Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 14 - Time to Become a Necromancer
Si Ming felt that he might have made a mistake.

Perhaps there's something wrong with his hearing, or perhaps some of the options are incorrect. What...what did he hear?
"Does not meet the prerequisites?"

Incomprehensible.

But it's not that it's inexplicable.

Perhaps his talent was stronger than he had expected, so much so that his battle aura, which was only at the D level, was used to achieve a combat effect that surpassed that of the ordinary C level!
—【To exchange for intermediate-level battle aura, you need to complete one C-level side quest and earn 1500 reward points. Furthermore, the exchanger must possess at least a D-level battle aura foundation.】

—【Si Ming, the Reincarnator, does not meet the prerequisites for exchanging for this enhancement!】

well.

Si Ming raised his hand and spent 1 reward point to purchase a high-end office desk. He sat down in the executive chair, propped his elbows on the desk, and rested his chin and lips on his hands. Then, he pondered.

"has a problem."

There's no way my Night Battle Qi couldn't be below D-rank. Yet, the Battle Qi of the Main God Card is compatible with almost all 'Qi'-related systems... Wait, could it be that my Battle Qi is special and incompatible with even the standard version of Battle Qi?

"God, is it possible to exchange for basic battle qi?"

— [To exchange for basic Battle Aura, you need to complete one D-rank side quest and earn 800 reward points. All prerequisites for exchange have been met. Exchange now?]

"........."

"God, is it possible to exchange for intermediate-level internal energy?"

— [To exchange for intermediate-level internal energy, you need to complete one C-level side quest and earn 1200 reward points. The exchanger must also possess at least a D-level internal energy base.]

—【Si Ming, the Reincarnator, does not meet the prerequisites for exchanging for this enhancement!】

"It's a huge problem."

Si Ming continued to think.

"God, can I exchange for angelic bloodline without any compatibility conflicts?"

—【To exchange for the basic Angel bloodline, one C-rank side quest is required, rewarding 2500 points. This enhancement will not cause energy conflicts with the Reincarnator Siming's bloodline.】

There are no compatibility issues... So, how about switching to an enhancement that is incompatible with all common energy systems?
"God, can I exchange for the Bloodline of the Energy Devouring Troll without any compatibility conflicts or weakening of my strength?"

— [To exchange for the basic Energy-Devouring Troll bloodline, one C-rank side quest is required, rewarding 1800 points. This enhancement will not cause energy conflicts or weakening of the Reincarnator Siming's bloodline.]

The Energy-Eating Troll bloodline is a special one, possessing extreme physique and self-healing abilities. However, it is incompatible with all energy systems. Acquiring a troll bloodline means only being able to become a muscle-bound henchman equipped with various technological weapons. But…

"...Can this really work?"

Si Ming selected several special enhancements and asked the God of War questions, only to receive the same answer each time. The God of War did not believe that the Dark Night Battle Qi within him conflicted with these energy systems that covered various unrelated domains and even had demanding prerequisites. Even the Divine Descent Physique, which was clearly only available to those with a pure and immaculate body—essentially a blank slate—was something he was able to acquire smoothly.

The main god shouldn't be so incompetent as to be unable to recognize the fighting spirit of the night.

So……

"...What kind of thing have I actually mastered?"

do not know.

What is certain, however, is that the Night Battle Aura is indeed his unique advantage—whether it's even called Battle Aura is another matter. Its ability to coexist with various strange enhancements alone makes it worthy of Si Ming's special attention.

After all, another enhancement that is compatible with almost all systems is called 'gene lock'.

If we consider another, even more advanced one, it would be the 'Light of the Soul'.

—Has the cheat finally arrived?
—Or am I only now realizing that this Dark Night Battle Aura I've cultivated is my cheat code?

A thought flashed through his mind. Unnecessary details were skipped. Siming had always been a practical player, and since he possessed a unique advantage here, he should naturally adopt a suitable deck construction.

We need to get some wheelchairs.

Let's first check if any of those external enhancement systems are still in my memory...

—【Psycho-Powered Floating Cannons—derived from 'pan-science fiction,' a psycho-sensing system composed of one thousand interconnected floating cannon units. The wearer will automatically acquire the corresponding level of psycho-power, but it requires continuous energy consumption to operate effectively. If the energy is depleted, it will actively drain the wearer's life force. Purchasing this item requires completing one A-rank side quest and earning 8000 reward points.】

Yes, but the price has gone up. It seems to be a more balanced version; there aren't many loopholes to exploit.

but--

—【Shadow Walker—derived from 'Pan-Fantasy,' a special skill that allows the user to blend into shadows or dark areas. In this state, the user gains significantly increased stealth and is immune to all physical damage. Only supernatural attacks can harm the user.】

—[Purchasing this enhancement requires completing one C-rank side quest and earning 2000 reward points. It also requires possessing the potential of a Spiritual Power user.]

That's true, but the C-level enhancement doesn't offer much of an advantage in mobility. Besides, it's not like I don't possess stealth and breath-holding techniques.

"This doesn't look like the original first-generation chart." Si Ming frowned, although he had forgotten many details. But he still remembered that the total number of enhancements in the first generation was actually quite small. The total number of B-grade enhancements was only 'dozens', but now he could see hundreds or even thousands of different types of enhancements with just a casual glance.

All sorts of things, flashy and bizarre. Some of them Si Ming had heard of, while others were strange enhancements he had absolutely no recollection of. He vaguely remembered things like Watchers and Magical Girls, but things like Information Wizards and Metamorphosis Martial Arts were completely baffling to him.

He glanced at them all. Some could be enhanced, while others weren't suitable for him. But after browsing through them all, he finally found the supermodel enhancement that suited him best.

—【Junior Necromancer Summoner—Source: 'Pan-Fantasy'. Exchanging this item will grant the special energy 'Necromantic Aura' and the skill 'Summon Necromancer'. You can summon necromancers of a specified size by consuming corpse materials and Necromantic Aura. You can also infuse Necromantic Aura into fresh corpses to create low-level necromancer units such as 'zombies' or 'wisps', which will obey the caster's commands like summoned creatures.】

—【Purchasing this enhancement requires completing 2 C-rank side quests and earning 4000 reward points. An additional 800 reward points can be spent to acquire a dedicated necromancer storage space. This space allows, and only allows, the caster to store necromancers under their control.】

The third-generation wheelchair enhancement seems to differ in content. He recalls this enhancement being based on the Diablo universe. And the price is slightly lower.

Perhaps it adjusted prices and balanced profits, much like telekinetic floating cannons. In any case, this legal profession certainly suited his special abilities.

He had already made some guesses about the characteristics of his Night-based battle aura. Only under one condition could this power be compatible with all energy systems.

Even if you guess wrong and make a mistake in your judgment, the chosen enhancement still has ample staying power.

So……

"God, exchange for a beginner-level summoning necromancer."

— [Accepted.]

The light fell down.

The enhanced power instantly filled Si Ming's body and mind.

Intelligence and mental strength increased by nearly two hundred points in an instant. Nerve reflexes also improved. The remaining three dimensions also received considerable benefits.

Power surged through my entire body.

At the point between his eyebrows, a sudden chill surged forth—the energy known as 'necromantic aura' surged and expanded continuously, and in just a moment, it possessed a reserve comparable to the Dark Night Battle Qi within Si Ming's body.

The enhancement of a supreme god always directly reaches the minimum standard of a designated rank. This also means that the Night Battle Qi possessed by Si Ming has indeed touched the peak of C and the bottom of CC.

The enhancement is over.

Si Ming's body landed lightly from mid-air.

The method for 'summoning the undead' was now clearly clear in my mind. And all that was needed next was—

"God, purchase two standard corpses for summoning."

Two pale bodies materialized in the falling light, and an aura of death surged into one of them. The next moment, the fur and flesh on the corpse abruptly melted away in the surging black mist. A skeleton soldier equipped with a bone sword and bone scythe slowly rose from the dissipating darkness.

—Attack the ground in front.

The instruction is recited silently in one's mind.

The next moment, the seemingly sluggish skeleton soldier lunged forward, its long blade slicing through the pure white stone surface of the platform in an instant.

Its speed and power surpassed that of a cheetah, comparable to a running rhinoceros. Siming immediately raised his gun, the Samurai Blade, and fired. Even with repeated hits from the reinforced 12mm bullets, only bone fragments splattered. Only a shotgun loaded with 12-gauge high-explosive rounds could eliminate it in a single shot.

It can basically be considered an alien creature, meaning it lacks intelligence.

It's not bad, but it consumes a lot of death energy. Just like how Iris in the third generation could only summon one skeleton soldier on her first summoning, Siming's 'Summon the Undead' consumed nearly 80% of his death energy.

His fingers trembled slightly.

The next moment, from the remains of the skeleton soldiers destroyed by the high-explosive shotgun, the consumed necromantic energy surged out and flowed back towards Siming. In just an instant, all the consumed death energy was replenished, and the total amount of necromantic energy even increased slightly.

The aura of death is inexhaustible. However, summoning and commanding it requires mental effort—Si Ming frowned, then reached out again. This time, the second standard corpse did not turn into bones. Instead, a faint glow emanated from its eye sockets, and the entire corpse slowly and unsteadily rose to its feet, standing, awaiting Si Ming's next move.

"A hint of impurity has appeared in the necromantic aura. When the dead are summoned back, not only death energy flows back, but also impurities from the fragments of spirit within the corpse. This causes this part of the necromantic aura to temporarily become inert."

Si Ming nodded.

He had already grasped the power to summon necromancers.

So……

Battle aura, activated.

The dark fighting spirit flowing through his limbs and bones slowly converged towards the area between his eyebrows where the aura of death resided.

The next moment, the dark battle aura touched his brow. And the instant after that, all the dark battle aura transformed into pure necromantic energy!
As expected—being compatible with any energy system means being able to become any energy system. And Si Ming only needed a thought to transform this temporarily dormant necromantic aura back into usable Night Battle Qi!
