The Era of Gods

Chapter 345: The Powerful Hero Class—Divine Warrior

“`

The cost was significant, but the results were naturally pleasing.

Five-Star Skill Card—Godification/Descent of the Gods: Borrow the power of a god, obtain an extraordinarily strong physique and strength, and significantly reduce physical damage, immune to most magical damage and effects.

Four skills, three regular skills plus one ultimate, just reading the skill descriptions gives the impression of great power, moreover, there is an impressive talent.

Talent: Blood Bath.

This is a passive ability that allows a warrior to grow stronger as the battle continues, with increasing combat power as they sustain injuries.

Lin Xiao merged a large number of similar skills, including Berserk, and then spent twenty units of Creation Energy to reduce the side effects of Berserk, crafting a powerful new skill.

Five-Star Skill Card—Blood of War God (Ancient): Every time damage is taken, the Blood of War God is activated, substantially increasing various resistances and speed, with the increases being greater the more severe the injury.

Note: Before death, any injury aside from dismemberment cannot affect combat power.

For other Sons of the Divine Realm, such formidable skills are rare to come by, but Lin Xiao could acquire them simply by spending a certain amount of Creation Energy, with the four skills and one talent costing him a total of eighty units of Creation Energy.

Then, by loading these four skills and talent into the hero class template, an unimaginably powerful hero profession template appeared before him, which he directly named—Divine Warrior.

Profession: Divine Warrior.

Level: Heroic Profession.

Transfer condition: Sixth Level Transcendent or above.

Profession bonus: Constitution 10+100%, Strength 10+100%, Agility 10+100%.

Career Talent: Blood of War.

Career Skills: Phase Shift, Chaos Roar, Chaos Strike, Descent of the Gods.

Attention: Due to the special nature of the heroic professions, it may override some skills or specializations the transferee originally possesses. Please be cautious before transferring.

Evaluation: An unimaginably powerful hero profession, capable of reversing the tide of massive wars with its heavenly power.

The profession template is simple, but the content it encompasses is not.

Firstly, the lowest transfer requirement for this hero profession is a Clan member above Rank 6 Transcendent, which is not a low threshold.

Although it’s not specified which Clans are capable of transferring, in theory, Mages could too, but in reality, it’s quite improbable. All the skills of this hero profession are tailor-made for combat-type Clans, and there’s a note indicating the profession might override some existing skills and specialties, making Mages practically useless if they take up this profession.

Therefore, within the Divine Realm, only the Supreme Naga warriors and the Transcendent powerhouses of the Red Furnace Clan could transfer to this profession.

What a pity that the transfer conditions are a bit high. It would be nice if it allowed Fifth Level transfers. The requirement of at least Rank 6 Transcendent narrows the application scope by an unknown multiple.

However, this isn’t an issue. If it can’t be used, it just can’t be used, and something else can be used in its place. It just so happens that the all-rounder warrior profession he created earlier can no longer keep up with the Clan members, and now he has a bunch of skill cards on hand, which is perfect for re-adjusting at this opportunity.

Since it’s for use by Clans below Level 6, principally intended for the Lesser Naga, the new all-rounder warrior profession doesn’t need to be too heavily enhanced; only key skills need to be formidable.

Taking the Divine Warrior hero profession as a reference, he selected only four skills and one talent from the skill library to keep at the ready.

He found out that strong professions don’t really need so many fancy skills. After all, it’s a warrior, not a mage; strong and practical will do.

After spending just twenty units of Creation Energy, he combined two active skills, one passive skill, one ultimate, and one passive talent.

Skill One: Super Charge: Charge at super fast speeds towards any target or direction within a 100+X meter range, deal triple critical damage and knock down the target, paralyzing it for two seconds, with a three-minute cooldown.

Skill Two: Heart Flame: Unleash a burst of strength, repelling nearby enemies based on their power level to a distance of 5+X meters, and paralyze them, rendering them unable to move for 2+X seconds, with a five-minute cooldown.

Skill Three: Multifunctional Weapon Mastery: A professional warrior can skillfully use any weapon, efficiently wielding any weapon picked up on the battlefield.

Skill Four Ultimate: Warlord: For each enemy killed on the battlefield, a part of their life force is absorbed to heal oneself and recover one’s state. If there is excess life force after replenishing oneself, it will be stored. Once enough life force is accumulated, Warlord state can be activated, which significantly increases one’s physique, strength, speed, physical defense, and various resistances. The more life force exploded, the higher the bonuses.

Talent: Blood Fight: On the battlefield, every time a warrior takes damage, their fighting spirit is ignited, slightly increasing speed and various resistances, with the increase scaling with the severity of the injury.

Profession: Warrior of Divine Power.

Level: Rank 6.

Transfer condition: Level 2 or above.

Profession bonus: Constitution 3+30%, Strength 3+30%, Agility 3+30%.

Career Talent: Blood Fight.

Career Skills: Super Charge, Heart Flame, Multifunctional Weapon Mastery, Warlord.

Evaluation: A powerful advanced profession for warriors, their supreme adaptability on the battlefield can make them kings of the battleground.

This profession is extremely suitable for the Lesser Naga; it can also be used by the Red Furnace Clan and newly grown Supreme Naga. Moreover, this is just a normal skill and won’t conflict with the hero profession of Divine Warrior. Once the Supreme Naga is promoted to Rank 6, they can directly transfer to the hero profession and override this one with it.

With this, the somewhat hollow combat power of the Lesser Naga can now be effectively reinforced, and the Salted Fish Charge that was lost due to multiple genetic adjustments has made its return.

After dealing with the Profession Card, the next step is to use the two hero promotion privileges in hand.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and decided to use one for Slarda, promoting him to an unprecedented Mythical Hero, while the other would go to the leader of the Red Furnace Clan.

Right now, every clan in his Divine Realm has a heroic leader except for the Earth Dwarves, now known as the Red Furnace Clan—this is not good.

However, the Red Furnace Clan is still in the midst of their transformation from the Earth Dwarves and cannot use it for the time being.

With just a thought, Lin Xiao communicated with Slarda but did not issue a Divine-mandate to make it known to all, instead secretly bestowing the privilege. He wanted to see what changes would occur when Slarda was promoted to a Mythical Hero.

Mythical Heroes are essentially the apex of heroes, the highest quality of hero one can be, and are extremely rare. Apart from the Gaia Will’s bestowal, there are hardly any heroes who promote themselves to Mythical Quality on their own. Even a Holy Dragon comparable to a True God has only a slim chance of becoming a Mythical Hero, and it’s not a certainty.

Along with the privilege, Lin Xiao also granted a full ten units of Divinity and a substantial amount of Divine Power.

Upon activation of the privilege, Slarda was enveloped in a golden light shield, impermeable even to the Divine Realm Master.

“Well, okay then!”

This was indeed quite unexpected.

Seeing that the transformation could take a while, Lin Xiao did not continue to wait and shifted his gaze to other parts of the Divine Realm.

The bottom layer of the Netherworld—when he turned his attention there, he hesitated for a moment, then felt a twinge of pain in his cheek.

Hundreds of thousands of Nightmare Creatures had been thrown there before, followed by monsters from the Evil Spirit World, compounding the filth that was already present.

To survive, the Nightmare Creatures had to consume other members of their kind. Carnage ensued among the Nightmare Creatures and Evil Spirits, as they devoured and contaminated each other, and what Lin Xiao saw when he looked into the Netherworld was a world filled with bizarre auras.

A mix of Nightmare Creatures and Evil Spirits had formed, giving rise to strange rules akin to those in the Evil Spirit World.

Especially a few of the most powerful Legendary Nightmare Beasts confined there—they had slaughtered and devoured countless of their own and Evil Spirits, and were beginning to transform into indescribable and unseeable bizarre creatures of the Evil Spirit World.

“The risk seems a bit high.”

Lin Xiao considered for a moment and felt that keeping these creatures in his Divine Realm was too risky and prone to getting out of control.

“I’ll wait until Slarda awakens and lead troops to exterminate them!”

Then he turned his gaze to the Heaven Divine Realm, immediately attracted by the sight of several dozen tall Titan Giants made entirely of pure gold.

The Eternal Cloud Palace allows for the summoning of one Titan Giant with Rank 7 strength each month, and every ten years one can consume a thousand units of Divine Power to replace summoning resources for calling forth a Rank 8 Thunder God Lord.

Unfortunately, these beings cannot be summoned automatically, and summoning slots cannot be accrued. Lin Xiao has spent most of his time away from the Divine Realm, resulting in very few summons; not a single Rank 8 legendary Thunder God Lord has been summoned so far.

Of course, with only one Rank 8 Thunder God Lord every ten years, even if he waited daily, he wouldn’t have summoned many by now.

Lin Xiao thought that once he became a Demigod, he must cultivate a safe and reliable subordinate god to handle these matters for him.

It couldn’t be Slarda.

In Lin Xiao’s vision, Slarda would serve as Pope for a long time, leaving no spare time to deal with these matters.

He had two ideas: one was promotion from within the Divine Realm, like Little DingDang, the Little Spirit who has become Queen of Water Elements. Once he ignited the Divine Fire and became a Demigod, he could bestow Divinity upon her and promote her to a subordinate Demigod.

The second idea was to merge with his girlfriend’s Divine Realm; he would conquer external battles while Shen Yuexin managed internal affairs.

However, this possibility was not very high. She might be willing, but her father and brother would definitely not be pleased. The direct daughter of the first great divine power of humanity couldn’t possibly merge her Divine Realm with his, especially under his lead. They would never agree to this.

Even if they ended up together, according to her brother’s thinking, it would be her who took the lead.

Unless in the future he could promote himself to Powerful Divine Power, perhaps that would change their minds.

So, for now, their Divine Realms could not merge.

Thus, the only choice he had was to promote from within and to cultivate his own assistants.

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Xiao turned his attention to the Eternal Cloud Palace, indeed spotting a Thunder God Lord ready for summoning.

Using one thousand units of Divine Power in place of other summoning costs, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, impacting the platform with a dazzling light. When the light dissipated, it revealed a giant surrounded by rings of lightning.

Rank 8 Legendary Constructed Creature: Thunder God Lord.

Yes, whether it’s the Titan Giant or the Thunder God Lord, both are constructed creatures, not the mythical Titan race of giants as told in legends. Strictly speaking, whether it’s the Titan Giant or the Thunder God Lord, both are constructed in imitation of the true Mythical Titan species. Much like various golems, this Titan Giant is also a kind of golem, albeit an advanced one.
