Chapter 1137: Mythical Rank·Unique Lord Talent—Heart Thief!

Chapter 1137: Mythic-Class · Unique Lord's Talent – Theft of the Heart!

Zhou Zhou glanced at it twice, and as his gaze passed over the God Thief's Stealing Gauntlets, something inexplicably pulled him there—his eyes wouldn't move away.

Noticing his own anomaly, a flicker stirred within his mind.

Is this...

My Epic-Class Lord's Talent—Talent Intuition—alerting me?

His gaze tightened, locked firmly onto this Lord's Talent.

Could my Talent Intuition be signaling me to upgrade this Lord's Talent?

To upgrade the God Thief's Stealing Gauntlets?

Zhou Zhou furrowed his brow slightly.

This legendary-class Lord's Talent, enhanced by the power of his "War Trophy King" attribute, has already achieved a success rate in theft approaching 100%.

He felt that even if this Lord Talent were elevated to the Mythical-Unique tier, there would not be any significant, substantive improvement.

Therefore, He had never entertained the thought of upgrading this Lord Talent to the Mythical-Unique tier.

But now...

"Upgrade it."

"In any case, collecting a billion Bronze-tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments is no longer a difficult task for the current me."

Zhou Zhou hesitated no longer, bringing forth a billion Bronze-tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments and fusing them into a single Mythical-Unique Lord Talent Crystal Fragment.

Then, with a silent thought to use it, He upgraded the God Thief's Spell-Stealing Gloves to the Mythical-Unique tier.

The next second.

A hexagonal crystalline pendant, entirely of brilliant gold and radiating the aura of a Master God-tier divine artifact, slowly drifted into view before Him.

"Is this the talent creation of my Mythical-Unique Lord Talent?"

Zhou Zhou looked at the pendant, feeling the profound aura of the primary divine artifact emanating from it, his eyes gleaming with wonder.

The legendary lord's talent—The Thievery Gloves of the God Thief—was no more than a high-tier divine artifact.

A mythic-tier, singular creation, and yet it had already ascended to the rank of a top-tier primary divine artifact!

Excellent, excellent!

He toyed with the talent pendant in his hands for a moment, confirming that it had fully recognized him as its master, and a gentle smile crept onto his lips. Then he fastened it around his neck, tucked it into his clothing, and immediately fused it into his divine body.

And then he felt it—this primary divine artifact had seamlessly merged into his divine soul, becoming one with it, indistinguishable from his very essence.

Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, this primary divine artifact had fused with him thoroughly.

Compared to the several primary divine artifacts he had obtained through the King of Loot, the difficulty of master recognition was simply incomparable—like heaven and earth.

No wonder it was a creation of his own lord's talent.

Only then did He turn his gaze toward the Lord's innate ability information.

[Lord's Innate Ability: Heart Thief (Mythical Rank · Unique)]

[Heart Thief: Supreme Divine Artifact (Soul-Exclusive Binding: Zhou Zhou). After the user's soul recognizes and binds to the Heart Thief pendant, they can perceive the souls of other living beings through their minds, without physical contact, and gain knowledge of, and steal, any items that can be taken from them—causing the target to remain unaware for a short period of time.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 1: Whether an item can be stolen depends on the post-death loot rate corresponding to the living being, as well as the power disparity between the target and the user: the greater the target's strength, the lower the success rate of theft; the weaker the target, the higher the success rate.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 2: The Heart Thief can steal any non-life-threatening possessions of other beings—including property, external belongings, innate abilities, bloodlines, and all other such items.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 3: Except for the user, no other living being can obtain any information about this Supreme Divine Artifact in any way.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 4: The owner of the Heart Thief gains once per day a guaranteed 100% chance to steal one item from another living being, and the target will remain completely unaware.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 5: The owner of the Heart Thief can steal items infinitely, as long as their energy is sufficient. During normal theft attempts, they gain a fixed 10% success rate; however, upon failure, there is a 50% chance that the target will become alert.]

[Lord's Innate Ability Hint 6: The owner of the Heart Thief is automatically considered to inherit the legacy of the Heart Thief's Divine Master. When the Heart Thief's Divine Master falls in the fallen Heart Realm, and the owner approaches the Heart Realm, they will automatically receive prompts regarding the acquisition of the legacy.]

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

His gaze settled upon the first lordly talent prompt, and he couldn't help but marvel.

"Never needing to touch the other, just sensing them and mentally picturing it—enough to steal items from their body?"

"Wow."

"A thief's artifact!"

"And for me, this is actually much more convenient."

He nodded in satisfaction.

After all,

it had been a long time since he'd used this lordly talent to collect the excess lordly talent crystal fragments from the lords within his domain.

Perhaps now would be a good time to gather them all and reap a great harvest.

Lordly talent prompts 2, 3, and the rest remained unchanged.

The fourth lord's innate ability proved quite impressive.

It allows for 100% theft of items from another person, without drawing any attention whatsoever.

Perhaps it will prove invaluable at certain crucial moments.

The fifth lord's innate ability is also quite favorable.

It grants unlimited theft attempts, along with a fixed 10% success rate for each theft.

Even the most elusive items should not be beyond reach—given the 100% drop rate provided by the Master of Loot, combined with this guaranteed 10% success rate, it should be entirely feasible.

As for the final lord's innate ability, it lit up Zhou Zhou's eyes with astonishing clarity.

He hadn't expected that behind this primary artifact lay a hidden inheritance from a Master God.

Possessing this artifact automatically grants him the right to inherit this Master God's legacy.

Hmph.

That was a genuine, top-tier inheritance from a Master God!

There must be an astonishing fortune inside!

Perhaps even other master artifacts, who knows.

"The Heart Realm... it sounds like one of the myriad realms across the cosmos, likely the primordial origin world of the Master God of Heart Theft—the realm on the scale of a vast universe."

"With Bodhi Sovereign at my side, I can directly locate their position; and with the Eternal Mother Ship still at my disposal, I won't take long to reach the Heart Realm."

"After I finally leave the Supreme Continent, I'll go to the Heart Realm and claim the legacy of this master god."

Zhou Zhou quickly formed a plan in his mind.

For now, he has no intention of leaving the Supreme Continent.

At least, he'll wait until this current mission concludes before making the move.

Then he glanced at the remaining fragments of his Bronze-Level Lord's innate talent crystals.

There were still over 2.7 billion left.

All of them were sufficient to upgrade two mythic-tier, unique lord talents.

He once again began to review his numerous lord talents.

Yet upon finishing, his brow slightly furrowed.

For now, he realized that the vast majority of his lord talents were actually auxiliary—designed to support territorial development and personal strength growth;

talents that directly enhanced his own combat power or that of his troops were surprisingly scarce—only Lord Talent—King and Lord Talent—Crimson Enemy.

And critically, both of these talents had already been upgraded to the mythic-tier, unique level.

Thus,

among the lord talents he currently possessed, there was nothing left that could be further upgraded.

He pondered for a moment, then pulled out Bodhi, asking:

"Bodhi, could you help me find among my lord talent crystal fragments one that directly enhances combat power?"

"Just as you once sifted through the myriad fragments of noble lords' innate crystalline essences to identify 'The King,' didn't you?"
