Chapter 85 The Mark of the Godslayer
Alan's eyes lit up!
As expected, there was indeed a way to counteract divine power in this village.
“Terry, you were right about the terrifying influence of that divine power. ,” Alan said, “Without it, I could have easily killed those ice serpents.”
Terry nodded. “Once, an adventurer appeared in our village who killed a god. As a mortal, he slew the Ice Goddess.”
“Yet, his victory angered the gods. The Western deities intervened and sealed our ancient land beneath this endless snow.”
Alan's pupils suddenly contracted.
So,the snow corpse in this dungeon was the Ice Goddess.
"After the adventurer killed the god, he left behind a Godslayer's Mark in the village. I can give you this mark. Once bound, it cannot be removed, and you will be hated by the gods."
Alan's heart tightened.
Terry continued, “But the upside is, you will be immune to divine power, and even gods won't be able to track you.”
Alan felt a bit excited.
Divine power, even after ten years in his previous life, was an unbeatable force.
Although hated by the gods, Alan wasn't deterred.
In his previous life, about two-thirds of foreign gods had joined the Alaite Star System.
"Terry, what about our country's gods? Won't they take action?" Alan asked.
In fact, many people had wondered in his previous life why so many foreign gods appeared,
while the Jinse Empire had none.
If some players hadn't received blessings from Jinse Empire's gods, they might have doubted their existence.
"Our gods?" Terry smiled bitterly. "I don't know either. It's said that our gods engaged in an unprecedented internal war a long, long time ago, causing the heavens and plunging time and space into chaos"
"The continent we are on now is less than one-billionth the size of the world back then."
Alan squinted his eyes. "Are you referring to the ancient Lich's Catastrophe?"
It was a very old myth in the Jinse Empire.
"I don't know if it was the Lich's Catastrophe, but our world was once known as the Wild World."
Alan was taken aback.
If this were true, the gods of the Wild World would dwarf the influence of the Alaite Star System and foreign gods.
"I understand. I am willing to accept the Godslayer's Mark." Alan said.
Becoming a god was difficult; killing a god was even harder.
If someone could kill a god as a mortal, he believed he, Alan, could too.
"Good."
Terry looked at Alan and said solemnly, "Brave adventurer, I hope you can bring a bright future to our village."
Terry placed two fingers on Alan's forehead.
A blood-red mark appeared and then disappeared.
[You have obtained the Godslayer's Mark.]
[Godslayer's Mark: Divine Level.]
[Effect 1: You will be immune to divine power debuffs]
[Effect 2: For every god you kill, you can steal one of their powers.]
[Currently slain god: Ice Goddess (You are immune to ice damage and negative effects)]
Alan was stunned when he saw the level of the Godslayer's Mark.
Especially when he saw the second effect of the mark, he was once again shocked.
Immune to ice damage and negative effects?
This was even better than I could have hoped for.
Leona was an ice mage.
Even with Alan's current attributes, defeating Leona would be very difficult, almost impossible.
But now, with this trait, defeating Leona wouldn't be very simple, but at least it wouldn't be particularly difficult!
Yes, it wouldn't be particularly difficult!
He knew he was being generous in his assessment of the challenge ahead.
"Brave adventurer, good luck. I don't have much to offer, but the sealed ancient kingdom has many treasures guarded by remarkable figures."
Alan nodded. "Alright, I'll rest up and then head out."
He needed to recharge; after all, getting to this point wasn't easy.
If he needed high-intensity combat later, he might not be able to keep up.
Alan logged out of the game.
Alan settled comfortably onto his bed and opened the Ragnarok forum to browse.
Currently, Ragnarok's popularity soared with over 2.5 billion players worldwide.
One-third of the people were playing Ragnarok, a testament to its terrifyingly popular.
While it still retained its popularity, Alan noticed fewer discussions about itself. Instead, more people were talking about talents and job changes.
With the ability tochange jobs at level 20, players were starting to reach level 20 one after another.
Player 1: [After changing jobs, you can learn basic skills, but I got stuck with Summoner. My level 20 skeleton is just slightly better than a regular monster.]Player 2: [You should've gone for a hidden job. I changed to an intermediate hidden job, Ice Summoner. The first skill is to summon an ice bird, a level 25 elite ice bird with great attributes.]
Player 3: [I'm so fed up with Shield Warriors. They're too clumsy, the damage is too low, and the efficiency of soloing monsters is very slow.]
On the forum, people were naturally discussing jobs, and the conversation also turned to talents.
Player 1: [I heard there's a player in the Suncrest Empire with a master-level talent. His master-level talent is so powerful, doubling attack speed, one star doubling it, that's insane.]
Player 2: [Oh my god, we haven't heard of any master-level talents appearing in the Jinse Empire, but several ultra-high-level talents have appeared, and their effects are really impressive.]
Player 3: [I awakened an intermediate talent, one star gives +500 attack power, I think that's pretty good.]
Not everything things had been revealed yet.
Some people didn't like to show off, which didn't mean they were weak. They might have already secretly reached a very high level.
Alan recalled a guy in his previous life who had a god-level talent for double counterattack.
Double counterattack, whether physical or magical attacks; at one star, he could reflect 10% of his Physical Defense and Magic Defense as true damage.
This counterattack wasn't based on the damage taken but on his own Physical Defense and Magic Defense.
For example, if he had 100 points of Magic Defense and faced a magical attack, he could reflect 10% of his Magic Defense, which is 10 points.
The same goes for Physical Defense, but he needed to take physical damage to reflect it.
As a god-level talent, it wasn't limited to counterattacks.
For every physical monster he killed, he would permanently gain one point of Physical Defense.
For every magical monster he killed, he would permanently gain one point of Magic Defense.
And then, the most impressive was that he stayed in the newbie village and didn't come out.
He kept farming low-level monsters to increase his Physical Defense and Magic Defense.
The key was this guy never find it boring; he stayed in the newbie village for an entire year!
He stayed there for a whole year before coming out.
