Chapter 66 A New Beginning
However, this heartache quickly subsided because Karl discovered that although the bonuses from family and territory had been reduced, the effects seemed to be stronger.
"A one percent bonus doesn't seem like much, but a ten percent bonus seems to be something else."
Karl carefully sensed the changes within himself and suddenly realized that he was originally ten meters below the elemental ocean, but now he had dropped a little over a meter below.
"Is this a comprehensive boost?"
Karl was truly astonished at this moment.
If the previous bonuses could only be reflected in cultivation, then the current 11% bonus can be reflected in one's own combat power.
At a depth of eleven meters, the divine power is purer than at a depth of ten meters. This means that when Karl uses the same amount of divine power and the same amount of profound mystery, his power will be stronger than that of others.
"So, does that mean I can understand why I won the match?"
Besides the difference in divine power, Karl's physical strength is also one-tenth stronger than others of the same level. Don't underestimate this one-tenth.
It should be noted that after Lin Lei became a god, the bonus from his dragon transformation was greatly reduced. If it weren't for the enhancement provided by the blood essence of a god-level being, Lin Lei's dragon transformation after becoming a god would have had virtually no effect.
"Great Accomplished Sacred Body, Initial Stage Divine Body".
Karl sensed it and understood that the Great Completion Holy Body corresponded to the Holy Domain True Body. In the initial stage of the Holy Body, his physical body was just an ordinary Holy Domain level body. Without using battle qi, he could only clash with the early stage of the Holy Domain. However, the Great Completion Holy Body could go head-to-head with the peak of the Holy Domain.
"It's about 95% of the standard."
This is quite terrifying. At the very least, Karl's physical body is probably no weaker than that of a top-tier Saint Realm expert like Fane.
"The next step beyond the Great Completion Sacred Body is the Sacred Body Perfection. At this stage, the physical body is flawless, and one can probably be compared to those Sacred Domain Limit experts who have comprehended advanced mysteries. Beyond that, the Sacred Body will transform into a Divine Body."
"I just don't know whether the Holy Body will directly transform into a low-level Divine Body after it transforms into a Divine Body, or whether it will attract the laws of heaven and earth. We can try that out then."
In addition to changes in his own attributes, Karl can also simultaneously unlock two wind-type mystical arts, as well as a new type of law-based mystical arts.
Without hesitation, Karl directly purchased the Quick Mystery and Dimensional Mystery, one low-priced and the other medium-priced, and the price was nothing to Karl at present.
However, Karl did not expect that after the purchase, the progress would not start from 1/1,000,000 as he had imagined, but rather he would make considerable progress in understanding the material immediately.
The Mystery of Speed: 163,059 / 1,000,000
Dimensional Mysteries: 72,673 / 5,000,000
"A pleasant surprise," Carl grinned.
Besides purchasing the two great mysteries, Karl now also needs to consider the second pantheon.
In this respect, Karl-Thomas had little reason to hesitate and made a decision in a short time.
After his soul was split in two, he was only 30% stronger than a god of the same level who had become a god within his body. His attack and defense were only 30% of the level, so naturally he would not choose the fire element law.
After all, the Law of Fire also contains speed, but the Law of Wind is a continuous increase in speed, while the Law of Heat is an indirect burst. Karl is satisfied with his physical attacks, so when he is not considering soul attacks, he should naturally focus on defense.
"The Law of Water Systems"
Even if Karl wanted to hesitate, he probably wouldn't be able to. After all, he already had a strong Wind Law in terms of attack, so naturally he needed to consider defense.
The water element law is the most advanced and comprehensive law for both soul and material defense, making it Karl's obvious choice.
"When it's time to attack, I'll mainly use my wind-type divine clone; when it's time to defend, I'll mainly use my water-type divine clone."
Upon opening the system shop, Karl discovered that after purchasing the Seed of Water, he could no longer only purchase Water Elements as before. In addition to Water Elements, he could also purchase Water Body Technique, Ice Sharpness, and Mist Illusion. However, apart from these four profound mysteries, he still could not purchase the last two profound mysteries of the Water Law.
"Is it because my level of understanding is not high enough?"
Karl quickly deduced this from his experience of purchasing the profound mysteries of the Law of Wind, since the Wind element is the only one among the seven laws to possess nine profound mysteries.
Compared to the six mysteries of other laws, the wind law, which possesses nine mysteries, is easier to comprehend. However, at the same level, wind-type deities are also weaker.
Because there are no profound mysteries in the laws of wind.
"It seems that even lower-level gods with normal talent will find it difficult to comprehend advanced mysteries, and even some weaker mid-level gods will probably find it difficult to comprehend them."
Carl drew this conclusion based on the experience in the original work.
After all, the soul of a god-level expert has already undergone a transformation, and the so-called superior elemental affinity before becoming a god is nothing compared to the soul of a god-level expert.
What limits one's abilities is likely the strength of one's soul. With each advancement in divine status, one's soul also undergoes a transformation. The deeper one's foundation, the greater the improvement brought about by the transformation. Perhaps this is the most crucial point.
Of course, this does not mean that those below the intermediate god level cannot comprehend advanced mysteries; it simply means that if one's realm is insufficient, even if one comprehends advanced mysteries, their growth will be extremely slow.
"Since we've chosen defense as the primary focus," Karl glanced at the four water-based mystical arts and quickly made his decision.
The Enchanting Fog!
In terms of pure defense, water-based techniques and water elemental magic are naturally the top priorities, but the choice should be based on one's own situation.
Defense doesn't necessarily mean taking a direct hit; being unable to be attacked is also a form of defense.
The illusion of fog is something that each person comprehends and experiences differently, leading to different interpretations of its mysteries.
In Karl's vision, the Illusion of Mist can form a misty environment within a divine realm, centered on itself. As long as the level of profound understanding is sufficient, it can prevent the soul power probing of other experts of the same level. At that time, the Illusion of Mist can not only be used as a means of evasion, but also to conceal itself and provide a certain degree of assistance against attacks from the Law of Wind.
With the mystical matters closed, Karl also focused his attention on the artifacts in the shop. After becoming a god, the shop would naturally be updated accordingly, and Karl had already seen quite a few good items.
"A low-level offensive artifact, a low-level defensive artifact, a refined amethyst, a spatial ring, a soul bead... and even a soul defensive artifact!"
Karl was dazzled by the sights, especially the soul defense artifact, which greatly tempted him.
No sooner said than done, a small portion of his points vanished instantly, and a ring-shaped soul defense artifact appeared in Karl's hand.
