The Imprint of Revelation

Basic Engraving 1:

When a normal attack (excluding branch attacks and charged attacks) hits an enemy, apply 1 stack of [Revelation] to yourself. Each stack increases the total damage and physical/elemental damage of normal attacks (excluding branch attacks and charged attacks) by 0.9%/1%/1.1%/1.2% for 5 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration, up to a maximum of 40 stacks, with a trigger interval of 0.5 seconds.

Basic Engraving II:

When a branch attack or charged attack hits an enemy, apply 2 stacks of [Enlightenment] to yourself. Each stack increases the total damage and physical/elemental damage of branch and charged attacks by 1.8%/2%/2.2%/2.4% for 5 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration, up to a maximum of 20 stacks, with a 1-second trigger interval.

Basic Engraving Three:

After using a weapon skill, apply 1 stack of [Revelation] to yourself. Each stack increases all damage and physical/elemental damage from the weapon skill by 10%/12%/14%/16% for 10 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration, up to a maximum of 6 stacks, with a 4-second trigger interval.

Basic Engraving Four:

After activating the ultimate skill, apply 1 stack of [End of the Road] to yourself. Each stack increases the ultimate skill's total damage and physical/elemental damage by 22%/24%/26%/28% for 15 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, with a 12-second trigger interval.

Basic Engraving Five:

When the Ultimate Evasion skill is triggered, apply 1 stack of [Path Forward] to yourself. Each stack increases the character's total damage reduction by 24%/26%/28%/30% for 15 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration, up to a maximum of 2 stacks, with a trigger interval of 10 seconds.

Basic Engraving Six:

All states are extended by 4/5/6/7 seconds.

(a) Core Imprint:

All states are merged into [Apocalypse], with a maximum of 40 stacks and a duration of 7 seconds. Performing corresponding actions increases the corresponding number of stacks. Upon reaching the corresponding number of stacks, the character automatically gains the corresponding buff, but this will not exceed the maximum buff provided by the base imprint. When [Apocalypse] reaches its maximum number of stacks, the character gains 40% all damage penetration.

(Example: When you have 3 stacks of [Apocalypse], the ultimate skill boost provided by [End of the Road] reaches its limit and will not increase further thereafter.)

Enhancement Imprint 1:

【天启】的最大叠加层数提高至45/50/55/60层，【启示】提供的普攻增伤层数提高至45/50/55/60层，【启明】提供的分支和蓄力增伤层数提高至23/25/28/30层，【昭示】提供的武器技增伤层数提高至6/7/8/9层，【末路】提供的必杀技增伤层数提高至3/4/4/5层，【前路】提供的全伤减免层数提高至2/2/3/3层。

Enhancement Imprint II:

根据【天启】的层数提高所有敌人受到的伤害，每10层提高5%，且身上每有一种来源于基础刻印的增幅，额外提供2%/2.5%/3%/3.5%的效果。

Enhancement Imprint Three:

根据【天启】的层数提供每秒的额外能量回复，每10层提供1/1.5/2/2.5点能量回复。

(II) Core Imprint:

When you have three or more basic engravings that enhance your character, the [Ocean] effect will activate simultaneously, and you will receive the [Blessing of the Ocean].

【Blessing of the Ocean】: For each basic imprint and amplification imprint that provides amplification, increase the character's total damage penetration by 10% and damage increase by 5% (independent and calculated last).

(Example: If you have the amplification of the three basic imprints [Revelation], [Enlightenment], and [Illusion], and also trigger the core amplification [Blessing of the Ocean], for a total of four amplifications, you will receive a total of 40% all damage penetration and 20% damage increase.)

Enhancement Imprint 1:

When you possess the [Blessing of the Ocean], the [Ocean Current] will be activated simultaneously, and you will gain the [Memory of the Ocean Current].

【Memory of Ocean Currents】: Provides additional energy recovery per second based on the number of amplifications provided by the character's basic imprints and amplification imprints. Each amplification provides 1/1.5/2/2.5 points of energy recovery.

Enhancement Imprint II:

When you possess the [Blessing of the Ocean], the [Ocean] will be simultaneously activated, and you will receive the [Gift of the Ocean].

【大洋的恩赐】：根据角色拥有的基础刻印和增幅刻印提供的增幅数量使所有敌人受到的伤害提高，每项增幅每秒提高1%/2%/3%/4%，上限100%（独立计算）。

Enhancement Imprint Three:

When you possess the [Blessing of the Ocean], the [Deep Sea] will be simultaneously activated, and you will receive the [Call of the Deep Sea].

【Call of the Deep Sea】: Based on the number of amplifications provided by the character's basic imprints and amplification imprints, reduce the attack power, attack speed, and movement speed of all enemies. Each amplification is reduced by 1%/2%/3%/4% per second, up to a maximum of 66%.

[Evidence of Remembrance]:

Candy [★★]: An ordinary white star-shaped candy with only ordinary sweetness, similar to the feeling of putting a rock candy in your mouth. However, sometimes it also represents someone's friendship.

Do you want some candy?

--……Thanks?

Effect: The probability of encountering the teleportation anchor point corresponding to the [Revelation] imprint is greatly increased.

Candy Bag [★★★]: A beautifully designed little bag filled with wrapped white star-shaped candies. It has a slightly delicate texture when held in your hand, and it doesn't seem like the kind of bag that person would carry or buy. Clearly, this was prepared by someone specifically to give to someone.

—This is for you.

—Um…thank you?

Effect: When selecting the [Revelation] imprint, its initial level increases by 1. When possessing [Core Imprint 1], the character gains an additional 15% all damage penetration when [Apocalypse] reaches its maximum stack; when possessing [Core Imprint 2], the damage increase provided by [Blessing of the Ocean] is increased by an additional 2%.

"Candy" Box [★★★★]: An ordinary-looking candy box filled with white star-shaped "candies". It is something that someone carries with them, and no one can take it from their hands... well, no one.

—I'm not giving this to you!

Nobody will try to take it from you!

Effect: When the [Revelation] imprint is selected, its initial level increases by 1. When the charge reaches 600, a skill can be released to increase the base attack power of the deployed Valkyrie by 600, but at the cost of losing 5% of her maximum HP per second (down to a maximum of 1), lasting for 10 seconds; each time this skill is used in each challenge, it will permanently increase the base attack power of the deployed Valkyrie by 20, up to a maximum of 200.

Energy recharge method: Gain 100 energy points when an enemy dies.

"Candy" [★★]: A white star-shaped "candy" that looks no different from ordinary candy, but if you check the ingredients, you will definitely not eat it and will classify it as a "dangerous item".

—Are you eating candy again? Can I have one?

—I can't give you this.

--why?

—Anyway, I can't give it to you.

Effect: The base attack power, attack speed, and movement speed of the Valkyrie in battle are increased by 15%, but she loses 150 health points per second, which can be reduced to a maximum of 1 health point.

Epilogue: The Tide Has Arrived (7728)

"……Um?"

In the dim light, amidst the ups and downs, Xi Wang opened his eyes.

“The scents left on Sakura, Alicia… and Gretchen… are gone…”

Unexplained bubbles began to appear in the surrounding air. There was nothing there, yet a feeling of unease and soothing emanated from the surroundings… It was the “water” surging in response to his emotions, and the “water” trying to calm his restless heart.

tick-

It was the sound of water dripping softly; a light drizzle fell from the sky, but quickly faded away. In a daze, everything around me became blurry, like a computer screen displaying an error.

Soon, clumps of peculiar "monsters," created from a mixture of redundant data and special viruses, appeared. They attacked Xi Wang, dragged him, and took him to a deeper level.

Looking up, one sees the sky filled with chaotic data; looking down, one sees an unfathomable abyss of redundant data; and all around, one is surrounded by countless "monsters"...

Ah... This scene reminds him of his days in the "sea".

Something has slipped in...

Xi Wang murmured softly, her body gradually becoming damp, and azure water appeared... Even if the disordered blocks piled up and covered the water in the next moment, eliminating it, the water would still be visible.
