#675 - Another Possibility of Ascension
Pearl Sea,
Originally, this isolated island in the middle of the sea was completely destroyed in the battle between Liszt and O'Neill.
The aftermath of the two legends' battle spread, creating waves of more than ten meters high from the battlefield's center, sweeping towards the distance.
Whether it was the fish or sea beasts in the ocean, they were desperately fleeing outwards at this moment.
However, at the center of the battle, it suddenly became calm.
Although O'Neill's consciousness was eroded by the totem spirit, it did not mean he had lost his mind.
He looked at Liszt and his severed left arm in disbelief.
He had been blessed by the power of the legendary totem spirit, and his physical strength and intensity had become extremely powerful.
How could he be cut off by Klaus's blade?
The muscles at O'Neill's severed arm kept twisting, swelling into a huge sarcoma.
Then, a complete left arm was born again from the sarcoma.
However, Liszt could feel that although O'Neill had the ability to regenerate his limbs, his aura was still weakened a bit.
This was still a significant blow to O'Neill.
O'Neill's gaze towards Liszt also carried a stronger sense of vigilance.
He didn't react at all to the thunderous strike just now, and its power was extremely terrifying.
Liszt looked at O'Neill and continued to press forward, engaging in close combat with O'Neill.
Since he was prepared to build the identity of the merman legend Klaus, Liszt would not be unprepared.
In fact, in order to hide his spellcasting abilities, Liszt spent a lot of time specifically constructing a new set of combat techniques.
When facing enemies stronger than him, he could exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses to strike at their vital points.
When facing enemies weaker than him, he could comprehensively crush them without giving them any chance.
Most people would be satisfied with this, but Liszt was not.
The damage caused by different skills has different attribute bonuses.
Generally, it's a single attribute bonus, and skills with multiple attribute bonuses are rare.
For Liszt, skills with multiple attribute bonuses could fully exploit his strengths.
Previously, the special arcane magic 【Liszt's Blue Flame Demon Sword】 that Liszt created was one of them.
However, after that, Liszt's strength improved too quickly, and there was no time or need to create this kind of special skill that could only be used for a short period.
But now that Liszt has achieved legend, this aspect should indeed be put on the agenda.
Compared to creating skills with a combination of intelligence, strength, agility and other attributes, skills with strength, speed, and endurance attributes are simpler.
After all, these three attributes are all related to physical strength and are easier to link together.
And there are already many related skills that have dual or even multiple attribute bonuses, and Liszt has learned a lot from Joyce.
With a reference object, Liszt integrated multiple legendary domains such as 【Wave】 and 【Destruction】 according to his own state and needs, and created a new set of combat skills.
Liszt named it 【Liszt's Surging Wave Sword Technique】!
This is a new ability that Liszt created specifically for the merman legend Klaus.
The characteristic of this sword technique is that it has the terrifying destructive power of a tsunami, and also extremely swift speed, the only drawback is that it puts too much burden on the user's body.
Assassins and rangers like that shouldn't even think about learning it, but it's just right for Liszt, who has a high endurance bonus.
The small test on O'Neill was quite effective.
Every strike hit home, making O'Neill suffer unspeakably.
For a time, O'Neill felt that he had completely lost control of the situation.
The entire battlefield was filled with blood and flesh, everywhere were O'Neill's limbs and minced meat that Liszt had chopped off.
O'Neill didn't sit still and wait for death, desperately resisting, although his strength had greatly increased after being possessed by the totem spirit, but unfortunately his speed was too different from Liszt's, and his attacks were difficult to effectively hit Liszt.
But O'Neill didn't give up easily.
He had expected that if he lost this legendary battle, he might lose control of the Pearl Sea merman united tribe.
But sometimes, the outcome of the battle does not change because of his will.
I don't know how long it has passed, the sun in the sky has disappeared, and the bright moon and stars have appeared in the dark night sky.
This battle has been going on for a long time.
Even the Pearl Clan in the distance noticed something was wrong here, and Belian came here after receiving the news.
However, the terrifying fluctuations in the battlefield made it impossible for mermen below the legendary level to approach.
Looking at the earth-shattering movements in the distance, Belian's yearning in his heart became even more profound.
And at this moment in the battlefield, when Liszt cut off all the octopus tentacles of O'Neill's lower body again, O'Neill could no longer bear it, and quickly retreated, while shouting:
"You win, I admit defeat!"
"How about we stop here, I don't think you want to fight to the end, do you?"
"Heh!"
Liszt held the heavy long knife in his right hand, waving it lightly in his hand, looking down at O'Neill condescendingly.
However, after O'Neill begged for mercy, Liszt did not continue to attack.
Although he was stronger than O'Neill, he was only limited in strength without using spellcasting abilities.
He could also sense that although O'Neill's current state was terrible, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
Achieving the goal is enough, with O'Neill, this legendary priest, Liszt can block the people from the Church of the Ocean Goddess more.
"Old thing, I said you can't do it, dare to fight with your Grandpa Klaus again?"
"I really didn't expect that you are so young, but so strong?"
O'Neill said with a sigh of relief, while stripping the totem spirit from his body.
The totem spirit's possession put a lot of pressure on him, and the totem spirit left O'Neill's body and returned to the twelve coral pillars behind him.
Looking at the departing azure totem spirit, Liszt's eyes flickered.
He was quite interested in this totem spirit.
Or rather, he was interested in any existence related to the power of faith.
But now it's more about O'Neill in front of him.
After the totem spirit left his body, his huge body slowly returned to its original thin body.
Liszt looked at O'Neill and said mockingly:
"Quickly tell me how Mateo died, or be careful I'll beat you up again!"
"I didn't expect Mateo to have a friend like you, really..."
O'Neill said with a wry smile, feeling a little complicated.
Now it seems that Klaus should really be here for Mateo, Mateo, this guy, never told him about such a thing.
He is wary of him!
Ocean Goddess is above, he really doesn't have any bad intentions,
Even O'Neill felt a little sad at this moment.
But he didn't remain silent,
After all, Klaus's long knife is still shaking in front of him!
"Since you are Mateo's friend, then it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Looking at O'Neill who had softened, where was the insistence when you called this your tribe's secret before?
What a flexible bottom line!
But Liszt didn't interrupt him, but gestured with the tip of his knife for him to speak quickly.
At this time, O'Neill no longer had the indifferent attitude he had before, and honestly said:
"Actually, when Mateo died, I was by his side."
"But I didn't kill him, but he failed the challenge, and the ending was destined to be death."
"He has to die if he fails the challenge?"
Liszt frowned slightly, could it be the Road to Godhood?
For legends, the biggest reason for death is failure on the Road to Godhood, followed by disappearance, and finally old age.
There are not many legendary powerhouses who died in battle.
But that's not right either.
The Road to Godhood is dangerous in the later stages, when any failure can lead to irreparable consequences.
And Mateo's strength should not have touched the point where failure is inevitable?
Even Liszt and O'Neill are far from it?
"Are you referring to the Road to Godhood?"
Seeing that Liszt knew the secret of the Road to Godhood, O'Neill didn't care.
The Road to Godhood has irresistible temptation for most legends.
It is normal for Klaus, who is so strong, to know the secret of the Road to Godhood.
Secrets are only relative.
"Yes, and no."
O'Neill nodded and said.
"Tsk!"
Liszt pretended to be impatient, and slashed a knife next to O'Neill, then sat down in front of him and looked at him coldly.
The meaning was that if you, old thing, are nagging again, be careful to teach you a lesson again.
Seeing this, O'Neill's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to fight Liszt again after suffering a great loss just now.
He quickly said:
"I said yes, because Mateo and I did want to take the Road to Godhood."
"The reason for not is that Mateo did not die because of the Road to Godhood."
After a pause, O'Neill took the initiative to say:
"Mateo and I have been legends for a long time, and naturally we want to obtain eternal life through the Road to Godhood."
"But perhaps it is the limitation of the tribe, or it may be that Mateo and I do not have this talent, the two of us are almost unable to move on the Road to Godhood, and the distance from igniting the divine fire is too far."
"Mateo and I were not reconciled, so we changed our goal."
Changed the goal?
Road to Godhood?
Power of faith?
Liszt looked at O'Neill in front of him, and suddenly asked:
"Is it related to the totem spirit?"
O'Neill looked at Liszt in surprise, and nodded after a long time and said:
"Yes, the two of us did put our goal on the totem spirit."
"As long as the Pearl Sea merman tribe does not disappear, the totem spirit also has eternal life under the tribe's power of faith."
"So the two of us wanted to replace the consciousness of the totem spirit and incarnate into the totem spirit to survive."
These two... are quite imaginative!
Liszt looked at O'Neill in front of him with some emotion.
No wonder the power of the totem spirit just now was so strange and chaotic, and the performance after possessing O'Neill was also strange, just like some chaotic evil gods.
O'Neill and Mateo should have completely shattered the vague consciousness in the totem spirit, which would have such a performance.
"After Mateo and I were ready, Mateo tried first, but his challenge failed, there should be something we didn't pay attention to."
"Mateo also died because of this."
O'Neill then said, shaking his head as if he was very sorry.
Liszt looked at O'Neill and didn't quite believe what he said.
This old thing... is not honest!
At most five or six points of what he just said are true.
Why did Mateo, as a legendary warrior, dare to try this obviously unreliable attempt first?
No matter how you look at it, O'Neill, as a legendary priest, has a greater chance of success, right?
Even if Mateo volunteered to try, he must have been deceived by O'Neill to let him go and scout the minefield first.
Thinking of this, Liszt's gaze towards O'Neill became a little unkind.
O'Neill felt a little hairy from Liszt's gaze, and he didn't dare to fight Liszt again after suffering a great loss just now.
He quickly said:
"Because Mateo failed, I didn't dare to try again in a short time, so I temporarily delayed it."
"I came here today to protect the Pearl Clan."
"Mateo is dead, I will protect Belian and the Pearl Clan."
"But also let them know that they should not have other ideas, so I wanted to prepare to take action when it was about to end, but I didn't expect Klaus you to be here."
At this time, O'Neill no longer dared to underestimate Klaus in any way, don't look at him being rough, his keen mind just now made O'Neill shudder.
He also dispelled some of the small thoughts in his heart.
Such as fooling Liszt to try to replace the totem spirit or something.
Although he realized O'Neill's little thoughts, Liszt did not expose them.
Anyway, he came here not because he really wanted to avenge Mateo.
He still has a lot of things that need O'Neill's help, if he really exposes him with his at least shown "friendship" with Mateo, he would have to beat this guy to death to avenge his friend.
However, O'Neill and Mateo's attempt gave Liszt a new idea.
In addition to becoming a god through the Road to Godhood, priest and other professional abilities, the powerful existence related to the power of faith is the totem spirit.
Like some powerful beast tribes, their totem spirits are equivalent to demigod-level powerhouses.
It is said that some gods of the beast god system were once totem spirits of the beast tribe.
That is to say, totem spirits may have some very close relationship with gods in some aspects.
This is another idea for Liszt.
Can he open up a completely different path for Sphinx's God Ascension Technique by cultivating totem spirits?
The biggest benefit of totem spirits to Liszt is that the power of faith can be completely separated from himself without affecting Liszt's own path.
Liszt can collect the power of faith by cultivating totem spirits and convert it into power that he can control.
It is somewhat similar to the concept of an external avatar.
Liszt also happens to have a powerful clone skill like 【Mirror Body】 to carry Liszt's attempt.
Thinking of this, Liszt felt a little eager in his heart.
"Since this is the case, I have a request."
Li Si looked at O'Neill, pointed at the twelve coral pillars behind him that supported the totem spirits, and sneered, "These few corals are all mine!"
O'Neill: ?
