grace from the gods, it is also known as a God-Given Skill, but such events usually happen to devout believers."
The implication of Darnellâs words was clear: how could such a thing happen to someone who was neither a Priest nor a Paladin?
"The will of the gods is not something we can speculate. Perhaps a Benevolent God favored young brother Gaven and specially bestowed a God-Given Power."
August, being more broad-minded, didnât dwell on the matter. Instead, he said with great enthusiasm, "Young brother Gaven, your skill is not just a deadly nemesis of evil, but also a great boon for the cause of Justice. When you have time, you must come to the Just Hammer. We have sealed dozens of various evil artifacts there.
They are hot potatoes that we cannot use for the cause of justice, yet we worry that they could affect people or be stolen by others for evil purposes.
Of course, we wouldnât let brother Gaven work for nothing. When the time comes, we will pay a corresponding wage."
Upon hearing this, Gaven immediately perked up and said with a smile, "If you are willing to use the magic artifacts created after destroying evil as compensation, then I might consider this deal."
Why didnât he think of this business opportunity before!
Which old monastery doesnât have a few sacred objects? And which hasnât sealed a few evil artifacts?
Especially the Just Hammer, a monastery known for producing Holy Warriors, dedicated to purifying evil and judging injustice; it is simply a major repository of evil artifacts.
Even obtaining a small part would be lucrative.
After all, magic weapons are generally not cheap.
Especially those of the evil artifact caliber, typically powerful, difficult to destroy, or possessing unique abilities that make them too valuable to destroy.
No matter which kind, the equipment transformed from them would not be of low value.
"Deal," August agreed readily.
After all, Gavenâs God-Given Power was there, and in order to turn evil artifacts into their own power, a price had to be paid.
"Before that, we have a loose end to tie up," Gaven cleverly shifted the topic.
"Are you referring to Belinda, the Dwarven vampire sacrifier?" Everyone there was sharp and immediately knew what Gaven meant by âtailâ.
"Exactly," Gaven nodded in affirmation.
"Can you find her?" Now, no one present dared to underestimate Gaven.
While they had not underestimated him before, their respect for him was largely due to the reinforcements he had brought. Now it came from the extraordinary abilities he had shown.
