Chapter 1136: Mythical Rank·Unique Lord Talent—Crimson Nemesis!

Chapter 1136: Mythic-Tier · Unique Lord Talent—The Scarlet Nemesis!

According to the ancestral memories etched within its mind, the Sovereign of Mechanics was not merely the prime deity of technological law, but also a master over the twin domains of time and space.

Endowed with three master-god level laws, coupled with the terrifying capability to forge mechanical deities of divine rank, the Sovereign of Mechanics had forged an awe-inspiring reputation that secured its position among the ten master gods.

That the Eternal Mothership, built with the absolute pinnacle of its life's devotion, possessed such shattering might was hardly a surprise.

"This sliver of consciousness from the Sovereign of Mechanics—how do you fare with it?"

Zhou Zhou pondered for a moment, then directed his question toward Wen Ya.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty."

Wen Ya immediately grasped the underlying concern in Zhou Zhou’s words and nodded. "The Eternal Mothership has already been refashioned by the Supreme Will, transformed into Your Majesty's own Lord Talent creation. Even if the highest-authority intelligence of this spacecraft remains that sliver of consciousness from the Sovereign of Mechanics, it will never pose any danger to Your Majesty, nor will it ever betray your secrets."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou finally let go of the last remnants of his anxiety.

Later, Zhou Zhou and Wen Ya discussed the Eternal Mother Ship for a while longer, then personally toured the vessel several times before finally exiting with satisfied hearts.

Then He bestowed upon Wen Ya ten million true god-tier divine crystals and ten thousand master god-tier divine crystals, to serve as backup power for the Eternal Mother Ship, ready to be deployed should war ever come.

Only then did He inform Wen Ya of the plan: starting tonight, Bai Yun would lead the forces to confront the crimson invasion.

"Your Majesty, rest assured,"

"I will surely complete the mission!"

Bai Yun spoke solemnly.

Though the crimson army led by Os came with overwhelming force,

the master god-level Eternal Mother Ship on this side was no mere match.

If necessary,

they could simply activate the master god-tier weapons—

and let them feel firsthand the devastating power of the meticulously crafted master god weapons by the Mechanical Master God!

The Everlasting Fleet—a supercosmic warship forged solely for battle!

It fears nothing more than war!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.

Before the Everlasting Fleet, his confidence in winning this war stood at only forty percent.

Now, with the Everlasting Fleet at his command, that confidence had surged to seventy percent!

Then Wen Ya returned to the Everlasting Fleet, piloted it into the air, and vanished from sight—departing the divine palace to meet Bai Yun.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou glanced at the remaining shards of his vassal talents.

Aside from the other shards, he still possessed over 3.7 billion bronze-tier vassal talent shards.

He could still ascend several mythic-tier unique vassal talents.

He turned his gaze to his other vassal talents, searching for what might be suitable to upgrade at this very moment.

Quickly.

His gaze settled upon a lord's innate ability.

[Epic Lord's Innate Ability – Dark Walker!]

He studied it with quiet contemplation.

It was precisely this innate ability that allowed his subjects to remain uncorrupted by the crimson mist of night, preventing them from descending into mist-beings during nocturnal battles—and even, in reverse, to restore beings who had recently turned into mist-beings back to their original, human forms.

Now, every citizen under his rule was a Dark Walker. And through the research of medicinal specialists—such as land-based apothecaries, healers, and alchemists—various generations of remedies had been developed: second-generation, third-generation, and beyond.

The Dark Walker profession had now flourished completely in Zhou Zhou’s hands.

Originally, Zhou Zhou had never intended to upgrade this profession.

After all, through his own relentless research, he had already refined the lord's innate ability to a far superior state.

But now, since his soldiers would be engaged in constant, day-and-night battles against mist-beings, he decided—perhaps for the first time—to elevate this innate ability.

Anyway, he had quite a lot of Lord Talent Crystal Fragments in his hands.

Of course.

The most crucial reason was that among the many lord talents Zhou Zhou possessed, there were truly few that could handle the current situation—he could only pick the best of a bad lot and choose to upgrade the Dark Walker lord talent.

Then, without further hesitation, he directly took out 1.1 billion Bronze-level Lord Talent Crystal Fragments and elevated the Dark Walker from the Epic tier straight to the Mythic·Unique tier.

After that, he looked at the brand-new lord talent information prompt that appeared before him.

[Lord Talent: Scarlet Nemesis (Mythic·Unique Tier)]

[Specific Talent Effect 1: When you and your subjects fight against Scarlet Mist monsters, you will ignore the negative effects of the Scarlet Mist environment on you and your subjects, and gain an additional 300% boost in strength.]

[Specific Talent Effect 2: You and your subjects can disguise yourselves as forces under the Scarlet Lord, infiltrate the enemy's ranks, and do as you wish.]

[Specific Talent Effect 3: You and your subjects are blessed by the 'Supreme Power.' When fighting Scarlet Mist monsters, the 'Supreme Power' can eliminate the additional strength boost that mist monsters gain from the Scarlet Mist environment;

and when you and your subjects attack, you will deal additional 'Supreme Power' damage to enemies. Mist monsters damaged by 'Supreme Power' will find their wounds extremely difficult to heal, and their defensive capabilities will be greatly reduced during attacks, making it easier for you and your subjects to kill Scarlet Mist monsters.]

[Specific Talent Effect 4: After eliminating all Crimson Mists creatures, any mist creatures previously under the dominion of the Supreme Will will regenerate their bodies and souls, reborn as beings under the Supreme Will's authority.]

[Specific Talent Effect 5: After eliminating all Crimson Mists creatures, you and your vassals will inherit all the spoils of the defeated mist creatures.]

[Specific Talent Effect 6: The Crimson Sovereign has noticed you and regards you as its absolute enemy; in the future, you may frequently face attacks from forces under the Crimson Sovereign's command, who will relentlessly and without restraint seek to destroy you within the rules.]

[Specific Talent Effect 7: The Supreme Will has noticed you and considers you its absolute ally; whenever you face attacks from forces under the Crimson Sovereign, the Supreme Will will dispatch its Supreme Army to rescue you and fully protect this ally of theirs.]

...

After reading it through, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up instantly.

"Crimson enemy?! "

"This lord's talent effect is completely tailored for the Crimson Mists creatures—purely designed for them!"

"Only Effect 5 seems useless. I'm already the King of Spoils. What do I need this for?"

He murmured to himself.

A fire stirred within his heart.

He had never imagined that a choice forced upon him would bring such a stunning surprise.

Yet when he saw the final two effects of the Lord's talent, his eyes widened in shock.

Good heavens.

Had he, by sheer accident, become the absolute antithesis of the Crimson Lord?!

Did this Lord's talent—somehow—come with negative buffs?!!

But when he read the final effect of the Lord's talent, a faint sense of relief crept into his mind.

"Well."

"At this stage, whether or not I possess this Lord's talent, I'm likely still a thorn in the Crimson Lord's side."

"Heard enough. Let it go."

Zhou Zhou stopped thinking further and prepared to continue exploring what other lord talents he could upgrade next.
