Chapter 862: Chapter 422: Bone of the Demon God_2

This also explains why the difficulty of this ultimate boss is so absurdly high: someone has intentionally set it to be this challenging, likely with the aim of delaying players from clearing the game.

[You have discovered a complete God’s Corpse!]

[Now, you have the option to extract the blood and bones from this God’s Corpse to provide resources for your God of Order inheritance; or you could choose to tread the path of demons, worship the Demon God, and use the God of Order’s Corpse as nourishment for the Demon God! So, you choose...]

[1, Worship the Demon God! You will initiate the Demon God’s inheritance quest, but this will also invalidate the God of Order’s inheritance quest and cause you to lose your status as Lord of Dawn City.]

[2, Condense the Demon God’s Corpse, extract the Divine Blood and Divine Bone, to provide resources for your God of Order inheritance.]

[3, Turn a blind eye and continue forward, confident that you will encounter better God’s Corpses on the road ahead.]

Out of the three options, 3 is definitely not worth considering, given the undeniable power of the Demon God, and the difficulty in finding a better God’s Corpse.

The first option, to worship the Demon God, left Mu You feeling slightly disappointed.

He had initially thought that with a dual-faith physique, he might be able to receive the inheritance quests from both gods, but it now seemed impossible; one can have dual faith, but the inheritance can still only be of one kind.

This meant that for the Secondary Belief, he could only learn the Divine Arts of that lineage and use items from that lineage to support his Primary Faith, without being able to directly acquire a second Divine Skin.

Mu You shook his head; with this in mind, option 1 was also out of the question. The Demon God was indeed powerful, but it seemed to fall short compared to the God of Order, and the cost of choosing option 1 was also too great, as it would result in him losing his identity as Lord of Dawn City, which was unacceptable to Mu You.

[You have chosen to condense the Demon God’s Corpse!]

[Note: The Demon God’s Corpse is providing energy for the ’Seven Sins Demon King’ at the top of the tower to materialize. If the Demon God’s Corpse disappears, the ’True God Bloodline’ of the Demon King at the top of the tower will also disappear. Are you sure?]

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback; this God’s Corpse could influence the strength of the Demon King at the top of the tower?

After condensing the God’s Corpse, the ’True God Bloodline’ entry for the Demon King would disappear.

While only this one entry would change, the impact was immense!

The True God Bloodline was precisely that passive ability that allowed the Demon King’s life to be multiplied by a hundredfold.

Without this bloodline, the Demon King would only have a little over eighty thousand health in total. When compared to a Demon King with eight million health, the difficulty level would be reduced by an unknown number of times!

Moreover, with the help of those ten special curse items, even players with a basic foundation would have a chance of clearing the stage...

"Such a significant impact..."

Mu You touched his chin, pondering whether this was the reason why the one who set up the Demon King’s difficulty wanted to delay the players’ progress?

Once the first person cleared the stage, subsequent progress would be swift because the difficulty had plummeted, leading to a surge of players clearing the stage one after another.

And now, Mu You’s use of special means to sneak through the map many days in advance had probably disrupted the plans of the one who had set up the Demon King.

What changes would this cause?

Mu You pondered for a moment and eventually decided to condense the God’s Corpse.

He had no choice; there was really no other option for him.

Mu You had already noticed that apart from himself, there were others trying to cheat their way through the game. If he didn’t extract the Demon God’s power and someone else later cleared the challenge and took the Demon God away, the result would be the same, except he would have missed out on a precious God’s Corpse.

Mu You shook his head and chose option 2.

[You have decided to condense the Demon God’s Corpse!]

[Because the Demon God governs the divine authority of the seven deadly sins, when condensing the God’s Corpse, you may choose to imprint one of those authorities onto the Bone of the Demon God. When you use the Bone of the Demon God to enhance your own inheritance, that authority will manifest as a Divine Art, becoming part of your inherited power. However, as it is an external authority, this Divine Art cannot be enhanced through faith and will always maintain its initial level.]

[Which authority do you choose to imprint?]

Seven options: [Sin of Wrath], [Sin of Envy], [Sin of Gluttony], [Sin of Greed], [Sin of Lust], [Sin of Sloth], [Sin of Arrogance].

"Huh?"

Mu You was delighted to learn that he could also take away one of the Demon God’s abilities!

Mu You clearly remembered the description of the Divine Bone, which could be fused multiple times into the body to continuously raise the limit of Divine Skin’s power.

He had just discovered that Divine Bones also varied! Ordinary Divine Bones garnered from common deities would only be akin to blank items that boosted basic attributes; whereas Divine Bones with authority, in addition to the base attributes, would grant an additional ability to the Divine Skin!

He wasn’t sure how many Divine Bones could be fused at most, but there was definitely a maximum, and it would not be possible to increase indefinitely. Thus, each Divine Bone used for fusion became incredibly important.

Ordinary Divine Bones were numerous and easy to obtain, but they had a low cap. If possible, it was undoubtedly best to fuse them all into authoritative Divine Bones. Moreover, these authoritative powers should optimally synergize with the original inheritance; there was just so much to consider...

With these thoughts in mind, Mu You turned his attention back to the text.

Out of the seven options, the powers of the seven deadly sins, Mu You had already experienced them in his battles with the Demon King, though those were nearly maxed-out abilities at 13 stars. Here, he could only obtain the initial effects.

Firstly, Mu You cycled through the seven options one by one to see their effects.
