Chapter 10

At this moment, these hands were still stained with blood, dirt, and dust, visibly disheveled.

But it was these very hands that had fought for an entire day and night.

"Endless" —— the benefits this skill brought to him seemed to be much greater than Lige had imagined.

That was only natural.

"Only by leveling up is there a certain chance to obtain developmental abilities, which means that anyone with developmental abilities must be at least level 2." Loki glanced at Lige out of the corner of her eye, seemingly nonchalantly saying, "Yet, because of your skill, you have obtained three developmental abilities all at once, and they are all at the highest level. How could the help this brings you be small?"

Whether it was "Healing Power," "Refinement," or "Abnormality Resistance," since they were developmental abilities similar to basic abilities, even without a proficiency level to indicate progress, there were still stages of ability.

The lowest stage was I, and the highest was S, with developmental abilities, like basic abilities, having ten stages in total.

The effect of "Endless" was to grant Lige three developmental abilities, all at the highest level.

What did this mean?

It meant that the three developmental abilities Lige obtained due to the skill's effect were all at the S stage.

This was no small feat.

"I can't speak for other clans, but in our clan, not a single member has developed their developmental abilities to the D stage; the highest is only the E stage."

Loki revealed this secret.

"You, however, have three developmental abilities equivalent to the S stage right from the start, and even if you learn more developmental abilities in the future, your skill's effect can also enhance their levels."

This showed just how powerful Lige's "Endless" skill was.

After all, Loki's clan was not just any ordinary clan, but one of the strongest in Orario.

Orario, with the Labyrinth as its secret realm, has countless monsters to be hunted and countless enemies to be challenged. Being able to rise to the top here is equivalent to being the strongest in the world.

That's why Orario is called the center of the world.

In such a clan, there were many powerful individuals, even several who were at the top and renowned throughout the world.

Compared to the ancient heroes who drove the monsters back into the Labyrinth and reclaimed the land for humanity, they were not much different.

If even such a group of powerful individuals could not develop their developmental abilities beyond the E stage, how could this not demonstrate how astonishing Lige's skill effect was?

If it were just the newly acquired "Healing Power" and "Refinement," they would not have such a remarkable effect, allowing him to fight tirelessly for a day and night without feeling tired.

But with "Healing Power" and "Refinement" at the highest level, it was a different story.

"Now, you are only experiencing the effects of 'Healing Power' and 'Refinement.' When you go deeper and encounter monsters that can inflict abnormal statuses, you will realize that your 'Abnormality Resistance' is equally insane."

Loki's mood finally improved a bit.

"Having the highest-level 'Abnormality Resistance,' I estimate that unless it's a poison that can kill even a god, there is probably no abnormal status in this world that can affect you."

Speaking of this, Loki couldn't help but think of Lige's other skill —— "Self-Redemption."

Leaving aside the ability to autonomously update ability values, which could make even a god curse, the other two effects were also considered insane.

Immunity to physical interference meant that no one could tamper with Lige's body, whether by using mysterious powers to control him, tricking his senses, or even if the Lord of the Clan wanted to do something unfavorable to his favor, it would be impossible.

Immunity to mental interference meant that any means targeting memory and soul were rendered ineffective, including enchantment and bewitchment.

These two effects, combined with the highest-level 'Abnormality Resistance,' were simply unsolvable.

At least, Loki felt that to defeat Lige, who possessed these two skills, one would have to rely on sheer strength to win in a direct confrontation; there would be very few other methods that would work.

Moreover, this skill had a third effect, allowing beneficial enhancements that could not normally affect the body or mind to work on Lige.

This was outrageous.

However, even with such skills, in Loki's view, compared to Lige's first skill, their effects and importance might have to take a back seat.

Thinking about the effect of that skill and Lige's battle for a day and night, Loki's narrowed eyes suddenly opened a bit.

She first fell silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to Lige.

"Take off your shirt."

Loki suddenly said this.

"What?"

Lige, who was still thinking about his own matters, was taken aback.

Seeing his reaction, Loki smiled.

"I'm very curious about how much you've grown after this day and night."

Loki said, word by word.

"Let's update your ability values."

Upon hearing this, Lige's usually calm eyes also sparkled with unusual light.

Updating ability values.

This was what all those who received divine favor most looked forward to.

After experiencing numerous adventures, performing various actions, and accumulating experience, updating ability values would turn this experience into tangible nourishment, allowing one to grow and become stronger.

In this process, not only would basic abilities be enhanced, but those who had experienced profound events might awaken magic and skills, or even gain new magic and skills, significantly boosting their strength.

Especially for those who had never had magic or skills, the most anticipated part of updating ability values was the appearance of magic and skills after the update.

Compared to those people, Lige was undoubtedly more fortunate.

He had received divine favor, and magic had appeared, and he had gained three skills at once, which was unparalleled.

For ordinary people, unless they were exceptionally talented geniuses, it was normal to have no magic or skills when they first received divine favor.

They eagerly awaited the appearance of magic and skills, longing for extraordinary mysteries and extraordinary powers.

This could be said to be a process that almost all those who received divine favor had to go through.

Lige was not quite like that, but at this moment, his anticipation was no less than theirs.

Because, excluding magic and skills, his basic abilities had never experienced growth or enhancement, and in terms of physical ability and combat power, he was still at the level of an ordinary person.

In other words, Lige had never experienced extraordinary power.

Given this, he was also full of anticipation for his first ability value update.

In such a situation, Loki, facing Lige, who had taken off his shirt and was sitting in front of her, began the ability value update.

The specific steps were similar to when she first granted Lige divine favor, involving taking out a needle, pricking her finger, and using divine blood to touch Lige's back, moving her fingers skillfully to draw a crimson pattern on his back.

Loki first unlocked Lige's ability values, causing the previously blank back to quickly reveal a crimson inscription resembling a stele.

Next, she squeezed out a drop of divine blood, dropping it on Lige's back, creating a circular ripple that spread across the entire inscription.

From this step onward, the actual update of ability values began.

The accumulated experience was extracted by the "god's" hand, used as material to change the foundation of growth.

New sacred characters replaced the old ones, engraved on Lige's back.

As this process continued, at a certain moment, Loki's eyes widened again.

After a long while, Loki wore an expression that was hard to tell whether she should cry or laugh.

"Damn!"

The noble goddess suddenly swore, startling Lige.

"What's wrong?"

Lige turned his head, looking at Loki with a puzzled expression.

"Look for yourself."

Loki, with a look of shattered values, numbly transcribed Lige's ability values onto parchment, translated them into the common language, and threw them to Lige.

Lige took the parchment and saw his latest abilities.

Lige Brihaut

1

Strength: I0 → H184

Endurance: I0 → H177

Dexterity: I0 → G202

Agility: I0 → G215

Magic Power: I0

Magic and skills were not transcribed or translated, probably because they had not changed.

However, Lige's basic abilities had changed significantly.

"Strength" and "Endurance" both broke through the I stage, entering the H stage.

"Dexterity" and "Agility" even skipped the H stage, directly entering the G stage.

"Magic Power" remained unchanged, probably because Lige had not used any magic.

The result of this day and night of battle was that Lige's overall proficiency in basic abilities had increased by more than 700 points, nearly 800.

"Damn growth speed!"

Loki exclaimed.

"I knew that 'Fool's Obsession' was the most insane skill!"

Loki was driven mad.

There was no way around it.

As the Lord of a major clan, Loki had updated the ability values of many members and even handled several individuals considered geniuses.

Moreover, Loki was well-informed, so she was very clear about the growth speed of a new recipient of divine favor.

In just one day and night, even the geniuses within Loki's clan could only increase their proficiency by a few dozen points at most when they first started.

A comprehensive increase of more than 700, nearly 800 points in proficiency?

Loki stared at the skill on Lige's back with her divine eyes, wide open.

"Fool's Obsession"

· Super-domain enhancement of growth speed.

· Super-domain enhancement of growth limit.

· The deeper the obsession, the stronger the effect.

· The effect is significantly enhanced when facing perilous situations.

There was no doubt that Lige's extraordinary growth was due to this skill.

A skill that Loki had never seen before, not used to enhance strength or assist, but to aid growth, was unique and unparalleled.

"With this, the sky of Orario will change."
