It's worth knowing that the Mental Attribute is much harder to increase than Constitution. Right now, even counting the bonus from two pieces of Legendary Equipment, Chu Xiu's Mental Value is just over a hundred. This single piece of equipment alone almost doubles his ability to resist Mental Attacks!
"And the next three skills are quite insane!"
A 50-point Mental Attack basically means that it can instantly kill enemies with a Mental Attribute below 25, severely injure those with 50, and you need at least 100 to effectively resist it. To be completely immune, you'd need to reach 200!
"The Corpse King can unleash up to a 100-point Mental Attack, which means I can instantly kill any enemy with a Mental Attribute below 50..."
Chu Xiu couldn't help but take a breath. It's too terrifying. Normally, an S-Class Close Combat Profession's Mental Attribute would only exceed 50 when reaching Warrior Tier Level 9! Even an S-Class Mage Profession wouldn't exceed 100! Only a few professions specializing in soul research can reach higher.
Of course, as Awakened, they more or less have equipment and skills to resist Mental Attacks, so the actual effect won't be this exaggerated. It's a pity that, due to the Corpse King's original Level, this Legendary Equipment's True Tier is only Fierce, a grade lower than the Vampire Count's Wings.
Even so, it's extremely terrifying.
However, what made Chu Xiu a bit curious was that the evaluation mentioned that the Corpse King had been watching and guarding the high tower in solitude for a thousand years, but judging from the underground shelter and some item descriptions, it seemed like it should have only been a few decades since the post-apocalyptic world descended.
He didn't think too much about it, just noted this doubt in his mind, and continued to check the remaining items.
With this equipment setting a high bar, Chu Xiu's expectations for the next two items instantly went up a level.
And the results did not disappoint him.
The evaluation of Blood of Immortality is that it is a drop of blood from the Endless Blood Pool's body, a Fierce Tier artifact. Its effect is that upon use, it can greatly increase constitution for a short period and grant near-immortal healing effects, with efficacy diminishing within a minute.
And the last Trait was a delightful surprise to Chu Xiu. This trait's Tier was also Fierce, and its effect was that it could consume its own Life Force to heal subordinates' Summoned Creatures and designate up to two hundred Summoned Creatures to share 5% of its own Basic Attributes! Plus, there's a small chance of inheriting some skills!
This effect was so powerful that it left Chu Xiu speechless. It's equivalent to directly allocating ten times Chu Xiu's Basic Attributes to his Summoned Creatures! As long as the fusion is successful, it can greatly boost the Demon Legion's power! It almost perfectly aligns with his path as the Supreme Demon Lord!
"A Fierce Tier S-Class Trait is almost equivalent to a Fierce Tier S-Class Talent!"
"As long as it fuses, it's like having an extra S-Class Talent at the Fierce Tier! Even if the Level increases in the future, this Talent will have a significant role!"
"The only concern is the possible Alienation."
Chu Xiu hesitated a bit, looking down, perhaps because the Corpse King was originally human, and also because this is a universal Talent, the Mutant Deviation Rate isn't high, only 0.32%, roughly twice that of Tough Skin (C), which is acceptable considering its high Grade.
But what concerned Chu Xiu was that besides alienation, there was an additional description.
[Pollution: 5.4]
"What on earth is this pollution?"
Chu Xiu had never heard of any traits having this attribute.
But it could be because high-grade Traits are so rare, they barely drop, so there's no relevant information online.
"I should go back and search carefully."
Chu Xiu didn't dwell on it too much, as even if he wanted to fuse it, he'd have to wait until he reached the Fierce Tier.
While he was browsing his gains, one Awakened after another successfully exited, and after the main troop retreated, Zhang Qingshan was also starting to exit, preparing to return to the Awakening Space.
Chu Xiu glanced down, observing Zhang Qingshan, who seemed to have relaxed his guard, and smiled faintly.
It was time to do the last thing.
With a wave of his big hand, a large number of Demons suddenly climbed up the high tower, surrounding Zhang Qingshan!
This caused Zhang Qingshan's face to change dramatically. He hurriedly finished his exit, gripping the spear tightly, pointing at the Demons around him that were eyeing him menacingly, with a bead of cold sweat unconsciously dripping from his forehead, while his teammates behind him also turned pale one by one.
This nervous look reminded Chu Xiu of when he was scared before, making his smile even more pronounced.
He made all the Demons adopt attacking postures, further creating mental stress for his good brother, with a gentle intent to temper his mindset.
Of course, he maneuvered the Demons to keep Zhang Qingshan and his people, not to harm them, quite the opposite, to give them an opportunity.
Although the Corpse King was dead, the conquering of the world mission hadn't ended, only the Blood Moon Ceremony had concluded.
Meaning that the world mission's Contribution Points could still be earned, and even tasks like killing the Corpse King's minions or scouting terrains would count towards Contribution Points.
It's only when the Awakened returns to the Awakening Space that the rewards and ranking for the world mission will start calculating.
"The Corpse King left behind dozens of spawns after all. Even though the Sea of Blood has retreated and the newly hatched Corpse Demons can't be boosted to the Fierce Tier by it, thanks to their high potential, their Contribution Points definitely surpass general Warrior Tier monsters, nearing Fierce Tier!"
"Besides, they are weak in strength, perfectly suitable for farming Contribution Points."
You know that, except for Chu Xiu, the other Awakened had only killed five Fierce Tier, these dozens of tumors would definitely yield a significant amount of contribution.
"If there's good stuff, naturally it's for the good brothers." Chu Xiu smiled slightly.
He now didn't lack these Contribution Points. The Core Anchor Point is in the bag, far surpassing others, so even if he devoured all these monsters, he'd only gain a few more Cause and Effect Points at most.
So, it's better to help his good brother and teammates boost their ranking.
Upon securing the Core Anchor Point, Chu Xiu will have significant ownership in the Corpse Demon World, intending to develop it as a base, although he won't stay there forever, hence needing to recruit additional personnel for management, thereby ensuring long-term revenue.
If his good brother's team develops well, it'll provide plenty of future convenience and support.
"A kingdom is taken in reverse but ruled in harmony; still, a stable environment needs a principled Holy Mother."
Chu Xiu thought if Zhang Qingshan could gain some control, the Corpse Demon World's development would go much smoother.
Moreover, emotionally speaking, Zhang Qingshan and others went back to rescue the Support Profession, suffering quite a bit, and Chu Xiu didn't wish for their ranking to fall behind because of that.
As for Guan Ke and Shen Zhuo, he blocked them too. This girl going back to rescue at a critical moment was a surprise to Chu Xiu, and her own Talent was enough to become a strong aid for Zhang Qingshan. In that case, he didn't mind gifting her an opportunity.
Soon, under Chu Xiu's command, the Demons herded a bunch of the Corpse King's kin, pushing them toward the remaining people, and as expected, these Warrior Tier monsters, just born, had weak combat instincts and no skills, and were quickly taken down by everyone.
What surprised Chu Xiu was that even though these guys were weak, they seemed to be regarded as "Elites" by the Abyss, yielding quite a few Cause and Effect Points and Equipment.
Although Chu Xiu didn't fancy these things, for Zhang Qingshan and others without any background, it was a substantial developmental resource.
After completing this last task, Chu Xiu no longer lingered, and eagerly initiated his exit to return to the Awakening Space.
The basic reward for clearing the world mission is a total of fifty thousand Cause and Effect Points plus a large number of special artifacts.
These rewards will be distributed proportionally according to Contribution Points.
And it's said that if the Contribution Points proportion is particularly high, there will be additional mysterious item rewards!
He was eagerly anticipating what kind of terrifying ratio his Contribution Points would reach, given that he single-handedly took down all the Fierce Tier creatures, annihilated three large groups, and single-handedly killed the Corpse King!
