Chapter 576: Chapter 322: The Power of God_1

The secret room had just been opened here, and a riot broke out in Dark City. What a coincidence.

It was clear that the opening of this secret room had been sensed by the Dark Elves. And this room seemed to be quite important to them, which triggered such a big reaction.

Now, these Dark Elves might lead an assault on the temple. The Magic Crystal Array that the Goblins were building was almost dismantled by Eugene. The Goblins were at their weakest, and the Dark Elves could possibly break in quite easily this time.

Once the Dark Elves settled in, they definitely wouldn’t let outsiders anywhere near here.

In other words, he didn’t have much time left.

Mu You hurriedly continued playing the game.

[In the deafening battles cries outside, your figure disappeared into the mountain.]

[You appeared in a quaint hexagonal hall.]

[Thousands of statues line the four walls of the grand hall, filled with depictions of humans and beasts, birds and insects encompassing all forms of life.]

[Among the plethora of statues, a gigantic human-shaped statue over 20 meters tall stands tall, encircled by the others. The statue held a wand and was clad in armor. Its majestic pose was accompanied by a set of big white wings that stretched behind its back. The gems set in its eye sockets shone with a holy radiance.]

[Statue of an unknown deity (activated): One can make a lifetime offering to the statue when it is activated. On offering a life-span of 1,000 years or more, the participant will gain one point of ’Power of the Gods’, which permanently increases your attack power by one point.]

"???"

Mu You almost thought he had read it wrong.

An offering of a thousand years of life for one point of attack power.

Are the Gods really this stingy?

Mu You frowned at the instructions and tried clicking on the phrase ’Power of the Gods’.

[Power of the Gods: Absolute attack power that remains effective under any circumstance.]

Absolute attack power...

Mu You looked at the simplified description and felt a slight relief.

This attack power seemed to be separate from ordinary attacks. It remained effective under any circumstance. That meant that no matter how high the enemy’s defense or buff, how special their constitution or abilities, he could always inflict at least one point of damage.

In this sense, one point of attack power was of considerable value. But with the price being 1,000 years of life, it didn’t exactly seem like a bargain.

Mulling over its special mechanism, Mu You decided to proceed with the exchange.

Right now he isn’t lacking in lifespan. He currently has 1,752 years of lifespan left. And just being the city lord provides him with 50 years of lifespan income per day. In consideration, 1,000 years is actually just 20 days’ salary.

[You walked in front of the statue and chose to make a life offering.]

[Please enter the amount of lifespan you want to offer]

A text box popped up below and Mu You entered ’1000’.

[You made an offering of 1,000 years of lifespan to the unknown deity, remaining lifespan: 752 years.]

[You received one ’Power of Gods’.]

Mu You opened the panel to take a look. There was an additional line on the panel called ’Power of Gods’.

[Offering ends, the divine light in the eyes of the deity’s statue quietly dimmed, turning into an ordinary statue.]

[You were pushed out of the grand hall by a mysterious force and returned to the temple corridor.]

[At the same time, the seventeen ’Pilgrimage Fire Basins’ in the temple were simultaneously extinguished.]

Mu You felt helpless— this thing had so many restrictions! For one, inviting the God only once a week, and each person could only receive the Power of Gods once in their lifetime. With that, this deity statue would hardly be activated at all throughout the year.

Mu You shook his head. Gunfire was already echoing from the direction of the entrance in the game. Clearly, the army of Dark Elves had started fighting with the Goblins at the temple entrance.

He needed to start acting too. He could clear out the Goblins and complete the task later, but for now, he needed to collect the Robot Coils.

[You materialized in the middle of the hallway, immediately attracting the attention of a Goblin Engineer up ahead.]

[The Goblin charged at you in a beast-shaped robot.]

[Beast-shaped Combat Robot (Level 15), Attack Power (weakened): 9-12, HP: 11000, Abilities: Beast Roar, Claw Bite, Self-Destruction upon death.]

[Due to insufficient energy received by the robot, the robot’s attack power and speed are reduced by 90%.]

As expected, the disturbance caused by Eugene had an effect, the functionalities of these robots were insufficient and their abilities greatly reduced, Mu You was not afraid of fighting.

[You summoned 5 treemen.]

[You cast Fireball Technique against the robot...]

The battle procedure was just as usual— nothing really to mention about it. Without its underlings, the robot was nothing but a punching bag. He unleashed magic wildly, and soon emptied its HP.

[You killed the Battle Robot, experience+15.]

[The robot self-destructs automatically. An intense flame instantly engulfed the nearby five meters, causing all your treemen to turn into ashes and disappear.]

[You searched the place where the robot self-destructed and found ’Robot Coil’*1.]

The Goblin Clan’s hereditary self-destruction, it seemed to be well inherited by these Alchemy Robots. And the power of this self-explosion was rather terrifying— even the treeman with a thousand HP was taken out in one go.

If it was just that it would be alright, but the Goblins in the robots die with them, and since it counted as death from self-explosion, they died and directly respawned at the city, not counting towards his kills. So there were no lifespan gains, apart from the Robot Coils there weren’t any other spoils of war. Strictly speaking, grinding these things was quite a loss.
