After discarding the heavy pillar, Broken Tail was much faster than Rusalka, and directly raised its sharp claws to pierce its abdomen, beating it to the point of death again.

Rusalka herself couldn't even make a successful block, so even the Parry Master couldn't be activated because the prerequisites were not met.

As the legendary ancestor of the El Empire and the strongest member of the Rhine tribe, from the perspective of combat skills, the opponent is far from being someone that a novice who has only been in business for five years can easily crush with the assistance of the system.

Jian Wuming has proved with his actions that sometimes absolute system skills can be surpassed by skills when the conditions are met, not to mention the current situation where even the system skills cannot be triggered.

Just when the situation was extremely hopeless, Rusalka suddenly became dazed and found herself standing in the dark upgrade space.

[Ding, your experience points have been detected to be full, but you haven't been able to enter a long rest yet. You will be automatically promoted to level 15.]

[This upgrade will give you 50 points and a template talent.]

Please choose carefully.

Chapter 326 Come on, let’s hurt each other

Change random summons into designated summons, grant these ancestral souls that should be on the same level as the summoners unlimited physical strength and unlimited magic power, almost restoring the historical values, and then use extreme data to crush Rusalka's side.

The present is not as good as the past. No matter how powerful Phoenix is, she is only a believer of the modern era who has lived for more than two hundred years. She cannot be compared with Yu Linghua during the Demon War period. Even if her current cursed power level is capped at Tamamo's, with the blessing of infinite blue bars, the strength she can display is far more terrifying than Tamamo.

This is the "cheating" method that the God of War gives to his believers in his own domain, which is despairing.

However, this time, his uncanny luck seemed to have hit a jackpot, giving him one last chance to struggle—to upgrade before the battle and make a breakthrough during the fight.

Well, he used to not believe this, and thought it was too absurd and ridiculous. Who could win every day by just bursting out? Wouldn't that mean that all his previous accumulation was waste?

But now, he had to admit that when it came to numbers, he was useless in the face of the gods' hands that could modify data at will.

Is there any way to break the status quo? No, I must find a way to break the status quo.

Even if the system gave him another 10 points of strength, enough to punch the center of the earth, Rusalka still felt that he had no choice, because he had deeply realized how ridiculous it was to compete with gods in numbers - they could even kill you instantly if the rules allowed, completely ignoring the rules of dying.

The judgment is made by pulling the points to 70, 80 points, which are impossible to reach. What's the point of you, a mortal who rolls a twenty-sided dice with points from 1 to 20, to roll the number higher?

Now, without the help of his good brother's brain to assist in thinking, Rusalka also knew: he must choose the "law of causality" ability that Sanita said only the system can achieve, perhaps to find a glimmer of hope.

[Career template ability selection is as follows:]

[1. Wings of Redemption: Each short rest restores one use, activating a pair of permanent wings with 20 AC, immunity to radiant damage, mental damage, and negative effects, and half the maximum health.]

[During the duration of the wings, you are considered to be able to fly with "magic effect", and the flying speed depends on your agility attribute.]

[The wings themselves are not considered a spell and cannot be dispelled or sealed. They can only disappear due to the health point reaching zero.]

[When the health of the wings reaches zero, the absorbed spell damage will be automatically converted into points in the Holy Healing Pool.]

If you take a short rest before the wings disappear, the first use of the wings will be restored once, and the available uses will no longer be added. Instead, the health will be restored to full.

[Note: The number of times you can use the wings will not be considered as "usable resources" while you have wings, and will not affect the triggering of abilities such as "Awakening Aura" that require the use of active resources. However, please note that it will be considered as "usable resources" when you do not have wings.]

It has permanent wings, high defense, thick health and ignores spell effects. It can be used to block most skills, and even reserve one use opportunity. It can also exchange the blocked spell damage for holy healing pool resources. It is really a very powerful ability.

If Rusalka was sleeping in Silver City now, he would definitely choose this, and there would be no reason not to choose this. If he had not chosen this a year ago, he would have gotten up by himself without Sanitieta's help and would have slapped himself twice.

But this time, he had no choice but to give it up.

On the one hand, it is because no one can save it.

On the other hand, Rusalka felt that after meeting God, his cognitive concept of "intensity" had quietly undergone a certain transformation.

He can go up to the sky and hide in the earth, and he can do anything.

But those gods could do it easily in the first place, and they could even make others do it with just a few moves - can it be called abusing power if I choose these powers left over by the gods?

[2. Shield of Peace: Restores all HP per short rest. Can be used (Charisma modifier) ​​times. Requires holding a shield to trigger.]

[Select a non-self friendly target to release. You can only protect up to two allies at a time, and the protected targets cannot be more than 300 feet apart. Otherwise, one use will be refunded and the protection effect will be canceled. If the opponent is attacked within 300 feet of you, you can ignore the conditions and teleport to them before the damage calculation phase. You will use your shield to absorb the damage. During this time, your shield is invincible and cannot be damaged by abilities of level 4 or lower.]

After the shield absorbs the attack, regardless of distance and conditional restrictions, trigger all your passive abilities that can be triggered when attacked. If an exemption is required, it will be triggered successfully regardless of the requirement.

[Then, add a Holy Light barrier to the protected target that can absorb (Charisma * 2) points of damage. When this barrier is attacked, it can also trigger your passive ability, but not necessarily.]

Combined with the revenge deterrent, it is very powerful and is the first choice for those who take a beating!

But no shield!

It's useless!

[3. Sword of Conviction: Restores once per long rest, can store (Strength modifier) ​​times, requires attacking with a non-light weapon to trigger.]

[When the next attack successfully hits, this attack will definitely cause a critical hit, and will also inflict a "Conviction" effect on the opponent that cannot be removed by using a priority of level 4 or lower.]

[Conviction: Cannot restore life, lose all advantages, and have disadvantage in immunity against revenge shock.]

[After this, for the target with "Condemned," you can set up a teleport return beacon within 30 feet of your current location. During this battle, you can teleport to the target within 5 feet of your size at any time, regardless of distance, restrictions, or landing point, without cost. After killing the target, you can choose to return to the beacon location.]

Wow, if I have this ability, I will convict the opponent. If he is not dead yet, I will directly transform into an ace in air combat. Even if the opponent flies, I can imitate flying by infinite teleportation, and hunt him regardless of distance, like the Hound of Tindalos!

However, this is still a super hunting ability for playing in an advantageous situation. First of all, it is required to hit the opponent once. It is difficult for Rusalka to break the tail in close combat now, not to mention Yu Linghua, the ancient nine-tailed fox priestess who seems to have endless means.

I place this option with tears in my eyes, the last one.

This one was very simple, with nothing written on it, but it had a great appeal to Rusalka.

[4. Door Gap: Pay 50 Upgrade Points, select any ability/skill/spell/attribute/item/equipment you possess, or any resource you can think of, and upgrade it to meet the conditions and abilities of [Level 5 Priority].]

[Note: Choosing this option may result in irreversible and unpredictable risks.]

Level 5 priority?

Before Rusalka could figure it out, a familiar burning bright red line suddenly appeared under the panel.

[5. Final Mercy: Give me 50 upgrade points and this ability, then open the seal of the key. I will grant you enough power to crush the Krampus domain. How about it?]

【Choose this path and become the messenger of the end.】

[Don't worry, I never exaggerate. Are you worried that I won't save your friends and loved ones? You're totally wrong. To me, saving them is just a matter of your own thought. You should choose me because my power will fulfill all your wishes!]

Rusalka was stunned. This time, the conditions offered by the End were too tempting—because He was not like the Riddler at all. He told her directly and specifically that His power could break the status quo.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with being the Messenger of the Apocalypse. Isn't Theresa still living well? If there's anything unpleasant about her, it's her unscrupulous pursuit of the faith of other gods. But if Rusalka were her replacement, wouldn't she be just a homebody in Esti Cathedral, hanging out with cats and occasionally holding public classes (on prayer days)? Why bother with violence and world destruction?

Okay, but if the world must be destroyed in the end, there is one thing he must confirm first.

"So...can you help me get Phoenix back to Earth?"

[Of course not. She belongs to this world and cannot be taken away.]

[However, everything has its end, and the cycle of life is inevitable. Even a being like her will only live for 700 years at most before fading away.]

[You now possess a lifespan that is practically infinite for you. She is merely a passing visitor on your life path. Even if you choose her, it will only be a regret postponed for hundreds of years for your future self.]

[The same is true of your friends. From the perspective of the long river of time, they are just a wave to you.]

【Not to mention, if you don't choose me, you and they will end up here at the same time.】

If you think about it from your current perspective, you should cherish the present moment even more and enjoy life to the fullest before the end. Why not enjoy life while it lasts?

"Fuck you, Five, you can't even take a cat with you. You like the Bahamut of world destruction, right? Watch me, my giant jet will push your meteorite back!"

Rusalka reached out and chose the fourth one.

At the moment of choice, the End was not angry, but laughed.

He... is very happy?

No, that's not right. It was not just the voice of the last man. Rusalka seemed to hear endless laughter ringing in her ears. There were all kinds of voices, humans, elves, no, there were more complex and incomprehensible creatures. All kinds of chaotic syllables like a storm poured into her head uncontrollably, as if a million broken radios were playing in her head at the same time, but Rusalka clearly recognized the message in her head that "they are laughing."

Suddenly coming to her senses, Rusalka found herself sitting on the familiar table, the same small prison chair where she had sat last time when she was making a play with the God of Nature.

This time, the table was clean and empty.

But soon, pictures with him as the protagonist appeared on the table. Rusalka picked them up and looked at them. They were clearly photos that recorded every important scene after his time travel. It was a bit weird and creepy.

Just think of it as being targeted by a sickly, rich, beautiful loli stalker. Thinking this way, Rusalka suddenly felt much more comfortable, or rather, extremely comfortable. Modo Modo.

All the laughter stopped abruptly.

Only one voice, identical to Rusalka's own, was heard.

"Please make your choice. Which ability do you want to upgrade?"

"Can I know the effect of the upgrade?"

"No." The other party replied calmly, a response Rusalka had heard before: "Please choose carefully."

Rusalka sat on the chair and understood the situation. She decided to repeat her old trick and call for help from outside the court: (Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Sa! Call Mr. Sa!)

But this time, the only voice that responded to him was his own.

"Don't waste your energy. This is your own choice."

Rusalka realized that the other party might be the "system" and had to give up.

But he hadn't completely given up on another idea: "Can I punch you?"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

"Alright! Gan Linliang, this is my template ability, right?"

"Yes."

"As I've come this far, I've realized I've gone too far in this world, playing the role of someone I've always been. I've forgotten why I set out in the first place! Phoenix, the Pearl Tear Territory, the Twelve Gods, Sneedi's Last Hope. When I think about it, it seems these weren't what I wanted when I first came here."

"Damn it. Back in the Test Mine, I remember President Sa once asked me, 'You came here with this featureless, overpowered card, do you even care about roleplaying?' I replied that I was playing Hammer, and I was here to wreak havoc."

"I didn't expect to slap myself today."

"Now, I will return to my original intention and never regret it even if I die."

"I chose 'Supreme Slash'. If you dare to hurt my 10-point cat, I'll chop your world into pieces!!!"

[The ability Holy Slash has been upgraded to "Level 5 Priority"]

[Now, your Holy Slash no longer has any triggering restrictions. It can be triggered by just contact, and it is also effective against extraordinary powers.]

The next moment, Rusalka's consciousness fell from the clouds.

When he came to his senses, he saw an iron pillar hitting his head.

Bang! The iron pillar fell heavily on his head, but Hamlet's shield was able to block it.

Rusalka: (Sorry, I opened it too.)

In Sanitta's eyes, Rusalka suddenly said this after being beaten up, which made his brain, which was working fast at the moment, feel like it was suddenly doused with coolant, and he was a little confused.

But the next moment, he opened his mouth in surprise.

Because a dazzling golden light came out from Rusalka's head, and then it blew the iron pillar into two pieces!

Yu Linghua quickly shot out a torrent of curses at Rusalka, and the latter's life was reduced to zero. However, before she died, golden light burst out from all over Rusalka's body, directly blasting the torrent of curses into ashes.

Afterwards, the crystal exploded, and Broken Tail immediately placed half of the iron pillar across his body to block and absorb the power of the explosion. He was pushed back several steps before stopping.

The life dice shattered, and Rusalka stood back where she was.

Rusalka immediately threw the sword aside, swung the Lie family wheel fist and rushed towards Broken Tail with a big laugh: "I have the power to deal 300 damage with this blow, can you withstand it!"

No, what is this?

Not only was the other side unable to understand, even Sanita was completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

Chapter 327: Mobile Disaster

In fact, when Rusalka was using her head to break the iron pillar, the first person she thought of was indeed Phoenix.

But what he was thinking about was not revenge for Maomao or some hellish joke, but what would happen if he couldn't control himself when fighting with Phoenix and accidentally let his second brother trigger the Holy Slash?

The key is that the more I think about it, the more curious I become. It’s really “curiosity kills the cat”, haha.

Well, okay, he admitted, it seemed like a more hellish joke.

Maomao is so kind that she risked her life to save me, but I am still persecuting her. I deserve to die!

Rusalka raised her hand and slapped herself, then activated the Holy Slash and turned herself into ashes. She exploded on the spot and wordlessly broke a dice to escape from the brink of death.

Rusalka: (Damn it, I'm used to it. I subconsciously activated Holy Slash!)

But Mr. Sa's brain was freezing now. He didn't complain about Rusalka, he just felt that the current situation was unbelievable.

So, if the Holy Slash doesn't require slashing to trigger, then what is it?

Has Rusalka really become Isaac's boss now, or is she the kind that will kill you with just one touch?
