Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 681: Chapter 614: Making a Mistake Chapter 681: Chapter 614: Making a Mistake “This, do you not trust me?”

Tao Yu could not possibly agree so readily, pulling a face as he spoke.

He could sense on the blood-red human-skin paper an aura of pollution with a sense of order.

It should be used in a manner similar to how he originally obtained something similar, only the pollutive nature and binding force were stronger.

At this level, it was almost certain death for anyone below Catastrophe Level; even for those at the Catastrophe Level, it would likely cause deep wounds and shake their foundation.

“The price you ask for indeed requires such a guarantee.

One billion Yuan Force is easy enough to talk about; we can save up and recover it.

But the Skill you require is not something that can be easily obtained.”

As Huang Tianming spoke, he also took out a Yuan Force card and began to infuse it; the three of them had the advantage, so they could afford to be a bit more generous.@@novelbin@@

This action caused Tao Yu to fall into deep thought, holding back his initial desire to have them bring the magnetic card over to examine.

He changed the topic and said,

“I want to see the goods first.

If what you bring out doesn’t satisfy me, I’m not signing.”

Hearing Tao Yu’s response, Huang Tianming also revealed a slight smile and said,

They were the dominant party this time, with all three of them far surpassing the other party in terms of combat power.

They were not worried about carrying the goods with them.

The absorption of an Advanced Skill could not be completed instantly, so they directly took out three items that had been carefully selected.

The first was a pair of dice.

[Dice of Destiny]: Highly pollutive, can be used directly as an item.

Before an attack, throw the dice to induce varying degrees of changes based on the numbers rolled; if you can accept the purification of pollution and absorb it, you may directly acquire this Skill; can also act as a Divination tool; further potential uses should be researched.

A multifunctional item.

And it could be directly absorbed as a Skill!

Tao Yu’s eyes lit up slightly.

Skills were the most cost-effective category of items for him.

The second item was a bone, resembling something of the Underworld, and it looked like a femur.

[Bone of Ritual]: An artifact from some sort of ritual, highly pollutive.

Carrying it can grant [Crisis Sensing] and a degree of Anti-Divination effects; absorption may grant an unknown Skill; further potential uses should be researched.

This item was more practical for the average person than the dice, but for Tao Yu, the unknown Skill wasn’t necessarily better than the dice.

It should not be [Crisis Sensing], hence the unknown.

The third item was a crystal ball, hazy and dreamlike, resembling the colorful splendor of the starry sky.

[Starry Sky Crystal]: An Astrologer, after the world fell into the Abyss, observed the starry sky and was driven mad by some unknown whispers.

After death, their soul was bound to the crystal.

During moments of clarity, one can ask for Divination results, which might also bring various side effects; the side effects must be explored on one’s own.

Absorbable, with unknown Skill gain; potential for further uses.

“This [Starry Sky Crystal] has the heaviest pollution, originating from the Nephite Realm, but its practicality is strong; that Astrologer’s Divination Ability was extremely powerful,” Huang Tianming recommended.

Tao Yu, who was considering whether it might be possible to use for Grazing, dismissed Huang Tianming’s words as trivial.

“When you all were attacked by the Xing Family, did it successfully divine that event?”

With just one sentence, Huang Tianming became visibly embarrassed and coughed, choosing to remain silent.

Actually, they had indeed attempted Divination, but because they had trusted it too readily before, this time they were thoroughly deceived, hiding the crucial part and landing them in a terrible predicament.

In terms of intrinsic value, this was really high-level stuff, more valuable than the previous two items.

But the damn side effects also turned it into a hot potato; it might as well be traded away to dupe someone else.

But it seemed not so easy to fool.

“I’ll choose the [Bone of Ritual], it meets my needs.”

Tao Yu chose the item best suited for ordinary people, but he also wanted the other two!

“Your insight is indeed good.”

Huang Tianming sighed, acknowledging that in terms of practicality, the [Bone of Ritual] indeed ranked the highest.

The dice could roll a low number and cause side effects, and the fluctuations of such a risky gamble were too great; only the [Bone of Ritual] was the most stable.

But just as he was about to take back the items, Tao Yu raised his hand first and said,

“Well, let me take a good look first, I’ll sign the contract first, after all, our agreement was just that I choose one out of three, right?”

Tao Yu’s initial gesture of restraint made Huang Tianming tense up for a moment, but when he agreed to sign the contract first, Huang Tianming’s expression softened.

“You have the luxury of choice, and if you don’t fancy the Starry Sky Crystal, the Dice of Destiny is actually quite nice too.”

Once the contract is signed, you’re bound to your own people.

After seeing Tao Yu swiftly sign his name and the contract sealed with blood on the parchment beginning to burn, signaling the establishment of the pact, everyone on the scene relaxed considerably.

Although this thing wouldn’t straight-up kill a Catastrophe Level, it’s quite clear that the price of breaking the contract isn’t worth it.

There’s even a clause that prohibits attacking each other.

“So you’re saying you…”

Just as Huang Tianming was about to ask Tao Yu how his considerations were coming along, four strains of mutated assassination magic rushed out simultaneously toward the vanguard and the three Huang brothers!

An attack at the moment when everyone was most relaxed was perfectly timed.

At the same time, Tao Yu fully unleashed the “Filthy Words.”

“Weak and feeble.”

“Slow to react.”

“Shaky stance.”

“Wilt.”

“Wither.”

“Petrification.”

Six consecutive Word Spirits were instantly stacked under the effect of Innate Time Control’s acceleration.

The Witch’s power of petrification combined with the “Filthy Words” were enhanced in unison!

The Innate Demonic Body instantly intensified!

Due to the superposition of Innate Time Control, Tao Yu simultaneously threw out tendrils of the Tailed Beasts composite from the shadows, crushing toward the individuals!

“Chains of Heaven” wrapped around the perimeter in layers, the energy tentacles transformed into many different blades under the manipulation of the Giftsmith.

It could be said that the Acceleration from Innate Time Control allowed Tao Yu to momentarily combine many abilities and coordinate them flawlessly!

Just after the contract was signed, on one side were the allies specified within the contract not to be attacked, and on the other were the original allies of the Assassin’s League.

Both parties certainly didn’t expect to suddenly endure such a blow, even a Catastrophe Level was caught off guard!

But after all, they were all powerful and experienced fighters.

Even though they were instantaneously struck by the “Filthy Words,” suffering various negative statuses that made them feel sick enough to vomit blood.

Battered by opposing forces, it seemed as though the four were being besieged by Tao Yu alone.

Yet after all, each one of them was powerfully strong.

Especially Huang Tianming, who after becoming the Family Head of the Huang Family, secured many benefits through the family’s resources.

However, it was he who roared in a blind rage, the first to snap out of it,

“You deserve to die!”

But just as he was ready to strike back in retaliation, a massive surge of Abyss Pollution from the contract swept over him.

As the Family Head of the Huangs, the employer for this assignment, and the one who provided the items, naturally, it was he who had to sign the contract and bind it.

Only by doing so could it perfectly restrict the entire family to reap the benefits.

Originally, as the initiator, the main restriction was just that they could not attack each other, which was not usually an issue.

But his would-be counterattack had now triggered a violent backlash from the contract that made him reel with the urge to vomit blood.

His eyes turned black, and from all seven orifices, black blood spurted!

It was unjust; he was the one who attacked first!

While Tao Yu used his unique nature to exempt himself from the pollution, at the same time, he leveraged the distortion from his second Deification, “Authority: Price,” to amplify its effects on the opponent.

In an instant, he had incapacitated the strongest enemy present!

“Heh, originally, I wasn’t so sure, but you forced me to make mistakes…”

It was too tempting, I simply couldn’t resist…
