Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 818 - 138: Setra’s Power Shatters All Techniques (Part 2)

If Settra cannot escape this Mysterious Forest Path and lets Lin Rui keep farming like this, not only will the attributes of the Celestial Divine Priest grow ever stronger, but the traits on Lin Rui will also increase.

Once he has extracted dozens or even hundreds of legendary traits to strengthen himself, it won't be Settra thinking about how to eliminate Lin Rui!

It should be Lin Rui eliminating him, which wouldn't be much more trouble than squashing a bug.

Even then, the strongest of the colonization star, the Ancient Saint Mage Gu Yan of the academy, might flee overnight to prevent the elves from teleporting Lin Rui directly near his Magic Tower to erase him!

Thinking along these lines, Lin Rui couldn't help but click his tongue and asked Violet, "Do you think Gu Yan and the others have a strong dispel skill? If they can't dispel the various buffs on me, can I rob... the academy?"

Lin Rui originally intended to say to rob the Elf Imperial Court.

But considering that this is a mythical artifact of the forest, who knows if the elves have any monitoring methods.

If they overheard, and as soon as he left this Mysterious Forest Path, they used the World Tree's sealing abilities to trap him, it would be disastrous.

After all, these legendary traits are temporarily extracted, providing a benefit buff but are not permanently affixed to himself.

This makes it probably very difficult to resist the purification or sealing of a mythical artifact.

Violet smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that, but at least it seems Settra doesn't have purification abilities, or perhaps has one or two rare purification abilities that he wouldn't dare to use immediately."

After all, Lin Rui has only extracted two traits now, and using a purification dispel now means Lin Rui could easily replenish them. Logically, he must be planning to wait until Lin Rui accumulates over ten traits or even dozens before using a powerful dispel artifact.

However, Lin Rui smiled lightly and said, "I bet there are no bullets in his gun! As an Undead Emperor, whether he's a warrior or a mage is uncertain. How could it be so coincidental that he just happens to have dispel abilities?"

Even for a Necromancer, there hasn't been any dark magic known to purify an opponent's state.

Of course, Lin Rui believes that with Settra's reckless and conceited nature, he might not even learn such support-oriented spiritual energy, right?

At most, he might have one or two artifacts, but he might not remember where they are or when it's appropriate to use them.

If Settra never shows up, Lin Rui can keep farming like this. Even if the Wild Growth effect appears, it doesn't matter; Lin Rui can apply it to Violet, helping her slowly balance the state.

The six Dense Growth effects can be easily distributed by Lin Rui. After all, even if Wild Growth lowers the Life Value Limit, it can slowly grow back through the Dense Growth effect.

Sure enough, shortly after Lin Rui spoke, a new trait appeared on him for the third time, and Settra's figure reappeared in the Mysterious Forest Path.

This time, Lin Rui acquired Violet's legendary trait.

[Holy Light Guardian: Legendary Trait: You are the embodiment of Holy Light, able to provide powerful support and protection for teammates. All allied units on the battlefield (note: absolutely all allied units) receive the Holy Light Shield blessing, Divine Resistance +10%, Physical and Spiritual Defense +30%. Every 30 seconds, the Commander's soldiers can receive a defensive shield, with a Shield Value equal to the number of Knights commanded by Violet on the battlefield * Violet's Tier Value.]

This means that with the addition of these two traits, Lin Rui, Violet, and even the Celestial Divine Priest's mirror image will all have an increased Divine Resistance of 20%!

For Settra, even annihilating the Celestial Divine Priest's mirror image is no longer an easy task!

Because as Lin Rui's Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value grow, the Celestial Divine Priest finally manifests a previously revealed named trait again.

[Water Nourishing Body: Legendary Trait: Water protects the body, nourishing all things, guarding me, eternally inexhaustible. Clears thoughts, as strong as King Kong. Protection above all, perpetually unyielding. Clarify the mind, hard as steel. The Celestial Divine Priest draws from immense water elements to enhance personal strength, Life Value * 300%, and every 30 seconds gains a 6-second Clear Heart Mirror trait, immune to all targeted skills, gaining a 10% rebound effect for each skill immune, rebounding all damage including true damage. Immunity effect persists until the end of the Clear Heart Mirror state.]

Life Value suddenly skyrockets threefold!

And you can have a six-second rebound effect, rebounding all damage including true damage, with the value related to the number of targeted skills immune.

It can be said that almost under the Clear Heart Mirror state, even Settra would find it very challenging to instantly take out this fortitude and life-boosted Divine General!

When Settra reappeared, he was with eyes bloodshot, glaring angrily at Lin Rui as he roared, "You damn bug, do you really think a mere mythical artifact can restrict me?"

Lin Rui and Violet simultaneously squinted their eyes; all the Wild Growth and Dense Growth effects on Settra vanished.

This meant that his resurrection would refresh all states.

Lin Rui's pre-war plan to repeatedly eliminate Settra by expanding attribute differences through Wild Growth was about to fail.

To defeat Settra, it would still be necessary to refresh each time with the Wild Growth state.

The good news is that Lin Rui's buff effects won't be canceled, and the further he progresses, the mightier his state becomes, making fights relaxed.

Indeed, defeating one of the strongest beings in this world means relying on significant external forces isn't very reliable; it's most dependable to be strong oneself.

Therefore, Lin Rui turned a deaf ear to Settra's roaring and calmly said, "If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second, a third time! I want to see whether your resurrection times are numerous or my Sub-Invincible State lasts longer!"

It is apparent that Settra's mythical staff has cooldown time limits; otherwise, he would just hold this staff to cast endlessly on everyone, making himself a god able to slaughter the entire world.

After resurrection, instead of activating that staff again, Settra roared as he opened a teleportation gate and used the core ability of the undead: summoning an undead army!

Countless monsters swarmed endlessly, as he furiously roared, "Aren't you able to calculate? Then calculate if this endless countless of our buffs would grant either of us negative effects!"

Evidently, this fellow is planning to break the clever force with sheer force!

If these summoned creatures can issue tens of thousands of buffs nonstop, entirely depriving Lin Rui of calculation chances, even gaining 90 Wild Growth wouldn't matter much. Settra could die countless times while Lin Rui and Violet need only once to end utterly!

It feels like a reckless life-or-death gamble!

Even as an Undead Emperor, resurrection times can't be infinite.

This gamble is simply life for life, betting that Lin Rui perishes before it does.

But if Lin Rui's exceptionally fortunate, every Wild Growth effect enhancing his Physical Defense, Settra would be forced to die with resentment!

Lin Rui clicked his tongue, "This lacks any combat artistry; it's terrifyingly reckless."

To be honest, Lin Rui did feel a bit apprehensive about such an extremely reckless strategy.

When one does not fear death, none would not hold it in awe.

After all, Lin Rui wouldn't dare pin all hopes on luck.

Though his Luck Level is incredibly high, such luck and strong fortune come not to be squandered gambling lives away!

A wealthy man does not sit in disreputable places.

Lin Rui is genuinely unwilling, nor dares to gamble, betting not to miss the Life Value enhancement every time.

With a 0.75 probability of surviving each time, surviving ten times leaves the chance at only 0.5%.

With twenty times, the chance dwindles to three in a hundred thousand, and after a hundred times, less than three in a billion.

But could a hundred times kill Settra?

His wife, the Goddess of Fortune, is powerful, yet for her to continuously affect the outcomes of mythical artifacts' selection 100 times remains implausible.
