Chapter 120
After the first battle, Ye Bai, who had never known which level of purgatory he was in, finally knew his current level - the eighth level, only one level away from the deepest ninth level of purgatory.
But I never expected that I would find out by killing the Lord of Purgatory and hearing the system prompt.
Ye Bai was pleasantly surprised by the gains from this battle. Even she herself had not expected that this trip to the God Realm, which lasted no more than one in-game month, would allow her to directly reach the third level of experience.
Once I return from the divine realm, I can prepare for the third transformation!
I'm afraid no one would believe this kind of thing if I told them, because even if all the interstellar players gathered their strength to support one person, it would take at least half a year or even longer to go from level 40 to level 60, and this does not take into account the experience dropped upon death and the monster spawning speed.
As more and more people enter the Ten Thousand Worlds, even if the entire universe is "merged", the situation of too many people and too few monsters is becoming increasingly obvious. In the future, the upgrade speed of players will become slower and slower. This shows how great an advantage Ye Bai has now that he alone controls the access to the advanced map of the Divine Realm.
Of course, Ye Bai’s gains were mainly due to his luck. There were two special NPCs, Paper Man and Ottophis. After arriving in Purgatory, he encountered Kraken and tricked the shameless Sea God into being his pet... All of this was due to luck and coincidence, but who says luck is not a part of strength?
At least Ye Bai has now transformed this luck into his own strength.
Ye Bai opened his personal information and checked the details of the series of titles he had obtained by completing the achievements he had just completed.
[Purgatory Translator]: Infernal creatures' alert range is reduced by 10 meters, and their health recovery rate is increased by 100%.
Compared to the title of [Dragon Language Expert] obtained after learning the Ancient Dragon Language, the effect of the Purgatory Translator after learning the Demon Language is more inclined towards Purgatory characteristics.
I didn't gain the favor of the infernal creatures, I only lowered the alert range, because the favorability of the infernal creatures is very jumpy, and when they are bored, they will fight each other. The natural health recovery speed is different for each level. Ye Bai's current second level is five points per second, and after the upgrade it will become ten points per second, which is also very good.
Next are the three titles obtained by killing the Snake Demon Lord.
[God Slayer]: All damage ignores the damage immunity of divine creatures; obtains the status of "Legendary Figure".
[Purgatory Warrior]: You killed a Purgatory Lord. All Purgatory enemy camps gain +60 basic favorability and +5000 reputation.
[Fear of Snake Demon]: The snake demon dare not attack you actively. You gain a 30% damage bonus when attacking the snake demon.
The three titles belong to the three dimensions of personal strength, camp, and race respectively.
The most practical of these is of course the title of God Slayer. Divine creatures are mainly gods and demigods as well as their small number of bloodlines and followers. This type of creature has damage immunity when facing attacks from non-divine creatures. The stronger the divinity, the higher the immunity.
For example, gods and demigods of the level of Kraken and Kedar can only be harmed by enemies of the same rank. Ye Bai just obtained a wave of snake demon skills through disintegration return but did not use them in the battle because he knew that it would not be very effective even if he used them, and the opponent might even be immune to them.
Now that he has obtained the title of God Killer, Ye Bai can finally cause damage to divine creatures normally.
The other newly added [Legendary Figure] effect in Ye Bai's identity information can be called a "protagonist halo" to some extent. With this identity, Ye Bai's initial image in the eyes of high-level NPCs will be elevated, leaving an impression that "this boy will definitely be something extraordinary in the future", and randomly increase the chances and rewards of issuing high-level tasks.
Of course, as usual, as the mission rewards increase, the difficulty of the mission will naturally increase as well.
The other Purgatory Hero was originally a practical title, but Purgatory is the camp of the God Realm, and the hostile camp is of course limited to the God Realm, and the various camps in the God Realm... whether it is understood or observed, it feels like they are all in ruins, and it seems that the favorability of this camp has been increased but it has not been increased.
The final Fear of the Snake Demon is a racial fear BUFF, which makes Ye Bai more advantageous in fighting when he encounters the snake demon again.
However, after taking a quick look at the entire eighth floor of Purgatory, Ye Bai felt that he had little chance of fighting the snake demon.
Under the "Kraken Meteor Hammer" just now, the area near the Purgatory Fortress can be said to be a biological restricted area. All the Purgatory creatures within a huge circular diameter have been cleared out. The scattered Purgatory creatures that are not affiliated with Kedar in the distance dare not wander around at all.
After hearing such a terrible noise, I ran as far as I could.
"belch……"
Just as he walked to the Kraken, Ye Bai heard a contented burp.
After using an insight, the basic information of Kraken appeared in Ye Bai's eyes again.
Kraken
Identity: Bai Ye's pet
Attribute: Entity
Level: 98
Status: Digesting
After blinking, Ye Bai saw Kraken's level number jump again, from 98 to 99.
As expected of a snake demon lord of nearly level 100, this was the first time Ye Bai saw Kraken in a state other than hunger. It was really not easy.
"Come on, digest it, Kraken!" Seeing this, Ye Bai glared at her and subconsciously cheered her up: "You can do it!"
I've already reached level 99, it would be unreasonable not to strive for a god level!
At this moment, Ye Bai somewhat understood the anxious mood of the Snake Demon Lord. No wonder he was willing to use his two heads as bait. Who could bear to see the progress bar stuck at 99%?
Even Ye Bai had thought about it. If it wasn't enough, he would immediately take his daughter to other purgatory to eat, just in time to complete the paper man's mission of "exploring purgatory to find something."
While thinking, Ye Bai's eyes were always fixed on Kraken's information, and she didn't move away. Suddenly, she saw the level number in front of her jump again.
Level 100?!
Ye Bai took a breath and blinked subconsciously to look carefully, but he immediately heard a "rustling" sound of tentacles moving, and then the Kraken's huge body was lit up with a strong green light again, and the "digesting" in the status bar also changed to "transforming" at this time.
Seeing this, Ye Bai quickly took two steps back, thinking that the Kraken was about to grow up again.
Unexpectedly, the next scene was beyond her expectations. After a while, the strong light slowly subsided. As the light subsided, Ye Bai saw that the familiar red giant octopus was not only not bigger than before, but had become smaller.
The difference from before was that now Kraken's tentacles and skin texture looked much more crystal-like, and upon closer inspection, they were gleaming with light, and her whole body became much lighter.
Then Ye Bai discovered that it was not just light as it looked, but the Kraken was actually floating. The red tentacles were no longer stepping on the ground, but were surrounded by a circle of illusory water waves, floating gently on the land, no different from being in the sea.
It seems that in this transformation from demigod level to god level, Kraken took the route of "concentration is the essence".
At this moment, the information that fell into Ye Bai's eyes changed again:
Kraken
Identity: Bai Ye's pet
Attributes: Complete
Level: 100
Status: Normal
Complete body?
Seeing this attribute, Ye Bai was stunned. He looked around the shrunken Kraken's head, but found nothing. He did not see the figure of the little girl who was in the fish basket just now.
Only the giant octopus's big green eyes cast a familiar yet unfamiliar look at Ye Bai.
I say familiar because the dependence on Ye Bai in Kraken's eyes has not changed, but he is no longer as ignorant as before, as if he has grown a lot all of a sudden.
Ye Bai opened his mouth, but a sound came out after a moment, with some complicated emotions of a child who had suddenly grown up: "Your spirit body has merged with your physical body?"
"Hmm!" A familiar clear voice came from the giant octopus.
Ye Bai paused again: Although I know this is the true form of the Kraken, I am such a cute and good girl!
I couldn't help but ask, "Can't your spirit body come out again?"
"all right!"
As the words came out, Ye Bai saw the tentacle closest to him instantly change and become the appearance of a little girl.
I don’t know if it’s inevitable for creatures in the deep sea to develop inwards, but this little girl only has the upper body, and the lower body is connected to an octopus tentacle.
This isn’t the kind of good girl I want… Ye Bai’s eyes twitched violently for several times before he could endure this absurd and unbearable scene.
After calming down, Ye Bai asked, "Kraken, can you cast Sky-Tide again? Hmm...it's best to restrain your power and direct it towards that side."
Ye Bai said this and pointed in a random direction nearby.
"good!"
Kraken never asked why, but agreed readily. Then he pointed his finger, and the illusory tide gathered in that direction.
“Clatter…”
Even though this was the result of restrained power, this illusory tide was like a real tsunami, with a powerful impact that washed over the entire purgatory space, causing ripples in space, and causing the purgatory creatures in the distance that did not dare to approach this area to hide and flee, not daring to get any closer.
Infernal creatures are crazy and angry, but they are not fools.
Ye Bai on this side hurriedly approached the place where the tide was weakest, released the high-level magic [Quick Freeze Chain] that Kedar had saved before, and then touched it with his finger under the curious gaze of Kraken.
'-743'
Get the legendary magic [Sky Tide]!
After Ye Bai came back from using his skills, Kraken suddenly thought of something. It... or rather, its eyes turned slightly, and then a tentacle stretched out, rolled up a ball of something and stretched it in front of Ye Bai.
Compared to the tentacles that were like pillars of heaven before, the red tentacles that the Kraken rolled up were now only as big as a round table. When the tentacles unfolded, a fish basket and an oval red gem were revealed inside.
The fish basket was naturally the one where the Kraken had been sitting before, and this gem that seemed to be flowing with magma... This item, which was obviously related to purgatory, seemed to come from the snake demon lord Kedar, but it was not digested by the Kraken?
"This can't be eaten." Kraken answered Ye Bai's question with the next sentence.
Ye Bai took the two items, and then the information about the extraordinary-looking red gem also appeared in her mind.
[Kedar's Infernal Brand Crystal]
Level: Mythic
Attribute: Career Core
Effect: After use, the original occupation template is overwritten and the talent ability of the Snake Demon Lord Kedar is randomly awakened.
Conditions of use: Possessing Purgatory Bloodline
Career core?
Ye Bai saw another prop in the Ten Thousand Worlds that she had never seen before, and as the crystal fell into her hand, she felt the gem in her palm getting slightly warm. The next moment, the ground at the corresponding position of the crystal suddenly emitted light, forming a red space crack on the ground.
This space crack is different from the space cracks that can be seen everywhere in the purgatory space. It looks extremely stable, and when Ye Bai's eyes fell on it, he immediately got the relevant information.
[Purgatory Ninth Layer Rift] Duration: -/-
Because it is a stable channel, there is no continuous countdown.
Ye Bai was so overwhelmed by the joy of a series of harvests that he forgot for a moment that after killing the Lord of Purgatory, a stable space crack would appear leading to the next level.
The layer below the eighth layer of Purgatory is undoubtedly the deepest core of Purgatory. The lord of the ninth layer of Purgatory, the Purgatory Demon God that Kedar has always wanted to become, is within this crack.
The paper man had mentioned before that the Purgatory Clan had not been completely destroyed and was now recovering. It was hard to say what the situation was with the Purgatory Demon God on the ninth floor.
Combined with the appearance of the channel, Ye Bai probably understood why the crystals were "picked out" by the Kraken and said they could not be eaten.
Under normal circumstances, after successfully defeating the Purgatory Lord, players can choose two routes. One is the Brave Route, leaving Purgatory with gains and reputation; the other is the Conversion Route, directly transforming into the Purgatory camp, integrating the space cracks, and then becoming the new lord of that level.
If the Purgatory Lord is killed by other NPCs that do not belong to Purgatory, it has nothing to do with the player, then a new strongest person will be born normally in this level of Purgatory in the future and become the Purgatory Lord.
The situation at this time was somewhere in between the two. The Snake Demon Lord Kedar was not killed by Ye Bai, the player, but was swallowed whole by the Kraken and gained all of its power. But at the same time, Ye Bai used a fishing rod to catch the Kraken in the middle, causing damage to the Snake Demon.
Therefore, this contradiction caused the player's route to become crystallized and precipitated, becoming something that the Kraken could not digest. This thing is somewhat similar to the identity proof of the snake demon lord Kedar.
If Ye Bai had gotten some Purgatory Bloodline, she could even choose to use it, but she simply put it into her backpack.
If used, the snake demon's career template will cover Ye Bai's current career template. The stronger one is the demigod snake demon. The second and third level snake demon templates do not have much advantage over Ye Bai's own career. Instead, they lose flexibility and are not suitable for her.
And there is another very important point, which is the current level cap of the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Ordinary StarCraft players generally have reached level one and are still working hard to reach level two, unlike Ye Bai who is leveling up so quickly that he has to consider this issue.
The unbeta version in Ye Bai's memory did not have demigod available. Level three was the pinnacle. She didn't know if this version could continue to advance, so she didn't need to gamble on this.
And transform into the Purgatory Camp and become the Lord of this level of Purgatory. Although he can have a powerful and chaotic Purgatory Legion, it also means that in the God Realm, he will become a hostile existence like an assassin.
Given the current depressed and closed state of the divine world, the difficulty for Ye Bai to obtain information has undoubtedly been upgraded from hell to the level of hell's basement.
Ye Bai has already thought of a better choice for the fate of this crystal.
There is also a Felix in the territory who possesses lava blood, which is also a rare purgatory bloodline. It would be better to give it to him to see if he can use it. If he can, she will have another professional with extraordinary potential under her command.
From this point of view, the mission of this trip to the God Realm can be said to have been over-fulfilled. The next task is for the paper man to find things. With Kraken around, he can eat fireballs while searching. As long as he doesn't try to kill himself and test the Purgatory Demon on the ninth floor, which he doesn't know if it still exists, Ye Bai can explore other areas of Purgatory.
Just when Ye Bai felt that all his problems were solved, two voices rang in his ears at the same time:
"Eat! Eat the fireball!"
"I feel it. It's right down here."
The first voice came from Kraken, and the other naturally came from the paper man. The direction their voices pointed to was the crack in the ninth layer of Purgatory that had just appeared with the crystallization not far in front of Ye Bai.
Ye Bai: “…”
Can she set a flag just by thinking about it in her mind?!
"Are you... sure?" Ye Bai swallowed and looked at Kraken first.
The status column once again changed to 'Hungry'. The brief 'normal' state at the moment of promotion was like a flash in the pan. The level 99 Snake Demon Lord was digested so quickly.
His eyes fell on the paper figure on the scroll, and the little figure on it gave Ye Bai a positive answer: "I can feel it... However, it is the ninth level of Purgatory. I can see that a powerful force is reviving and overflowing."
Ye Bai frowned and turned to Kraken and said, "Let's go to other floors to eat some fireballs first!"
They walked in purgatory, relying on the power of Kraken. No matter what the situation, it would be okay to strengthen its strength first.
"Eat a small fireball, no." Unexpectedly, Kraken, who had rarely raised any objections, shook his head at this moment. Ye Bai saw that Kraken's brows also frowned, and his face was very serious at this time: "Eat it now, Fireball is growing... When he grows up, he won't be able to beat him."
Ye Bai's eyes moved, focusing on the key point, and asked: "Can you beat him now?"
"I can't beat him."
Then why fight?
"Then let's stop fighting and leave here." Ye Bai said immediately, wanting to take Kraken away from here, or at least return to the deep sea.
There are two things that must be found in the ninth layer of Purgatory: the Purgatory Core and the Purgatory Demon.
The power of the Purgatory Demon will be blessed by the Purgatory Core. Now both the Paper Man and the Kraken say that the power inside is reviving. So no matter how you look at it, it is not a good time to enter it.
"We need to fight."
However, Kraken shook his head at Ye Bai again. At the same time, space ripples began to appear around it, and its body sank as if falling into the water, crossing this layer of space crack.
This time, it was the Kraken who took the initiative to cross through the space crack.
"Kraken..."
"This is... responsibility." In front of Ye Bai's surprised, stunned and puzzled eyes, Kraken clenched his fist and said seriously: "Kraken is the king, and the king has responsibilities!"
Is it the Kraken's responsibility to 'eat fireballs'?
Ye Bai's mind was shaken, and she suddenly realized that she had some misunderstandings about her description of Kraken.
Small fire, fireball.
Kraken always called other infernal creatures Little Fire and Big Fire, but what she kept clamoring to eat was Fireball.
Fireballs and large and small fires may be two things of similar nature, so what the Kraken has always said he wants to eat, could it be the Purgatory Core?
The Purgatory Core is the essence of Purgatory. The 'Law of Chaos' within the game and the constantly born Purgatory creatures all originate from the power of the Purgatory Core. The largest part of the Purgatory Core is controlled by the Purgatory Demon, the most powerful lord of the ninth layer of Purgatory. This is also part of the [Title Blessing] of becoming the Purgatory King.
Then why did Kraken say that eating fireballs was her duty as king?
There is no doubt that Kraken is the king of the deep sea, but the deep sea was moved into the cracks of Purgatory by that mysterious God-King... Wait, is it that God-King who arranged all this?
At this moment, Ye Bai had a flash of inspiration. The chaotic law of Purgatory and the hunger or devouring law of Kraken just formed a spear and a shield.
The Deep Sea and Kraken were deliberately sent here in order to suppress the revival of Purgatory on a large scale one day.
Only in this way can we explain the reason for all this.
But... the question arises again, why is this done? What is the necessary connection between the reason for suppressing Purgatory and the Kraken, the king of the deep sea, and how did it become the Kraken's responsibility?
Besides, wasn't that God King also the former owner of the Kraken?!
The last bit of the Kraken's huge body completely sank into the ground. Ye Bai took a deep breath and stepped on the ground.
"Ottophis, it's dangerous in there. I'm going in to take a look. You stay here and wait for me."
After leaving these words, Ye Bai also stepped into the space crack.
A feeling of passing through came, and the next moment, an even stronger burning breath came over, and the eyes were filled with dazzling light.
There was no stone or lava river, only an indescribable huge fireball that filled Ye Bai's vision.
The space was distorting and the flames were flowing. At this moment, she felt as if she was facing a star that was emitting light and heat normally from a distance.
And then... he stepped on empty air.
"ah--!"
Not only did it look like a star, but the huge fireball also had gravity. Ye Bai was caught off guard and fell towards the star, and the damage caused by the scorching environment continued to emerge.
The temperature of the fireball caused damage to her even from an unknown distance of several meters, not to mention it actually fell on her.
Ye Bai quickly used the Light Feather Technique, but under the strong gravitational force, it only slowed down his falling speed a little, and he still couldn't stop falling.
——This doesn't make sense! How can the environment kill you the moment you walk in?
“Bang!”
At this moment, Ye Bai felt a tightness around his waist and was entangled by a red octopus tentacle, pulling him up steadily.
"call……"
Ye Bai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, naturally knowing that it was the Kraken.
At the same time, with this posture, Ye Bai's distance to the fireball shortened, and her sight fell on the fireball. Then, her eyes suddenly focused.
She saw a black shadow above the fireball.
The outline of the black shadow was a human figure.
