Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1890: Nine abilities

Ye Zhongming extended his hand and shook hands with this man who, though strange, had a peculiar beauty.

So this was White Robe? The Silver Order Leader?

The star figure of the Star-Eye Clan?

His level and strength seemed far above two thousand Fuleila, right?

Seeing that Ye Zhongming was still alive and had even just killed two Gurui Star Race members, such a performance made White Robe very satisfied. He felt that paying the price to come down was worth it.

“Who’s first? Or together?”

White Robe really did things without any delay. He said he would trouble the Taros Red Dwarves, and he absolutely meant it without a second word.

Anyone could see that he must have gone through a fierce battle before arriving here; the blood on his body wasn’t even dry yet. Moreover, there were some visible wounds, though it was unknown if his internal organs were injured.

That is to say, his condition wasn’t very good. Plus, everyone knew he must have used special means to suppress his power to be allowed to descend to the Novice battlefield. Right now, he certainly wasn’t in a good state.

However, a person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow. White Robe was too famous among the cosmic races. His various deeds couldn’t be called legendary, but one thing was universally acknowledged: he was a crazy, reckless madman.

How many powerful warriors of the cosmic races had suffered frustrating defeats under White Robe’s recklessness!

The three Taros Red Dwarves naturally also knew who White Robe was and knew his style. So, even though they clearly knew the current White Robe wasn’t the White Robe from outside, for a moment, they still didn’t dare to answer.

In terms of momentum, they were completely defeated.

The Novices were very excited and completely relieved.

If before they were qualified to fight the three Taros Red Dwarves, now it was their turn to have the upper hand.

The situation was excellent; no one would be unhappy, at least their lives could be saved.

Ji Ruiguang looked at White Robe, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He didn’t think starting a fight with the Taros Red Dwarves now was a wise choice. Although they should win, damage was unavoidable. With several hours left until the end and the possibility of other warriors arriving at any time, preserving strength should be the top priority, not fighting recklessly.

White Robe didn’t refrain from acting just because the Taros Red Dwarves remained silent. Instead, he walked towards them. His speed wasn’t fast; each step covered the same distance as if measured.

He was going to fight!

Ji Ruiguang sighed inwardly; this person really was like a madman.

“Can you still fight?”

He was very close to Ye Zhongming and asked in a barely audible voice.

Ji Ruiguang felt it necessary to clarify Ye Zhongming’s true current state, so he could prepare for the situations that might arise next.

Ye Zhongming didn’t move but replied in a voice only Ji Ruiguang could hear, “Injuries are all healed, but can’t go all out.”

Ji Ruiguang understood.

The Cloud Peak King should be at his normal level, but wanting him to exert the power that almost instantly killed the two treants just now was probably impossible. It seemed Ye Zhongming had been bluffing before, hoping to scare away those dwarves.

Actually, deep down, Ye Zhongming also felt that White Robe shouldn’t be so insistent on fighting these dwarves. But he had suppressed his strength and risked his life to come down and help him; this favor he had to accept. Since that was the case, whatever action the Silver Order Leader took, Ye Zhongming could only accompany him.

As for that state from before, it was completely unsustainable because the cooldown period had arrived.

It was the Earth Spirit’s successful evolution that gave Ye Zhongming that explosive power.

Originally, the Earth Spirit was in its juvenile stage, possessing six abilities, with the other six sealed. Now it had truly evolved once, entering the growth stage, and three more abilities were unlocked at once. Added to the previous ones—Gravity Jump, Space Unobstructed, Big Eater, Earth Shaker, Devoted Guardian, and Black Earth Armor—the little guy now possessed nine abilities.

When killing the two Gurui Star Race warriors earlier, the Cloud Peak King had used all three newly obtained abilities.

That armor, which made him immune to attacks, was actually the third minor ability under the Black Earth Armor: Invincible Armor. It provided three seconds of immunity to all attacks, with a cooldown of two thousand hours. That was also the courage that allowed Ye Zhongming to challenge above his level.

Besides that, his injuries suddenly healing was due to a new ability—Earth’s Nurture.

This was a semi-passive ability. As long as Ye Zhongming was on the earth, power would continuously be stored within his body. When injured, it would heal the wounds. It was called semi-passive because when Ye Zhongming himself was unharmed, he could control this power to heal other targets.

It seemed like a relatively weak ability, but it was the one Ye Zhongming favored the most.

After coming to the heavens, he naturally didn’t bring the Blood Stepping Boots, so its ability was out of the question. His sustained combat ability had declined somewhat, even after his physical quality greatly improved.

Although this ability couldn’t compensate for this aspect, it came with its own healing properties. After storing for a period, even if he was injured, he could heal almost instantly, much like having an extra life. And being able to apply it to others gave Ye Zhongming the ability to assist companions.

When killing the second Gurui Star Race member, the ‘hand’ that reached out from underground to restrain the target was the eighth ability—Life-Severing Grip.

This was an active ability, a pure attack ability. The ground would condense into a giant hand-like structure, restraining the target’s lower body, not only immobilizing them but also subjecting them to a squeezing force ten times the strength of the Earth Spirit’s owner.

Ye Zhongming’s strength was already overpowered; the power after ten times amplification was imaginable. That treant, despite his treantification and extraordinarily high defense, was really somewhat inadequate against this kind of force. Not to mention suffering other attacks from Ye Zhongming, even without them, he would have been crushed to death in his lower body. That was Life-Severing Grip.

This ability had another characteristic: it would generate the giant hand according to the ground’s condition. That is, on black earth, a black earth hand would appear; on sand, a sand hand; on rock, a rock hand, etc. No matter the material, it didn’t affect the ability’s manifestation.

The ninth ability was called—Life’s Plunder.

Any life that grew upon the ground would be affected by the Earth Spirit. Under the owner’s control, the energy they had absorbed from the ground could be extracted.

If not for the fact that this ability’s targets were limited, it would simply be invincible. Needless to say, practically all life, to a greater or lesser extent, draws power from the ground. For others, it might at most make them weak, but for plant-based life, this ability was a trump card; they were completely suppressed. If you added the damage reduction Ye Zhongming gained from consuming the Heart of Nature, it basically meant he was completely immune to any attack from mutant plants.

As it happened, the Gurui Star Race planted the seeds of the Sacred Tree inside their own bodies…
