Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 106 - Level Up!

Liesel left.

Clearly, her integration into the Celestial Team went quite smoothly. She was also quite satisfied with the team. It seemed that just one more ordinary battle would allow her to seamlessly join the Celestial Team's combat ranks. And after that…

—Our Celestial Team is finally a complete team with all the necessary equipment.

Si Ming thought of it.

He sat alone in the seat around the table.

After a series of rather pointless chats and casual conversations, the teammates gradually left, returning to their individual spaces. While the rewards from this team battle were substantial, not everyone was like him, accumulating enough resources in one go to advance further.

Two A's, one B', two C's, and a total of 80,000 bonus points.

It seems like a lot, but in reality, there's not much room for fancy tricks. No matter what the next world is like, he'll definitely need to purchase an AA-grade summoning necromancer to strengthen himself. And this is the final step in this system. After that, he'll probably have to rely solely on Siming's own creativity and imagination.

—I can't really buy a divine bloodline, can I? Sigh... But strictly speaking, this is already the least bad option.

The divinity of death surged within him. After unlocking the third stage of his genetic potential, besides the near-supernatural ability of "Ultimate Instinct," the strength of his soul and the computational power of his brain had both received significant boosts. Si Ming was confident that he could now absorb even more of the divinity of death at once and even develop new characteristics. But before that—

The divine exchange screen lowered down.

—【Advanced Necromancer Summoner—derived from 'Pan-Fantasy,' the pinnacle of this system. The exchanger will be able to summon fire and storm elements, awaken ghosts, and significantly enhance the strength of existing summons. In addition, the exchanger will gain the special spell 'Resurrection,' which can instantly revive the body of a dead person and summon their soul. If the soul retains over 90% of its integrity after being summoned, the dead person will be successfully resurrected.】

—[To redeem this enhancement, you need to complete 2 A-rank side quests and earn 30000 reward points. You also need to have an intermediate summoning necromancer as a prerequisite.]

Thirty thousand points isn't exactly expensive. Considering the attribute boosts after the purchase, Si Ming's remaining fifty thousand reward points are more than enough to raise all attributes to two thousand, and he might even have ten thousand reward points left over. If he were willing to grit his teeth and invest all his points in a single attribute, he could even raise his mental strength to the point where he could directly purchase mental strength user skills.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to do that.

"Resurrection spell." Si Ming examined the items in the exchange list.

This ability seems powerful and wonderful. But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that it's not very useful. The average enhancement level of the Celestial Team should reach the A-level after this battle. With A-level combat power, they will naturally encounter A-level opponents. And as opponents possessing A-level or higher strength, they will likely not lack soul-destroying techniques.

"Perhaps it has other uses."

Thoughts turn.

Unlike his other companions, Si Mingming didn't seem to need to adjust or relax. Since the things that needed strengthening were already determined, why not take that crucial step earlier?
He then looked up at the large sphere of light above the square.

“Buy,” he said.

The beam of light then descended.

The vast resources of reincarnation were thus transformed into an even larger and more abundant energy. During the fifteen-minute-long cleansing of the enhanced beam of light, Si Ming clearly felt every cell in his body disintegrating and reshaping. The abundant, exclusive energy derived from the enhanced abilities surged wildly in his mind like a boiling sea.

The main attribute increased more than expected.

Key attributes such as intelligence and mental strength jumped directly from just over 1300 to around 2000 points. And since everything is already like this…

"God, enhance my six-dimensional attributes. Raise all attributes below 2,500 points to 2,500."

—【Application accepted. Reincarnator Si Ming has paid a total of 38012 reward points for attribute enhancement…】

An even more intense radiance descended. The resilience of his soul grew. The structure of his body shifted. The form of his cells and the internal framework of his bones constantly changed and were reshaped. He ignored the excruciating pain and numbness that would have tormented an ordinary person to death in an instant, but which posed little challenge to Si Ming. When everything quieted down, Si Ming raised his hand and looked at his exceptionally smooth palm.

Clean, smooth. The pores, which need adjustment, have been sealed off. The abundant blood and qi surge and flow under the skin like the Yangtze River, and each drop of blood carries a 'heavy' weight, like lead and mercury.

Refining marrow to frost, refining blood to mercury syrup, achieving a flawless body, roaring like a dragon and howling like a tiger.

Even though Si Ming had never read that martial arts manual or practiced a single move of martial arts, his body, with 2,500 points in all attributes, was as strong and robust as a born martial saint. After all, the core of cultivation in the Yangshen world lies in having sufficient resources.

well.

A casual punch can generate a tangible shockwave without requiring any energy. A step, a burst of power, and a short-range spin can even trigger a sonic boom.

All martial arts in this world cannot compare to innate superhuman strength of equal measure. Because a body possessing innate superhuman strength is bound to generate extraordinary abilities.

"My five senses and six perceptions have all been greatly enhanced."

Perception extends outwards, and the third-tier computing power can instantly analyze the surrounding environment and calculate the most suitable method of leveraging its strength in battle. Unstable factors and subtle details hidden in the minute will also be clearly and quickly discovered. More importantly, even maintaining this combat stance, or even maintaining the unlocked position for a long time, will not consume much energy.

After all, his skin has already been transformed.

The structure of the pores has transformed, becoming a flawless skin akin to that of a near-immortal, yet still exhibiting a unidirectional energy absorption characteristic, much like a permeable membrane. Energy from the outside can be freely absorbed, while energy from the inside can only be released with permission. Energy utilization has thus been greatly improved, and this sufficiently robust body naturally does not tire easily.

as well as……

"Am I still... a pure human being?"

Si Ming only purchased the summoning-type necromancer skill, a feature derived from the Diablo universe, but it was labeled by the main god as a pan-fantasy external enhancement. Strictly speaking, this kind of magical enhancement doesn't involve physical or bloodline modifications. And indeed, his improvements to attributes outside his mental domain were primarily supplemented by Nightfall Battle Aura. Considering the ever-changing nature of Nightfall Battle Aura, perhaps he could still make some adjustments to his bloodline.

"That's not necessary for now."

With a quick change of heart, he realized that the B branch still had its uses, but there were simply no superior bloodlines available to purchase and upgrade the remaining two C branches. Meanwhile, Si Ming stopped after slightly adapting to this deeply enhanced body. His thoughts sank, gathering on the necromantic aura gathered deep within his mind.

The quality of the necromantic aura increased by approximately three times. As for its quantity…

"The total amount of necromantic energy is about seventeen times that of the BB era."

The pools turned into lakes, and the streams became rivers. It's hard to imagine that this is an AA-level energy reserve. But even more crucial is...

"The nature has changed."

The internal structure of the necromantic aura underwent a large-scale adjustment as the enhancement level increased. It no longer corroded flesh and blood as before, to the point that Si Ming usually had to cover it with his Night Battle Aura. A vigorous vitality overflowed from that dark aura, and this, perhaps, was the secret to its ability to perform resurrection spells.

It is no longer purely necromantic.

Now, it might be more appropriate to call it 'the aura of life and death'—a pure new life born from the ultimate convergence of death. And it is precisely because it can bring life that a new summoning list can be released.

"Summon Storm Elemental".

An aura began to surge.

The principles and process of summoning were clearly manifested before Si Ming's eyes.

The reason why the aura of the dead can summon rock giants and steel golems is that still soil and metal can actually be regarded as the remains of the earth. However, the wind, which always keeps flowing, can never be regarded as 'residue of the sky'.

Pure death therefore cannot evoke it.

But now, death contains the power of life—it merges into the air, converging with a flowing wind. And the next moment, with this converged wind as its core, a magnificent storm suddenly rises above the pure white main square!
'Boom—' A fierce wind howled.

A colossal storm statue, tens of meters tall, thus appeared under Siming's will. Blazing lightning danced incessantly within the massive form formed by the storm. Azure currents collided from time to time, exploding into spectacular flashes of light.

Even without controlling it in battle, Siming could discern its destructive power far surpassing that of the Stone Iron Colossus. With the spiral staff activated, this colossal storm colossus drastically shrunk in size while maintaining its strength. From a formidable force of tens of meters, it compressed to a mere few meters, allowing for easy movement. It could then move swiftly across the land and sky, attacking any target Siming desired with the ease of an all-pervasive whirlwind.

The lightning, surging within the storm, transformed into a concentrated mass of plasma. Siming raised his staff, and a solid mountain, hundreds of meters high, descended in the radiance of the supreme god. The next instant, this rapidly moving plasma storm slammed into the mountain at an unexpectedly high speed!
It was a massive explosion.

The explosion was powerful enough to crack and shatter the sturdy hill, causing it to collapse extensively. The power of the Evil Explosion spell was amplified beyond expectation at that moment. And this was undoubtedly a powerful offensive technique that could rival Sima's current strength!

The power boost from summoning is definitely worth its price. As for the remaining unused fire and water elements, even without trying them one by one, their effects can be predicted.

So……

The energies of life and death flow back.

The fighting spirit in the darkness completely transformed.

A massive vortex suddenly formed around Si Ming. The next moment, the spiky battle spirit crystal that only manifested deep within Si Ming's body when his battle aura appeared began to collapse rapidly inward!
