Chapter 906: Chapter 426: The Mage Shell of a Top-tier Demigod, Characters and Rhythm Laws

The Great Sage’s arrangement seemed to be one of concern for his subordinates, yet Lin Xun sensed a whiff of suspicion in it.

If he were to comply with the arrangement and stay here to heal, fearing to go to the Multivision Association, he would undoubtedly confirm the Great Sage’s suspicions.

He feared that the Great Sage would place him under control on the spot.

According to the Great Sage’s logic, even if this ’Sage Osborne’ truly was a True God’s Messenger in disguise, he would not be able to exert strength that surpassed the Sage himself.

Aside from Sage Osborne, there were four other Sages present, plus the Great Sage of Direct View himself, suppressing and controlling a True God’s Messenger would be a piece of cake.

If Sage Osborne took the initiative to volunteer, to apply to intercept the True God’s Messenger, that would be even better.

No matter whether Osborne was a True God’s Messenger in disguise or not, he was under the Great Sage’s control and could not stir up any trouble.

Lin Xun sneered coldly and, while following the Sages onto the horse-drawn carriage that entered into the mist, he opened the Shell panel to check his attributes.

[Shell—Seeker of Knowledge from Direct View Branch Association Sage]

[True Name: Osborne]

[Affinity: 126% (+65%)]

[Shell Quality: Mythical+ Level (Affinity has surpassed the critical point; Shell quality has improved!)]

[Shell Level: 130]

[Shell Equipment: ’Direct View Sage’s Robe’ (Mythical Level Armor): ...]

[Shell Equipment: ’Pursuer of Knowledge Magic Wand’ (Mythical Level Weapon): ...]

[Shell Skills: ’Knowledge Surge’ (Legend+ Level Skill): ...]

[Shell Skills: ’Knowledge Dragon Spear’ (Legend+ Level Skill): ...]

[Shell Skills: ’Knowledge Light Wall’ (Mythical Level Skill): ...]

[Shell Skills: ’Glyph Mastery’ (Mythical Level Skill): From the powerful eye of a Deep Sea Cyclops, a mythical creature, and after multiple ocular transplants and syntheses, acquired the formidable special skill known as ’Glyph Mastery’.]

[The power of this special skill is not as great as the ultimate magic ’Endless Knowledge Flood’, but its advantage lies in its ability to be deployed instantly without long incantations, allowing for immediate explosive release.]

[Using this skill requires a significant amount of mana, please use it with caution.]

[Shell Skills: ’Endless Knowledge Flood’ (Mythical Level Skill): ...]

Unlike the useless Star Spirit who had fumbled with stats, Sage Osborne not only had a Shell level of 130, but his Shell Quality, with the bonus in Affinity, finally reached the Mythical+ rank.

The special skill known as ’Glyph Mastery’, like the ’Insight into Weakness’ skill, originated from a special eyeball.

The desperate final strike of Sage Osborne before his death was presumably through the use of a magical scroll that reinforced the power of this skill, resulting in devastating destructive power.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but sigh; it was not easy, after all the hassle, he had finally acquired a top-tier Demigod Mage’s Shell.

Shell Quality is the most important indicator of a Shell’s strength.

When the difference in Shell level is not significant, being one rank higher in Shell Quality than the opponent means that even if every other data attribute is slightly behind, one can still overcome the enemy by virtue of the Shell Quality advantage.

However, if Lin Xun were to confront the Great Sage of Direct View with Osborne’s Shell, his chances of victory would not be great.

The reason being that only the Shell Quality had increased with Affinity; other attributes such as skills, level, and equipment still remained at the Sage level of Mythical rank.

The Great Sage’s skills and equipment were likely to be of Mythical+ quality, and his Shell level was definitely above that of a Sage.

Lin Xun did not know how his own knowledge, after a significant boost, compared to that of the Great Sage.

He only knew that his sole advantage over the Great Sage was the strength amplification of his Shell from Sacred Objects.

However, since the amplification factor of Sacred Objects was quite variable, that’s why he estimated that his chances of winning were not high.

[The carriage slowed to a stop, the door opened, and the dense fog flowed into the carriage.] 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

[You followed the Sages out of the carriage and barely discerned the outline of a massive structure standing in the mist in the distance.]

[You understood that this was the Branch Association of the Polyvision School stationed in the Second Capital.]

[The Great Sage gestured for you Sages to begin drawing a glyph Magic Array, while it closed its eyes to meditate, emitting powerful mental energy in all directions, ready to be immediately aware of anyone entering its range of perception.]

[You followed the Sages in laying out the magic materials, carving the binding Magic Array...]

[You knew the Great Sage would never wait for the ’True God’s Messenger’, and once it could not find its target for a long time, your level of suspicion would skyrocket, and the Great Sage might turn its spearhead toward you.]

[As an Apostle with a guilty conscience, what should you do?]

[1. Flee towards the Multivision Branch Association without looking back; as long as you can escape into it, with your status as a True God’s Messenger, you will surely receive protection from the Polyvision School and thus escape from the Great Sage of Direct View.]

[2. Voluntarily surrender to the Great Sage and reveal your identity as a True God’s Messenger; if what the Great Sage said was true, it would not kill you but would imprison you, and the outcome of heading to the Multivision Association might be more miserable than being at the Direct View Association.]

[3. Immediately stop carving the Magic Array, take advantage of the fact the Great Sage of Direct View is meditating, and launch a surprise attack; if you wait for the binding Magic Array to be completed, you will be waiting for death on the spot.]

Lin Xun carefully reviewed the options, analyzing seriously.

Among the three options, the first was undoubtedly the most reliable.

After taking over Sage Osborne’s body, his Shell’s tier was comparable to the Great Sage’s, and even if he were to be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation, if he was determined to escape, the Great Sage might not be able to stop him.
