Chapter 2618 Two Options
Kentucky heard about Roan"s comment, saying that the armor should give the twins a defense of equivalent strength as his own body. Naturally, the overconfident bird had to come out and see it himself. However, Rean had already started making the two new pieces of armor, so he was barred from entering the workshops.
Without another choice, he went to talk to Luan. "You want to know more about the armor?" Luan wasn"t surprised. "Well, the explanation is quite long, so I"ll use a Divine Sense Message to explain everything." And so he did, compiling everything he heard from Rean and his group in that message.
Kentucky pondered a bit, feeling all of that to be unnecessary. "Why so complicated? Simply put, the armor can"t be used by others, improves your defense, improves your control of Divine Origin Energy, repairs itself, and gathers elements like all of Rean"s other equipment. Isn"t that all?"
"Wel..." Luan had to admit Kentucky"s words made sense. "That"s pretty much it, I guess?"
"Hmph!" Kentucky snorted. "I want to see later if they truly have a defense as high as mine."
Rean didn"t know what Kentucky was thinking. Even if he did, he wouldn"t really care as he was focused on his work. The process became more refined as everyone got used to replicating the first attempts. In the end, Rean only needed another month to finish the other two entire armors. Not only that, but his group also crafted the rest of the Serene Gold Filament into more of the runes, leaving it ready in case there was a need to repair any of the three armors. Roan took his own armor and immediately channeled his Divine Origin Energy. Sure enough, a huge amount of Light Element immediately gathered around as the same thing happened to his White Star Scythe. Both of them together doubled the external ability of gathering Light Element to complement his Dark Element.
Rean, of course, tried his own as well. He got used to his armor way faster than Roan and Luan, as his knowledge of the product was complete. The twins even spared together, with Roan, as always, holding the advantage. Nonetheless, their power was quite similar, a result of so many years following Roan"s own training course.
"What do you think?" Rean asked at the end of their spar.
"Still not enough to defeat an Initial Stage Divinity Realm expert," Roan answered with quite some confidence. "However, we shouldn"t be completely powerless against them either. Given the right circ.u.mstances, we might be able to deliver a killing blow, especially since our cultivation would be drastically underestimated."
Rean smiled. "Simply put, it"s business as usual."
Roan nodded. "As always."
Kentucky arrived a moment later, curious about the results as well. "So, how did the armor turn out?"
[So, are you done with your tests?] Sister Orb appeared in the training field. [We were supposed to have departed to the Hustis Continent a month ago.]
"Increasing one"s powers and chance of survival can always take priority," Rean said, not minding the delay at all. The Fragment Hyeoumu mentioned had been there for so long already. It wouldn"t disappear in just a month.
"Leaving that aside, I guess we can give it a look at the Upgrade List," Roan didn"t forget their free Upgrade Point.
The two of them quickly sent their Divine Senses and energy inside the Control Orb, making the list of upgrades appear in their minds.
In the end, the twins looked at two options that seemed to be most useful.
The first option was the system"s Domain:
[Yin Yang Cultivation Unbalance Domain - 5000000]
[Requirements: 1- This ability requires 1000 points of Destiny to be used every second. 2- This ability requires both hosts to be within the Domain"s range. 3- The targets of the Domain must not be more than one entire realm above the hosts" cultivation.] [Effect: Drops the opponent"s strength by half a realm.]
However, the twins also found a new addition to the Domain that wasn"t present before.
[Warning: This Domain does not affect Semi-Celestial Experts.]
The twins looked at each other and could tell why it only appeared now. "It has always been like this with the system. It only shows descriptions and options after taking into consideration the things we experienced in our lives. When this Domain was first added to the Upgrade List, we didn"t even know Semi-Celesitals existed, so the system didn"t consider it back then."
As for the second option, it was the most expensive of the entire upgrade list:
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 6 - 10000000 Destiny Points]
The twins would have to decide which one of the two to buy.
"Still, the more I look at it, the more ridiculous I find this Unbalance Domain," Rean couldn"t help but comment.
Roan obviously understood why. "This pretty much makes us invincible against anyone up to an entire realm, not including Semi-Celestials, of course. That means opponents at the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm would also be affected. However, the cost of using it is also staggering."
Even if an Initial Stage Divinity Realm expert had his cultivation dropped by half a realm, he would still be an expert at the Late Stage of the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm. Not to mention, he would be stronger than other experts at that level since his knowledge of the laws would be much more advanced.
Yet, the Unbalance Domain costs 1000 Destiny Points per second. Unless they finish the opponent instantly, a battle against such an expert would definitely last for a while. The twins would definitely be stronger, but just how many life-saving methods a Divinity Realm expert would have to keep his life intact? The twins had acquired items in the past that could resist a full blow of a Divinity Realm expert once or twice, so these experts obviously had their own items that did the same.
"Now, the weird thing is the second option," Roan looked there. "Even though the Unbalance Domain is such an overpowered ability, the Dimensional Realm Upgrade costs double! Just what would the Dimensional Realm gain from this?"
