Chapter 569: Speculations About the Holy Spirit
” ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ stop!” Kant quickly sent out this thought in his mind. Once Kant’s thought was sent out, the green light that enveloped the “Large Oak Seed” in the treasure chest returned to the orange necklace around Kant’s neck like a tide, and the “Large Oak Seed” no longer spewed out emerald-green extraordinary powers.
Kant believed that the “Large Oak Seed” had produced so many extraordinary powers that Kant even felt insignificant. It was definitely extraordinary. He did not know that the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ had absorbed so many extraordinary powers. Was this seed still usable? At first, it was as big as a basketball, but now that the necklace had absorbed a large amount of extraordinary power, it was only as big as a soccer ball. Although it seemed to have shrunk in size, in reality, its size was at least half of its original size.
“This ‘Large Oak Seed’, what is it?” Kant felt relaxed and no longer felt any pressure. He could not help but think. Kant did not recognize this ‘Large Oak Seed’.
[ System, what kind of seed do you think this is? It actually possesses such powerful extraordinary power? ] Kant could not help but ask the system in his mind. The system had always given Kant a feeling of omniscience and omnipotence. This ‘Large Oak Seed’ was so extraordinary, but the mages of the Enfath Empire under him treated it as an ordinary rare resource. It was obvious that the mages did not know what this ‘Large Oak Seed’ was. Fortunately, they did not know what this “Large Oak Seed” was, allowing Kant to level up the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ successfully. Otherwise, Kant would have felt that he would be doomed.
[ Seed of World Tree, reduced to Tree of Life’s Seed ] The system was indeed extremely profound. As soon as Kant’s question was raised, it immediately answered him. Kant could even feel that the system was sending a sense of regret to his mind.
Looking at the words on his retina, Kant was dumbstruck.
“The World Tree, is it the kind of World Tree that can directly derive worlds on tree?” Kant swallowed his saliva and looked at the bright red seed the size of a football in the treasure chest, feeling extremely shocked.
“What a pity, what a pity. I actually had such a precious treasure and didn’t know about it, so I forcefully demoted it to a Tree of Life! I don’t know if there’s a way to level it up again, so that it can become a Seed of World Tree again.” This time, it wasn’t just the system that felt regretful. Kant himself felt a wave of regret and pity.
[ System, do you think this Seed of World Tree, which has been demoted to a Tree of Life’s Seed, can still be upgraded to a Seed of World Tree? ] The more Kant thought about it, the more unwilling he became. A World Tree might be able to directly give birth to a complete world. The world it gave birth to was not like the n.o.ble’s demiplane fiefdom in Isai. It could only exist if it was mounted on the main plane of Isai. The world it gave birth to would be a complete world, just like Isai. It could exist independently in the void. When he thought about how he had almost been able to control a complete world, but he had destroyed it with his own hands, how could Kant be reconciled? The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was.
[ The Seed of World Tree’s demotion to the Tree of Life’s Seed is irreparable. If you want to obtain the World Tree, you can nurture the Tree of Life with your heart. If things go smoothly, there is a chance for it to become a World Tree in tens or hundreds of thousands of years, giving birth to a world that belongs to it and belongs to you. ] The words on his retina were densely packed, Kant watched with utmost care.
Then, Kant exploded!
“If things go smoothly, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years?” At this moment, Kant’s heart was bleeding. His hatred towards the five world n.o.bles of South County suddenly soared. Even every single drop of the river water of the Resniston River could not wash away his anger! These five b*stards had destroyed the complete world that he could have had! Becoming the master of a world was ten thousand times, a million times more powerful than becoming a n.o.ble of this World of Isai!
Kant’s amber eyes were burning with rage! If it wasn’t for the five world n.o.bles causing trouble, he wouldn’t have needed to level up the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ necklace. If he didn’t level up the necklace, his World Tree seed wouldn’t have been demoted. As long as it was stayed in his treasury, Kant would find it sooner or later!
Kant took a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart. “I’m not angry, I’m not angry. I’ve already mobilized my troops. I’ll be able to fight with these five b*stards soon. When that time comes, I… I’ll f*cking kill these five b*stards!”
Kant slowly calmed down. He couldn’t help but ask the mage of the Enfath Empire who had been standing beside him, organizing and collecting these rare resources for him, “Mel, how did you get this tree seed?”
The World Tree Seed was an extremely rare item. It was actually collected by his subordinates through the collection of rare resources. Kant could not believe it when he thought of how this seed was obtained.
“Lord, this seed was directly dug out from the ground when Sir Firentis led his subordinates to reclaim the wasteland of the North County. At that time, even the Swadian Royal Knight used their knight swords to hack at it with all their might, but they were unable to leave any traces on this tree seed. Therefore, they simply treated this thing as a rare resource and sent it to me. In truth, we are unable to detect any extraordinary powers within this tree seed. This time, seeing that Lord Kant is in urgent need of rare resources, I had someone take it out to make up the numbers!” Mel respectfully answered Kant’s question.
“North County Wasteland, make up the numbers…” Kant helplessly waved his hand. “Alright, Mel, that’s it. Send someone to take these chests away, leaving only this treasure chest containing the tree seed. You can also leave!”
“The seed has already been demoted. This matter has already become a foregone conclusion. There’s no turning back. Moreover, if it wasn’t for this seed, I might have already been killed by the five world n.o.bles. Compared to a possible World Tree, my own life is more important. Otherwise, if I die, even if this Seed of World Tree is successfully cultivated, what does that have to do with me?” Kant gradually calmed his thoughts, he was no longer too angry, but his hatred towards the five world n.o.bles deepened.
In the end, if it weren’t for the five world n.o.bles causing trouble, Kant would have been able to keep the World Tree seed safe and sound.
[ System, help me display the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ attribute again. I was too focused on the World Tree seed and didn’t check it carefully. ] Kant felt that the World Tree seed was extraordinary, seeing that it wasn’t turned into a pile of ashes or dust after being absorbed by the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ necklace but it only shrunk. Kant immediately s.h.i.+fted his attention to the Seed of World Tree. Now that the matter regarding the World Tree had come to an end, Kant could check the leveled up necklace again.
The system once again displayed the attributes of the ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ necklace on Kant’s retina.
Kant took a good look and found that the necklace had become a “viscount level” necklace. This made Kant wonder if there was a clear cla.s.sification for extraordinary items, and if the necklace was a “baron level” previously, or if it was not even a “baron”. This time, the upgrade had directly crossed the “baron” level up to the “viscount” level. The volume of the World Tree had almost shrunk by half, and it had been directly reduced to a Tree of Life. It could be seen how much extraordinary power had been extracted. Kant believed that it should be the latter. This necklace’s upgrade had directly skipped the “baron” level to the “viscount” level. Otherwise, why didn’t the necklace indicate “baron level” before?
Then, Kant carefully checked the special effect of this necklace. Now, the special effect of ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’ had increased from the previous three to five.
“Tranquil mind”, “Serenity’s Protection”, and “Glory”, these three special effects didn’t have any changes when looking at the special effect description. However, through the “Tranquil Mind” effect, Kant knew that the “Tranquil Mind” effect should have increased by many times when he experienced it first-hand. At least the deep and pure dark aura from the north, which had originally tempted him to exceed his limits, gave him the feeling that it was like a gentle breeze that could not shake his will in the slightest.
Therefore, Kant believed that “Serenity’s Protection” must have been strengthened by a lot too. Although the cooldown time was still one week, the strength of the attacks that could be defended against must have increased by a lot. As for “Glory”, it was just a decoration. Until Kant gathered the “Glory” component of the extraordinary set, he couldn’t really activate this special effect.
At this moment, Glory. Protection of Serenity had two additional special effects.
Protector Sequence 1 – War Spirit: Active special effect. The wearer could directly summon their own protector – War spirit, number 100. The strength of the war spirit was one level lower than the wearer.
Looking at the name of this special effect, there would a “2” for this special effect. Perhaps when the necklace was upgraded in the future, special effects like “Protector Sequence 2″and “Protector Sequence 3” would appear.
Looking at the special effect on his retina, some thoughts appeared in Kant’s mind.
More than a year ago, Kant had eliminated the G.o.d of War, Edmund. Edmund had once made a desperate gamble and used a huge killing move. That killing move had even fused the 100 holy spirits of the G.o.d of War into it. The final result was the 100 holy spirits disappeared into the green light of the “Serenity’s Protection” special effect that was triggered by this move.
At that time, Kant thought that the holy spirits had been destroyed, but now it seemed that these holy spirits had been directly absorbed by the Glory. Protection of Serenity necklace. Now, it should have been transformed into this “Protector Sequence 1- War Spirit” special effect.
Whether it was or not, he would know once he tried it!
This special effect didn’t specify a cooldown time, which meant that this special effect didn’t have a cooldown time.
With a thought from Kant, the special effect of the necklace, “Protector Sequence 1- War Spirit”, was successfully activated. In an instant, Kant felt the power of the rules of war being rapidly extracted by the emerald necklace around his neck. Then, he saw 100 fully armed grand knights suddenly appear beside him, the peak grand knight “war spirits” were riding on tall horses. Their equipment was all made of dark red metal. Even the warhorse they were riding on was also dark red in color. At the same time, they were wearing dark red vests. It was just like the 100 holy spirits of the G.o.d of War that Kant had met in the G.o.d of War’s Divine Realm.
However, the difference between Kant’s war spirits and the holy spirits was that Kant’s war spirits emitted the aura of the power of the rules of war, while those of the holy spirits emitted the aura of the G.o.d of War, there was a difference between the two. Also, the holy spirits of the G.o.d of War wore half-covered helmets on their heads, so one could see their faces, while Kant’s war spirits wore full-covered helmets, so one could not see their faces.
Once these 100 war spirits at the peak grand knight level appeared, they stood in silence, not making a single sound. However, in this silence, they emitted a dense and heavy aura, all the ferocious and fierce aura of blood and slaughter seemed to be hidden in this silent silence.
When Kant summoned them, Kant understood how to manipulate them. He did not need to use words to give them orders. As long as Kant had an idea, they would not hesitate to carry it out. Moreover, they could exist forever. They only needed to periodically replenish the power of the rules of war for them. Even if these war spirits were killed, they only needed two hours of recovery before Kant could summon them again. And their strength was only one level lower than Kant’s. At this moment, Kant was an extraordinary knight, and these war spirits were all peak grand knights.
“Very convenient, very practical, very powerful!” Kant was very satisfied with the special effect of ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’, this was equivalent to him bringing along an extremely elite troop of 100 heavy cavalries at any time. Moreover, this troop’s strength was extremely strong, and there was no worry that it would not be able to keep up with his strength.
“You, take off your helmet! I need to see your face!” A thought flashed through Kant’s mind, and an order was given to one of the 100 spirits of war. The war spirit did not hesitate to take off the full-body helmet he was wearing, before turning his head to face Kant, allowing Kant to see his face.
It was a familiar face. Kant naturally remembered that this face had appeared in the army of the holy spirits of the G.o.d of War.
“Alright, put on your helmet!” another thought flashed through Kant’s mind, and the war spirit put on his helmet and turned its head back.
“My guess is correct. These war spirits were indeed forged from the holy spirits of the G.o.d of war. It seems that the upgrade of ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity necklace is related to the extraordinary power it absorbs. By the way, does the holy spirit also belong to a kind of extraordinary power?” Kant said to himself.
