Chapter 432 Mythical Skill! The Crimson King Corroding All Realms! The Embryonic Tree!
(At the end of the previous chapter, the mouse's future form was slightly adjusted, becoming a deep red tree-shaped crown-like figure, which fits the setting a little. The rest of the changes are minor. Why is the muscular one not female? I'm so angry and cold. I will post a closer picture later.)
【Erosion Realm Evil God Rat】
[Attributes: Causality/Darkness/Change/Fate]
[Strength: Ultimate Moonlit Peak]
[Racial Potential: Pseudo-King Rank]
[Description: It evolved from the Thousand-Faced Soul Rat, the contracted pet of the Lord of the Gate, after devouring the [Evil God of the World] Pudding. In a state of desirelessness, it perfectly received the power of cause and effect, darkness, suffering and so on, and successfully transformed itself.]
Having received half of the authority of the night, although it could not fully digest it and occupy the source, it used its ever-changing inclusive nature to give birth to its own crimson divine prototype, triggering the evolution of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
It became a malevolent god-rat larva possessing the power to erode time, space, and worlds, capable of distorting all realms.
【Skill: Crimson Kingdom (Mythical-level skill, evolved from the fusion of Destiny's Protection and the Authority of Night. Successfully fused with its stealth ability, it gained partial access to the source of the Night's path. Wherever it stands, it becomes the Crimson Kingdom.】
It can evade all prying eyes from beneath the gods, shielding all inquiries from abilities such as fate and divination, leading them astray and plunging them into the silence of eternal night. Simultaneously, it can summon the Crimson Kingdom to descend, eroding reality into a unique domain to suppress enemies.
All damage dealt to you by Night Path skills will be forcibly reduced by more than 50%. The weaker the opponent, the more you will be reduced. At the same time, Night attribute skills will be recorded and nullified a second time.
PS: If the other half of the Night's Authority can be collected, the power of concealment can be elevated to a level undetectable by gods below the "top-tier great beings," and a complete ecological divine kingdom can be nurtured.
Three Incarnations Undying Body (Legendary Skill: With the transformation of Crimson Divinity, your immortality is enhanced. As long as your soul is not instantly destroyed by nine-tenths, you can gradually repair yourself and gain powerful vitality.)
Furthermore, having inherited the vitality of the Tai Sui and the indelible characteristics of the evil corpse, the body will also possess high-speed regeneration capabilities, capable of regenerating severed limbs. This ability will upgrade as the rank increases.
Crimson Corrosion King Tree (a semi-mythical skill, transformed from the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree by incorporating crimson divinity, inheriting all the original Thousand-Faced Soul Tree's abilities, including [Thousand Faces of Soul, Soul Clone, etc.], greatly increasing its power).
It gained the ability to perceive the world within the Mother River, to plunder the power of life, to erode cause and effect, soul, and misfortune, and to nurture a special crimson fruit by transforming the power of life, which can enhance the power of flesh and soul, and possesses the ability to parasitize all matter.
By collecting the remaining descendants of the Royal Tree, the Crimson Tree can be perfected, advanced, and eventually the complete path of the Deathly Tree can be restored, giving birth to a brand new divine tree.
Crimson Crown (Super-tier skill: Through the transformation of the Crimson Tree, a special Crimson Corrosion Crown can be generated, possessing the ability to control the mind. All living beings within a kilometer radius will be subject to a mental judgment, and those who fail the judgment will become puppets of mental enslavement.)
Possessing the ability to alter and simulate the rules of different worlds, avoiding suppression by different rules, adapting to all ecosystems and harsh environments, and existing long enough, it can simulate corresponding extraordinary organs.
The Karmic Calamity King's Disc (a legendary skill, its appearance is a broken disc inlaid with a deep red eye. When it rotates, it manipulates the power of cause and effect, misfortune, calamity, and suffering to create karmic obstacles and calamities, which envelop all living beings. It can also form the law of cause and effect and reverse everything.)
By consuming a vast amount of existence and soul power, one can activate the Eye of Calamity, anchor cause and effect, unleash misfortune, foresee the possibility of future calamities, and resolve or avoid them in advance.
All life forms that make eye contact with it will be subject to a mental judgment, and those that fail the judgment will be stripped of their power of existence.
PS: Remember, the darkness has its limits. The greater the distortion of cause and effect, the wider the scope involved, and the greater the likelihood of being discovered by [the authorities].
Existence Erasure (A legendary skill that allows the user to erase all traces of a target's existence at a certain cost, completely erasing them. All life forms associated with the target will forget them. The stronger the user and the more causal relationships involved, the greater the cost.)
He Transforms into a Free Heavenly Demon Seed (Legendary Skill: By tearing apart the soul, one can condense a crimson heavenly demon seed of their own, parasitizing and converting all life, turning them into crimson apostles).
By utilizing causal connections, one can forcibly extract their life force to nourish oneself or die in place of oneself. One can parasitize the past and future, strengthen the connection between the three bodies, and offset part of the cost of summoning their power.
Demonic seeds can house a portion of the soul and maintain the immortality of their original form, but without a physical body to stand on, they will lose their foundation and become rootless duckweed, requiring them to return quickly.
Outstanding individuals can transform into offspring of the Crimson Tree using a large amount of Existence Power or Calamity Power. This allows them to condense new avatars and reduce their own soul consumption.
Boundless Sea of Suffering (Legendary skill: can summon a nascent sea of suffering to suppress opponents, causing their will to sink. The more suffering collected, the stronger the sea of suffering becomes. It can also store one's own thoughts within it to resist attacks from the mortal world.)
Night Howler (Legendary skill: As the ruler of night, darkness, and shadow, you possess top-tier affinity, allowing you to freely control them, ignite shadows, draw out darkness, and unleash night, etc. You can also enter the corresponding elemental form to avoid physical damage.)
The Great Wish Technique (a legendary skill that allows one to make wishes of varying degrees by overdrawing one's own soul power. It can be used on oneself or an opponent, and the specific nature of the wish—whether positive or negative—is randomized.)
If one can offer enough life force, the essence of the world, or gain the approval of the Mother River, one can make a grand vow, even mortgaging the future. (PS: The more you receive, the more you give; it's an equal exchange.)
Thousand-Faced Furnace (Legendary skill, based on the Three Divine Finger, it reverses some of the hundred aspects of the furnace. Collecting more Divine Fingers allows for further deduction, thus forming the true Thousand-Faced Furnace. All the face-peeling techniques of the Divine Finger that are melted are recorded within it. It also melts other life forms within it, and can be used to create a thousand-faced weapon suitable for oneself by changing and using their abilities.)
[Evaluation: It is the cause of all calamities and the result of all chaos.]
[Supreme-level Secret Food Effect: Can upgrade a legendary skill to a mythical skill, anchored by truth, and permanently halve the skill's cost.]
"It's so luxurious!" Lu Yu exclaimed, marveling at the sight.
The evolved mice cannot be described as having undergone a complete transformation; rather, they are akin to ancient humans drastically altering higher-dimensional life forms.
There are eleven skills in total, including one mythical skill, one semi-mythical skill, one super-tier skill, and all the others are legendary skills.
Any one of them would be enough to make other beast tamers look up in awe.
Moreover, it involves top-level rules and has four main attributes.
In theory, a pet can typically have a maximum of three main attributes to form a stable structure. Any more than that would break the balance and make it more prone to mutation.
However, the rat possesses the power of endless transformation, and its body is close to chaos, which allows it to accommodate these attributes and achieve unity, thus unleashing its formidable strength.
"Mythical skills are abilities possessed by gods or divine beings?" Lu Yu pondered.
Mythical skills were the highest level skills he had ever seen, bar none.
Although I haven't actually experienced it, judging from the divine beings and the several encounters with the Mother of Twilight, it's clear that without the barriers of the mortal world, it would be an absolutely overwhelming force.
If the true king embodies the laws of rules, then they represent authority!
Especially for pets traveling through the night, encountering a mouse isn't necessarily a sign of a natural enemy, it's more like...
I've found a living father!
The potential of a pseudo-king-level race means that even if it just lazes around and waits to die, it can still possess combat power that is infinitely close to the pinnacle of the mortal world when it reaches adulthood!
Even if the direct descendants of the true king were nurtured day and night by the law, it would be difficult for them to inherit such high talent.
Even the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King only entered this realm by burning his life force.
The Thousand-Faced Tree has transformed directly into the King Tree, a title that only some legendary ancient trees or the first generation descendants of the Seven Great Royal Trees are qualified to possess, as they have power approaching that of the Royal Tree.
The combination of the two results in terrifying combat power!
Before evolution, the mouse was at the bottom of the team; after evolution, it immediately secured a top-three position, and it's not necessarily third.
However... Lu Yu soon faced a problem.
Which skill should I upgrade?
The bonus from an additional Mythic skill is something that no amount of Legendary skills can compare to.
But he was torn about which option to choose.
After all, every skill of the evolved mouse is excessively powerful, making it a true all-rounder with no weaknesses.
If the skill cost is halved when the Forbidden Truth Gift is obtained, the overall effect will be even more powerful than [Crimson Country].
Therefore, the best skills are those that can bring about a qualitative change at this stage.
The first one to be excluded is the [Crimson Corrosion King Tree]. As a semi-mythical skill, it can be transformed by collecting other royal tree descendants, so there is no need to waste a precious spot.
The ability 【Existence Erasure】 sounds terrifying, and it is in practice as well. It can forcibly erase a person's concept of existence. Theoretically, it could be used against great beings or even forbidden beings, burying them completely so they can never return.
But Lu Yu can't even defeat an ecological master right now, so thinking about how to bury a great being... is a bit too far-fetched.
If you're not at the level of a god, how is defeating someone and keeping it a secret any different from hiding your true identity?
How can I still act cool?
As an ordinary person, Lu Yu decisively refused.
The 【Karma King's Plate】is essentially a causal companion weapon, but the corresponding cost is also considerable, though it is currently sufficient to support its use at this stage.
Given a normal hamster's brainpower, the instruction manual alone would be enough for it to study for a long time, so we'll skip that.
The same principle applies to 【Boundless Sea of Suffering】 and 【Night Howler】; they are sufficient for use up to the level of a True King.
Especially the former, rushing to upgrade could easily encroach on the path of the Lord of Thorns and attract the opponent's attention.
After all, He is different from the Mother of Twilight; He is a true god recognized by the Alliance, and the Church of Thorns has a huge influence, which can easily put the saintess in a dilemma.
Although this expression is quite nice, Lu Yu has never liked trouble.
As for the [Great Vow Technique], it is somewhat similar to the abilities of Buddhism in the past, especially those two in the prehistoric setting, who directly made an IOU to the Heavenly Dao and instantly became saints.
In some ways, it's even more powerful than words becoming law!
However, even with upgrades, the principle of equivalent exchange still applies, even if the cost is halved by the power of truth...
But even a mouse can be completely manipulated by a mouse clone. If it could be bought on credit... wouldn't it be forced to sell itself?
The [Thousand Faces Furnace] ability is quite interesting. Although it may attract the attention of the Faceless God, that guy is a fun-loving person, so he usually won't get into trouble.
However, it requires big data... that is, imprinting information on all living beings, which requires a lot of time and energy, so it is not suitable.
The "Triple Immortal Body" is actually quite good. If it is taken a step further, it is highly likely to give rise to the ability of super-fast regeneration or even regeneration from a drop of blood, greatly improving the survival ability of the mouse.
but……
"It's still not as good as the [Otherworldly Demon Seed]!"
Lu Yu sighed. Instead of trying to increase his health regeneration speed, he might as well just put on a resurrection armor.
The more clones a mouse has, the less likely it is to die!
Halving the cost would make this skill incredibly powerful, since even if your main character is useless, you can still level up your alt... cough cough...
Lu Yu stopped his thoughts of persecuting the rat. The power of forbidden truth descended, and the skill bar in front of him began to blur. The aura on the rat in the distance further increased, reflecting a dense array of blurry, deep red shadows that occupied the past and the future.
Twisted and chaotic, reflecting all living beings, it was as if an ancient demon had descended upon the world.
The entire upgrade process was quick; in just a few breaths, brand new skills appeared before my eyes.
【He-Transformation Free Heaven Demon King - Crimson King: Mythical-level skill, which, based on the original skill, gave birth to the 【Crimson King】 rank.
It is the embodiment of all chaos, possessing the ability to create incarnations, manipulate conspiracies, and control madness. It can actively propel the growth of catastrophes and conspiracies, and absorb their power upon success.
It can create the [Crimson King Demon Seed], which can parasitize across three lifetimes, including the past, future, and all spaces. Wherever there is chaos and human intrigue, the demon seed can survive, and even cause and effect and destiny cannot erase it.
The Crimson King Demon Seed possesses extreme adaptability. It can be placed in different worlds, where it will actively adapt to different rules, eventually eroding the world and sacrificing itself to the original body.
It can absorb the dust of history and the light of the future to strengthen itself, but there is a chance that it will attract malice.
A sufficient number of demonic seeds can erode and replace the world's will, forming a false "Heavenly Way" that shepherds all living beings and reaps the power of conspiracy and chaos.
All demonic seeds can serve as coordinates for the main body, allowing it to descend regardless of distance.
Users can tear apart a portion of their soul to condense a high-level [Child of the Crimson King]. These can evade the gaze of history, delve into the past, and occupy more ancient realms. Or they can travel to the future to explore more secrets. As long as the Child of the Crimson King does not perish, it will return with its harvest every so often.
It could be due to the enhancements from items, combat experience, spells, secrets, etc., that one has a chance to uncover things that cannot be born in the mortal world. [PS: Investment is risky; you may lose everything.]
By collecting enough Crimson King power, one can borrow the power of the past and future, and even overlap three incarnations to enter a special [Crimson King] state, greatly amplifying combat power.
Due to the judgment of forbidden truth, the cost of this skill is permanently halved.
"This guy has really turned into a demon king!"
Lu Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, and found the skill descriptions quite interesting.
Not to mention that it can create countless incarnations, parasitize all things, and drive the birth of conspiracies and great calamities in order to gain power.
It could even replace a world, construct a false heavenly order, and raise living beings as livestock.
In a serious story, they would be the perfect template for the ultimate villain!
From now on, the Rat's demonic seed is no longer limited to parasitizing life in the present world; it can even go further, traveling to the past and future, and occupying more coordinates.
Compared to the infinitely possible future, the past has already become fixed.
The reason why great beings are powerful is that they occupy the source of the past, can extend into countless futures, and continuously strengthen themselves.
So what if you are exceptionally talented?
The rules and paths you want to follow are already occupied. If you want to become king, you have to bypass those "great terrors" at the source. It's almost impossible to go any further.
After all, the strength you strive to improve is helping them perfect their power.
Unless they are buried by the old day or shift to other blank paths, they are likely to become food.
Even Lu Yu, who possesses some omniscient abilities, can only choose to take a detour and avoid direct confrontation with them before he has sufficient strength.
However, the appearance of the second mythical skill of the mouse means that it can pry open a crack in the hands of these great beings, and then forcibly squeeze in to steal their power little by little.
Seize the ancient, delve into the future.
In this way, Lu Yu's strategic planning ability is no longer limited to the present, but can influence the entire timeline like top-tier beings or even true taboos.
From a chess novice who could barely play, he jumped to become a junior privileged user.
"However, to achieve this, even greater strength is needed; otherwise, it's easy to be crushed!"
Lu Yu's gaze was deep; although it was quite difficult, at least he had a direction.
You can explore the true secrets of the ancient times, even the mythical era, and study the layout of the Mother of Twilight.
Other than that,
【Child of the Red King】is very similar to a certain mini-game from my past life called 【Travel Frog】... Now it should be called Travel Mouse.
As long as the mouse stays at home, it can wait for its mouse sons to bring back things as a tribute.
For example, intercepting some rare and precious materials that have long been extinct, burying them in the past, and then digging them up in the present world.
It can also delve into the future and obtain products from that future.
Even multiple aliases can be solidified in the distant past, further refining the fake into the real.
The only pity is that the mouse's potential is still at the pseudo-king level, and Lu Yu has figured out why.
The position of true king in this world is not hereditary. Apart from certain special forbidden techniques, under normal circumstances, the maximum potential of a mortal's life is at the pseudo-king level. To advance further, one needs to verify one's own path and condense the laws.
This is the inevitable path for any worldly overlord!
Even those who are followers of the gods need a portion of the gods' authority to be granted the title of king if they do not rely on their own efforts.
But you will be completely under their control and have no autonomy!
However, now, the starting point for the mouse is the finish line that others cannot reach.
With such a significant advantage, numerous powerful skills, and a vast number of rat clones assisting in cultivation, if even the rats cannot break through the racial limit, condense the law, and become king, it can only mean...
It's so bad!
Even if someone is truly useless, they can still be crowned king or even go further through the power of the night, but that would most likely lead to a confrontation with the Hidden Corpse Emperor.
The struggle for power can be extremely cruel!
boom!
As the hamster progressed, the Rancher's Puzzle also improved, significantly boosting Lu Yu's overall strength.
at this time,
Lu Yu looked at the silent mouse sitting on the crimson throne, its face no longer showing its former innocence, and behind it, countless crimson shadows twisted and shrouded the world, like an ancient demon king awakened from ancient times.
Despite having regained her intelligence, she never approached Lu Yu, appearing somewhat distant and aloof!
He gave a thumbs-up and praised:
"That's cool!"
"Hehe, I've finally heard you say that, Xiu Ren. My legs are almost numb from posing like this, I'm so tired."
"Spider Sister, Egg, Paper Knight, and Red Hare, do you think I look handsome now? From now on, I'll protect you all!" The mouse instantly lost its composure, all the strange phenomena behind it disappeared, and then it sprawled on the throne without any regard for its image, crossed its legs, and waved its little paws enthusiastically to greet the little spiders.
It's still that narcissistic, lazy, and slovenly hamster!
"Eek!" The little spider nodded with a doting smile, indicating that it wanted an autograph, which made the mouse extremely happy.
"roar!"
Egg opened all its eyes, revealing a clear yet foolish look like that of a college student, and began to praise Mouse along with Red Hare.
Then... they quickly figured out its new capabilities.
Egg's eyes grew increasingly pleased; it already knew how to target the mouse and how to persecute it afterward.
It should be a lot of fun...
"Hmm? Why does it smell like a conspiracy?" Mouse muttered, instantly becoming alert, sensing that a conspiracy seemed to be taking shape nearby.
It originally wanted to investigate further, but Egg changed the subject, and since it was fleeting, it didn't take it to heart.
"Old habits die hard."
The paper knight watched this scene quietly, shook his head, speechless at the mouse's blind confidence, but his eyes were quite gratified.
It's good that you're back!
Guided by their owner, they will surely reach the stars, and none will be left behind.
In that time, perhaps even the gods will be able to bask in the glory of their master!
With this in mind, the Paper Knight had even more interesting and fantastical ideas coming to mind.
However, the harmonious atmosphere lasted only a few minutes before turning tense.
boom!
A powerful spiritual collision constantly stirs up strong winds that blow away dust and sand, swirling among them.
With its paws crossed, eyes gleaming arrogantly, and a slight smile playing on its lips, the mouse said softly, "Looks like everyone's getting impatient. To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for a long time too!"
"Roar!" "Of course!" "Screech!" "..."
The other pets nodded in agreement, their eyes eager to try.
They looked at Lu Yu; now that the mouse evolution was over, it was time...
The third intra-team competition has begun!
