Bizarre Realm-Chapter 252 - 42: Exoskeleton Armor! Orbital Strike and Orbital Drop (Part 3)

Chapter 252: Chapter 42: Exoskeleton Armor! Orbital Strike and Orbital Drop (Part 3)

After completing his ascension, Shawn was about to leave Abyss City to travel the entire planet, searching for his destined path.

"Just doing business in Abyss City is far from enough to gather the vast resources I need."

"I’d be better off capturing an Underground City from a bizarre creature, preferably one with resource deposits."

"With my current strength."

"I should have a good chance of capturing an Underground City on my own."

One man takes a city.

Shawn was still a bit short in strength now, but after completing his ascension to become a High Tier transcendent with dual paths of Arcane Magic and Mind, he was equipped with the might to single-handedly capture an Underground City.

Of course, before that, he needed to prepare a lot, ensuring he had a full set of Curios equipment.

——Sealed Object - Evil Beast Ghost Claw!

This was an ordinary sealed object.

It looked like a menacing tiger claw twisted into the outline of a human arm, covered with mottled white fur. The Evil Beast Demon is a creature capable of transforming into human form, and this sealed object was derived from its corresponding transcendent being.

Shawn attempted to activate this sealed object.

It had a condition, it must be a non-kind alignment creature.

Preferably an evil alignment creature to activate.

Sealed objects have some unique activation conditions, unlike Curios they are not completely processed equipment.

The next second.

Shawn’s body began to change, his arm transformed into a furry claw, fine hairs sprouted on his face, his canine teeth protruded, and his muscles swelled, transforming him into a fierce half-human, half-beast creature nearly two meters tall.

"Begin analyzing the sealed object!"

"Knowledge insight into oneself!... Analyze corresponding enhancement abilities!..."

Shawn closed his eyes, mysterious knowledge in his mind flowing through his entire body.

"Power enhancement." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"My strength has been stabilized to nearly the level of Transcendent Power, equivalent to a Tier Three warrior."

"Combat skills enhancement."

"My body has been implanted with ’combat reflex,’ combat intuition enhancement, mastery of innate weapon - claw, and biological constant alertness; part of my extraordinary level has been transformed into a monster template."

"Dark vision enhancement, this is a constant talent."

Shawn opened his eyes, a hint of bloodlust glimmering in his eerie pupils, a pollution from the sealed object, but he could endure it.

This level of pollution was hardly trouble for him.

"Corporal distortion."

"I now possess innate protection level."

Shawn picked up a dagger and sliced his skin, a trickle of blood oozed out, the Invisible Hand continued to record.

"Damage reduction enhancement."

"Spell resistance enhancement."

"Sealed objects differ from Curios, they cannot fully process the Extraordinary Essence, so they can inherit part of the original Evil Beast Demon’s abilities."

Most Curios are single-attribute enhancements, multi-attribute ones are relatively rare.

Sealed objects offer comprehensive enhancement, but the pollution is more severe. The abilities of sealed objects depend on how much power is retained from the stripped Extraordinary Essence of the deceased owner.

"The Extraordinary Essence of sealed objects is quite complicated and massive, very difficult to fully process."

"If stripped down."

"It can be used to create specific ability-enhancing Curios, but that would be a great waste."

——Spiritual Vision!

Open!

Shawn walked to the mirror and looked at his half-human, half-beast reflection. Under his Spiritual Vision, behind himself was a vivid purple radiance, like a condensed bubble. In the shadow cast by his reflection, the menacing ghostly image of an Evil Beast Demon appeared, the lingering consciousness essence of the sealed object.

"It can be understood as soul fragments, binding spirit, evil thoughts, and such concepts."

"The soul and memory of the deceased Evil Beast Demon have merged into the Extraordinary Essence, ultimately forming this ghost claw sealed object."

"Those who do not meet its conditions will suffer a stronger backlash."

"Therefore, kind alignment individuals cannot use it; simply touching it would be attacked by evil thoughts."

Shawn pondered for a long time.

Finally recorded in his Magic Notebook: "The research on sealed objects involves the soul level, equivalent to refining all abilities of a transcendent into a high-pollution powerful equipment."

"Using them is akin to being possessed by a deceased transcendent!"

"Currently, this research is somewhat beyond my ability, I need more knowledge to support further research work."

Soul.

With Shawn’s current capability, the research on souls was just starting.

In the afternoon.

Veronica brought the Alchemy Materials Shawn currently needed. She was practically using all her resources to subsidize Shawn’s research work, with no significant returns yet. Yet despite being ravaged crazily last night, though feeling fulfilled, Shawn knew this couldn’t be a long-term strategy.

For the Enchanting Demon, Shawn couldn’t entirely rely on the Thought Mark to control her since she herself was a transcendent on the charm path.

The best partnership undoubtedly involves mutual interests.

Shawn needed to convert his research into results, or else Veronica’s resources would not last long, he would eventually exhaust all of it.

Mages are really costly!

"Master."

The Enchanting Demon’s exceptionally gentle voice sounded: "I’ve brought the things you wanted. However, refined gold is a bit difficult right now, the current output from the mine is very small. I heard that a bizarre creature attacked the mining area, causing many miners to die."

Shawn nodded slightly and said: "Hmm."

"Put it there."

He was about to say something when suddenly his expression changed, his figure flickered appearing atop the Astronomical Observatory, directly gazing at the distant sky.

In the sunset, the horizon in the distance was a glaring blood-red!

Veronica seemed to sense it too, rushing over full of fear, murmuring: "Master? What happened? I’m feeling very frightened and uneasy right now!"

Shawn’s brows tightened, his expression incredibly solemn.

A tri-bifurcation appeared in his palm, a divination ritual, followed by the flow of mysterious knowledge.

After a long while.

Shawn raised his head, gazing at the distant blood-red sky, enunciating each word: "Ancient ominous augury—Dark Prosperity!"

"An Ancient Evil has awakened."

At this moment.

The laws of the entire planet were being twisted, life thrived abnormally in dark prosperity, and the lifecycle of species was fast-forwarded.

Within one night, vast areas of flourishing mutant plants grew across the land.

The Law of Life was accelerating.

For mortals, after sustaining injuries, their bodies could complete metabolic recovery in just one night, and minor wounds would heal at remarkable speeds, albeit at the cost of accelerated life depletion.
