Ashen God

Chapter 880: Accelerated Time!


"Compared to my Constitution attribute, which has already overflowed double digits, my Intelligence attribute is also on track to overflow by double digits. After all, the Limitless Universe Skill has not yet reached its full potential. Once it is maxed out, based on past experience, my Intelligence attribute will certainly overflow into double digits."

Zhang Yanhang only had seven points overflowing in his Intelligence attribute initially, but now, thanks to the Limitless Universe Skill, he's gained another point, making it a total of eight points overflowing. He's indeed very close to overflowing into double digits, needing only two more points.

After checking the attribute list, Zhang Yanhang felt like he had no other pressing matters to attend to, so he opened his data panel for a quick look.

"This time the changes in the data panel are quite significant due to upgrading skills and consuming several bottles of the Ancestor Virus. Except for maintaining Level LV.40, almost every other aspect has changed significantly."

Among these changes, the increase in his Shield Value limit stands out the most. Initially, it was over 90,000, but now it has reached 144954 points, an increase of more than 50,000 points, nearly half in a single boost.

Likewise, the Life Value limit has seen a similar rise. Initially, it was less than 20,000, and now it has jumped to over 30,000, another massive increase.

Although the Energy Value limit hasn't changed this time, that's understandable, given that a Tyrant-type biochemical monster isn't particularly proficient in energy attacks.

"However, the disparity between my Energy Value limit and Life Value limit has indeed grown. Previously, when my Life Value limit was under 20,000, the Energy Value of 14290 points was still manageable, with a mere 5000-point difference.

But now that the Life Value has reached 30841 points, while the Energy Value limit remains at 14290 points, it widens the gap to a staggering 16551 points. Now, the Life Value limit is more than double the Energy Value limit."

This situation brings Zhang Yanhang back to the early stages of his journey when such a large gap existed between the Life Value and Energy Value limits. It was only through his persistent efforts that he eventually managed to balance them to some degree.

Yet now, that balance has undeniably been broken. The disparity is now more than double.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang has no doubt that during subsequent clearings, the gap between his Life Value limit and Energy Value limit will continue to widen. Because not only will he continue to strengthen the Life Ring, but also increase the skill level of Indestructible Golden Body.

By then, the Life Value limit and Energy Value limit disparity may not only double but could even increase by twice, considering the potential gains from other means, like new discoveries in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field that might improve the Life Value limit.

"Moreover, beyond those, the gap between the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient is significant. Currently, my Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient is 79 points, while the Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient is 58 points, a gap of 21 points."

During his tier advancement, Zhang Yanhang had increased the relevant coefficients by only fifteen points. Therefore, without any interventions, this gap will not restore balance naturally, but will grow more pronounced with attribute increases.

Unquestionably, compared to Life Value, Energy Value is just as crucial to Zhang Yanhang. The potential strength of his Multiple Choice talent heavily relies on the Energy Value limit. This alone necessitates the enhancement of the Energy Value limit.

Moreover, his current Dual-choice requires sacrificing the Energy Value limit to function, increasing the urgency to elevate the Energy Value limit.

"Unfortunately, although I'm in desperate need to raise the Energy Value limit, and significantly so, I currently lack the channels and means to achieve such an increase."

At least Zhang Yanhang felt that there was no hope for the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field here.

Judging from the fact that his initial talent was a Constitution talent, and the Lucky Slot Machine also offered artifacts related to the Constitution Attribute that could increase the limit of Life Value and the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient, it's impossible for the Tyrants here to drop anything that increases the energy value limit; they are just a bunch of pure muscle brutes.

"Currently, the only boost I have to increase the energy value limit is the 60% bonus provided by the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline. If I want to further enhance the energy value limit in the future, perhaps I should focus on continuing to enhance the Talent Level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline.

Moreover, in addition to the crucial energy value limit boost, enhancing the Scroll Dragon Bloodline can also refresh the Spell List, allowing me to acquire more spells."

Zhang Yanhang wanted to acquire more spells that could alter the form of his body, similar to Giant Transformation, Frenzy Skill, or Transformation Technique, as well as other buff spells. Of course, he would not refuse powerful nine-ring spells like Time Pause, Time Jump, or even Time Acceleration.

"Looking at it this way, perhaps I should find ways to explore other higher-tier areas related to the Goblin Plain in the future.

And since it's about the Scroll Dragon Bloodline, finding some higher-tier dragon-related areas, particularly those related to the dragon in the DND power system, should mostly enhance the Talent Level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline."

Zhang Yanhang felt that it was indeed necessary to enhance the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline because the current 60% boost to the energy value limit was starting to become slightly inadequate for him.

"But finding new areas related to dragons or Dragon Vein Goblins can only be resolved by the Fifth Tier, as this Fourth Tier only requires clearing the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field area to advance, leaving no time to clear other new areas."

Besides continuing to enhance the SS-level Scroll Dragon Bloodline talent, Zhang Yanhang thought that he might also look forward to what professional skills he could gain upon advancing to the Fifth Tier.

After all, since he previously acquired the Indestructible Golden Body that increased the Life Value limit, isn't there a possibility of acquiring a similar skill that increases the energy value limit at the Fifth Tier?

Zhang Yanhang believed this was possible since the Multiple Choice mechanism provides a set of professional skills, most of which correspond. So, it should be possible to look forward to it.

However, one should not hold too much hope because there are only two professional skills per advancement, leaving limited slots for energy value limit skills, and under competitive conditions, it might not outmatch other stronger skills.

Especially skills like Heaven and Earth Devourer or Three-Headed Six-Armed, which have explosive strength; if it's merely to increase the energy value limit, it might not suffice.

Therefore, besides looking forward to the Fifth Tier's professional skills, Zhang Yanhang thought he could also strive to find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Main World to increase the energy value limit, thus addressing both the symptoms and the root causes from three aspects.

"In addition to gaining massive boosts in Life Value limit and Shield Value limit, the attribute values also changed this time, with Constitution exceeding into two digits."

However, compared to the growth in attribute values, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned with the changes in talent. This time, he successfully upgraded his SSS-level talent Immortality to X-level Heavenly Protection Nine Lives, but obviously, he was not satisfied; he wanted to upgrade Heavenly Protection Nine Lives to XXX-level at least.

As for skills, Zhang Yanhang somewhat wanted to enhance Alchemy since he felt the current fusion speed was a bit slow, leaving much room for improvement.

However, he currently didn't have enough Ash Source to enhance Alchemy, let alone the Indestructible Golden Body, Fighting Grandmaster, and Gun Mastery.

Thus, considering combat aspects, he had to temporarily put Alchemy aside, planning to enhance it after opening the Ashen Treasure Box.

As the first skill he acquired after entering the Ashen World, a distinguished Super Elder, Zhang Yanhang believed Alchemy could understand his well-intentioned considerations in this regard.

After reviewing the data panel, Zhang Yanhang briefly tidied up the things on the ground, putting all the fragmented parts into his Waist Bag, while the larger items like the steel cube that just tested his strength were swallowed back into his Stomach Space.

Looking at the ground, which appeared increasingly smaller and more distant in his vision, Zhang Yanhang could not help but open the Skill Effect of Heavenly Earth Form to take a glance; he felt as though he had grown significantly larger as time automatically progressed.

[Heavenly Earth Form·Original LV.6 (Active Skill)]

[Active Effect: After skill activation, the Heavenly Destiny Master can freely change (enlarge) their body, with a maximum transformation limit of 2400%+2700%=5100% [currently 561 meters (+20 meters)], Power Effect +600%. No cooldown, minor Physical Strength consumption.]

[Additional Attributes: Maximum Transformation Limit +2700%.]

"My initial height was 1061 centimeters, but after roughly two hours of time just now, my height increased by another 39 centimeters, reaching a round figure of 1100 centimeters, or eleven meters high."

The reason why two hours didn't yield a forty-centimeter increase was that Zhang Yanhang just checked the time on his watch; it was now 7:42 PM, and there were exactly three minutes left since he last checked the Heavenly Earth Form skill at 5:45 PM.

"No need for rounding anymore. I'm genuinely eleven meters tall now."

In terms of height, with Zhang Yanhang's current standing height on the ground, if we assume each floor is about 2.8 meters, he'd roughly be the height of a four-story building.

Even within Attack on Titan, he belonged to the tallest category of Pure Giants; if he opened his mouth wide, he could swallow a Kara (Allen's mom) whole, directly performing a 'headshot' at the scene, which would certainly be juicy and undoubtedly 'explosive.'

"And with the increase in my own height, the maximum transformation limit of Heavenly Earth Form also increased correspondingly. The original maximum transformation limit was only 641 meters, but now it has reached 561 meters, equating to another twenty-meter growth in maximum transformation limit, which is quite excellent."

If Zhang Yanhang's previous height was equivalent to the eighth tallest in the world, the World Trade Center, then his current height has already reached the level of the seventh tallest building.

The world's seventh tallest building is the Lotte World Tower in South Korea, with a height of 555 meters. Zhang Yanhang's current height has surpassed this seventh tallest building by 6 meters, but overall, they still remain approximately on the same level.

But Zhang Yanhang believed that after a few more hours, his height would definitely surpass this Lotte World Tower, reaching the sixth tallest level globally. No doubt, automatic growth is just this powerful.
