Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 979: Brown Bone Pearl

When Saint Light Hall was using the super strong equipment to attack the Imperial City, no one bothered about Ye Zhongming.

Of course, it was just temporary, as the outside commotion was huge. The protector and the rest were at the hallʼs entrance.

The purple crystal ball’s need for mental energy decreased and then stopped, which made Ye Zhongming relax. But he hesitated.

He already obtained the equipmentʼs name, but he was unsure if it was the same as before he strengthened it.

“Brown Bone Pearl, recognition 7%, ability unlocked level 3, ability choice…”

Ye Zhongming was lost as this wasn’t the same as equipment from wheels. He didn’t know what recognition was and why the success rate was only 7%. He also didn’t know what ability unlocked meant. Was it the same as seals? Or was there a difference?

It was probably like this because it was a Blue Secret Realm equipment.

Ye Zhongming placed his questions down and continued to read the information in his mind.

“Choice 1, Reflecting Body. Create a clone filled with energy that has half the function of your main body and is completely controlled. It can wear equipment. The main body permanently loses 10% of its stats when it dies. The clone needs the Brown Bone Pearl to charge, and the time needed to charge is related to the intensity of use.”

“Choice 2, Impure Green Bottle. Modify a bottle-shaped thing to be able to accept green impure gas. You can release the gas after charging the Brown Bone Pearl to create a death region. The amount of gas it contains is related to the recognition level and ability unlocked level.”
“Choice 3, Heaven Covering Barrier. Create a giant barrier to prevent all other ranged attacks apart from mental energy attacks. The defense will consume energy based on how intense the attack is. When the energy reaches zero, the barrier will disappear. Ability charges are one day.”

“Choice 4, recognition insufficient… Unlocked level not enough.”

“Choice 5, recognition insufficient… Unlocked level not enough.”

…………

……

“Choice 10, recognition insufficient… Unlocked level not enough.”

Apart from the description of the skill itself, there was also another explanation for the equipment.

Ye Zhongming took a look and understood.

This equipment was good but had a huge connection with the recognition and unlocked levels.

A piece of equipment with ten abilities was probably something only the Ocean King Crown could compare to, which is why Ye Zhongming guessed that this was the outline of five-colored equipment.

But, the recognition number and unlocked level meant that Ye Zhongming could not totally own this equipment. This had never happened before. He couldn’t even place it in his space.

It didn’t even react!

The equipment needed mental energy to use its ten abilities. You had to give it mental energy to charge it.

This thing absorbed 80% of his mental energy. He activated it and charged it a little.

When Ye Zhongming charged it, he could sense another lifeform’s energy inside the Brown Bone Pearl. That energy was so much that he couldn’t compare to it even if he was sucked dry.

Ye Zhongming guessed that it belonged to its old master. That master was stronger than him and had left energy in this pearl. Even after so many years, it was still so full.

Ye Zhongming used Strengthen and it was a process for the Pearl to change masters. That old master’s energy was eliminated through that light pillar. Although there was still some energy within and even merged with the energy that Ye Zhongming injected, it was at most a fifth full.

After understanding all that, Ye Zhongming slowly understood the recognition and unlocked level.

Recognition should refer to how much energy he could charge into the pearl. After maintaining 20% of his mental energy, he should be able to charge it by 7%. So, he could only have one of the ten abilities. Unlocked level meant that he only unlocked three abilities. The skill he could have was chosen from those three abilities.

Ye Zhongming stood up and moved his stiff knees. He looked at the Brown Bone Pearl. He didn’t expect that this coronation ceremony, which should have been just a simple ritual, would end with him getting something he couldn’t take away.

Although he wasn’t sure if his recognition level could increase if he injected more mental energy after it recovered or if he had to use other materials to strengthen it, at least he could have one ability.

Reflection Body would increase his strength the most of the three choices. But if it died, he would lose 10% of his stats. But when the clone is still around, it would provide huge help.

He placed his hand on the Brown Bone Pearl and planned to use Reflecting Body.

“You are awake?”

The protector ran back and saw that Ye Zhongming had stood up. He shouted before pulling him, “Let’s go, something happened at the walls. Saint Light Hall has activated… Power of the Gods!”

The protector saw that flash and saw the light that landed on the wall and had a few guesses.

He wanted to take a look to see if it was the legendary Saint Light Hall secret weapon that an ancestor had mentioned.

But when he was about to leave, he realized that the Posthumous people couldn’t block it if it were that weapon. The only people who could block it would be Cloud Peak, who came from another world. So he returned to see Ye Zhongming’s situation. He noticed that he woke up and brought him to the wall.

“What is the Power of the Gods?”

Ye Zhongming didn’t understand. He walked with the Protector and asked.

“Which is…” The Protector explained and told him about what had happened. Ye Zhongming got anxious when he heard it.

What if Saint Light Hall chose Cloud Peak’s defense line?

Ye Zhongming tossed the protector’s hand aside and returned to the Brown Bone Pearl. He chose ability 3, Heaven Covering Barrier.
