The Witch Demon in front of him indeed had a rich background.
But this was quite normal. For a caster who has lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, not having some standout equipment would be laughable if they ventured outside. It is said that in the sewers of a certain city, there was a pathetic Shadow Witch Demon who, after being wiped out by adventurers, was mocked for decades because it was simply too poor.
After taking a glance at the list handed to him, Su Ziyu began to select the artifacts he was interested in.
Most of the artifacts provided by the Witch Demon were accessories, as he was neither a tailor nor a blacksmith, and as a caster, he had no hobby of collecting weapons or armor. The Witch Demon had no use for these items, as wearing armor would affect his casting, but Su Ziyu also had no interest in magic staff types, as he wasn't very adept at using them either.
"Artifact: Fire Giant Belt [Tier Three]."
"Effect: An artifact that can greatly enhance power, but cannot exceed the power limit of a Fire Giant."
Interesting.
Su Ziyu immediately noticed something a bit familiar; only this time, it was a belt, while last time, it was a bracer. It seems the power of a Fire Giant was quite significantly higher than that of a Frost Giant, making this a rather nice artifact.
"You won't be able to use this," the Witch Demon said, glancing Su Ziyu up and down. "Your power is already about the same as a Fire Giant's."
"This artifact is basically useless to you."
Su Ziyu was a bit surprised; he didn't expect the Witch Demon to be so honest.
Indeed, this artifact isn't very useful for the Demon Incarnation. In Flame Demon Form, Su Ziyu's power is not much different from that of a Fire Giant, and it can't surpass the Fire Giant's innate power limit.
"Artifact: Witch Demon Ring [Legendary]."
"Effect: An enchanted ring primarily made of mithril, significantly enhances the mana of a caster, boosts all types of immunity resistance, fear immunity, and regeneration enhancement."
Great item!
But it is meant for casters.
Wait.
I think I am also a caster. Can this ring enhance spiritual energy?
Su Ziyu activated his Space-Time Monitor System and rescanned it with his system.
"Artifact: Witch Demon Ring."
"Effect: An enchanted ring primarily made of mithril, significantly enhances a caster's ability, increases the spiritual ability limit by 20%, boosts all types of immunity resistance, fear immunity, regeneration enhancement."
Usable.
This artifact can actually increase the spiritual ability limit by 20%!
But why doesn't my system have a tier indication, while the system that Death God attached to the Demon Incarnation shows the item's tier and even designates the Witch Demon Ring as a legendary item?
This thought had just surfaced.
The next second.
A wave of data fluctuation came into Su Ziyu's mind.
"Connection complete!"
"Extracting data!"
"Scanning special incarnation!… Detected unknown Tower Spirit!…"
"Merging target!"
A strange alarm sounded.
In Su Ziyu's mind, a plethora of data streams suddenly emerged. He wasn't sure what problem he triggered, but Auxiliary Tower Spirit 76 kept flashing alerts:
"Alert!… Data lost!…"
"Alert!… Data lost!…"
What the hell.
Could it be that the auxiliary system prepared by Death God for me is about to be scrapped? How am I supposed to complete my tasks?
Thankfully.
About one or two minutes later, the Space-Time Monitor System provided feedback:
"Data extraction complete!… Copying!…"
"Scanned divine power!…"
"Some core data cannot be merged!…"
"Scan analysis complete!"
"Data calculation complete!"
"Transmitting…"
"Current plane: Negative Energy Plane."
"Civilization level: Level One."
"Energy level: Level Four."
"Pollution level: Low."
"Have listed current plane in purification sequence!… Recording plane coordinates!…"
This was the first level four energy plane that Su Ziyu had encountered.
With the Space-Time Monitor System extracting and copying data from Auxiliary Tower Spirit 76, his system seemed to undergo some changes, unexpectedly adding numerous extra annotations.
Su Ziyu quickly scanned and found a massive amount of data display.
"White Crow Swordsmanship LV3: Power +1, Agility +2, Evasion +6."
"Firearms Mastery LV2: Agility +1."
"Spiritual Energy LV4: Perception +2, Spirit +2, Willpower +2."
"Dragon Blood Baptism LV1: Constitution +1, Power +1."
"Spiritual Vision: Perception +1, Spirit +1." [Directly viewing indescribable things will result in pollution]
Followed by a long line of data.
Almost all the abilities possessed by Su Ziyu were accompanied by additional enhancement indices, some of which were incomprehensible even to him. They didn't seem to be capabilities inherently possessed by the Space-Time Monitor System but rather through the extraction and copying of abilities from Auxiliary Tower Spirit 76.
Moreover!
These numerical abilities were apparently not activated, forcibly extracted and copied by the Space-Time Monitor System.
When he looked back at the Witch Demon Ring, the displayed data was different again.
"Artifact: Witch Demon Ring."
"Tier: Legendary Level."
"Effect: An enchanted ring mainly made of mithril, significantly enhances a caster's ability, increases the spiritual ability limit by 20%, all immunity resistance +2, fear immunity, regeneration +2."
The properties of the Fire Giant Belt also changed, ending with a distinctly stated — Power +6, cannot exceed a power limit of 35 points.
"Is this considered a system evolution?" Su Ziyu felt slightly bewildered.
The auxiliary Tower Spirit attached to the Demon Incarnation seemed to operate on a different calculation method, but now it had been extracted by the Space-Time Monitor System.
"Do you want this?" The Witch Demon's hoarse voice suddenly arose.
He noticed Su Ziyu had been staring at the ring for a while, so he spoke up, "This is a legendary item. It can be used to trade for the soul of that Red Dragon."
"You can also choose one more legendary-grade item."
There was still work to do now.
Su Ziyu could only put aside the system changes for the time being and carefully resumed his selection.
The Witch Demon still had many offensive artifacts in his possession, but most of them utilized necromancy when activated. There was also a legendary artifact capable of summoning a powerful mummy, but Su Ziyu wasn't particularly interested. Frankly, the destructive power of the artifacts offered by the Witch Demon couldn't really compare to the Fatty's mini nuclear bombs, and the power of many spells wouldn't surpass that of modern weapons.
For instance, an item that could cast the 'Death Cloud Skill' appeared like some sort of toxic gas. To Su Ziyu, while lethal against weak enemies, it would be generally ineffective against stronger foes.
He tended more toward trading for artifacts meant for preserving life.
If it was purely for pursuing destructive capability, he'd rather seek opportunities to return to the Wasteland World to obtain a few Fatty mini-nuclear bombs.
Currently, his situation was that he had ample offensive means but was slightly lacking in means of preserving life.
