Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 828 - 143: Leisure After Completing the Main Quest (2)

After all, at present, there's a constant danger of being attacked by that terrifying shadow of evil, so preserving life is crucial.

The effects of a Tier Twelve Spiritual Gem are extremely significant!

The basic increase in Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value is directly 135,000, which is a significant increase of about a third even for a hero of Lin Rui's strength. For Wutong, it will multiply her Life Value by several dozen times.

Although Wutong's traits are strong, her number of traits is relatively few, which led to her having only 640 Life Value at level 0 when Lin Rui first met her!

Her leveling speed definitely can't match Lin Rui's, as she has a powerful seal on her, and there's no other way to increase the speed except by blood and flesh mountains and rivers of soldiers, gradually wearing down the seal bit by bit.

However, starting over might be a good thing, as at least she can accumulate attribute points each time she levels up. Once she returns to her peak, these accumulated attribute points can continue to elevate her, breaking through to unprecedented heights.

It's even possible that her traits might increase by a dozen or so along with her tier advancement. But Lin Rui can't be sure of this; he'll have to ask her in the future.

Currently, the situation is that she should avoid taking action unless necessary. The increase in over 10,000 points of Physical Defense and Spiritual Resistance provided by the Tier Twelve Clan Badge is enough to ensure that assassinations from soldiers below a super-tier can't penetrate her defenses. Even assassinations above super-tier can have significant Divine Resistance and True Damage reduction.

Moreover, the Tier Twelve Spiritual Gem has two more powerful effects: evading the first attack from an opponent in every battle, which is extremely important to Wutong.

This evasion is reinforced by the wearer's traits, meaning that attacks below the legendary level will certainly be evaded if a Legendary hero wears it.

For Lin Rui, who is Mythical Level, all attacks below Mythical Level will be evaded.

This ensures that the Blood-colored Demon Shadow can't perform a surprise kill on Lin Rui with a single strike. Even if the Blood-colored Demon Shadow's talent and traits are exactly the same as Lin Rui's, reaching Mythical Level, it will still be affected by this trait and fail to hit, being inevitably evaded.

For Wutong, this effect is even more potent. It means no assassination could possibly be fatal in one strike.

For an Empress, if the opponent can't deliver a fatal blow in one strike, there's no chance for a second move.

This trait is simply the emperor's amulet, the nemesis of assassins.

Lin Rui, slightly excited, placed it on his chest. The powerful energy of the Tier Twelve Spiritual Gem surged in instantly, making Lin Rui feel as if he had broken through countless shackles and truly experienced the power and commanding presence of a high-tier world.

Seeing Lin Rui's Spiritual Reaction skyrocketing, Audrey, excited, danced and said, "Father, you have gained immensely this time. I'm really sorry I didn't go with you to slay Setra, or I could have gotten a very suitable strategic trait."

If Audrey had defeated that Undead Emperor, she might have obtained a trait extremely suited for commanding the undead.

After all, as a hero of the dark influence, even with dark inheritance, Audrey could profit handsomely.

But unfortunately, Audrey's traits mainly increase Physical Output and Spiritual Output. Her traits and role are about forming a massive Undead Legion to hold the line and eliminate the opponent's low-tier cannon fodder. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It's not well-suited for high-tier battles. To put it simply, she's great at slaughtering the weak, but struggles in top-tier battles.

However, this time's victory over Setra did yield quite a bit of Dark Element's blast fall, and Lin Rui casually pulled out the Dark Origin.

[Dark Origin: At the pinnacle of fantasy, darkness shrouds the earth, with the origin sprouting at summit's peak, akin to Phoenix Nirvana, reborn in the world. In the dark sea, the surging waves pulse, the origin gathering at the deep sea's floor, like a Giant Dragon lurking, awaiting the day of awakening. After using Dark Origin, the talent of dark troop types can be enhanced, with costs related to their talent tier.]

Lin Rui has 4,500 units of this Dark Origin!

Lin Rui handed half of it to Audrey, saying, "You can try this."

Astonished to see Lin Rui retained half, Audrey asked, "Father, what are you keeping it for? Who are you going to perform Dark Transformation on?"

Lin Rui didn't hide anything, saying, "I plan to enhance the Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestesses. Their power no longer matches the main force of the domain."

The Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestesses are undoubtedly vampire ladies and belong to the dark troop category.

Their Crimson Mist significantly impacts the entire army, currently reducing Life Value by 6 points every second.

[Crimson Blood Moon: Strategic Treasure: Under the Blood Moon, the Crimson Mist extends, yet it can only obscure our vision, unable to smother the flames and hope within. The Crimson Mist is the stage for vampires; they trade in death, seeking the eternity of life in the night. Under the veil of Crimson Mist, the vampires display their Blood Race prowess, making mortals unable to resist the temptation of eternity. Each vampire soldier of the Commander enhances the power of the Blood Moon, thus generating stronger Crimson Mist. Within the Crimson Mist, the vampire soldiers can additionally augment the crimson mist intensity, and when attacking opponents, they apply a Crimson Bleed effect, lasting 3 seconds, with the bleed damage depending on the crimson mist's intensity. Vampire soldiers attacking enemies with the Crimson Bleed effect restore immediately the point of Life Value equal to the crimson mist's intensity. Non-vampire soldiers suffer corrosion every second while in the crimson mist, with corrosion value being the intensity of the red mist *1‰]

This strategic treasure is on Lin Rui, so it affects the entire army. Currently, the corrosion value is 6 points of damage per second.

Obviously, with this effect, the number of vampire ladies can't be further expanded.

Six points of damage per second are tough even for the human main force to endure.

To enhance their combat power, the only way is to improve their talent.

Due to Lin Rui's two expansions through Plane War Reputation, among the nearly 6,000 Crimson Chalice: Battle Priestesses of over five large teams, two-thirds are at Elite-level.

This talent level is undoubtedly somewhat low.

And the combat power gap between Elite-level Battle Priestesses and Rare Level Battle Priestesses is obviously substantial. Beyond having significantly superior attack and defense than the Elite-level Combat Priests, the greatest difference with the Rare Level Battle Priestesses is that when the Crimson Chalice overflows, it doesn't only restore a soldier's Life Value but also grants the same restoration to themselves. Any overflow recovery from either themselves or the target transforms into Blood Shield protection for both sides.

This shield's effect, in the Golden Pansy Domain, is practically akin to a second life, as after a Golden Pansy Domain shield, a Sub-Invincible Shield always follows, enhancing combat power as well.

And this is just an enhancement at the Rare Level; at Heroic Spirit Level, they can chain lock three units simultaneously, refreshing a healing effect with each attack, making the Battle Priestesses at this level truly live up to their name.

Lin Rui also wishes to test how much Dark Origin can enhance the Battle Priestesses.
