Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 694 - 613: Infinite Distance

Kane looked at the brand new skill stone in his hand.

In the original silver era demigod state, he could only use the divine power of the Radiant Balance because it upgraded from his divine human state in the silver era.

Now reaching the golden level, he underwent a leap in upgrading.

The divine power of a single god turned into the ability to use multiple gods' divine power. As long as Kane could acquire items related to other gods, he could use this skill to link and utilize them by absorbing their aura.

However, not all items can absorb the aura, which must have extremely strict limitations and unknown conditions.

The aura of gods shouldn't be easy to obtain. Previously, Kane acquired a color-level material, which could only charge a golden magic stone.

The Divine Heart given by Aiklonen, although maybe only tri-color level, was still considered a divine object. Kane held it for a long time without absorbing its aura.

Furthermore, this material stayed in Kane's backpack for a long time until recently when Kane upgraded to a Golden Explorer and used it.

This suggests there could be restrictions on divine aura, but what these restrictions are remains unclear.

Now it's possible to use the power of two gods, and there's much connection between these two gods' powers and Kane.

It's not uncommon. If there was none, it would actually seem strange.

There's no need to mention the Radiant Balance, as the skill's bronze and silver levels both used its power. It's quite normal to absorb its aura when upgrading to the golden level.

Especially since Kane conducted detailed research on the divine power of the Radiant Balance afterward to maximize its effectiveness.

As for the God of All Machines, it goes without saying, Kane still holds a skill stone with a finger from the God of All Machines, often entering the sealed space to study the various technologies on this finger.

However, this skill has side effects; the divine power is too strong for mortals like Kane, potentially overwhelming his mind.

The description indicates it won't immediately overwhelm but will increase with Kane's use, limiting his use time of this skill.

Although a solution was proposed, Kane currently doesn't have another golden skill stone, so he doesn't have the opportunity to upgrade [Smart Learning] to a golden skill.

It seems the next golden magic stone has already been reserved.

In any case, Kane needs to slot this skill stone into the skill grid to first use and see the distinct nature of both divine powers.

Thinking of this, Kane immediately put the two newly acquired golden skill stones into the skill grid.

The knowledge impact from both skills made Kane's head swell slightly, but it was entirely within bearable limits.

Kane only squinted slightly, absorbed carefully for a while, and then adapted.

As knowledge was absorbed, Kane gained a more concrete understanding of the skills.

Particularly for the newly extracted skill [Endless Expansion], he finally understood its specific function instead of the vague description.

However, Kane is more interested in divine power, so he decided to use this skill first.

When Kane closed his eyes to use the divine power, he felt two energy sources available for use.

One energy source emitted a vast golden light, with gentle Holy Light continuously flowing outward.

The other energy source's energy was wrapped in a dense array of knowledge, written in various unknown characters. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Kane first linked to the Radiant Balance represented by the golden light.

Upon completing the link, Kane felt a surge of power frantically rushing into his body from the void.

This golden energy was so advanced that it instantly dyed all of Kane's magic power into Holy Light Power.

Kane's eyes burst with golden light, flashing with brilliant radiance, an aura of majesty emanating from his gaze.

A white hooded cloak appeared on him, adorned with intricate golden patterns.

With an open palm, the energy of Holy Light gathered frantically, and within moments, a high-energy sphere formed in his hand, composed of Holy Light.

This Holy Light was not gentle; rather, it carried a strong aggressiveness, akin to judgement.

Looking around, Kane dispersed the Holy Light sphere in his hand and then exited the link with the Radiant Balance.

He had mastered not only the power of Holy Light but also learned many divine spells used by the followers under the Radiant Balance.

Whenever Kane used divine power to link with the Radiant Balance, it was as if he became a very powerful acolyte of the Radiant Balance.

Using divine power to link with the Divine Power Source, Kane's form and essence changed substantially.

Afterward, Kane closed his eyes again, linking to the energy knowledge source emitting energy outward continuously.

Upon successful linkage, a strong force surged into Kane's body from the void, but this time it wasn't as gentle; instead, it rushed in like a tsunami.

The energy not only transformed Kane's magic power but also changed it into a power with blue, orderly patterns.

This magic power facilitated the mechanization of Kane's body, though he could feel it was temporary, not permanent.

His beating heart transformed into an energy core, with blue energy flowing outward from the core.

All organs were transformed into mechanical-like structures, bones became precise machines, and nerves and blood vessels all shifted toward mechanization.

Kane's face displayed orderly diagonal lines crossing down to the chin, and his eyes transformed into a mechanical structure, allowing for long-distance adjustments and targeting, capable of recalling information from the mind.

Lines on his face appeared all over his body and arms, and joints moved smoothly, allowing him to perform many actions that defied the human body.

Even if his arms and legs were bent backward, they wouldn't break.

Kane raised an arm, and with his intent, the arm began to transform, the palm spread its five fingers towards the body and merged, sharp tips protruding.

A slender drill appeared at Kane's wrist, rotating with his thoughts, just like Kane's arm.

Then it transformed from the drill into a long gun barrel, capable of shooting energy from within.

Although the ends of the limbs can transform, most of the body doesn't have this function.

Kane's main sensation now is feeling his body can rapidly undergo subtle changes like a machine through Source Skills.

But these changes can't last forever, they might return to the original state once the power fades.

The power of the God of All Machines is too peculiar, giving Kane an experience he never felt before.

He couldn't help but begin to learn and experience more seriously, exploring the completely different sensations of his body transforming into a machine, like discovering a new continent.

However, Kane was startled awake and immediately retreated from the Divine Power state.

As the Divine Power receded, the body returned to its original magic power state, and Kane's mechanical-like body quickly transitioned back to flesh and blood.

The entire mechanical body was altered by this Divine Power, and its fading would cause this change to fade as well.

Almost getting lost in these other changes, knowing that the longer in the Divine Power state, the deeper the contamination.

However, Kane almost fully understood the God of All Realms' Divine Power state, though there are many functions not yet experimented with, the skill's side-effects don't support use in non-critical combat.

The biggest gain from entering the God of All Machines' Divine Power state was that moment, Kane gained many new insights into his previous devices.

The mechanical body and calculation method gave him a different perspective and strange understanding of his creations.

Especially based on the energy rules now comprehended, more exaggerated changes can be made.

But now is not the time for research.

A new skill drawn has yet to be experimented with, this skill has no side effects, can be used as desired.

Once again, a magic power formed energy group appeared in Kane's hand, after thinking for a while, he applied a thunder element magic into the magic power group.

Threw the magic power group towards the ground.

The flashing thunder magic power group immediately broke open upon ground contact, then expanded outward in a circle.

Wherever it passed, a thunder element attribute damage occurred, as long as Kane spends enough magic power, it would keep expanding outward infinitely, attributing damage to all objects crossed.

This thing is a kind of almighty energy form skill.

For instance, when Kane enters the Divine Power state and integrates holy light magic, then projects it outward.

That would become an all-encompassing large area skill inflicting Holy Light Power damage to everyone it crosses.

The only unpleasant thing is, this doesn't discriminate between enemies and allies, even teammates have to endure the damage once.

Calling it powerful is certainly correct, especially if there's peculiar elemental damage involved.

But calling it useless wouldn't be a big issue, considering limited use in certain scenarios, especially since it indiscriminately deals damage.

If Kane had Healing System skills, he could expand Healing System skills outward, treating everyone, yet this thing doesn't discriminate, healing enemies too.

Unless the energy meant for healing allies instead harms enemies, then it's a different matter.

Looking at the reappearing energy group in hand, Kane couldn't immediately think of this skill's application method.

After considering, he took it out, placed it into the enhancement grid to see if it could consciously enhance Source Skills.

When Kane placed the Skill Stone into the enhancement grid.

Whoa!

Seeing the enhancement effect on Source Skills, Kane couldn't help blurting out a curse.

[Enhancement Grid-Gold 2: Endless Expansion] (Expands Source Skills' range to infinite, increasing magic power spent per distance for over 100 meters.)

Previously calling this skill useless was my mistake, it's me having unseeing eyes, I hereby solemnly apologize.

He silently performed an apology ritual for this skill in his heart.

These seemingly useless skills always bring Kane unexpectedly exaggerated results within the enhancement grid.

A hundred-meter range was already absurd, now it directly became infinite.

Equivalent to Kane now permanently residing in the Platinum Country's Creator God state, of course, this is merely an exaggerated thought.

After all, limitations exist afterwards, spending increasingly more magic power for distances over a hundred meters.

Reaching a certain distance would indeed emerge magic power consumption unbearable for Kane, thereby indirectly limiting Kane's skill range.

Now, the mountain blocking Kane's strength has transformed into magic power consumption and total magic power.

Previously said magic power total was finally enough, now it's returned to the beginning stage of the Silver level.

Looks like upgrading Blue Dragon Bloodline to Gold has to be brought up again.

[Magic Power Reserve] upgrade prioritization similarly needs to be moved up a step.

Future Golden Magic Stones possibly mostly have to be used first for skill upgrades.
