A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 1275: Old Ones Enhancement Class (Shin Megami Tensei V Cleared!)


When Duanmu Huai climbed up from the sea with a bunch of seaweed on him, his whole face was black.

"Damn it, next time I encounter such a thing, I'll just set the ocean on fire!!"

Taking out N'Zoth was effortless for Duanmu Huai, the main problem was that this disgusting thing was sealed in such a gross place.

In the depths of the ocean, no less!

This left Duanmu Huai feeling helpless; if it were an ordinary planet, he would have just used a Whirlwind Torpedo to ignite the planet, completely evaporating the ocean, and then slowly sifted through it.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do this with Azeroth; people lived there.

So, Duanmu Huai had no choice but to dive deep himself.

After a lot of effort, Duanmu Huai finally found N'Zoth's seal location, absorbed the remaining power of this Ancient God, and turned away amidst its unwilling wails.

"Phew... Although it wasted some time, the goal was finally accomplished."

Back on the warship, Duanmu Huai looked at the experience progress bar in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. After absorbing the power of three Ancient Gods, Duanmu Huai's [Old Day Dominator] reached level 16 of Intermediate Divine Power, just one step away from level 20 of Strong Divine Power.

Now among Duanmu Huai's four Divine Positions, [God of Destruction]'s experience is basically overflowed, and [Old Day Dominator] follows closely. Only [God of Joy] and [Sixth Heavenly Demon King] are relatively lacking.

Since Divine Position experience is absorbed based on essence, the God Power Experience of the God of Destruction cannot be used for other Divine Positions, which is quite a headache for Duanmu Huai.

And after absorbing these three Ancient Gods, Duanmu Huai also gained three special Ancient God functions: [Thousand Eyes], [Thousand Throats], and [Thousand Whiskers].

Accompanying the gradual deepening of [Old Day Dominator]'s power, Duanmu Huai also gained some understanding of this Divine Position. The most powerful aspect of [Old Day Dominator] isn't its attack power, but its interference with dimensional spaces.

Generally speaking, only higher dimensions can affect lower dimensions, and conversely, lower dimensional spaces cannot affect higher dimensions. It's like a 2D anime girl, no matter how much she likes you, can only express her affection through the screen, unable to truly marry a 3D human and be by your side... ahem, it hurts.

Yet, Old Day Dominator—or all Outer Gods, seem to be born with the ability to interfere with all dimensions, regardless of level.

This is also why, in the Star Ocean game, after the main quest "Ether Synchronous Engine" ends, breaking through the subspace spreads energy throughout the Milky Way, forcibly "ascending" all human races into subspace creatures, the reason the expansion BOSS would be an Outer God from outside the Milky Way.

Because they reside in reality space and can freely interfere with other dimensions!

Actually, many players have a big opinion on this subsequent version of Star Ocean; the reason is simple: in the first main quest against the Chaos Evil God, players, as humans, were in the material world, so they had to break the reality barrier to enter subspace to confront the Chaos Evil God directly.

Now, well, we've finally ascended to subspace, and you come up with something that can run rampant in real space, so now we have to find a way to break the barrier between subspace and reality again to fight in the real world against the Outer God and its offspring?

You're just switching hands, aren't you?

Of course, no matter what players say, the game company of Star Ocean never responded, with a "play or quit" attitude, which seriously angered everyone.

But they still have to play.

So frustrating!

Back to the main topic.

Duanmu Huai tried out the three skills, and how to put it... it feels like a loss due to lack of knowledge.

[Thousand Eyes] has two abilities, one is to observe an existence from different dimensions simultaneously, which is useful in strict terms, like with illusions, no matter how cleverly crafted, Duanmu Huai can see through them at a glance through dimensional suppression.

Of course, that's just a small part of it; its real ability is to observe the essence through phenomena, like the core of a certain magic, or the real elemental existence of some system.

For example, QB's previous Magic Girl system, if Duanmu Huai had [Thousand Eyes], he could see through the entire system without Ann's help... well, that's impossible.

The reason is simple, still no knowledge.

To put it this way, although [Thousand Eyes] is very similar to Mary's [Golden Pupil], there is a difference.

Mary's [Golden Pupil] directly gives the answer, skipping the process.

While Duanmu Huai's [Thousand Eyes] provides the process, then you have to calculate the answer yourself.

However, Duanmu Huai claims he's just a kid and totally can't comprehend what this is!

It's like a primary school student looking at calculus, even if you write down all the formulas and let him follow the steps to find the final answer, he's still completely baffled.

Can't understand, totally can't understand. Ignorant means ignorant, even if you point at my nose and teach hands-on, still don't understand.

So this ability might be quite useful for bigwigs like Ann or Sherry who have advanced in magical or scientific theories, but for a straightforward guy like Duanmu Huai, it's utterly wasted.

Compared to this rather troublesome ability, the other ability of [Thousand Eyes] is more favored by Duanmu Huai.
